TAKE UP SMALL HAT

•fIW YORK WOMEN ENTHUSIASTICALLY ADOPT BTYLE. Line* of French Cortume Still Form a Model That I* Accepted aa the Mode—l* Realty Convenient Type. The women la New York are adopting the tiny hat with enthusiasm, probably because they realize that it may be their last chance to get the good out of it It too. is unusually unbecoming. Unless there is exactly the right set of features beneath it, this tip-tilted hat with its foolish little brim is exceedingly trying. It does not need a beauty to wear its few fashions hare been designed with that asset in view. It needs that quality more difficult than mere beauty: indisputable style. This asset is the fetish of our women, not loveliness. All the beauty In the world today only receives the tribute of this remark: how lovely she would be if she knew how to wear her clothes! It would seem as though that wellknown model from France that came 'over last spring, with straight front and back and slightly curved sides, its to be the chosen one for early autumn wear. It is featured by many of the best houses over here, made Of silk and of serge, combined with satin. The lines from shoulder to hips are quite straight, with the sides either belted or curved to outline the figure. They are- usually called redingote gowns, because they suggest the new Iredingote tunic that Cheruit is putting out this summer. The one-piece frock that carries out the same effect of an unbroken line from shoul'der to heel is better than a two-piece suit, which gives more material to be la burden to the figure. These belted tunics, as the dressmakers often called- them, were offered in vain to the majority of our ’women last March and April, but Ithey were looked at askance as being too unconventional. Now they (have become the chief stock of some qf the houses that make a practice of dressing the woman who wants Ito be in the swing of a popular fashion. They are the most convenient type of gown that one can wear. They do not confine the figure at any spot, and cover the surplus of flesh that may give too much of a curve to the (figure for agreement with the modern standard. The majority are of dark blue and many have an acceptable touch of scarlet, either through embroidery or worked buttonholes, through which is Tun • the lacing of ribbon that holds the gown together down the front or 'back. This omission of hook and eyes or buttons and the substitution of ribbon or silk cord run through prominent buttonholes heavily ornamented with a colored silk is accepted on all sides. A hostess at a tea, a woman who always has the last thing from Callot or Cheruit, wore a white chiffon frock that swung gracefully away from the figure and was laced up half Its length with white satin ribbon. ‘{Copyright. 1815, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)

IN THE PREVAILING MODE

Fancy Silks, Among Other Varieties of Combinations, Stand High In Public Favor. There are many fancy silks, especially in taffeta, in checks, stripes, plaids and embroidered taffetas with little bouquets in several shades, the design being a pompadour without glaring colors. Chocked taffetas are in every possible combination, with white or black grounds, and all sizes

POCKETS THAT ARE HANDY

Travelers Will Appreciate the .Comfort That Is Afforded by These Appliances. When traveling, a couple of roomy pockets that are quite safe yet easily got at are a great boon, and if made as shown on a sort of deep band, they can be worn under the traveling coat without showing, as it is usually loose, or might even be put under the skirt, and unless anything very bulky was put in would not much disarrange the set of the skirt. / ■

from the small sketch at top, it is Just a straight band of which might match the skirt, and can be lined or not, according to strength needed; It is bound all round with narrow ribbon and is buttoned in front or might be fixed with press studs. The envelope pockets are sewed on and have buttoned-over flaps. The top of the band could be fixed to skirt by pm»ll safety pins or smart press studs. [The half of a stud sewed each side skirt would be little seen. 1 " "V 1 1 Y«r-» - }-■ : ' .+ .» ' // -V* Some men haven't any homes. And other man are married to suffragettes.

