1olH CENTURY OIL IL Is Il frequent lLen
in household accounts, but not till
Mrs. Clements day did it become
part of kitchen economy. She busted
herself with grinding wild mustard
seed in mill, sifted the seed from the
husks, and turned out a product that
was to be long famed as Durham
mustard.
A figure to command respect is this
18th century EnglisnWoman who went
into business on a big scale at a
time when women we're little better
than chattels. Shrewd enough to
keep her method secret, she travelled
to and from London, and came back
with sheafs of orders.
OF course, in due time competitors
copied the pure mustard -four which
Mrs. Clements was making from the
sifted seeds of the plant, and one
manufacturer decided that a more
pungent flavor could be obtained by
the addition Of other ingredients
various farinas, for instance, and tur-
meric.
The plants from which ground
mustard is made fall into two classes
the white, or yellow, and the brown
or black. They can be cultivated al
most anywhere and grow with such
rapidity as to be sometimes consid-
cred a veXatious weed.
For a salad constituent the plant
is not commonly used in the United
States, but in England mustard and
cress is popular combination of pep
pery-tasting greens.
IKE other members of the condi-
ment tribe, mustard has a history
that long ago antedates its manufac-
ture for table use by enterprising Mrs.
Clements in 1920
The plants phenomenal powers of
growth have earned it a place in sac
red history. The Kingdom of Heaven
is like to grain of mustard seed which
man took and soWed in his field ..
which indeed is the least of all seeds,
but when it is grown tits the greatest
among herbs" So Christ told his hear
ers 1900 years ago, and again, IF We
have faith as a grain of mustard seed
ye shall say unto this mountain re-
move hence to yonder place and it
shall remove and nothing shall be i'm
possible unto you
Long before Christ's time the reme-
dial properties of mustard had come in
for mention in the works of men like
Theophrastus, Dioscorides and Pliny.
1t was variously recommended as
remedy against the bites of scorpions.
in the composition of love potions."
and for cough cure. This latter was
made by boiling the coarsely powdered
seed with dried figs in strong ale.
The modern phase of mustard's de-
velopment may be said to date from
around the year 800 when it formed
regular part of the revenue of the
Abbey of ST. German des Pres near
Paris. In 8l2 Charlemagne issued a
decree directing its cultivation. 1t
was grown by the Arabians in Spain
whence 1t spread to Germany and
France, and by the twelfth century it
had reached England. From then on
it is found in frequent use. but it was
left to ingenious Mrs. Clements to
originate and popularize table mus

black or beige. If you are working out
a beige or Parisand ensemble, the
shoes and bag should preferably be
darker, unless the dress is a print,
when the color may more nearly match
the predominating color. The hat
may be either in the same color or
lighter burnt straw with a contrasting
trim. Introduce more color when the
dress or suit is of plain material and
with print keep the hat in plain
tones.
If the gloves you like do not exactly
match your bag, don't get them, but
get something definitely different.
Much lighter or much darker is inf
nitely better than a poor matching of

THE blue outfit, with accessories of
Parisand and copper tones is very
good If it is a dressmaker suit, the
hat may be sailor of burnt or nat
ural color, with trimming of blue gros-
grain ribbon, small wings or flowers;
bag and shoes of copper tone; gloves

which simplif1es matters greatly. For
the budgeteer it might be said that
the tan accessories will harmonize
with more colors and be serviceable
for a much longer time than blue
ones.

The Routine

Facia1s
Learn to Apply All
Creams to Derive
Most Benefit.
By ELSIE PIERCE.

