PAGE FOUR (Copyright. The Fashion of a Separate Bodice for the Evening Never Quite Dies Down, and It Is Revived This Win- ter in Splendid Metallic Fabrics, New York--The women of another day considered a dark skirt and a light, brilliant bodice an economical evening gown. It may be for this rea- son, or for its novel beauty, that such & frock is revived into the fashions every few seasons. The war did not teach women to be economical as the world thought. There is no doubt that it taught them something of the spirit of sacrifice .and certainly American women will not totally igree with the English countess who said that as far as the women are concerned, "America had a very pleasant little war." But if the truth must be told there is no evidence of economy of an enlightenment con-| <erning money values, of a desire to save and reduce living expenses. | It may not be right to judge a na- tion by extravagance in great cities,! and this is as true of the United] States as of France and England; but| the observer who has the opportunity| to see all classes of people does not! notice an extraordinary attitude to-| ward economy. ; There seems to be a somewhat de-| flant attitude, brought bout by the critical industrial' unrest, that it is wise to spend all now, because to morrow one may have nothing. It is} Bot a good doctrine. It is an unwise | and usually an untrue one. But there] is no gainsaying the fact that America | appears to be as extravagant as does Paris. However, the doctrines of economy may have infiltrated into the system without ome being comsecious of if. It| is true that the making over of old | clothes does not grow apace, even though one has to pay between two . and three hundred dollars for a tail- ored suit at a department store that once asked one hundred dollars for the same suit. There is no dearth of buy- ers, however, no matter what prices sre asked. The dressmakers say they cannot fill their orders and that no one seems to object to the rise™f fifty or sixty per cent in the cost of apparel. But all that is a bit off the subject of a-dark suit and a brill bodice, unless one realizes that all these fashions are straws in the current. All the small things of life show bow the great things are tending' Therefore, when women adopt a dark velvet skirt because it does not need cleaning as often as a light one, there may be some subconscious feeling that this extravagance cannot last and that the war has taught a lesson which is in the soul, if not on the sur- Brilliant Mingling of Fabrics. TXere hae been a few great artists in the dressmaking world who have insisted that the juxtaposition of a metallic or jewelled bodice against a dark skirt has artistic beauty and that it has been carried through the cen- turies from primitive days as an ad- mirable way of enhancing the beauty of a woman's costume. The trouble with such a fashion lies in the fact that amateurs bungle it.

The wise cook or housewife knows that various sorts of pickles and pickle concoctions, such as chile sauce, chow- chow, "pickle lilly" and the rest, may be used in many ways in the prepara- tion of tempting and appetizing dishes. To be sure, some women know of no other way of using them save to put them in a dish and pass them with the meat or fish course. They can also be used in the actual cooking of those dishes, and if the pickles and relishes are home-made, 30 much the better. Then you can be sure of just what | spices are used in preparing them, | and, moreover, you have the satis- faction of knowing that they are not expensive, 2 If you have any home-made ecat- sup or chile sauce, use this when you | want to make an appetizing left-over | dish from beef or lamb. One good way | is to cut the left-over meat in small bits, add it to some boiled rice and | mix this in a baking dish and then| pour over the top a good addition of the chile sauce or catsup. You will salt and possibly a| little onion, but the relish will give | you all the other seasoning vou need. | It is also & good idea to use a little of | these tomato relishes with hamburg | steak meat. | A little tomato catsup ade French dressing or mayonnaise | led to] gives | color and flavor that is delicious and is sure to tickle the palate of the epi- cure. In making hearty luncheon sand- | wiches it is a good idea to grind cook- | ed meat and then add a little of the! catsup or chile sauce to make a paste] to spread on the slices of bread. If | the chile sauce seems to be watery it} would be better to drain it when using | it in this way. { Old-fashioned pickled lily can be | used with left-over meat in the same | way. Or it can be used in the following | recipe. It is quite Italian, but it is! delicious. | Take two cups of boiled rice and id a teaspoon ar bi of pickle ly. 4 a teaspoon of plive or peanut eil. Press this into a bowl and chill. Have | ready four hard-boiled eggs, which | should be cut lengthwise, Likewise | have some stuffed olives cut in slices | or some olive rings that can be bought all, ready for use. Turn the rice out and garnish it with the boiled eggs and olives. If you wish you ean map this in individual moulds, place it on lettuce, adding one egg half, the olive rings and a little mayonnaise.
