if you will and can, make over your
silk house dress and your net evening
frock, but do not waste much time or
cash trying to re-furbish coats, skirts,
jackets or completo suits for the street.
Unquestionably this is a season of
smartly tailored attire for the street.
When the skirt is short, say four inches
from the ground, it is perfectly hung,
and is so chic that it mak-'S its wearer
look almost Parisian. We ape showing
In this connection a most satisfactory
model in the new walking skirt, with
matching, shaped girdle and spats or
cloth-top shoes. 1 1 is the ideal skirt
for Tainy weather, for shopping, for
walking excursions, golf and similar
outdoor pastimes. Jt can be made from
a great variety of fabrics, wool or
linen, and it may be made perfectly
plain, or. if its wearer is tall enouch
to carry the rimmed skirt, folds or braid
may bo applied to the side gores. The
kirt is cut in seven "tores and is laid in
pleats. Four yards of double width ma

streets of all large cities, and are worn
by wonif-u from t to :w. They demand
the not tiest of foot wear, tailored shirt
waists, smartly tailored jackets and what
might bf termed a tailored hat. rough
straw trimmed with stiff bows and wings
or quills. The picture hat is absolutely
out of place with suh a skirt.
A stunning combination seen on a
girl of about 22. shopping in a fashion
able store, showed a combination of
dull blues and grays. The skirt and
jacket were of broken check in the
two colors, the tailored shirtwaist was
of dull gray surah silk, made with a
double pleating down the front of the
center, whit turnover collar and tie of
the silk. The shoes were- black pat
ent leather wit h dull gray cloth tops.
The hat was dull gray straw sailor
trimmed with great wings in various
shades of blue and gray completely cov
ering the crown and most of the brim.
The gloves were dull gray suede, and
to cap the combination, the girl wore
iolets at her belt.
The outtng skirt naturally suggests
outing shirt waists, for. with the return
of Spring, tennis courts and golf links ;

distinctive and fs not suited for wear j
with tailored skirt on the street or 1

Etiquette for
AFTRR taking a few trips In the
average trolley car of a large city,
the student of human nature feels
that an entire volume might be written
on this one tor1 alone. It is all very well
to say hat under modern traffic condi
tions there is no time for politeness, for
with conductors calling "Step lively,"
passengers nitist hurry in the interest of
physical safety. This is a fallacious ar
gument. Conductors take their cue from
the traveling public, and as a nation we
say we are driven, when we are merely
rude.
CVldly enough, the average woman in
public 1c as rude as the average, man.
When a fellow guest at dinner picks up
her gloves or fan, she rewards him with
gracious smile and carefully worded
phrases. "When a tired workman rises on
the streetcar to give her his scat, she
merely inclines her head or moves her
lips in perfunctory acknowledgment and
accepts the seat as her right, not as a
courtesy.
The well-bred woman knows just how
far to go in acknowledging streetcar
courtesies, whether siie accepts a man's
seat or receives at his hands the parcel or
umbrella che dropped in -the crush. And
ou can tell whether she is well-bred by
the way in which the man accepts her
acknowledgment. If he raises his hat
and looks virtuously rewarded, you may
bo sure sho has done the gracious thing.
If he wears that "I-wonder-why-I-did-it"
look, you may be sure she made no ac
knowledgment at all. If he preens him
self like a gay Robin Redbreast and ,
smirks and tries to make conversation, i
ou may be sure that the woman took
the initiative and accompanied her
thanks with a flirtatious glance. 1
Women and girls who are well man- j
nered in their own social circle seem to I
throw discretion and gentleness to the ;
winds when they board a public convey
ance. They stare at other women in ,a
most annoying fashion, pass remarks in
stage whispers and talk private affairs in
a voice which carries the length of the ,
car. Very few women know how to pitch 1
their oiees beneath the roar of traffic. 1
consequently they scream a hove it. and j
other passencers are reald with inter- '
estlng information regarding "John s' d?
linq'iem'ics and the latest scandal in the
Joneti family.
Another annoying trick peculiar to
women is this: When two or three have
been shopping together, they board a
homeward bound train or car to Mud
s altered seats. Instead of politely ask
ing some man to move 50 that they can
it together, one woman takes a vacant
sat and her friends stand before her and

Madras, Knglish shirtings, which can be

linen, pongee and high grade white wash

A good pongee waist in natural tint
makes a stunning combination with a
plain brown, cheeked or striped skirt.
A modified Peter Pan outing shirt is
shown today. It has a plain back, a

