GüüO IN COMBINATION

WASHABLE MATERIALS USED WITH ROUGH FABRICS. Cotton Crepe and MarquUette Especially Effective When So Treatcd Trimmings May Be About to Suit Fancy. For the summer white season no washable materials are so popular as cotton crepe and marquisette, both for blouses anil frocks. These are effectively combined with heavier, rough eurfaced fabrics, such as ratine, towCling and cotton inatelasse. For trimmings, much embroidery, linen laces and enameled and crystal buttons are used. A roost up-to-date and attractive summer frock can be made after the model oi our sketch, an all white design combining marquisette, ratine and eyelet embroidered handbag. In this design it will be necessary to havo a net foundation, to which the embroidery is stitched around the lower part of tbe blouse and the middle of the skirt. The embroidery In the blouse is veiled by the blouse itself, which is of the white marquisette and cut with long sleeves set into dropped armholes. The upper corners of the front opening are buttoned back from the neck, displaying the shirred yoke of the net foundation underneath, and there is a square turned down collar extending acrcjs the shoulders. The lwer part of the skirt, of white ratine, has a long narrow strip extending up over the front of the dress New Tunic Effect. .-and trimmed with a row of enameled Hmll buttons, which form tho fastening. ' Tho short tunic skirt of marquisette veils one-half of the embroidery band'Ing, and is draped up a little at center front under tho narrow' buttoned down panel of ratine. Tho lower edge of tho wide embroidery banding hangs, free like a flounce, but is stitched Hat to the net foundation skirt along the upper edge. A girdle of crushed magenta satin is tiod In front, and lends a pretty tioto of contrasting color --Kansas City Star. PROPER CARE OF THE NAILS Rubbing With Cold Cream or Oiive Oi! I Will Prevent Them Breaking Soaking in Cornmeal. Cf your nails break, it ts because they are brittle. To improve them rub cold cream or olive oil into them every night when going to bed. This will gotten tho nail and do away with Its tendency to split. It will also soften the culiclo so that you can push it back with tho tip of your little finger o( tho end of a hoof-shaped orange wood stick, and show the half-moon that is at tho baso of every well-kept nail It Is an excellent plan if you want pretty finger tips to give them a cornmeal soak overy now and then. Put a VOkUlUSJUUU Ul 11UU LUI UlMVUl 111 V.UU bottom of a small bowl and pour hot water on It and let it stand until Hiket warm Soak the fingers in it for five minutes or so. This softens the cuti-1 cle at the base of the nails, soothes j uy Irritation that may be present, and makes it easier to trim the nails in Rhapo. It also whitens the skin. Don't cut the nails in too pointed a shape. When the finger tips are rounded, it only makos them look broader to cut the nails. To make tho fingers appear um taper as possible the nails should fce trimmed to correspond with the curvo of the tips. Drawing Strings. When a drawing string or ribbon pulls through so that the end is concealed, open out a hairpin until it la straight, then make a fiat hook of one &d. Insert the pin In gather and pull but string This will sav much trouble

MAKES PRETTY FERN HOLDER

Half of Cocoanut Shell, Appropriately Decorated, an Improvement on Ordinary Pot. Quaint fern-holders with some dalnty little ferns in them, always look wonderfully pretty hung up in a window or hall, or some other suitable place, and we given a sketch of a holder made with the aid of half of the shell of a cocoanut. A nice "hairy" shell should be selected, and one will be sufficient to make two holders. The edge may be cut even, as shown in the illustration, or it will look very well left jagged, if preferred. All that has to be done then is to bore three little holes in the shell near the edge, and tie ribbons to it, and knot them together above, in the manner illustrated. The fern can be planted in the shell and will thrive as well as in an ordinary pot. When these holders are made lor use out of doors, for hanging, for instance, underneath a balcony, wire should take the place of the ribbon, and a small hole can be made in the bottom of the shell to allow unnecessary moisture to escape. Making Lace Blouses. There is a disposition on the part of tho dressmakers to go back to oldfashioned lierre lace for these new kind of waists that are attached to dark skirts, and the result is effective. They are lined with coarse net instead of chiffon cloth, which has had a setback during the last six months, except for pleated blouses with long sleeves, rolling collars and hemstitched edges. These blouses will wash and are more approved by the exclusive woman than those of white net. It is wise to bring the dark skirt well above tho waist line and drape it in some fashion on this attached blouse; remember first that the skirt and the waist are both mounted on the same lining which fastens down the front or back. If there is- not enough of the skirt material to do this, then add a wide folded girdle, which is finished with a buckle or a bow and long ends at the back. Stylish Old Zinnia. Zinnias have come into great popularity this summer. Their popularity began, in fact, last winter, when Futurist designs and colors first came in. There is a stiffness and rigidity of form about zinnias that harmonizes with designs formed of cubes and triangles. And the bright, clear colors of this flower suggest those in the giddiest futurist silk. Hence the popularity of the zinnia for corsage bouquets, hat and frock trimming in its artificial form, and for household and garden decoration in its real form. IN THE SMART WHITE SERGE One of the Most Popular of the Season's Designs Especially Adapted for Young Girls. - In the drawing is pictured white serge frock for a young girl. Very smart is this little dress with its under blouse or guimpe effect of fine tucked batiste with wide rolling collar of the same. T h o over-dress consists of a simple peasant blouse and narrow skirt of serge, the neck of the former outlined by a narrow facing of white silk having two narrow plaitings of the same on the outer edge and a piping of black satin on the inner. The three-quarter sleeves are finished in a similar manner. The skirt is trimmed on the right side with a row of black rimmed buttons. The girdle is of the white taffeta. Try a Pine Bath. Do you go to the mountains? If so, try a pine bath. It Is very refreshing and a tonic. It takes a pound of fresh pius needles and pine cones. Break them into bits and boil them for thirty minutes in enough water to keep them covered. Steam the water from them and add to a. hot bath.

