Black and White in Ladies’ Apparel

Th£ disappearing waistline characterises the collections of mid-season dresses that Paris dressmakers have prepared for their private trade. These have no waistline—no girdle, no belt and no ornamentation of any kind to mark the dividing line. At first sight, writes a fashion correspondent in the New York Tribune, these extremely straight dresses appeared to be trying, but tested on many types of figures they have been found generally becoming. This form Is particularly well adapted to the street dress or coajt with heavy bands of fur on the edge of the skirt to weight It. It also adapts itself to the aprun style of dress, where one robe seemingly slips on over another. Handsomely embroidered and appliqued evening dresses frequently have no waistline. In fact, many of the newest models now recall the famous tube dress of pre-war days launched by Paul Poiret and the dominating factor In the fashions of 1911-’l2. The Parisienne evinces great Interest in black and white at the present time. Many of the loveliest winter dresses have a touch of ermine as a relief from their sombre black. It is also quite the fashion to use the lingerie finish at the neck and sleeves, which may be of fine lace, a fold of white georgette crepe or of white organdie. Many black dresses that are bordered with fur, notably with caracul or broadtail, have an inside finish of white lingerie; that is to say. real iace, hand embroidery, hand-drawn organdie or handkerchief linen. Touches of White on Black. Floating panels of white are often half concealed under dresses which have overlapping fronts. Tiny pipings of white and inside facings are also much noted on black dresses. White bids fair to be a big winter vogue at the Southern vesorts. Many of the new tailored suits are In white velours de laine and white broadcloth trimmed with brown or black fur. Vlonnet has a charming coat, prepared for Monte Carlo, in which the entire upper part Is of sealskin and the skirt and lower half of the bell sleeves are of white broadcloth. Madeleine et Madeleine show a lovely new white suit in their most recent collection. This suit is trimmed with lapin ombre, a beautiftil new finish in rabbit fur which gives it an appearance of dark sable. Across the front of the jacket is a deep Iwrder of this dark brown fur. It forms a sort of triangle shape just where the front laps. This house has another white cloth and fur combination in the form of a full-length coat of broadcloth. The fur is Introduced In the form of a band of lapln ombre on the long scarf of white broadcloth, which passes around the neck and falls the full length of the coat back and front. White satin evening dresses are being shown with borders and bands of black fur. White crepe de chine and white crepe marocain uresses often show touches of black in the form of inside panels or linings to scarf-like cravats which twist about the neck. White velvet-evening dresses are embroidered in jet and brilliants, in imitation of onyx and diamonds. The pure white shoe is rarely ever seen, but black and white combinations are much liked. White silver slippers show onyx buckles, giving the effect of black and white in . evening shoes. But black and white by no means monopolize the stage. Blue is again to be taken up strongly in Paris. After almost a surfeit of beige and brown, blue comes as an Interesting relief. Callot and Chanel are responsible for the introduction of this color. Both, of these important makers have used

Cloche Hat Holds Popularity

The cloche hat is perennial in Paris. Nothing yet has been found to displace It in popularity. Everybody prophesied that it could not last and yet It seems more in favor than ever. Women with shingled hair. <rf which there are a multitude in Paris, find that the cloche bat Is the only form that can be becomingly worn. The straight brim hat or the upturned brim is hideous with the shingled head. One wonders if won.en will ever go back to loug hair again. It seems as if every woman were shingled nowadays, the grandmother, mother and daughter, ranging from five years to seventy-five. More conservative women, who dare not because of their husband's or some other male’s prejudice to crop the hair, are buying shingled wigs. It Is a perfect madness In Paris. The doebe hat must survive as long as the shingled head remains ’.he fashion. Practically every actress in Paris has her hair cut. Almost every role Is played with the shingled bead. The leading role in "Carmen.” in “Louise”

