The result might bo as Inap propriate as a sunbonnet at a wed ding, but most of us were perfectly comfortable so long as we lilted the color and the dresa "felt good". We had little Idea if It became either our coloring or character. All tills was because as a nation of women we weren't self-analysts or "fash Ion wise", as the saying goes. But today! Ah. that is a differ, ent matter. We are every last one of us "In the know" to some ex tent as to what Paris is decreeing; as to what New York,- the Ameri can fashion center, is wearing and what the basic, fundamental ten dencies of Dame Fashion are. Moreover, we are beginning to Itnow ourselves. This sounds like an expensive luxury of Information. It is, com pared to the days when you put ou one dress and wore It through live seasons. But today simplicity has made it possible to have five dresses for one. Of course, gowns are today much simpler to make ,'tuan they were In the days of bust Is, puffed sleeves, trailing trains und the like. Less material is du- Woman's Building , Jackson Co.

The Woman's building was never designed for exhibit purposes and It has tn ken. much planning and much hard work on the part of ery one to tise the available space to the best advantage.

' , We "may have a thousand more seeds of' wisdom and Information In our style consciousness, but we have a thousand percent less haz ards in the process of covering our selves smartly and becomingly. Added to ull this Is the Innova tion of an amazingly widespread reach of available fabrics. Kven the small shop has an Interesting variety of fashion-valuable fabrics today. The wise department head buys less of any one pattern, and stocks more distinct and interest ing designs, qualities and textile make-ups. Wool for Instance, used to be well, Just wool. Today we have, among other Innovations, sheer wool called wool georgette. This, is made possible by the use of the new textile rayon with the age-old sheep's product. The frost, or gleam of rayon lias not only given color and vivacity to woolen patterns, but has reduced the weight and unpleasant warmth of this cloth. . Likewise other textiles have tak en on new identities. We often find one cloth containing as many as three kinds of yarns. Wool, silk and rayon all three appear in a sample which has come Into the Homo and Fashion Institute this week. Who would have thought of such a thing twenty years agol Pointers Given To Housewives On Use Of Lard Pork fat is one of the most widely used of the nnlmnl fats and it Is eaten in a variety of forms, such as hnm and bacon, fresh pork and lard. Lard is used principally for cooking purposes. The best grade of lard, which Is commonly known as leaf lard, is rendered from the fat which surrounds the kidney, bit commercial Uud .is often rendered from any nil of the fatty portions of the carcass. Home rendered lord will contain varying amounts of water, but the commercial product contains prac tically no water. Since the water content affects the keeping quali ties of tho fat, the lard which con tains little or no water keeps very well. Handles Easily In Making Rough . Lard contains relatively small amounts of those constituents which make fats hard, therefore It has a lower "melting point. This is tho reason why housewives prefer it to harder fats for shortening, especially in cold weather It Is easily handled in the preparation of doughs. Another reason for the popular ity of lard Is that It is practically free from flavor and odor which makes it desirable as a shortening agent. The use of lard In making nie crust gives a more tender and ! flakier product than any other I type of shortening. In substituting lard which is 100 per cent fat, for butter, which ;is S5 per cent fat, one-eighth less , lard should be used than butter, land ihe liquid should be Increased ! slightly. In substituting lard or iothr fat fnr butter in cakes, care should be taken to beat the cake mixture thoroughly as heating In creases the tenderness and nppar lent richness of any cake, Cook Meal That . You Know How For Your Guests Cook n meal you know you can cook, take no chances with uncon genial guests, und plnn, shop and j prepare It early, nd vises. Sarah Weld Splint, director of McCulPs department of cookery and house- ! hold management, in the Septem ber Issue of the magazine, telling J how to give a successful dinner- J party. He sure and find time for rest before tho dinner hour, for no party is u success unless the hos tess is rested and cool, says Miss Splint: "What you serve will depend very much upon what help you I have. If you have neither cook nor waitress and by far the greater number of American house holds 'are servnntloss you will plan a meal which you can cook perfectly: which will necessitate your getting up from tho table the fewest times possible; and which will not bo spoiled by delays in serving. Certain foods, we know, should ho served the minute they are ready. Such dishes are not for the dinner party in the house without a maid. "For your first course you may serve one of the following foods: . "Soup; half grapefruit, or melon; fruit cocktull; fish cocktail ( oyster, lo bster , era b- m eat o r shrimp); hors d'oeuvre; canape.