POLISHED FLOOR NEEDS CARE Methods by Which It May Be Made to Last Long and Always Appear at its Best.

The first step in polishing a soft wood floor is to see that it is perfectly smooth and clean. It it has been already painted or varnished the stains should be removed with strong ammonia and . thorough scraping, when all cracks and dents should be closed with putty and a "filler" applied all over. This can be purchased at most oil and varnish shops, and should either be mixed with a little color or a sufficient quantity of floor stain should be added. The filler should be put on with a flat brush or niece of cloth and worked in one' direction with the grain of the wood, while on completion of the process the room should be closed for 24 hours. At the end of that time the boards should be rubbed until they shine, with a longhandled, heavy weighted broom, over which a piece of carpet has been tacked, and this process may be repeated ad libitum. Finally the floor may be polished with boiled linseed oil and turpentine, this mixture being rubbed well in with a cloth and then left for an hour or two to dry, -after which it must be again polished with the weighted brush. Instead of a final touch of this description, the floor may be finished with a coat of varnish or shellac or with some prepared hardwood treatment, .both of which should be put on evenly and thinly with a weighted brush or with an old piece of carpet. In order to keep the floor at its best after the polishing process has been completed, it should never be washed with water, but after all the dust has been removed crude petroleum should be rubbed in and left to dry. Endives, stewed, make a pleasant change as a vegetable. Cold sauce or fruit added to junket makes a pleasant change. To cook macaroni without sticking use a vessel with a sieve bottom. To clean rusty knitting needles rub with kerosene and polish with pum ice. People who suffer from acidity should eat acid fruit with farinaceous food. Flies don't come around without be ing invited and the invitation consists of refuse. With a steam cooker an entire meal can be cooked over one burner of the gas stove. In cooking asparagus for salad it should be dropped into cold water when done. Flowered cretonnes make the best covers for beds on the out-of-doors sleeping porch. The most economical way to cook mushrooms is to stew them, because all the stalks can be used. Left-over strips of wall paper can be used for the "lining papers" that are put under straw matting. Fruit Frappe With Nuts. Almost every woman nowadays has her own special frappe combination, with which she delights to mystify her guests. Into the bottom of the frappe glass put a generous spoonful of preserved strawberries, on top of the berries come the ice cream, vanila in this case, then a spoonful of whipped cream, and on top of the cream a grating of English walnuts. All sorts of fruit combinations are used as foundation for the frappes, and the covering for the whipped cream is variously cocoa, grated macaroons; chopped nuts, a sprinkle of cinnamon or candied rose leaves. Pretty little frappe glasses in the American pressed ware, light and dainty, can now be purchased as low as 80 cents a dozen. In serving, each glass is set on a pretty china plate with a little doily between the glass and the plate. A apoon, of course, goes with it. Vegetarian Sausages. One and one-half cups lima beans, two tablespoons butter, one teaspoon salt, a dash tabasco sauce. Soak the beans over night, cook them in salted water until soft, drain perfectly dry and then squeeze the pulp through a potato ricer. Beat in the butter and seasoning. If not moist enough, add one beater egg or as much of it as required, making the paste so soft that it can be rolled into croquets. Shape like sausage, dip in beaten egg and flour, and fry in butter until brown. To Bleach Faded Blouses and Dresses. The colored dressor blouse that has become faded with frequent launderIngs, or from wear In the sun, may be bleached to a clear white by boiling in cream of tartar water. The correct quantity to be used to make the garment a pure white is a teaspoonful of the powder to a quart oft water. 'Pepper Relish. Twelve green tomatoes, four green peppers, two onions, chop together, add two-third cup sugar, two cups vinegar, salt To taste. Mix all together and bottle. This may be kept two years and be as good as when first made. To Kill an Unpleasant Odor. Dried orange peej allowed to smolder on a piece of red-hot iron or on an old shovel will kill any bad odor in a room and leave a fragrant one behind.