For just holding money, jewelry, and a few letters, the band need not be more than about 6 or 7 inches deep, but one .of larger size would be useful when gardening, or doing household work; as will be seen

FOR EARLY AUTUMN

A Useful Tailored Style Is the Design Shown Here; It May Be Carried Out In Cloth, Serge, Gaberdine or Woollen Cord. Desirable Fullness Is Given to the Skirt by Two Flat Plaits That Are Made Each Side Both Front and Back; They Are Bt!tehed Nearly to the Knees, Then Are Left to Fall Free. The Coat Has Sleqves Set Into Ordinary Armholes. Hat of Dark Blue Taffeta, With Clusters of Cherries Under the Raised Brim.

of squares, from the smallest to large squares. Some of the new Scotch plaids have stripes of brocaded satin. When used for the body of the skirt, the plaits hide the colored stripes, which show when the wearer moves. For dressy toilets mousseline and silk voile are used, combined with bands of satin or taffeta. Satin gives a pretty reflection under light moussellne. Fine gaberdine is a favorite wool material, but is prettiest when trimmed with Bilk. There are very full Bkirts all cov--ered with large plaits, which part and fly about, stretching out like butterflies. Other skirts have so many godets that they give thfc appearance of a bell. Some skirts made of silk have a little hoop at the base to prevent the falling in of the fullness, so that the skirt, while clinging to the hlpe, stands out well from the limbs. The trimmings are little plaltings and ruchinga laid in scallops at the base and half way up the skirt

Gray Is Popular.

Gray is one of the most popular shades. It is cool, and when It Is becoming 1b really charming. But there are many types of face and color that cannot stand gray, and It should be worn, especially in the paler shades, only after careful thought

COZY COVERS THAT WASH

Desirable In That They Are 8o Easily Kept Clean and Have Look of Freahnese, Washable cozy covers are very nice for everyday use, as they can be so easily kept clean and fresh-looking. We give a sketch here of a simple, dainty cover, carried out In white spotted muslin; our model was made with a lining of pale blue sateen that could easily be slipped out when the muslin is washed. Of course, the color of this

lining should be selected to suit the tea or breakfast service the cozy Ie used with. A hemstitched frill of plain muslin Is carried quite across and loops of cord are sewn in the center for lifting purposes. The spotted muslin must be cut deep enough to allow of the edge being turned well under the inside, where it may be tacked to the rto*7 or fastened by press studs. . \ts2. . ; • » It takes a whole lot of crumbs si comfort to make a square meal.

COOL SUMMER DRINKS

BEVERAGES THAT ARE ENJOYABLE ON THE HOT DAYS. ( Hostess Here Bhould Make a Selection Delightful for Her Quests and Consequently of Natural Pleasure to Herself.

'Recipes for cooling beverages are ever welcome at this season, when the hostess is eager to tempt her guests. _ Claret Cup.—An old friend, good if properly made, but a very insipid compound if noL The following is-an old English recipe for this delectable summer drink: Stand a bottle of claret and on© of soda water on ice to cool. Put a tablespoonful of granulated sugar in a claret Jug with a wine glass of brandy and blend thoroughly. Add three strips of lemon peel, cut into bits, and two strips of cucumber rind, also two sprigs of fresh green mint and a tablespoonful of maraschino. Add the claret and soda water, stir well together, ice and serve immediately. Mint Punch. —Make a. sirup by boiling one quart of water and two cupfuls of sugar 120 minutes. Bruise and separate a dozen sprigs of mint, cover with one and one-half cupfuls of boiling water and steep for 10 minutes. Then strain and add to the sirup. Add the Juice of eight lemons, two oranges, a cupful of strawberry Juice and set aside to cool. When ready to serve, add one pint of claret, a large piece of ice and enough water to dilute. Garnish with mint leaves and strawberries. India Punch.—The Juice of two oranges and two lemons, one cupful of water and one cupful of sugar; boil for 10 minutes: Add this to one pint of cold tea. Chill and serve, adding a few strawberries and cherries for garnishing. Canton Punch.—Chop a pound of Canton ginger (the kind that comes in earthenware jars), add eight cupfuls of cold water and two cupfuls of sugar. Cover and let stand half an hour. Then gradually bring to the boiling point and boil for 15 minutes. Then add a cupful each of orange and lemon Juice. When cool, strain and serve with crushed ice. English Lemonade. —Pare two oranges and six lemons as thinly as possible and steep them in a quart of hot (not boiling) water for four hours. Boil one and a quarter pounds of granulated sugar in three pints of water. Combine the two liquids, and add the juice of six oranges, and a dozen lemons. Stir well, strain and ice.

