Tou will find in the preceding- an swer two of the many ways of making rose beads. If you want to use citric acid with cooked rose pulp, put It in with the fresh petals, as Its mission is to prevent either fermentation or loss of color in cooking. Cook the petals like spinach. Chop and rub through a sieve, like spinach, and use starch or flour and talcum powder as "binder" and "filler" respectively. Knead to a flexible paste. Finish as above. Write again if you wanted directions for the ordinary black or brown beads. Spinach beads are similarly made but with a pinch of soda in place of citric acid. Other "rose" beads are made of a flexible paste of hot mashed potatoes dyed and perfumed ta taste and kneaded smooth with talcum pow der or talcum powder and salt or ep. sora salts. There is little of either "sentiment" or beauty about these beads. It is never possible for me to send recipes or make personal replies to correspondents. 8 I r : " i"i . . . . : V V i - I - If - 1 k?

MRS. O. T. Tour answer was delayed on account I Of the "time limit," since several good I cooked salad dressings had been given I shortly before your letter was re ceived. It is not possible for me to 'send recipes to correspondents. I have no "best" recipe, nor have I any "best" clothes, only recipes and. clothes I suited for different purposes. The "best" flavored dressing for one salad lis not the best for another. The most inexpensive dressing is "best" from one point of view, but is not the "best from a gastronomic standpoint. and so on. Why not learn to like oil? French dressing is so quickly made, inexpensive, . wholesome, " generally liked and so widely adaptable to so many different kinds and types of salad that It might perhaps be called "best." - It, however, necessarily con tains oil and is not cooked. Two cooked recipes are given below. Write again if neither suits you and please explain what are the points that count towards best in your view of salad dressings. 2. - I have never noticed "the watery substance" ; you refer to. Presumably It would be whey from an overcooked or overacidifled dressing in which milk was -used; or else vinegar from a dress ing in which insufficient "binding ma terial" was used, so that the solid particles were not held completely In suspension. Beating with a Dover I egg beater would probably remedy the matter, if the dressing was otherwise in good condition, as might well be. S. No; not without preservatives, and then not without loss, of flavor. Nor is "indefinite" keeping desirable in ordinary life, since the charm of salad flavorings lie in their evanescent freshness, and salad dressings are so easily and quickly made at home. Most home-made salad dressings will keep fairly well, for at least two weeks. In covered glass cans in a refrigerator or cool cellar. This seems long enough for any salad dressing outside a museum or factory. It is possible to put up a commercial mixture, of com mercial flavor under commercial condi tions, that will keep in bottle for some time, is unopened. Of course it deter lorates on opening, 4. Vinegar, salt and spices are all I preservatives. If other preservatives I are used, the pure food law requires I statement of the fact on the label of I a commercial product. If you have rea son to believe that a salad dressing purchased by you contains illegal pre I servatlves, undeclared, I think you can send It to be analysed at the office of the State Dairy and Food Commis I sioner. Tou might write and inquire there. If you are sufficiently inter ested. Cooked Salad Dressing Make a thick white sauce, in the usual way, with 4 cup milk, cream, water or white stock, 2 tablespoons butter, 2 (level) tablespoons flour. Beat one egg yolk (or two If a richer" dressing is de sired) with. one tablespoon sugar. Com bine this with the white sauce and cook a little over hot water, stirring well until the egg thickens but being care ful not to overcook and curdle it.

These suits, though a bit startling until one becomes used to the style, are real ly practical and quite modest more modest than last season's short, scant little skirt of clinging satin worn over silk tights.

