THE DAILY SENTINEL
Embroldsr Organdis with Wool and

FRENCH woman recently ap-
A pear-ed at a fashionable gath-
ering wearing fish fins and fish
scales on her hat. and before the
day was done news of it went round
the erd. "They're wearing fish
scales in Paris." was the way some
editors received the news.
Doubtless if some French woman
with a complex for attracting atten-
tion were Frankfurter sausages
hunting from her ear lobes news
of it would be flashed to this coun~
"Y. and some worthy Americans
would think that sausages had
quite taken the place of earrings in
Paris.
But it is one thing to set a fash-
ion and another to wear something
that is flashed round the world as
"fashion news."
“'ithin recent years designers
and dreasmakers have striven every
year to devise new trimmings.
They have seemed to realize that
women did not want to have much
change in‘silhouetto. And so they
have had to devise new ways of
trimming frocks and wraps and
hats. just to keep the fashion ball
rolling profitably. So they have
leoked high and low for possible
trimmings. They have used sea
shells and snake skin, they have
used leather where no one ever
thought of using leather before.
Frocks have been embroidered in
straw and hats have been trimmed
with pipe cleaners. .
Of all the trimming ideas that
have been originated within thl.q
period. however, nothing seems to

have met with more general success
than the use of wool embroidery on
cotton fabrics. Oddly enough no
one seems ever to have thought of
it before.
Certainly no one would once have
thought or trimming an organdie
frock with heavy woolen rosebuds.
Yet the effect is charming. adore-
over, it is one of the clever new
trimmings that may with a bit of
patience be wrought by the home
dressmaker. The sketch shows a
mauve organdle thus tflmmed. The
worsteds used were green and pink.

of the ends of the worsted.
Following the usage of the season

HOUSEHOLD
Edlud by ANNE RITYCNNOUSB
BACKYARD GARDENS.
THE unattractive. if not abso-
lutely unsightly. yard adjoin-
ing the back of the dwelling
house was, in days gone by. almost
a necessity. Often it was separated
from the lawn or garden with a
board fence or lattice. But one
ihinl: that often made the backyard
unattractive was that we simply
took it for granted that it was
bound to he so. So we let rubbish
accumulate there. we kept old
wooden boxes there for rubbish.
mix-base cans were in a conspicuous
place. There were paths made of
;old oyster shells or ashes and
Tl‘ltell bits of rope hung up for
kitchen towels to dry on. Old mops
and discarded brooms were rele-
‘g’lliéd to the kitchen porch or back-
:l“(l and often a rickety chair or
_ lc stood somewhere near the
Ilia-ck door,
in the modern house. whether it is
a. country house. farmhouse. a su-
btirl‘an house. or a city house. there
is no excuse for the untidy back-
yard. It is not expensive to have a
cement walk laid up to the back
pcrch and, if possible. runnln: to
in» ccllar entrance. Usually it is
possible to have a lattice under the
back porch fastened on hinges and
to keep the garbage cans slwavs
well cnvercr‘i under there. It is even
porrilwle to eliminate the clothesline
and clothespole entirely. leaving
more space for garden. Clothes
reels. though rather expensivm are
a great convenience. The;- may be
placed fairly near the laundry door
so that you do not have to go far
to ban: out the clothes. and so ar-
rrinzed that you can stand ‘ on
cement or brick platform while you
‘ hang out the clothes.
For tools and z'irdcn implements
llt'it micht accumulate. around the
:nrdrn. it is :1 good plan to have a
won-ion box set in on inconspicuous
place at the back (if the house. This
‘rhould 7e unintcd to match the
hour-e and, of course, should be sup-
plind with a pond cover so that it
need not be left open.

