Ey erybody demands them, and there is no reason, eve n of economy, why av erybody should not have them. " For there is cabbage for those who can not afford cauliflower, and kale fo: those who cannot afford frosh &pin ach in winter, ' Moreover, there canned spindch for a re; onable price, and this is delicious, if it is heated 'thor oughly and proper seasoned, With fresh spinach, quite as much of its delicacy depends on thérough wash- ing as on proper cooking, As for its codking, YP should be put over the fire in a big saucepan, and a Httle boiling water Should be tovered while cooking, if it js desired to have it as green as possible. When it begins to boil, let it continue t6 de sO for ten minutes, Then drain it and prepare it in any desired fashion. Press it down wnder the water as g00n as possible. The best way to serve is good Spinach is n It Mos* of its fresh green favor is preserved in this way. However: we al] grov tired of sameness of flaver, no matter how good it may be, and there are mahy good ways of serving spindch Cooking Cabbage, Cabbage is.not so cheip this win. ter as it often has heen But it cheap enough for most of us. Jt can be prepared in many delicious ways | that appeal to all but the few who really dislike is in any form. Like spinach, it should be cooked uncov- ered, but for a different reason -- he cause more of the strong flavor boils away; and thé odor is less perceptible than when it is boiled covered.

Where there wherewithal for dress, it is beautifuf enough io Jus- tify its price, but the woman whose budget for clothes is curtailed can carry out the same idea with fine sateen or inexpensive silks. Cream colored sateen with ga dainty figure embined with the same material in biack stamped with a floral design, makes an inexpensive and charming Colonial costume. Soft hatiste may be used for the fichu and undervest, white lace or net frills finish the sleeves. Sateen stitched with silver braid--the kind that cores 48 yards in a bunch for about as many cents is suggested for a cheaper version of the Pilgrim gentleman's suit, If there is one place in the universe where neutrality is strictly observed, it is in the realm of dress. - The most beautiful /of the fancy costumes of Turkish design come from Paris and show all the care and delicate atten- tion that one finds in creations of French inspiration. triped silko- AAA A AAA i and chopped éonrsely, put it -in a baking dish sprinkle it with chesse and Buttered crumbs, and bake brown, It is also delicious heated up in e, heavy white satin abundance of costly fancy is an the line is suggested for the trousers of the Turkish outfit shown on this page, With plain material used for the tu- nic or overskirt. For the bolero and sash, draped a la danse du ventre, gayly flowered silkotine is used. Flowing sleeves cover the arms, but they are fashioned of the most trans- parent material obtainable, In lovely complement to the cos- tume is the turban of figured silkoline wound around in many soft: folds and caught in the centre with a buckle of Oriental design. An aigrette rising from the folds of -the toque adds the occidental touch. " Great variety is shown in costumes for men, and since black and white combinations are so fashionable this season, many of the pierrot suits are made of immense black and white checks, sateen, mercerized poplin, voile, ete., being principally used. The musically inclined masquerader may don the garb of the indolent gondo- lier and, with his mandolin hanging from his shoulder, saunter into the ball room garbed in a suit of white ° 4 dictate--stitched with figures of con- tracting material and sélected for! their astrological significance. As has been said before, the cost of the fancy dress is a matter of personal taste and choice of materials, for much of its effect depends upon the method of development and the way in whieh it is worn. In addition to sateen, silkoline and the fabrics al- ready mentioned, masqueraders seek- ing to produce the best results at smallest cost are also recommended the use of chintzes,' cretonnes and cotton velveteens. All of these make costumes that will answer for more than an evening's pleasure, but cost very little when made at home. The large checks play into the hands of the cubists and futurists most acceptably. The beauty ' of these designs is that they are differ- ent and have the merit of originality. It really does not matter what colors are selected, the more the merrier. Rivalling the popularity of black ani white are cobalt blue and orange; if this combination - is not suffic iently sateen or satin--as taste gnd purse DRESSY COSTUM Skirts of net banded with taffeta n three rows at front, the bands dis appearing under wide free panels of taffeta at the side, and the back com- meat Steck, or with forcemeat thrust between its leaves, after it, has been | parboiled, and boiled until tender in' stock | Kale is another green winter vege- | table that can be used occasionally to advantage.
