WOMAN’S PAGE, Long and Short Skirts as Rivals BY MARY MARSHALL. It is still difficult to find any indica- tion of the passing of the fashion for short hair—but you do not have to 8o far to find indication of the com- ing of longer skirts. At the showing of a collection of Spring frocks at one of the prominent dressmaking houses , observers were interested to see that the skirts were still amazi But the couturiere in charge of the had been disregarded in the work- room. When the frocks were copled for private customers they would in deed be made several inches longer.

To one-pound of the peel add two pints of water and two slices of lemon one-eighth inch thick. Boil for 15 minutes, change the water, and boil again. Repeat the process as often as is necessary to re- move as much of the bitter from the peel as is desired. Remove the peel and lemon from the water and drop them into a boiling sirup made by adding three-fourths pound of sugar to one pint of water for each pound of neel taken and boiling until the sugar is dissolved. After the peel is added, boil until the peel is trans- parent and the sirup is sufficiently heavy. E - Apricot Sponge Cake. Beat three egg yolks with two ta- blespoonfuls of sugar until very light.

It is made both in Europe and this country from soft wools of | the finest grades. Some of the wools | are picked at home, but the best are sald to be imported from France and Australia. Imported cashmere may therefore be either cashmere made abroad or cashmere made from im- ported wool. Labels usually are af- fixed to tell one what is what. To this day cashmere is an exceed- ingly light-weight fabric, finely twilled on one side. It Is very soft and pli- | able, and is an unusuaily comfortable | feeling fabric to wear. It was its soft finish that first recommended it to_feminine users. ‘When cashmere was first made, woolen cashmere was made almost ex- clusively. Our own manufacturers, however, made cashmere mixtures by combining silk and wool, or wool and | cotton. They have also varied the | texture so as to make cashmere prac- | tical for all uses. It may vary from a | twill, nearly as coarse as serge, to one | so fine that the eye can scarcely dis- | tinguish it. Cashmere's quality is generally judged by the fineness of the twill, but this is not an unalterable rule. It is very possible that a loose twill may be | made of the very flnest wool, and | therefore be of the highest quality. Cashmere must be judged as much | by the feel and appearance of the wool, as by the weave. The silk and ‘wool mixture mentioned above is found chiefly in black, and is used naturally | enough, by elderly women almost exclusively. It is not widely manufactured today. 1 wool and wool and cotton cash- meres come in a variety of shades suitable for all sorts of apparel: Babies coats, children’s dresses, negliges and house dresses.
