I would see Eleanor's smiling face.
I reached the gate and walked

lingered there, but no familiar fict
greeted me
She must be In the waiting room, of

Eleanor came hurrying to meet me. I

And I'would see her at once
There was no use to worry Eleanor
would be there One could always rely
on Eleanor The waiting was interest

unconscious of boring eyes. A soldier,
rtralght and fine in his khaki : a
mother with a tired baby;, a girl with
her lover In a never-ending chsln they

Suddenly I looked up at the face of

In the cool air outside, the rush and

the block "East Ninth street," I said
oer and over to myself Past the glid

policeman I hurried to him
"How do I get to East Ninth street?"
I asked, giving him the house number.
"Take a Fifth avenue 'bus, miss," he
said kindly
"But where''" .
He had pointed out the avenue and
the place where I was to board the 'bus
I thanked him and hurried on.
On the avenue I stood waiting, a
little oerawed All this beauty, these
statelv buildings, made me feel tiny,
lost. I had felt I was bringing some
thing with me. of vslue My talent!
Now I felt almost crushed by the weight
of the success 1 saw around me. The

"Will you stop at East Ninth street?"
I flicked
The conductor stared at me a little

"Snnnnslner Kleanor should not be

Afternoon Frock of Chiffon
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
M
noon frocks are In the dark color
ings and nearly always blue Is the
color. There Is no doubt that a frock
of'a dirk color Is more useful, inasmuch
.as it ls appropriate for many occasions.
A gown similar to the one in tne sketch,
for Instance, would. not be too elaborate,
lergely on account of its dark colorings,
for informal afternoon affairs and even
to wear for shopping.
It is developed In navy blue chiffon
hung over i silk foundation The
foundation skirt of chiffon and the deep
tunic both hae a generous hem of chit
fon. The hem on the tunic Is supple
mented by the trimming, which ls com
posed of soutache braid appllqued in
rows both horizontal and perpendicular
In such a manner as to make a checkea
effect, the corners being held by wheels
made of silk braid The same Idea Is
repeated on the sleeves to excellent ad
vantage. Down the center of the plait
on the bodice and a row on either side
of the chiffon girdle the wheels of braid
are again used as a means of decora
tion. The organdie collar ls embroider
ed In floral design and this makes a
dainty and becoming finish to the neck
fine
The bodice Is held in pinch tucks at
the shoulders and across the bust line,
and because it Is of chiffon the effect Is
lovely and soft It always seems to m,
that chiffon ls the most Interesting of
materials because It may be tucked or
gathered, and yet retains Its beauty be
cause It falls gracefully against the
form For this reason, chiffon ls
adaptable for the very slender woman,
for the Intermediate, or the very stout
The thin woman may use all the fullness
of the material that she wishes and thus
soften the lines of her figure. On tho
other hand, the stout woman may
camouflage her figure by using chiffon
less abundantly and by having It skill
fully draped

CONDITION DRIED PRODUCTS
BEFORE
The Conserver Learns That Fruits Cannot Be Placed in Con
tainers Immediately After They Come
r rom ine
pVRIED foods are not ready to be
-' placed In permanent containers as
tney come from the drier; they must
undergo a preliminary conditioning or
after-drying treatment. So matter how
dry and crisp the surfaces of the pieces
may feel to the touch, there Is a consid
erable percentage of moisture present In
the interior If such material were at
once placed In containers, the moisture
present in each piece of material would
gradually distribute itself equally
throughout the piece, while the air
within the can, would become almost sat
urated with moisture, and spoilage wc-uld
soon begin. '
In older to avoid this danger, secure
a number of good-sized wooden boxes
equal to the number of different products
you are going to dry, line these with
clean wrapping paper or newspapers,
provide sheets of closely woven mos
quito netting or cheesecloth to cover
them, and place them In a warm, dark
ened room As material ls dried, bring
it directly from the drier and place It
In the box set apart to that particular
product, covering the box with cheese
cloth so that the air may hae free ac
cess to the contents while insects are
kept out At Intervals of a day or two
stir the contents of the box thoroughly,
and when a fresh batch of produce Is
brought from the drier mix It thoroughly
with that already in the box.
Continue this process for ten days to
two weeks. During the first part of this
time the products apparently will take
on moisture, crisp and brittle pieces will
become pliable and leathery, and the In'
experienced housewife may be led to
fear that the whoie mass is about to
spoil. But the material will then grad
ually become drier by loss of moisture
to the atmosphere and presently it will
become apparent that no change la oc.
curring ip it from day to day. Now
remove the,' material frpm the boxes,
place It in the drier or in the oven of
the stove and heat It gradually up to
180 degrees F, to "destroy any insect
eggs which may have been deposited In
It, and at onceplace it in permanent
containers.
A considerable variety of containers
may be employed for storing dried vege
tables or fruits? The essential features
of a good container are that it shall be
Insect-proof but not absolutely alr-tlght.

In a tin can which has a reasonably
tight-fighting lid, but If a warm, dry.
airy closet or storage room Is available
It Is a much better plan to Inclose them
In a box..
The room In which dried materials
are to be stored must be one which Is
both, warm and dry. The ordinary pan
try or storeroom opening out of the
kitchen Is not well 'suited to the pur
pose, for such a room Is usually kept
rather damp by steam from cooking, and
dried materials readily take up moisture
which they do not have opportunity to
give off Into dryer air. If the house has
an airy attic which itrktpt warm by
flues from the rooms below, it will fur
nish an Ideal place, for storing dried
products of all kinds, which may be sue-'
pended from rafters or store on shelves
near 'the chimney where the heat will
prevent any serious absorption of mois
ture during the winter. For the Same
reason, a closet near a chimney or radi
ator In a warm room Is to be preferred
to storage In an unhealed closet.
None lived In a region subject to
long periods of constant rainfall or
damp, muggy weather, or which are bo
near the ocean that high humidity pre
vails for long periods, it will be neces
sary to employ special care In order to
avoid spoilage of dried products. In
such districts the supply of dried foods
should ,be examined from time to time,
and any portions which appear to be too
moist for safety should be returned to
the drier or placed In. the oven of the
cookstove and heated for a sufficient
period to drive off the excess moisture,
after which they may be returned to the
containers. Under less exceptional
climatic conditions this will not be
necessary' with products which have
been sinTiciently dried In the first plate.
Housing in Washington
The United States Civil Sen ice Com
mission announces definitely to the pub
lic that steps will at once be taken to

stacle In the way of recruiting the chll

mission Is advled by the Department
of Labor that the erection of temporary
hotels and restaurants, to be conducted
under Government supervision for the
use of Federal employes in Washington,

meantime, tno room-registration office,
which is conducted by the District of
Columbia Council of Defense, under the
auspices of the Council of National De
fense. Is able to provide rooming nnd
boarding accommodations for the new
appointees. At the latest report, the
room-registration office had on Its lists
more than B00O rooms which had bn
Inspected and found available for Gov
eminent employes. , ,

w'ould be old enough to do so and really
should put It up at that age. If you
want tO'wear it back now. fasten it at
the nape ot the neck with a shellpin and
let the curls go down your back.
Unless you are too thin do not try to
get fat, afc once you start you may be
come too plump However, (f you are
very thin take three or four glasses of
milk a day and one to two raw eggs.
Keep at this diet regularly besides your
meals and you will grow fatter by sev