Ornamented Coat* of Velvet, London Fashion

One new model shown in London, an evening coat of black velvet, has an ornamental pond with swans and water lilies floating and a background of rushes and trees, all worked in natural colorings. Byzantine embroidery of elaborate stained-glass window order • will also be used extensively. Color is somewhat controversial. Most of the big dressmakers state . that the dominant colors through the winter will be the twin greens, olive and almond, with browns, mostly golden and russets, as nex; favorites. Others, however, persist that the next six months In London will be gorgeous on«S. so far as the eolor of evening gowns and cloaks are concerned. These dressmakers are making much of soft Persian reds and vivid blues and every shade of that delicate hue which the dress artists call orchid. The vogue fro two fabrics continues, a flat and a raised surface being the -newest combination, not necessarily tn two colors. For instance, a henna brown reps model has thick pipings of

considerable blue in - their recent collections. Women formerly fond of blue and,who have been deprived of the pleasure of matching their eyes through fashion's decree in favor of black or brown have joyfully gone back to cerulean blue. Blue Satin or Crepe de Chine. Chanel Is making afternoon dresses in a lovely shade of medium blue satin or crepe de chine, and at the sam< time is lining fur coats to match iq the same celestial shade. Callot bag a great many evening dresses in blue. Jean Patou also uses blue and Drecoll reports great success in this color. Paris manufacturers of dress accessories. such as Judith Barbier and Natalie Bourseui. are selling blue fans and corsage ornaments and blue head dresses. Shoemakers are taking many orders for evening slippers in deep blue. Many blue kid slippers and low cut shoes are being worn on the street, The navy blue serge suit is coming back into Its own. Another color favorite is old-fash-ioned flesh pink. Callot.

Many ot these are embroidered in brilliants ia widely scattered all-over patterns. Callot also embroiders flesh ptnk ip gold. There are many lovely new dresses developed in flesh pink chiffon and sheer lace dyed to match. One has always associated the idea of pale pink with young girls, but matrons have taken it up now and It is the nexj favorite to pure white. Metal cloths are again very popular and many of the most elaborate evening dresses are being developed in metal, usually In the hammered patterns in preference to the ordinary brocade. The plain or fulgurante, or brilliant surface metal cloths are also in high fa<or. The hammered metal cloths are often In patterns taken from the Renaissance, appearirg almost like the work of goldsmiths, Imitating as they do the effect of repousse and hammered metals. Gold and silver embroideries on laces and nets are again noted as well as rite all-metal laces.

and in all the modern drama is interpreted by bobbed-hair actresses. In fact, the whole idea of feminine beauty seems to have changed. A woman glories now In the shingled head rather than in long hair. Lanvin is showing, tn addition to her many cloches, hats that are frankly Oriental turbans. Other turbans with curious brims which turn up look almost like Egyptian and HindoChinese ornaments which adorn the sacred temples. Evidently Imnvin has taken her millinery inspiration from this source. A New Valance. Interest will often be restored to windows, too long familiar by the application of a scalloped ribbon valance, hung straight across the top of the window. In order to make the valance lay flat «od straight—a style being used in many newly-designed rooms—glue It to the woodwork. A smart tailored effect win be the result. The glue will not damage the ribbon If the best quality Is used.

All Colors to Youth. | All colors are possible to yonth and It Is not uncommon nowadays to be shown adorable little frocks of orange, deep violet, pale-green and orchid, colors which a few years agn had no place in the juvenile wardrobe. Even black is worn by the very small person, but It Is so cleverly treated and given such an engagingly youthful aspect by the gayest of silk or wool embroideries or by appliqued designs of pastel-colorefl satin or taffeta that one only wonders why no one ever thought of them bo> fore. Dressy Evening Bags. Bags for the evening come in all ths pastel shades of taffeta and are mads in layers of petals of the silk thickly sprinkled with brilliants.

over pastry and one is often puzzled as to bow to utilize it. Here are a few suggestions: , Tarts are delicious tidbits and may be prepared “on purpose” or with left-over pastry. Roll out very thin and cut with a biscuit cutter

