Borrowed From Upholstery Shop BY ANNE RITTENHOUSZ. The dressmakers have invaded the realms of the upholsterers and in- terior decorators. There is nothing especially new about that, for this invasion has been going on since the time, three or four years ago, when some re- sourceful dressmaker became con- vinced of the fact that women Would, it properly led, wear clothes made from cretonnes and chintzes. The idea seemed preposterous. Some of the first women who adopted this modg were jestingly accused of hav- ing walked off with the slip covers of srmchairs and lounges. Now, of course, there is nothing new or dis- tinctive about wearing any of the numerous printed cottons or Lnens that were once used exclusively for the covering of furniture or the mak- ing of crtains. Toile de jouy, that printed cotton fabric which depicted interesting ~vents, historical, classical or purely pictorfal, has béen used by dres makers here and abroad quite freely, though once it was seen only In_the upholsterer’s or decorator's shop. Velour, once used more generally in uphelstery than in dressmaking, has by botn milliners and Tape as the is spoken of sometimes material out of which short jackets are made for interesting port or atternoon frocks. In some few instances the material is actually some old tapestry of hand manufac- ture, though usually it is machine made, as is the tapestry, so-called, used by the upholsterers of the day. Crewel work—colored wool embroid- on u canvas background—our ndmothers put the backs of or made to cover ottomans nd foot r Now the dressmak- rs use crewel work to give inter- esting color to the new frocks, and it is also found on some of the new on the fabries them- selves borrowed from the upholster- ©rs, but we have gone to them for trimming as well, and galloons have with luavish afternoon frocks and suits. Beige is siill the choice of many Women of discriminating taste, but the: surprising!y large number of black or black with white frocks and suits that are brought to light hand on The Diary of a Professional Movie Fan BY GLADYS HALL. Attention! Something new is going to happen. Tll tell you about it. It's this way: Ever since 1 have been writing this diary I have had letters from-all over the country, east and west, south and north, asking me questions about the WHAT DO YOU THED.A KNOW BARA ABOUT various dios, stars, asking me about stu- cameramen, extra work, et cet- ». my opinion or or pralse.

We think we sec them cor- rectly, but we don’t. We see, gener- 1y, what like to see. We are conscious that now and then one of them does a little something that we would rather he did not do, but on the whole are Inclined to think that they ave pretty good children. Then along comes a stranger, ost disugreeable stranger, and say: That child ought to be well spanked. If he was mine he'd get it, and no question about it. Such manners I never saw. The boy never leaves a room without banging the doors after him or leaving them wide open, we a My Neighbor Says: ‘When oiling \a maple floor, heat linseed oil lukewarm, re- move from fire and add half as much turpentine as linseed ofl. The turpentine keeps the ofl from turning the floor dark. Never put soda and water into an enameled saucepan that has been burned. This will re- move the burn but it will also make the saucepan likely to burn again the next time it is used. Use salt instead of soda. Will the pan with cold water, leave till the next day, them slowly bring to a boil. The pan will be ‘quite clean and there will be no bad effects. Most _accidents which occur with oil stoyes or lamps result from filling them while burn- ing. This is a mogt dangerous .proceeding. The vapor from the open can is fired and, of course, an _explosion results. Do not make the mistake of purcha ing too small a stove, elther for gas, oil or coal. The time and brains required in contriv- ing how to have all the dishes done and served hot at the same time are of greater worth than the additional cost of & large stove. .

But let's not get so warm jabout it. Grin a little, because, after (all, it is rather funny.

Then we'll watch the reaction of the stranger to our children and welgh, his remarks discriminatingly. He who has no persondl bias, no emotional background for them, who preserves a remote, dispassionate at- titude toward them, may be seelng them more accurately, from at least one angle, than we are. So we'll grin and silently thank the stranger for his hint and act upon it or not, as our several dispositions permit, (Copyright, 1928.) Peanut Potato Sausages.

Boil eight eggs for twenty minutes and then put them in cold water. When cool, take eff the shells and separate the yolks from the whites, reserving the whites for use later. Mash the yolks to a powder, work in one dessertspoonful of melted but- ter, and add a little pepper and salt and one-third teaspoonful of mus- tard. Add twice as much minced ham or chicken as you have yolks. The meat must be minced very fine to mix smoothly with the yolks. Make the mixture into ¢gg-shaped balls and heap them onto a hot dish. Cut the whites into fine shreds and arrange them around the egg-shaped balls to ; simulate straw. Take one cupful of gravy saved when vou cooked your chicken or ham, thicken it with one teaspoonful of ' flour made smooth with a little water, and pour it scald- ing hot over all. A salad dressing may be used instead of the gravy if the dish is served cold and garnished with lettuc Moonshine. Beat the whites of siX egEs to a stiff froth. Gradually add six table- spoonfuls of powdered sugar, then two heaping tablespoonfuls of canned peaches that have been mashed with a fork. Whip half a pint of cream slightly sweetened, and add half a teaspoonful of vanilla. Serve a por- tion of the cream in frappe cups with a little of the moonshine on top. On that sprinkle a few chopped nuts. Jelly may be used instead of the peaches. ‘Meat and Pastry Balls, Boil two pounds of potatoes, and mash them while they are warm.
