"JUST HOME" FROCKS -U (f ii WtJfw bud ' 8i yk i-'nviv BY BETTY BROWN These two sketches were, made to please the captious taste of an Octo ber bride, but there is no reason why you and I and others who sometimes wear housefrocks should not slant an eye upon them, and mayhap -copy , the pretty things. The model at the left is simplicity itself and though the original is made in Georgette crepe in pale blue with border of Oriental embroidery, the frock would be pretty enough in voile, challie, poplin or some delicate ly colored wash fabric. It is made all in a piece, with the full skirt gathered into a saucy frill marking a high waistline. The lounging robe at the right is in buff color crepe de chine .trimmed with old blue embroidery. The coat is cut in paints, each point tabbed with a blue tassle. The ribbon at the bust line is also blue. Any of the' pretty wash materials, especially voile, would make up pret tily in this style. SWEET POTATO FRITTERS Use left-over sweet potatoes cooked by any process. Mash or rub through a vegetable press. To two cups of potato add one cup of milk, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon butter, a little salt and the yolks of two beaten eggs. Shape into thin cakes, dip into the beaten whites of the eggs, then into cracker crumbs, dip a second time in the white of an egg and cracker crumbs and set in ice box to chill. Fry in deep fat and serve with lemon sauce. o o A. H. Franke of Manitowoc, Wis., heard about people who could not get seats and patented a cane that unfolds into a stool. . . , it'AtAj;AAAAAAiXA4'
