A certain well dressed woman. who amuses herself with unusual ways of working out her fashion schemes each season, has hit upon the idea of making black or white the basis of her Spring and Summer wardrobe. That is the plan—but the effect js one of much color interestingly used. Tor Spring street wear this woman bought an all-black suit and an all- black hat, with which she wore black pumps and white gloves. For certain oceasions she uses thix suit As the basis for & smart white and black color | seheme. Again she wears a vellow blouse and & yellow necklace and a button- hole bouquet of white and yellow gardenias. For evening wear during the Spring the bought two simple dresses—one all black snd the other all white. Bv changing’ the color and design of her jewelry, scarfs, artificlal flowers and other a ring a dozen different changes. And now, she tells s, she is going to use all white as the basis of her vacation wardrobe. She will have a full length white coat and several white hats with & number of all white dresses —one of heavy silk crepe with long | sleeves, another of the same material | made with no sleeves, two white linen dresses and one eyelet. embroidered. a dress of white silk plque and one or {wo of cotton pique for sports wear. Her three all-white evening dresses will be of linen Iace, chiffon and organdy. At | present, one of her white crepe de chine dresses is finished with a wide red patent leather belt and red buttons and the white hat with which she will wear it is provided with a small red feather " will be a simple matter to add a set of buttons of another color, with belt and hat feather to match.

Data on the weight, height, chest measurement and lung capacity of 6.000 college freshman girls, 18 to 19 years old, recorded in five colieges in the past 50 years, show that in that period the average weight has increased 8 per cent, the height less than 2 per cent, the chest, measurement a shade less than 3 per cent, and the lung capacity nearly ‘ cent. the casual layman this signifies | that the girls today are bigger and better than ever. But I may be per- mitted to point out the discrepancy in the figures, so to speak. How shall we account for greater increase in llmg capacity than in chest measurement? Frankly we should give credit where eredit is due. It is the gradual insin- uetion of Rhyl‘cll education into the common school and high school courses that deserves most. of the credit for the bigger and better women that bless the world today.

Custard Possibilities BY MISSIS PHYLLIS, ‘)ID vou ever stop to think of the possibilities of an ordinary recipe for custard? Just plain, unadulterated custard—the sort that you send to in- | valids and feed to bables. The sort that tastes a great deal better than most people suppose. ‘Well, a custard recipe is to be cher- ished \use it can do a lot of clever things. ially now when eggs are | cheap and the price of milk is down in | many localities. And especially if there | are children or ‘any other members of the family who need to have plenty of eggs and milk’ in their diets. First, we'll have the basic recipe. And afterward the various possibilities. | Baked custard requires two eggs. two nur milk, four tablespoons sugar, pinch salt, few grains of nutmeg and one- quarter teaspoon vanilla. Beat the very slightly and add | the sugar, salt and nutmeg. Add the milk, stirring well to mix the eggs evenly. Ad! vanilla. Pour into a greased baking dish. St in a shallow pan in which there is a little water and bake until a silver knife put into it comes out clean and uncoated. Tt takes the custard quite a while to | bake. Set the oven at 350 and bake for at least an hour. If you want to bake the smail individual custards they will bake in less time-—from 35 to 45 min- utes. If you want to turn the small custard out. of the molds whole (instead of ing right in the cups) be sure to grease the cups very well, then loosen the | custard with a sharp knife. Custards don't always fall out quite so easily as & pudding that is a Jittle more com- pact, not quite so soft and slithery You must dress up your custard to take it out of the 10-cent dessert class and put it into the 35-cent class.
