There aro reasons for tho various combinations of vegetables with mcatB as to flavor and with frulta,' acidity as well as flavor. Red moats seom to call for white vegetables. Potatoes, onions, stewed celery with steaks and roasts. Frlcassood chicken with rlco Is a time-honored dish, and young onions' go well also with chicken and pork, whon roasted. Poas with lamb, asparagus with mut ton, and ovon with boof it la not to bo overlooked. Without having a practical knowledge- of tho composition of food sub stances, wo will all by somo Instinct comblno foods, as for examplo, who thinks of corn boef without cabbage, or roast pork without apple Bauco. Tho vogetablo acids nro rpqulrcd to neutralize tho natural oils. For theso' and other reasons wo llko mint snuco with lamb, orango salad with duck, and so on. Cauliflower, brusscls sprouts and cabbago aro all of tho samo family,' and each goes well with steaks, chops or ham.

Rico, beans and starchy foods should bo accompanied with Swiss chard, buttered beets, or beet greens and servo with lemon or vinegnr. Hominy or corn brend accompanies a roast of tenderloin pork, or tho highly-prized piglet.

For tho busy woman who has much to do, it Is n wise plan to havo a list of reclpos that may bo quickly pre pared on Bhort notice Soups of various kinds which como in cans will, of courso, bo quickly served. Hut creamed soups, of po tatoes, onions, carrots, asparagus and in fnct almost any vogetablo, can bo propared ltnd aorvod in half an hour, if the vcgotablu 1b finely cut boforo cooking. Many kinds of fish, besides tho fried vnrioty, aro easily cookod in hnlf an hour. Escallopod dishes, from cold flsh or other foods, nro ready to servo as soon ns they aro thoroughly hot. A glnnco at tho list of quick dishes will toll you If you havo tho materi als at hand, and tho regret will bo saved that you might havo had this or that lr "I had only thought."

Elaborate and Beautiful Evening Gown MW&m THE Oriental influenco is distinct enough in this elaborato evening gown, in which ono thin fabric after another is draped over the silk foun dation. Thoro is first a skirt of silk voilod with chiffon. Six narrow ruffles aro also veiled with chiffon with a border or tuck of this fabric ex tending below each ruffle. Over thlB skirt a tunic of laco la worn, extending almoBt to tho knees. Ono would think thie qulto enough In tho way of draping, but over this a drapery of gorgeously embroidered chiffon is gathered llko a socond tunic. By way of further elaboration a wreath of scattered chiffon roses on a fuzzy stem extends from the bust to tho hem of tho embroidered chiffon. and a small bouquet at its upper ond finishes the corsage. Tho draped shoulder and opening nt tho neck are finished with a f)ne laco edging. Thoro is a narrow crushed glrdlo of chiffon. Tho natural lines of tho flguro aro followed in this wonderful gown, and NETS AND SHADOW LACES USED FOR THE LATEST BLOUSE THE last step In tho direction of thin materials for blouses Is said. There iBn't anything thinner than nets and shadow laces. An underblouso with sloovo caps, (Mulshed with lnco) is mado of the samo ,not us that UBed over it, in tho waist modol shown hero.

It is mado of rhinestones and a magnificent Bpray of costly feathers. Tho hair Is pecul iarly dressed but suits tho type of face of tho model in tho illustration, which is puro French. Altogether tho gown, coiffure, and hair ornament suit this typo incom parably well, so that the ensemble is full of fascination. Ono could hardly bo other than charming with a tolletto so complete and so beautiful. And it is tho knowledge that sho is making a charming appearance which lends charm to thoso wonderful French women, to whom the world owes a debt of gratitude.

Using a plain net waist as a ioundatlon, moro beautiful effects aro mado by draping laco or chlfTon veils over them and supplying a wido crushed glrdlo of silk or velvet.

Threo such blouses take up so llt tlo room that they may bo carried In a small box or a bag. Thoy are very convonlont for tho southern tourist, and they aro indispensable with tho season's Buits.

(Dy X. BUCKNnit.) Throughout tho mountain region of westorn North Carolina tho good roads sentiment has attained propor tions and gathered such Impetus as to sweep aside objections to expendi tures for good roads, which is usually the case In all progressive movements of groat moment. Tho movement had its inception in Ashevlllo, North Caro lina, when tho Ashovlllo and Bun combo County Good Ronda association was organized by a fow public spir ited men who realized tho loss to this beautiful mountain country by reason of lack of good roads which mado it impossible for not only tho pooplo of this section, but tho tourists and visitors from going from ono point to another. Immediately after the organization of this association, it raised $5,000 by subscription nnd regraded and macadamized tho road from Ashovlllo to Blltmore, a dlstanco of a little more than two miles. This one piece of work in Itself demonstrated to tho Bad Road In North Carolina. citizens that good roads could ba built in tho mountains and it stimu lated all thinking citizens to further effort At tho present time, macadam and sand clay roads havo been and are be ing actively constructed throughout the entire "Land of tho Sky" region In western North Carolina, there al ready being hundreds of miles of I splendid hard surfaced roads winding about tho mountains, across hills and ' valleys from ono section to anothor. The immediate territory surrounding Asheville is covered with a veritable network of good roads which aro of tho greatest benefit to tho farmers of tho country and to tho business peo ple of tho city, and of especial delight to tho throngs of visitors both winter and summer to this most delightful all the year around resort Adjoining counties havo caught tho spirit and forces mny be found build ing macadam and sand clay roads In all sections. To the south Bun combo county has Just completed ma cadamizing the highway to tho Hen derson county line, connecting at that point with a moat splendidly graded road to Hendersonville, a Same Road Aftr Improvement charming and delightful summer re sort, and from that point south to tho Polk county lino across Saluda mountain to Spartanburg, South Caro lina, connecting with tho national highway to Atlanta. This road Is tho lnlot and outlet for nutomoblles vis iting in tho "Land of- tho Sky," many hundreds of which nro hero during the year.