Into rounds; in even numbers. Take half of the rounds and with a large thimble make small holes in the circles of pastry—three makes an attractive number. Bake the tarts, spread jelly on the circles and cover with the perforated ones. If one has less time, roll and cut the pastry into- triangles and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and bake. These may be served with a hot sauce as dessert if liked. Pastry shells may be made to use filled with preserves, jams or with sweetened fresh fruit. Roll the pastry and line muffin pans or cover the bottoms, then bake. Roly Poly.—Roll out a small circle of pastry, making as large a one as the size of the family warrants. In the center place chopped apples and raisins, using three times as much apple as raisins. Roll up, place in a deep baking dish and, cover with enough brown, sugar to sweeten; add a tablespoonful or two of butter. Pour over boiling hot fruit juice, cider, or boiling water to cover, and bake In a moderate oven for at least an hour.. Usually there will be sauce enough to serve; if not, serve with cream and sugar. Cheese Straws.—Roll the pastry very thin, cover with grated cheese, season with a dash of cayenne; soft cheese may be used but will need much seasoning. Fold up in thirds, folding in the cheese, roll again into a |opg, narrow sheet, cut into narrow strips and bake in a hot oven until brown. Small, fancy cakes may be made by baking the pastry cut Inta circles; put them together with a filling of cream, or jam or jelly. Cover with whipped cream and serve for a most dainty dessert. One of the advantages of living long in the world is that one stead- • ily acquires an increasingly interesting point of view. Even in Middle life one begins to see for one’s self the evolution of things. One gets a glimpse of the procession o- etents, the march of the generations.—Cornelia A. P. Comer. SEASONABLE DISHES These dishes are served and enjoyed any time of the year, but are

especially favored during the winter months: Chili Con Carne.—Take one-half pound of fresh lean and fat pork, one and pounds of round steak, three goodsized onions, two cans of kidney beans, one chill pepper, two quarts ot to-

mato, salt, pepper, and chili powdertwo or three tablespoonfuls. , Chop or gtiAi the meat —It Is much nicer chopped—brown the meat with the chopped onions, then add all the other ingredients except the beans, which will be added just long euoueh to beat thoroughly. Cook slowly for three hours, stirring often. Kfemove the chili pepper after the dish is well seasoned with If, cr it may be too hot. Sweet Potatoes, Southern Style.— 801 l or steam three medium-sized sweet potatoes. Pare, slice and place in rows of overlapping slices in a shallow baking dish. Add to one-half cupful of water one cupful of brown sugar and two tablespoonfuls of butter, mixed, with one-half teaspoonful of cinnamo'h. Cook these for ten minutes until sirupy. Add one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and pour over the sliced potatoes In the baking dish. Bake covered W minutes, then bake five minutes until lightly browned. Serve from the baking dish. \ Braised Duck and Apples.—Truss a duck as for roasting and plkce in a roasting pan with slices of bacon under and over it. Place around it six small sour apples, cored and pared, and six medium-sized potatoes. Sprinkle over all a teaspoonful of dried herbs. Pour over one cupful of rich, highlyflavored stock, cover the pan and let cook in a moderate oven for two boors. Serve with very fine chopped celery mixed with one-fourth as much grated horseradish. Heat the relish for a minute in the braising pan. after the duck and apples have been removed. Curried Vegetables.—Cook one cupful each of potato and carrot, diced. In salted boiling water. Drain and add one cupful of peas and curry sauce. Prepare thfc sauce by cooking two tablespoonfuls of butter and a sliced small onion until yellow, add two rablespoonfuls of flour mixed with salt and pepper and one-half teaspoonful of curry powder, pour over one ! cupful of milk. Cook until smooth, ; strain over the vegetables, sprinkled with parsley. Artificial Lighting. It has been computed that there are four times as many artificial lighting hours in winter as in summer. One and a half hours cover the use of light In the average residence in June. While six and a half hours is the average time for December. Chancs for a Comeback. It may be true that the old home ain't what it used to be, as the song says, but some of its glory could be recovered if rhe girls would learn how to make r«®l pie.—Wabash Times-Star,

