=th " WOMAN’S PAGE.” " THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, 'I‘UESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1922.° "WOMAN’S PAGE.” . The real juice of 1 dozen real lemons in a little blue and yellow can—and not a lemon to squeeze There is a bright light somewhere on the horizon of the folk whose capi- tal and brains are tied up in the feather business. To them it is of vast import, to most of us merely a fact of passing interest as we medl- tate the purchase of mew millinery, \that feathers are taking an important Place in the workrooms of those who design hats for the coming seasono. Wings are posed smartly on the back or front of hats large and small. Ostrich looms big—though it's a wise ostrich now that knows his own plumage after the milliners have got through ~with their waxing and glycerining and burning. Aigrettes are no longer merely a symbol of a fat bank account or an ambition to imitate those who pos- sess one. The aigrette-trimmed hat is emi- nently the headgear for formal oc- casions. It lends itself to the de- mands for stately or alluring even- ing wear. Now the aigrette is placed with much ingenuity on small hats worn at the tea hour—an hour that is assuming more and more fashion importance every day in Paris. They borrowed the = tea-drinking habit from the English as did we, and now they are showing the rest of the world how to dress for the oc- casion. In the sketch there is a small toque of brown algrettes on a brown foun- dation. They are higher at one side than the other and bend inquisitively down over the eyes in front. Two farge gilt pins form high lights at the left side. Of course, French women arpe still wedded to their black hats, but for the spsing many of green and some of brown are taking prominent place. This little toque was worn with a dark ‘red frock, producing a color combination as clever as unusual. - Would it really make much differ- ence to you whether the ornaments on your hat were aigrettes worth dear knows how much or just glycer- ined ostrich, providing, “of course, that the effect was exactly what you wanted it to be? Wouldn't you rather, in fact, wear the glycerined ostrich if the’ effect was extremély good than the aigrettes when they did not give so smart an effect? Whether you would or wouldn't the fact is that the spirit that pre- valls through the fashion world of today is to use the thing that pro- There is . ¢onstant danger in an oily skin A skin that is too oily is easily infected by dust and dirt. Use this treatment to overcome excessive oiliness: ‘With warm water work up a heavy lather of Woodbury’s Facial Soap in your hands.

That the dressmakers still use the materials that cost much money is in part due to the fact that there are many, many persons who are not real artists. To them there is still an enormous lure in the thing of intrinsic worth. Moreover, when you produce a mode in expensive ma- terials you have safeguarded that mode in a measure. It cannot so easily be reproduced at low cost and scattered broadcast. Most important of all is the fact that the expensive material or fabric often has more real artistic beauty. FASHIONS AND FADS IN THE SHOPS. Gray and red are a combination stressed in the new frocks in the shops. The gray is a clear, light shade, and the red is of various shades, always, however, clear and soft and bright. There are 200 varieties of tea and over 2000 tea flavors. Only in Tetley’s can you be sure of the true Orange Pekoe taste. TETLEY'S Makes good TEA a certainty Our century of tea-blending has taught us how to get that wonderful Tetley Orange Pekoe flavor, fragrance and strength. 300 cups to the pound! Bables' frocks—that is, frocks for little girls of two and three— show the trend toward Russian embroid- ery motifs. These little frocks are made of the finest mull and batiste, in the simplest baby patterns, with little shirred sleeves and necks. Over the shirring at sleeves and wrists is worked a coarse stitchery of red and blue, green and yellow, and some- times a little black. Not baby blue and Nile green, winter suhset yellow and soft flame color, but vivid, al- most harsh, shades of all these colors. They are just the threads that would be used to embroider a blouse for the baby's mother. The effect is, of ccurse, interesting, and really, now that we have put our little children into all the colors of the rainbow, why shouldn't we at least decorate them with these peasant colors of Russia and the Balkan states? Strips of colored suede in green or brown, red or blue, woven into belts that are decidedly _effective, These belts are used with frocks of one of the heavier cotton fabrics for summer. Spmetimes the strips of leather are almost an inch wide, and they are then interlaced to form a belt several inches wide. When the strips are narrower the belt is like- wise narrower. Other belts have scalloped edges stamped or cut into the suede. There is no binding, so the uncolored edge of the leather is in contrast to the dyed surface. 9 A white serge costume, consisting of one-piece frock and long cape, is cov- ered with tiny bright green glass beads, sewed on at regular and close intervals so that at a short distante away it looks as if the fabric was) practically covered with a diamond- shaped design in green. The result is truly interesting and effective. Irish lace is lavishly used on some of the new crepe de chine frocks of white for the summer. One such frock shows a heavy overdress of the Irish lace, mounted on the crepe. An- other shows a sort of apron tunic of ¢ the solld lace. And some show deep, berthas of the lace hanging heavily' over the shoulders. What You Should Do- After Your Bath or when warm or nervous.) Batheyour forehead and wrists with MAVIS Toilet Water.