WHAT WOMEN EXPECT
.; ' ‘ ' " FROM Low-z AND LOVERS
LADY giving a. lecture on the
art of life the other day said
women must get new. less
sloppy and less effete ideas of love.
At a. recent concert she heard lovo
defined, among other things. as an
apple-tree. a dragon-fly, a butterfly.
a. daisy. a. bird. and. finally, a
pumpkin.
Gosh. my dear spinster (for she
Was that). that's nothing.
“Why. we've got a song on our
graphophono which goes beautifully
like this;
I
M;- heart is like a singing-bird.
Whose nest is in a water-chute . . .
And all because my love has come,
my love has come to me.
Not that I bought the record be-
cause of that.
It happened to lwe on the other
side of the "Bobbed Haired Babies'
Ball."
And not that I‘d let it affect my
views of love, anyway,
Even if it ever did get played by
accident.
But bless the innocent ladv.
These aren't women's ideas of
love.
They're the song writers‘.
And if she really thinks that our
best young men speak of their love
and emotions in these terms she‘s
painfully. if romantically. mistaken.
Complaints of that “dithery” feel-
ing being all we generally hear.
And quite sufficient unto the love
thereof. I do assure the lady.
Our ideas of love. and I speak au-
all those happy females who have
the honor to be keeping company
with the right man, are concerned
solely with far more practical. con-
crete matters.
Why. we wouldn't give a bean for
any of our admirers who confessed
to a love for us which had in it all
the transcendant qualities of s. best.
home-grown pumpkin, but let him
remark. and as often as he likes.
that we happen to be the peachiest
of the peaches: why. of course.
that's very different and proper.
And what wouldn't we give to
hear that undisputed truth at all
hours of the day . . .!
Ah! that would be telling!
“'e judge our best young men by
the quality or the fervor with which
they affirm we are the most beauti-
ful things that ever happened. by
their insistence or the ancient truth
that we've got all the other peaches
skinned to death. by the constant
echoing of that immortal. "I never
loved anyone like I love you!" By
the humility of their "I can imagine
anyone falling for you. but imagine
you falling for me!" By the fierce-
ness of their "No one will ever love
you as I love you."
All these undoubted signs of true
love may, of course. to the lady
lecturer appear sleppy and effete.
Everyone to their taste.
For us. however. the world's most
beautiful girls. the peachiest of the
peaches. the one and onli'os. we are
quite content.
And we say with Kipling—
. "I took my true love's tender hand.

