BY THE FOOD EXPERT.

"Can you suggest some good nour-
ishing foods that don't have to be
cooked?" asks correspondent, adding:
"It seems to me as II spend half my
time cooking"
The truth of the matter is that most
housewives spend too much time cook
ing--and almost every one eats too
little uncooked food. Anthropologists
tell us that the use Of fire was known
to man In the Old Stone or Paleolithic
Age-possibly in as remote a period as
so 900 years BC.-and in the $4,000
years since then housewives have been
busy cooking in one way or another.
But human beings thrived and were,
suppose, well nourished in the days
before any one thought Of cooking food
and for thousands Of years most foods
| we're eaten raw.
1t must be borne in mind that the
art of cooking Is tremendously i'm
portant and that quite number OF
useful foods would be entirely worth
less IL uncooked. Experts in cookery
list the purposes served in food cookery
under four headings.
First, cooking makes foods tender,
rendering them soft enough for the
digestive juices to act upon.
Second, 1t makes certain chemical
kchanges favorable to digestion. This Is
most important in the case Of starch
which by cooking Is changed to dex-
trine and sugar.
Third. 1t kills certain disease bac-
| terra.
Fourth, it brings out the flavor OF
certain foods.
| From these facts we may see that
foods that may be properly eaten raw
are those that are ripe enough OF
tender enough not to need the changes
wrought by cooking-such as perfectly
ripe fruit, and vegetables that are not
too starchy or f1brous. It is also i'm
portant to remember that foods that
are to be eaten raw should be perfectly
fresh and clean and free from disease
| bacteria.
With regard to flavor it must be re-
membered that while the favor of GER
tain foods is improved with cooking
many foods have a much better flavor
II eaten raw-berries, peaches, nuts
lettuce, for instance.
| To the housewife who wants to re-
duce the time spent in cooking to a
minimum, would suggest planning to
nave out one cooked meal day-oH
one cooking session day. The foods
Tor the other two meals may be for
most part uncooked or the cooking re-
CURED may be done at the time the
cooked meal is prepared. We of this
DAY nave decided advantage In the
various prepared foods that NAV be-
bought ready cooked for us.
Breakfast may well be an uncooked
meal, or nearly uncooked, all Summer
II you drink coffee of course that has
to be cooked, but that like the boflinc
OF eggs requires little more than the

~ ICNIC meals are ages older than
conventional meals eaten in din
ing rooms or breakfast hooks or
Il served on comfortably screened
in porches. So when days are
warm and balmy and there aren't too
many clouds in the sky. we are Just re-
spending to the call of the primitive
manor primitive woman-within us
when we announce that there isn't go
ing to be any meal at home that night,
but instead picnic supper In the WOODS
or on the shore.
Just as surely as fingers were made
before forks, so picnics were made be-
fore meals at a dining table. and pota7.
toes and corn were roasted in the en-
bers of wood fire long before they were
baked in an oven or cooked over an
up-to-date stove.
But when you make your suggestion
about picnic supper there may be
some one in the family-there usually
iS-who makes some remark about pre-
ferring not TO have gnats or flies or
mosquitoes in his coffee and not seeing
the sense of going TO all the fuss OF
Juggling a meal outdoors when 1t Is so
much easier to eat at home. What
we're dining rooms made for. anyway?
And why not have a regular meal at
home and then go for comfortable
drive along the highway afterward?
For every one of these super civilized
people who protest at the idea OF a
picnic, there are usually four or five
who beam with JOY at the thought OF
it. But even the objectors are likely
to forget their objections when the pic
mic spread Is carefully planned and
served in not too barbarous manner.
Automobiles have. of course. made a
tremendous difference IN this matter OF
picnics. and even If every one cannot
be carried to the picnic site in this COM
Portable manner. at least the spread can
be so conveyed A few pounds more or
less of equipment makes little differ
ence. so unless you would really rather
do without fork and stir your coffee
with a stick instead of a spoon. there
is no reason why you should have 10.
If you carry the picnic by automo-
bile, ice cream may be carried quite
easily in an ice cream freezer or one OF
the special ice cream carriers that come

A century ago Paris was the cradle
OF fashion quite as much as it is today.
and though French styles Travelled more
slowly to this country than they co to-
day, changes In skirt lengths. size OF
sleeves and the position Of the waistltne
as determined in Paris affected Aneri-
can women Just as truly as they do at
present Perhaps even more so because
the French designers did not take into
consideration, as they very often do TO-
day. the fate Of a possible new fashion
IN the New World.
A hundred years ago the high waist
Of the Directoire and Empire period had
gone out Of fashion entirely-it was only
the hopelessly old-fashioned women who
still wore high-waisted frocks that
might be worn without corsets.
The normal waistline had returned
and with it tightly laced corsets. The
fashionable ideal was the hour-glaSs
silhouette
Skirts were enormously wide, but were
still considered short permitting as
they did glimpse Of the feet and even
Of the ankles.
The most grotesque detail of the pre-
vailing fashion was the leg-o'-mutton
sleeve, which had come into fashion
some eight years before and had been
growing steadily wider. Sometimes they
were stuffed with down and extended
with wires and stuff Innings.
Dropping shoulders were greatly ad-
rraired and these enormous sleeves were
set into armhoIes well below the shOui-
ders, while evening gowns left the neck
and shoulders bare Wide berthas were
also worn and what with the wide skirts
and the wide sleeves women seemed TO
desire TO look as wide as they were long.
Hair that had been cut short In the
Directoire period had had chance TO
regain its normal length and was
conbed up high and tight at the back,
parted IN the center and arranged N
curlg at the side that often were brought
around over the sides OF the forehead
as well.
Usually some mead covering was worn
Cans were the rule indoors for women
Of all ages. For outdoor wear. wide
brimmed, elaborately trimmed hats were
worn, and for parties ingenious head
dresses made Of lace and net. trimmed
with feathers, flowers and ribbons
JeweIry was much worn. There
were fancy combs and pins, necklaces
long chains, bracelets, rings, earrings
brooches, belt buckles, jeweled fans and
bouquet holders In which women wore
real flowers.
With the enormous sleeves. coats were
practically out Of the question. Shawll
were st1n worn-as they continued 70 o
