WOMAN’S PAGE. Old Devices for Newest Garments BY MARY MARSHALL. «* In the making of the new clothes for Spring there has been apparently 1m0 _effort on the part of the dress- qmakers to be original. This may be hecause they realize that there is +1imothing new under the sun and that the best of new fashions are really only the new applications of old de- ivioes. And usually the older and sim- pler the device the better. The use of bows has been spoken of as one of the new things this Spring, but, of course, men—or women—first began to tie bows at ‘wome inconceivably remote prehis- foric time, and they have been tying them ever since.. Undoubtedly one of ‘the first devices for keeping garments fastened was by means of knotted which can be tied into bows at the front or somewhat to one side. Most of the “new" devices in the Spring frocks are as new and as old as bows. There are flounces and ruffles, fringes and scallops, tucks, pleats, gathers, shirrings, incrusta- tions. 1t is not difficult to see that any of these devices might have been hit upon—as a matter of convenience —at a very early stage of garment making. And these simple, elemental devices are especially favored by the good dressmakers this season. Over. intricate, complicated elaboration seems to be held in disfavor, Those who looked forward to some really drastic changes in fashion for Spring have probably by this time felt some disappointment. ~Fortuhately— or unfortunately- shions seem to come and go more slowly than they did in prewar days, when each season brought forth some new wonder—the hobble skirt, the slit skirt, the minaret tunic. Still, a change in tendency is discernible. Though simplicity seems to be the watchword of the dressmakers who work to please the best-dressed women—still there is a decided leaning toward fashions that are more feminine. (Copyrizht. 1927.)

Peter Rabbit had made a find. Yes, sir, Peter had made a find. It was only a tiny piece of egg shell, but there was a whole story in that tiny piece of egg shell. It was news—-big news—and bad news for the little E:fih’nt the Green Forest. You see, t little tiny piece of egy sheil e . - PETER SOON FOUND WHITEFOOT AND TOLD WHITEFOOT Y THE NEWS. K meant that at least one little bird had i* hatched, and if one had, probably two ' had. Peter waited only to make sure of that little piece of egg shell; then off 4 he hurried as fast as his long legs could go, lipperty-lipperty-lip. The rst one he met was Jumper the Hare. h, Jumper!” cried Peter. “They’ve ot them!” ~ “Do talk sense,” said Jumper, cross- 1y, “Who has got what?” - “Hooty and Mrss llooty have bables!" replied Peter, quite breath- ; with excitement. % How do you know?” asked Jumper. 1 found a plece of egg shell at the oot of the tree in which the nest is,” 3 lied Peter. 3¢ Jumper looked very sober. “We'll "have to spread the news, and every- body will have to watch out. At least all the smaller folk will have to watch out,” sald he. “Young owls terrible eaters, and it is going to E:e a lot to keep them filled. You'd tter tell Whitefoot the Wood Mouse, if you see him.” Peter nodded. “I'll tell everybody,” said he. “I know one thing.” “What is that?” asked Jumper, curi- ously. “I'm going to keep awa art of the Green Fores:,” replied eter. “You won't catch me over there again for a longz, long time.” Peter soon found Whitefoot and told Whitefoot the news. Whitefoot stroked his whiskers thoughtfully and looked worried. “I believe,” said he, “that a mouse has the hardest life of any one in all the Great World. It's a wonder to me that I've lived as long as I have. It sometimes seems as if all the world is walting to eat a poor Mttle mouse. If it isn't a fox, it's a hawk. If it isn’t a hawk, it's an owl.

The climate is diffrent at the same time in diffrent parts of the werld, so if you travelled fast enuff in a aireo- plane you would haff to hurry up take off your overcoat as soon as you got pass the north pole so you would have time to put on your bathing suit be- fore you come to the quater, wich may only be a imaginerry line but that dont say ‘the heet around there is imaginerry too.

