Fashion Notes One and t w o-p i e c e pull-over sports models are in high esteem with Dame Fashion; French flannel and kasha lead in sports fabrics. The boyish type of cos tume is one of the strong est notes in French modes. — i Skirts are decidedly shorter — twelve inches from the ground; waist lines are low. Ostrich is used prom inently as border trim ming on evening dresses, as a fringe on wraps and for collars and cuffs. To be smart this sea son you should wear the tailored suit. And a posy on the pocket and sleeve is right in line with the latest— replaces the monogram. Nifty! Not? Wear the straight and m and simple frock this sea son and you will be cor rectly and modishly dressed.

THE passing of the lisle ami cotton stocking is as evident as the passing of the horse-drawn vehicle. In great-grandmother’s day girls knit ted their own stockings, and, perhaps those of Mother and Dad, sister and brother—but our imagination refuses to stretch sufficiently to visualize such a time, much less contemplate the partici pation in such a performance. Economists, reformers and other wor thies may declare that “When Grand mother was young and girls wore cotton stockings—times were better.’’ But grandmother herself will smiling ly tell you, if you happen to be the clerk, that she still wrears lisle hosiery “around the house,’’ but prefers silk hosiery for “Sundays, holidays and social affairs.” She might add that she doesn’t want them too thin, although it has happened to the best of clerks, that grandmamma will want them as thin as daughter or granddaughter. And, why not? Never before has hosiery played such an important part in milady’s dress. Never before has hosiery been under such severe criticism and discussion. “They ’re too thin, or the colors are too bright, but honestly, now don’t you just love pretty hose in all the variegated colors that obtain today? The time when one’s hosiery was black if one’s shoes were black, or brown if one had brown shoes—has passed. Today, the clerk must suggest a color that will either contrast or har monize with the ensemble of the well dresed wo men’s outfit. Then there, is the mat ter of color names: I won der sometimes if it would not be a good idea to list all of the color “names” in a sort of dictionary for a nice, new fancy name, and then apply the name to whatever color she might choose from a com plete stock. But. all joking aside, no season has ever produced as many or as lovely col ors in hosiery as the Spring season of 1924. The Dawns and Sunsets, the Nudes and Peaches—all look good enough to “eat”, notwithstanding the rage for ultra mode and color. The con servative dresser can still select colors at once modest and pleasing. The soft tan shades (without pink), the ever popular gunmetal of the like are still to be had. and are still in perfect good taste. We hear th^t New York is wearing white hosiery, but we would like a con firmation of that statement. Those lovely colors above described are still favored among many of the better dressed wo men in the middle west and on the coast. Now. as to the weight of one’s hosiery! Naturally “Chiffon” hosiery gets the highest vote. But semi-chiffon, a sheer hose created for the more conservative woman, is very much in demand. Service weight hosiery still has its place in many a woman's wardrobe. But all of them are silk—what is to become of the lisle and cotton stockings? When silk hosiery gives a< much service as lisle hosiery and costs only a fraction more, why should lisle or cot'un hosiery be worried about. Today, the careful shopper can pur chase a good silk-and-fibre hose at a small cost that looks better and really wears better than the ordinary lisle or cotton stocking. Silk hosiery is getting better with every produc tion. Everything consid ered Good Silk hosiery to day is cheaper than it was before the war — and, what is more, it’s better than ever. The flapper, the mother of six, the grandmother, and even great-grand mother. will agree nothing is so satisfying as .nice, soft, silky hose. We agree, don’t wo?

OTHER CRACKER USES A La Mode Ckeeit Crackers Spread crackers with cream or cottage cheese. In center of each cracker place a ring cut from a large stoned olive. In center of olive place a tiny hall of cheese sprinkled ’ with paprika. Hogcjr-Crtkaai Spread a graham cracker with butter, and an other with extracted honey. Place them together and eat with a glass of rich, cold milk. This is delicious combination and one that is especially relished by children. It is right in food value an.I satisfies the child’s natural craving for sweets, which is too often satisfied with candy to lh>* detriment of the child's health. Picnic Stew In a bowl of hot milk or half milk and half cream, put a half dozen or more of crackers broken into quarters. Then add butter, pepper, salt, etc., just the same as for an oyster stew. An enthusiast says: “Tastes just as good as an oyster stew- and is a whole lot more easily digested, as well as being more nourishing." Picnic k|(i Break soft-boiled eggs into a cup or other reccptable in which three or four finely rolled crackers have been placed. Add butter, salt, pep per, eLc., to taste, mix thoroughly—and enjoy yourself! Picnic Daintiea Mix a chocolate paste from cocoa or ground chocolate and condensed or evaporated milk. Spread a cracker or wafer with this chocolate paste. Then dip into a dish of shredded or thread cocoanut.
