new way TO
PREPARE
LAMB CHOPS
Addition of Novel Seasoning
Improves Their Flavor

This new method really begins be-
fore the chops are put on the broiler
or in the pan.
First make a mixture Of y tea
spoonful salt, 1 teaspoonful sugar,
l teaspoonful vinegar or lemon juice
and 5 tablespoonfulS Of salad oil
Pour this over the chops and let
stand for a few minutes, then fry
or broil them and yeu will be de-
lighted with the way this seasoning
heightens the flavor Of the lamb.
If you wish you can use the mixture
to baste the chops as they cook.
The sugar is a most important
ingredient Of the mixture just de.
scribed because it blends the salt
lemon juice and oil into a smooth,
piquaffe goodness.
A dash of sugar to a pinch of
salt is a good rule to follow in many
other kinds of cookery. In cooking
vegetables this combination notice
ably and pleasantly emphasizes the
favor of carrots, spinach, string
beans, cabbage and peas. Doctors
approve the use of sugar as a flavor
on these essential foods because 1t
arouses the appetite to eat more of
them. Good food promotes good
health. The Sugar Institute.

deal of satisfaction out of some
of this springs fashions.
Why? Because there are
dresses this year that have a
decided coat or suit feeling
about them. And when you
wear them, you look as though
you were wearing a coat or suit,
but feel as cool and comfortable
as anybody can on a torrid day.
Coat Dresses
Chief among these fashions is
the coat dress a dress that
is put on like a coat (not over
the head as are most dresses).
wrapped and fastened like a
coat.
Vionnet, Paris designer, is
responsible for this fashion. It
was her original idea this year,
but it is such a practical fash.

taken it up and now you can
find many, many different vel-
SionS of it.

removed for indoor wear. The
sketch shows one of these
dresses with a cape just short
of elbow length.
Of course you'll also find
many such dresses with capes a
little longer than this one.
And some with eapes a little
shorter. The style you choose
depends on which is the most
becoming.
Jacket Dresses
Dresses with bolero or Eton
jackets give you the feeling of
wearing a suit. Some of these
jackets are detachable. Some
are attached to the dress. Some

FURNISHINGS
SUGGESTED
FOR MEN
Collars, Shirts, and Ties
Are Discussed
B yExpert
By WILMA LA VILE

YESTERDAY we discussed
spring suits for men. But
the costume isn't complete with
out the right furnishings, SO
today we will go into the mat
ter of shirts, ties and so on,
as they are now being selected
by the well-dressed men Of
Washington.
We find that younger men
select collar-attached shirts
most often, the collar soft,
while business men wear shirts
with starched collar to match,
the collar rather low. Medium
and low collars are smarter on
all shirts, by the way. Plain
colors and stripes Of a simple
nature contend for first place
in favor. White is the leading
color, especially for summer,
with blue next, and some green
and tan worn. AS for fabrics,
madras and broadcloth are the
most popular, while some men
prefer oxford for hot weather.
Silk shirts seem to be worn by
very few men.
In the matter of ties, men
dare to be individual, though
the tie of course must be in
harmony with the suit and
shirt. II the shirt is figured or
striped, the tie Is often plain,
or with a plain shirt, a figured
or striped tie is worn. Suit
patterns are usually so small
and indiStinct that they add
very little pattern value to the
costume, so need not be con.
sidered in this respect. Small
figures are the most popular
here, with plain colors and mar.
row stripes following closely.
The small figures are called
Spitalfields, for the English
town where they originate.
Young men sometimes wear
broad or regimental stripes.
Shantung is good in plain
colors for summer. M any
colors are good in ties, blues.
wines, green, yellow, and so on.
Men are becoming more fussy
about their underwear, too.
They are buying plain colors
first, this spring, and stripes
second. Shorts and shirts are
more popular than union suits.
Plain white Isle shirts are the
favoriteS. and shirting fabrics
are used for shorts.
The color of the hat is de.
cided by the color Of the suit.
and as gray is most popular
for suits, so it is for hats. Gray
hats are also worn with blue
suits. Tan and brown hats are
next, brown perhaps better
than tan. Snap brimS are the
most popular. the snap brim
having a rather high crown.
And welt edged hats are chosen
next by Washingtonians.
Shoes are about equally di-
vided between black and tan
" the tan a bit darker
than it has been.
Braces or Suspenders are on
the increase, though some peo-
pie expect them to give way to
belts when really warm weather
comes.

through the courtesy of the
Style Committee of the Ma
tional Association of Retail

PEGGY WATSON
COMING WITH
HER PRINCE
Former Washington Girl,
Who Married Royalty,
to Be Visitor

= a BIT dazzling is the news
that the Prince and Princess
Charles Philippe d'Orleans,
Duke and Duchess de Ne
raours, are returning to
American this summer to
visit the latter's mother in
Newport.
The Princess Duchess is,
of2course, no other than the
former Miss Peggy Watson,
of. Washington and New
York, daughter of Mrs.
Garrett P. Watson. And her
husband, Prince Charles,
youthful scion Of French
royalty, is the recognized
pretender to the ancient
throne of the Bourbons.
Back in 1928 when pretty
Peggy married her prince over
the protests of his parents, the
Duke and Duchess de Vendome
and the, vigorous objections Of
his uncle, King Albert of Bel
giliin, she contracted one of the
most brilliant international al
lianceS ever made by an Ameri-
can girl. Not particularly
wealthy and several years older
than her husband, her undis-
puted beauty and charm carried
her to heights, heretofore un-
dreamed of by ambitious Ameri-
can heireSseS.
And they have been bliSsfully
happy. GosSips from abroad
reports Princess Charles still
deeply infatuated with his bride
and Peggy herself fairly burb-
ling with happiness. For time
following the ceremony King
Albert and the royal de Ven
doines refused to recognize the
untitled and (what must have
been most importantly also un-
lowered new member of the
family. But the new Princess
de Nen1ours blandly ignored
their frownS and according to
recent news from Paris has at
last won her in-laws to her side.
The Duchess de Vendome at
least has recognized her daugh-
tefin-law and, or so it's said,
is completely reconciled to
the match. Unable to resist her
sons evident happiness she
found many reasons to forgive
the penniless but lovely Amer
ican for her audacity in marry
ing q member of a royal if not
reigning house.
Guest of Mother
Since their honeymoon the
Prince and Princess de Nemous
haye been sheep farming in
Northern Africa the former
belle of Washington, New York
and European capitals having
deserted society for a modest
farm mousse on the shores or
the Mediterranean. This will
be their first visit to the
United States since their mar
riage.
At Newport they will be the
guest of the princess mother.
Mrs. Watson, at her miniature
villa on Bellevue Road, the
'Bandbox." While the Watson
cottage is perhaps an amazing
shelter for the possible pre-
tender to the throne of France
