OR pillows for cradle purchase ticking which reflects a pale blue flower. Make the pillow case of soft white dimity, hemstitch it and finish with a hemstitched pillow. The colors show through the white in delicate tracery. A pillow for the crib should be filled with down, and should not be stuffed full. A gift should include one pillow and three pillow cases.

O many people think a window the best place for a canary, while, on the contrary, it is the very worst!" said a bird fancier. "If it is a sunny window the poor little mite's brains are cooked by the heat There is always a draft In an open winclow and a canary's body is too delicate to ehdui'e draft. I'm always telling my customers that a bird mustn't be put in a draft, but, dear me! it's little use talking."

TACTFUL hostess, in order to make her guests comfortable, must know their little fads and peculiarities. A new kind of

book which is a great help to a hostess is called a guest book. The hostess has in this volume the names of all those who are, or who are likely to be, guests at her home, and besides their names are written the little peculiarities which she must remember if she hopes to make them comfortable. Many of these bear upon the subject of fads and fancies in diet, for numbers of people are vegetarians, others will only touch pure China tea instead of other kinds or blends, while others, perhaps, require a glass of hot water to drink before they go to bed.

is almost impossible to persuade most girls not to go bareheaded in the sun, and for

iv this reason the hair is often Injured. The effect of the sun on the hair is just about the same as using a too hot curling] iron, causing the hair to become crisp and dry. The constant exposure to the sun causes the hair to lose the life and polish that it formerly had. The only thing to 'prevent this condition is to wear a hat, a large straw one being the best for the purpose. These hats are not expensive and they will save the hair from losing the nourishing oils and from the starving of the follicles.

For hair which has already been injured by the sun it is best to procure gome nourishing tonic. If this is not

INY linen card cases .are stenciled through the most carefully cut stencil patterns imaginable. This work is more than ordinarily dainty and requires almost the accuracy of the silhouettemaker. Necessarily its background Is the finest weave of linen and the brushes used for applying the color are small and very good. In the choice of colors, such contrasts are used as will produce a sharp line around the edge of the pattern, but the care lavished is repaid in the final result.

O clean carpets and room-size or small rugs the following is a good and a cheap method

They can be left right on the

floor If carpet or rug is Axminster, Brussels, velvet or Wilton, as the moisture will hot go through, but care must be taken not to walk over until dry. Steep 5 cents' worth of soap bark in pint of rain water dissolve 6-cent bar of white soap in another pint of hot water. Strain soap bark water into a gallon jar, add dissolved white soap, and fill jar nearly full with hot rain water. Then add 10 cents' worth of borax. Stir well. Make and let stand over night and then dilute with a little warm water as used. Apply to carpet with scrub brush and scrub well, then rinse by using a rag and another basin with clean hot water. Take up all moisture possible and rub with the nap. Apply lather to about a yard at a time.

FLORIST has discovered by accident a new way to catch cockroaches. A pint fruit jar containing a scrap of bacon

happened to be left over night in one of his greenhouses. Next morning a dozen or more cockroaches were vainly trying to climb the slippery side of the glass jar. The florist has succeeded in ridding his establishment of these repulsive creatures, which formerly ate such high-priced plants as orchids and gardenias. It is necessary to paste a piece of paper on the outside of the jar so that the insects can get sufficient foot hold to climb up into the trap. In the original case the label of the manufacturer supplied this need.

If a heartless management would only put orchestra seats within the reach of the laboring man—meaning me—we would patronize the legitimate drama instead of the ten-twent'-thirt' shows." "But, John, why do we have to sit In orchestra chairs?" "Because the fire department won't let us Btand in the aisles!" "Don't try so hard to be funny! Why can't we go to the second balcony?" "Now you're being funny! Do you know any nice people who go there?" "Indeed I do—plenty of them." "I'd like to know who some of them are." "Well, I'm onei Don't drop dead, but I went to a matinee only this afternoon with Mrs. Eldridge. Our seats were 50 cents apiece and we saw lots better than we could have done in the back of the orchestra for a dollar and a half." "That may do for the afternoon for you girls, but I bet Eldridge himself wouldn't be seen there in the evening." "I'll take you up! Make it a pound of chocolates against a box of cigarettes." "All right. You^might as well get the cigarettes now." "Don't you be too sure!"

The next morning John was called to the office telephone by his wife. "Don't make any engagement for tomorrow night, John. I've a plan on hand." "What is it?" "Wait and see!"

This was all the information he could extort from her after he got home, and it was with a good deal of curiosity that he approached the house on the following evening. As he entered the door he heard voices in the living room and walked in upon the Eldgridges. "We are going to have a family dinner here together and then go to the family circle hand in hand," announced Janet.

John did not enjoy his dinner especially. Was Janet not going a little too far? he wondered. The Eldridges seemed such nice people! How would they take to the family circle? He had to struggle to seem easy and cheerful.

But when they got to the family circle he found the Eldridges took it very well. They displayed an astonishing familiarity with its works and ways that made John feel himself rather behind the times. "Never been here before?" exclaimed Mrs. Eldridge. "Phil and I take all our theaters this way. It's lots

"How has your syBtem stood the shock?" asked Janet, as they rode home after parting from the Eldridges and planning for another party of the same sort the following week. "Very well, thank you. Say, I didn't know such nice people sat up la the attic!" "Indeed they do. Aren't you glad you're going again?" "You bet I am! And, by the way, here's a confectioner's.

CARE OF

KITCHENWARfc

BY MRS. McCUNE.

rai EVER allow pots and pans, or 1^1 dishes, either, to lie around EMI the kitchen over night or even for several hours unwashed. Nothing attracts roaches and ants more quickly than scraps, nor is it good for the pots and pans to stand and let the dirt harden.,

The longer pots and pans stay dirty the harder it is $o clean them, so it pays in the end to lut them under running water as soon as they are emptied and removed from the fire.

