HOW TO USE KITCHENETTE.
Hints on Wasteless Buying and Odor
less Cooking.
Tlio kitchenette housekeeper hits
prollr .in to meet 1 1 1:1 1 do not confront
the wuiiiiiii with n full iledp'd kitchen.
Without '.n Inch of supcriluoiis room
it tjl.es tare nnd skill to become pro
llclent In wasteless buying, odorless
cooking nnd easy serving.
The beginner will do well to shop
here nnd there until she finds a tnnr
kctninn with an eye to her Interests n
well ns his own. If ho realizes that she
is to be n regular customer he will
give her many n valuable hint. He will
pick out a bunch of asparagus that will
cook lu the shortest time and tuny be
oaten to the last scrap as against hor
choice of showy while stalk and mea
ger tip. lie will gently dissuade her
front fresh spinach, which is so great
In bulk as to cause her embarrassment
In her cramped quarters, and reeotn
mend young carrots or string beans in
stead
So taught, the miniature housekeeper
will soon know where to tlnd the tiulit
ly headed hearts of lettuce and the
trim white bunches of celery, both de
void of waste. She will learn that tin
extra thick beefsteak Is the kitchen
ette's substitute for roast beef, at n
minimum of expense nnd without an
ounce of waste.
AVasteless buying tntM be one of tier
nltus in life. She must learn to be
mistress of the art of concentration in
every detail of her housekeeping. With
a little practice she will soon lea in
what and how much to buy. she will
discover how to get the most out of her
small gas stove, and she will learn t'i
secret of cooking tilings in small piei e.
so that they will leave no objection
able odor. Onions may be quartered
nnd cabbage cut fine, ns for cold slaw,
before boiling. Caulillower may be di
vided Into llorets and quickly boiled
until tender. Any of these, covered
with a cream sauce and turned into a
buttered baking dish, may be tucked
out of sight In the oven, hot nnd ready
to serve at the right time. With a little
practli-e In timing the cooking process
the cooking odor problem may be re
duced to a minimum.
HOW TO USE A NEW CARRIAGE
Let It Stand a Few Days Before Using
So the Finish Can Harden.
The time when a fine carriage or
wagon needs the most careful atten
tion is immediately after the first time
it is driven out. It should then be
thoroughly washed. If the new vehicle
happens to be a carriage more than
the usual pains must be taken, be
cause if mud is allowed to dry upon
the panels permanent stains will be
the result It Is advisable not to use
a new carriage or wagon at once, but
to let it stand in the stables for several
Cays. ThLs will give the newly ap
plied varnish nu opportunity to set
and harden.
The fine art of carriage washing Is
best exercised with the aid of water
applied with sponges and chamois
leathers. There is nothing better than
water and plenty of It. AH movable
fittings being removed nnd the uphol
stering covered, the skillful carriage
washer starts work on the roof. This
washed and wiped dry with chamois,
ho proceeds to do the dasher and
aprons, these being dried in turn.
Next como the seat borders, floor
cloths and bootlngs of the steps. The
wheels are washed last. The secret of
carriage washing Is plenty of water
and careful wiping. If the vehicle has
not been used for several days It
should have an airing, dusting nnd
washing Just the same.
How to Plant a Tree.
' Most trees are given a too restricted
hole. Dig the holes at least six feet In
diameter and get some experienced per
son who is used to handling it, if such
bo mailable, to discharge two or three
Btic-ks of dynamite in the bottoms near
the siik-s in order to loosen up the sur
rounding earth to mnke running ground
for the tree roots later ou.
The holes should be at least a foot
deepir than the depth at which the
treis are to bo planted, and this spare
is to be filled in with broken stone cov
ered w ith soil, 011 which the trees will
rest This will insure that good drain
nge lilrh is necessary for all trees nut
of the swamp kind. In the more south
ern portions of tho country, where the
grouud dries out during periods of
drought to a depth of several feet,
drain tiles should be laid lu the bot
toms of the holes, and one tile with the
"bell" level with the top of the ground
set perpi-ndlcular, to bo used in water
iiig the trees when needed. This Is an
cpr i.illy good Idea for street trees,
but tin- tile tcp should be protected by
nu ir-rn curb box.
How to Wash Silk Blouse.
