16 WOMAN’S PAGE. A.GIRDLE OF THE ANCIENTS. BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. Parls, Sept. 24, 1921. Take your belt away from any ap- proach to the normal watst line and regard the lower edge of the hips as the waist line. Then you will do as France does. By just this twist do the designers make most of the spring clothes use- less for autumn and compel us to dip deep into our purses. Some belts are of metal, although these are few and promise to be run into commonplaceness, leaving the great girdle, lavishly and sumputous- 1y sewn with beads and crystals, ‘with bits of gold or silver, with edges of costly fur, with shells and mother- of-pearl, with seed pearls on velvet, as the thing which the fastidious desire. The narrow metal belt is sold over here by the hundreds as it is in America, but the dressmakers have gotten ahead of the shops by devis- ing these girdles that are reminis- cent of Italy in its glory, of the epoch of the great Duchess of Milan. Whatever the girdle, it is placed Just where it will cut the figure into iwo even parts. The long skirt de- manded an adjustment of the waist line, say the designers, and they felt that women would not accept the former unless something was done to make it graceful. True, there are frocks with instep skirts.and waist- lines under the bust, but these are for tke indlvidual, not for the masses. Callot, Molyneux, Poiret, Lanvin con- tribute their genius to the tight little bodice of Eugenlc, with hoopskirts that balance and swing exactly as did those of our sainted grandmothers, but they realize that women of fash- ion will wear these clothes for oc- casions, not for the daily hours, and that their real mission is to empha- size the incoming of the gathered! skirt. The sketch shows the new waist line, developed by Renee in a Rus- sian blouse frock characteristic of her autumn showing. It is of xray' crepe de chine trimmed with narrove folds of the material. The wide satin | girdle is trimmed with squirrel, which lines the cape of gray cloth. These belts have come about from @ GOWN BY RENEE OF GRAY CREPE DE CHINE TRIMMED WITH NAR- ROW FOLDS OF THE MATERIAL.

It is well to realize that the reason behind all the new fashions is the ac- ceptance of the uncorseted figure. Qur predecessors, you remember, thought that the straight front cor- set would not be accepted, so they in good South Sea Island, fashion—but when she consents to! put something of a stay beneath the| frock it is an elastic belt with few ! bones.

Several brides have written me late- 1y for help in furnishing two rooms for light housekeeping; and two en- gaged girls have asked me how to furnish only one room for this pur- pose. ‘When one must do light housekeep- ing in only one room, one must get dinners out, but breakfast and sup- per (or lunch) may easily be pre- pared in the same room in which one sleeps because they do not require the use of an oven. 1 ‘When there are two rooms to live in, however, one may get all three meals at home without sordidity. One room can be used as the sleeping chamber and the other as kitchen, dining room and living room. 1 will first describe a good way to furnish one room in which one must get breakfast and either lunch or supper (but no dinners) as well as sleep; A large linoleum rug on floor. ‘White curtains at window with pretty cretonne valances over them. Nar- row “divan” couches (iron cot-beds) covered with burlap and bhaving sev- eral sofa pillows on each (the bed will be made up under these covers and the bed pillows will be in re- moval burlap slipcovers on top of couch). Large chest of drawers with- out mirror. Framed separate mirror hanging over the chest of drlweral like a picture (this does away with idea. If two candle- “bureau” sticks are stood on the chest of drawers, and there are no pin-trays or other reminders of a conventional bureau, there will be no suggestion the of a bedroom). Two large comfort- able rockers covered with cretonne slip-covers. Two foot stools, A small desk and straight-backed chair. A center table large enough to serve as a dining room table at meal time. Another_ straight-backed chair. A Bcreen, behind which is concealed an ofl-cloth-covered small table; on this tablé stands a tin tray, and on the tray an electric “hot plate” stove. It is ideal to have a floor plug for this stove, but a light fixture will serve the purpose just as well. During the period of cooking the screen must be stood between stove and wall to pro- tect wall paper, but at other times it_conceals the cooking apparatus. Under this cooking table stands a small flat “milk pan” in which the dishes will be washed. A large drop- light on the center table completes the room. When two rooms are at one's dis- posal, one can have one room fur- nished like any bedroom and the other furnished as follows: Center table (to eat on at meal time) with drop-light. Two large rockers, two straight chairs, screen behind which stands a kitchen table covered with ainc; on this table Is a two-burner gas or oil stove (a portable oven or a steamer may be stood on the stove when desired). A fireless cooker will make the work easier. A desk and a side table complete the furnishings. Slim-Looking Ankles. Slender ankles are so much sought after that beauty shops in London and Paris actually have machines for mak- ing the ankles slender. It is done by some sort of baking process which 1nelts the superfluous fat from the ankle, but it doesn’t Sound the least bit comfortable. The ankles usually will grow slender as the body grows slender, though this is not an invari- able rule. The continuous wearing of high heels will quite often make the ankles thick by putting a strain on certain little muscles along the sides and lower part of the leg. Moderately Jow heels are always the best choice. High shoes will sometimés wear nw-yl a deposit of fat around the ankles, but, on the other hand, they have so many disadvantages that they should never be worn when a low oxford can be worn instead. Thanks to the re- cent fashion for wool hose, oxfords can now be worn far into the winter months. Silk stockings will make the ankles look slim because the weave of the silk shadows the outline of the ankle and makes it appear much more slen- | der. Black stockings will make the me as they do for any simple occasion. The severely tallormade woman, who feigns mannishness in her attire, is not a pleasant thing to see for hours at a time. The main thing, 18 to glve good service, and if curls ‘are becoming, and you are not conspicuous for having them, by all means wear them. - 3 Chocolate Dessert; ' Everybody likes chocolate. That is, almost everybody. And most every- body can eat it, at least as a flavor- ing of desserts. Even if it is not digestible as milk chocolate or in the form of chocolate candies, it is digestible usually in the form of a chocolate custard or blanc mange. And you can use a very small amount of it in this way and still get delicious re- sults. Here are some especially good ways of using it in the form of desserts: Cholocate Pudding.—Mix a third of a cup of cornstarch with half a cup of cold milk and pour over it thrge and a half cups of hot milk to which have been added half a cup of sugar melted in a double boller with two squares of chocolate.
