Waistline.

Here Is a word of special warning to
the younger girls. 1t is quite true that
the new frocks are cut more zen forne"
now than they were season or so ago
There are many new frocks that outline
the figure sufficiently to be called prin-
cess. True, too, waistlines have gone
up trifle.
But one thing that has been made
very clear to me in seeing the new eve.
ming frocks that really fashionable wom-
en- are choosing for this season Is that
their tendency to outline and accentuate
the waistline is decidedly restrained.
So If you really do want to look well
dressed, if you want to conform to the
smartest French mode as interpreted by
the most fashionable women in this
country, don't draw In or raise the belt
or girdle Of your evening dress Even
in the new princess frocks the only
place where the line Is really made to
cling very closely is for or 6 inches
about the hips. The Slenderness of the
waist Is suggested but never actually
emphasized, lest In doing this the very
necessary slenderness Of the hips be
obscured.
To attain the effect of a more drawn
in waistline know Is fad with many
Of the younger girls, but assure you
that there is no Paris precedent for this
exaggeratlon, and the chic OF any new
evening frock may be entirely spoiled by
the simple act of raising the waistline.

BY IuNE JAMES.

why not choose red evening frock?
am suggesting this not just because
red is decidedly smart for evening at
present, but becauSe-well, frankly be-
cause men like it.
No, ] am not assuming that you are
q va1np or that you have any remote
intention Of being one, only men are
usually present ct evening parties and
1t isTather nice 70 know they like the
color of your frock. I once heard Of q
middle-aged married man who objected
quite seriously to q new red evening
frock Of his wife'S, but think he was
an exception. Most husbands like to
see their wives in red evening frocks,
provided. of course. that the frock is
In coed taste and of precisely the right
shade of red.
This season there are so many
shades of this color that you ought to
have no trouble in finding one that is
precisely right. There is the new
Scarlet-a real red-that I would not
suggest unless you have a fairly large
wardrobe and not even then unless you
are young and slender and find this
shade becoming.
Then there are the deep wine reds
that are quite majestic and suitable for

Smoked Ham and Pineapple.

If the ham is very salty, soak it for
half an hour in cold water then drain,

The old notion that cheese was un-
wholesome and induced bad dreams s
bit uloth-eaten and frayed around the
edges. 1t was q commonplace among
our grandmothers, however, and such
widely accepted notions regarding this
food or that are generally founded on
some f1lament Of fact.
In checking UP on this prejudice 1t
Is significant, think, that 1t is u
strictly American product--the preiu-
dice, not the cheese. Among Euro
peans no such notion regarding cheese
seems to exist II Is fair. then, to con-
clude that the fault Is either with
American cheese or with the American
way Of eating 1t, and since as every
one knows American cheese for the
most part is of q bland and mild sort
and many European cheeses are de-
cidedly the opposite-the trouble must
be in the way we have eaten It.
There. of course lies the trouble In
the d-faShioned American bill Of fare
cheese appeared with the pie at the
end Of an already ample meal. A rich
protein was added as 4 crowning glory
to the meal that was already too rich
In proteins, and usually with nfince pie
veritable meal in itself. After that
II one dreamed of flying guinea pigs
anu SHShS SAoA NO SAS SAACCSC was
blamed.
Among Europeans cheese has not
been regarded 50 much an accessory
Of diet as real piece de resistance. f"
Bread and cheese and fruit has for
ages provided the habitual midday meal
Of millions Of workers. In the conven-
tional French dinner or luncheon menu
cheese does come at the end Of the
meal but meal usually that has pro-
vided far less liberal allowance Of
meat than would be usual here And
to the French housewife or naitre
d'hotel the idea that cheese should
accompany rich pastry does not occur.
Cheese calls for crusty bread and un-
sweetened waters and comes at the end
of the meal to satisfy any last traces Of
hunger that have survived q not over
lavish repast.
It Is only rather recently that Amer
leans generally have thought of the
possibilities of cheese in actual cook
cry. Grated cheese, which so fittingly
enriches the Italians dish Of boiled
macaroni or spaghetti, Is even now
something Of novelty to us. Grated
cheese is much more easily digested
than cheese served migrated and often
imperfectly rnasticated A little grated
Parmesan or plain American cheese
sprinkled over cream soup q dish
Of potatoes, or certain sorts of salad
adds to It's nourishment and richness
Of flavor.
Let me urge you to consider the
| possibilities of cheese In making your
daily menus. Cream cheese may be
included in the order list at least once
a week. Unsweetened waters and cream
cheese provide nourishing main course
| for the light lunch. With fruit salad
cream cheese is desirable in the same
way that mayonnaise or olive oil L.;
that is, 1t provides q desirable con-
/ trast in fats.
! A little American cheese never comes
amiss in getting up IN impromptu meal.

And don't do the other things so me-

BlouSeS Stress
Pull.On Type

Some of the new blouses are as much
sweater as blouse-yet not to be claSsed
as sweaters,
They are made in every conceivable
interesting color combination, with
many, Of course, in beige and brown.
Some of them, especially those by
Prenet, have fitted cuffs, deep and most
becoming.
Most of the new blouses of this sort
are striped. Sometimes the stripes or
trimming bands go round and round,
sometimes they are diagonal. Son1e-
times they are broken. Diagonal bands
start at shoulder and underarm seam,
come smartly to the front of the blouse
and break off in irregular lines.

Cream Chicken Soup
Tempting on Cold DAYS

Chicken soup might be called one of
the pleasant things about cold weather.
It isn't specially good in hot weather.
It is too rich and heating. Chicken
consomme or jellied chicken bouillon
Is better then. But in cold weather
cream chicken soup appeals to the ap-
petitN of almost everybody.
There are several ways of serving
cream chicken soup. You can serve
It with a small spoon of whipped
cream, sprinkled lightly with paprika,
mace or nutmeg. Or you can serve it
with croutons, small, golden brown
ones. perhaps eight to each plateful.
Here is a recipe for making it that
s reliable.
one quart chicken stock, one small
onion, one tablespoonful of chopped
parsley Bring to boil and simmer for
pne~half hour. Thicken with a little
nour. season with salt, pepper and
nsnrika Just before serving add slow

Wider Use of Cheese Brings

For luncheon you may serve toast with

con combinations to be made from
canned tomatoes and cheese. Poached
eggs on toast With not very thick
cheese sauce are worth trying.
For dinner the addition Of cheese
makes certain vegetables suitable for
