VICTORIAN SAILOR FROCKS

NEW SKIRT LENGTH TO BRING NEW LINGERIE STYLES?

PARIS.

someone had told you last winter that this summer you

I light be wearing a saltor truck, very much of the type

Victorian small girls wore, you would not have believed it..

But sailor frocks for grown-ups are being shown in the spring collection of one of the most exclusive Paria couturieres, a woman who is famed for the designing of clothes which are Hoth distinguished and smart.

•The frocks are in navy, with a navy sailor collar in the same material piped with white, and a full skirt. They looked charm ing on petlle, girlish mannequins.

..

Other..navy frocks had corselets and braces, and were worn over fine white blouses, the kind of schoolroom frock they wore in the carly nineteen hundreds.

girlish all the frocks were, and so short. Most of the "Little" "dresses were quite seventeen inches off the ground, showing the knees of the wearer as she walked. Incidentally they were all worn over white petticoats,

!

There's no doubt about it, if these styles catch on, lacy petti- coats will have to be worn, and they'll cause a general revolution of underwear styles. Maybe we shall have abbreviated versions ipf the lacy lingerie worn by the Edwardians.

Another fashion surprise-white silk stockings are conting in again for daytime wear. They were shown partnering white Trocks worn under navy coats, and with navy frocks piped with white.

With each collection the silhouette seems to get younger than ever, only one or two of the famous houses having remem- bered, that a woman cannot always remain seventeen-or look it!

Salad Season

HINTS AND RECIPES

Tthis timo of the year, the gen

eral cry' is "Eat more salads." Salads are excellent for all meals, for people of all ages, for invalids, for workers, and particularly for young people.

A salud provides exactly the right amount of nourishment and can, of course, be taken with cold meat, cold fish, and even with cheese

Let your saintis be more interest ing this year. Don't get the lettuce- watercress cucumber-tomato complex and make your salads of these things · only.

Salads should not be thrown to- gellier, but carefully prepared and made to look attractive on plate or dish. Cucumber can bo served. In the form of dive as well as in slices,

It is not necessary to spoil a salad by the use of the outside leaves of a lettuce, for these can be used to flavour a number of other dishes...

One will find that a grated onion will add grently to the flavour of salad, while a little row cabbage and

a few young carrots grated raw will make any salad more of a ment and less of an accessory to other things.

A Good Recipe

An inviting salad, flied with Im- portant vitamins, is called "June Salad." Here is a recipe:--Arrange on each plate a centre of “cabbage" lettuce and then add watercress, mustard and cress, and cucumber cut into cubes. Around this centre ar range small heaps of grated raw young carrots, young turnips peeled and grated, and beetroot eut in cubes. Keep each kind separate and see that the carrots are scrubbed and not scraped.
