Pongee llnpn and i;n polka dotted linen are used to the best possible advantage in the two costumes sketched to-day, and although the fabrics are of the tub variety their tone and pattern Is such that they can be worn an entire season with out even being cleaned. The first dress is copper color with a pretty design of delicate pink flow ers with plenty of green foliage and long green stems. The circular skirt fits the hips perfectly and is TUB FROCKS, trimmed at the bottom with gradu ated folds of green linen. This trimming Is repeated In th decor ated scheme of the waist, appearing about the deep narrow vest of laoe and the sleevees. Dotted linen elaborately stitched "th narrow linen soutache braid Is ployed for the second frock. Gowns e these can be bought In patterns, .I are much cheaper than would ' the attempt to braid the linen .lies self. There 1b a deep border bout the plaited skirt and the blouse has a skeleton ' arrangement of the braid trimming hanging over nn underblouse of thin cream colored bastlste figured with embroidery. For afternoon wear tub frocks of dressy design are quite as comme 11 faut as the fashionable silks and oer more elaborate fabrics. There is really no limit to the beauty that may be Imparted to the separate blouse, both through its own design and by way of countless little accessories of trimming that count for so much In expressing feminine charm and daintiness. Blonde lace Is a trimming that has played a prominent part In the design of smart midsummer costumes, and for separ ate blouses nothing could be more des'rable. Highly commended for Its dainti ness Is this short waist In blonde lace when mounted over the most delicate shade of apple green satin. The satin In turn Is veiled with chif ton. A large portion of the waist is A BLOUSE OF BLONDE LACE, formed of coarse filet net, handsome ly embroidered, the yoke vest and bac and front and the lower part of the sleeves being formed of this ma terial. Over this Is draped the finer lace, with the wide armholea out la on with - the front and back. The shoulders are Inset with medallions of soft silk Spanish lace and these are outlined with a pretty small leaf design of green floss silk embroid ery. The girdle Is of green silk trimmed with button covered with blond sat in outlined with black enamel. Frocks of white mull, lawn and dimlted patterned wltn delicate flow er sprays and polka dote are quit the correct thing for young misses this year. Dresses like th Illustra tion, trimmed principally with Valen ciennes insertion are not difficult to make at home, nor are they expen sive if bought ready mad.

One Woman's Way of Providing rul-utu!'- untl Nutritious Food. When I was married six years ago, I knew very llttlo about housework and absolute!' nothing about buying provisions for a faniliy table. There was a large grocery store and meat market In combination In our town, and there I used to tele phone my orders every morning for the meat, bread, fruit, groceries and vegetables. The result was that we usually had stale bread und wilted vegetables and poor cuts or meat; but so we went on for more than a year. One day, arter receiving an unusually poor array of articles, I resolved to try another procedure and select the dally food products. My husband had always paid every fortnight the meat and grocery hill. I asked him to allow me to caculate an average amount, hand me the al lowance and I would pay cash for everything. In a few weeks I had so arranged my dally routine that the visit for the marketing took very lit tle of my time. Certainly we had bette'r food upon our table, and, best of 'all, -I found at the end of each week some money left over. Here Is the sum and substance) of my pres ent regime. A farmer brings me egg3 and butter each week, thereby assuring fresh supplies of these Im portant necessities. Tne baker leaves hot bread, or cake or pie, any after noon when I have not had time to do my own baking. The vegetables I buy from a neighbor who has his gar den In sight, and the peas or corji come literally from the earth to the table within twenty-four hours. And I go early In the morning, Just after setting the rooms to rights, to select my meats from the butcher. All staple articles from tne grocer I or der In large quantities, thereby sav ing almost a third of their expense, and I have a splendid store closet, which Is the pride of my heart. The grocer also knows now that I want the very best of every thing, and that 1 will accept no other. Surely the food as now provided is not only more pal atble but also more nutritious. Army's Only Woman Officer. Mrs. Emily K. Woodley who was said to be the only woman ever regu larly commissioned as an ofllcer in the United States army, died recently In Philadelphia at the age of seventy three. She was the last of the thirty-five young women from Philadel phia who enlisted as nurses In the Civil War. She was a widow of twenty-six when she offered her ser vices as a nurse In 1861, and for her bravery and good work President Lincoln conferred on her a commis sion as captain In the army. She was later decorated with a gold med al by Secretary of War Stanton. For a number of years she was president of the National Association of Army Nurses of the Civil War, which she organized and was the only woman member of the Grand Army of the Republic.

