White Choice for Evening Wear

There's the exquisite gown in the
picture, for example, the uninitiated

to those who know, 1t is a master
piece which in the final analysis re-
solves itself into matter of white
transparent velvet Of filmiest texture

and bright beaded bands, the entire
falling into lines of grace through the
subtle art of the designer.
All the way through the program of
evening dress the tendency is to call
attention to beauty of fabric. The
gowns of satin and transparent vel
vet which are playing such an out
standing role in the formal mode are
made to look as classically simple as
possible regardless of the fact that in
their actual construction they involve
a labyrinth of intricate manipulation.
1t is interesting and significant to
note that in Paris leading couturiers
are carrying the vogue of velvet into
spring and summer. Which goes TO
confirm that which has long since been
self-evident-that velvet is proving It,

Protein is necessary in the diet for
the growth and repair of body tissues.
1t may yield energy also, but its inn
portant function is for building and
upkeep. If the diet does not furnish
enough protein, growth is stunted.
Scientists have found, however, that
foods classed as proteins are made up
of combinations of certain recognized
substances called amino-acids and that
unless the right combination of these
is present the food is an incomplete
protein, and unsatisfactory as a body
builder, although it may be a useful
food from some other standpoint.

Sandman Story for the Children

The school bell had sounded and all
the children went to their different
cIassrooms and began their lessons In
the big city school where they were
students.
They had not been at their lessons
long when a great bell sounded
through the school.
It was different from the usual
school bell which brought them to
their lessons, and 1t filled them all
with fear.
The teachers looked frightened. too,
but they were all very. very quiet.
March out, slowly, in single file"
said the teacher Of each classroom.
They all knew how to do this too,
for they often had fire drill.
1t always made them little nervous
but they knew If they were quiet and
didn't get really frightened all would
be well.
There was only great danger when
people lost their heads, as the saying
goes.
It's wise saying, too-it means that
people act as though they hadn't any
heads with brains in them at all.
The bell had been fire bell and
every one knew it. Soon every one
of the many children were out in the
big courtyard and thence to the street.

Cabbage Slaw Makes
Delicious Salad

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
Cabbage slaw is one of the most
popular ways of serving cabbage in
place of a salad. 1t is, in fact,
salad, with boiled dressing instead
of a mayonnaise. The hot dressing is
poured over the finely shredded cab
bage so that it will have an oppor-
tunity to blend its flavor thoroughly
with the vegetable. This slaw can be
served hot or cold, according 70 the
bureau of home economics, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, but most people are accustomed
to it as "cold" slaw.
Select hard head of cabbage, cut
in quarters, and wash thoroughly in
cold water. Drain, shred, and set
aside in cold place until crisp. Pour
hot dressing over the crisp cabbage
and stir until well mixed. Serve hot or
Geld.
One cupful chopped celery, or one
half cupful Of finely shredded green
pepper, or one cupful of thinly sliced
tart apple may be added.
Dressing for Cabbage siaw.
: eggs u tsp. mustard
cup water n tsp. celery seed
cup vinegar tbs. butter or
tbs. sugar other fat
" tsp. salt
! Beat the eggs, add all the fngredi-
ents except the fat, and cook in a
double boiler until thickened. Stir
constantly and just before removing
from the fire add the fat. Pour over
the cabbage while hot. If served as
cold slaw, chill after the dressing is
added.