WHtN PHhPARlNG FISH

THREE GOOD RECIPES THAT MAY ;BE KEPT IN MIND. Trout, With Appropriate Garnishing, Is One of the Best Baked Cod a Universal Favorite Proper Sauce to Serve. Trout, Friars . Scale and clean a large trout, place in a saucepan and pour over it a cupful of boiling vinegar, which will have the effect of turning the trout blue, and an equal quantity of white wine. If necessary to cover the trout add sufficient water to do so. Add an onion stuck with cloves, a carrot, half a bunch of celery, a few bay leaves, a small bunch of parsley, half a teaspoonful of peppercorns and salt to suit the taste, and boil over the fire for about 15 minutes, having the cover on the saucepan. When done, remove and drain the fish, place on a folded napkin, spread on a dish, garnish with parsley, and serve wit oil and vinegar or any favorite fish sauce in a sauceboat. Flounder, Brussels. Glean and skm a flounder, sprinkle both sides with pepper and salt, and squeeze over a small quantity of lemon juice. Dip the fish irr warmed butter, cover with finely grated breadcrumbs, place on a gridiron and broil over a clear fire, turning to brown both sides equally. Bone an anchovy, put the flesh into a mortar with a small lump of butter, and pound it, then place it in a small saucepan with a wineglassful of white wine and the strained juice of half a lemon, and stir over the fire for a few minutes. When cooked place the flounder on a hot dish, pour the anchovy sauce over it and serve. Baked Cod, Savoy. Prepare afresh cod by tying up the head with a string and filling the inside with butter, in which have been mixed two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley to the quarter of a pound, a little salt and pepper and the juice of two lemons. Put the fish, belly downward, on a buttered drainer in a fish kettle and pour over a mixture made as follows: Melt half a pound of butter in a saucepan, add a pint of chopped mushrooms, a blanched and chopped shallot, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, the juice of a lemon and a crushed clove of garlic, all of these being partly cooked before being used. Season to taste. Now pour in a pint of white wine and bring the whole quickly to a boil, and allow to cook gently for an hour and a half, basting the fish every ten minutes with the liquor. When the fies is firm put the fish on a dish, pour over half the sauce and put the rest in ä sauceboat. This may be accompanied also by any other favorite fish sauce. Washington Star. Cantaloupe Glace. Cantaloupe glace is a delicacy that is truly delicious. Take melons that have been thoroughly chilled, cut im halves and lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds. Pill the hollow of each half with vanilla ice cream, packing it in as firm as possible, leaving a little mound in the center. Place the halves together tightly, thus forcing the cream up into the fruit, causing the melon juice to mingle with the cream. When ready to serve, a knife run between the halves separates thefruit and slices the cream. Ladies' Cabbage. Cook tender leaves of cabbage in plenty of boiling salted water, adding a pinch of soda. Separate the leaves of cabbage before dropping them in one at a time. Cook until tender, drain, and add one teaspoon flour blended with one cup rich milk. Then add salt and pepper and cook until sauce is thick. The mixture may be put in a baking dish with breadcrumbs on top. Dot with butter and brown in oven, serving hot Folding Furniture. It's for camping. It's for small houses. And it folds up entirely. One may ship It conveniently. Upon: arrival there's simply to unfold it. Folding tables are useful at home or picnicking. Folding cots and swings are especially designed for carrying off into the wilderness. Pig ?n Blankets. Choose good-sized, plump oysters. Wash, drain and wipe dry. Select some good bacon and cut very thin. Wrap a piece of this about an oyster and fasten each with a toothpick. Drop these into a hot frying pan, turning until crisp on all sides. Season wtth pepper and serve very hot Pineapple Salad. Place the shredded fruit into a deep glass dish and pour over it half a pint powdered sugar mixed with one tablespoonful each of orange and lemon juice. This should be done at least three hours before serving, so that, the sugar will dissolve. About Hot-Water Bags. When a hot-water bag starts to leak never throw it away. Heat clean white sand In the oven and pour it into the bag or bottle. The sand is better than the water, as it retains the heat longer. In Preserving Time. When supply of good rubber rings gives out use two old rings on a jar. It is safer than if only one is used. It is better economy, however, to buy new rubber rings every year.