THE other day we discussed the
structure of the skin. and from
this semi-technical bit of information
it must be obvious that any abnormal
ity in the functioning of any one of
the skins so-called layers must be
understood or at least recognized be-
fore corrective treatment can be at
tempted.
Too many women do not know bow
to recognize their particular type of
skin condition And even those who
do, often fail to select the group of
preparations best suited to their needs.
Carrying it point farther even fewer
women know how to use the prepara-
tionS correctly so as to derive the
maximum benefit from their beauty
routine.
The mere use of cosmetic prepara-
tions is not enough for sound, in
telligent beauty routine. The ideal
set-up calls for three things: First,
know your skin: second. know the
preparations it needs. and third, know
precisely how they should be applied
for best results.
These three essentials are included
in a program being followed in some
Of the leading beauty salons through
out the country. The plan offers three
things: First-a lovely, luxurious

with it comes a lesson on the exact
routine to follow at home. That
done, you are ready for the facial
izer kit itself containing the very
preparations used in the facial
preparations individualized for the
dry or oily type of skin. The prepara-
tions in the kit are said to be suf-
ficent for "a home facials. To cap it
all there's box of powder blended
to the individual coloring. Facial, in
struction, kit . perfect three
in-one ensemble.
The kit is rubberized, a genuine
fitted bag which means it's a per-
feet travelling companion and quite the
thing for the beach in summer. It
offers real value plus beauty educa-
ton and eliminates lot of guesswork
and grief.

rs THERE anything in the world
more becoming to slim young
things in the II to 10 size range
4 than the suspender dress? And
right now this charming style is
riding on a crest of new popularity.
This pattern is just grown-up enough
to please a young miss, and yet just
as youthful as her mother wants her
to look. It's just as smart as it can
be. and so easy to make that it offers
a fine chance TO" the Juniors to do
little sewing on their own. A COM
plete and detailed sew chart accom-
panies the pattern and makes every
thing easy.
Note, especially, the corselette, ef-
feet at the waistline, that narrows
into belt in the back.
Make up this pattern with a print
frock and plain blouse as pictured,
or with plain frock and print blouse.
It is charming in a wide choice of
fabrics-silk crepe for blouse and
jumper both, linen or pique jumper
with organdy or dotted Swiss blouse,
shantung jumper with blouse Of
handkerchief linen or dimity.

eXasperating.
Odd colors are hard to match, but it
Is a relief to know that this season
colors do not have to be all the same
In one costume; contrasts are much
favored and as many as three colors
may enjoy each others company in
the same ensemble without creating
undue excitement or any unpleasant
feeling. This is particularly true of
sportsWear
Although we are led to believe that
shoes and bags are easily ensembled
we have found it difficult to do, in
many instances. Take, for instance,
the spring tans. They range from
very light, almost blond called Ital-
ian tan, through the natural calf, the
Parlsand or copper tones, to the still
redder Strawberries, with a sprinkline
OF dark brown. When you go to the
bag counters they are literally heaped
with these various tans. but even so it
is not easy to find the bag you want
to go with the shoes that you have. In
some shoe shops it is possible to match
things perfectly. because the bags are
made in the same factories and from
the same feathers as the Shoes but on
the other hand, shoe designer is not
always the best bag designer. He is
apt to think more about the outward
appearance than the inward conven-
fence.
X X
50 FAR we realize that we have not
been of much help in solving any
Of the difficulties. We might begin by
saying that the woman who chooses
black accessories has the easiest Job
OF any, and this season she will select
black patent leather for dress and calf
skin for service. When the shoes are
sandal type with plenty of breathing
spaces and perforated as well. they are
not as uncomfortably hot as black
patent leather sounds.
This kind of shoe is well adapted
to the black sheer or the black and
white print or the colored print with
black background. Matching hand
bags in perforated or plain black pat
ent are not hard to find. Gloves in this
case might be white doeskin or they
might repeat the color of the hat or
dress trimming. Or again hat. bag
and gloves might all be in a pastel
color to give more life to the ensemble.
In fact. such group of accessories
makes an excellent change with the
black basic dress from its usual black
and white. The same colored accesso-
fles can be used later with an all-white
summer outfit.

WOMEN'S prize worry is over their

When other worries fail, a woman

Women were born that way. Besides,
they enjoy it. Women never consider
