Gewn of Henrietta, A vast number of the summer frocks ~—-and especially the soft and sheer woolens—are fashioned with a third piece, this intended to serve as a wrap when occasion requires; but weally worn rather as a finishing touch #0 the toilotte. The material is one wf the new wvellows that are so ex- tremely fashionable in France, and gheir appearance on this side of the water. There is a simple little blouse, wollarless, the throat cut out slightly fn front, and an empiecement of em- ®yroidery serves as a smart finish. The sleeve is nnusually full and puffy, with face flounces spaced between the puffs. The skirt is in a circular cut, smooth over the hips and falling in “soft folds to the ankle, where a circu- ar flounce is applied, beneath the ‘heading of lace and tucks. The peler- 4ne is in cape shape, very full, and «ith shawl-shaped pieces, broad over the shoulders and extending in points A rib- “bon frill finishes this all around, and a big loose bow and long ends of rib- “bon make a sash in the back.—Wash- dngton Times. Neck Fixings. "Twill be a long day ere we dis- ward the elegant influence of the long, straight stole worn with one end #lung over the shoulder. In fur, this /has become almost ubiquitous during “the winter months, and it is so wholly and completely sensible, and has con- ¢rived, Tuthermore, to oust to a little serious extent other much mere im- portant prototypes, than one can but surmise as its continuance under light- «er aspects, such as chiffon and lace— the former fashioned into a wealth of gagued bouillonees. Apparently as defunct as the dodo 4s the feeling for collars to coats, a clear condition that immediately en- wcourages some distinctive extravagan- «ges, such as the above described draped boa. And revers, if they occur at all, are warried low, and usually widen as they descend thus—at least with the fur ©oats, though as the season advances awe shall find, doubtless, this simple meck outline continued down the front #o the waist. And the vest, let it be speedily told, 4s going to be a factor of such glori- fied importance that the brain almost weels before the wealth of variety open to consideration. At the same time the fancy that stands far and far away above its fellows is the “gilet” of old brocade—preferably, if pro- curable, genuinely time-stained—sur- mounted by a cascade jabot of old Zace. Pretty Work Bags. An especially pretty workbag is re- «quired for the girl who takes her fan- «y work away to do on summer piaz- gas. Here is one that is a model of economy and convenience, as well as Jpeanty. well in color si linens; gay cre: | tonnes, nd curtain silks Buy two bamboo embroidery rings sa half yard of ecru canvas or #oulard, figured India curtain silk, or #lowered cretonne, according to one’s «urse. Buy also a half yard of silk or ateen of some light solid color in har- pony for the lining, and then buy four | cards of inch-wide ribbon to match the lining, which one may find for five ents a vard at the department shops. “Phe half yard side of the silk should answer for the width of the bag, and | ithe width of the silk for its depth; mhe proportions being 18 inches wide, 222 inches deep. Lining and outside parts should fit exactly. The two embroidery rings should pach be run into a casing on the 18- sinch sides, while the other two sides ssbould then be neatly finished by turn- ing in the raw edges and slip-stitching them together. Join these edges in- visibly for at least the depth of eight sinches, for in this manner the bag is wmade secure. The handles or two «rings are covered by winding these -with narrow ribbon and tacking it mow and then securely.

