Becoming Houz~ G>n<

1T is the privilege of doting rela-
. tives and close feminine friends
the bride-to-be to give her as a
Wedding gift something lovely
and personal which will enhance
her charm and give her much use
and happiness,
Wearing apparel of a luxurious
nature is a particularly suitable
choice. No matter how compre-
hensive her trousseau may be, adj
ditions are extremely welcome
from intimate friends and rela-
tives.
The present vogue for house
coats and negligees of a utilitar-
ian nature suggests a highly sat
isfactory kind of gift which any
bride in the world would accept
with the greatest pleasure.
The housecoat has developed
such fashion interest that now it
has become a necessity in the
wardrobe of every Well-dressed
woman. 1t has all the comfort
and trailing charm of a negligee
vet it is sufficiently practical to
be worn for any informal occa-
sion at home.
While most housecoats have a
tailored chic, with much of the
interest centered in the materials
of which they are fashioned, some
achieve an almost formal ele-
gance. Pictured here is a gown,
half negligee and half housecoat
(which, with its full trailing skirt
Id beautifully treated sleeves
and neckline would be worn with
great success when entertaining
guests informally at home. The
dark silken material is practical,
yet highly feminine and the gown
is so fashioned that it would
bring out the greatest charm and
beauty in the wearer.
There are housecoats of stiff
brocaded silks and others of a
decidedly romantic nature made
of dark colored velvets with long
flowing lines and note of color
introduced in the belt for accent.
Princess lines are most in vogue
for housecoats of this formal
type, and nothing is more flatter-
ing to youthful figures than the
unbroken elegance of the princess
style of gown.
OF a more practical nature, but
still highly flattering, are the cot

grown under the most rigid in
spection; grown perhaps a thou
sand miles from Pittsburgh, but
under the eagle eye of company
inspectors. Beans must be up to
standard, cucumbers for pickles
are grown for size and flavor, to-
matoes picked from pedigreed
vines, and then, not leaving any,
thing to chance, every product
must pass test in the vast
laboratory before being prepared
for food. Later as the various
patches go to the automatic fill
ers, additional samples are sent
to the laboratory.
1t is interesting to learn that
while these tests of course insure
positive purity, they are regarded
as being equally important in the
unceasing battle of the company
to maintain a uniformity of

Machines That Manufacture
Noodles And Spaghetti
In Huge Quantities
BY Dorothy Blair

I Asst SUMMER, just as the heat wave
l., started I went to Pittsburgh, city of steel,
coal, and canning. San Francisco to Pitts
burgh that's nearly across the continent, so
you may guess that the visit was of impor-
lance, especially as flew and was in a state
of intense anticipation from airport to airport

economies is anxious to learn.

matically sealed, wrapped, and placed in car
tons for immediate shipment without so
much as finger to guide them.
Canned foods are so much a part of our
lives that none of us give pause to consider
the tremendous industry behind every bright
labeled container sent home from the
focers.
In the great Pittsburgh factory it was nv

exclusively devoted to the preparation of an

parent institution of seven others
scattered throughout the world,
has had a far greater influence
in the lives of all of us than we
realize. By producing fine foods,
under the most hygienic condi
lions possible, such an industry
has released millions of women
from untold hours of arduous
food preparation, and provided
them with eatables that are of
superior quality.
We at home have no magic
eye" for baking beans, nor can
we dictate how long the tomatoes
we use in a sauce must stay on
the vines before they are avail
able for our use. How can we
possibly select only the choicest
wheat for our noodles or spa
ghetti, or know the condition of
the pigs before they were slaugh-
tered for rich slabs of meat. But
this great company does all that,
and much, much more, so next