If it isn't a possum, it's a bear. Well, all there is to it, I shall have to look out twice as sharp as before. It will take a lot of mice to fill those young owls and keep them filled, and I don’t want to be one of those mice.” Of course, Sammy Jay got the news fairly early, for Sammy always does get the news early. He went cvef to make sure. He flew high above the tree in which was the nest, so that he might look down. It happened that Mrs, Hooty had left the nest just for a moment, and Sammy's sharp eyes saw the two little downy birds in the middle of the nest. “It's true,” mut- tered Sammy, “it’s true. I must spread the news as fast as 1 can.” Sammy did just that. He spent a very busy day, flying here, flying there, telling every one he met that Hooty the Owl had two hungry bables. That was all he needed to tell. The mere mention of Hooty and his babies was enough to send shivers over 1aost of the feathered folk, and all the little folk who walk the earth. All had been happy because there were signs that Sweet Mistress Spring was com- ing. Now all forgot ineir happiness and became worried. (Copyright. 1927.) P Ses L ea s A Apple Dumpling. Just as old-fashioned strawberry shortcake calls for baki powder biscuit crust rather than e, 80 do old-fashioned apple dumplings call for the oven rather than the steamer. To make these dumplings, prepare a rich baking powder biscuit dough as follows: Flour, two cups; baking powder, three teaspoonfuls; butter, three table- spoonfuls; milk, one-half cup; salt, one-half teaspoonful. Combine the dry ingredients and sift. Work the butter in gradually and then add the milk, stirring until the dough is the right consistency to pat out on a floured board. Cut the biscuits with a floured cookie cutter and arrange on the board. Have ready sliced, tart apples and fill the centers of the rounds of dough. Fold over from the edge to the center, pressing firmly here and there so 8s to keep the top of the dumpling closed. Prick with a fork and arrange the dumplings on a well oiled and floured sheet or biscuit pan. Bake until the dough and apples are thoroughly done. e el Turnips au Gratin. Pare and boilf four turnips until almost done. Straln and cut in thin slices, Put a layer of them in a baking dish and sprinkle thickly with grated cheese and a handful of flour mixed, pieces of butter here and there, pepper and salt, another layer and 8o on until you finish with the sprinkling as above, butter and a tablespoonful of water over all. Bake for half an hour. ‘AMOUS beauty experts, both in Europe and America, now urge simple cleanliness—soap water— as the first rule in skin care. Wash the face gently with Palmolive. Massage its balmy olive and palm oil lather into the skin. Rinse with warm water; then with cold. That is all—it's nature’s rule for keeping that schoolgirl complexion. Thus, largely on expert advice, millions use Palmolive Soap; touch their faces with no other. It is made of cosmetic oils. It is made for one purpose only—to protect and beau- tify the skin.

B2 1 There are & lot of 8 of cutting straight hair, Very shost all over the head like a boy’s haircut is one. Short at the sides and back and Jong enough in front to come half way down over the forehead is another, which is most attractive for certain types of faces. Parted on either the right er the left side, combéd straight down each side and brought just & little forward over the cheeks, with a decided shingle in back, is still another. Another very attractive way is to part the hair in the middle, comb it to the sides, with the least suggestion of a point coming forward over the ears against the cheeks. If you can stand it this way without a fringe on the forehead, it is demure and youth- ful, and especlally sultable for dark hair. If you can't, a very thin fringe either half way down the forehead or quite to the eyebrows will soften the effect of this demure style around the face, so that even the thinnest face will look well. Another suggestion is to part the Do this nightly if “That Sehool- girl Complexion” is your aim By NORMA SHEARER Use this way regularly, and par- ticularly before bed.

The fringe should then be shaped, straight across the eyebrow and curv- ing down until it meets the longef hair of the sides.

