The New Hosiery
Double Stocking of Glove Silk,
One of the Latest.
Unprecedented Demand for Woolen
and Silk-and-Woo'.en Article
la the Prediction.
What will happen to the glory of
stockings now that they are to be
enveloped by yards of ripping silk is
a question whose answer hosiery
manufacturers would probably give a
lot to know, observes a fashion writer
In the -Chicago Journal.
Will the economical miss decide
that since they do not show it is fool
ish to invest in chiffon, lace-clocked or
sheerest silk stockings? Will she not
rather put her stocking money into
skirts? Some say yes; some say no.
But, surely, if she cares to buy “fus
sy” hosiery she never had better op
portunity for real worth and dainti
ness. One of the newest and most at
tractive models Is a double stocking
of glove silk. The outside sheath Is
black, woven In a stripe pattern, alter
nating stripes being transparent,
through which the inner stocking of
white shimmers faintly.
Other stockings have sheer lace In
serts in front, ami while the embroid
ered clock on any except woolen
stockings seems to be waning, lace
clocks are found in the new’ models
and are much in demand.
Silk that simulates wool is one of
the new’est developments in the stock
ing world and one that will be wel
comed by women who like the semi
sport costume for business, yet who
also demand the comfort of silk stock-

HAND-MADE BLOUSE IS POPULAR

Throughout Fall and Winter;
Voile and Lace Used.
Ihind-mndp binuses have made an
enviable place for themselves the last
season, and nil signs Indicate that
their popularity Is to continue for fall

News. The advance line contains
many Interesting features.
Real Irish Ince in its loveliest pat
terns is most extensively used as a
trimming for these Porto Rican
blouses, and antique filet and the
usual filet also shown. These fine
French voile waists are made for all
year-’round wear, but each season pre
sents Its new style, and this year a
new color Is Introduced. “Radio” is
the name given to a most agreeable
gray tone featured for fall. The fine
voile in which it Is shown looks like an
exceptionally good-looking georgette.
Those numbers of handsomest at
tainments present an all-over lacey as
pect that Is achieved by a profusion of
Irish lace Introduced In squares and
eased Into the voile by tiny inserting
of real hand-made val in ecru color.
These portions of the waist that are

—brown and tun mixtures with tiny
flecks of heliotrope, mixtures where
blue is the predominating color, and
there are those with green dominat

Dealers predict an unprecedented
sale of woolen and silk-and-woolen
stockings for this season. Again the
long skirt is the cause —in cold weath
er wool stockings undoubtedly are
more comfortable than the trimmer
looking silk. Hidden beneath a long
skirt, their bulkiness becomes a neg
ligible consideration, and many women
who before refused them will welcome
their warmth.
Gunmetal is one of the newest and
most popular colors found in the sea

tan, rich brown—ln fact, any of the
varying shades of brown whose nam

The lighter tan shades are, of
course, giving way to the darker as
the season advances and the “nude”
color, so popular last spring, is passe.

lighter colors —blues, pink, coral,

TO APPLY BUTTON TRIMMING
Use Cardboard on Which Buttons
Were Bought and the Spots
as Guide for Sewing.
When an even number of buttons are
to be used ns trimming an easy way
to apply them evenly la to use a strip
of the cardboard on which the buttons
are bought. Remove buttons from card
and punch holes on spots where but
tons were sewn. Through these holes
mark with crayon or pencil on goods
and sew buttons on these marks.

Corsets continue to be the veritable
backbone of good costumery for all ex

the professional gymnasts among
women. The season’s showing In cor
setry, however, sets forth garments as
far removed from the corsets of even
five years ago as the automobile Ir
from a pushcart. The stiff Iron-clad
cages that were own sisters to straight
Jackets, are gone forever.
Even the stoutest women are offered
dainty garments of flexibility, ease and
suppleness, with which to confine their
too enthusiastic curves. American
women find that some support for the

foreign firms are importing American

green and the smaller cork Is gilded.
They are joined by the long pin, and
Into the glided cork many pins, with
colored beads, are thrust, to form a

about the larger cork, holds small
safety pins.

NUMBER OF SALAD COMBINATIONS
IS ENDLESS—DIFFERENT RECIPES
F ' " I
A Salad of Mixed Vegetables With Cottage Cheese Makes Good Lunch Dish.
(Frtpared br the United Stat.. Department
of Agriculture.)
Sometimes a housekeeper finds she
has everything necessary for a salad
except the lettuce. In such a case the
United States Department of Agricul
ture suggests that finely shredded cab
bage, either red or white, will answer
for the r, bed” for the salad, or that
any cooked or canned vegetables, as
well ar. many fresh ones, may be
served with salad dressing without
the customary lettuce leaf. Fresh cel
ery Is an appetizing addition to most
salads when It can be obtained, but
It is not necessary. Cabbage for use
as a salad foundation should be finely
shredded, not chopped, and put in
cold water for about an hour to be
come crisp. Canned vegetables should
always be heated to the boiling point
and then cooled before using In salad.
P fferent Salad Dressings.
There are three basic salad dress
ings of which most other dressings
are adaptations. The following recipes
are tested and recommended by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture.
French Dressing.
t tablespoonfuls oil H teaspoonful salt
I tablespoonful via- teaspoonful pep
egar per
Cayenne Paprika
Blend the oil with the seasonings
and add the vinegar slowly. French
dressing may be made in quantities,
kept in a cold place and stirred or
shaken In a bottle vigorously when
needed. French dressings are prefer
able for dinner salads.
Vinaigrette sauce is made by adding
to French dressing a teaspoonful each
of chopped capers, olives, parsley and
small cucumber pickles.
Mayonnaise Dressing.
1 egg 2 tablespoonfuls
1 teaspoonful mus- vinegar
tard 2 cupfuls oil
‘i teaspoonful salt Cayenne
Place the egg, mustard, salt, cay
enne and vinegar In a bowl. Boat well
with a Dover egg beater till thorough

