THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO D.” C, AUGUST 2 1925—PART 5 Flares Upon All Sides Mark New Development in Women's Fashion BY MARY MARSHALL. | ITTLE flares and big flare flares on both sides and flare; | on one side, back flares and | front flares, flares that really are flares and flares that stm- ply look like flares, flaves like a funnel and flares like an inverted morning glory, bell-shaped flares and flares that are shaped like a telephone re- ceiver, flares that suggest the spread- ing tail feathers of a bird and flares that spread out gracefully like the fins of a fish—and ‘if there are any other sorts of flares add those to the list of flares that fashion is going to male use of in the new clothes for Jate Summer and Autumn Verily the day of the string bean and pencil silhouette has passed, and though it is still fashionable to be straight And slender, almost all the new frocks and wraps will show some ®ort of tendency to spread out toward the hem. For some months now the smart silhouette, as some one tersely put it the other day, has been that of a woman with her back toward the breeze. erything is drawn tight at the back and any fullness that thers is to spare is_seemingly “blown” to the front. And now we have recently heard quite a bit about back flares and back fullness. Some assure us that this new back fullness is going to be a characteristic of the new clothes, and others are quite as emphatic in saying that back fullness will not be important,” at least for the time being, but that the smart silhouette will continue to be that of a woman standing with her back to the breeze. The truth is that in the new fash-4 ions there will be room for back flares and front, flares and that the really only important thing is that there must be a flare of some sort. The woman who dances welcomes flared evening frocks. The only ¥ on that skirts so tight as those that have been worn were en- dured as long as they were is their shortness. But when skirts are both flaring and short, as those of the new dance frocks all 'seem to be, then we are as unconstricted in the dance as a ballet dance To be sure there are some longer-skirted evening frocks, but these are of the period sort, with straight, close-fitting bodices and skirts that balloon outward from the hips—frocks usually suitable and be- coming only to the younger woman. These demure, full-skirted frocks, cometimes of taffeta and sometimes of tulle or lace, have been displayed dressmakers for many, many sea- s now, and usually they have not ived a ve! warm welcome. But really are very charming when by bridesmaids at a wedding or some lovely debutante of willowy roportions. they we ¥ ey NE of the cleverest flares of the season is the side flare that ap- pears in_some of the new evening frocks. Sometimes it is formed by a flounce or frill that is added to a close-fitting sheath of a frock, some- how suggesting the clothes of the 1880 perfod, only with them the flare ex- tended into a bustle at the back, whereas in this case the flare goes right up at one side, giving an effect that seems to delight French dress- makers at the present time. In this matter of flares the ques- tion of the fabric must be considered carefully. A gathered flare would hardly do with figured material. With the large figured materials godets are often satisfactory. Lace forms in- teresting flares, sometimes extending all around the skirt and sometimes merely in interesting little wings at the side of the skirt. Pleated crepe de chine or georgette forms interest- ing little panels, hanging from the hips of a new dance frock, that sug- zest the fins of an interesting fish. With the flared skirt that continues usually just as short as ever we will be living in an age when women have shown more of their legs than has ever been the case since civilized hings Which New Things to Cook “I wish I could think of something different that wouldn't be too hard to make.” Sarah Lee, like many an- other girl, had “‘gone into the Kitch- en’” during the Summer and was real- 1y learning to cook. And now mother had gone away for a_whole week to visit Aunt May, so Sarah Lee was proudly managing the household. It was her first experience in really plan- | ning meals herself. “Something different” is a special Suwmmer time problem, for then most people don’t have the hearty appetites that winter winds bring. For the bene- fit of Sarah Lee here are some new appetite-teasers to dress up meals with. And they're things any girl can | make. Serve Eggs New Way. First of all, here’s a_new way to serve breakfast eggs. Cut bread Into rings with biscuit cutters of two sizes and toast them. Then moisten the with milk, put an egg in the cen- nd set in the oven until firmr and brown. These are called “ox-eyes.” | Here's something to make of “left- | overs” for a light supper. It's known | as ‘“potato rosettes.” From cold| ished potatoes mold with the fin-| ers small patty shells. Mince enough ham or other meat to fill a cup. Boil | one egg hargand chop it fine. Make & cream saucd of one-half cup milk and one tablespoon flour, add the ham and egg, and when thick pour in the patly shells and set in the oven until brown. Doesn't that sound good? Hollow Out Rolls. Another