Sleeveless jacket
Is Easily Made

You may be entirely in favor of the
eighteenth amendment and a stanch
believer in prohibition-and still as a
matter of fashion you may wear cham
pagne-colored gloves and frocks of alb
sinthe green or wine red And now as
last bit of inconsistency you may find
1t decidedly convenient to add a cock
tail coat to your wardrobe.
Many Of the new evening frocks are
made with these lightweight coats that
are worn when a little extra protection
Is needed when sleeveless evening
frock Is worn for the cocktail hour
before dinner or for dining zen restau-
rante." These cocktail coats-at least
those designed for Summer-are made
OF chiffon, lace or some other nearly
transparent material and are made with
long sleeves
Then there are sleeveless Jackets
which are sometimes known as house
jackets to be slipped on over the long
sleeved afternoon frock or over the eve
ming gown when the long-sleeved cock
tail coat is not needed
There are so many times when you
need little extra warmth over your
lightweight Summer frocks and the
whole effect of pretty afternoon or
evening gown may be spoiled if you
wear any sport sweater or scarf that
happens TO be convenient. It is much
better TO have little house Jacket to
go with your afternoon or evening
frock or made to go with several. II

velvet, metal cloth-or any other rich
material that is not too thick

Two parts ice to one of salt gives a
rapid freezing mixture, which is desir-
able when q coarse, light-grained des-
sert Is wanted. For this reason 1t is
used for frappes.
Three parts ice 10 one Of salt gives
a slower-freeZing mixture. which Is de-
sirable when a smooth, solid texture is
desired, as Is the case with ice creams
and ices
Four parts ice TO one part salt Is the
mixture best suited for packing after
the contents of can or mold have al
ready been frozen to the desired con-
SiStency.
Some persons think that the faster
they turn the freezer the more rapidly
the contents of the can viii freeze.
Turning the freezer really has nothing
to do with the freezing process, save
that 1t mixes the frozen mixture nearest
the outside of the can with the un-
frozen part In the center of the can
and thus gives an even texture. To be-
gin with the crank should be turned
very slowly. When you feel that the
mixture Is becoming partly frozen
quicken up the turning. If you want O
light, fluffy texture. turn the crank as
briskly as possible. II you want the
cream smooth and compact, turn only
rapidly enough to keep the dasher from
sticking. There is no real advantage In
continuing TO turn after the turning
becomes really difficult.
When you remove the dasher scrape
the sides of the can down and cover
with piece of waxed or buttered pa
per. Put on the top. The cork used for
the hole In the top Of the cover should
ut snugly and should be covered with
clean waxed or huttered paper and then
pressed very firmly into position.
During the freezing process the hole
at the side of the freezer should be left
open so the water may run freely. but
the pail should not be tipped TO get of
more water. When packing you may
tip the pail to let more water flow off
and then pack closely with the packing
mixture, The pail should be left In a
cool place-some part of the cellar II
possible--and should be covered with
| sacking or rug.
II you have a fireless cooker with a
section large enough to take your freez-
ing can, you win find this an excellent
place to keep 1t. The ice and salt may
be packed around it and when the
cooker Is closed very little melting will
take place. II the compartment is care

Small Habits Worse Than Big Ones.

What irritating little habits some peo-
pie havel
Here Is q man who always wipes his
spoons and forks on his napkin before
he takes a nouthful--even In his own
home or when dining in the homes of
his friends. This woman pulls the end
of her noSe--another has trick Of
smoothing and patting her own ankles.
This man when you talk with him has
a way of washing his hands, trick
that actors affect when playing the part
of an unctuous, crafty character.
Another woman Is always making
dives for the shoulder straps of her
lingerie-her husband pulls up his
trousers always before he sits down to
keep them from bagging at the knees.
I heard of man the other day who
had acquired the trick of shaking his
bread before he ate-just as II Il might
have sand in it. The woman who told
me said she could not endure to cat
with him because of this trying habit
Such absurd, disgusting, nerve-rack-
ing habits people havel
And vet, I. think, the worst habit of
all and the one that win react most
unpleasantly upon ourselves Is the habit
of being irritated by these habitS-the
habit of looking for them in the first
place and dwelling on them thereafter
If we have lived in some backwoodS
section of the world, and have asSo-
ciated only with persons whom we con-
slider rather uncultivated, we may
feel as II their little irritating habits
are due to their lack of contact with
the outside world. If we could only get
away from these uncouth individuals,
mingle with truly cultivated folk who
have no such annoying tricksl
But when we do go forth in the world
and nlingle with more urbane individ-
uals we may discover that they too all
have their little tricks and habitS-not
perhaps all, but most of them.
The man who wipes his spoons on
his napkin-and really ought to know
better-is one of the most likable,
large-hearted men know. The woman
who pulls her nose Is successful social
leader. OF course she oughtn't to do

her ankles is adorable. And so it goes

Some Children Don't Get Enough Variety.

II 1t were only the poor mothers or
the mothers who had never had any
adequate education who committed
faults IN their children's diet there
would not be so much cause for sur
prise. But doctors might tell you that
they find faulty diet almost as often In
the homes OF the comfortably we'll of
as in the homes of the poor. and In a
surprisingly large number of cases the
offending parents have had the advan-
tage of education.
OF course they do not make the same
mistakes The educated American
parent does not give his child coffee
or dill pickles or cucumbers. Probably
he does not let him eat watermelon at
9 or mince pie at 10. But he makes
serious mistakes nevertheless.
Some mothers seem to think that the
only real fault lies In eating too much
or eating improper things 1t does not
SO much matter If child refuses to
eat certain other good things. But