When washing sill; blouses nevei
rub soap on them or nib the silk be
tween tho hands. Use soapsuds and
put a little methylated spirit Into the
last rinsing water, us this gives n gloss
to the silk. For tussore silk use bran
wat.-r In place of soap.
A pound of bran should be well
boiled lu two quarts of water, strained
nnd used for both washing and rinsing
water One part of water to three
parts of the bran mixture will be
found about tho right proportion.
How to Launder Summer Dresses.
In tho laundering of tho pretty sum
mer thin dresses, If there Is a generous
handful of salt added to tho luke
warm water in which they aro wash
ed and any of tho pure white soaps
nro used, thero is llttlo doubt Uiat
they will retain their color, especially
If they aro hung at once after tlioy are
wrung out in tho shade, then ironed

CONSERVATION
M LIFE
The Quickest and Surest Way
ol Saving the Trees,
IT IS A NATIONAL ISSUE,
Scientists Declare That Union Drastic
Measures Are Taken to Protect the
Winged Insect Eaters the Country
Will Soon Be Devoid of Vegetation.
if desirable an organized movement
to destroy all trees might be inaugu
rated. Why not?
By having a gang of woodchoppers In
every community, complete destruction
could be wrought in a few years, says
L. (J. Vnlr In the American City.
Kijulp those gangs with shotguns, how
ever, instead of axes, nnd the same end
could be intuitu d quicker and with far
less eflort. If all the birds were killed
not only would the trees perish, hut
also would nil vegetable life that Is on
the land. In n very short time.
It has been stated by various stu
dents of the question and by numerous
scientific men that wo face no issue so
Important ns restoring our native bird''
Further, It lias been variously ostium t
A nUAt'TIFCIj SHADE TREE ALMOST DE
FOLIATED I!Y THE 1IAVA011S OF THE HAD
WOllM. ed by these same men that If some
thing is not done a period of fifteen to
thirty years will see an end to vege
table existence in our country, with a
result more fatal to all animal life than
was the scourge of locusts at one time
a calamity to the ancient Egyptians.
Every park should be filled with the
song of the insectivorous birds and not
merely witli the din and chatter of tho
pestiferous English sparrow. Two
hundred millions of dollars are lost
each year to tho fanners nnd fruit
growers of tho country through the
ravages of Insects. Speaking on the
basis of average alone, that means
that If a farmer raises crops during
tho year which potentially would total
In value $2,000 gross he must actually
pay $200 of that gross return to the
Insects. In other words, one-tenth of
our agricultural wealth Is yearly paid
to meet tho levy made by tho insects
If the state were to levy a 10 per cent
tax what glorious capital it would make
for tho honorable political spellbinders
of the opposing party! Tlio figures giv
en nre taken from statistics furnished
by our United States division of orni
thology. Thero has long been agitation nnd
even an organized movement astir hav
ing in view tho protection of birds.
The idea has been good, tlio work a
noble one and in a degree successful,
and yet in spite of our splendid Au
dubon society of national scope our
peril In this matter Is greater tlian
ever. Wo havo como to the tlmo when
wo must consider birds nnd their value
not from a sentimental side, but from
tlio standpoint of a practical business
proposition. If wo restore our native
birds wo will protect our great natur
al wealth. Hut If we slothfully disre
gard tho matter and wait for our
doom It will come, and come quickly
too, on tho wings of predacious Insects
A new organization called tho "Res

(Jay Toned Satin Smocks Worn With
Separate Skirt.
In line with tho fancy for bright
colored blazer coats, are gay satin
"peasant smocks" of satin, designed
for wear over black satin or voile
skirts. The "peasant smock" may
he of scarlet or bright green satin,
but It Is usually trimmed with pip
ings of black and a tracing of gold
embroidery nlong the lines of piping
which outilno the edge of tho
pcplum nnd open iindernrm seams,
the outer side of the sleeve, tho
sleeve edge and the neck. A black
satin bolt with a gold ornament con
fines tho loose smock at tho waistline.

OK TIIH XHW llhOUSKS.