- "Which ever you choose, you must be sure that you can serve it very hot, in the case of soup; or very cold, as in the case of grape fruit, melon, fruit and fish cock tail; or moderately cold as- hors d'oeuvre and canapes. "Tho main course will consist of n meat and vegetables which you feel reasonably suro ' all your guests will like; the more unusual foods are often tempting to a hos .tessjooking tor.-.nftvejv.bVit-ainlosfj Hhe-- knows they are popular, with her guests she had better avoid them. And the service, necessary to this course should be reduced to tho minimum, even with one waitress. Don't plan a scries of sauces, gravies and other accom paniments . which must be passed i.o each guest, for by tho, time the last person has been served with these accessories everyone else's food will be stono cold. "You will plan a salad course, if you are without u maid, which can be arranged on the individual salad plates and set away in the refrigerator long before dinner. The dressing, though ready, will not be added to it until Just before you bring It lo tho table. 'For- dessert you will select something which can bo prepared in the morning of the day of your dinner.. It must also require . only a minute or two of your time to make it ready for the table. , "Here are two menus appropri ate for the dinner party: Informal Dinner Menu No. 1 Watermelon Balls In Grenadine Syrup Celery Ripe Olives Roast Turkey Glazed Sweet Potatoes Lima Beans Chiffonade Salud Marron Ice Cream Rolled Wafers Sailed Nuts Mints Demi-Tasse A More Elaborate Menu for Dinner .

Violet declared it was the peo ple who made the books fault, not the teachers. After exchang ing angry words they parted for the evening at Violet's gate. She ran up to her room not speaking to anyone nnd locking the door, she slammed her books on the table. Yes, she was angry. "I wll never, never speak lo him again In my life," she stormed to herself as she brush ed her bright red hair. Timothy sulked all evening and went to bed early, as nothing seemed to please him. He would get even with her. You bet! Rut how? Timothy thought for several long minutes before he could satisfy himself with a good plan for revenge. He would make her sorry and how easy It would be.

W- -f.h HINTS FOR THE MODERN HOUSEWIFE Long Sheets Make Beds More Comfortable CHEETri are k familiar necessity tn every household. They are In fact so essential that a number of Important details In connection with their use ufe often overlooked. To be thoroughly useful, attests should do three things. They should contribute to personal comfort and health,. They should provide ade quate protection both to tht In dividual user and to the bedding with which they are used. They should also conform to the useful principles of good taste and econ omy, ' ' ' In considering these require ments, length U the most Import ant single tuctor. It Is a detail however, wnloh a great many per- none do nbt remember when they are shopping for these household textiles. ! Just how necessary or adequate length Is ror comfortable and well made beds may be seen If a Klfi Inch sheet is taken for purposes of Illustration. This and other stand ard Bizoa are Invariably tho "torn length," or tho slxo before hem ming. Allowance must therefore be made for hems and for shrink age In -order to determine the use We See A unique publicity experiment was tried recently by our Pennsyl vania Federation, with unusually interesting results. As udvaneo publicity to create interest In the tenth annual convention of the stale federation, a questionnaire was sent to tho presidents of tho Business and Professional Wom en's clubs thruout the state. This questionnaire reads us follows: 1, Are women too ueusitlvqu to be a success In busings? 2. Do women talk too much? 3. Are women good only in delail work? In other words, do they ihn k executive minds? 4. Does tho business woman hnve lo wear strictly tailored clothes, or can she wear frilly clothes and still command re spect? r. Does the masculine woman ap peal to men moro than the feminine type? tJ. Is woman's prime Interest mar riage? 