Not so. Dozens of frocks built of this material are | offered. In France, serse vies with crepe de chine and taffeta for popularity. It really h s a variety of names; it can be called twill, gabardine or anything else that the manufacturing baptismal font has given it, but the hoi-pollol just go on calling it serge. ~That's what they understand. That's what they ask for when they go forth to buy. It is of interest that serge appears in navy blue as of old. It does not| change its weave or its color to gain | appreciation. It rests securely and | serenely on its past. The new (rocksg of it are not somber, however, as they | do not leave the fabric to work out! its own salvation. The dangerous caprice of the season for placing pat-| terns over most surfaces has spread | to the making of dark blue serge gowns and suits, but at its worst it is better than the stuffed red roses, yellow leaves and immense jet flowers that have been companions to these | gowns in the immediate past. The new fashion for Bayadere strip- ing, for the semblance of Roman rib- bon, for sunbursts of soutache, works itself on serge without destroying the effect of.a good gown, but the exclu- sive trick of placing pieces of soft white fabric as accessories to the deep blue cloth is better than other is inclined to harshness. . comes its admirable wearing qualities therefofe the application of supple fabrics to its surface softens it e a veil to a rough complexion.

BY MRS, ELIZABETH KENT. Bananas. Bananas, containing a high propor- tlon of starch and some oil, are far more nutritious than other fruits and should be used with this fact in mind, In the places where they are native they form, with plantains, from which they differ little, the staple article of food, like potatoes or rice in other countries. A banana with whole milk and two good slices of bread and butter con- stitute a meal for a child from six to nine years old. It contains a hundred calories, two cups of whole milk, three hundred and fifty, and the bread and Such a , another Lwo hundred. child needs from fouptcen hundred to butter, two thousand calorie§ a day, about six hundred a meal. £ Bananas should not be given to chil- dren under five, for they ~cannot easily digest the starch, and for chil- dren of delicate digestion the fibrous ing inside the skin should be and only the soft pulp 1s should not be given als, as oranges or apples should, but as a considered and con- siderable part of the day's food ration. There are many ways of using ba- nanas at meals, and nearly every one, adjusted to the fisure and held in at the normal waist line by a broad sash; these are matters of importance, you know, in these weather-vane days. The white applications are duvetyne; in other frocks they are thick velvet. The surface of these pieces is covered by a fine soutaching in dark blue braid. | The belt of deep blue velvet is caught with a flat rose holding a smattering jof the embroidery. Mark the sleeves, for they, too, are ! important. They are long, of course that feature ceases to cause surprise but they give to the amateur an excel lent idea how to rebuild those uni- versal Spanish sleeves into something less awkward, fitting better into the picture of the hour. In the late autumn certain women who strenuously objected to the ugly line above the wrist made by the instant improvement in the improvised lower sleeve of satin, chiffon or other soft fabric, provided it was wrinkled, Joose on the forearm and tightened at the wrist. The idea has now become a fashion. One is not urged to accept the knife- pleated or box-pleated skirt, for both fashions are too universal to be agree- able to the woman who does not wish to look factory-made. The youthful figure always carries such a skirt with defiance of age or flesh, but when thickness sets in at the waist or the This is the season when there are always many complaints about red noses. That's because the weather is colder, of course. But the real causes of red nose are many. The most common is digestive disorders; after that, poor circulation. A doctor gives the following as what he calls “Local Causes”: Diseases of the mucous membrane of the nose or in its vicinity, inflam- mation, adenoid growths, maladies of the skin of the nose, such as acne, erytbema, etc. General causes he classes as bad digestion and trouble with the cir- culation. The latter is due to heart disease, lung trouble, aenemia, cold feet, corsets or tight garters or cloth- ing; the former to abuse of food, Muffins in the Supper Menu. There are many housekeepers who mever think of making muffins except for breakfast, but the family enjoys them just as much for supper. The following #upper menus will be found most acceptable to a hungry family on a cold night: Ham-stuffed Potatoes One-egg Whole Wheat Muffins Tea Btewed Prunes Whole Wheat Muffins—i cup sugar, 1 egg yolk unbeaten, 1 cup sweet milk, % cup white flour, 2 tea- spoons baking powder, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 2 tablespoons melted but- ter and 1 st beaten egg-white. Put sugar, egg-yolk and milk together in a medium-sized bowl and beat well, Then add the half-cup of white flour mixed and _sifted with the baking powder, and them the cup of whole wheat flour; again mix well and then add the melted butter and, last, the white of egg. Fill muffin rings three- quarters full and bake in a hot oven for about twenty-five minutes. This recipe makes eight large muffins.

Sometimes, . too, redness is caused because of a stoppage in the veins supplying blood; sometimes the blood, too thick from poor digestion or other troubles, congeals partially in the nose. I believe the ciroulation is more sluggish in this part of the body than in any other part. In any case, be sure that your health is good or that you are taking means to improve it. Then give your- self stimulating treatments, tapping the nose all over with the fingers to stir the blood, holding hot cloths wrung from hot water over it, then bathing it with cold water and using on it any astringent—ice, tincture of benzoin solution, or even tollet water or vinegar. level teasprint eale, 2 teaspoens baking powder, 1 cup sweet milk, 1 cup cold cooked rice, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon butter. Mix and sift the dry ingredients together. Beat the egg till light, then add it to the rice and milk. Now add the flour to this mixture, beat all welL Bake in a hot buttered muffin rings.

Cold Meat Loaf Hominy Muffins Preserves ny Muffins — 2 cups ocooked hominy, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 cup corn meal or two-thirds sugar cup white flour as preferred, 2 cups sweet milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 egg. Cream together the butter and sugar, then add the beaten egg-yolk, the malt, the corn meal and baking pow- der sifted together, and then the milk. Fold in the egg-white, stiffly beaten, and turn into buttered muffin rings, filling each *“well” about two-thirds full. Bake in a hot oven for about 256_minutes. The Ham-stuffed Potatoes called for in the first menu’are delicious. They are made by baking large white po- tatoes, scooping out the interior when done, mixing seasonings, butter and ly minced ham with it, and re- stuffing the two half-skins of each potato with it.

For banana pie take a half dozen bananas, one eighth of a cup of powdered sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a cup and a half of whipped cream. Bake a single crust of pastry: fll it with the sliced bananas, add salt and sugar and cover Wwith whipped cream. A pretty way to serve bananas is to slice them lengthwise and serve them in their skins, either with powdered sugar, as dessert, or with salt or mayonnaise dressing, as a salad. Salt really brings out the flavor of bananas better than sugar. Halved English { walnuts served on bananas sliced lengthwise make a rich salad, equal in nutrition to meat. (Copyright, 1921.) Oatmeal Savory Pudding. Mix two ounces of fine oatmeal in one-fourth pint of milk, add to it one pint of boiling milk, and stir the whole over the fire for ten minutes; then put in two ounces of sifted bread crumbs. Take the mixture from the fire and add one ounce of butter, an onion minced fine, two eggs_and onme teaspoonful of mixed powdered marjoram and sage.
