THE BEE: OMAHA. SUNDAY, MARCH 13, 1921. C B Violent Color The Vogue In Paris By STERLING HEILIG. Paris, Feb. 20, 1921. They say that women next sum mer will use as violent colors and contrasts as do the great ladies of Morocco. Here is the beginning of it. Mere are the coIom which they are really wearing in Paris this winter that is, the bona-fide great personages of Paris, and the colors, also, of the rich stuffs which the big houses of the rue de Sentier hold in stock for their next summer's dresses. At the opening night of "Mamak Colihri," at the governmental Thea-tre-Francais, the wife of the p-lsi-dent, Madame Millerand, wo a one-color gown of silver cloth draped with mole-colored inousseline de soie with silver embroidery. Two leading opera stars also wore silver cloth gowns Yvonne de Bray"; with mother-of-pearl spangles, and Mar guerite Carre, with gray embroidery. This silver cloth, it may be said further, was the striking color-note in the gowns of the occasion best indication possible of these new high notes glittering into the harmony of dress. A president's wife, as we know (we call her the first lady of the land) must think of dignity in dress, as well as of beauty and her personal taste. Madame Millerand, doubtless after deep reflection, stands by the new contrasts in which femininity is to flash against the drab tones of existence. The same week, at a dinner fol lowed by a soiree at the artistoratic Interallied club, light-colored velvet gowns werq much in evidence with mauve pink dominating. Madame Ihillipe Berthelot (whose husband has been the chief adviser of the French foreign office in recent ne gotiations with Lloyd George) had a gown entirely in silver gauze with an orange-pink satin girdle falling behind it as a train! This was ac companied by a silver leaf wreath in her hair, with a cluster of fine pearls on the left. At a sojree of 1 er own, Cecils Sorel (a star who has had a great eye for coming tendencies), wore a pink and silver broche gown, . trimmed with failing silver lace ' like "a shining cascade of dew!" On all sucfi occ.-isions a great deal of bright-spangled galloon, drooping down over the ears in artistic de signs, has been worn in the hair. At the governmental grand opera's first production since the war of Wag ner's "The Valkyrie," Madam Louis Barthou (whose husband is minister of war) wore a flat ribbon of dia monds as a head-dress. It wa3 a night of 'diamonds in women's hair, worn mostly in devices like crowns. The gowns were notably in what is called night-blue with spangles. And several of the opera stars who sat in the audience were conspicuous oy sucn gowns Drignt-spangiea lrom neck to knee! A sensational gown was simplicity useii except tor color and handling, It was of unbroken rose taffeta, witn a sleeveless bodice, flat and tight, the cloth of the short skirt clipped into rose petals with a large panel of rose petals falling to the feet. An actress never sets the styles. She can't. How could she? But the actress, being always on the look out and herself being looked on as a super-mannequin, has a chance to show well in advance of common knowledge the tendencies and even the particular creations which are definitely "taking" at the hour they wear them. Regularly rich society dames are ahead of even such ac tresses, but the actress is seen by the greater public. It is magnificent, but it is not style setting! One such is Bertha Bovy, at the Theater Francais, and she has just worn a gown which is pronounced to be "divine." I take note only of its color black taffeta with mother-of-pearl embroidery. What? you say, black and mother-of-pearl? Just wait a minute and "fire-colored" splashes ornamental splashes ot this new "fire-colored" satin. Every one said: "This is what we are com ing to!" Headgear, with all its new shapes, is being definitely made to use as much vivid color as ran possibly be lodged on them. Fruits shining cherries and grapes with the velvet bloom on them, and flowers such as no millionaire's hot-house ever grew, are seen on ladies' hats; and it is said have come to stay.. That is to say, for quite a long time. Just now, the great thing is to make the loud flowers swear at the noisv fruits, so to sneak, on the s - same gentle lady's head. A bright pink cabbage-rose huddles up to a bunch of purple-red fcherries. Or dark pansies lie on the edge of gold en grape clusters. Clustering crab apples look from a daisy wreath. An authority in colors says that he does not believe that womenjiavc ever, in any country, or clime, or age, worn such bright colors and so many of them, and such juxta po sitions of colors on their persons. A few years ago, the cemetery of the Roman Emperor Hadrian's splendid court in "Egypt, by the Nile, was excavated; and the dry sand had preserved intact the bright colors of its great ladies' last finery. Thais of the legend and the romance and the opera are one of them th real Thais. Color schemes were then found which made Paris ' dress makers recoil with wonderment and doubt like wide strips of garnet red on apple green. 