TT SEEMS that fashion Is delivering
L q series Of "chalk talks" this sea-
son. At any rate, the very newest
laces and fabrics are carrying over the
message that to be "chalky" is to be
chic. This luster-lack vogue Is the
latest sensation In realms of fashion.
Smart laces especially feature these
fascinating unfinished effects. The
name Of this very new and beautiful
type of chalky-surfaced lace is as in
triguing as the lace itself. When you
go Notwithstanding just mention peau
DANCE (Angel skin) to the madam or
salesperson who awaits your pleasure,
for such is the title some genius of
fashion. gifted with imagination, has
bestowed upon laces Of this character.
Forthwith you will be shown an array
Of laces such as your eye ne'er gazed
upon until this season-free from gar
ish luster, chaiklike and soft and alto
gether lovely.
Much of the charm of these chalky.
surfaced laces rests in their delectable
colorings which run the range of en-
chanting pastels as well as including
the now-so-fashionabl off-whites, also
the new chalk white which is the last
word. Be they ever so simple in their
styling. gowns made of these beguiling
lusterless laces are convincingly high
class and up-to-date looking.
The exquisite gowns pictured are
winsome opponents of the present
vogue for mellowed chalky surfaces
and colorings. They bear that unmis-
taxable this-season's air about them
which is so much to be coveted. Their
backgrounds, comparing the two
gowns, are their distinguishing feature.
In each instance their floral pattern
ings are in that dull finish which seems
as If done in chalk on sheer grounds.

T. The evening train for the south was

BOILING FIELD ON
AIR FREIGHT LINE
First Military Service Opened
| With Prospects Of Large
| U. S. Saving.

Boiling Field is one of three East
trn Army posts served by the first
military air freight line, which has just
been established permanently after
nearly two months of trials.
The Army "delivery-by-ai service
has been established by the Army Air
Depot at Middletown, Pa, to serve
Boiling Field, Langley Field, Va, and
Mitchell Field, Long Island. handling
shipments of supplies which can be
handled by airplane.
The service, tests have revealed
makes possible savings in Transports
tion funds, material savings in time OF
delivery, eliminates expense and labor
in packing and Grating of supplies
trains personnel in handling supplies
by transport plane, increases the eff
cheney of pilots in flying fully loaded
transports, affords pilots more cross
country experience and, In general, pro-
notes greater efficiency in the operation
of the depot and station supply organi-
cations.
Loading Crews Detailed.
Boiling Field and the other two points
served each has detailed a crew to
load and unload the transport, single
motored Army Fokker of the YlC-l4
type being used for the service. Though
the ordinary maximum load on a
single shipment is 1900 pounds, as
much as / 400 pounds can be shipped
In case of emergency.
Middletown is the repair base for the
three fields served by the freight
service and overhauling of motors is
done there for the three posts. Many
of these motors are shipped aboard
the transport plane. The station
supply officers at Boiling, Langley and
Mitchell have been instructed to always
have load of supplies or a repair, Aile
engine available for shipment on Tne
return trip of the transport SO that
the ship may always be loaded.
"All the stations are enthusiastic
over the success of this transport
service" it has been announced at the
Office of the chief of the Army Air
Corps, "and desire its continuance and
enlargement. Parcel post and express
shipments tos the three stations have
been practically ended. An assured
weekly delivery almost entirely elimi-
mated emergency requisitions and
should obviate the necessity of volumi-
nous quarterly acquisitions"
Traffic During February.
During February a total of Is round
trips were flown and 1922 pounds OF
supplies carried to the stations On
the return trips total of 10,374 pounds
were flown. Boiling Field received
1921 pounds and sent back 1920 pounds
during the month. The total estimated
savings for the month were s1,543.
Aside from the regular trips to the
three fields, extra flights were made;
one to Burgess Field, Uniontown Pa,
with an engine replacement for plane
which had been forced down; one to
Waynesboro, Va, with motor for a
stranded plane, and the third to Bur-
CESS. Fourteen engines Of all types
were delivered to the depot by aerial
freight for overhaul.
Maj. j. H. Houghton, commanding
officer of the Middletown Air Depot
has informed Air Corps headquarters
that it is entirely practicable for a
depot to serve its area by air, providing
the proper type transports are available.

Attractive garnishing and ap- propriate serving are economical measures well worth careful con- sideration. Simple, everyday dishes gain new interest and the little extra time invested in dress ing up the daily meals will yield ample returns in pleasure and profit.
 One of the simplest methods of improving the appearance of the ordinary meat and potatoes and-vegetable meal is to arrange the potatoes or starchy food in the form of a border with the meat in the center and the other vege- tables as a "garnish" on the out side. Plain, homely fare presents an attractive and festive appear ance when served in this fashion.
 Mashed potatoes. Irish or sweet. mashed squash and well-cooked rice can be used as border with excellent effect.
 Greens also present a more In. viting appearance when served either In a nodded form or in the form of n border. This method or serving is attractive for cabbage or sauerkraut.