But It's name is misleading. It should
bo called a handy coat, because, it is such
a useful garment. Made in waterproof
cloth, it will answer all the purposes-of
a raincoat, and yet it will come fresh
from the tailor's, fit for wear on an au
tomobile ride, a day's shopping in a dis
tant city, or general traveling purposes,
and it is just the garment to wear to the

request will work miracles even in a

There are certain courtesies which a
woman abroad may expect, not demand
of men, and she will generally get them
if she bears herself as a lady should.
When a number of persons are waiting
for a car, the women have the preference
in boarding the car when it arrives. All
the men stand hack, even those who are
escorting women, until all the women

the men (go first and assist women under
their protection.
When an aged man or woman, or a
young woman with a babe in arms,
boards a crowded car. and no man rises
to provide a seat, a younger woman, and
particularly a young girl, is entirely justi

SOME APPETIZING LATE LENTEN DISHES
A 9 Lent draws to a close the house
wife who has been obeying strietly
the church regulations has trouble
in tempting the family appetite. The
members of her household rebel against
fish and e?rgs, and develop un-Lenten ap
petites for forbidden flesh-pots. Here are
some tempting dishes that will make
Lenten dishes a pleasure, not a penance:
Onion Soup Milanese.
Melt half a cupful of butter in a frying
pan, and when golden brown, add three
onions cut in thin slice?. Fry these until
they are transparent: cover with a lid
and set far back on the stove to simmer
or steep for an hour. Add a quart of
milk and bring to a boil. Toast half a
dozen squares of bread a eolden brown,
and lay these in a piping hot tureen.
Pour over the toast the boiling soup and
scatter over the top of this half a cup
ful of crated Parmesan or other rich
cheese.
1 Fish Canape.
Here, as in most Lenten recipes, milk
or cream takes the place of meat or meat
stock. Melt two tablespoons of butter
and fry In it half a chopped onion. Po
not allow this to brown, but rub into it
smoothly one tablespoon of flour. Now
add slowly, one pint 'of very rich milk,
or if you nave it, cream. "When the
sauce thickens add one pint of flaked
crab meat, halibut, whitefish or cod.
which has been cooked and carefully
picked over, so that oily the white meat
remains. Flavor with salt, cayenne
pepper, and bring to a boil onee. Have
ready round pieces nf toast, loss than half
an inch thick, which have been toasted
on one side only. Cover the toasted side
with the creamed fish and spread with
the following mixture: Half a cup of
butter, half a pound of prated cheese,
rubbed together with paprika. Pet your
canapes on a buttered tin and color
golden brown in the oven.
Kggs In Cheese Sauce.
A supper course io be made in the
chafing dish. Melt a heaping tablespoon
of butter in the blazer, add one table
spoon of flour and stir until smooth, then

break into the sauce as many eggs as
the blazer will hold, being careful not to
break the yolks. When the eggs are
well set, or poached, serve with the
sauce on pieces of toast. If you have no
chafing dish, use a porcelain lined skillet
on gas or coal stove.

for each person. On this lay a medium
thick slice of tomato (raw and un
skinnei). Over this tomato scatter finely
minced green peppers, and onions, a little
salt and some grated American or Kdam
cheese. Have, your oven very hot. or
better still, if you have a gas stove, use
the broiler. Set your slices of tomato on
toast in a shallow baking pan. place this
in a hot oven or under the broiler jets,
and cook until the cheese is melted and
lightly browned, sufficient time also
to cook the tomato.
Shrimp Fritters.
Take three well-beaten eggs, quarter of
a cup of milk, tablespoon of melted but
ter, and a pinch of salt and make mto
a smooth batter. Take half a pound of
picked shrimps and chop up quite finely
with a sliver knife, and stir into this
mixture. Add enough stale bread crumbs
to make quite a stiff batter. Drop by
tablespoon fuls Into a pot of boiling fat.
and try a golden brown. Drain on a
piece of thick brown paper, and serv;e
with a rich white drawn butter to which
has been added a chopped hard boiled
egg and a little tomato juice for color
ing matter. Garnish the dish with cress
or parsley.
Creamed Salt Codfish.
Pick the cod in small pieces. Soak one
and a half cups of this picked fish in
warm water for half an hour. Drain off
and add two cups of white sauce sea
soned with pepper. Add two eggs slightly
beaten just before serving. Serve on
toast with hard-boiled eggs diced over
it. Some families like this dish with
half a cup .of grated cheese added to
it. Allow the cheese to melt In the
sauce before adding the eggs.