Do you want a strong, serviceable little school bag. Take a piece of "heavy cord 20 'inches long, lap one end to the distance of an Inch over the other and sew the two lappud ends firmly together; then bind them neatly around and around with string. Bring the two edges or s'ds of the circle together, forming two ends V V (Fig. 1). Tie a strong Btrlnj; on each end (Fig. 1.) and fas ten each of the strings to tha back of a chair; you will then have a clre!e of heavy cord se.-uro y suspend ed in inld-alr. Cut 24 lengths ,t twine each 2o Indies long; douh! each piece and fasten all the utrands on the circle of heavy cord In tiio Fame way you make the fringe on the hammock (X X, Fig. 1), except that this time the strands must be q:i to a distance apart. Let all the lipnci i between the strands be equal. Hav ing fn-tenrd the lengths of twine on the ctrc:e, net them together e:;au;y ns you n-tted the hammock, but you must depend upon your eye to keep tlie meshes even and of the same size, aa tl.ire will be no board with llrts to guide, you (Fig. 1.) The ki-ots In circular rows, going round on both sldi'ii of the circle for eatn row. Con tinue the meshes until within three and a half Inches of the bottom, then tie the two sides together, closing the bottom of the bag and forming the fringe shown In Fig. 2. Having finished the bag untie the strings attached to the two ends and make two handles of heavy cord or slender rop. Fasten the handles on their respective sides of the bag. iXiop the ends of the handles under the cord forming the top of the bag, and bring each end up against Its own side of the handle. Sew each of the two ends of the two handles secure'y to the handle proper, then bind the sewed portions neatly together with fine cord as In Fig. 2. Needlework Notes. A thin silk or one that frays eas ily, may be cut out better If laid be tween sheets of thin paper and the pattern cut through paper and ma terial together. Don't, In order to avoid a tight blouse, cut a large armhole. A far better plan Is to ease the side seam. A wide armhole causes the blouse to be pulled out of place at the waist when the arm Is lifted. In sewing a piece of bias material to a straight piece, the former Is apt to become Btretchecl. To avoid this the bias should be placed under neath. It is often difficult to prevent the pile of velvet from being crushed in stitching It, and a good plan Is to place a piece of the san.e uuateriat face downward on It. The fingers resting on this will not flatten the pile Bend steel or whalebones at the waistline when making a bodice be fore putting them into the casings as the bodice will then fit closer to the figure. Cucumbers and the Complexion. Whatever the effect of cucumbers If taken internally, they befriend the complexion when used externally. The value of cucumbers, creams and lotions Is well known, but not every woman Is aware that the fresh vege table can be used with equally good effect. If you have cucumbers for a meal, boll the peelings, strain and bott'e the juice, and wash the face with It several times a day. If you have more cucumbers than you wish to eat, cut part of one and put It In the refrigerator. This can be sliced as needed and used on the face Instead of soap. If cucumber is sliced and soaked from two to four hours In nil'k it Is excellent for sunburn. Bathe the face freely with the liquid and dry carefully with a soft towel. Glove Economy. The long cotton gloves with "suede finish," to which so many women pin their faith during the hot weather, can have their durability greatly In creased If a minute piece of cotton wool is stuffed into the tip of each finger. Only the smallest quantity of wool is required, the object being to prevent the nails from wearlni; away th fabric of the gloves and causing holes after a short period of wear. .
