Sew a three-inch band of black cloth around one end and put on nose, eyes, and mouth. Use black thread for sewing on two white buttons for the eyes, a black nose and a piece of red for the mouth, and black strings for the hands and feet. Make a Brownie suit of red material, a loose sleeveless slip gathered on the ends. This Brownie will turn somersaults down hill, set up a board with one end leaning over the fence. Put him on it. As the marble rolls from one end to the other the Brownie somersaults down the board.

To obviate this, make the waist any style desired finish all but the bottom try on draw a narrow band around the waist, at the waist line, and adjust the fullness. Pin the band in place take off the waist and sew the band exactly as pinned. Finish bottom of the band with a strip of beading. Make the skirt any style, and finish the top of skirt band with beading. Lace the skirt and waist bands together, and you have a one piece dress that can be washed and Ironed separately.

AN IDEAL VERANDA

By EDNA EGAN.

HEN the roomy veranda forma an angle and extends along the side of the house hack to the dining room—after reaching across the front—the outdoor dining room readily is attached to the outdoor living room. When there is simply a little old-fashioned porch over the front doorway, or a little square porch at one end of the house, the situation will become more difficult but a vine-screened extension may solve the problem at small cost.

When "home" is represented by the straight, unpromising lines of a city-block house, without any sort of porch, with marble or brownstone steps in front and only a little yard at the back, it is still worth while to battle with adverse circumstances.

Porch rooms of some sort are possible for every home. To begin with the problem that is seemingly most difficult, that of the city house built solidly in a row with no possible space for a front porch on the first floor, nor for a second-story extension, one's efforts must be devoted to the back of the house.

A strong kitchen table of the double drop-leaf type will prove the best for the outdoor dining table.

With folded leaves, it will take up but little space when not in use for dining and will allow sitting room conveniences between meals.

Plain mission chairs will be suitable for dining room and sitting room and will not be injured by use in the yard when its paved and flowerbordered space extends the outdoor room beyond the limits of the roofed inclosure.

The outdoor room of the second story will prove the most difficult problem. When It is merely a deck extension over the roof of the dining room, & railing will be required for protection and to serve as a finish for the sides of the room. When awningB, rods and braces are to be considered for roof shelter one must give careful study to details.

A flower box and various' potted plants along the broad upper shelf, a wooden seat with awning-covered

Yes, colors run riot in these little affairs. You know how prettily the tints are blended on the gauzy wings, how ethereal is the appearance, something you must ever keep keep In mind. You can dot the wings with gold thread, or use tints, but use no colors the same as you will display in the floral effect

A good idea in working the extreme ends of the wings is not to outline them, or make them solid, but use a single strand of thread and work the miniature briar or loop stitch In those parts to Impart the fragile appearanoe. Again, this work can be done wholly In white, heavily padded, and should your fabric be heavy, then use the French knots as herein suggested. Only sheer material should be used for summer purposes, but you see there are many possibilities for its future use. Sincerely yours,

cushions, built along the wall of the house, a weather-proof table and stanch plant stands for tub plants, will complete the permanent furnishings.

A few attractive rockers and armchairs in reed and rattan, with bright chintz or cretonne cushions, may be taken inside in times of storm.

By laying a comparatively flat floor over the slanting roof of front piazza or side porch an outdoor living room may extend from the second floor of the country and suburban home, as well as over the little back-yard dining room of the city residence.

Roofing and sidewall screening will not be necessary where overhanging trees provide shade and shelter.

A railing is always a necessity, however, and with its plant shelf and corner posts made in attractive pedestal form for the heavy tubs of box and bay trees,

may be given to the doorway. When it is necessary to cut down a window to give entrance to the outdoor room, the two-leaved French windows will be most satisfactory between the communicating rooms.

The leaves should be furnished with hooks and catches, so that they may be fastened back the inner room then receives the benefit of the cool freshness of the outdoor room.

When the upper floor is laid above a tight roof of the original porch, it •\.'U not be necessary to have it rainproof. When the newly laid floor forms the ceiling and the roof of the room below it, very careful finish will be required to shed the rain.

For old colonial houses, or Georgian types of architecture, with hooded doorway and tall columns reaching from foundation to roof, the porch rooms should be built at the ends of the house.

The massive beauty of the columned front is then unspoiled and greater privacy is secured for the rooms facing away from the street front. The newer types of half-timbered houses with hooded doorways show the same pleasing designs of long fronts unbroken by outdoor rooms or balconies and with roomy additions for this purpose extended at both ends of the building.

FASHIONDOM

By MRS. KINGSLEY.

HE most charming foot ruffles are seen on taffeta gowns. Even fichus are edged with tiny box plaited frillings. Some of the new flowered crepe dresses have coatee fronts.

