HE necessary silver for a bride Is: Four sets of spoons, which includes soup, dessert, tea, and after dinner coffee butter knives four sets of forks, in-

eluding oyster forks, and two sizes of steel knives with silver handles. If the carving is to be dohe on the table, two sets of carvers will be needed. The newest and prettiest chest to hold .these comes without drawers now, and the silver is arranged in piles, g&rwith the two sets of knives spread in

cover of the box—the whole lined

--r.with soft ooze leather.

HOES should be kept well oiled in damp weather, and if wet should be dried slowly, lest

t, they warp or shrink. The 'method of occasionally rubbing over kid shoes with castor oil is adopted by some people. One of the best methods of rendering new boots impervious to damp is that of varnishing the soles.

Three or four coatings should be applied In succession, while the whole surface of the leather composing the uppers should be rubbed over with a cut lemon, the latter precaution insuring a good polish at the outset, always somewhat of a difficulty where new footgear 1b concerned. tv

UT more into your guestroom than the furniture, ornaments and plainest necessities. If a note is to be hastily written before the arrival of the truck with its stock of stationery, what could more pleasantly greet the eye of your guest than a neat desk, furnished ^.thoughtfully with whatever is needed —pens, paper, ink and envelopes, sealing wax and stamps? A work basket is always apropos in every well-cared-for room for one's guests, as .jiany who would come to tarry with you for a day or two would not provide tnemselves with any sewing outfit. The dropping off of a button or tape, a rip or tear—these are accidents of a day.

Kind acts and thoughts as manifested in these small attentions are as great welcome as words-

O woman should travel without her own toilet equipments. The neatest way to carry them is to make a bag with a bordered towel, lining it with gum tissue. Stitch to the tissue the numerous little gum tissue pockets for holding washcloth, soap, comb and the like and double-stitch each pocket to the lining. Join the tissue and towel with a binding and roll the towel to make the package smaller and tie with a tape string. It should contain the abovenamed articles, a small cake of soap, powder, pins, and the like.

VERT washwoman knows the nuisance of hanging out a large family's handkerchiefs, collars, finger-bowl doilies and other small articles. To pin them to the line takes time and patience. One old colored woman has hit on a plan 'of drying that saves her many minutes. She had her mistress make her a long, shallow bag of strong, white mosquito netting, with a drawstring at the top and tapes sewed at the corners and at intervals of three or four Inches between. When the smaller articles were ready for hanging on the line they were laid carefully in the bag, the string drawn up so they would not blow out and the bag pinned to the line by the tapes for the sun and air to filter through the open meshes of the net.

N the country good thick gloves, with stitched backs, long writed, are the most comfortable to wear. White suede and kindred gloves are best restored to their pristine freshness with a mixture of powdered alum and fuller's earth applied with a dry brush, and well rubbed in till the dirt is removed. Silk gloves can be cleaned with magnesia placed between two layers of paper, and in a few days, when the powder is removed, they will look like new. Gloves should be laid by in brown paper white paper often discolors them through the materials used in making the paper. _•

DIET TO

REDUCE FLESH

BY LUCILLE DAUDET.' WOMAN who wants to reduce muBt keep careful watch over the pleasures of the palate. Not for her the rich, strongly sea

soned made dishes, the delectable pastries, the dainty dessertB in which sugar and whipped cream play an important part. Coming down to commoner fare, she must not eat bread, butter, potatoes, cakes and syrup, or any of the products of the pig. She must close the candy box for the summer. "All the things that I like most I am not allowed to eat/' the fat woman is perhaps likely to moan after reading this list of must-nots. But even from the point of view of the gourmand, ought most of the articles mentioned to be featured prominently in summer menus?"

Even if she is iibt trying re^ce, Oie woman with a really cultivated taste will prefer to live chiefly upon green vegetables, fruits and lean meats, during the period of warm weather. Such a diet, in its simplicity and in the fact that it puts no undue strain upon the digestive organs will cause the person who chooses it to suffer less from high temperature than does the man or woman who eats richer food. Gastronomlcally speaking, this is the best .time in the year to win the fight against flesh.

