It’s the Individual
Touch That
Counts ,
F your time is limited there is
I often wisdom in prepared food
products. the number of which
in present-day groceries is legion.
But there is also wisdom and good
Judgment in adding little ‘individ-
ual touches to these prepared
foods to add to their flavor or to
disguise the fact that they are not
home made.
The amount 0f prepared mayon-
naise. sold In the‘grocery stores is
constantly on the increase. Women
who at first held back. saying that
they could detect the difference
between homesmade and prepared
mayonnaise, are being won over
to the sort that comes in bottles.
it is quite noesiblo to change the
flavor so that no one would sun-I
pcct that you had not made your
own. The addition of a.
ally if you are using the mayon-
naise on a swuet salad. on banana
salnd. pint-apple salad or apple
salad. for instance.
Some people like the flavor of
ninegar better than lemon juice.
The addition of a very little tara-
izon vinegar adds distinctiveness“
This goes well with fish salads——
lobster. crab and other shellfish.
A little mace. mustard or onion
juice might be advisable in making
dill'erent sorts of salad.
The sort of calm-
bought in paper cartons has been
a great boon to many busy house-
wives. Sometimes you do not have
time to make. cake, bttt you dc
have time to make icing or filling.‘
Then you can buy the ready—made
take. split it ill two. add the till-
lnt: and then cover it With trim:
and you have a cake that has all
the earmarks of the home-made
sort.
There are prepared cake flours.
some of which require only the
addition of Wtitt'l‘ in order to make
a butter that will make excellent
calm. These are good. but if you
add milk in place of water. an
t-xtra egg or perhaps a little but-
tor yott have a cake richer in
n'ttrlmcnt and more flavorsnme.

is an unnecessary extravagance to
get the first cut of meat for the

be used is a long one and includes
some that are good enough in
themselves not to need it. Among
them are chicken. sweetbreads,
ham. tongue. fish, veal. lamb. rice,
potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower. car-

Curried rice is an excellent dish

costumery and designing of all
sorts during the last century and a
half consists of the inflow of Chinese
design. At first it was a. mere
trickling which was augmented until
it com with a stupendous rush. It.
is indeed difficult for us at the pres-
ent day to see how enormous has
been the influence of the Far East
on the design and line of women's
clothes and the houses we live in.
During the countless years that
“stupendous mountains, burning
deserts and inimitable .ocean"—to
quote Mr. Lathrop Stoddard—sun-
dei-ed Yellow Man's land from the
rest of the world, our designers had
a far narrower field of artistic in-
Splration than today, when appar-
ently it is as natural a matter to
design a. hat in mandarin fashion as
a la Marie Antoinette.
Let's hope that the gloomy eth-
nologists who look with apprehen-
sion at "the rising tidt of color."
especially when that color is Japa~
nese or Chinese. will not feel new
alarm in the present fashion for

Chinese embroidery is spoken of
as especially striking in the clothes
shown in Paris for autumn wear.
In fact. sometimes these Chinese

from whatever source he takes his
losing-atom be alwayestefi it with
an ineradicable cachet of France be-
fore he is through with it. How-
ever. in the case of the present
vogue for Chinese design many of
the reproductions have been most
literal. The embroidery of one of
Patou's gowns is copied with perfect
exactness from a seventeenth cen-
tury lacquered screen.
But this (‘hlnese embroidery is
worked on frocks and wraps that
are unmistakably of the Occident.
Among the most interesting exam-
pies of this were the organdies.
frocks of Victorian line, showing
Chinese embroidery on the wide
skirts. One such organdle frock
embroidered with wistarta was worn
with a drooping. garden-party hat

wistarla.

N spite of present vogue for
1 pockets, bags play an increasing-
ly important role in fashionable
wardrobes.
Suede,
metal cloth—it doesn't seem to make
much difference what the bag is
made of as far as lmartness is con-
cerned, for there are smart bags to
be found in all these materials and
douche more. But the woman of to-
day changes her bag as she does her
hat and shoes—to suit the occasion
and the gowri she wears. This does
not mean that she wears a bag to
match the frock necessarily. though
some dressmakers have played the
trick of offering bags to go with
different frocks. but it does mean
that the bag must be in harmony.
One doesn't carry a leather bag with
n. georgette frock. or a bag covered
with artificial roses with tailored