' They might be designed for tea on the veranda or at the dansant, so far as material goes. Only the coquettish cut designates them as frocks that will venture into the billows, or the ripples of. ocean or bay, and one has more than a suspicion that many of these charm ing costumes will never," never know wjjat it is to get wet. Fortunately for the woman who likes to look pretty more than- she likes to have a good time it is not considered quite the proper thing to take a sun bask on the sand instead of a sea bath in unpleasantly wet watei- if one so prefers. For the baskers there are irresistibly fetching costumes that include every dainty ac- its practical features as a swimming garment may be. . Every additional ounce of wet fabric Is a burden to the real swimmer and it is. to be presumed that 10 yards of ruffling dragged down by the weight of water will not add to the zest of sport in the water; but the ruffled suits are adorable on the beach no doubt of that. Most of them are fashioned of pussy willow taffeta and this year "black Is at a dis count in bathing costumes. If a black suit is worn at all it is made gay with trimming of white or Roman striped silk. Sometimes Scotch plaid silks are combined with plain, dark taffetas in good effect. Prettiest of all the bathing suits, perhaps, are those ot dark taffeta with scalloped edges outlined with white No French woman of the better class would dream of Dosing on the sand or of racing and walking about the beach after the bath, clad in her swimming suit. The Amer ican girl, on the other hand, would consider almost any old thing good enough to wear Into the water if there were no fun on the sand afterward. Several well-known society women of unauestloned good taste made the tunic bloomer bathing suit the fashion at .Palm Beach last Winter and its fa vor is assured for. this Summer. The prettiest models are of salt water satin or fine mohair, the tunic falling well a wiae. cessory from a parasol and vanity bag piping. A dark blue pussy willow taf- to a corsage flower: and all that dif ferentiates these enchanting frocks from other frocks is their length or rather their lack of length. Some of the new bathing dresses have skirts barely touching the knee; oth ers have tunics falling midway between waist and knee. No really modish new bathing suit has yet exhibited a skirt covering the knee, though often the frill of a bathing pantaloon shows be low the abbreviated skirt. Indeed, bathing bloomers are fashionable this year. Nobody thinks of hiding them, and the more they show the smarter the suit. Tights have completely gone out of fashion as far as the beach is cpn cerned. though woven swimming tights or jerseys are worn by many women beneath the suit These garments come in cotton, wool and a mixture of silk and wool, the last named being nat tirally the moBt expensive. They may be had in full length, that Is with stockings attached, or in knee length. In this case silk stockings and garters must be worn. Nobody dreams of go ing in bathing now with any stockings but silk ones. - The Summer girl would far prefer to wear cotton or lisle hose with her afternoon frocks in order to have silk stockings for her bathing suit. If such economy were necessary. Silk bathing stockings are not really an extrava gance, for as canvas beach shoes are worn the stockings will not wear out In the feet The only thing that is imperative is to keep the bathing stockings free of "runs" or "Jacob's ladders." caused by garters. A darned stocking is not pretty with a short bathing skirt, and the frugal woman weara her brand-new silk stockings with her bathing suit, and uses them with ordinary long skirted costumes after darning at the top becomes neces sary. The new ruffled bathing suit is the prettiest thing- imaginable whatever feta suit of this' sort has three ruffles on the skirt, all scalloped and piped with white, and the sleeves are fin ished to match. The sash Is of white taffeta. Another suit of black taffeta is scalloped and piped with American Beauty color, and in the corsage Is an American Beauty Rose made, if you please, of colored rubber. Still another ruffled bathing dress Is of gray and black striped pussy willow taffeta with a white taffeta collar and turned back cuffs. The sash Is. of white taffeta with weighted ends and a cluster of rubber violets is tacked against the or more if a "sharp" dressing is wanted. Plain or flavored vinegar may be used. The whipped white - of an egg or little whipped cream may be added if milder "fluffy" dressing is desired.

Buttons also add smartness to coats loose belt and a Russian ttyle of fss- tening down one side. The bloomers are full and bag over at the knee. Bui fled bloomers are seen on some ot the new models, but they are not to be commended for grace or propriety. There is a practical bathing dress which will be liked by the woman who goes In for actual swimming. Midway of the skirt Is a casing through which runs a cord. When out in deep water the swimmer may pull in the cord, lift Ing the skirt and tying the taaaeled ends of the cord around her waist. he Is then perfectly free to strike out nim bly for her swim, the bloomers of soft silk not impeding her movement through the water. Strangely enough, the daring French bathing suit Is really the most prac tical style, for the absence ot a ham perlng skirt is much appreciated by the woman who really swims well. This imported suit is of blue mohair and worsted mixture with a hem of green silk In border effect on the tunic. A green silk kerchief matching the bor der Is tied over a rubber diving cap. In addition to the roses and violets of rubber for .corsage adornment, there Buttons Are Ued on Frock Merely as Ornaments. Handbags of Half Leather and Half Silk Are Serviceable Beadea SBeii Pins for Hair Popular. BUTTONS are as mucn usea, id a merely ornamental way, as ever they were.
