BLOUSE IN STYLE
Old Shirt Waist Has Developed
Into Real Necessity.
Present Day Garment Often Real
Work of Art; Now Jewel of the
Wardrobe.
It is indeed a far cry back to the
old-fashioned shirt waist, which served
to set the pace or blaze the frail for
the varied procession of blouses that
have followed each other down the
•passing years.
'The first blouse was really a serene-
ly tailored “shirt,” worn with a high
Collar sometimes attached. Oftentimes
It was a stiff, mannish affair, far from
comfortable and seldom really becom-
ing. A cravat or scarf was its accom-
paniment. However, as time passed,
the shirt or blouse became more dis-
tinctly feminine, and today it is often
a real work of art—the jewel of the
•wardrobe.
Figured foulard blouses are being
shown for the spring and summer, and
very attractive they are. Figured ma-
terials lend themselves best to the
simplest of style designs. The woman
who wants to make her own blouses,
but is not sufficiently skilled to work
out elaborate fashion ideas, may do
very well with lace—-which requires
only care in matching the pattern, add-
ed to good workmanship—and with fig-
ured silks, which will reward her with
satisfactory results when the same
points are considered and observed.

when the reason’s supply o? blouses
is under consideration, don’t overlook
rhe vogue lor jade green. It is very
popular this year and, when becoming,
very lovely.
IN THE FASHION LIMELIGHT
Dancing frocks are still short.
Coat dress.es are of black taffeta.
Spanish Cumbs of jade are charm-
jig.
Formal test gowns show long-cling-
ing lines.
Many "huge scarf-like effects of tulle
a^e seen.
Afternoon dresses are a trifle longer
than usual.
Plaitings are used even on lingerie
this season.
There is more and better-done trira-
ising on clothing.
TCock feathers are preferred to para-
dise for day wear.
Salmon color and silver gray is a
pretty color scheme.
UNUSUAL AFTERNOON GOWN
Navy foulard marked witn decorated
and floral designs in white. Beading
is introduced in an interesting man-
ner. The hand-embroidered collar afr
fords a dainty finish.
OUTFIT FOR SECOND WEDDING
Gown Must Be Youthful and Dis-
creetly Gay; Veil Must Be
Worn With Hat.
The church costume for the second
wedding has come to have a nevv
charm. It must, however, be a gown
of nice distinction. For the second
wedding all that tends to display must
be avoided. Yet the gown must be
youthful and discreetly gay. It is
neither an afternoon nor an evening
gown, but an Individual costume for
this special occasion.
French brides are wearing gowns
made of soft-colored satin and chif-
fons, since the white gown is out of
place.
For the church ceremony the veil
is an essential, but It differs from that
of the first wedding in that it must
always be worn with a hat. It may be
draped as a mantilla or as a slight
veil reaching to the eyes.
Another essential to the costume of
remarriage is the prayerbook. For-
tunate is the bride who can carry an
old and precious book that has long
been cherished, as the family treas-
ure !
Dyed Lace.
There Is much use of dyed lace. In
fact, by dyeing the lace to match the
frock on which it is worn it can be
used with much more variety than in
the old way. To be sure, when you
use undyed lace over another color
you have a better opportunity to 3ee
its delicate design, but that does not
seem to worry the fashionable woman
of today who is willing to pay for
more expensive laces without concern-
ing herself to show off their delicate
design. In fact, she wears her lace
quite differently from the way lace
used to be worn. Once, you know,
lace was usually applied in a smooth
piece, a collar or a bolero, or as strips,
but now even costly lace is plaited or
looped up and used with the most
amazing lavishness.
Popular Trimming.
As a trimming on both hats and
frocks, there is to be seen in Paris
most effective flowers and sprays of
raffia embroidery.
WAY OF THE TAFFETA FROCK
Garment Takes On Almost School-
Girl Air When It Is of
Navy Silk.
The way of the taffeta frock is
long this season, but for all its quips
and frills it does descend quite often
to a certain tailored primness oppro-
priate for the street. Tims it takes
on almost a school-girl air when it
is of navy silk, very soft with ac-.
cord ion-plaited skirt, long straight
bodice with tie back ends issuing from
the side seams, a yoke extending over
to the kimono sleeves, and a prim lit-
tle round collar of Itself divided
front and back. The thing that re-
deems it from monotony is a clever use
of lighter blue picoted ribbon which
ig folded over the collar, sleeves and
bodice edges to make a unique narrow
trimming.
