The carbohydrates arc in different forms, as starch in potaioes and old corn and sugar in young corn and beets. Beans are richer in pro- | tein than other vegetables. Celery has a high percentage of water and is valu- able for its ash. Unfortunately the common methoc of preparing vegctables i ; wasteful one. The most valua of 1to is very close to the t is v yeeled off nd, of course, thrown awz Likewise, spin- ach is similarly abused. It is often plunged into a quantity of water, which releases the valuable salts of the | vegetables, and these finally find their way down the sink pipe. Spinach needs no added water in cooking. It will cook perfectly in its own Jjul with very little loss of valuable sub- ance. Some dietitians claim that any vege- table usually peeled should be washed and scrubbed only if one would get the full value. year ago one of the French designert— brought out this fashion of satin vests with collars attached, fastened down the front with a separate row of small, fancy buttons as an adjunct to dark blue frocks that were built to look ltke coat suits. One of the most attractive of these was of dark blue serge, with a chemisette and a high, straight, flar- ing collar of asphalt satin. The edg®s were finished with a tiny cable cord of the material and small buttons of carved, smoked pearl. The taffeta used in these new vestees is very soft and therefore it fits in with all of the spring fabrics. It is used in these little accessories in rose pink deep mauve, mint green and broad ai- rectoire stripes. Another spring novelty that promises to be most popular is the Russiar blouse put up in exquisite, ornate ma- terials. Some of these latest fads siiy over the head, and others fasten with a variety of pretty buttons and frogs. Georgette crape, chiffon and silver or gold brocades are used for these charming blouses. A popular model fs of white georgette crape trimmed with ball satin buttons and a pale pink crushed girdle of taffeta ribbon. The peplum and bottom of the bodice are beautifully embroidered in white floss. Extremely pretty net frocks, em- broidered and lace trimmed, are among the new spring models, as they alwaye are, for the net-frock is a useful and safe “filler” for any wardrobe and can be worn the year round for some pur- poses. A high necked model with s deep cape of the net covering the bod’* ice from a shallow shirred and corded yoke to the top of a wide girdle of gorgeous brocade ribbon is new and has evidently interested many buyers, but, though the high necked bodice and blouse are still insistent and will prob- ably be very modish throughout the spring, high necked arrangements never succeed to any great extent in & summer season. American women, though still ready to adopt freakish fashions, do insist upon comfort more than they did in former years, and s mode thoroughly uncomfortable is nof likely to make any wide appeal. One of the smartest one plece frocks designed for early spring wear is of. white chiffon broadcloth. The bodice is severely plain with a high directoire collar bound with white silk braid an¢ fastened snugly about the neck with two white pearl buttons. The sleeves are cut in one with the bodice and are bell shaped, flaring wide below the els bow Gorgeous' bits of color are added t¢ black, white or soft toned frocks" through the wonderful brocade ribbone in which color and metal riot, and though the wide girdle does not play so important a role as it once did thert are still enough wide girdle models to prove opportunity for easy introduc- tion of these wide soft ribbons.
