One must not forget, though, that there are many occasions which call for evening frocks, and the shops are showing a special range of models for the post-season dances. A particularly quaint and charming one is sketched. The material used for its development is lustrous dou- ble-faced satin in a shade of deep pink The bodice is composed ofy panels corded together so that it fits, smoothly. The center front panel is shirred and the side panels are at- tached to the straight center back one with a few gathe The shoul- der straps are of flesh-colored tulle and a narrow ruching of accordion- 1 SUMMER EVENING GOWN OF PINK | ATIN, TULLE TRIMMED. pleated tulle edges the bodice top and extends at the sides into bands which circle the arms. A narrow wreath of ribbon rosebuds defines the center of the pleating. The full gathered skirt falls over a straight satin foundation. Both are finished with cording and are cut in two exaggerated scallops, causing them to hang shorter at the sides. A band of tulle ruching, rose- bud-trimmed, is also used to circle the overskirt. Another lovely evening frock is of pale nile green satin ‘and tulle. The satin bodice is cut so that it in- cludes the broad shoulder straps, and the foundation satin skirt is quite plain and narrow.

Would I build asylums, bridges, gar- dens, nurseries and peace tables? Yep, o' course I would. Any one would do those things. But I'd do more—some- thing with imagination in it—some- thing that would lift men's souls free of the shackles as all the peace tables in the world couldn’t do. Kdison and Caesar, Columbus and Burbank would have nothing on me when it came to working wonders. With just one lil' decree I'd so revolutionize society that men would arise and call me blessed and Congress would issue a one-cent stamp in my honor. And what would that decree be?

A large, deep red rose banked in delicate green maidenhair ferns gives an effective touch of trimming where it is Jaid carclessly across the bodice. An afternoon frock is of navy blue and white organdy. The navy blue is used in redingote fashion, and opens down the front to show the white foundation, which has the ef- fect of a panel. Narrow strips of navy organdy are appliqued across the white, and the collar and cuffs of the redingote are also of white organdy striped with navy. The red- ingote Sleeves are short and set-in, and the material on each side of the front opening is rolled back in tux- edo-collar fashion. Loops of navy organdy appear in either side of the redingote kirt and give a distinctive note of style. Narrow white picot- edged ribbon is used for a girdle and ties in a large bow at the front. of Another organdy frock is Beautify s Complexion > INTEN DAYS Nadinola CREAM treme cases. pores and tissues of impurities. ves ‘he skin clear, soft, healthy.

C, THURSDAY, MAY 5, 1921 HOME ECONOMICS. BY MRS. ELIZABETH KENT. Adulteration of Linen. Linen, can be adulterated, just as cotton can, by sizing, as many a housekeeper has found to her dismay. in first washing of table linen for which she has paid a good linen price. Sizing can be detected, usually, if the cloth is held up to a strong light, or if it is rubbed briskly between {fingers. Linen is also adulterated by the addition ,of cotton fiber to the linen, or by the substitution of cot- ton for linen. The luster of linen can be closely imitated on cotton by rolling it hot rollers. A drop of oil or even water. will often between reveal this adulteration. The oil or water makes the linen much more transparent than the cotton. Another simple test is to break the threads: linen breaks with an uneven. pointed end. cotton with a tufted, fuzzy end. Linen burns quickly with a flame, very like cotton, so that burning is not a good test between them. i A chemical test for cotton in linen NAVY TAK an be made by placing a fringed OF BRIDAL ample of the cloth in a porcelain Mrs. Harding hlue over a foundation of light tan. and heating it gently in cent solution of c: for two minute is removed with a gla rod dried between blotting papers, linen threads will be a dark ye while the cotton remains white or light yellow. Here, as in so many cases of cloth manufacture, it js not the combina- tion of linen with cotton that is wrong; it produces sometim very, useful material cheaper than linen. The wrong lies in the sale of such combinations as pure linen at pure linen prices for pure linen purposes. (Copyriglt, ) Apricot Cream.

A Kirkman Window gardeners form themselves that their house plants should be re- | and those who | believe this important task should be performed in the fall. I belong to the first-named class. When summer’'s warmth has come to stay, it is time to carry the house| plants to a shady place out of doors and put them into new, sometin larger, pots. It seems better to pla the plants in the new soil just before the growing season rather than at its close—in this way giving them the summer months in which to recover from the repotting, rather than doing s work just when the plants must face the trying conditions of the win- ter. The proper way to logsen a plant from it8 pot is to kmeeR the side of the pot aga something s0_as to loosen the “bole” (the roots with the earth surrounding them) from the in- side of the pot. Never dig into the s0il about the roots before taking off the pot. nor try to cut the bole out of the pot by running a knife around the edge of the pot inside; such meth- ods are apt to injure the roots of a plant. What kind_of soil shall we use in the new pot? Almost every gardener has his own “perfect” formula for @ mixed potting soil. Grandmother went out into the pasture, removed a Canapes of Asparagus. Take some lices of bread about two inches thick and stamp them out into neat rounds with a uit cutter. With a smaller cutter mark a circle in the center of each round and scoop out the crumbs to the depth of an inch, taking care to leave the sides and bottom quite firm. Arrange these in a shallow dish and pour over |h4-m] half a pint of milk, to which a beaten exg has been added. Then take them | up _carefully and slip into a kettle of | boiling fat. They will brown almost immediately and must be removed when they are a pale golden brown. Drain them on soft paper, cut the ten- der part of some asparagus into pieces of an equal size, rejecting that which is woody. Wash and simmer in salted water until tender; drain. Put a heaping tablespoonful of butter into a gaucepan with a tablespoonful of flour, then add a quarter of a pint of water in which the asparagus was cooked. Let it come to a boil, add the asparagus. the juice of a lemon and a teaspoonful of finely chopped ! parsley. Fill the canapes with this. arrange them on a platter and gar- nish with parsley and sliced lemon. Scalloped Apples. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter and stir it in two cups of soft bread crumbs. Mix one-half cup of sugar and the juice of one-half lemon with one-fourth cup of water. Put bread crumbs in the bottom of the buttered baking dish, then put in a cup and a half of chopped apples. sprinkle with one-half the sugar water and lemon juice, add some more crumbs, the rest of the apples, the rest of the sugar water and juice and then put : piece of sod, and us Repotting the House Plants. | PSee of fog 2nf Wit not get such soil as th into two classes—those who belleve‘from a garden little san getting which not there is no wind, tenough. pot up to its rim in th broken piece the hole to exclude angel worm the remainder of the crumbs on the top.