attractive way to fix creamed meat or vegetables is to serve them in baskets. The baskets are made of crisp rolls hollowed out, with & strip left across for the handle, The | inside is filled with the creamed meat | or vegetables. Just watch the fam- ily's eves grow big when you serve these. Did you ever eat peannut butter and > It's the best ever for a - day when there's a air. Use one and a half to juice, one-half cup of | one teaspoontul of salt, | aspoonful of paprika and (\\'0' 1If cups of boiling water. Add the tomato juice gradually to the pea- nut butter, and when smooth add the seasonings and the water. Simmer for 10 minutes. A few drops of lemon | juice. may be added just before the ] soup is served. Rhubarb with Apples. A new-old dessert your family will like is made of apples and rhubarb, Tiemove the applé core without cute ting clear through the apple. Fill the cavity with diced rhubarb and honey | and su r. Then put in the oven and bake ntil the apple is tender. If you can add small red cinnamon candies, You will get an extra flavor and a pretty pink color. To go with these rhubarb-apples, nothing could be better than these plain cooki which any girl can eas-| ily make: Use two cups of sugar, one cup of shortening (butter and bacon fat or lard) creamed together; add the Yolks of two eggs and mix well; then | add one and one-half cups of sour milk and cream mixed. Sift well four cups of flour to which one teaspoon of | baking powder, one teaspoon of soda, ne teaspoon of cinnamon and one: alf teaspoon each of nutmeg and cloves have been added, add and stir well, then add the whifes of the two eggs, which have been beaten until light. Add enough flour as vou han die them to roll out; cut into funcy chill in the cups of tol peanut butte pre and a ¥ | will be e: A change from cake or cookies for | | cup of dates cut fine.

We have come upon this state of affairs quite gradually. Dignified women now wear frocks While Mother Rests. shapes with your cooky cutter, bake in a moderate oven. On the warmest days it is fun to have supper or lunch on the porch or lawn in picnic style. For such a time vou can have some variety in sand- wiches by serving maple sugar sand- wiches, baked bean and lettuce sand wiches, or crisp rolls hollowed out and filled with chopped meat or fish. These y for you to make yvourself. and your picnic lunch is furnished by date gems. Use three tablespoons of but- ter, one egg, one-fourth cup of milk, three-fourths cup of water, one cup of flour, one-haif teaspoon of salt, four teaspoons of baking powder, and one Bake the gems in a hot oven. 1f you don’t know anything about cooking, you will have to ask mother to help you make most of these dishes, but if you have any experience at all vou should be able to do the (ouk&ng‘ all by yourself.

It may be that the flared skirt is going to lead the way to a longer skirt, it may be that the flared skirt is going to lead the way back to & more closely molded - silhouette, it may be that curving lines to the hip and back will again be permitted. But so far these things have not happened.

French women cling to their tradition that some sort of wrap ought to be worn in the street, and when warm days come they are glad that fashion this Summer bids them wear wraps that consist of only a few yards of Gifts for the Traveler T is the next best thing to going abroad—choosing gifts for friends that are going. And next best to that, perhaps, is choosing gifts for friends that are going just across the continent or to Canada or to Florida —only we- don't often give gifts to friends going these shorter distances. The thing is that it is fun to give our traveling friends. The choice of gift, of course, must be made with due regard to the taste of the friend who is going away. It is foolish to give a chronic sufferer from indigestion something to eat. It is equally foolish to give books to the man or woman with an aversion to reading. But the shops offer all sorts of suggestions, so that you will have no difficulty jn choosing something that is st vigh To begin with, the things to eat— and they are usually appropriate, as not many of our friends suffer from chronfc indigestion. There are all sorts of tempting baskets and boxes of eatables to be had for varying prices. For five dollars you can buy a goodlooking basket, containing a pound of chocolates, a jar of sugar candy and an assortment of fine fruit. For the same price you can buy a basket containing little jars of jams and a tin of biscuits to eat with them. There are baskets containing a package of tea, a box of sweet bis- cuits, a box of mints, and a little equipment for boiling water for the tea—also a teacup, saucer, plate and spoon, if you wish. Other food boxes | and baskets have various packages of cookies and fruit cake with fruit and candies. Flowers are always an acceptable gift for the traveler. For everybody | likes flowers—at least those who do not are so few and far between that they do not count. Most florists make a specialty of arranging baskets and hoxes for travelers. Some of them have enam- eled baskets containing a tin water holder inside, so‘that the flowers re- main fresh. The flowers must, of course, be chosen according to the Frozen Desserts LMOST