ODD BUT ARTISTIC COLOR COMBINATIONS v FIND FAVOR AMONG WELL-DRESSED WOMEN BROWN WAISTS REPLACE DARK BLUE MODELS FOR AUTUMN WEAR IN FASHION CENTERS Half pimento and half tomato pulp is a mixture liked by some housewives, while others prefer to use two-thirds pimento and one-third tomato, so that there is not too great a likeness to or dinary tomato catsup.

Here Is a costume blouse of deep ecru georgette on which are conventional motifs done with cut Jet beads. The loose sleeves are bordered with jet beads and the bead pattern is arranged to cover the Jower half of sleeve and klousa, leaving the shoulders in un broken ecru tone. A dainty little round-necked yoke and plealed, collar coming down at either side are of flesh tinted georgette, three large jet but tons holding the pleats of the collar to the blouse. Sometimes it 'is the blouse that de mands special attention; sometimes it is the skirt. - In this costume a very , simple wash blouse sinks into, oblivion beside the extremely smart effect of " a" new tailored skirt one of'the "Sest models of the season. Pleats and pan els are well balanced, and materials are balanced also, for part of the skirt Is made of dark blue mohair and part of satin meteor. The satin is pleated only at the sides and the narrow, ma chine pleats lie flatly againBt the fig ure. Between the pleated panels are mohair panels that hang from a well fitting mohair girdle. Stenciled chiffon with the design brought out by a bovder made of tiny beads is quite the new note in blouse rear. On this simply cut, button-in-bark model of blue chiffon are two trimming bands of stenciled beige chif fon, the stencil pattern on the beige being in exactly the blue shade of the blouse. Tiny jet beads are used to ac centuate the design. The trimming bands are set into the chiffon blouse w ith pipings of blue satin and pipings finish the collar and the slashed open ings of the sleeve. Sleeve and blouse fasten with hidden snaps, the ivory toned buttons being added for orna ment and contrast. Pink Organdy Is Stylish in Summer Wear. Brllllaat Malin Be Feature f Ailini Garments. , N ADORABLE pink' organdy of midsummer has a long, pointed tunic edged with a narrow pleated or gandy frill, and above that a second frill; about five Inches of plain or gandy showing between the two. The bell sleeves are finished In the same way, with two pleated frills, and a 'fichu collar, with pleated frill all around, crosses at the bust and drops over the belt in bolero fashion, the ends crossing In frill-edged tabs at the "back. What little of the sash shows seems to be pink satin ribbon. A young woman dining at Sherry's the other night wore a notable frock In black and old rose. The surplice bodice and tunic were of black geor gette printed with big roses in soft old pink. The tunic fell over a skirt of plain black chiffon. Flowing bell sleeves were edged with plisse frills of black chiffon and rose chiffon. A sash of rose moire ribbon was tied in a, butterfly bow at the back of the ' waist and inside the low V of the bodice two strips of rose moire ribbon were crosssed to make a sort of cheml- I sette. The hat worn with this simple but striking frock was a'wlde-brlmmed sailor made entirely of shirred black lace.

H. a SEVERAL requests have r come for canned red pimentos or for green peppers. . I give below several methods, each good for different pur poses. I do not think you will get a product exactly like the commercial canned pimentos, first because It is usually difficult to get Just the right kind of peppers in Portland, and second, because of the difference In household and commercial equipment and methods. 1. Peppers in vinegar Cut 14 large .green or red sweet peppers in halves or quarters, free them from seeds, and sprinkle with three level tablespoons salt. Let stand 24 hours, drain and dry the peppers in a cloth, pack closely .Into sterilized jars, cover with white vinegar and seal at once. The vinegar taste may be wholly or partly removed, for some purposes, by soaking the. pep pers In cold water and changing the atec juiui the deaired Xiavpr -ia salad the additional acid of the vinegar may do very acceptaDie. 2. Peppers in Salt Water Wash, cut them in half, remove the seeds and pack closely In glass jars. Make a brine in the proportion of two tablespoons salt. do ilea witn a quart 01 water five min utes. Fill to overflowing, and seal at once. Freshen in cold or hot water before use, then use like fresh peppers. 3. Peppers in Syrup Cut a circle round the stem end of the pepper, re move the piece and take out the see,ds. Cover with boiling water, let stand three or four minutes, then rub off the outer skins. Chill in cold water. Drain and pack in sterilized jars. Boil a vinegar syrup 15 minutes, using one cup sugar and one cup syrup to every quart vinegar. Fill up the jars with this to overflowing and seal at once. 4. Peppers Cooked in the Can (salted) Remove the seeds from the peppers and cut them in half-inch strips. Scald, drain, dip into cold water and pack into Jars; fill up with salted water using one teaspoon salt to each quart can.

