F you would know the secrets of style in outdoor clothes, then London is your hunting ground. But for that subtle something which gives charm and femininity to afternoon frocks and house dresses-then Paris should be your Meccn.

The great dressmakers there are still past-masters in the art of putting glamour and individuality into the simplest of frocks.

This season, for example, she is using gold sparingly, but with a glittering effect. Embroideries, sequins, tiny crystal beads worked in the form of scrolls, edgings and butterflies give galety and life to an otherwise plain frock,

Parts realises that gold used alone on a dark colour can give a heavy "uniform" look, so she adds touches of bright threads in scar- let, green or royal blue.

Sketched on this page are the four afternoon frocks I liked best at the big Paris houses. As you see, cach one has the new short skirt, and is simple in outline, the only extravagance being the embrol- dcry.

Boleros are young looking and the black crêpe frock has a circu- lar yoke of multicoloured .cm- broidery, the tiny collar and sash being in orchid pink.

Motifs of gold beads in varying sizes down the sleeves is another idea, while Worth outlines the shoulders and slcoves of a pastel

blue frock with dark bluc em- brolderles. Both these styles give length to the arms.

You will find, too, that when pleats or fullness are shown in the skirt, only Ane embroidery on a diminutive scale is used, other- wise the effect would be overdone.

Self coloured frocks with trim- mings of this kind afford £ pleasant change to the many printed materials being worn.

In my round of the shops I notice that this fashion is ex- pressed in sequin butterflies and differently shaped motifs quite in- expensively priced, as well as motifs of brightly coloured sequins with gold beads forming the outer border. A flower shaped trimming in the form of a brooch is a pretty ornament for the shoulder or hair.

Of course, it is not only on crêpe frocks you find these gay trim- mings, but neat little tailored wool dresses have their own embrol- derles carried out in brightly coloured wools.

Edgings of this kind take the form of tiny flowers, or are twisted into scrolls or yandyked designs to give variety.

BUTTON HINTS

WHEN sewing on buttons that are meant to be decorative, it gives

a professional touch if you use thread that matches the material--not the buttons.

Remember, when sewing four-hole buttons

on clothing, to sew through only two holes separately first, then fasten off; then sew through the other

two holes. The buttons will be much firmer, and should

way the other will hold.

it is a good plan when sewing on coat buttons to sew them over darning needle, then pull out the needle. The buttons sewn on in this way will be more easy to fasten, and though they appear looser than it sewn in the ordinary manner, they will not pull off nearly so easily.

Before covering wooden moulds for buttons, the moulds should be bolled in strong sodu water for ten minutes, rinsed in cold water, and left to dry. The boiling process prevents the from staining the material when the dress is washed.

When using double thread for sew- ing on buttons, you will have no trouble with

When putting a lurge button on thin material, it is advisable to give extra strength to the fabric by using a backing button. This should be n small one, but if a large button has four holes the small one should have the same number.

Sew on the large button with a few threads, and then join in the Ismaller one on the wrong side.

Tasty Ways With Veal

THERE are many succu-

lent dishes in which veal plays an important part.

To make a delicious veal casserole, cut two pounds of veal in small pieces. Wash, prepare and dice one onion, one turnip, one carrot, ahd a little celery, Put all into a casserole and add one ounce of pearl bar- ley, Add a quart of water, finely chopped parsley, and seasoning to taste. Simmer gently for three hours and serve with toast. Here is a thick yeal soup: --Cover with water and boil separately a knuckle of veal, and three pounds of tripe. This will take about three hours. Then skim off the fat and put the liquera together in a pot, Cut the tripe into small pieces and do the same with the veal; add to

The

liquar, with three large potatoes and two onions. Thicken the soup when boiling with little flour. Season to taste and also add a

a little thyme,

Veal mould is especially good:- Mince sufficient veal for your needs (the veal must of course be cooked first), weigh it, and add half the weight in fresh bread crumbs and two beaten eggs to every pound of

ment.

Season well with pepper, salt, and chopped onton and parsley. Mix to gether and moisten with a little stock. Form into a roll with the hand, and flour to prevent sticking. Tic up in a pudding cloth and steam for one hour. Press between plates with a weight on top until cold. Remove the cloth the next day and gluze. Serve in slices with a plece of bacon or ham and salad,

This is the way to prepare venl steal: Peel half a pound of mush- rooms, and when you have removed the stalks, place a little parsley but- tor In each. Then cover with greased paper. Sprinkle lemon Juice over the veal, and season to taste.

Place in casserole with two sllees bacon, and put the mushrooms on top. Cover dish with a lid and put in the oven for three-quarters of un hour.
