SUMMER CLOTHING

rr.ocKS TOR a ne rvriNiNG

What used to be known as evening di ess" lias practieallv gone out of use since

the war began. Parties are few and far between. Patriotic dances constitute al- most the only form of amusement in the

evening, apart from theatres nnd picture shows, and the dresses worn at dances arel not regarded ns suitable for theatre wear,

so that the mijority of women nie muk | ing anv sort of s ti cot dress do dut) fon theatres and concerts Ihe recent spell of hot weather, however, made most of us sensible of the fiqt that it is not udnsible to put our clothcs lo such strenuous use One of the «urcst wa)s to be e\tt_vagint m dress is to have too few dresses, so that outdoor things hive to be worn m doors, nnd to wein a coat and skirt or other outdoor diess to a theattc is to' hasten ita end cnonnonsl) In the sum met time cspecmll) is tins the case

hist now it is au easy mnltcr to pro Mile oneself willi a simple little frock for theatre wear, because tlie ii mil) voiles, either patterned or pinn, make idcil little evening diesscs if a little eine is taken to

have them rathei fussiir thin tho=c worn in i he stieet V lidíenle lavender and ¿leen voile, made willi three little pale green fulls at the foot, and i frilled fichu of the green, would, for instance, look de- lightful m the evening, whilst i plnm wlnte voile, inlet with lace, would be both useful und pielt) 'Hie self coloured soiles, when used for evening frocks, look best with {»st a little hand embroidery foi trimming, nnd the newest and most ef fcetive form of hand embroidery for lins purpono in cross stitching The piclui es which 1 have chosen for reprodnelion re present frocks of richer matcml than voile 'Hie first, in soft silk 01 satin, is trimmed with lows of tinsel slitchinq and with little loses m gold and silvei tissue 'J he olhci dress combines soft black sittn and gcoigelle The trimming consists of fine tucks and button like ornaments m black and gold lite tunic stile of the skill will be becoming to tall figures

KITCHEN AND PANTRY,

PEANUT RUTTER.

"H.E.M." (Gisborne) sends a recipe for peanut butter:-"Put the rfielled peanut« (not roasted) in a pan into a slow oven, leaving tlie door slightly cpen, Leave them in titi they are so dry that Hie husk win rub off easily, but do not oltotv them to brqtvn in* tlie least. When tnifucicntly dry put them into a bag, tie it up, and knead or roll

it on a table with the hands till the husks ure well loosened. Separate the husks from the nuts by pouiing the nuts from one pun to another in the air so that the husks will blow away. Grind tlie nuts with the finest grinder, and cook them for reverá 1 hour» lu a double holler with no water added to the nut?. Put nwav for future ui-e\" Another recipe is as follows:-"Shell and husk the nuts as before, then put them into an earthen jar or dish and add two quarts of water to each pin* of nuts. Add also a little salt, and bring tlie nuts to a boil on the top of the range. Then place them in the oten, and bake them foi about eight hours, until they are tender und the water mostly ali -orbed. Then rub them through a colander. This makes a substitute for nut butter in making gravies seasoning soul» and tegetablcs, and .spreading on bread." "1Ï.E.M." hays that if a nut grinder k not available a coffee mill would probably be better thon a mincer. Recipes nre also sent by "Home Winemaker" (Richmond) and "L.ÎÎ." (South Melbourne).