Long gold tassels finish the pointed backs of ruffled wraps. Some of the newest handbags are made of brown antelope skin.

Small fans of sandalwood have tiny mirrors set on their outside sticks. The overdress of some of the very newest costumes is as light and filmy as air, almost.

A tiny tricc-a of black straw is delightfully finished with a big pink camellia stuck in front.

Messaline princess slips are in demand once more to wear under lingerie gowns.

venient access to the kitchen, greater privacy is secured for both outdoor rooms.

During the period of rest and recreation in the screened outdoor living room, and while entertaining in this cool retreat, it will prove a greatly appreciated convenience to be far from the clatter of dishes, which often proves annoying when the combined dining and living room is situated near the kitchen.

The features pertaining to comfort and convenience for the various porch rooms have been greatly elaborated during recent years and made to fit every possible need of the city, country, suburban and seaside home. It is possible to purchase numerous sorts of drop curtains, awnings and screens for giving additional shelter in exposed positions.

Or we may use the wooden blinds, hinged at the top, which are popular in Bermuda. Attractive vines may be trained to give shade from the sun without outting off the desirable breezes.

The housekeeper finds that there are new ideas in the treatment of fruits as well as new species. "Sun-baked," for instance, is not the only kind of "baking" that is done to preserved fruits. A new process of canning which is highly recommended is explained as "baked preserves." "They are simply laid in flat dishes in the oven and covered with sugar and then simply baked," explained the girl who sold these goods. "They are delicious," she declared, and so they looked. Turned into the little glass cans, the baked preserves certainly give no hint of how they are prepared unless it is by a brighter, "fruiter" color. Black currant preserves are one of the new delicacies that are made by this new process.

It is possible here for the lover of English orange marmalade to get it in tiny 10 cent jars and it is claimed that it is made with the Seville oranges, which are used to give the epicurean bitter twang in the imported marmalades and which is missed in the "home made" American article. So

THE LURE OF THE MARKET

BY MRS. McCUNE.

nnn] HAT in the world are those I'/i lovely things?" asked one .Mil woman of another the other day. "I don't know I am going in to ask," was the answer. The firBt inquirer followed directly in close behind her while she put the question. When the answer came "French artichokes," the first woman turned half shamefacedly to her companion. "Well, I am certainly quite familiar with artichokes," she said airily, "but I didn't know what those were."

Just at that minute her eye lighted on another box of strange looking vegetables. These also seemed like pond lilies—fuller heads than the others and every leaf green. "What are those?" she queried again. "French artichokes, madam," remarked the fruit man wearily, as if he had answered it a great many times. "Those are the way they are when right to cook, madam after they begin to bloom they are not much-good." Except for a window decoration, he might h^ve added, for this strange little vegetable which only colors into prettiest bloom when it begins to die is esthetically beautiful in its last stages and probably attracts more people to the fruit store when it is past usefulness than before.

it seems that Spain also Is represent* ed in the many imports to the newest kind of fruit store.

Did you ever flavor and color your apple jelly with mint, and "jell" It In little jars just the right size to serve with the lamb roast? This is one of the pretty purchases that can be made now which can be done as well at home. In the same case, however, there is a what is called a home made golden crab jelly which is ahead of most really home made crab apple in color, as it is the faint and delicate color of champagne. Red and white and green strips alternating in real fruit jellies are a novelty.

The "avacado" or alligator pears hold 'a new salad possibility to the housewife while the large yellow tomato hasn't been taken advantage of. The great pears are sliced and dressed with oil and vinegar after the center stones are taken out and the big yellow tomatoes are as good in every way as red ones, many think. Then it comes to preserving her little yellow tomatoes the housekeeper can also learn from new methods. A bay leaf or two and small fruits of contrasting colors are put into the bottles.

The ochre or gumbo, when it is cut up in little short lengths, surprises many a marketer who is only used to seeing it in the canned state. It comes in long soft green pods which make you feel as if you wanted to squeeze them like puff balls. In the raw they are very cheap, so it seems to be an advantage to get your own flavors for your "chicken gumbo."

LIGHT, neat gate to keep a small child on the porch may be made of pine strips two inches wide by one inch thick.

Measure the correct length for the opening and make it about 30 inches wide, then put in a cross brace at the middle. Tack' on white screen wire, the 27 inch width. This gate is secured at one end -by a heavy wire fastened above and to the floor of the porch The gate slides back and forth undei this. At thp other end a screw eye is inserted and a cord tied about the porch pillaA- out of reach of the baby. This easil// i8 built, light of weight, and the ciiild can see all that passes by, whether Bitting or standing.