they arc also extremely tryhng on the
complexion.
The skin of the face is more deli
cate than, that of any other part of
the body, and it has the least protec
tion from sudden changes of h.cat and
cold. The woman who has been in the
house all day, with steam heat or
stoves holding the temperature at 70
or even more, is very apt to start out
on an errand toward dusk, when the
wind is raw and untempered by sun
shine, with her overheated skin unpro
tected from the sharp wind. Return
ing home she realizes that her face is
filled with dust, so she washes it in
tpid water, with or without soap, dabs
on a bit of powder and dresses for the
evening meal.
Some; one at the table remarks that
her face is very red, and she replied
earelessly that it is always so in the
Spring. No tomorrow nor next week,
but months and perhaps years later,
she will be shedding tears over a skin
which Is thick, hard, coarse and rough.
The price of a good complexion Is
eternal vigilance,, aid especially must
this vigilance be maintained during the
changeable Spring weather.
First. keep your skin properly
cleansed, whether you are going out
doors or not. If the skin is oily, add
a dozen drops of tincture of beneoln to
a basin of hot water and use a pure,
tin seen tei soap with a flesh brush or
piece of Turkish toweling. Have the
first water quite hot and then for
rinsing, gradually reduee the tempera
ture. Da not make the common mis
take of washing the faee clean with
hot water and soap and then dashing
very cold rinse water on It. AH ex
tremes of heat and cold are bart for th$
skin.
If you have a very dry skin, with a
tendency to crack, chap or scale, buy
one ounce of white vaseline (common
yellow vaseline will not do, and eight
grains of rosorcih (a fine, white crys
talline substance). Put the two in a
double boiler or in a china bowl set in
n pan of simmering water. When
the resorcin crystals are thoroughly
dissolved remove the mixture from the
fire and beat until cool. Keep in a
atone jar. Resorcin is a most effective
germ killer, and many skin ailments
can be traced to bacteria. Before re
tiring rub this thoroughly Into the
skin until it is entirely absorbed. In
the morning wash the face with hot
water and a very mild soap, dry thor
oughly and powder'lightly.

Some Home-Made Trimmings
THIS Is an ideal fashion year for
the deft needlewoman, as the trim

sort where showy stitchcry is required

broidery. The latter is still seen in fine
lingerie blouses, but on the whole the
woman who docs not embroider any too
well, but who is quirk with the needle
and secures clev&r effects and color com
binations, is now having her inning.
First, It is a year of braiding. The
reign of soutaehe'and novelty braids Is
undisputed. This requires no training
whatever. Have your pattern stamped
If you want something elaborate and sew
your fine soutache braid on by hand,
stretching it taut. You will find it on
the smartest imported models of cloth,
silk' and linen, on the collar, cuffs, vest,
pocket lapels, revers and in bands around
the skirts. SNmple designs can be traced
with perforated patterns of your own
making.
Braid Is also used to form ornaments
and buttons. For this purpose it is in
terwoven, sometimes in one color, and
sometimes in two.
The woman who can embroider rapidly
can get beautiful effects by buying broad
silk hercules braid and embroidering it
in large conventional designs. A stun
ning effect was thus obtained in a suit
of biscuit-colored cloth. The hercules
braid in self-tone was embroidered at
Intervals in trefoils of deeper biscuit
tints In soft creamy browns and a dash
of gold thread. To do this work you
must baste crinoline under your light
weight braid to keep the ernbroidery
firm. The embroidered braid of this
sort was used on the blouse only, out
lining the cuffs and a deep chemisette
of tucked net.
' Filet net is also embroidered and can
be bought in -strips or in dress width.
The conventional pattern used on this is
a darning stitch, and is very easy to do,
as the filet net has a square mesh and
the spaces can be counted, making con
ventional patterns as easy as working
on canvas. For one of the new frocks
In blue-green, beautiful bands of filet net
embroidered with dull green, blue and
gold may be used for trimming the
blouse. Embroidered filet is a favorite
trimming for the new Summer silks,
grenadines and net gowns.
No bit of colored embroidery is to be
despised this year. Perhaps you have
some left-over strips of silk embroidery
in conventional or flower designs. The
foundation may be worn and the design
be perfect. Cut out the latter, applique
It on filet net banding, outlining tho
edge of each bit of embroidery with a
fine gold braid or button-hole stitching
in gold thread. F.dge the entire filt
banding with narrow French Val, or
imitation Cluny lace, sewed on flat, and
you have a stunning trimming for your
new silk blouse or gown.
Any home sewer who can make Irish
crochet or point lace is strictly in the
swim just now. Beautiful blouses of
filet or princess net are shown with sp
pliques ol Irish crochet. Trefoil, nar
row leaf and conventional daisy designs,
varying in size from one inch to five,
are used in this connection. Irish point
lace in narrow, fine patterns Is used to
outline turnover collars and trim edges
of neckwear.
But it is in making the buttons that
the home dressmaker can best show her
skill. Jeweled, enameled and braid but
tons are all offered at the shops, but the
preferred button is a part of the gown
itself, evolved from cloth, silk, velvet,
braid and embroidery. Beautiful velvet
and cloth buttons are. embroidered in
contrasting tints with knots. wheels,
spider and fleur de lis designs. I-arge
buttons are made from cloth or velvet
and almost hidden by soutache or gold
braid, crossed and recrossed over them.
Silk buttons to match frocks are em

knots and then surrounded by tiny frills