If this be vanity who‘d be wise?
Then vanity let it be."
A Corner In Cookery
VEGETABLE DISGUISES.
T skillful cooking it is often
B rursible to change the flavor
in: .1 vegetable in the kitchen
so that it is not recognizable in the
dining-room. Usually this is hardly
necessary. for the natural flavor of
a vegetable is most desirable, but in
case a. certain vegetable is not liked
in your house it is often a clever
trick to cook it and season it so that
it Will be. Besides. if you sometimes
chance the taste and appearance of
the old standby vegetables you will
be adding variety to your diet.
French fried onions are del' ious.
Lorre firm onions are needcd. hey
should he cut in fairly thin slices
and then the sections in the slices
pulled apart so that each piece is a
string about three inches long.
The-c should be dipped in egg white
dLIutcd with a little water, and then
in dry cracker crumbs. and fried in
hot for and drained. They seem
like some delicious new vegetable.
thouth they retain the onion flavor.
Cauliflower can be cooked in much
the same manner. First the raw
cauliflower is pulled apart so as to
make separate flowers an inch or so
across. These are boiled until al-
most done. then drained. seasoned.
dipped into egg and crumbs. and
then fried in deep fat. Celery tips
can be dipped in an unswentened
batter and then fried in deep fat.
Cucumbers can be French fried in
the some manner as the cauliflower,
only that they need no previous
parbolling.
A variation on ordinan- cooked
cabbage is made by choppi‘ng the
cabbage fine and then putting into
rapidly boiling. slightly salted water.
It will cook in a quarter of an hour
this way. It should be drained and
seasoned with a little pepper and
butter and more salt if necessary.
The water in which it is cooked
may be used for vegetable soup.
Carrots are delicious when pre-
‘pared like candied sweet potatoes.
They should first be cooked. then
laid in a baking dish sprinkled With
sugar and dotted with butter and
moistened with water. and then
baked about thirty minutes.
SOMETHING NEW.
IS expansion your policy in cook-
ing?
0: this you may be sure. if
For: do not definitely make an effort
to broaden your repertoire in cook-
ing it will naturally narrow itself
down until your cuisine consists of
the fewest possible number of
dishes,
There are broadly speaking three
possible sources for increasing the
number of dishes you can prepare.
You may learn first from the in-
struction of experts either in schools
of cookery or by reading cook
books; you may learn from observa-
tion of dishes served at restaurants
or the homes of acquaintances. or
you may widen your scope simply
by the exercise of your own orig-
inality and ingenuity.
To widen one's reptrtolre through
the last means requires real culinary
talent; however. it is a. talent that
may be developed by practice. Let
us say” that you want a salad for
dinner. Instead of looking through
the pages of a cook book ”albeit
through your own refrigerator to
see what you have on hand; you
look about at the market and gro-
cery store for seasonabls foods and
you use your imagination in agar.
lag out combinations that will be
palatable. There Is one m in
this sort of mm That is
that you will consult only your own
taste and that m. 'of tho
“gin;
sionnlly has a good source fer cook-
ing inspiration. It is easier for her
to get out of a rut than for her
stay-at-home sisters. She treats
her family to new fashions in cook-
ing. she presents them with dishes
that meet with approval by mem-
bers of be: family because they are
assured that'thcv were served at a
highly esteemed restaurant or the
hume of the So-and-Sos. who amt
ploy one of the best conks in town.
THE SUMMER APPETlTE
ERE you ever surprised to
W find that. though you ap-
. preached your meals on a
very warm summer day with the
feeling that you didn't wish to eat
much, you really did eat rather well
after all? Members of your house-
hold mny talk a good deal about the
delicacy of their appetites in sum-
mer, yet the cook usually discovers
that if she presents appetizing and
appropriate dishes they are con-
sumed with as much eagerness as
what she cooks in cold weather.
Doubtless the answer to this ques-
tion of a summer appetite that looms
large when we get to the table is
that. though the warm Weather may
make the thought of hot, heating
dishes distasteful, nevertheless we
most of us spend much more time
in the open air in the summer than
winter and are therefore really in
need of more nourishment. If bo-
sides the mere spending of time in
the open there is participation in
outdoor sports then we naturally in-
crease our appetites accordingly.
Many women take on pounds of
flesh each summer. while they fall
below normal weight in the winter.
and they are at a loss to account
for it.
It is a well-established fact that
when we spend much time in open-
air exercise our systems demand
and can take with advantage more
sugars than when we are not taking
so much air into our lungs. Pussi-
bly we do not need so much fats. for
it is popularly supposed that these
things are "beating." Most impor-
tant it is to eliminate foods that look
hot, thick soups. rich graviu. and
heavy puddings.
Undoubtedly we need what is
knownss“bulk”lfwearetoget
through the summer in good phys-
ical condition. For that reason we
ought not to yield to the tampuuon
to live on milk alone when very hot
weather comes. merely because it is
easy to prepare. There should be
salads and fruit and vegetableu
aplenty.
BACON A! GARE ISH
Bacon is a very picturesque as
well as a delicious garnish. It can
be used on many salads to add to
both their appearance and their
taste. ' '
Take. for instance. potato salad.
Two strips of broiled bacon. done
just and evenly browned, laid on
a plate of potato salad make the
dish something quite out of the
ordinary.
Crisp curls of bacon add much
to the appearance of broiled fish.
' An omelet may be garnished
with bacon. and so may tomato
salad. broiled chops. and a dish
of weaned . potatoes. Indwd.
creamed potatoes and broiled
bacon served together form a very
satisfying luncheon dish.