Bowls or pans which have held milk, eggs or flour should be rinsed out in cold water because hot water would cook the remains and make them cling to the receptacle.

The boiler in which cereal cooks is always messy to clean, but a little boiling water poured in and allowed to stand will help wonderfully to remove the sticky scraps.

A burnt pan should be washed out with boiling water and soda, and be allowed to boil up for a while on the fire before being rinsed.

Tins, and indeed all metal cooking utensils should be laid out to dry on the range shelf for a while before being put away and by the way, even the most careful of cooks is apt to neglect her pot lids, yet these get caked and dusty just as do the pots to which they belong.

A pot once burnt on the bottom is prone to let its contents stick and burn again. Preserving kettles for instance, even with their enamel interiors should be carefully watched for the mischief once done, subsequent preserves may scorch at any time.

Enamel utensils are pretty and clean looking, but they are spoiled if chipped or scratched, for not only do they stain, but they crack and break off if hard used. They should not be washed with soda, nor should aluminum pans.

Milady's hats are of black and white straw, silk or tulle trimmed with black and white-

FASHION TALKS

BY MRS. KINGSLEY.

OU will recall, without having to tax your memory very hard, that during the French revolution the laundry girls and others of the bourgeoise wore bodices and skirtB of contrasting colors.

The upper half of the frock was a plain material, while the skirt was of a striped design—one of the stripes usually repeating the color of the bodice.

One particularly admired has a snugly fitted bodice of black taffeta of the softest quality, cut with a low, pointed neck line and long, close fitting Bleev.es. Frills of the finest cream colored Malines lace add a touch of billowy softness to the bodice and sleeves.

The taffeta chosen lor the skirts was a daring design in black and white, showing alternate stripes two inches In width.

Three narrow tucks were stitched in above, with wide hem, and through them weue threaded heavy cords, which distended the skirt in a charming manner.

At the top the skirt was gathered and joined to the bodice with a narrow cording of plain black silk. This is a frock which will win the glance of approval, no matter where you happftn to

wear

it.

BABy CHAIR

.ERE is a baby bed for motherB who have to do their housework and take care of their baby. It saves money, time and worry.

It can be used as a high chair as well as bed. Take an old clothes basket of pretty good size. The one I have is thirty-two inches long, twenty inches wide and twelve inches deep.

If you have no old one, a new one will cost 60 cents. Fasten four legs to it. I used old bed slats, but anything will do, just so they will stand firmly.

Then put on cross pieces from leg to leg same as rounds in a chair, so as to hold the legs together.

Then get four casters, which will cost 25 cents, and fasten them to the legs. This makes it easy to move the bed from room to room. Then take an old sheet and cover the bed fasten one side of the sheet to the upper edge of the basket and let it come to the floor so as to cover the legs all up. Cover the bed inside and out with the sheet first. Then get seven yards of white cheese cloth and gather one side of the first and then fasten it on the edge the same as you did the sheet and let hang to the floor. Also cover the inside with the sheet and you will have a nice white dainty bed for the baby.

The covering can be taken off and washed and put back on with little workr

Tomato Salad.

Caramel Mousse.

Cook half a cupful of sugar to a caramel, add one-third of a cupful of boiling water, drawing it to sido of fire and stir until the caramel is melted. Then set away to chill thoroughly. Fold this mixture into a pint of double cream beaten to a dry solid froth. Or use the chilled whip from one and one-half pints of single cream. Beat the whole together until solid, then pack and freeze in the usual manner.

Dried Apple Fruit Cake.

Two cupfuls of dried apples, soaked over night in tepid water, chop fine, after soaking. Boil slowly or let simmer two cupfuls New Orleans molasses one-half hour. To the above add two cupfuls of raisins and one of currants.

For the cake: One-half cupful butter, one cupful of brown sugar, two eggs, one cupful of sweet milk, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, one-half teaspoonful nutmeg. Mix well and put in a little flour, then add two teaspoonfuls of soda, dissolved in warm water. Add flour enough to hold the spoon up in batter. Now add the boiling molasses, containing fruit, and put into a moderately hot oven. Bake one hour.

Danish Stuffed Cabbage.

One pound of beef, one-half pound of pork chopped. Season with pepper and salt. Add one egg, one-half cup of milk, two tablespoons of flour, beat all together good. One good sized cabbage, cut off bottom enough for corner, dig out some of the heart of cabbage, leaving a thick shell all around. In this put the meat and tie corner on with string. Tie stuffed cabbage in a cloth and let boil in plenty of salted water for two hours. Make gravy of a tablespoonful of butter melted, mixed with flour and water from cabbage. Any bit of stuffing and cabbage left may be inserted in the cloth when ready to boil and put around the head when served.

Stuffed Eggplant.

Select a large eggplant, wipe off with a damp cloth, and cut it in half

IRST make your garment of th« proper size, then transfer your patterns in the desired places. Make the garment of white nainsook or a good grade of white handkerchief linen. An excellent quality of white goods will wear for years and it is useless to make this pattern on cheap material.

The French detail is shown-1» manj eyelets. Puncture the holes with stiletto drive it through the goods into hard white soap. This keeps the goods from raveling. Carry no thread from figure to figure, but finish every part in its completed form, leaving neither knots nor loose ends on the back of your goods. Crescents and all leaves and petals are worked in satin stitch or the allover stitch. Much of the work is in outline, and French knots can be substituted where eyelets are shown.

In a garment well made and embroidered by hand, unless delicate handmade lace, is used, it is preferable to use embroidery throughout your whole garment, since machine lac® will soon wear out. White, of course, is the preferred floss, though colors can be used and frequently are. Sin-