Pimentos or green peppers of Irregu lar size and shape are better canned in strips or used in relishes or catsup rather than for canning whole. The following recipe for pimento cat sup is given in response to the request of Mrs. S., Portland. Red Pimento Catsup. Six pounds ripe roasted and peeled red pimentos (as above), 2 tablespoons salt, 2 pounds of sugar. 2 tablespoons powdered gin ger, 2 tablespoons powdered cinnamon, 1 quart vinegar. Remove the stems, seeds, veins, and skins as for canning. Weigh the prepared peppers and pass through a feed chopper. Be sure to put a bowl under the chopper to catch the Juice. Mix the sugar, salt and spices and combine this with the pepper pulp and Juice. Heat slowly to boiling point in a sound granits or aluminum kettle, adding the vinegar gradually. Cook slowly till of a smooth pulpy consistency like tomato catsup. Then put Into sterilized jars and seal at once. An extra precaution for keeping, if ordinary bottles and corks are used in stead of cans, will be necessary. Have the bottles filled to within one inch of where the. cork will come, set the bottles on a rack in hot water to with in two inches of the top of the necks, cork loosely and simmer for one-half hour. The water should either boil very gently or Bimmer Just below boil ing point. Use new. sound corks and boil them before putting into the ket tles. At the end of the simmering time cork the bottles firmly, and when cool cover the top of the cork and joint with paraffin or bottling wax. This is a good way to secure the keeping of any kind of catsup that is put up in bottles. A variety of pimento catsup is made by substituting some . cooked ' and Straiued tomato pu'j (with, or with.- Portland, Or.. July 28. My dear Mlu Tingle, will you kindly give me a good recipe for peach butter, one good for war time, I mean? Thanking you In advance. MRS. C. S. I think you will find the following quite satisfactory. In war times, 2 or 3 tablespoons sugar, and three table spoons white corn syrup may be added to each quart of boiled-down cider, instead of one-half cup sugar to every quart that is called for In the old fashioned recipe. Or the sugar may be omitted altogether if the peaches are sweet and full-flavored. Peach Butter Prepare a boiled cider syrup by boiling down cider to nearly the thickness of molasses and adding 3 tablespoons sugar and 3 tablespoons white corn syrup to each quart of the boiled-down cider. Pare, stone, and thoroughly crush sound ripe peaches, adding 1 quart of the prepared syrup to 3 quarts of peach pulp, Spices may be added or omitted according to taste. If the peaches are at all "flat" in flavor, the addition of a little lemon- Juice may be an improvement. Boil down slowly, stirring often to prevent burning. Cook carefully until thick. To save fuel, a part of the cooking may te done in tne tireless cooker, or in a slow oven that is at the same time used for the long cooking of tough meat in a casserole, or for baking beans, cook until the mixture skins or "crinkles" when dropped on a cool plate, then seal in hot jars. A portion of the cooked-down peach butter could easily be converted (either now or nearer Christmas time) into peach paste" or "peach leather." by spreading it on platters and drying very slowly, in a drying oven, to a cutting" or "leathery" consistency as may be preferred. If cut in cubes it may be rolled in a mixture of cornstarch and powdered sugar, or in chopped nuts or it may simply be wrapped around whole nuts, or eaten plain as a candy sub stitute. It is usually quite popular as holiday confection, and, as you see. takes scarcely any sugar. Different colors may be given to It if desired by the use of a little "fruit coloring." Portland. Or.. July 20. At your earliest convenience, will you kindly print a recipe for a laxative bran bread? Thanking you advance. .READER. Tou might try the following, and if it is not what you want, please write again: Bran bread 2 cups bran, 2 cups coarse whole wheat flour (or for wheatless bread, 1 cup barley flour and 1 cup oat flour), cup molasses or smooth cooked prune pulp, put through sieve whichever is preferred, teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1V4 cups thick sour milk, 1-3 cup seeded and cut prunes or raisins, (may be omitted). If the bread is to be' made without wheat, 1 egg will improve its tecture and make it slice better, but if graham or 'whole wheat flour is used the egg is not necessary. Mix the dry ingredients and fruit, add the molasses or prune pulp and the milk, mixing smoothly and rapidly. Place in greased loaf pan and bake 1 hour in a moderate oven. Brush the top with milk a little while before the baking is finished. The same mixture may be baked in hot greased muffin pans, if preferred. This gives a larger propor tion of crust and encourages good chewing, which is particularly import ant for the coarse breads. Thick, sour buttermilk may be used in place of or dinary sour milk. I .