everybody likes ice cream. | And, really, ice cream isn't hard to make. Get a good freezer and a good fce pick and then select an in- teresting recipe, and the task will really be fun. The thing about & good ice pick is that if the ice is well shaved, really fine and ®ven, ti% freezing will take | far less time than if the ice is in big So remember that five min- utes extra spent in getting the ice right will save ten minutes in the freezing. Mix the ice and salt before adding to the freezer. Directions for the pro- portion of ice needed to salt come with different freezers. Have the mixtures for the ice cream thoroughly chilled beforehand. of K="/ Form Important in Swimming. This is the fourth of six swimming les- sons by Jack Gihon, who' has taught thou- sands of boys and girls to swim. Once you have learned to swim, important thing is form. The point to watch most closely s to Kkeep the body from ‘“rolling. To do this, In the crawl stroke, keep the head well up, so that the w line is just about at the eyebrows, and be sure that the arm movement comes from the shoulders, and the leg movement from the hips. In the lessons that have gone be- fore we have learned these arm and leg movements, and we have learned how to turn the head to dhe side to breathe. It is a common mistake to turn the head too much to one side for this breathing process. Concen- trate on turning as little as possible. The lessons that have gone before have all taken place in shallow water. If you have practiced regularly, and mastered the lessons, you will now be able to go into deeper water, al- though not until experienced instruc- tors have passed on your swimming and told you that you are able td take A Magic Game Years and years ago at Japanese parties the boys and girls played a game which they play even to this day. They place 10 teacups upside down in a row (you may use anything that is of convenient size and symmet- rical when you play it) and number them in order. These numbers are known to the performer and her at- tendant only. The performer announces that her attendant is of unusually high intel- lect and proceeds to send her into another room, far enough away so that she cannot possibly ses or hear what is going on. ‘The boys and girls in the audience select one of the cups and the per- former promises that her attendant ‘will have no difficulty in guessing the cup they have indicated. The cup selected has, of course, a number; let us pretend it is No. 4. ‘When the attendant Is called in, the performer points to No. 7 and asks: “Is this the cup?” The attendant answers “Ni because if No. 7 were the right cup it would be indicated the seventh, not the first time. After pointing to two other cups and re- ceiving a negative reply, the leader points to No. 4. “Yes replies the attendant, and she is, of course, sure | not August >, 1992 season. But just remember that the hardies flowers stand up better in warm weather. Roses, at this time of year, are 80 likely to wither quickly. There are all sorts of other things to give. Books, for instance. Some of the book shops make a specialty of boxes containing books and magazines —two or three best sellers, a couple of popular magazines and perhaps one or two new travel books. You can, of course, chose your own assort- ment of books, if you want to, and so make your box of reading matter particularly appropriate to the friends you are giving it to. Apd then there are such things as leather-covered writing pads, leather holders for guide books—and say what he may, almost any traveler at times has recourse to a good guide book—and varfous sorts of toilet ac cessories done up for traveling. There is an interesting chintz travel- ing case, big enough to hold all your tollet accessories. It is made so that, when it {8 unwound, it can be hung on a wall or door. At the bottom a stiffened extension stands out like a little shelf. Toward the top there is a mirror, so that you can shave or dress the hair before it quite comfortably. A _clever restaurant, noted for its good coffee, puts up a package of small vacuum bottles of coffee. These are for gifts to persons who are par- ticularly fussy about the sort of cof- fee they drink, who are, therefore, likely to approve of shipboard coffee. You can do much to enhance the {1o0ks of vour gifts if you wrap them | in interesting fashion. You can buy figured wrapping paper for the pur- pose—some shops will wrap your par- cels for you in this gift paper. Of course, if you send flowers or fruit or books from a shop that makes a specialty of delivering to steamers, you needn’t worry about the wrap- Ding. These shops make a specialty of sending their gifts attractively wrapped. They realize that first im- pressions count for much and that an attractive parcel print has won a friend before it is opened. for Warm Days If the foundation is cooked, make that well ahead of time and cool it, then chill it in the refrigerator. All this saves time In the actual freezing—and saves ice, too. Here are good recipes for cara- mel and coffee ice cream: Nut Ice Cream. Beat together the yolks of seven eggs and a cup and a half of sugar. Add two cups of hot milk, and vanilla to flavor, Add a cup of cream and a cup of nut-meats chopped very fine.