WHEN FRANCE GOES TO WAR

Immense Amount of Responsibility Will Be Placed in the Hands of the Provincial Mayors. Compared with conditions in France, the life of an American mayor Is a little short of celestial, for it is on the French mayor that the whole elaborate machinery for the mobilization of the troops to defend la patrie turns. During a period of peace M. le Maire finds that his duties are more or less a matter of routine, but as soon as there are rumors of war in the air bis responsibilities begin to tighten and increase. Even In a time of political tension, along with the diplomats of the day, the mayor is worried, for he must warn the parents of the reservists to keep their sons on the alert, must find substitutes for the doc tor and chemist who may be sum-, moired to follow the troops, provide for the lodging and victualing of passing troops, arrest all vagabonds, and keep a watchful eye on the water supply of the commune. Once the order for a general mobilization is received, no detail, however small and seemingly unimportant, must escape the mayoral eye. The mayor must even see to the "war trousseaux" of soldiers called to the colors. He must advise them "to fur nish themselves with two shirts, a pair of pants, and a pair of .strong shoes which have already been worn." It is even his duty to recommend a bath, a shave, and a hair-cut. When war has broken out, it is left to his tact to smooth over any difficulties that may arise between the population of his commune and the troops quartered in it. He must appeal to the patriotism of the former "to share their food with their qountry's defenders." Whilst seeing to it that the latter do not claim anything more than "the customary diet of the countryside," in case of war, as one can see, the destinies of the country will be entrusted not only to the arms of her soldiers, but in a hardly less degree to the patriotic activities of Messieurs her Maires. Cuckoos. Some farmers keep their powder dry ,for black billed and yellow billed cuckoos. They have a false notion that cuckoos fight robins and run the redbreasts away from the cherry tree. Tent caterpillars build nests in the forks of wild and cultivated cherry trees. Now, our good American cuckoos are the birds that love to butcher these loathsome crawling pests, says the New York Sun. With bills like sabers they slash into the tents and mercilessly slaughter the caterpillars in their breeding and sleeping quarters. lack billed and yellow bfTTed cuckoos are decent birds, are faithful rs r.:atee, are tender and affectionate parents. They build their own nestsr. lay pretty eggs therein and rear their own young and in this are wholly unlike the foal cuckoo tribe. Oar little feathered friends are the best protectors to cherry and' other fruit trees, and it is a pity they are sometimes unjustly shot to pieces. Etat it is like the old saying, give a dog: a bad name and you might as well hang him. Riches and Your Head. Now, suppose yourself poor hardly able to make a living even by the severest and' most exhausting labor. And suppose a few days hence you became the possessor erf several millions of dollars- iir real money how would it affect your Ireacf? Don't decide right away. Here's a case to guide yoivr thought: Down in West Virginia a few months ago oil was discovered on the starved" UttTe farm of a poor widow who had several children to feed. What do you think sudden riches did to her head? Listen: She soon married a gambler and began wasting her money in every reckless way suggest ed to her, neglecting her children. Tb other day it was decided that her brain is addled1 and her husband's affairs were placed in the hands of a committee. Of course, none of these thing might happen to us. But it is well! to know of the dangers, so wmay prepare to meet them. One never knows what may happen, yc know. Striking Story. F. Irring Fletcher, at a Sphinx cIud dinner in New York, told a striking advertising story. "I once made a bet with a dry goods dealer," said Mr. Fletcher, "that he I couldn't spend in a year on advertis- ' ing all he made in that year. The man took me up and sailed in. "But he lost his bet. Though his advertising bill grew bigger and bigger, he lost. For the more he advertised the more he sold, and in the end, after starting eight branch stores, la gave in and paid me my money." Mr. Fletcher paused, then added impressively: "Any dealer, dry goods or otherwise, who doesn't believe this story, need only to try it himself to be convinced."

Favorite Fiction. "I Don't Like to Knock Off Work: I Am Taking This Vacation Merely to Please My Family." "Why, I've Known That Man Ever Since He Was Knee High to a Grasshopper." "It Will Not Be the Least Bit or Trouble, Madam, I Assure You, to Hunt Up Those Friends of Your While I Am in New York City." "Yes, I Take a Little Liquor Onue in a While for Medicinal Purposes; I Really Hato tho Taste of It." "Take a Seat; Miss Jones Will Urn Down in a Moment"

"Remember, my friends," said Mr. Hapgood, "the present is the future from which you hoped so much." BLUE AND DISCOURAGED Mrs. Hamilton Tells Kow Sha Finally Found Health in Lydia E.
