' SUMMER MILLINBRT.

Moat Anything ran b Mad Into a Sum
mer Hut.
Anything that can be twisted down
on the nose and away up In the back,
can be used either as a hat or a bonnet.
Then a garland ot flowers across the
front, massed In seemingly careless
combination, a big double, wide bow of
Dresden, nacre or ombre ribbon poised
at the back, another bunch of flowers
or foliage underneath the uptwisted
brim at the bark and you have a hat.
Many hata have little on them be

hat. This fills up all of the brim and
Entirely hides the crown. Thoro will
then bo on the upturned back a full
trimming of flowers, possible, but not
necesignrlily, a couple of tall tips stuck
to the left of the front, near the back,
pr an aigrette of flowers.
A very pretty summer hat Is of fawn
straw lined with black velvet, and Is
trimmed with ostrich feathers, pink
roses, black tips, and shot rose-colored
glace ribbons.
Toques of lilac, pinky mauve, ruddy
violet and white, are all framed around
the bright young faces, and if they are
not all bright and young they have all
the appearance of being so, surround
ed by theBe spring-time flowers. The
garden stocks are also much in favor
for hat trimming, in a wonderful com
bination of mauves and pinks.

TEAT SHALL WE DRINK?
Cool anil liefi-cablng lieverage for tbo
Kutumvr Time.
In the sultry summer days it requires
but comparatively little food to satisfy
a natural appetite; but with what shall
we quench the thirst that seems born
of high temperature and increased by,
'"humidity?"
We certainly require something tonic
In its nature, for these "warm waves"
are exceedingly enervating; but for
those who are on the temperance tide
of the fence and we all ought to be
our drink must be harmless and sim
ple not "strong," for such only "add
fuel to the flame."
The "cup that cheers, yet not inebri
ates," may be cooling. We have found
Iced tea certainly so, especially with a
little lemon juice and sugar added. Yet
fceyond that we often long for some
thing more aud different still refresh
ing. Having found a drink for summer
days that seems to meet all wants and
tastes healthful, easily made and in
expensive, we give the rule in the very
words It was given to us by a thrifty
New England housekeeper; and to aid

ell, she said: "It Is just two threes and
three twos." So given, ifts easily ie,
membered. The two threes were three
gallons of cold water and tlireo pounds
ot granulated sugar, put into a large
stone jar together. The three twos
were two large spoonfuls of tartaric
acid, two large spoonfuls of ground
ginger and two large spoonfuls of es
sence of wlntergreen. Mix these last
three Ingredients well together, make
iii to a paste with a little water and
stir Into the "two threes," adding one
cake of compressed yeast, or a scanty
cup ot the home-made article. Stir
well. Cover and allow to stand for
twenty-four hours. Then bottle and
fasten down the corks. Keep in a cool
place. It la good in twenty-four hours.
It is better in forty-eight, is perfect in
ten days. It Is exceedingly refreshing
In its effects, and to Invalids and dys
peptics Its tonic properties usually
prove it just the thing for the stomach.
Most housewives know how to make
cream soda and a variety of meads and
home-made beers that are cooling and
health-giving; hut the above drink,
among the many, does seem to combine
all the best qualities for a warm-day
beverage.
The Wearing of DlainoiicU.
When a woman Is asked theklnd ot
ring or bracelet she desires she Is apt
to say "a diamond one," and unless Bhe
has a great many jewels this Is a wlHe
choice, for the diamond may be worn
when colored gems would be In bad
taste. Diamonds should never be worn
in the morning, and should not be worn
when a simple visit is made before 1
o'clock. They should not be worn
when one is doing charitable work.
They should not be worn In profusion
with any out-of-door toilette, though a
small brooch and a pair of solitaire
earrings are frequently noticed on re
fined women. They should not be worn
to any extent, even in the ovenlng, at
places of amusement. They hould
never be seen on children. Thev
should not bo worn by people who are
in mourning.

diamonds and pearls are souvenir gifts

one's self with such an ornament the

WONDERS OF A WATOH rAOTQRY.
"A watch factory is a wonderfully
interesting place to visit," says the
dealer in timepieces. "Many of the
machines seem almost human. They
turn out the most delicate work, and
yet they can be managed by a girl of
louueen. you could almost say that
you put in the raw material at one
enti ana me nnisneti watch came out
at the other that is, the works.
" A watch case and the movements
are two different things. A wholesale
dealer never keeps them together.
The case3 are in one set of compart
ments, the works in .mntripr. Tho
retail dealer buys a lot of each and
combines them to suit himself or his
customers. The m.innf:irriirpr nf
the works send blocks, or actually a
set of works, minus wheels, to the
case manufacturers, and they make
their cases to fit. That was the rea
son the Swiss watches went out of
the market. They were not made in
regular sizes each case had to be
made to fit an individual set of works.
and it was too expensive. It is not
alwavs easv to fit a watch several
years old with the new works, for the
. A 1 1 .
stanuaros cnance every tew years.
Since I have been downtown six
teen years there has been a great
change in the size of watches. They
have been gradually growing smaller.
Why, atone time we put six ounces
of silver into a man's watch.
"But you can't expect the verv
small watches to keep such good
time. A Wf.m.in's w.atrh innnp il tn
her dress will never keep good time
anyway. It swings around too much.
A watch should be wound regularly,
and always left hanging when not
worn." Xeti York Times.
No Mora Swearing,
" Do you know," said Mr. Blobbs
to me this morning, " that the women
typewriters have done more to sup
press profanity than almost any other
agency? No matter how much a
man is given to swearing, it is rarely
ever he cusses in the presence of
women. A few years ago there was
hardly an office where an occasional
oath was not heard. Now the type
writer sits at her desk, and no man
ever thinks of uttering a cuss-word.
The refining influence of woman's
presence and the inate politeness of
the American gentleman have worked
a great reform."' Blobbs is a great
philosopher.