Women seem to be showing no judgment regarding the hats which most become them ,judging from the indeed, are ly peculiar sights one sees upon the streets. The small hat has always been a source of real anxiety to wo- men. It is a difficult thing to wear at the best, aad only those well endowed with b ty can ever hope to look pretty under one, Hats have been small before and have been pretty, too, but they never have had such grotesque shapes as now; some are tilted far up at the back, with masses of roses embanked in the hollows; others are turned di- rectly in front, or are of a decided three-cornoredi shape. The wings used this season are indeed beautiful, but they are used most peculiarly at times. They are not left to rest on the hat, but to the merey of the wind or else are resting solely on the hair. Then the colors which predominate in the new gowns are used on the hats, and some of them are not alto- gether becoming to the wearer. There are two decided styles of hats to be in vogue this summer. The other one is the dainty lingerie hat with its many frills of lace and lawn, with many bows of daintily colored ribbons, and its display of the most delicate of rosebuds, which are nestled in among the laces and ribbons. They are the becoming hats of the year, and almost any woman can wear ome without much difficulty. They look extremely dainty with the hair parted in accor- dance with the style now-a-days, and they go well with the lingerie frock. If one wishes to wear a small hat she might have it trimmed becomingly at any rate, even though the style is neglected a trifle. One need not have the hat turned up so high if it is not becoming. Then, too, all of the curves turns not necessary if they take on over-done appearance when donned.’ One would think that and v ana are women would not resort to those modes if they were not becoming. The small sailor, which is almost a complete circle, is quite becoming. It has a wing or two placed artistically, but these do not at any time take the place of the small dress hat. If a small hat is desired one might have a large one copied on a small scale and it would be sure to be becoming.— Newark Advertises, Fashion's Fads and Fancies. Valenciennes lace and heavy em- broidery are hoth vying for first place for trimmings for the sammer frock. Automobile hats of every kind are displayed and they are becoming ex- tremely becoming to the women who don them these days. The open work stocking has gone out and in its place are the sheer gauze affairs, which are ever so much prettier, although of qualities not so lasting. Some of the French style hats are made of cream colored leghorn, and many of them are simply banked with white roses and black and ‘white mes. noti ble change is seen in the I d white seem to and they thing are Hy ver) coming to the av- rage woman Never shoes and hose have had go universal a vogue as this sea- son. Every woman who affects white always includes her footwear in the fad, and nothing prettier nor more summery looking could be found. The white embroidered belts which are for wear with the lingerie waist are one of the prettiest small articles of the season. They come in all col ors and are seen in the newest of shapes and have the latest in belt buckles. For women who do not mind being sunburned, the deep ecru color of pongee is most becoming. In fact one could not be any prettier than when her face is deeply tanned and she wears a costume of this color with accessories to match. Many of the smart women have had their gowns made just to match their complesions when they are tanned. For the Nursery. A plain green cartridge paper is used as the basis of a pretty wall tovering for a nursery. On it are pasted at intervals figures of children of the Kate Greenaway order, cut from a special paper furnished for the purpose. Around the top is a deep frieze of jolly looking cats, looking down over a wall. The idea of past- ing any suitable pictures on a plain green background for a child’s room is worth carrying out. When Dishes Are Hot. Some clever person has devised a really satisfactory holder for taking hold of hot pie plates and pudding pans. It will save fingers from burns and temper correspondingly. It con- sists of three metal prongs bent at such an angle as to form a clutch, just the thing to grasp the edge of a pan firmly. There is absolutely no fear of the holder giving way, and it has a nice long wooden handle, so that the heat of the oven does not come near the hand at all. Buffalo Moths, Red carpets and rugs seem to be particularly attractive to the pesti- ferous buffalo moth. Some test- ed remedy against them should fre- quently be sprinkled under the edges of rues and at the corners of carpeted rooms. The following formula is rec- ommended by an authority in the Delineator: Two ounces of benzine, six ounces of carbolic acid, and three pints of turpentine. Mix well, and label the bottle carefully. Add a cup- ful of this mixture to a basin of water and dip the broecm in it frequently while