VICTORIAN SAILOR FROCKS

NEW SKIRT LENGTH TO BRING NEW LINGERIE STYLES?

- PARIS.

someone had told you last winter that this summer you Might be wearing a sailor frock, 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 Paris couturieres, a woman who is famed for the designing of clothes which gre both distinguished and smart,

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

girlish all the frocks were, and so short. Most of the seventeen inches off the ground, Abowing the knees of the wearer as she walked. Incidentally they were all worn over white petticonts.

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

Another fashion surprise-white silk stockings are coming in again for daytime wear. They were shown partnering white frocks 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

T this time of the year the gen- [4k eral cry is “Eat, more splads.”

Salads are 'excellent for all meals, for people of all ages, for invalids, for workers, and particularly for young people. :-

A salad provides exactly the right amount of nðurishment and con, of course, be taken with cold meat, cold fish, and, even with cheeso dislacs.

"Let your salads 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 gether. but carefully prepared and 'made to look attractive on plate or dish. Cucumber can be served in the form of dice as well as in slices, and the same applies to beetroot, Indeed, it is more easily digested when cut into cubes than when sileed.

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 greatly to the Bavour of a salad, while a lilile raw cabbage and

few young carrols grated raw will make any salad, more of a meal and less of an accessory to other things..

A Good Recipe

An inviting salad, filled with Im- portant vitamins, is called "June Salad." Here is a recipe:Arronge on each plate a centre of "cabbage" lettuce and then add watercress, mustard and cress, and cucuniber cut into cubes. Around this centre ar- range small heaps of grated raw young carrots, young turnips pected and beetroot cut in

regard to the cucumber, it is important that this should always have the skin left on and be cut thick, Cucumber is indigestible only because it is-sometimes cut so thin that it slips down the throat with- out being chowed at all.