Cretonne Handbags.

There ig a rage for things made of cretonne —not cushions and slips to cover the chairs and curtains, but things to wear. One of the latestncretonne novelties is the cretonne handbag. It is noL necessarily cheap, as the fabric from which it is made might make one think it is. For it is made and mounted in an expensive, as well aa in a cheap, way; The expensive mount shows a silk lining and a substantial metal frame of good quality, and this sort of handbag can be appropriately carried with the most elaborate lingerie frock. The cheaper cretonne handbag is also pretty with lingerie frocks, especially at th* seashore or in the country.

Chicken Broth With Rice.

Select a soft-meated fowl (milkfed, If possible); disjoint and prepare for stewing. Cover with sufficient water; bring to the boil, and place in the fireless cooker for four hours or more, or simmer gently over a slow fire until tender, adding boiling water when necessary. Cook sufficient rice to thicken soup and for a pudding next day. Season the broth with ialt, pepper and bay leaf. The pieces of chicken may be lifted, drained, floured, seasoned and fried in butter, a little broth being reserved to add to the browned butter for the gravy. Garnish with parsley or cress.

Fragments of Cold Meat.

Fill an earthen dish with alternate layers of thinly sliced cold boiled potatoes and cold roast meat, well moistened with a brown sauce. Instead of a crust the dish is covered with a thick layer of boiled rice, which is dotted with bits of butter and sprinkled with cheese. It is browned in the oven, and just before serving the dish is decorated with triangles of toast and sprigs of parsley. This is a good way to serve a curry of fish or chicken.

To Clean Blankets.

To clean blankets or all wool garments shave up half a bar of any good laundry soap, add four tablespoonfuls of ammonia, "put in the tub and half fill the tub with cold water. Enter the articles to be cleaned and let soak for hours. Then rinse in water containing fonr tablespoonfuls of ammonia. Do not wring. The articles will be Just like new and will not shrink.

Potato Fritters.

* 801 l half a dozen potatoes, beat them and mix with three well-beaten eggs, a gill of milk, a Httle olled butter. Mix well together'' and drop Into boiling dripping. Fry a light brown, dish up and sprinkle with sugar. Serve hot

Hard Sauce.

Cream well together one cupful of white sugar and two tablespoonfuls of butter. Add three drops of vanilla or g little sherry wine. The beaten whits of an egg is often added to make t very foamy. Serve Ice cold

DRIED FRUITS IN DESSERTS

Pro parly Used, It May Be Made to Servo to as Good Purpose as the Fresh. Dried trait is quite as pice as fresh, but it has been overworked in the alleged Interest of economy. It will make a dessert second to none, if properly used. The covered enameled ware casserole is the proper cooking utensil for dried fruit. Let it soak over night, and cook very slowly, and it will regain its shape and also its finest flavor. In addition it should have some sort of accompanying flavor. Prunes soaked in just enough wine to cover them. and then cooked in this way taste like something costly. Apricots cooked with raisins are good. So are dried apples cooked in the good, oldfashioned way. in cider. A mixture of two or three kinds of dried fruit, all cooked together, is good. Dried peaches —add a little vanilla to the sirup when they are done. Dried cherries are not used here to any extent, but in England, where the cherry is ah old and famous fruit, they are used with currants in plum cake, and very nice they are. It 1b perfectly practicable to use any sort of dried fruit, cooked slowly In this way, to add flavor to bread puddings or steamed puddings. The fruit can be either mixed with the bread pudding or put in the dish with the bread on top, or in layers; but when it is used the bread Bhould not be soaked in milk; the fruit juice will make enough moisture, and the bread should merely be soaked enough in water to make it soft, and cooked with the fruit, covered.