of the oil and beat again. Continue
adding the oil gradually until one cup-
COOK CUTS OF BEEF
IN APPETIZING WAY
Less Gas Needed for Stews Than
for Broiling.
Some Dishes Are Not in Favor Be
cause of Haphazard Manner in
Which They Are Prepared—
Much Meat Is Wasted.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
With a properly regulated flame, less
gas Is needed to prepare a stew or a
tongue or to “boil” (simmer) a piece of
corned beef, or other cheaper cuts of
beef that Is required to broil a thick
steak properly, says the United Slates
Department of Agriculture.
Stews.
Meat stews are not In great favor.
This may’ be because they are so often
prepared In a haphazard way. Try se
lecting lean beef from the neck, bris
ket, the shoulder clod, or the heel of
the round and making a brown stew.
Cut the beef Into inch cubes. Sea
son each piece, dredge thoroughly with
flour, and brown on all sides in a
frying pan using suet or drippings.
Avoid having too much fat. Then add
Just enough hot water to cover the
pieces and when this has boiled up
once pour all into a double boiler and
cook for three hours. The gravy may
need to be thickened nt the last with
a little flour. Serve with baked pota
toes, plain cooked rice, or hot biscuits.
Boiled Beef.
Strictly speaking, no meat Is ever
cooked satisfactorily by being actually
boiled in water. To prepare so-called
“boiled" beef, plunge the meat into
boiling water to harden the surface a
little and prevent too rapid an escape
of the Juices. Finish the cooking by
simmering, allowing plenty of time for
the process.
Corned Beef.
Too often corned beef is served un
derdone and a great deal of good meat
Is wasted because of this. Try cooking
n piece of corned beef by simmering
it In a liberal amount of water for from
three to six hours according to the cut.
The water In this case should be cold
when the process is begun. Beef
longue and heart are also much better
when cooked by simmering for several ,
hours or until thoroughly tender.

ful has been used, then add in larger
amounts.
Mayonnaise is liked for luncheon or
supper salads, where the salad is tho
principal dish or is preceded by a very
light course. It is considered too rich
to be appropriate for a hearty dinner.
Boiled Dressing.
*4 to ’,2 tablespoon- 1% tablespoonfuls
ful salt flour
IV4 tablespoonfuls Yolks 2
sugar IVs tablespoonfuls
1 teaspoonful mus- melted butter
tard % cupful milk
V 4 cupful vinegar
Mix dry Ingredients, add yolks of
eggs slightly beaten, butter, milk, vin
egar very slowly. Cook In a double
boiler until it thickens. Strain and
cool. This dressing is useful In a fam
ily where oil is not liked. Sweet or
sour cream may be used Instead of
milk.
Many of the cooked vegetables, such
as carrots, peas, cabbage, beets, cauli
flower, kohlrabi, or Jerusalem arti
chokes make a good salad when
served cold, either alone or In combi
nation with celery, or with several
other vegetables; canned string beans,
asparagus, beets, peas, peppers and
okra all lend themselves well to use
In salads. Asparagus is particularly
good when served hot with hot vinai
grette sauce described above.
Soup meat, which Is often discarded
because it has little flavor, still con
tains much nourishment. If cut in
pieces nnd mixed with a hot vinai
grette sauce it makes an excellent
luncheon or supper salad. When cold
it Is good in sandwiches.
Fish and meat salads are almost
complete meals. Cottage cheese salad
with mayonnaise dressing is an im
provement to many vegetable and also
to fruit salads. A spoonful may be
served on one side of the salad, or it
may be mixed with chopped nuts and
mayonnaise and made Into balls for
ga rnishlng.
When one considers that the salad
list also Includes oranges, berries, ba
nanas. either fresh or canned peaches
and pears, and other available fruits,
it is easy to see that the number of
possible combinations is endless.
I seasoned, browned In a little fat. placed
J in a covered casserole or roaster and
cooked slowly for some hours. A little
water should be added to keep the
meat moist.
It should be remembered that it Is
the long cooking at a low temperature
that brings success in the preparation
of the tougher cuts of meat.
MONEY SAVED MAKING TAPE
Many “Tricks of the Trade” Taught In
Home Dressmaking Classes—
Idea of lowa Woman.
There are many little "tricks of the
trade" taught in home dressmaking
classes conducted by extension work
ers, which are much appreciated by
mothers who must also learn bow to
economize In every way. One such
trade practice of value in home-sewing
Is the making of bias tape. An lowa
woman found she could make 4(1 yards
of bias tape from a yard of 36-Inch
material. She picked up three rem
nants of gingham nnd percale, each
piece n yard long, and at a cost of
48 cents nnd n time investment of 45
minutes made 104 yards of tape which
was one-half to three-quarters Inch
wide when finished.
