Oven Roasting Oven roasting as practiced in the ordinary way in stoves and ranges is not considered as good as roast ing before an open fire but meat roasted in this manner does not lose as much of its weight as It does be fore an open fire. The finish of a roast depends upon the amount of hasting it receives. All seasoning should be added when meat Is pur ir. the oven. Fresh killed meat re quires longer cooking than more sea soned meat. Less time Is required in warm weather than In cold. White meat such as pork, veal and lamb should always be cooked well done and never served rare. uhe time required to cook a roast depends upon the size of roast and the heat of the oven usually about 12 to 15 minutes to the pound will turn out a very satisfactory roast. A moderate heat will give the best results without the danger of burn ing. Cream Salad Dressing Cream one cup of butter and one half cup of sugar; add, one table spoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of mustard and a pinch of cayenne pep per; then, four eggs well beaten; next, one cup of cream; now, one and one-half pints boiling vinegar, (a lit tle at a time); then, place over fire until It nearly i#dls, remove and bot tle.

I SUITS THAT WIN FAVORJN PARIS Costumes With Long, Half-Fitted Jacket and Slender Skirt in Front Rank. SIMPLE SLOTHES ARE LIKED Parisiennes Not Slaves to E\^ry Dellp, ious Creation That French Cou turieres May Put Out, Cor respondent Says. In Paris there Is a marked prefer ence for extremely simple toilettes. In fact, writes a prominent fashion corr^ spondent, the tailored costume of el most classic style Is now tremendously fashionable with Its long, half-fltted Jacket and slender skirt, the latter either plain or platted. A costume of this type Is more Apresentative of the real Paris fashions than anything Zou ave, African, Czecho-Slovak or Egyp tian. The Parialenne, therefore, may rightly claim that not all women in France are extravagant nor are all of the Paris dressmakers producing ex treme effects. Fashions are often misrepresented, and through this misrepresentation one might gather that the taste of the present-day woman Is for clot In* that are showy and extravagant, rather than those that are beautiful and simple. Many people, when view ing the new fashions, are Inclined to talk of the things which are ex treme and unusual, rather than those that are simple and refined, which latter the best-dressed women buy. i The women of Paris, even more than those of America, are misrepresented In this way, so that It would appear that the Parlslenne is a slave to every delirious creation that the French couturlere may put out. A mannequin at the races wearing some bizarre costume will be Immediately proclaimed to the world as wearing the latest Paris fashion, when per haps this dress Is- the only one of Its kind seen during the whole season la Parts. Simplicity Sought After. What more simple and economical than the tailored suit or blue serge dress, both of which are now and have been for some time pre-eminent in Paris fashions? What more refined than the models which the leading dressmakers create for their own pri vate customers? That this sim plicity Is greatly admired and much Bought, regardless of the publicity at tached to the bizarre styles, Is proved by the fact that certain houses in Paris who cater entirely to private trade are sought In a roundabout way by purchasers of models. One house In particular that has a great Parts following and which be cause of this refuses to sell to manu facturers or dressmakers, preferring to keep their models exclusive, can and do get from their private trade from 2,000 to 8.000 francs each for their simple silk crepe dresses made without one stitch of embroidery, lace or trimming of any character. Even One of the new fall suits developed In plain and plaid woolen, a combina tion that is being emphasized In au tumn collections. the hems are only hand-rolled, and the dresses, which are little more than slips with pendant cascading panels or handkerchief points, are without lining, guirope or undersleeve. Some of these models have not even a hook. They slip on over the head and a sash ties around the waist. Yet for this simplicity and grace the dis criminating I’nrlsienne will pay 50 per cent more than for a dress with trim mlng, which lacks the cachet of sim plicity, individuality and perfect cut. Tailored Suits With Fur. For the autunyi there are charm ing tailored suits in redingote style trimmed with fur bands. Sometimes these redingotes have plaited full ness let into the skirts. Simple fall dresses also are being shown in both redingote and apron styles and new wraps are in perfectly simple outline. In dresses many variations of the redingote appear. They may be made entirely of cloth and trimmed with braid or with a slip or underdress of Dress of gray satin and dark blue vel vet. The long mitten sleeves are of the satin embroidered in blue to match the velvet. satin and a long redlngote of cloth. j Many such frocks have high collars which button tightly about the throat : *nd are faced with a contrasting cloth. Autumn skirts are somewhat longer than those worn during the spring and summer. A skirt with Its hem ten Inches from the ground Is smart, yet not extreme. A redlngote suit developed in green velveteen has a plaited skirt and the coat Is trimmed with skunk fur. In this model we see the beauty and grace of the suit with a very long coat. In past seasons women have de clined to accept the long-coated suit, saying that It had a tendency to make one look older. This, however. Is not true of the really long coat. Nothing could he more glrilih than a suit such as this one, giving,'as It does, the ap pearance of a one-piece dress with an underskirt. Another example of the redlngote type is evolved from brick-red broad cloth material, and the trimming Is kolinsky fur. Ideal Dress for Street Wear. One of the