sweeping. How to Air a Bed. Open the windows, top and bottom. Take off the top clothes one by one and place on two chairs with the seats turned toward the foot of the bed. Beat and shake pillows and place near the window. Remove low- er clothes, one by one, and spread. Turn mattress so that the air has free access to every part by arching it on its two ends; or if it is in two parts set up each part to air. Spread nightdresses near the win dow. If possible leave the door open to flush the room with air. At least ome hour's airing is necessary; each member of the house should attend to this before leaving his or her bed- room, says the Boston Traveler. The warmth of the bed conduces to the free escape of perspiration, little particles of skin rub off, and possibly disease germs with which the occu- pant has come in contact on the pre- vious day. For these reasons a thor- ough airing is required, saturating the room with pure outdoor air and sun- light. When ready to make the bed brush the mattress and dust the bedstead. Turn the mattress from side to side and top to foot on alternate davs so as to equalize pressure and wear. Tuck in the under blanket free from wrinkles. Place the under sheet in the same way if a bolster case is used, otherwise roll the sheet around it. Place the bolster and pillow in position with the hems turned down- ward. In one side of the bed near a wall put the end of the pillow where the fastening comes toward the wall. Put the top sheet on wrong side out, with a good margin at the top. The nar- row hem of the sheets and the mark- ing of the blankets come at the foot of the bed. Tuck in the blankets, leaving the margin and the doubled fold at the foot. Fold the extra length of sheet at the top over the blankets. Put the counterpane on carefully so that it hangs evenly and smooth- ly. Recipes. Caramel Carrots—Scrape small car- rots, boil until tender, then cut into long narrow strips. Roll lightly in sugar to which a little salt has been added, and brown in hot butter or olive oil. When the edges are brown, take out, dust witk pepper and mine- ea parsley and serve.—Washington Star. Baked Turnips—This is another good way to cook turnips. Peel, slice thin and boil fifteen minutes in salt- ed water. Drain, place in a buttered baking dish and pour over them a cup of good clear stock seasoned with salt, pepper, nutmeg and if liked a teaspoonful of sugar. Bake until ten- der, basting often. Serve in a hot dish with the pan gravy, which should be slightly thickened, poured over them. Turnips au Gratin—Turnips should always accompany recast duck or mut. ton. To cook them au gratin, pare and cut into cubes, cover with cold water, put over the fire and cook five minutes, then drain and cover with boiling salted water or white stock and simmer until tender. Make a half pint of good white sauce, using one tablespoonful each of flour and but- ter. Melt the butter without brown: ing, add the flour and as soon as melt- ed a tablespoonful of grated cheese. When it, too, is melted, pour in a cup of milk and stir until the sauce thick- ens. Season with salt and pepper and pour over turnips. Put into a well-buttered gratin dish and, if too dry, add a little more milk. Cover with buttered crumbs and brown in a quick oven. New York City.—Jaunty little ILiton Jackets make notable favorites of the season and are never more attractive than when worn by young girls, This M 4 a a a i wy v CR one is so simple that it involves the least possible labor and skill in the making and at the same time is at- tractive and smart in the extreme. Illustrated it is made of taffeta with bands of the silk, cut bias and edged with tiny braid as finish and serves the purpose of a general wrap, but also staple material, and unless the gown is in essentially a style of the moment it ean be altered to fit next year's re- quirements, even if it cannot be worn exactly as it is. — — Lingerie Blouse With Yoke. The lingerie blouse is the accepted one of the fashionable world. Not alone is it the smartest of all models for the summer, its usefulness is ex- tended through th> entire year and very dainty and charming it is. This one is quite novel in form, showing a yoke that is shaped on original lines and which allows of various treat. ments. In this instance sheer Persian lawn is combined with Valenciennes lace, but all-over embroidery of the material embroidered by hand or ine serted or tucked muslin is quite appro. priate for the yoke, while the banding can be of lace or embroidery or of the material worked with the fancy stitches that always give a distinctive touch. The elbow sleeves are exceeds ingly fashionable and are always pretty, if becoming, but there is a choice allowed between these and the long so that all needs can be suppliea. Both waist and yoke are made with front and back portions. The waist is tucked in groups and joined to the yoke, and the closing is made invisibly at the back. The elbow sleeves are tucked at their lower edges and fin- ished with stylish roll over cuffs.

