Has Becoming Clothes

low or abnormally high. Different
types of sleeves and necklines are best
suited to women of different types-so
fashion has given us a very wide
choice in such matters.
Unusual simplicity marks the smart
est of the new clothes. Frills and
flounces, puffs and ruff1es are used with
very sparing hand. That is as it
should be because for the one woman
who looks her best in very ornate
clothes there are a dozen and more
who look very much better in clothes
of the simple sort
Then there has been a very definite
reaction against the use of cheaper, in
ferior materials and quickening of ap
probation of good quality. 1t is no
longer enough to have hats and
dresses, wraps, shoes, hand bags and
other accessories that look right to the
casual, not too eXacting observer. The
very simplicity of the present silhou-
cite demands that fabrics must be of
fine quality and the sparing hand with
which trimmings are applied demands,
too, that they must be of a really
worthwhile sort.

FASHION has exchanged old meas
uring sticks for new and has set
a new standard of perfection for wom-
en- who would appear well dressed. 1t
Is no longer enough to be merely smart
or rather the present idea of smart
ness IS quite different from that of
other seasons. It is not enough to
wear well made clothes conforming to
the accepted silhouette. You have not
settled the color question of your
wardrobe merely by selecting clothes OF
colors that are In good taste and up
to date. It Is not enough to choose
materials and trimmings that are
stamped with the seal Of approval Of
important dressmakers and designers.
Fashions latest decree Is that
clothes must be becoming to the women
who wear them. That in itself &C
counts for many of the general ten
denotes and details Of the present
mode Clothes are extremely simple,
because generally speaking simple
clothes are more becoming than those
that are elaborate Waistlines are
normal because normal waistlines are
far more flattering to the majority Of
women than waists that are abnormally

Plain and Figured
Are Used Together

WHITE cotton frocks have accom-
w panying jackets of figured cotton
and white linen frocks are similarly &C
companied. The figure material often
appears for collars and cuffs Of the
frock
And figured dresses for evening Of
chiffon have little coats of taffeta in
plain color-short coats that tie around
the waist, and have pulled, ballooning
sleeves.
Then there are sheer frocks Of fig
ured material-swiss, batiste, wolfe.
They are made with cuffs and collars
Of sheerest white organdie.
The contrast of plain and figure is
always effective.
Redingotes are made of plain, dark
coiors to wear over bright prints. And
often the print is used to face the
redingote revers. and sometimes for the
lining OF the whole coat.

Fly.Away Effects

FIRST there was the wind-blown
effect in hair cuts. and now there
is the new "fy-away" effect in mil
linery. It is used to designate the new
small, shallow-brimmed hats worn at
the side of the head with wispy look
ing ribbon trimming
These fly-away fashions and the
new swagger fashions in coats and
suits have come as a decided contrast
to the Economically feminine tendency
that was pushed for favor a year ago.

Shorter Skirts

THERE is a chance-just a chance
l. that skirts will become definitely
shorter. There has been talk already
about shorter dresses for evening
dresses of ankle or instep length for all
but the most formal occasions. Now for
informal restaurant wear an impor-
tant minority of well dressed women
are choosing dresses shorter than ankle
length. Calf length dresses they call
them. And at smart daytime gather
ings in Paris there are always two or
three notably well dressed women
French, English or American-whoa p-
pear in street dresses several inches
shorter than the prevailing length.

Everyday Psychology

Selection.

