Cooking in 1815 Was on Large Scale Twenty Pounds of Flour Put in Cake, Book of Recipes Shows. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Tliiim Woman'll Pair Editor CURVES may have been the fashion 118 years ago, but cook books of that day would lead us to believe that there were a few who guarded th°ir figures as jealously as 1933 modems. But as we read the recipe for the diet bread of 1815, we are somewhat doubtful of the soundness of the reducing theory propounded. This

bread called for one pound sugar and nine eggs; beat for an hour. Add to fourteen ounces flour a spoonful rose water, one of cinnamon or coriander; bake quick.” I had*the pleasure of reading the tiny 1815 edition cook book at one of the city's most fascinating homes. The owner is a charming hostess, who loves

her antiques because of the family sentiment connected with them. She never has bought an antique; her home, with its old, inherited furnishings, is linked with much of America's early history. This particular book Is "calculated for the improvement of the rising generation of females in America.’ I detected a spirit of revolt. The authoress writes in the preface: "The world, and the fashion thereof, is so variable that old people can not accommodate themselves to the various changes and fashions which daily occur; they will adhere to the fashion of their day. and will not surrender their attachments to the good old way—while the young and the gay bend and conform readily to the taste of the times and fancy of the hour.” New Year's Was Big Day New Year’s apparently was the occasion for gathering together all the family and neighbors for celebration. For the "New Year’s cake,” fourteen pounds of flour, one quart of yeast, five pounds of sugar and four pounds of butter were just a few of the ingredients. On election day, the cook must have been up to the elbows in dough. For her “election” cake she used thirty quarts of flour, ten pounds butter, fourteen pounds sugar twelve pounds of raisins, three dozen eggs, one pint wine, one quart brandy and so on and on. Independence day obviously was celebrated in a great big way. The "independence’’ cake called for twenty pounds flour, fifteen pounds sugar, ten pounds butter, four dozen eggs, one quart wine, one quart brandy, five pounds each of numerous spices and one quart yeast. Large Quantities Common For just every day meals a “plain cake” sufficed with its nine pounds of flour, three pounds of sugar, three pounds of butter, three pints of milk, nine eggs, one gill of rose water and one gill of wine. Single recipes called for as many a.s six chickens and fourteen and fifteen pounds of beef. Herbs and quarts of wine gave flavor. Conclusive proof that the basements, or their counterparts, served much the same duties as today is given on the last page, which'includes directions for making 4>eer.

Gowns in Musical Show, ‘Roberta,’ Probably Will . Go Far in Fashion World Costumes Are by Kiviette, Whose Creations Made Their First City Appearance at Block’s This Autumn. BY HELEN LINDSAY THE enthusiasm with which women have accepted the current fashions probably will be duplicated in the interest displayed in the presentation of anew musical comedy, "Roberta.” It opened at the New Amsterdam theater in New York. "Roberta” really is a glorified fashion show, taken from a novel by Alice Duer Miller. Gowns for it have been designed by Kiviette. creator of fashions for other stage successes, and recently added to the list of couturiers for women in this country. A number of gowns designed by Kiviette have been introduced to Indianapolis in the French salon of the William H. Block Company, during

the last few months. The story of the play is built around the experiences of a young six-foot football hero, who inherits an exclusive dressmaking establishment. The actresses are given an excellent opportunity to display gowns in the current fashions, developed in elaborate fabrics and design. Organdy evening frocks are shown in the opening scene, at a fraternity dance. They are of varied tints, and show ruffles and flounces in charming, youthful manner. Vivid contrasts are introduced in the mannequin parade, with gowns in cutout design, velvets slashed at the back and long panel trains. One costume is of vivid fuchsia color, worn with an ostrich boa draped from a wide brimmed hat, and over the arm. a a a Two Foxes Trim White Gown

A PATTERNED taffeta blouse is worn with a grey velvet skirt and a flame colored wide brimmed hat. One of the most unusual costumes is of white brocade, with sweeping train, and two dark foxes attached to the hem. With this gown, a Paquin wrap of eight silver foxes is worn. Lyda Roberti, who takes the part of the “star customer” in the comedy, makes her entrance in a red metal spotted crepe, with metal lace bodice. The sleeves are full, and the dress is worn with a gold fringed sash. Another of Miss Roberti’s costumes is of yellow crepe, trimmed lavishly with red fox. It is made with a high stock collar and a double pleated jabot, held by a jeweled pin. tt a a ts a White Metal Brocade Is Outstanding TWO gowns worn by Miss Helen Gray, who takes the role of an American girl in the play, are outstanding. One is a white metal brocade evening gown, made with a slim drape of the fabric across the top of an extremely low cut bodice and flared skirt. The other gown also shows the flared skirt. It is made to fit tightly to the knees, where it swirls in a flare to the floor. This gown is of chartreuse satin, with bodice cut out at front as well as in back. Fay Templeton, who takes the part of “Aunt Minnie,” the old aunt of the hero, and the founder of the dressmaking salon, wears matronly costumes of black sheer. While the play, of course, is of vast intereift from an entertainment standpoint, fashion authorities are anticipating reproductions of many of the styles shown in it in designs for fashionable women in real life.
