SUITS
OBB AND LUCY MILNER, in Paris to report the new spring dress shows, give you to-day another highspot of the new designs. But one show does not make a fashion To pretend to give you, before all the shows have been compared, a practical guide to what you will wear this spring would be misleading. Their summing- up, when the last show is over, will begin shortly.
L
Here is Lucy Milner's second bulletin:--- 'Stripes seem to be taking front pince for sporta sults this spring, but more often than not they only resie half of the suit, leaving the skirt or the jacket plain.
This jacket is in bamboo belge whipcord, with a very narrow roll collar, squared shoulders and plain sleeves
New points' about it, which appeared on several other conts, were its length, reaching well down over the hips, and the fact that it didn't even meet, let alone fasten, but was just held together at the waist by a narrow brown belt.
Two pockets were elit in vertically below the belt. Blouse was, made of brown tie silk, printed with beige circles; skirt was brown tweed with norrow belge stripes, cut straight in front, box- pleated at centre back.

Six Ways
with Potatoes
D. K.
'NOWLEDGE of other people's
KN
ways is very useful in the kitchen. Here, for instance, are some simple "foreign" ways with potatoes, which lend variety to the serving of our staple vege- table.
To make a French potato mould butter a plain round mould and coat with brown breadcrumbs. Slice thinly eight peeled potatoes and three ounces of 'Gruyere cheese. Fill the mould with alternate layers, be- ginning with potato and sprink- ling each layer with salt, pepper, and a little melted butter. Bake
in a moderate oven for half an hour and turn out on a hot dish.
Turkish Croquettes
To each half-pound of mashed potato add one ounce of molted but- ter, one teaspoonful tomato ketchup, one dessertspoonful anchovy essence, one beaten egg yolk, and salt and pepper. When cold, form into little cakes, coat with egg and bread- crumbs, and fry in hot fai.
For German stuffed potatoes boke six large potaices in a slow oven. When soft, cut one end off each and remove the pulp, leaving the shell intact.
Mash the pulp and add two ounces of melted butter, two egg yolks, two tablespoonfuls of cream (or warm milk), salt and pepper, and, lastly, two tablespoonfula of grated Par- mesan cheese. Fill the potato cases, moderate oven for 20 minutes,
sprinkle with cheese, and bake in a
Lyonnaise Potatoes
Boll one pound of potatoes in their alkins, being careful not to overcool them. Peel them and slice thinly across the potatoes. Fry them a pule golden brown in hot butter or lard. Keep them hot while frying a quar- ter-pound of thinly-sliced onions, also to a golden brown. It spoils the flavour of the dish to brown them more. Mix the onions and potatoes carefully, Sprinkle with pepper, salt, and finely-chopped parsley. Servo very hot.
Here is a tasty Swedish salad: To ench breakfastcupful of diced cooked potatoes add two tablespoon- spoonful chopped mixed nuts, and fuls of chopped celery, one table- sumclent French dressing to moisten. Hungarian Stew
