Fashion Points
Sleeves Are a Most Interesting Part
of the New Spring Gowns.
Sleeves have suddenly become a
most interesting part of our dress:
And the fashion that has made them;
so interesting is the fashion of the.t
sleeveless jacket. i
There was a. time, you know, when:
we could go shopping or to a matinee
Wearing an old blouse the sleeves of.
which were fairly in shreds, so long!
as the collar and front were fresh and
dainty. But that day has passed—~at
least if we possess a sleeveless jacket 5
or sleeveless sweater, as most of us:
will this spring. This new fashion real- !
1y makes for economy. A blouse is al-I,
ways cheaper than a coat and manyl
a coat first looks worn at the end 01“
the summer because the sleeves at the.
cuff are soiled :“-‘. shitty. All that a
blouse needs when the. sleeves become
soiled is a trip to the laundry and for'
summer wear a sleeveless jacket and
a dainty blouse become ideal.
Dotted Swiss is used in some of the
higher priced blouses. ldke butlslt‘n
this forms a satisfactory fabric for the
home worker. . it is possible to get
dotted Swiss with white dots in blue,
rose or yellow ground. A blouse made
of this fabric in color, worn with a;
white skirt and a sleeveless Jacket in
black or white would form the dain-
tiest sort of summer afternoon frock.
The sleeves of some of the new
blouses are well worth special consid- '
eration. Even in the high priced
blouses they are not elaborately trim.
med but they are finished with the
utmOst daintincss and they are care-
fully filled at the arm hole and waist.
Indeed the extcnt of sleeve trimming
consists of a little cording around the
arm hole or cuff, or a bit of lace and
embroidery around the band. The

it is especially necessary to look to
the fit of the sleeve at the shoulder
when the blouse is to be worn with a“
sleeveless jacket. Some women have
a habit of buying blouses a couple of
sizes too large. They pull them in
trlmly at the‘ waist and perhaps they
like to have the broad shoulders of the
too large waist hang well down over
the arms. Nothing looks more unlit-
tractive than a sleeveless jacket won;
with a blouse of this sort.

‘ TO LIQUIFY HONEY
Purchasers of strained or extracted
honey often store it in a cold place and
then when it. has candied or granu-
lated imagine it must he adulterated.
This is an error; the honey may be
liquifled by standing in a larger vessel
containing hot water at about 160 de.
grees Fahrenheit.
If better the honey may he darkened
and the flavor injured; it is better not
to have the water too hot and to let it ‘
liquefy gradually. Keep honey in a
dry, warm place. such as the top shelf
of a kitchen cupboard. In a collar or .
refrigerator liquid honey is likely to
absorb moisture or in time to become
sour.

HIGH COST OF
LIVING HERE AND
“OVER THERE”
Next to the littest news of the war,
the most popular subject of conserva-
tion rs the high cost of living. .
"Yes." complained a woman both
of whose hands were loaded with dia-
monds, “the Food Administration asks
us to save wheat. but many of the sub
stilulcs are more expensive and in
those days of the high cost of living
every penny counts.‘ .
it is true that some of the wheat
substitutes do cost it com or two pm-
pound more titan wheat but. this cannot
be helped for they cost more to tuill.
if they sold for twice. three times,
yes. even if the other corcnk sold for
ten times more than wheat. however.
the Food Administration would still
urge the patriotic, housewives of Am-
erica to use them. for its purpose in
doing so is not to show how cheaply
you can run your household, but how
to hclp win the‘ war by saving the
food the Allies need.
Let the American woman. who com—
plains of the high cost of living and
hesitates to pay these few extra cents
that possibly some. of the wheat sub-
stitutes cost her; read the following
letter which was received by the Bcl-
ginn high commlston of the United
States from Matinee, in the occupied
portion of Belgium.
"We. are all well. We have told you
about the heightened cost of living.
but what will you say to this. lluttcr.
22 francs ($4.40) it kilo (2.2 pounds)
meat 14 francs ($2.80) bacon 21 francs
($4.20); eggs 1 franc 10 centlmes (22
cents) each; a bag of potatoes. 125
francs. (825).” .
Do you still think the prices you are
paying for food a matter for com-
plaint?
