DARK BLUE FOR No one who keeps a sharpened vyeather eve on the movements of fashion failed to see the tendency to- ward dark blue for wear under the electric light as soop as winter gayety %égan. This movement was all the more remarkable because the color ¥ad given way to beige and gray and black for the things we wear in the day. The reason for the-incoming of the sunshine shade into the night lights was the slight weariness shown by the dressmakers toward all black costumes. . The blue that is chosen is not ex- actly the shade known as marine. It 48 sapphire. which indicates that it Mag more warmth and sparkle than @uy other kind of decp blue. There are- admirable glimpses in it of zayety. Soberness, such as one wants or rather accepts, in street colors is definitely lacking. The dyers have done their job well They have got into blue velvet pgcially the depth of tone they ha Jut info ruby velvet, which 1s by w ©of beinz one of the most selective ors of the hour. +-Fhe dressmakers bezan to show their predilection for dark blues in formal evening gowns as soon as the intense hot weather setrid last sum- mer wWhich marked the time for the opening guns in the fashion battle. The fabrics they chose were velvet, satifl, a fine georgette crepe, with the decided preference given, to velvet. Not only were these materials built | into low frocks for brilliant occasions, but into afternoon cout suits of the kind chosen by the American more than any other race of women be- cause of their.ntensive social life be. 1ween the hours of 4 and 7. The Eng lish and French have adopted much of.our life in this particular for the daily dancing and tea drinking which they do in public now s sufficient evi- dence that they think we have some- thing on our side. Sapphire blue velvet coat suits are worn, therefore, at whatever gayeties aye offered before dinner, and the J2ack of blue is as much sought as the suit. It is trimméd with fur yather than embroidery, not lavishly. but in the banded Viclorian manner which has crept into fashfon with blue Bristol, gaudy parrots, gauntlet gloves and needle point chairs. The sketch shows a formal evening frock cut on lines which every wom- an kpows from usage. It is toples waistless, sleeveless, but the skirt ,Jong and the hips are accentuated. . His glory lies in the girdle. There is nothing startling about this, for the dressmaker of this season thinks of her girdle first and the frock after- Zjard. The latter is chosen to use the rmer. This particular girdle is woven of sapphire and steel beads, for it is use~| less to expect that this metal is not EVENING WEAR. BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE.

The time was when the least de- sirable place 1in ‘the house deemed good enough for & laundry. That was the time when of ‘all the work connected with a hos the one thing that mo woman did her- self was the washing. The proof of absolute poverty always was in hav- ing to_do one’'s own washing. In those days the “laundry was always poked off in the cellar or basement of the kouse. No oae asked very many questions about the light or ventilation there. Jt seemed to' be taken for granted that if a woman was hard up enough to have to go out to the toilsome task of washing ¢|she wouldn't be apt to ask any ?ueluonl about her working quar- ers. Only of very recent vears has the washing of clothes in the household recelved the sclentific consideration that has for many years been di- rected to food preparation, meal planning, or the proper cleaning and care of living rooms and bedrooms. Electric and other mechanical wash. ing devices have brought the task of washing up many, many pegs in the ‘scale of household tasks.. And now there are many women who would very much rather do their own washing than to wash dinner dishes or bake cake. Women in the home are becoming immensely interested in_the various processes of clothes washing. They are beginning to real- ize that It is almost important to have their clothes washed under hyglenic surrcunding8 &s to have their food cooked under such sur- i roundings. Even if & woman has not the con- venience®f a mechanical or electrie washing machine, the stationary tub of fairly recent introduction makes washing clothes almost child's play compared to what it was. e Germany s consuming much less of certain articles than before the war; the annual consumption of sugar per head has decreased nearly nine pounds. and coffee and tea over three pounds, _ Gumbo Filet With Oysters.