Beat the egg un til light and add the rice, beating them well together, add the melted shorten ing or cream, then add to the flour I sifted with the baking powder.

OT that American women pay much attention to Paris notions in foot wear! It is tne one item ot costume that Paris , is unable to dictate about. Whatever sort of boots and slippers they are wearing in Paris, Fifth ave nue and Broadway wear the boots and slippers that please them best. Ameri can women are more conservative in taste about .footwear than French women are-r-so at least, it seems to Americans who believe, and perhaps Ith good reason, that there are no prettier, smarter, more comfortable foot coverings than those manufactured I right here in our own United -States. For instance, in Paris Just now, the ultra chic afternoon slipper is a hybrid affair combining a barefoot sandal and a Louis Quinze dancing slipper in Its makeup. So little leather is there above the sole that the stocking foot seems to rest on the high-heeled sole, held in place by various sandal straps, crossing I instep and heel. JNot to De comparea for neatness and prettiness with the trim kid pump of American women, is this gay, sandal affair now the fancy of Paris. Instead of the smart patent leather Oxford, favored by well-dressed American women this Summer, the Parisiennes are wearing with prome nade frocks a strap slipper, the toe cut awav until it is scarcely more than a tip over the stocking foot, and the in step strap tied with a ribbon bow at the I front quite destroying, in American opinion, the graceful line of the instep. Paris and America are agreed, however, upon the question of Fall boots. Tops are to be rather low to conserve leather, I buttoned styles are to be in favor, and the convenient and well-beloved button spat of cloth takes its place again in flshion's train. Taupe spats and gaiter boot tops are most favored in Paris Just now. Next come shades of gray and two-tone boots and Oxfords in taupe or gray are decidedly correct.

For sale by "37 Woodard, Clark Drug Co.. and other good drug and dept. stores ROWN waists are usurping the ace of the dark-blue models that fashion used to favor. Many of the distinctive costume blouses for wear with Autumn tailored suits are in brown tints, and a particularly at tractive model is pictured, a blouse of coffee brown chiffon with collar of cream satin. The chiffon vest and un dersleeve are in a slightly .. deeper shade of cream, or cafe au lait, and the embroidery on the blouse front and cuff matches this shade. The chemi sette buttons are in the shade of the blouse itself. The sleeve is set into the shoulder with pleats to give soft full ness while .keeping the flat line over upper arm and shoulder. There is something gay and fetch ing about a separate skirt of bright colored striped silk, and such a skirt, shimmering and soft of material. makes one feel quite" dressed up, of an evening at home, even if the blouse that accompanies the skirt is very simple and unpretentious. A gay skirt and a plain blouse, one might add, are more fancied just now than an elab orate blouse accompanied by a severe, tailored skirt, for housewear at least. This skirt is of -wine-colored taffeta striped with white and the oblique drapery and tasseled sash are features of its attractiveness. A separate skirt does Jiot mean the skirt of one's tailored suit, worn oc casionally with waists when the coat is not in use; it means a skirt chosen especially for wear with odd blouses, and most women have several of these separate skirts, now that the blouse-and-skirt combination is so much fa vored. Plaid worsteds and flannels of gay and cheerful pattern and coloring are shown in the new separate skirts for Fall. Here is a typical skirt of blue, gray and browh pfaid 'with accenting lines of white.

Girlish, WrinkleFree Skin Easy to Have Since us remarkable astringent and tonic properties became known, clever women all over the world have been using the saxolite face bath to "tone, up" their faces, remove wrinkles and draw flabby cheeks and neck back to normal. After usint? the solution, the face immediately feels -much firmer. The skin tightens evenly all over the face, thus reducing lineM and saiteriness. The formula is: Powdered saxolite, one ounce, dissolved in witch hazel, one half pint.