0 This year, Thais, herself would ; think that Paris has gone Egvpt one better! STERLING HEILIG. By CORINNE LOWE New York, (Special Correspond ence.) One might. say so frequently about these new dance frocks that we were tinder the lamp shade of the sheltering skirt. To (this lamp shade of the skirt the bodice sup plies the role of taper. For, straight and plain, it emerges from the very dressy nether section. Of the severe bodice and fluffy skirt combination now so popular this little creation of green taffeta trimmed with black lace supplies an excellent illustration. The material between the bands of lace is puffed &nd the sleeves which emerge from lace shoulder pieces are of green tulle. ' Fried Ham A slice of ham no more than one- fiith of an inch thick, if you can get the butcher to slice it that way. will give as much satisfaction as one much thicker, and there will be no danger of its not being thoroughly cooked, as there may when the slice is thick and curls not touching the pan at every spot. Ham is best if cooked long enough, but not fried with a hot fire. Butter burns easily, so if we will fry a thin slice of ham in butter without burning the la.tter it ought to be right. For a slice of ham melt two tablespoonfuls of but ter in pan over the largest burner. Put in the thin slice of ham. turn down the fire to about the lowest point and cook eight minutes to a side. When the slice is turned, at end of first eight minutes, cut edges carefully if they have curled, so that the slice will lie flat. The ham will be tender and delicious if good meat in the first place. If one has a cool and dry place in which to keep a ham it is economical to buy a whole one. and have a sharo knrie tor she insr it thin: Put a piece of oarafirt paper over the cut side. Slice a half or more off and then boil rest. Various Uses of Apples Annlea tr anneal to the aooetite must be delicious if they are to be eaten raw. They should be crisp, cold and full of juice and flavor. If they are not in this perfect state they are best cooked, seasoning can be added to suoolv the deficiency in juiciness and flavor. Salads of which aonle is a com ponent part are decidedly appetiz ing for luncheon, and even a rather tastflrs annle. which we are Olllv too likely to get at this time of the year, can be made appetizing witn th vinegar, lemon iuice and spices allowable in salads. For the table raw apples should be chosen with skins of attractive color. The skins can be rubbed with a damp cloth until they glow, and this is the only doctoring need ed to make them very attractive. i'You must yourself be the one to decide at what time of day raw ap ples, or any other raw fruit for that matter, are most welcomed by your system. ""There is an old saying that fruit is golden at breakfast, silver at luncheon and lead at din ner. But this old saying does not hold good with everybody. Some of us find fruit in a raw state quite unpalatable and even indigestible when eaten, in the morning. The same fruit is decidedly beneficial eaten just before going to bed. Apples as a vegetable are often more appetizing than apples as fruit. Juried apples are ulehcious with cer tain sorts of meat, and apple sauce is the proper accompaniment of other meat. For luncheon, too, ap ples can be served as a vegetable with very gcod results. What's What By HELEN DECIE On the Invalid's Tray Cream Toast. Make thin slices of golden brown toast, crisp and dry. Place the slices in ' a wire sieve and steam until soft over hot water. Then but ter and put in a soup plate about three slices, cut in half. Over them pour white sauce. Make this by heating a cup of milk in a double boiler and then adding two table spoons of flour rubbed into two tablespoons of butter. Cook gently over a low heat until the flour has lost its starchy taste. Season with salt and pepper and serve very hot. Such a dish loses its appetizing quali ties if it is not hot when served, so it should be carefully covered in transit from the kitchen to the room where it is to be served. Eggnog. t Beat the yolk of an egg until it is creamy and add a pinch of salt. Then add enough milk to fill a glass three-quarters full. Last, add the white, beaten sjiff, and sprinkle with grated nutmeg. This is nourishing and, excepting in cases where -raw egg-aimot be digested, is easily as similated. Lamb Broth. Lamb broth can be taken by al most every one. Here is a good recipe for making it. Have a pound of the neck of lamb cut into small pieces and put it in a granite or aluminum saucepan with two cups of cold water for two hours. Then bring it to the boiling point and let it cook just below the boiling point for three hours. Strain and season with salt. This could easily be made in a fireless cooker. Cracker Gruel. Break a soda cracker or two, but tered thin, into a cup of boiling milk and cook, stirring constantly for three or four minutes. Season with salt. Oatmeal Gruel. Cook with half a cup of prepared oatmeal in a quart of boiling, salted water for a quarter of an hour. Rice Gruel. Cook two tablespoons of rice in two cups of salted water. When the rice is cooked to pieces, strain an'- dilute to taste with hot milk. i Tomatoes being of a watery na ture they are best combined with foods that are starchy or solid in hulk, such as macaroni, f ice or ipag- hctti. When "entertaining callers, if new visitors happen in while conversa tion is in progress, it is courtesy to retrace the outline of preceding talk, so that the newcomers may understand the subject under dis cussion. The well-bred hostess never omits this considerate little review, which takes every caller into the circle of intimacy. Above all things, hospitality should be inclusive; under the aegis of her roof-tree the mistress of the house must be cordial to all her guests; there never should be an effect- of unwelcome intrusion. When conversation is broken off abruptly, and not resumed after the new ar rivals have been seated, there is al ways the danger of giving them an embarrassing impression that they may have been the subjects of the too-suddenly suspended conversa tion. .