7. Is marrlago n hindrance to the business woman? 8. Aer women In business more In terested In marriage or a pro motion? Women nro npt to be ovcr-sensl-tlvo In business, Is the consensus of opinion, al tho there wero sev eral strong negatives. There was a toss-up In tho re plies to the second question; GO per cent said yes and the other fiO per cent no. Ono answer was, "Ves, so do men." One hundred per cent strong voted nay in Ihe third and many answers indicated that women ex ecutives nro keener than men be en use of their intuition and ublllly to grasp details. Miss 10 Hen Marshall of Sharon gave this Illuminating and compre hensive answer to question number three: "Nover! Consider how compara tively short a time It has been pos sible for women In business to reni h the executive field; anil how comparatively many women execu tives there an- today. Men will, of course, outnumber them in these positions for some time to cume Borne was not built In a day. Consider tho numerous large domestic establishments, mti naged as a matter of course by women, as they always havo been. And consider tho countless succeHsful little homes, where "Mother" wise ly plans and capably administers the many and varied departments. How many business executives are called to so grilling a task as this? Thousands of women have accomplished It, "cum magna Inude," Do you remember the day when woman In th home had to ask with fear and trembling for a little money ? How stale those Joken nr lodny. Tmiiumtow a re-uunldi.-uiii business woiiU will be ful length of the sheet. With! proper allowance for hems tn the case of a 108-tnuh sheet It has been found that the average length when ready for sale Is about 103 Inches. Making further allowance for shrinkage, which will continue for at least twelve successive launder Ings, the' useful length Is still fur ther reduced to 91 Inches. This Is tn fact, the minimum which discrim inating housewives can depend up on for satsfactory use. The average bed Is 71 Inches long. The mattress averages 7 Inches tn length and 6 Inches iBi thickness. With a sheet that will show a useful longth of tl Inches, It Is dear that this Is not to) generous to provide ample tucking! : undor at each end. Furthermore, , tho top sheet, In order to give the i Croat ent comfort and 'protection to Ihe rest of the bedding should be : lonrf enough to tuck In securely at ; tho foot and then turn back about! half a yard, or the average length of one's forearm, at the top. Short sheets are. always an an-; noyau co to the sleoper and they j make the task of good bed-making , much more difficult than U has I any reason to be. Ourselves asking, "Do you renimber how we used to ask whether women could fill executive posts?" There were no posltivo or nega tive answers lo quest ion number four but good taste was cited as the first requisite. It woh agreed that clothes should reflect the character nnd good breeding of the wearer and be patently suited to the place, the time and the work being done. "Go read some statistics on the spread of beauty shops save my time," was tho terse nnswer of one successful business woman to num ber five. Of the representative group of business women, not ono replied that In her opinion men preferred the masculine typo of woman. Which should off-set the much quoted statement that 'busi ness Is doing much to destroy woman's Inherent charm her feminity." Tho house was divided on whe ther womnn's prime Interest Is marriage. More than half voted that it Is not. Marrlago Is not a hindrnncc to the business woman In the opinion of 75 per cent of the heads of the clubs responding. One president volunteered the following answer to number seven: "No, a help." There wero nvoslons and qualifi cations regaqrdlng the Inst ques tion, A few answered positively for marriage and several for pro motion, but everything depcndH on circumstances, said the majority of tho answers. To quote Miss Marshall again:' Welt, clrcum stances alter coses. In general I should say they aro moro Intercut -ed In a promotion; because with more of them promotion would probably be the Immediate 'bird in tho hand,' and marriage merely 'In the bush,' After all, woman is the , practical sex nnd promotion un der most any circumstance' ap peals to a practical mind; It usual ly iueiiK more money and even if you do expect to marry, and quit work, you can use the money in Ihe meantime." f KKorrlnlng Troubles Next lime you find things at sixes nnd sevens and troubles lined three deep across your pathway, ptit on a comfortable old pair of low-hceled shoes ond get out in thn open.