./ The outstanding features of the taf-
V—^eta frocks—and no pun at that—are
■the bouffant hip effects. Whether
These effects are gained by pockets,
panniers, or what, at least there la al-
iways a suggestion. Vests are seen
quite often, ruffles or shirring encircle
the skirt frequently. Altogether the
1920 girl is perky and pretty in her
taffeta frock.
While a great many navy taffetas
in the plainer frocks are in evidence,
the taffeta shade of greatest favor
s.eems to be brown. This is good
news, for one does like to change from
navy serge or tricot to another color,
and those beige and sand-colored tri-
cots and gabardines of which a few
very good-looking street frocks are
made are not becoming or serviceable
enough for the majority of us.
Plain Lininas the Mode.
The unexpected always happens.
Following a huge demand for figured
fabrics, fashion decides that it is
smarter to line one’s wrap in plain
colors. Sometimes linings repeat the
color of the outer material, sometimes
they are in direct contrast to it; but
in the majority of cases the surface is
not printed. There is an inclination
to reserve figured fabrics for frocks,
many of those shown for summer be-
ing ablaze with color and design.
%eKITCnm
Nothing so needs reforming as other
people’s habits.
SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS.
A novel iced-tea combination which
we will like to try some of these warm
summer days Is
this: Prepare tea
in the ordinary
fashion, sweeten
it and let it cool.
When ready to
serve put a spoon-
ful or two of
lemon ice or
a glass and cover
m.
lemon sherbet in
with the iced tea.
Cherry Betty'.—Butter a deep dish
and cover the bottom with pitted cher-
ries. Sprinkle the fruit with sugar,
nutmeg and coconut with sufficient
cherry juice to moisten. On top of
this spread a layer of fluffy bread
crumbs; repeat until the dish is full.
Finish the top with the crumbs. Cover
and stand in the oven one hour, then
uncover and brown quickly. Serve
hot with sweetened cream as a sauce.
Currant Catsup.—Take five pounds
of currants, three pounds of sugar,
one tablespoonful of cinnamon, one
tablespoonful of allspice, one teaspoon-
ful of black pepper, one teaspoonful
of; salt and half a pint of vinegar.
Mash the currants and rub them
through a sieve; then add the other
ingredients and boil for twenty min-
utes. Bottle as you do any catsup.
This catsup has an especially delicate
flavor and is quite worth the trouble
of making.
Frozen Macedone.—Drain the juice
from a cupful of canned or preserved
cherries. Add a cupful each of
canned pears, plums and pineapple,
put through the meat chopper; add
the cherry juice, sweeten to taste. Add
one-fourth of a cupful of water- and
two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice.
Freeze the mixture except the cherries
which are stirred in when ready to
pack. Let stand several hours to
ripen.
Children are the lifeblood of the
state. They are better producers of
energy than coal or wood; they are
better than steam or electricity. So,
surely, they are much more worth the
study and consideration of the most
#minent scientists and engineers than
the wings of moths or some improve-
ment in a differential.—Judge Ben
Lindsey.
SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS.
Eggs are such nourishing food and
at this season quite plentiful, so the
housewife, who wishes to
avoid monotony will be
looking for new ways of
serving them.
Curried Eggs.—Cut
three hard-cooked eggs
in eighths, lengthwise.
Melt two and one-half
tablespoonfuls 'of butter.
Add two tabiespoonfuls
of flour and stir until well blended,
then pour on gradually, while stirring
constantly, one cupful of milk. Bring
to the boiling point and add one-third
of a teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth of
a teaspoonful of pepper, one-half tea-
spoonful of curry powder and the
eggs. Turn into a shallow buttered
dish, sprinkle with one-fourth of a
cupful of grated cheese, cover with
three-fourths of a cupful of buttered
crumbs and bake.
Savory Eggs.—Cook hard as many
eggs ns there are people to serve.
