On Being Beltless By ELEANOR GUNN The beltless frock is still unusual enough not to pass altogether un- noticed even in a crowd of lovely dresses. The beltless suit. has so completely ousted other varieties that it has almost become the .excep- tion to find a suit with a belt, al- though many of the newest have a definite, one might even say exagger- ated waistline. Such suits are typi- cally French and play at being mas- culine, often developed of men's suiting and worn with either a wais:- coat or a blouse which has 'that of- fect. The beltless mode having won rec- ognition, it is not to be wondered at that we find its path leading into the ballroom. Many of the loveliest beaded dresses, some velvets in the new printed effects, in fact in almost all materials, are made up on the straight Mne. How surprising that a mere bit of ribbon--a string belt we call it--can make such a dif- ference in the general effect of the silhouette which when all is sald and done, retains its same straight line. By omitting a belt, making the frock longer, and changing the neckline from a curve to a sharp angle, we achieve distinction, which is what we are all aiming for just now. Among the loveliest evening frocks, tulle must not be omittad, for while not as elegant in effect or as costly as other materials; ft is nevertheless can be reckoned on to charm the eye, especially since it is & comparatively short time since tulle has re-appeared at social funec- tions. I is, unlike most materials, strictly confined to night life. One may wear chiffons and even laces to luncheon, but not tulle. In its most modern expressfon, it is ruffled to the knees or sometimes above. Ruf- fles known as Spanish, the type which is very wide and either high- er at back or side appear again, for Just now, skirts are in tiers, which is not as lugubrious as it sounds.

Cherry Snow: Soften one table- spoon of granulated gelatine in one- half cup of cold water. Draig the juice from one can of cherries an bring it to the boiling point in a saucepan. When hot, add this juice to the gelatine with one-half cup of sugar and the juice of one lemon. Turn in a bowl and when nearly set beat it to a froth. Now fill glasses with alternate layers of this frothy gelatine mixture and halves of cherries. Top with three whole cher ries. (Contributed by Mrs. C. MJ) Bread Griddlecakes: Break stale bread into small pieces. You will need two cup=ful; cover this amount with sour milk and let stand over- night. In the morning put the soak- ed bread through a wide-meshed sieve and add to it one-half teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of soda and one-half cup of flour (mixed). Beat the mixture well and add one beat. en egg. Fry as any griddlecakes. If you use an aluminum griddle you will need no grease, which is quite a help (in fact, any aluminum utensil is an excellent purchase). Ham Mexican Style: Buy either one whole, or one-half ham. Some women buy a ham jointly with a, neighbor, then divide it. Take en-, ough cold water to cover the ham' and add to it one-half cup of sugar -| and one tablespoon of Chill Powder (for a whole ham, however, yop wil! need two 'tablespoons of Chili Powder and one whole cup of sugar). Let the ham soak overnight In this water and in the morning simmer in a covered pot in the same water. Al- low 20 minutes to the pound in boll- ing it. When cooked in this manner, remove it from the water, take off skin and sprinkle with a little black pepper. Bake 30 minutes in a hot oven, to brown the outside. (Con- tributed by Mrs. C. M.) Tomato Sauce for Cold Meats: Blend two tablespoons of butter, two tablespoons of flour, one teaspoon of salt and two teaspoons of chill] powder; melt this mixture over | mild heat, then add to it the cou-| tents of a three-pound can of] tomatoes. one large peeled onion finely chopped, one large green swee' | pepper seeded then chopped and | one garlic button, also chopped.

J. Mustard on Thursday afternoon, Feb. Tth, with an attendance of thirty-one mem- bers. The meeting opened with the singing of the "Maple Leal." A let- ter was read from the Seeley's Bay Institute inviting the Elgin Institute to visit them in February. A letter was also read from Mr. Putman ask- i much for Kingston and the gift ot ing the institute to arrange for the | pictures, copies of the official pajnt- The convenor of jo. nung in the National Gallery at the sewing committee gave a report | 01 iawa commemorating the part of the sewing done, the cost of ma-| ,pa4, (ook in the great war will terial used and of the bale that was | , yy pe presented to the summer delegate. sent away.

The institute has been purchasing: supplies for the different schools that are represented and these are now ready to be placed im the schools. A committee was formbd to meet a committee from the Ath- letic Association to discuss plans for the building of a new hall This committee consisted of Mrs. J. C. Pennock, convenor; Mrs. George Stanton, Miss Mary McGuiggan, Mrs. C. F. Smith, Miss E. A. Halladay and Mrs. H. H, Ripley. One of the membery suggested that there was a needy family who should Ue slven assistance. Several donations were made for their relief. The "Ode" was sung and the roll call followed. - This was answered by "Don'ts for the Sick Room." Mrs, L. A. Mustard sang very sweetly, "Where the Rivet Shannon Flows." Mrs. R. J. Powell gave a reading entitied "A Joy Ride." Mrs. George Howard gave a demonstration of pressing trousers. This proved to be a very instructive item on the programme. . Mrs. L. A. Mustard sang another solo. An address by the district resident, Miss McGuig- gan, followed and was much enjoyed by the members, Miss McGulggan brought out several good points as to what makes a good institute. She thought we should have more stand- ing committees and especially an ag- ricultural committee that might en- courage people to beautify. their homes hy. pffering prizes. Valentines and hearts were passed around that each member might draw and find a partuer. Having found their partmers, all became in- terested in a "Heart Contest." Mrs. C. F. Broad, Brockville, donated a book to. the winner in this contest and Mrs. J. C. Pennock and Mrs. R. J. Powell were. the successful ones. Refreshments consisting of beans and brown bread, cake and ice cream were passed by the directors.
