NEW MILLINERY FOR SPRING IS VARIED IN STYLE

HANDBAGS MUST MATCH THE ENSEMBLE Many new styles have been introduced in the millinery which we are to wear this coming spring. In one collection, two hats are shown at a time, each demonstrating in the same colour and material a different style —a brimmed cloche or picture hat, or a small tight-fitting toque or cap. The brims of picture hats are irregular, and are attached to the crowns in such a way as to lift the front away from the forehead or to form a little point. The small toques and caps are draped toward the back, away from the brow. Many of the new hats are made of linen, coarse or line, with a spot of artificial silk or a touch of black satin as a trimming. With a small linen hat goes a scarf to match, short, and tied like a huntsman’s stock, or looped under the chin or under one ear. Straw lace of a light colour is used with black satin. Plaited straw in three colours is used to make small draped hats and brimmed hats. Knitted and crocheted wool trimmings are put on straws and felts. Big hats are also made of crinoline lace, beige and brown. Black satin turbans are fashionable, in most cases the bands of satin being solidly plaited. Crocheted and knitted straws in various colours and patterns may be closely or openly woven.

There are charming spring bags of silk crepe made to look like lizard skin, and of pleated gingham, combined with white kid. These bags, like gloves, are meant j to go with the ensemble, for it is no longer the fashion merely to match gloves and stockings. A green ensemble may have black | gloves, a black and white ensemble black gloves, a navy blue ensemble grey gloves, gray stockings ar d shoes. With brown ensembles, gloves, stockings and shoes are brown. All the new materials for the spring show flower patterns, checks, spots, and geometric figures, so small as to be indistinguishable a yard or so away. On chiffon, the flowers are large; on crepe de chine, crepe satin, crepe georgette, or any other dullfaced crepe, small. Yellow, green, a dull tearose pink, soft blues, bright red, navy blue, black and white, white and black, are popular, and there are the usual number of mixed tweeds, light and dark beige, and brown, grey and black, with a fleck of brighter colour here and there. COUNTRY SOUP Ingredients for the soup: Three large onions, salt, pepper, parsley, a little fat. Ingredients for the dumplings: Two potatoes, one egg, one small onion, parsley, salt, pepper, toasted breadcrumbs. Cut the three onions into slices and boil them with the parsley, salt, pepper and fat. Strain when soft, pressing well to obtain all the juice. Return the onions and parsley to the pan. with the liquor, and bring to boiling point again. Meanwhile prepare the dumping mixture; boil the potatoes and mash them smooth. Add the egg, and the chopped onion, the chopped parsley, salt and pepper. Mix all well, and add the toasted breadcrumbs to form a loose dough. Flour the hands, take up small portions of the dough and form into dumplings, which throw into the boiling soup. Cook gently for 15 to 20 minutes, and serve with fingers of fried bread.