Make the same number of pieces of
toast; butter and place on a serving
dish. Cut the eggs in halves length-
wise and take out the yolks. Put the
two halves on each piece of toast.
Have ready some bits of tongue which
have been minced and with it cream
the yolks of the eggs, adding softened
butter, salt, pepper and cayenne to
taste. Pile the stuffing high in each
egg white, making a little mound,
sprinkle with fine buttered bread
crumbs and set in a quick oven to
warm through and brown the crumbs.
Have prepared a cupful "of white
sauce, or thickened canned tomatoes.
When the eggs are hot turn the sauce
over the eggs and serve at once.
Scotch Eggs.—Remove the shells
from perfectly cooked eggs, roll in egg
white then in crumbs and fry in deep
fat until a golden brown. Serve on a
platter of crisp green watercress.
Breakfast Eggs.—Put an egg for
each person in small buttered egg
shirrers. Add a tablespoonful ot
cream, sprinkle with salt and white
pepper and bake in a moderate oven
until the eggs are set.
Vassar Eggs.—Chop fine two ounces
of dried beef, add one cupful of to-
matoes, one-fourth of a cupful of grat-
ed cheese, a few drops of onion juice
and a pinch of cinnamon and cayenne.
Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter,
add the mixture, and when well heat-
ed three well-beaten eggs. Cook un-
til the eggs are creamy, stirring con-
stantly. Serve on squares of buttered
toast.

LARRY'S COMPANION.
“Larry, the monkey, was ill one day,”
said Daddy, “and Molly, the black

to tell you a
story?’

“ ‘You’re a funny
companion and
friend, Moll y,’
Larry called back,
‘but I would be
delighted to hear
your story.’
“ ‘Good,’ said
Molly, ‘and anyone else who wants to
iiear it. may listen.’
“So Molly began her story, and this
Is what the story was. It was a true
story, too, that Molly had- to tell, and
[hat was why she was so anxious to
tell It.
“ ‘You see.’ said Molly, and Larry
said: ‘I’ve good eyesight, thank you.’
“ ‘I don’t mean,’ said Molly, ‘that
I’m glad you see, but when I said you
see, I meant it as something with
which to begin my story. I needed it
to give myself a little push.’
“ ‘Oh, yes,’ said Larry, who thought
to himself it was a funny way of
giving one’s self a push, but he said
nothing more. He didn’t feel well,
and he really didn’t care to talk.
“ ‘Pray continue with your story,’
he begged.
‘“I used to be here, you know,
some time ago,’ said Molly.
“ ‘Yes, we know that,’ they said.
“ ‘Well, as long as you know it, you
needn’t talk about it,’ said Molly.
“ ‘Sorry,’ they all said.
“ ‘Go right ahead and we’ll say not
another word whether you ask us
questions or not,’ said Larry. ‘When
vou ask us questions we’ll all keep
our mouths shut tight and will know
that you mean us to listen to the
questions, but to make no replies.’
“ ‘That’s the idea,’ said Molly.
‘Well, I’m off.’
“ ‘Off?’ asked Larry, surprised. 'I
thought you were going to tell us the
story.’
‘“Well, so I am,’ said Molly, ‘if I
am ever, ever given a chance. When
I said I was off I meant that I was
starting out to tell the story.’
“All the animals kept very quiet.
“ ‘I used to he in this zoo,’ said
Molly, ‘and then a gentleman who
really owned me and who had merely
lent me to the zoo as a great favor,
took me to France with him as a mas-
cot, something that would bring him
good luck. - j
“ ‘I had a nice voyage over there’.
And after a while I came back again.
Two ocean trips I had,-very fine, in-
deed. I landed on an island out in
the great harbor of a great city, and
there I was kept with the other pas-
sengers to see if I was well and that
I could go into the city without giv-
ing the folks chicken pox or measles
or anything like that.
‘“Well, everywhere I went I was
led about on a leash, like a dog, you
know, only the leash was a chain
one.
“ ‘But after I reached the big city
I was taken in an automobile. My
master hadn’t seen the sights of the
city for so long that we took a ride
all around the city.
“ ‘How the people did stare at me.
They thought I was a sight myself,
and I didn’t tell
them that they
were the sights
and that we were
looking at them.