The question of what the stout woman should drink deserves a paragraph to itself. She should unquestionably avoid all alcoholic liquors, milk, cream, cocoa and chocolate. She is better off without either tea or coffee, althouglf, if

sugar. She should drink as little water as possible. One of the bept beverages for her is buttermilk, which nourishes without forming fat. Another excellent drink is the juice of a lemon dissolved in a glass of cool water without sugar. Orange juice is also excellent, ,•

If you are really in eafn^st about it, the first sacrifice to make is your luncheon. Take no food at all between breakfast and dinner. I am assuming that you still stick to three meals a day and have not taken on the fashionable addition of afternoon tea and after-theater supper, bo^h of which functons should be omitted by the woman who wants to grow thin.

For dressy gowns the Parisian artists are designing quaint models in plain and striped taffetas, which recall the fashions of those brilliant days when the Empress Eugenie held court at the Tuilerles. These skirts are round, full, but not remarkably short They are about the length of. the fascinating costumes which used to be worn by skirt dancers. A model of this order which pleased me very much was made of raven's wing blue and white striped taffetas mixed with plain silk of dark blue shade. Tfhe round skirt was finely gathered at the waist, and the hem was in the striped material. Just above this hem, which was almost sixteen Inches wide, there was a deep band of dark blue silk arranged in wide tucks which ran around the figure. Then there was a length of striped silk which reached to the waist The corsage was of the cross-over order with very short sleeves, and there was a blouse of ivory-white organdie, which had a very high D)rectoire collar caught in at the throat by a band of blaok velvet ribbon. The dress was finished by a wide, very soft sash made of japonica pink crepe de chine the ends of this sash were empbroldered in dark blue floss silks.

Buttons are In great demand. Large Shipments from foreign button makers have not been received in this country because of the war, and American button manufacturers have stepped into the emergency and made domestid buttons to suit the most fastidious taste. Dressmakers use them for trimming in a thousand different ways. There are self-covered buttons on suits and coats. There are jet and steel and enamel buttons- There are fancy silk and velvet buttons and many other kinds.

New and Snappy' Ideas Depicted In the

f. Coming Styles.

BY 1CINGSLEY., HE best dressmakers state emphatically that exaggerated short skirta will not be considered correct when the autumn models are Introduced. Just now our young and pretty kirls axe pushing the craze for short skirts to the utmost limit, but even now these ultra-remarkable models are regarded with suspicion by women of good taste. A little shorter than ankle lengthr—this is the latest dictate.

Black silk beaver—like man's tall hat—is very much used by one or two leading milliners in Paris. It is successfully combined with white faille and also with Belgian blue satin straw. novel and expensive toque which was designed in a famous atelier was made of fine satin straw in the Belgian blue shade and the top of the domed crown was covered with black silk braver. There was a wide band of black watered ribbon round this crown and at the left side, rather low down, a cluster of mixed flowers, heliotrope, blue hyacinths, Banksia roses and maidenhair fern. It was a lovely little affair, quite poetio In its soft, yet rich coloring.

Very gradually the waist line is rising, and we may hope that before long it will go just high enough to be nearly Directoire, and that then we shall have the straight-falling skirt as it is seen in classic statues. Nothing suits woman's figure quite so well as these slightly full, clinging draperies, and for all the puffs and flounces which are shown us in the new models the dress-makers are nearly always willing to modify them until they become simple and modest, not vanity stricken and garrulous. Navy blue Is the predominating color, but light crepons are rapidly coming into favor now that the sunshine is making cloth a burden in the heart of the day. Very delicate blues, a pink that Is merely a faint blush on a maiden's cheek, a yellow which can be worn with a good deal of white, and a biscuit color which is almost cream, are being offered to Us most temptingly.

The only bizarre note of the day in fashion comes with the shoes. They are lamentable as we see them in the avenues and streets The heels are so high that the'figure of the women who wear them is positively ridiculous and the colored clothes which are used to make them are so striking as completely to extinguish the importance of any other part of the costume. Green, violet, bright yellow, blue, anything vivid, seems to bave called on the imagination of the bootmakers and their "cllentes." Fortunately the best bootmakers look askance at such fantastic things, and they make all things in moderation.
