MILLINERS MAY CONSIGN FELT HAT TO BACKGROUND

Straws Due to Dominate, Is Indication BY FRANCES PAGET. Written for the United Prer*. NEW YORK. Feb. 6.—The felt hat. long considered one of the most reliable Items in a woman’s wardrobe, apparently is to be replaced this spring with straw models From more than 100 hats exhibited in the Hotel Astor ballroom by the Retail Millinery Association of America, it was apparent that the straw hat was coming back. They were shown in weaves that made them easily distinguishable, most of them having a highly lustrous finish. TTie dressier models were in hair braid, many of them combining either plain straw with a lacy edge or with flange of net or lace. A stage setting of a blue sea was carried out in the ballroom, possibly in compliment to the season’s best color for hats, blue. Embody Long Back Off-the-face types of hats prevailed, most of them embodying the long back and the side movement. The larger hats were the exception, for many of them had shallow' uacks, which were folded and held either by a flower or a bow. Trimmings continue to be minimized. but this year’s models achieve an air of formality quite independent of trimmings. The effect is brought about by a carefully worked out silhouette and the use of hair and fine braids. Appliques of contrasting straws, often applied diagonally across the crown and the brim, were among the trimmings featured. Velvet riboon was another material used. Black Emphasized In the general style show r that was held in connection with the hat exhibition, black was emphasized at the expense of all other colors. There were numerous all-black costumes completed by long black gloves and worn with black hats of high lustre. In some iastances, w'hite fox furs were introduced effectively with the black ensembles. Repeating the color of the hat in the shoes was another style note of the evening. Unlike previous years' , sports costumes were minimized. Compromise on Skirt Jin United /‘rex* KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 6. Southwestern fashion buyers have d’scovered the long and short of it in milady’s wardrobe and in another month the buyers will open their trunks to the fashion counters of the midwest, showing the “longshort skirt.” This apparel apparently Is a compromise between Paris dictators, who would clothe the ankle in a hemline, and American women who won’t be hobbled. Before hundreds of southwestern fashion buyers here, mannikins shoved the calendar a month ahead and paraded in chiffons, jaunty spring suits and flowered gowns. Long gowns of the afternoon and evening were the order, but interest centered in the new street apparel which dictates a hemline which will hide the knee, and is described as “neither long nor short, but both.” j ——- Dr. Richardson to Introduce Psychologist Dr. W. L. Richardson, head, of the education department of Butler university, will introduce David Seabury, New York psychologist, when he lectures on “The Riddle of Human Relations,” before the Irvington School 57.

PARIS, Feb. 6. T HERE’S a certain type of so-called afternoon tfotvn very much in evidence these days, which is just about right for the average semiformal case dining. It is just exactly suited to the rather formal tea in your own home or someone else’s; the dressy type of bridge party; case dinner and dancing; and a theater party for any type of theater except the opera, perhaps. It is long, ob yes! And rather decollete, although certainly not as decollete as an evening gown. Still, the front decolletage is fairly high

Family Menu

BY SISTER MARY NEA Service Writer The cook who would serve her potatoes at their best never lets them stand after they are ready for the table. A potato really is a delicate vegetable and should be as carefully cooked and handled as asparagus. There are so many interesting ways of cooking potatoes that it seems a pity so many families eat them mashed day after day. At this time of the year particularly, when fresh vegetables are high and scarce, attractive potato dishes do much to help in providing appetizing meals. Many dishes made with leftover meats use potatoes for a foundation. Combinations of this sort are nourishing and high in food value. Served with a green salad they supply balanced menus at low cost. a a st Potato Croquettes Four or five medium sized potatoes, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon salt, teaspoon pepper, 1 tablespoon minced parsley, 1 egg, milk. Wash potatoes and put on to cook in cold water. Boil forty-five to sixty minutes until done. Drain and shake over fire until perfectly dry. Peel and put through a ricer. Season with salt, pepper, parsley | and butter. Beat egg and beat into mixture. | Add enough milk to make moist, i beating until well blended. Let cool and form into small balls. Roll in fine dried bread crumbs, dip in egg j slightly beaten and roll again in I crumbs. Drop into deep hot fat and fry to ; a golden brown. The fat should be hot enough to brown an inch cube of soft bread in forty seconds, or a fat thermometer should register 385 degrees F. e a a 4 Potato Ribbons Peel potatoes and let stand in ice water for half an hour. Cut a thick paring round and round the potato and drop into ice water. Let ! stand an hour and dry between towels. Cut in six-inch lengths and tie in loose knots. Drop into deep hot fat and fry a golden brown. The fat for these potatoes should be lyt enough to brown an inch cube of bread in sixty seconds or 375 degrees F. Wedding Nightie Paris sends us a wedding nightie made of white Ninon, with and exquisite little square yoke with puff sleeves of Alencon lace in off-white.