At least I suppose
that was why we
took the ride,
though some one
said my master
wanted to show
me off.
“I don’t like to
say that myself, it
sounds a bit con-
ceited. I’m no

a couple of years
old now. When
it is dinner time
I pay attention to
no one and noth-
ing except my dinner. At other
times I’m very friendly. Well, Larry,
do you feel better now?’
“ ‘Much better,’ said Larry. ‘That
was an Interesting story, and you’re
an Interesting black bear, Molly.’
“'Thank you,’ said Molly, ‘and I’m
back here for another stay/**

NEWS FROM
FRASER
By DOROTHY DOUGLAS |
(©. 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Fraser was a curiously inactive let-
ter writer. Even when, as an officer in
the Cameron Highlanders, he had seen
service galore and could easily have,
written reams of most interesting epis-
tles—he usually scribbled a few words
on a field card and let that suffice.
Mother, sweethearts, friends, all
waited in vain for news from Fraser.
He simply wouldn’t be induced to let
flow a lengthy thought on paper.
Neither did he break this habit when,
having taken a position in New York,
far from his a&tive Glasgow, he really
owed it to his friends and relatives to
write. Elis impressions of the much-
talked of big city should certainly have
found their way by letter across the
great pond.
But they did not and Ned McLeod,
closest of pals to Fraser, waxed elo-
quent in his expression of opinion re-
garding the closeness of the Scotch as
a rnce.
And. hoping to arouse the ire and
thereafter the penmanship of Fraser,
he scouted about Glasgow for an Amer-
ican s£amp, attached it to an addressed
envelope, inclosed a bit of blank paper
and sent it to Fraser.
“Pull yourself together, old chap and
write a line or two,” Ned had written.
He and Fraser had been pals since
the day they met as office boys and
smoked their first cigarette together.
Later they had gone to the war office
together, fought the common enemy,
refined to Mother Scotland safe and
sound; and Ned McLeod didn’t intend
to have Fraser’s lack of letter writing
stand between him and the finest
friendship two men had ever known.
And Fraser, upon receipt of the
stamped envelope, laughed good-humor-
edly. fie put in his pocket with the
inward reflection that Helen Tranvvood
might be amused with it.
Fraser was in the habit of talking
over everything that happened to him
and his with Helen. For a girl, Fraser
Jus*
Showed Her McLeod’s Letter.
considered her a most happy mixture
of pal, and, well—Fraser didn’t know
exactly what other emotion Helen was
capable of arousing in him.
He only knew that the hours spent
with her were decidedly contented
ones, and he was grateful to the lack
of convention that had thrown them
together during a cold wait on the
wharf while each was awaiting the ar-
rival of friends from the incoming Bal-
tic.
Fraser was ultra Scotch in the re-
serve of his mind, but inwardly he ad-
mitted that New York would be a cold
and ghastly place to be stationed in
were it not for the friendship of Helen
Tranwood.
They were having a cup of tea in
Helen’s studio when Fraser showed
her McLeod’s letter.
“How would you like me to write
Ned McLeod and tell him all about
you,' your business, your impressions
of New York, and all the news?”
Helen asked, half in jest, but fully
prepared to act on the impulse of t’he
moment.
Fraser gazed back at Helen, wonder-
ing if this suggestion were some more
of the American “kidding” that he^was
beginning to CQinpr#hend. He had had
many doses of that same kidding at
the merciless hands of Fleien.
The girl watched Fraser’s expressive
brown eyes while he floundered before
the un-Scotch unconventionality of her
idea.
“I think I know more about you than
most any one else does,” she added,
“and could write Mr. McLeod a regular
document of experience—if you will
let me.”
The “if you will let me” struck a
rather appealing note. Fraser laughed
at the little odd emotion it stirred
within him. He was not in the habit
of feeling any special emotion when
Helen wa? about. They were just
good pals.
“I don’t blind,” he said finally. “Ned
will appreciate bearing in so unique a
manner.”
Helen laughed. “You couldn’t possi-
bly have said ‘charming’ instead of
unique.” It was always a source of
great amusement to her that this Scot
was so averse to paying a compliment.
She delighted in trying to drag an oc-
casional one from him.
