Nothing has yet been discovered that will quite take the place of the lace frock for late afternoon andvinformal eveningwear, and at least‘ one of these is to be found in every self-respecting Psi-is cou- ture collection, Worth's black lace dinner gown with flounces on the long sleeves and at the back of the skirt was very successful with the buyers, and is being extensively or- dercd by smart private clients at the nnIlent. It is one of those dresses that are literally sartorial life-savers. Having once seen it, one wonders how one has ever got along without something of the sort.

And speaking of informal even- ing clothes, Chanel has designed a “cinema. frock“ for herself that would fill s. gaping void in most‘. wardrobes. She did not show it with nor regular collection, but some of her friends saw her wear it and persuaded her to make it for them, too, so it will probably finish its career in the public eye.

It is the simplest thing imagin- able. Two-piece, in black Lyons vel- vet, with ankle-length tight skirt and snug jacket top, buttoned up the front with gold buttons and

By keeplng the spotlight focused on the husband's defects she is killing the wife's respect and love for him. By sowing suspicion in the wife's mind she has killed hBl‘ mun in her husband. By milking his home unpleasant she has driven the husband away from it and. by m‘ menting quarrels between him and his wife over horsoli’. in which the wife was driven into taking her mother's part, she has mode a breach bc-

tween thcm that will never be bridged over.

The end of the affair is bound to be u divorce for which the mother will be directly responsiblef And one wonders if she never Bits uowu and counts the cost oi.’ what she is doing.

A home broken up, s. husband and wife torn apart, their hearts ﬁlled with bitterness and disiilusion. Three little children halt-orphaned d9‘ prived of a. mother's or a fathcus love and guidance, their yuuuf; “V95 blighted and distorted by being torn up from illcir natural environment and transplanted to an alien soil. The young mother forced to go out and ﬁnd s. job in the working world to help out with such alimony as she can collect from her husband who could support one femur in oom-

Why do they do it?

The mother's defense is that they loved their children long before the ones to whom they are married did‘. that they bu"! made mam’ Sacﬂﬁmis for their sons and daughters and have a right to n place in their homes, that they are older and more experienced and know better how to manage than any young bride or groom docs, and that their‘ ulhole lives are wrapped up in their children and that they have no existence outside of

All of which is true; but because a. mother loves a child (ices not El"! her the right to wreck its life.

SARTORIAL LUSTBE OF BRIL- LIANT GATHEIIINGS JIN- DIMMED BY CRISIS

Spanking of hats, a new stai- hcl. risen in the Paris millinery firmament. “Jeff". better known in couture circles as Geoffrey Swaffieid. showed his first collec- tion of bonnet: to an impressed gathering of smart women, inter- spersed by members of tho press and belated or resident buyers.

Jeff revolts against the right side slant of huts. He claims that the majority of women have a. bet- ter right than left profile, and all his hats, without exception. show the right side of the hair and in- cline toward the left ear. He fa- vors small felt shapes. no bigger than turbans, though they often have an effect of brim. Tiny bun- ches of flowers or bows, posed high and toward the back st the right side, replace the ubiquitous quills and feathers.

THE VALUE OF CANNED SOUPS

Commercially canned foods have revolutionized our kitchens, and in no case to better advantage than in the canning of soups’. We are now able to ssve time and labour by

wide variety of delicious, nourishing soups iii ready to serve.

Fortunately the prejudice against qmned foods is rapidly disappear- iltg,-—and if we were all privileged to v it the plants where the canned

ups are prepared, we should resi-

thst they are just large kitchens w ere every process is carried on with the utmost care and attention to quality, cleanliness, accuracy and detail. The materials for the canned soups are selected and cleaned with as much caress we would use for our table. Many of the vegetables are grown and cultivated by the csnners themselves. Canned soups are quickly prepar- ed for the table-only the addition of milk or water, and a few minu- tes‘ simmering being required. Ad-

Canned asparagus, pea and celery soups are made fromireshly picked‘ vegetables, They are made into l. rich, creamy puree, which, if com-l bined with milk, make delightful, creamed soups. The vegetable soup is s. blend of all the good qus1ities_of_ s dozen choice vegetables.
