Gutting Down On Meat . - v. . . . v By LORETTO C. LYNCH. . An -Expert on All Matters Pertain-; ' ing to Household . ' Management V. - ,, With the' recent increase .in the price of meat .the, country over, the average housewife js worried Said a Louisiana housewife to me recent ly, 'I do not know just what we are going to do.. I went to the butcher - U . - . , r . nivy 10 purcnase some top rouna ot beef to roast. The beef was 60 , cents the pound. Think of it why, 10-pound piece -would cost $6." It is all very well to say don't purchase .meat, but the average fam ily demands mea at least once in a while. But while 1, was thinking uo some advice to give this woman I came upon a remarkable man. He was perhaos 50. He looked -40. "What are yon ladies gossiping about now?" be inquired, good-naturedly. And without , ,S . second 1 thought I nresntpd th-nrnhlpm tn him. He smiled. - " - "Well," said he. "if you asked me a question like that two years ago I should have put .you. off and told yon i was not m (rested m foods. "And .then fie went on to tell that after consulting doctors and getting some of every known medicine- a specialist jold him to throw away the medicine and o eat meat only throe times a week " - Wise physician ' He knew' how well nigh impossible it is to quickly change the habit of .a life time. And so he decreed ior -the $50 fee that Mr. C mighf 1iave any meat but pork on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at the principal meal of the day.- .. v ,..- 1 . v, . . What did he have as the principal dish on the othe days? Let's take Monday, op instance. Soup was excluded. . But there was a,delicious Spanish omelet . There were boiled onions, baked potatoes, cold slaw, chocolate pudding , and frosted milk chocolate On another meatless day;; , the"H were nut croquettes and cream gravy and fresh garden peas and spaghetti with tomato sauce and lettuce salad and custard pudding. Not so bad, was. it? And every dajfc instead of spending upwards 'of $1 for .his . luncheon, this m&n now -expended 25 cents for milk' and a few slices of stale .bread. ' fn short, he) attributed his won derful health to this new, modified diet.- Perhaps he has found the answer to the housewife s problem .of the newest high eosf of meat. No solution, however, is possible to any problem unless the. house wife starts to reduce the number of times meat is served in her house hold during the week, she ought to hold a family counsel. . It may be well to show that the increased cost ingoing to ca!use you a decided financial hardship to serve it every day, not to mention two or three times a day. You might also appeal to the love of good health which we all possess but do not always apply to our daily lives, uo not, nowever, aiiow me familv to fall into the dietary error of supplying the meat lack by eating an abundance of white bread. If the family finds it necessary to eat more than two slices of bread it a meal, your meal is lacking in some respect Try putting in more vege tables or try serving -larger portions. White bread often causes the corn mod ,; condition known as "gassy stomach." - . i Among the substitutes for meat are milk, eggs, fish, shellfish wheat, flour, peas, beans, lentils and nuts.' Try the modified diet and watch the family health improve. ?

The L,ast Word in Paris Fashions - V v . f Cool Drinks 1. Dance frock of black satin and '''" - embroidered white tulle.. By MARY BRUSH WILLIAMS. PARIS. (Special . Correspon dence.) The French were a long time coming to that idea of a separate skirt and wafct. A tailored suit for women didn't sound dressy enough for them. When they finally had to accept the suit as a solemn,--established fact, tiny"! tried to take the curse off of it by making a blouse as exactly like it in color as 'the dyeing - industry of France would permit. Thus, we had & one piece dress, with a jacket thrown in. Now, all of a sudden, the fancy for the -tailored suit seems to have hit Paris halrd. They arc making "smoking' or dinner jackets, and three-quarter length coats, and al ways, even in their everlasting one piece dresses, they are making blousts that atjeast look as if they were separate, and instead of dye ing materials to keep both sections in the same eolor, they make the top part and the bottom," even of dresses, contrast. As for the. matter of the contrast ing materials, the first sketch shows the idea in a little dance frock. There are puffed sleeves, a tight bodice, and an apron of black satin, and the last falls over an overskirt of em-broidered- white tulle. The design of the embroidery, consists" of bunch es of roses in all colors. Round the bottom they are trained over a latr tice work of black shiny raffia. If you are making it for the winter I should put this in velvet. , I think the second costume is a wonder. Mr. Woodruff, the artist who has drawn it for this paper, de signed the dress, and Molyneux made it. It has, proved very popular with the French although an Am erican boy created it, and an , Eng lish house made it. '. J... The line of the little cape, is beau tiful. It is of tulle and 'gathered puckered I should . have called it when a little girl until its entire width is bunched at a point on -level" with the shoulders. In the back the entire width spreads, until it makes a straight line from the crown of the head almost to the bot tom of the belt It gives .a 'lovely I 2. Dance frock of sea green tulle with skirt ornament of silver and pearls. line in the back, and completely corr- ceals anv bulging tendency some times displayed in the would-be straight lines of the stout. The frock itself is of tulle, with one design on the front of it, low down on the skirt, for its ornamen , tation. -It is a large, round design in silver and pearls appliqued in silk embroidery. There is a design 'the length of the ceinture in the same color arrangement. The dress, by the way, has been made in different colors; but the favorite of the house which makes it is, I believe, sea green. There is a graceful South American girl who dances in it, and has been likened by various admir ers to a wave of the sea. The next girl isn't a Tap, al though some of Cheruit's best pa trons are. Maybe the artist came away with the image of them in his mind. Anyway, the costume and not the wearer is the subject up for discussion. It is of white linen embellished in open work , embroidery set with catches of white kid. It has been one. of Cheruit's most admired models. The, collar is of white satin, and the belt is of kid, finished with a huge jeMy roll of a rosette in red felt, edged with blue serge. When vou got through with it in ihis capacity, you could use it for the head roll on your sofa but it looks miraculously well just where it is. i I don't blame vou if vou do not believ; me.. The underskirt of this remarkable costume is- of dark blue plaited serge. The cuffs are of white kid. The fourth costume, by Weeks, follows the wide flat silhouette of the day. It is really a very lovely thing. The embroidry, which is the most conspicuous thing about it is of black, bright blue and gold thread, on some thin material wired heavily, over tre hips. The under skirt is of black chiffon, and the bodice what there is of it maybe we'd bMter ca'.l it a belt is of black satin. Th sleeves are of black chif fon and fhey are very much in ef fect like fichu with a ruffle round them that v goes across the back. 3. Frock of white" linen over oark 4.

Invert Wet Umbrella Scfme persons wonder why their umbrella stays always break loose at the tip, or ferrule. It's probably because they sta-.id their umbrellas in a corner to dry, handle end up, and the water runs down and rusts out the joints.