i and cut square, and the back often comes to a fairly low point. The elegantly fitted bodice and | molded skirt I leave to your imagination, but, lest your imagination be not quite up to it, I must men- | tion the narrow insets of material | from the knee, which are allowed ;to fall in uneven points to the | ground. t> n * BUT the particular characteristic of this type of very dressy after- ! noon gown is the floating cape, I which drips longer over one shoulder than the other, and is usually shorter at the front than at the back. j Or else it has a sleeveless bolero, | quite high of decolletage, which is | worn right over the dress’ fairly low I decolletage. I have in mind Mag-Helly’s black tulle veritable evening gown with its hand-incrusted horsehair trimming, 1 and its detachable sleeveless bolero, : which makes this type of afternoon i frock out of the evening gown. S And Ardansrs divine white chiffon gown, with its removable jacket of the most fragilely delicate black shadow lace! a n The Couturier MAG-HELLY is all one name. you know—and this one you say all in one breath, as well. But you say “mag-el-lee,” with an imperceptible accent on the middle syllable. This is the house that goes in for celebrities, you know. No. they haven't made us any special outfits yet! BUM If you're really going to make that automobile trip this spring, I know just the thing for you to wear with your suit—even if you don't go, as a matter of fact! You’ll need a hat, bag and scarf ensemble to wear with a coat or suit. And by ensemble I mean, it matches either in material or design or incrustation or what- | not I mean, well, why don’t you send your 2-cent stamp self-ad-dressed envelope to the Dare Department of The Times for the illustrated leaflet, ahd just see what I do mean, ’cause I’ve thought up some really chic suggestions for your spring hat, bag i and scarf ensemble —or maybe, | ensembles (plural). ana Au Revoir!

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Let Hubby Take Over Household BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON A letter from a woman who gives no street address necessitates an answeer through this column. Her problem is a baffling one, but familiar to many wives. She writes; “We are 40. There are three chil- | dren, the youngest just entering | school. For the first time my husDand insists that, now that they are away all day, I have nothing to do and should find some outside work. I do everything in the house, including washing, ironing, cleaning and some sewing, yet to him I do nothing. “Nor do I mean that exactly as it sounds. Except that he does not understand why I should not find outside employment because he thinks an hour a day should take care of the work at home.” It’s One of Wildest Well, this poor soul has one consolation, at any rate. She is not married to the only bonehead in the world. One of the wildest statements ever put out by any man is to the effect that he could turn off the housework in a jiffy and have all the day to loaf. As for this particular husband, we must take it for granted that he is an intelligent man. He should be, as he is a teacher. That being the case, the sensible thing for the misunderstood and underrated wife to do is to call a family conference and discuss the thing frankly. She should induce him to take over her job for a week or two—the Christmas holidays would have been an ideal time for this innovation—and demonstrate his theories to her. It’s Real Cure Certainly he could hardly refuse to put them into practice for her benefit. Then, when he has shown how w'ell and quickly he can manage the work, including washing and ironing for a family of five, she should be willing to admit herself incapable and set about hunting something else to do. This is the only way that men can be cured of making such rash statements. Whenever they actually do housework as easily and nonchalantly as they insist it should be done, they will be awarded the palm for efficiency, and I feel sure no woman will grudge it them. Moreover, if they are so clever at housework, which is qonceded to be one of the most important of all jobs, why not permit them to take it over entirely? No person who is so skilled at anything as they claim to be at domestic tasks should be w'asting his talents in other ways. Woman Judge Will Speak at City Luncheon Judge Florence E. Allen of the Ohio supreme court, the only woman supreme court justice in the United States, will talk on “Speeding Up Justice,” at the luncheon meeting of the Indianapolis League of Women Voters, to be held at the Claypool Wednesday. The talk will be in line with the current discussion at all civic cluds and organizations throughout Indianapolis on crime prevention. Judge Allen has made an extensive study of this question in England as well as the United States and is a nationally recognized authority on the subject. Mrs. Thomas D. Sheerin is president of the local League of Women Voters.

“Betty was delicate and fretful.” says Mrs. H. G. Shawver, 719 North Grant street, Indianapolis. “She was sallow and bilious, didn’t have any appetite; couldn’t digest her food. “California Fig Syrup has changed all that. It regulated her bowels quickly; improved her apppetite and digestfbn. She has improved right along until friends say she’s a regular prize winner for health.” Mothers by thousands praise California Fig Syrup. Physicians indorse it. Its rich, fruity flavor appeals to children; its pure vegetable goodness Is safe for any child. The prompt relief it brings bilious, headachy. constipated children lasts; because It helps tone and strengthen bowels and stomach. Next time bad breath, coated tongue or feverishness warn of constipation, try it with your child and see how it helps. When buying look for the namf, California! That marks the genuine, famous for fifty years.—Advertisement.