There is a mental process spoken Of
in the scientific circles Of psychology as
selection" This mental process is a
part of larger but no less familiar
process called attention. 1t is in fact
the most important factor in all that
goes for attention. Selection does the
work and attention gets the credit. At
least that's the way it is, so far as our
everyday descriptions can explain why
some things are interesting to US and
other things are monotonouS.
Of course, everybody has noticed that
no two people see the came things-for
example, when they gaze upon a given
landscape. Nor do they get the same
inspiration, or lack Of it, by listening to
the same opera or the same sermon.
We do not see the same thing while
witnessing the foot ball classic, nor 60
we catch the same details in scenario
production. There is an individual diff
ference here which we hcve all been
accustomed to regard as a mere matter
of temperament, perhaps temporary
mood or even deep-Seated personality
trait
The fact is a great deal of what we
hear and see amounts to series Of
illusions. We attend to what is going
on in a jumpy fashion. We set up OF
select some parts of the whole as i'm
portant Then we begin at once to fill
in the gaps with memories CT similar
events. In other words. our magma
ton fashions it all over into new forms.
We arrive at what we suppose to be a
connected experience. We never seem
to stop to consider how We build up cur
supposed experiences. Ordinarily We
take notice of the process called selec-
ton.

pleted, looks like an ear-drop and is
most exquisite. If he is the first child
of Spring. he soon energies from his
swaddling clothes a lovely butterfly. If
perchance he belongs to the last group,
he will hang here until next Spring.
You may find these dainty cases and
bring them indoors The butterfly
emerges when the warmth reaches her
and she will be happy in your home.
The little caterpillars will weave their
little cases before you, if provided with
a place from which to hang. Here you
may watch these wonderful creatures
and see the miracle happen before your
very eyes.

Using Milk in Family Menus
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.
tato soups and chowders, as use milk as

tato soups and chowders, as use milk as
chief ingredient.
There are some main-course dishes
that have a goodly proportion OF milk
in their concoction.. Creamed fish IS
conspicuous among the dishes. Cream
ed meats such as chicken, veal, lamb.
dried beef, etc, and creamed eggs, al!
come under this category. With the
exception of creamed dried beef, the
cut up and we'll seasoned fish or meat.
The beef can be so prepared, but 1t IS
frequently made by putting the slices
in hot milk and butter and allowing
them to become thoroughly heated in it.
Sometimes a few shavings Of onions are
Drowned in butter, the beef slices put
in, and lightly stirred until they curl,
and then the milk Is poured In the pan
and the whole allowed slowly to become
hot before serving as it is, or on toast.
There are numerous desserts in which
milk is featured and many OF these
come under the heading OF milk pud-
dings. The most familiar of these are
rice puddings, blanc manges, and corn
starch puddings. Bavarians are rich in
milk and cream. Custard is nothing but
milk and eggs with seasoning and fla
voring. The custard may be large
pudding, cup custards individual serv-
ings), a caramel custard in which the
sugar is caramelized as one of the in
gradients, or in which the simple Gus
tard has a caramel sauce poured over
it. Or the custard may be served as a
pie with a lower crust, and be with or
without cocoanut in 1t.
Another simple and favorite dessert Is
baked Indian pudding with milk, or
cream, whipped cream, or ice cream on
on it. This is one of the puddings OF
which 1t can be said:
Some like it hot,
Some like it cold
This saying is also true OF plain r1ce
pudding, the creamy sort made with
out eggs Allow two tablespoonfuls OF
rice to a quart of milk. Put in pud-
ding dish and allow to get slowly heated
in the oven, stirring frequently. Then
add one-half teaspoonful salt. three
tablespconfuls of sugar, few well
washed raisins and one teaspoonful va
nilla. Cook very slowly until creamy.
The secret is in the cooking: if not done
enough the pudding will be milky. II
done too much it will be too solid, II
done Just right it will have rich
creamy color and texture.

Does It Cost Much i?

You neighbor and fellow reader,
Mrs. Harriet B., protests that "it costs
money to enjoy life, and lack of money
dooms a mortal to life of unsatisfy-
ing compromises" Do you agree with
that point of view? Or do you allow
that money is rather limited in the
enjoyments of life, which it can pro-
vide, and that the woman who learns
to be independent of money enjoys
life most?
Money may buy you an art col
lection, but there are free art collec-
tions which one may view whenever
one wishes to. These public galleries
are greater than any private ones. To
enjoy them one only requires pair
of eyes. Think of the bother and
expense of selecting, hanging, storing
and safeguarding one misses!

en- unable to buy them may enjoy
