French 600" Adapted
for Study of Insects

What might be called an insect zoo
has just opened in Paris. In the new
vivarium in the Jardin des Plantes,
the public has the extraordinary ex-
perience of watching insects in their
natural environments, each group
shown in an indoor glass cage fitted
up to seem like home to the inhabi-
tants. This has not been so easy Of
accomplishment as it might seem. The
insects come from various climates
Thus complicated heating system is
necessary to simulate the African
desert in one cage and coolish tenn
perature in the next. In some cases
it has been necessary to fool the in
sects for the benefit of the public.
The scorpions, if left to their own de-
vices, would completely disappear
from sight. However, they seem well
satisfied to hide beneath plates OF
transparent glass through which they
can easily be seen. Several cages are
devoted to exhibits of insect mimicry.
The giant phasmas look like the green
leaves they feed upon, and others ex-
actly resemble the straw-cOlOred
branches to which they are clinging.
The observer must watch closely for
some movement to tell which is which.

ing the immediate social hours of

According to these advance modes,
the lace enthusiast is to have her
''fiing'' at lace of every description
during the coming months. To be
sure, our stylists have been for some
time past limiting of the coming SUI
premacy of lace in the mode. Day by

pearance, especially in the form of

BY the way, these lace accessories
are TO be more than ever highlighted

fine lace at neckline and waistline.
The newer lace sets are very elab-
crate and are styled most interesting

the points especially stressed by those
who have studied the fitting of shoes,
and that is that the inner line of the
shoe should be straight.
To be comfortable, safe, durable
and attractive, shoes for everyday
wear must conform to the natural
shape of the feet and protect them.
They must also provide firm founda-
ton for the body. Shoes of correct
shape are broad and round at the toe
and straight along the inner edge. A
pair Of normal feet placed together
touch at the heel and also from just
In back of the big joints of the big
toes to the ends of these toes. The
inner edges of pair of properly made
shoes do likewise. The more these
edges diverge or curve toward the out
side of the shoe the more unnatural
the shoes shape and the greater the
wearer's discomfort. If such shoes are
persistently worn enlarged joints and
bunions are bound to result.
Compare the X-ray of the foot in
badly shaped shoes with the position
of the bones In the correctly shaped
mans shoes designed for army use.
There is no room for choice as to
which shoe is more desirable.

TRY FRESH BEEF TONGUE
FOR A GOOD DINNER Dish

It is not necessary TO have all
tongue cured before cooking it. Fresh
beef tongue makes a delicious dish
and is so unusual that one might
imagine a new meat had been discov-
cred. Here are directions for prepar-
ing it, furnished by the bureau of
home economics:
/ beef tongue 1 onion, large
4 quarts water / teaspoon pepper
3 sprigs parsley corns
n teaspoon salt bay leaves
Wash the tongue well and do not
trim it. Place it in water to cover,
add the, seasonings and simmer for
two and one-half to three hours or
until the meat is tender. Skin the
tongue. Slice 1t and serve hot, or
allow 1t to cool in the liquor after
skinning, and serve it cold. Make
stew from the meat at the base of the
tongue, the liquor and added vege-
tables. Or cook spinach or kale in
the liquor and serve with the meat
which is not in shape for slicing.

Fit the shoulders first of all when
you are making a dress. When the
shoulder seam is properly placed it
garment. AS result the material
should hang smoothly over the chest
and shoulder blades with no wrinkles
or bugles, either in the front or the
back, and there should be no appear
'ance of tightness.
The normal shoulder seam starts
at the highest point of the neck line
and extends in straight line to one
half inch back of the highest point on
the tip of the shoulder. Try laying
pencil from the neck following the
correct line to the tip of the shoulder.
This seam line should not be visible
from either the front or back when
the garment is worn.
When fitting the shoulders, begin at
the neck and work toward the arm
holes. keeping in mind that the length
wise threads of the cloth must be
parallel to the center front and back
of the figure and crosswise threads
parallel to the floor. The large figure
necessitates a slight exception to this
general rule, as the crosswise threads
over the bust slant slightly downward.
Other locations of the shoulder
seam are used to give different Shout
der effects. For example, to produce
a square-shouldered or yoke effect the
seam may be placed two or three
inches lower in front than the normal
shoulder line. That is, the back sec

BreUity the Highest
Point of EIoouence

The story is told that when Abra-

committee over a speech the Presi-
dent was to make. he said: eff l am
to talk 40 minutes / will not need any
time for preparation, but if 1 am to
speak 10 minutes would like week
to get my remarks ready"
Lincoln could say more in a few
words than any man of modern times.
In literature and oratory, it has al
ways been the brief, simple, lucid
style of expression that has created
the most lasting impression.

never able to live down the quip of
"Mr. Dooley," who described one of
his oratorical flights in the senate as
a "spache We cud waltz to-"

The scheme is very simple. At

slope, and sew on this line. This
seam will help to adjust the costume
to the figure. When this alteration is
made the underarm seam Is let out
the same width as was taken off the
shoulder, or gusset is set in to make
the armhole the correct size.
For a round-shouldered person the
shoulder seam line should be placed
slightly back of its normal position,
In both the set-in and kimono-type of
sleeve. This will give more erect
appearance to the figure. Placing 1t
on top or to the front will emphasize
round shoulders. On the very erect
type, this seam is more becoming di-
rectly on top of the shoulder. The
shoulder Of garment should be
wide enough that the set-in sleeve will
not be brought up on the shoulder,
which gives pinched effect, yet the
shoulder of the garment should be
narrow enough to prevent the sleeve
from falling below the shoulder tip
and so give dropped appearance.
The choice of set-in or kimono type
of sleeve depends, in part, on what
points ought to be emphasized in the
wearer's build. Extending the Shout
der line, as in the kimono type of
sleeve, broadens the apparent width
of the shoulder, so If a more slender
appearance is desired, the set-in
sleeve, correctly placed, is better.
Hold the back of the waist toward
you when basting the shoulder seam.
The back shoulder edge should be
about one-half inch longer than the
front edge. BY easing In this extra
fullness the entire length of the seam,
the shoulder blades are fitted more
perfectly. In wooden materials 1t is
well to shrink out this fullness after
the shoulders have been fitted and
before the seam is stitched.