LIBRARY IS VITAL NEED It Furnishes Complementary Facilitiei for Public Education. Says National Bureau. The public library as a vital neef to the community is discussed In i recent statement of the bureau of edu cation at Washington, which find* that its presence is of paramount Im portance as an adjunct to the ednea tlonal facilities of the city or village "No community is completelj equipped with facilities for public edu cation unless, in addition to adequate schools, it has also a public library accessible to gaining general recognl tion. It is an indispensable adjund to thg public school, in that It provides classroom libraries and collateral reading for the pupils and supplies means for them to form the habit of reading, and to acquire a facility In the use of reference books which will be of practical advantage to them throughout life. “The purposes for which people read may be classed under the heads of Information, inspiration and recreation, and the public library supplies literature for each of these ends. In the practical affairs of life the library is a constant aid In all the various occupations for the farmer, mechanic, business man and professional worker, and enables one to increase his efficiency " in his present vocation and also, if desired, to prepare himself for something better. The public'library also contributes no small part to public education as to the bulwark of good citizenship and patriotism. < “The public library as an Institution fosters a sturdy Americanism and a democratic co-operation for civic improvement among all classes in the community. In view of the Important public service rendered by this institution, It Is proper to maintain a library at public expense from the proceeds of taxation. ,r Every community, no matter howsmall. should either have its own public library or access to library service from some near-by convenient source.” s TO FREE CITY FROM DEBT “Ben” Franklin’s Object Lesson In Thrift Emulated by Milwaukee Resident. Benjamin Franklin’s notable* object lesson in thrift, when he left £I,OOO to accumulate for 100 years for division between Philadelphia and Boston, has Inspired Thomas Duncan, secretary to Mayor Daniel W. Hoan of Milwaukee, to originate the First Civic Foundation of Milwaukee. Through the workings of this permanent endowment fund and the operation of the new public debt, amortization fund It is expected to free the city from public debt within the next fifty years. The foundation, unique in the United States, receives and holds bequests and donations to the city. From the endowment fund thus established the earnings In the form of Interest will be used to pay the principal and interest of the bonded debt of the municipality. The payments will be made In this manner: For the first 25 years. Milwaukee will receive one-fourth of the net Income; for the next 25 years, onehalf of the net Income; thereafter, seven-eighths of the net Income. This apportionment makes provision for always leaving a fractional portion of the Income to be added to the principal. By means of the foundation the city gains a constantly increasing source of revenue, wholly Independent of that part of its Income which i# raised by taxation. The (Trie Foundation fund Is complementary to the public debt amortization fund, established by the last legislature, which In Its first year of operation had $400,000 on hand. Country Versus Town Life. Ts chance or design divorces us for W time from our town lives, where space seems to be in inverse ratio to rent, and the kitchenette and the grocer’s package seem to demand that the housekeeper shall never look beyond thehmmediate meal, we may find the leisured thought and the balanced mind that we need If we deliberately seek the conditions where the churn and the garden seed still regulate the family timetable. It Is good for us sometimes to be where the rotation of crops Is no mere phrase In a gardening manual; where the quiet succession of potatoes, com, root- vegetables and oats, clover and ' timothy sweeps across the land, changing old-worn fields Into “new meadow” In the course of the years. It Is good for us to be with jieople who perforce must think in years, not In hectic, staccato, train-catching minutes.—Scribner’s Magazine. Cost of Building Doubles. The dimly- remembered dollar of tpi.t—the statistician’s favorite basic dollar —will buy $0.52 worth of building materials in 1923, members of the •National Association of Real Estate Boards who must deal with the average man’s conception of building values may have use for knowing. Invested in lumber it will buy - $0.47 worth, in common brick $0.46 worth, tn structural steel $0.60 worth, and in other building materials $0.58 worth, on a basis of the average 1913 price. Whsn Chicago Was Settled. The site of Chicago was discovered in 1673, but the first house was not built until 1779, by Jean Baptiste Point de Sglble. In 1796 he sold his claim to Le Mai, a French fur trader who in turn sold to John Klnzie, the first white man to make his home there. In 1803 Fort Dearborn was erected on the south bank of the river.
