What's Next IN Fashions?
By BETTY BROwNLEE
[Fansons Fashion Expen1
By BETTY BROWNIE

TUTITH the arrival Of the
W Summer season and the
general exodus to sea
shore, mountains and other re-
sorts, comes the problem Of what
to wear for travelling. A woman
who is always smartly dressed
gives Just as much thought to her
travelling costume as she does to
every other garment in her ward
robe. We are probably more
observed and every item of our
wardrobes more carefully noted
on trains and boats and other
public conveyances, than we r
anywhere else. People who r
travelling for pleasure, especially
women, having nothing to occupy
themselves with in a long trip,
find it amusing and diverting to
note what their fellow travellers
are wearing. In this way, they
often pick up style hints and the
otherwise dull hours fly by. For
what woman is not interested in
the next woman's clothes.
So it is always a good plan to
buy clothes for the vacation trip
with the thought in mind that you
want a travelling costume that
will make you look your best.
This is just as important for the
short trip, as it is for the lucky
people who are planning a trip
abroad and the consequent four
or five days on the water. Of
course, these fortunates need a
more varied wardrobe than those
who are making q short run by
train or even an overnight train
trip.
Almost the first thing to con-
slider is a travelling coat. Don't
make the mistake of using your
dressy Spring coat for this pur-
pose. Not only because il isn't
appropriate, but it isn't practical.
"A coat Of a soft material doesn't
stand up under hard wear-you
will arrive at your destination
with your coat dusty and creased.
You won't have that comfortable.
well groomed feeling that one
should have at the end of a trip.

Most Good Cooks
Measure Their
"Makin's'

ITO some of you, correct
measurements have be-
come a part Of your every
day habits, and you realize how
essential they are. But there
are a few people who still cook
with a lump of butter and a
rounding or heaping spoonful OF
sugar. Every cook, to be a good
one, must know that a cupful
always means a standard measur-
ing cup level full and an ordinary
tea OF coffee cup should never
be used for measuring, because
there il a difference and that dir-
ference may mean the ruin of y
recipe.
A tablespoonful Ut
full means a standard measuring
spoon level full. Also one cum
full Of chopped nuts and one
cupful Of nuts chopped mean two
different quantities, az do one
cupful of whipped cream and one
cupful Of cream whipped. One
cupful of flour means one Gun
full Of flour which has been sifted
before measuring, and not packed
into the cup. Any amount less
than m cupful Of fat Is difficult
to measure. This may be over
come if, for instance, in measur-
ing one-third cupful Of shorten
ing. you I'LL the measuring j
two-thirds full Of cold wateT
Then drop in the fat in solid
pieces, pushing them well under
the water until the water rises 70
the one cupful mark.
After pouring off the water.
you win have exactly one-third
cupful Of fat.

II little curly-cues, such as

ranged before attempting to place
the waves. If the hair is suffi-
GENTLY wet you will have no
trouble whatever keeping them in

"set."
Suppose we start waving the
right side Of the hair: Place the
comb about one and one-half
inches from the part and draw
the hair out toward the face.
The next wave Of course is made
by pushing the next two inches
OF SO Of hair toward the back Of
the head. In this way each csve
is made, but be sure that you
do not spoil one wave while MAX
ing the next. Press the fingers
firmly against the head, holding
the previously made wave with
one hand while arranging the suc-
ceeding one. The amateur may
use little hair pins or combs for
this purpose, but after a few at
tempts you will find that the set
ting or placing of such a wave IS
not such a difficult task.

The collar, border and belt are

AIM ORDINANCE
At PEDDLERS

HAGERSTOwN, Md, May ga
peddling ordinance carrying a Ii.
cense of 800 a year, aimed prin-
cipally at fruit and vegetable dealers
of Baltimore and Washington. 1t is
said, has been passed by the city
council following controversy
which has waged for more than two
months.
In addition to the license fee. the
ordinance also requires that persons
who do not maintain a residence or
place of business in Hagerstown
must also pay a fee of 81 day for
every person they employ to peddie
goods on the streets.
Local peddlers must pay 81 per
day for each person they have on
the streets. but they are exempt
from the annual license.
Passage of the ordinance was the
result of the activity Of local dealers
and merchants who urged that the
license fee for outsiders peddling in
Hagerstown be $500.
1t was found, however. that the
city council could not impose a IL
cense Of more than 500 under the
charter.
Several conferences Of merchants
and dealers with Mayor Reuben
Musey and the city council were
held and strong pressure was
brought to bear upon the officials
to make the license as high as pos
sible.

D. c. SOCIAL WAR.
FLARES OUT
ANEW

The Capitals social warfare over
the seating precedence at formal
dinners did not end with the sol
emn decision of the diplomatic
corps that Mrs. Dolly" Cam, half.
sister of Vice President Curtis, was
entitled to rank as the Second
lady" on such occasions.
Those who thought it did just
don't know their Washington.
The buzzing around the tea tables
and in the drawing rooms began
anew today and concerned dinner
given by the Eugene Meyers, who
have long been prominent in Cap
ital society.
To this dinner. so the story goes,
were invited the Cams and the
Speaker and Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth. who was Alice Roosevelt.
Upon learning that Mrs. Gam
was to be present and seated as
the ranking lady, Mrs. Longworth
Is said to have sent her regrets at
the last moment. These regrets. Il
is said, were followed by Mrs.
Cams regrets when she was ap-
prised that Mrs. Longworth had de.
clined. So neither OF them at
tended.
Town BuzZing
The town is buzzing with 1t, but
none of the principals would dis.
cuss it today.
Mrs. Meyer referred inquirers to
Mrs. Longworth.
Mrs Longworth told reporters she
was "out of town"
And there you are.
Long Question
The social precedence of the
Speaker of the House has long
been a matter of contention IN
Washington.
Once when Uncle Joe" Cannon
was Speaker he declined an invi-
tation to the White House because
he learned that he was not to be
seated according to what he con-
sidered the Speakers rank.
President Roosevelt thereupon
gave a special dinner for Uncle
Joe" at which he was the ranking
guest.
The dinner has become an insti-
tuition in Washington. Once every
year the President gives a formal
dinner at the White House to the
Speaker of the House. It is known
as the Speakers dinner"