newest and most popular blue*-serge dresses Is very much like the redingote suits In outline. It gives the effect of a skirt and a very long coat, although It is really a one piece dress. The trimming consists of bands of tailor's braid of the same dark blue hue as the frock. It Is an idpal dress for street wear in the au tumn. Braid ns a trimming has found con siderable favor In this autumn’s fash ions. Dressmakers are showing great originality In their methods of using this trimming. Not content with braid alone, they hav^ stitched It in silks of contrasting colors and applied It In ways that give the effect of new and elaborate embroideries. Often the. braid Is embroidered by hand. The new square-hanging satin man tle Is of the very heavy quality which Is being used for street wear this fall. The trimming Is moleskin, a fur which wi vie with squirrel In popularity this winter. Great stress Is laid on satin for wraps of all sorts. The satin of 1920 Is a striking example of the wonder* ful progress that has been made in the silk Industry. One never would suspect It of being even a distant rela* live of the stiflT and lustrous satins of bygone days. In past years satin coats were considered suitable for el derly ladles only, while a wrap of today's satin Is youthful. Lining silks are quite as handsome T those from which the garments emselves are made. These are beau tiful Chippendale prints and mikado Jacquards, both of which have radium backgrounds. The Chippendale Is printed In multicolors In Japanese, butterfly, leaf and liower motifs, while the mikado jucqnurd Is brocaded In conventional aud floral designs in self colors. A strong fancy Is manifested at the present time for plaits arranged in groups of ten to twelve, with plain spaces of ear a I size Intervening. There are dresses on which the trim ming consists of inserted plaited bonds surrounding the skirt in rows. Many of the new printed silks / axe worked up in this way. DADDY! EVENING AIRY TALE _ i <& Mary Grahanv Bavmer INDIAN PIED HORNBILL. “We really have quite Interesting ways,” said Mr. Indian Pied Hom blll in the zoo to Mr. Gray Struthldea known as Gray Crow. “I know you have,” said Gray Crow, “or rather I have heard that you had. And now that you are a neighbor of mine it would give me great pleasure If you would tell me something about yourself and about the ways of the hombllL” “Will you tell me of your ways tool" asked Mr. Hornbill. “I will,” said Mr. Gray Crow, “with great pleasure. But you tetl me your story first. I am eager to bear It Tell me how you live and of the strange ways you have. Not that they are strange to you of course, but oth er creatures' ways are strange to others than themselves.” “That’s so,” said Mr. HorobilL “That’s so. Well, we come from the Himalayas—mountains you know." Gray Crow nodded his head. “We build our nest in a hollow tree. When Mrs. Hornbill begins te sit on the eggs I close the entrance of our home with clay leaving a nar row slit through which I always feed her. That makes it safer for her and for the eggs and I watch over her and see that she gets enough to eat and that the home is safe. "She never leaves the nest until the young can fly. She Is a very good aDd devoted mother. Do you like usT We’re pretty good-sized and our eyea are bulgy and our beaks enormous. 8 "I Think I Will Hop." We hop along our cage bar bending op and down in a most ridiculous way. You see we try to be graceful and move gracefully, and since we can’t be so, we do foolish things. “Instead of moving quietly so folks wouldn’t notice and see how un graceful we are we bend up and down and backwards and forwards and try to be graceful though we know we can't be! We’re rather ridiculous In that way and often people stop and laugh at us as they pass us by here In the zoo. Now you tell your story Gray Crow. I’ve told mine.” “And a good Interesting tale It was," said Gray Crow. “I was especially In terested In how you and Mrs. Homblll did when she was sitting upon the eggs. As for my story—It doesn’t amount to so much. I come from East Australia. We are very sociable and friendly and go about in great flocks. We like each other and mix about a great deal. “We live along barren, or bare, ridges where we feed on seeds which we get out of pine cones. We are us ually told that we belong to the crow family, hut no one seems to be quite sure of that. So we can’t be quite sure ourselves. I’m called Gray Crow here as a name, they’re not sure whether It Is a right name and when there is such confusion about It It Is hard for us to know! “We’re Just the same size as the crows. We’re of a gray black color. Don’t you like the way we all sit la a row so very near together on the bar of our cage with our hacks turned to tlie people. A number of people have laughed and chuckled to see ns all huddled together, sitting side by side and everyone of us with our backs turned upon our visitors! “Now I think I will hop over the backs of my friends as I want to have a little nap In yonder corner. It doesn't make any difference to the members of my family if I do hop over their backs, it doesn’t make any dif ference at all. But I thank you, Indian Pled nornblll, for your story, and am sorry that mine Is a bit ridic ulous. “By the way do you see that speckled brown wood thrush? There Is a lady In the zoo who Is fond of birds and who Is looking at ns and talking to the keeper and asking about us. That speckled brown wood thrush wants to be known. He is out of his cage as the keeper says he is so tame and he Is following the lady about wherever she goes. “He’s certain of being known, all right, all right. And they say that the Emeus and the ducks and the small birds too, make sure that their little ones come to the zoo just the same as they'd see that they came If they were free. They want their families to become known, that Is gertnln. “Well, I must hop off. Good-bye." , - ' i Most Important Canal.