So it happened that Helen Tranwood’
and Ned McLeod established a most
interesting and frequent news service
between Glasgow and New York.
Fraser sat by much amused, and
when the letters, came to Helen from
McLeod he was not wholly conscious
that his mind leaped at hvery ex-
pressed thought therein to find out if
the news service was becoming per-
haps a trifle more personal with the
sailing of many ships.
Ele certainly detected a fast-growing
interest on McLeod’s part for Helen.
Between the lines Fraser read a stead-
ily augmenting desire for closer ac-
quaintance.
A month or two more passed and
McLeod sounded both Helen and Fras-
er as to the advisability of his crossing
to New York.
That was the first real jolt that Fras-
er’s calm mental state received.
Why should McLeod come across the
Atlantic if not because he was bent on
meeting Helen personally? Had her
letters so much power as to draw a
perfectly unknown Scot three thousand
miles—a Scot with a most level head
and an otherwise reasonable and sane
outlook on life?
And if McLeod and Helen met, was
it not more than possible that serious
consequences might follow?
Fraser pondered long and darkly on
the probability of Helen and McLeod
falling in love with one another and
the consequent loneliness that he him-
self would be flung into; the thought
was anything but pleasant.
The following day when he saw Hel-
en he questioned her as he supposed
subtly on the position of McLeod on
her horizon. Inwardly Helen laughed
while outwardly she blushed, and most
becomingly she did it.
Fraser frowned darkly. Helen was
not in the habit of flushing in that pe-
culiarly becoming way, nor of hiding
the light of her eyes from his steady
gaze.
Also Fraser could not remember Hel-
en’s having looked so alluring as she
did that afternoon in the soft gray
gown she was wearing.
“I like your new frock,” he found
himself saying.
“New?” Helen laughed her amaze-
ment. “You silly boy I have worn
it a dozen times right before your
eyes.”
Fraser was again set to thinking.
What had so suddenly thrown Helen
and her wonderful loveliness and de-
sirability in front of his mind?
Helen knew, but she was wise
enough to let Fraser discover some
things in the human relations for him-
self. She watched his tense mood,
however, with eyes that were filled
with the pity that not only is akin to
but actually is love.
Helen had not been constantly with
Fraser and known all his musings and
the very set of all his sails in the sea
of life without learning the secrets that
prompted her to fall very swiftly and
very deeply in love with him.
Try as he might, the Scot had been
unable to hide all the fineness of his
character beneath that veil of reserve
and modesty. '
“Helen,” Fraser questioned sudden-
ly, “how long have you known that I
love you?”
Helen lied softly. “I didn’t and
don’t until you tell me about it.”
The telling was almost as much of a
task to Fraser as had been some of the
great battles he had fought through,
but Helen seemed contented.
“The news to McLeod will be inter-
esting next letter,” Fraser said, and
not without a touch of triumph.
“Book, of Hours” to Australia.
When the earl of Wharncliffe’s beau-
tiful “Book of Hours” was sold at
Christie’s February 26 for $23,700, we
stated that “national hopes” were en-
tertained as to its destination. Aus-
tralia is to have the opportunity of
learning something about medieval
art and devotion, for it may now be
announced that this exquisite volume
has been purchased for the National
Gallery of Victoria out of the rich
funds of the Felton bequest. Interest
is added by the fact that in the re-
cent Yates-Thompson sale a smallei
“Book of Elours” with a lovely Illumi-
nated calendar and miniatures exe-
cuted by the same “egregius pictoi
FrancLscus,” who adorned the Wliarn-
cliffe "Horae,” fetched $24,000. The
Yates-Thompson “Book of Hours” was
especially done for the Bon Roi Rene,
father of Margaret of Anjou, wife ot
our Henry VI.—London Telegraph.
Herds of Sea Lions.
The appearance of wandering herds
of sea lion* along the shores of south-
ern California reminds of the-peren-
nial stories about monsters of the
deep. Some scientists have believed
the rare specimens of “oar fish,” which
sometimes reach the surface, might
be mistaken for sea monsters. Some
of these fish are 20 fdet long. Unfor-
tunately, they dre so adapted to live
at great depth they cannot live at the
surface. Records show that two haYe
been washed upon California beaches.