FOR QUALITY [ NANCY PAGE Nancy Goes Shopping for Spring Clothes BY FLORI I It w sunshiny morning_when Julia Mason stopped to pick up Naney for a shopping expedition. Julla wanted an afternoon frock, but Nancy stopped long enough to look for a home frock for herself. She chose something which looked Spring-like, which was easy to launder, easy to cAun ks Rvand slip into. And since Nancy was to wear it, it had style. It was of white dotted swiss with a piping of red. The frills were of batiste. Nancy looked at some of white washable silk, but chose the swiss because the silks lacked crispness. Julia chose a dress of green crep- ella. It was a two-plece frock which the saleswoman assured them was go- ing to be good for another season, at least. The skirt was box pleated. The blouse of the two-piece dress was of hip length, fitted at the hips by means of fat round buttons and loops. These same buttons were down the center front of the vest. The vest was of the same material as the blousesand was fagoted in place. Simulated needle point made the many colored flowers on the low- er part of the blouse front. (Covyright. 1927.) Braised Liver. In a deep 'kettle place a piece of liver with one cupful each of diced carrots, onion, turnip, celery, or any desired vegetables and two cupfuls of water or soup stock. On top of the liver place two or three slices of bacon or fat pork. Cover closely and bake slowly for two hours. Re- move the cover during the last 15 minutes of baking, to brown the meat. Remove to a hot platter, sur- round with the vegetables and thick- en the liquid to serve as a gravy.

T was feeling awfully cheerful to- day on account of Joan lking my new suit even if T did pick it out my. self, and I thought I would buy her a present, because when your wife says something you do is all right you should encourage her and maybe it will happen again, so I thought and thought, but I could not think up anything special, and finally I de cided to get her just a box of candy, because it is so hard to think. ‘While I was at it I thought I ought to be getting the baby a present, too, and I tried to think of something, but 1 did not have any luck because when you want to buy a little tiny baby a present you cannot just get a box of candy and say there, thank God, that's settled, and then I thought of something to wear, and I went into a store and a sign said boys’ depart- ment, and the first thing I saw were some stockings on a counter and a sign said boys’ sports hose, and there were some pretty plaid ones, with the tops rolled down. I told the clerk I wanted a pair and she said, “What size?" and I said, “I don’t know,” and I looked them over and they all seemed little large, and I said, “What is the smallest size you have?” and she said, “These are the smallest,” and she held a pair up, and I thought, well, if I cannot get them any smaller, they will have to do, and s0 I bought them. When I came home Joan was get- ting dinner and the baby was playing in bed, and after I had gome out to the kitchen to kiss Joan I went into the bedroom, and I thought 1 would surprise her. So I took the stockings out of my pocket and 1 put the baby on my knee, and I puiled them on him, and they seemd a little large, and they would have reached his hips, I guess, only his pants were in the way, and then I noticed the rolled tops, and I rolled them down some more, and they were a pretty good fit then ex- cept that they were a little long in the feet, but you should wear socks a size too large anyway so the toes will not wear out. So then I started out to the kitchen with the baby, but his dress covered up the socks, and I had to tuck it in around his waist, and then we went out so Joan could see him. I said, “Look, what we've got on, mamma,” and Joan looked and she said, “Well, for heaven's sakes, I said, ‘‘Doesn’t he look cute?" “I bought them,” and id you really spend money to have vour little joke?” I sald, “What joke?" and Joan said, “The stockings.” "I said, “I got them for him to wear” and Joan said “When?” and 1 said, “Right now. I put them on him, didn't 17" and Joan said, “You certainly did. What was e idea of getting them?” and I said, ust a little present,” and Joan said, “‘Oh,” and 1 said, “There is a present for you on the table in the other room,” and she went in and got it, and I guess she liked the candy, all right, but somehow I do not think she liked the baby’s stockings, and women nowadays cannot sew worth a darn or she could cut them down to fit him, any anyway I think the baby liked them, and he is who I got them for. Baked Oysters. One and o6ne-half dozen Cape Cod oysters; eight slices bacon; one table- spoonful butter; pepper and salt to taste; one-half teaspoonful chopped parsley. : Place one-half slice of bacon and a small bit of butter on top of each oyster. Sprinkle with pepper, salt and parsley and bake in shells in a very hot oven. Serve at once. Ten minutes will probably be sufficient for baking.