The higher the number the more difficult it is to keep it in mind ac- curately, The attendant must say “No” until the right one is touched. It is entirely up to the leader to increase the intereat In the game. She it is who can cleverly confuse her audience by skipping about when pointing to the cups. She should change the tone of her voice fre- quently and should be careful that her numbers do not coincide before the right cup is reached. Any number of boys and girls may play, and the game can be varied a great deal so that it is hardly recos- nizable. The same principle may be applied to a game with a deck of cards, the attendant pronouncing some mys. terous words as he is questfoned about which card has been selected. The card trick can be made very effective if the leader casually selects the cards in ‘the deck that he will question ' his attendant about, ‘al- though he should be very caretul, as in the teacup game, not to pull out the selected card Dbefore the ar- ranged time. i bearing their im-| August 19,191 %S Troops %o Pursue Bandits in deeper water, be-| cause the water is heavier and keeps | chiffon, georgette or ninon. The wrap matches the frock with which it is worn and usually has a bit of facing or trimming to match the trimming of the gown. But as the heat of the season increases this wrap of geor- gette or chiffon or ninon grows lighter and lighter. Sometimes it is only a large scarf or shawl which is worn like & wrap around the frock, and in one instance it was just a long panel worn like a court train from the shoulders, just a trifile longer than the frock. Coats cannot be too bright and colorful to suit some women's taste this Summer. Our young girls are wearing the vivid cretonne coats and from Parls come the varicolored darned coats, which have been talked about for several months but which have just made their appearance on this &ide of the Atlantic. These are made on a white or light ground, the vivid, colorful design being darned in. The designs are usually of a cubistic or futuristic sort and the colors are, of course, terribly vivid. (Copyright. 1925.) The New Gloves ~THE PULL-ON GLOVE. Just at the moment the pull-on glove is decidedly smart. It is very often quite plain, made of white or beige suede. As a transition between this simple pullon and the trimmed gauntlet, which it has partly superseded, there are pullons which are decorated at the edge with stitching of black. Sometimes there is a pinked edge, too, without stitching. There are still cuffed gloves with interesting linings. Some of these are made with narrow cuffs, an inch and a half wide, perhaps, turned back over the glove, sometimed fastened with link cuff buttons of pearl. Some of the suede pull-ons are decorated with punch-work designs along the edge. These usually are finiehed with a pinking or notching around the very edge. Of course there are many gloves of silk for Summer wear. Some | women, who for the sake of keep-| ing thelr hands white and clean .ike to wear gloves, still find any kind of kid or skin glove too heavy. They choose silk. ~And it must be said that the makers of silk gloves have put some of very attractive design on | the market. Some are made with petal cuffs, each petal lined with col- ored silk—a white glove with rose- colored lining to the petals, or a cream glove with mauve, or a beige glove with green. of granulated sugar in an fron frying- pan, and stir over the fire until the | sugar melts, turns brown, boils and smokes.

Did you ever hear of the two fa- mous human fish, Arne and “Boy"? If you read anything about the Olym- pic games’ last Summer, you know that these two, Arne Borg of Sweden and “Boy” Chariton of Aus- tralia, were two of the fastest swim- mers to enter the contests. And they're both boys in their teens! “Boy” Charlton is only 16, but he's 6 feet tall and weighs 175 pounds. He has already beaten a number of world records and is keeping right at it. Arne Borg is another boy who goes around breaking records and thinks no more of it than most boys do when they make a pretty good grade in schooly In 1916, when the Olympic games were in Arne's own country, Sweden, he was just learning to pad- dle around. ‘He made yp his mind when he saw those games that some day he was going to be a big star himself.
