THE STJXDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. JXJXE 13, 1920 S CHARM AND INDIVIDUALITY ARE SHOWN IN MODEST BATHING SUITS NOW BEING WORN New Styles Are Pleasing to Good Taste With- Low Waistline Effect Apparently Liked Best Bloomers Now Are Important Style Detail of Suit. 2 .aSQS 74? 0- ?? azS. 2s- s jsccsT ABOUT this time of year email boys of the rural districts begin to pass the high sigh, behind eogrraphies In school, about special ind particular afternoon engagements down at the "ole swlmmin' hole." And pretty girls in town are haunting the departments where fascinating new bathing costumes are on view. The lure of water is going to call In & few weeks and nobody wants to be without the proper wearables for the fun once it has started. Bathing suits for 1920 are notice ably more pleasing than those of the last two seasons noticeably, that is. according to notions of good taste. There are a few bizarre, not to say preposterous ttylcs. but the majority of the new swimming costumes have a. daintiness, grace and modesty that appeals to women who do not delight In making spectacles: of themselves. Since about 1900 bathing suits have been growins steadily more audacious and last summer the climax was reached. Before 1900 the main idea of a bathing suit was to conceal its wearer absolutely from curious and Impertinent scrutiny and truly It ac complished Its nufdneps well. It was a. terrible affair that bathing suit of the late '80s and early '90s made of stout, strong flannel that seemed to weigh tons when w et. and trimmed with correspondingly heavy braid. Its sleeves came well over the elbow and Its skirt well over the knees and underneath were flannel bloomers that were forever sagging down .round the ankle. Also, the waist band of the flannel suit sagzed dowrt over the hips when the garment was soaking wet and forlorn indeed was the woman who emerged from the sea. in those days. In 1900 skirts of bathing suits began to get shorter and satin and taffeta began to take the place of the hitherto Inevitable flannel. Jersey tights replaced bloom erf; and sleeves were dispensed with. All this was very sensible, but before long women who loved to exploit their charms on the beach began to crave more conspicuous and revealing bath ing costumes and steadily the bath ing suit has been cut off, cut down, fatten In and "otherwise altered to meet popular demand. .New Bathing Suit Modest. Now, however, the reaction has come and bathing suits seek to be modest, demure and ultra genteel in stead of loud and sensational. Per haps in 20 years or so they may get clear back to the long-skirted flan nel moaeis. out this one doubts ex ceedingly. In color, the new suits run to all sorts of extremes .-it Is in style only that they are more conventional. There are emerald green, Chinese blue and Mandarin yellow bathing suits, and several models have been noted In vivid cerise or floral red "Very often these gay" colors are com . bined with black satin and the ef fect is rather delightful for beach wear. There seems to be no reason, except a wish to avoid consplcuousness, why woman should select black or dark blue for a bathing suit. Bright colors are charming against the brilliant background of summer sea and sky and really the gay costumes are sensible In a way. It is much easier to pick out a friend, or a daughter In the water or on a crowded beach if he wears a bathing suit of individual character and color and no woman who Is not an expert swimmer should go into the water without a bright- colored cap or head-kerchief. Friends on shore can keep track of the bather mudn better, and guard her safety if nsr wtmmlng cap all that is visible of her can be easily spied. Ming Tot Salt Picturesque. There Is a delightful little bathing dress called the Ming Toy after the little Chinese girl in a popular play Of the winter. This bathing suit has a straight, unfitted tunic of jade colored satin over very full black I ' . . jfo' . . y 1 , ?VJ t : r''' - tr t - v" I I j- t v ' - z .-f. tar ,, rf-VisV , -k, A t-f ' V t - v - tfS ' V... - V fops --'-hpW x - it i i .

The dresses that have a skirt and waistband are usually made with a panel front In the bodice, the fastening coming down one side and on the shoulder. A few very smart little bathing costumes button down the back; one model In particular, of black taffeta with scarlet buttons. No other touch of red on the costume except In the cap, which Is of red and black satin. Of course most of the bathing cos tumes have pockets. Women dote on pockets nowadays and simply will not get along without them. Sometimes the bathing suit has a break pocket for the handkerchief, and sometimes pockets are placed In the skirt. The conservative woman will fancy this attractive bathing suit (744S), which avoids sensationalism in line and color. The waist, sash and skirt are of blue fibre silk jersey and the bloomers of self tone taffeta. It is the fashion now to have bathing suit bloomers of self-tone taffeta. It ia come well below the short skirt and very often they are fitted below the knee, like these, with ribbons laced through eyelets. All the edges of the Jersey dress, including scallops at the skirt edge, are piped with blue taf feta. Last year some women wor these smart bathing wraps (7441). This year women will wear them. They are eo practical and so pleasing that the idea has caught on everywhere. It is very comfortable to snuggle into a warm bathing cape after one's dip and the enveloping cape keeps one from getting sunburned on the sand. This cape is of blue wool Jersey with facings of scarlet satin. The bathing suit, partly revealed, combines a yel low jersey tunic and pleated black satin skirt, but the two garment are attached so the suit is ail in one piece.