FOR THE MORNING REPAST

Some Dishes That Are More Than Usually Acceptable in the Hot Weather. In the summer this meal should be simple and of wholesome, easily digested food. Of course things must be tasty, and quite as much thought and pains should be expended on a light breakfast as on a heavy one. Foods should be selected in reference to their suitability to one another and the season. The Sunday morning breakfast should be different. Banish from the Sunday morning breakfast table anything that istserved on week day mornings except coffee. Here are a few simple menus which may serve as a guide: Peaches or stewed pears, hominy, poached eggs on toast, cocoa or coffee. - Raspberries or blackberries, fried egg plant, toast, coffee. Blackberries, cream of wheat, molded eggs, toast, coffee. Fruit, cereal, small broiled lamb chops, with cold asparagus; rolls, coffee. Fruit, cereal, an omelet with peas, asparagus or tomatoes, biscuits, coffee. Fruit, cereal, a well-soaked salt mackerel, boiled or broiled, with a cream parsley sauce; rolls, cocoa or coffee. x Fruit, cereal, creamed dried beef, muffins, coffee. Chop fine a cupful of dried beef. Put over the fire with one gill of cream or milk. Season with pepper and stir in four beaten eggs. When thick turn over squares of hot buttered toast. Orange juice, cereal, broiled mackerel, baked potatoes, toast, coffee.

Carafe Frappe.

Frappe, as most persons know, is to freeze, and carafe is the glass decanter smart folk use at their functions for holding drinking water. Fill the bottles with distilled water to within an inch of the top and then sink them to two-thirds depth in a tub of ice, as for making ice cream; use less salt than for cream, and do not have the ice cover the decanters any higher than stated, as the glass may break. Stopper them with bits of absorbent cotton during the freezing. The ice forms at the bottom of the bottles apd the -displaced water rises, and as long as the ice remains the decanters can be refilled and used after a few minutes.

Bake Vegetables.

Do not boil vegetables in the oldfashioned way and throw away most of the substance in the water. Cook them in the oven and preserve the flavor and prevent odors in the house. This last is especially true of sauerkraut, cabbage and onions. If you have no casserole cook them in a granite pan, placed in a pan of water in the oven. If to be served with a cream sauce, pour a thin sauce over the raw vegetables and cook till tender, or cook with butter or meat fryInga or bacon.

Baked Sausages.

Place them in a dripping pan in single layer and bake in a moderate oven; turn them whdn half Stone, that they may be brown on both sides; serve with pieces W toast between them, having cut the toast about the size of the sausages and moistened with & little of the sausage fat.

Potato and Pea Salad.

Cook the peas in salted water; when done, put aside to cool; add tb them cold boiled potatoes cut in small dice; also a hard boiled egg and a white, boiled onion, chopped fine; pour over them a dressing made of oil, lemon Juice, salt and pepper to taste, t-

To Save the Fruit Jar.

Before pouring hot fruit into a glass dish or jar, place the receptacle on s cloth wet in cold water. This prevent* the glass from, breaking.—Good house keeping Magazine

WANTED IT DONE BY PROXY

Youngster’s Ingenious Idea for Getting Out of a Situation That Didn’t Please Him. Jack disliked being kissed, and, being a handsome little chap, sometimes had a good deal to put up with. One day he had been kissed a lot. Then, to make matters worse, on going to the picture palace in the evening, instead of his favorite oowboy and Indian pictures there was nothing but a lot more hugging and kissing. He returned home completely out of patience with the whole tribe of women. After he had rolled Into bed, mother came in to kiss him good-night. He refused to be kissed. Mother begged and begged, till In disgust he turned to his father, who was standing at the doorway looking on, and said: “Daddy, for the love of heaven, give this woman a kiss!”

The Paternal Opinion.

"My son,” said old Mr. Pebblescope, “I see a disposition on your part to lead a fast life. .If you persist In this course I will have to take drastic measures to reform you." "What will you do, pop T —l’ll cut off your allowance and you’ll have to earn every cent you spend. In that case I figure that a Joy ride on a trolley car will be about your limit.”

What married men can’t understand is the fact that most bachelors are unable to appreciate their freedom.