White satin "shirts" aro quite tho
fad In Paris, and these dressy
"shirts" are worn not only with
skirt suits, but with separate skirts
of 'white sorge, whiprord and mo
hair. Tho "shirt" Is perfectly plain,
hut oh, tlio concentrated smartness
of its severely simple linos! It has
a roomy cut, achieved without gath
ers or plaits anywhere and the arm
holes are huge, dropping well over
the shoulder. Set into these low
armholes without fullness, long,
closo-lltting sleeves reach to tho
wrist. In contrast to the long, tight
sleeves Is a neck arrangement as In
formal and unconventional as a
cow-puncher's loosened shirt-collar.
There Is, In fact, a narrow; straight
collar of the satin attached to the
neck by a narrow collar band, but
as the shirt Is left unbuttoned al
most all the way down the front,
this collar falls back loosely over the
shoulders. In the opening Is a
slightly fulled "undershirt" of flesh
colored chiffon, which covers the
bare throat and chest. Glass but
tons are set down the front of the
shirt and buttonholes are worked on
the edge of one side, a few buttons
being really buttoned, below tho
bust. There is also a row of but
tons and buttonholes on the outer
edge of eacli sleeve. A coquettish
shirt, worn at I.ongehamps recently
with a skirt of white whipcord, a
white hat trimmed with gull's wines!
and buttoned white boots of liuck
skin, attracted a deal of attention.
I'KIMA'MS ADVANCE
IX POPL'IiAK KAVOI5.
Times of Louis XVI Itevlved.
By this time most women have
settled rather definitely in their
own minds what fashions they will
take for their own this summer.
The hurries and unrest of the spring
is over, and now that they know
what they like best of all the dif
fering models offered for considera
tion and havo selected the necessary
gowns for their summer wardrobes,
they are filled with that peace and
serenity which ensues upon work
well done. And is it not a comfort
to feel, also, that one's judgment
has been proved reliable? That with
the tendency to return to the pan
nier we have not been misled into
a mistaken fulness of skirts? For
we still adhero to pronounced slen
derness of silhouette, and even the
panniers, to get a hearing at all,
have had to renounce a too ambi
tious baggluess.
Nevertheless the panniers are not
rejected, and with the limitation
imposed upon them are seen in many
dainty dresses, especially those for
evening wear. In the fall and win
ter models, it is asserted, the pan
nier style of dress, will prevail over
other designs, and material now
deemed Incongruous, will receive
their setting in that fashion. Hut
that is a story yet to be told. Just
now the pcplum seems to bo tho ob
ject of woman's affection. Despite
many predictions to tlio contrary, the
peplutu is iloating high on tho wave
of popularity, and is seen in every
material. Few taffeta dresses will
bo seen without It this summer, it
is said, and In one form or another
it appears on most of the ready
made lace and llngerlo blouses and
gowns for sale In the shops.
On the taffeta dresses tho pcplum
is often outlined with a shirred puff
of the silk similar puff, somewhat
wider, bordering the foot of the
skirt. These puffs or shlrrlngs aro
a revival of a fashion very popular
a general!?!) or more ago when tho
fancy for thorn was carried to such
lengths that skirts wcro often gath
ered from top to too iu repeated
rows of shirting until those who
had no reverence for fashion's god
dess declare they looked like mul
tiplied hoops about a barrel. That
thero may be a tendency to roturn to
these shirred and puffed skirts is
indicated In recent French tnodols,
where tlio fulness of skirt or petti
coat uner tho hip pannier. Is drawn
tightly about tho form of tho wearer
in many rows of gathers.
(iiriTixt; hi i) of Tin: fly.
The house lly should ho killed now
before it can multiply, and ono of
tho first things to do Is to seo that
there aro no breeding places, for If
n lly cannot find a place It will soon
loavo your house. What it likes is
refuso of some kind, and if thero Is
rofuso near your houso which can
not ho removed, sprinkle It every
day with chloride of lime. In ad
dition to this, pour tho following
formula into a soup plate and In tlio
mlddlo put a small ploco of bread:
2 Teaspoons of formalin.
1 Teaspoon of sugar.
, pint of milk.
pint of water.
The Mas will soon bo attracted to
this mixture and destroyod. Aboro
all things, ninko suro that all tho
food In tho houso Is socuroly cover
ed and put everything under Its own
cover.
'Now that tho subject of fly-riddance
has beon taken up so earnest
ly by nil tho health authorities, tho
least that you can possibly do to
help Is to rid your own home of
fllos, for a lly from your houso may
carry death or serious Illness to tho
child across tho street.
