Since that time word has been receUed from Paris that the fall models, which the couturiers arc now preparing for the Inspection of American buyers, are ex traxagantly trimmed with fringe, so one who may be hesitating on the advisabil ity of using fringe on her new frock may feel quite assured that not only Is fringe good nt present, but It will remain In fashion for some time to come. The use of fringe Is not confined' lo frocks, but Is also used on capes and even on hats. One might suppose that quite the stubby sort of fringe would be 'the kind which trims the hats, but while the narrow wldttv Is popular for' hats and edgings of veils, the milliners hae found a remarkable number of designs that are enhanced by the use of the wider widths of fringe. Kor the woman who Is looking for an appropriate frock for afternoon wear and one which may be utilized for In formal dinners, she will find the model which the artist has sketched today a very practical affair; besides, It ex emplifies one of the ways of using silk fringe.

C. Why can't the boys slay at another hotel In the tame town? Unless there is a chaperon with the girls It isn't the thing for the boys to come and stay for the week-end at the same hotel where the girls are staying. This view may seem old-fashioned, for I too know that many hold the opinion the girls you speak of hold. But many Spod, sdund, sensible Beet Soup, or Bor&ht (A national Russian dish) For this, like any other meat soup, most any soup bone may be used, ox tails being a favorite choice for their excellent food value, delicate taste and comparatively low price. Set them on to boll, about one pound to two quarts of cold water and a tablespoonful of salt. Saw prepare your beets. Take off the greens from eight or ten young beets about two pounds in weight wash them well under running water, scrape them when raw, chop fine or run them through a food chopper and add the pulp to the boiling soup. Add ten allspice and two bay leaves, and cook for two hours. A half hour before serv ing add one pound potatoes about three to four mdlum-slzed ones and either one cup sour cream or one tablespoon ful of vinegar. When buying beetn always see. to It that the greens are nice and fresh. Since these greens, cooked and treated like spinach, will give a most delicious vegetable, they should be utilised. Served garnished with some hard-boiled eggs, on fresh toast, they will make a fine lunch. Instead ofEggs Orated carrots can be used In place of eggs in meat loaf. Use any loaf recipe ana substitute two or three grated car rots for the eggj. Use a cupful ct to matoes instead of water to mix the bread i..7.h F.mnlov grated carrots In place of.cgCB In pancakes, too.

When We Come Back From the Theatre Jim's Job has not quite reached the point yet where he can afford after theatre suppers, and the other night, when we struck our little house, I just, gave him a surprise. Before we went out I had made some cheese sandwiches, with both the bread and the cheese cut thin. They would have been good, anyway, because I thad flavored the cheese with a few drops of Al Sauce, 'and you know what that means. It Isn't a Worces tershire, you know I call It my "miracle worker." But, Instead of serving- them cold, I toasted them under the hot flame, turning them often, so that the cheese melted and ran down Into the bread.

A Day's 'Wheaties9 Program For breakfast, servo corn mumns or toast made of war bread. For luncheon, serve barley bread or corn dodgers. For dinner, serve oatmeal wafers or corn meal crisps with soup or salad. If a couple of extra vegetables are served, no bread Is necessary with the main course. A good substitute Is spoon bread, which can be made entirely from corn meal without a particle of wheat flour admixture. For thickening purposes ue corn starch, corn (lour or potato, rice or bar ley flour. More Vegetables and Less Bread i , ; The wheat ration Is daily becoming mote restiictert. Other vegetables may also be used more plentifully to make up for the lack of bread. A greater variety of vege tables shotild be served with meals where no bread Is offered and the house wives should study their food values In terms of bread. The following list shows various vege table portions, each one of which is equal In fuel value to two small slices of bread cut one-half Inch thick: 1 dish lima beans. 1-3 cup of corn. 2 medium-sized onions onion. or 1 large 2 tomatoes. :: cucumbers. I cups chopped celerv. 1 oz, lettuce (more than 2 heads). 5 cups chopped cabbage. It should be remembered, however, that when other Ingredients are served with these v-eeetabtes. fher not ulnne i add to the flavor hut they add percen- tihly to the amount of food value. To ndd a few nuts nnd French dressing to cabbage, for Instance, will doubt Its food value. Therefore the same amount that served plain equals two half-Inch slices of bread when treated In this wav becomes equal to four one-half Inch the amount as when served plain. si u-e v ('. M1i,"..

There Is no other unit here representing the American fund for the French wounded. Co-operation has heen easy to get, the members of th auxil iary report, and the piles of unmade flannels and other materials which con fronted them on their Introduction tn the work have diminished, so that few materials in the piece remain. To replace these they are giving card parties' and other benefits, one of which will take place Juno 25 at the home of Mrs. John T. Dee, CI 20 Woodbine ave nue. Donations of cloth have been'glven for the work, several bolts of unb'eacbed muslin havlns been used for undergar ments. , Shipments tn France will go dliect from Philadelphia. The Hint will carry garments for wounded men In hospitals, for convalescents and needy membeis of their families at home. It Is a matter of pride to the women of the auxdlery that they have made all garments to be shipped and have waBtcd nothing, neither money nor material. Observe Strict Kconomy Not a penny Is expended except where absolutely essential. Quilts made of tailors' scraps are warm, comfortable and serviceable adjuncts for the beds of French wounded or their dependent families.