The little suit pictured Is of pale gray wool Jersey, embroidered on waist and knee breeches with white braid. Cap and silk stockings are blue and the bath ing shoes are gray wlthwhlte lac ings. Another suit in the same style is of yellow wool Jersey with white embroidery. I PORTLAND, Or., Juno 4. Trill ymi kindly g-lve me a recipe for buttermilk baffles. alo for buttermilk ice cream? Thanking you in advance. MRS. C. L. H. HOPE the following will suit you: Buttefmllk Waffles One and one- quarter cups flour, half teaspooa salt, teaspoon eoda, 1 cup thick well-soured buttermilk, 2 eggs, 4 tablespoons melted, shortening. Sift the dry ingredients. Add the egg yolks well beaten with the buttermilk to make a smooth batter. Beat in the melted shortening and fold in the stiff beaten egg whites. Bake in hot, well greased waffle irons. Skill in baking is essential. Uet a friend to show you just how to use the iron if your waffles are not crisp. Buttermilk Ice Cream One quart buttermilk, M cup sweet cream, 14 cups sugar, X tablespoon vanilla, or 3 tablespoons lemon Juice and V4 tea spoon lemon essence. Dissolve the sugar in the buttermilk. Add th cream and lemon juice (If used) when the first mixture is frozen to a mush, then finish freezing. Buttermilk ice creams, containing as they do very little fat, are more cooling than rich ice cream and are very inexpensive One cup sweetened fruit pulp may be added with the lemon juice if liked. for a richer cream, mix 1 or 2 egg yolks with the cream and add 1 stiff beaten egg white when the mixture is half frozen. cektkalia, wash.. May 23. Can you tell me if it Is possible to can fruits without sugar 7 If o. send me the process.. If there arc some fruits which can or can not be knt that way, let me Knor the least amount of sugar needed. Also if rhubarb can be canned withoout cooking oy using cold boiled water. MFvS. U. H. Practically all fruits may be canned without sugar ana generally, when sugar or heavy sugar-syrup has been added after opening, they will be found just as good as fruit canned in the usual way in syrup, although some of the red fruits do not show so good a color in the jar. The process is Just the same as for ordinary "cold pack" with which you are probably familiar except that either water or extracted fruit juice is used to fill up the Jars instead of syrup, and it is usually wise to increase the usual time of steriliz ing a little. A bulletin on cold pack canning can be obtained from the de partment of agriculture at Washing ton. When the fruit is opened, it can be sweetened to taste and thus the cost of the sugar can be spread over many months when there is always a hope of better supplies and lower prices. Be sure to wrap tbe jars in paper, for storage, to exclude the light. An economical plan as far as jars are concerned is to use some of the fruit to make juice to fill up the jars Instead of water or syrup, extracting it as for jelly. When the jars are opened the Juice will be "extra rich," and part of it can be poured off and made into Jelly in the usual way, if desired, while the remainder may be diluted (if desired) with sugar or sugar-syrup for use as "sauce" or in pie. Fruit juice alone may be canned without sugar, as recently described in this column. I'ruit pulp, ready for jam-making or for pie filling, may also be canned without sugar. In this case the fruit is boiled down somewhat be fore being put into the Jars and is then sterilized in a steem canner or washboiler in the usual way. the ob ject of this method being to save both jars and sugar. It is sometimes useful to remember in using this canned fruit pulp, or any very juicy fruit canned without sugar in double crust pies, that these very Juicy pies can often be mere satisfac torily dealt with by the same method that is used for lemon" pies on the principle that It is better to have the juice in the pie than on the bottom of the oven.

You boil up the fruit, meanwhile, with sugar to taste and a little flour-thickening if liked, and you add "the few drops of lemon Juice," or the "few grains of cinnamon and nutmeg." or the "bit of butter" (according to the kind of fruit used) that you would ordinarily add to your pie filling. Then, when tbe filling is cool and the pie crust is cool, preferably just before serving. you pour your very juicy filling into the prepared pie shell, put on the already baked lid and serve it with out losing a drop of juice or having any worry about whether the pie will boil over. In regard to the rhubarb, -while it is true that fresh rhubarb, firm cran berries and green gooseberries may be canned by simply putting them into sterilized Jars, filling to over flowing with boiled and cooled water, and sealing iignt without cooking, it is always juat a little "chancy, and fruit put up in this way require very careful watching to detect the first sign of spoiling. Fruit done up in this way is treated like raw fruit when opened: that is, it must be both cooked and sweetened before coming to table. Only the three things men tioned above can be canned by this method. An emphatic warning against all "canning powders" claiming to keep fruit without cooking and without sugar is especially necessary this year when sugar ia so high. Practically all "canning powder' are injurious. The use of them is forbidden to commer cial canners, and should be avoided by home canners. PORTLAND. Or., May 25.

Tbe straight tunic to the hips Is seen in many of the new bathing dresses, and Indeed few bathing cos tumes now emphasize the waistline. If a cash Is worn it is likely to be knotted low on the hips and if the waist and skirt are Joined with a belt, the belt is a very loose one that does not pretend to fit the waistline. A tunic bathing dress of twd-toned blue satin in a checkered jacquard pat tern has all edges piped with plain blue satin, and the bloomers are of plain satin, gathered into tight bands of the jacquard satin just below the knee. The tonic, which is cut kimono style with very short sleeves slashed and piped up the outer side, falls al most to the hip and attached to Its edge are four square tabs, piped all around. These tabs form a sort of akirt to the knee, over the bloomers. Though wool jersey is well repre sented in swimming costumes, there is a preference for suits of satin or taffeta silk this season. One suit has a slipover jersey to tbe hip and a skirt of pleated satin, the jersey but toning down on the skirt. Several models show fringe trimming which must look rather like dank seaweed when wet, though it is. graceful enough on the suit as one glimpses the model in a shop. The rubber fringes on beach wraps seem more suitable and some of these fringed wraps are really very smart. A model indeep blue rubberized silk is scal loped at the edge, on the flowing sleeve and cape collar, and from the scallops drops thick, long fringe, made of tiny strips of blue rubber. Hardly a single bathing dress now adays shows a front fastening. The fastening is either on one shoulder, or the garment slips over the head without a fastening.