One of these is the combination of black moire silk“and white kid which Is| purses and card cases. It is a good combination, striking, but in excel- lent style. The moire sometimes forms-the body of the bag and is cut away and buttonholed to show insets of white kid. Sometimes the whole bag or purse is ‘of the white kid, with bindings and edgings of the black silk. At all events, whatever the combination, one cannot rob black !

Another material that is worth look= ing at is a silk or crepe material with looped-up fringe or, if one may use the description, fringe fastened down at both edges. This material is gracefully manipulated into frocks, parasols and blouses; the long strands of fringe are left to shift for themselves, sometimes hanging in one ‘direction, sometimes in another. Fishnet lace is used for some of the spring frocks, and the meshes of the net are darned in with heavy cotton threads with fillet patterns. Quite ef- fective, this, and, incidentally, the same sort of darned is used for table covers and runners. For such purpose, sometimes the net is darned with colored wools in Bright green, blue, yellow and red, as well as black and brown. Another instance, perhaps, of the vague for the peasant embroideries of Russia. Homespun scarfs in fine wool are woven in checks and plaids, with fringed ends, and are very attractive. ‘White crepe de chine is one of the fabrics well accepted at present for frocks for very little girls., It washes and is soft and dainty, and really is a very choice by any but ti mother who has an inherent or con. stitutional dislike of silk fabrics for lit- tle children. It lends itself to the most diminutive styles, and is charming when it is embroidered. \ , flfl@@@fi' g][|IMATH Indigestion Gases Flatulence Sourness Acidity Palpitation Instant relief! - No waiting!

Eggplants are worth more atten- tion than they get in most kitchan for they are Tme capable of being served in a varlety of ways. Not just fried eggplant, but eggplant in half a dozen different ways might well be in the repertory of every cook. Eggplant Fritters. Boll the eggplant and mash fin season with pepper and salt to u-uj add three tablespoons of flour rubbe: smooth in two tablespoons of butter and a well-beaten egg; mix thor- oughly and place in hot butter by the spoonful; fry on both sides. Brolled Eggplant. Slice the same as for frying and soak in salt and water for a couple of hours. Then drain, wipe dry, brush each slice on each side with otve oil and broil over a clear coal fire or un- der the gas flame. Arrange on a hot platter and spread with hot butter beaten to a paste with lemon juice. Eggplant Salad. Boil an eggplant rapidly for half an hour. When done scoop out the cen ter and cut into small dice. Put in a bowl with one teaspoon of salf, mix | together well and place in the icebox for two hours. Dust another tcaspocn of salt inside the hollow shell of the eggplant, draw the water out and Lut the shell also on ice. In the mean- time cut into small dice some can- ned tuna fish and add one stalk of crisp celery cut into fine picce: u together three hard-boiled cxgs und half a pound of English Inuts from which the kernels have been removed. Make a French dressing with one lev- €l teaspoon of mustard and plenty of paprika, using oil and vinegar as di- rected above. Wipe the inside of the eggplant dry, mix it with the egg and nuts and blend thoroughly with the dressing. Fill the shell of the egg- plant with this salad and decorate the top with fresh green celery leaves. Fried Eggplant d Bacon. Pare and slice the eggplant as de- red and dip at once into egg (pre viously seasoned with salt and pep- per) and then into cornstarch, seeing to it that every part is well cov- ered. Fry in deep hot fat to a rich brown. Lay on brown paper to drain. Serve with crisp bacon. Banana Toast. Banana toast is delicious. To make it make a hot sauce with one pint of bolling water, one tablespoon of corn- starch dissolved In a little cold water, one tablespoon of butter, four table- spoons of sugar and a saltspoon of salt. “Boil until clear, stirring con- stantly, add five bananas rubbed through a sieve, stir and boil 4 min- ute longer, then pour over thin, crisp, buttered foast. This makes a nice luncheon or Sunday night supper ish. Hamburg Stuffed With Dressing. Divide the meat into two parts, sea- son and flatten each part, make a dressing of bread crumbs and season with summer savory, pepper, salt and butter. Moisten with water until it will spread, then put it between the two layers of steak and bake until brown.” This can be rolled up if pre- ferred. Serve hot ADVERTISEMENT. !