For the general wrap tat- feta and mohair are perhaps the most fashionable of all materials at this season, but when used for the costume it can be made from anything that may be liked. The jacket back and sleeves, and fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams. The sleeves are loose and in elbow length so that the little gar- ment can be slipped on with perfect ease over any waist that may be worn beneath. For a girl of fourteen years will be required two and one-fourth yards of material twenty-one, two yards twenty- seven, or seven-eighth yard forty- four inches wide, with six yards of banding to trim as illustrated. of is consists the front, The Staple Bargain. The sensible woman uses her reason on these occasions. She knows that it is folly to buy a gown which is already a little out of style. Unless a bargain can be worn at least a part of next season, it is mo bargain at all. One must do a littie looking forward. Is the reign of the pleated skirt beginning to fail? Will the popular broderie Anglaise be worn next year? Is the half-sleeve a fleeting fashion? If so, it is no economy to buy them at this late day. On the other hand, linen is a Guimpes Are Fashionable. The dress without a guimpe or a chemisette is an exception this sea- son. The fashion is greatly to be en- couraged not only for its daintiness and almost universal becomingness, but also for its cooolness. An Outing Hat, There is no prettier outing hat than the roll-brim of soft duck or pique, trimmed with u silk handkerchief and a white bird or wings. AAA AANA AAA AYA AAA SANA SANA AA AANA long ones are made with deep culls and puffed upper portions. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four and one-half yards twenty-one, three and one-half yards twenty-seven, or two and one fourth yards forty-four inches wide, with five-eighth yard of all-over mate- rial and three yards of insertion. Veils Must Match. One has to be very careful about one's veil in these particular days. Pri- marily, it must match the hat, but that is not all. The eccentric shapes of many of the new hase have to be taken into consideration in selecting a veil, The Empire Dress. The quaint lines of the “Empire Dress” are singularly becoming to the slender and youthful figure. They are best made with a detachable tucker. — ENOLD FFAIRS Hous A GERM HINT. Use a few drops of carbolic acid on the damp cloth with which you wipe off the mouthpiece of the telephone, The reason is obvious in this “germ age.” TO REMOVE COFFEE STAINS. A tablespoonful of sal-soda, over which boiling water is poured, is rec. ommended for taking stains off coffee pots. With this treatment no boiling is necessary. A BAG FOR CLIPPINGS. Have a little bag hung on the in. side of the sewing machine frame at the left hand to receive clippings that so quickly accumulate when working at the machine. TO REMOVE A SCORCH STAIN. A slight scorch on a muslin garment will disappear if hung out in the sen- shine. If the scorch’ is dark, wet the surface and lay in the sunshine. Some- times the process has to be repeated several times. A USEFUL KETTLE. An oblong fish kettle of enameled ware should be part of every kitchen outfit. The best iLettles have perfor- ated draincrs with wire handles at the sides, by which the fish can be lifted easily and conveniently. These kettles will be found useful for boiling green corn as well as fish. CARE OF THE BABY. Treat the baby as a tropical plant, advises Good Housekeeping, and do not try to toughen him by taking him out every day. cold enough for a child under two years. Never take him out when the atmosphere is dark and rainy, and keep him in the sunshine and out of the wind as much as possible. Protect the eyes from the sun always with a dark umbrella, ——— DAMP ROOMS. fo ascertain whether or not a room is damp about a couple of pounds of fresh lime should be placed therein after hermetically closing doors and windows. In twenty-four hours it should be weighed, and if the lime has absorbed more than one per cent. of water the room should be considered damp, and classed as unhealthy. The question of the dampuess of dwellings is a frequent cause of dispute between landlord and tenant, and is naturally, solved in the negative by the former. The question can be settled in the fu- ture by the test of the hydration of lime, which will give irrefutable proof of the validity of such complaint. Harlequin Sherbet—Boil one quart of water and one pound of sugar till a sirup is formed. Strain and add one pint of fruit juice and a very little lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and set aside to cool; then freeze. Camelon of Beef—Chop two pounds of veal very fine. Add one-quarter pound of chopped fat salt pork, a little grated nutmeg and one very small onion chopped fine. Beat two eggs and add them to the meat. Season with salt and pepper, pack in a buttered pan, cover with buttered bread crumbs and bake in a moderate oven for one hour, then in a little hotter oven for another hour. Eat cold, sliced thin. Sauce For the Glace—To prepare the sauce for plum pudding glace mix twe egg yolks with one ounce of powdered sugar. Place on a slow stove and stir it briskly. Heat it well, but d¢ not let it boil. Take it from the stove and stir it continually for twelve minutes. Then fold in a pint of wel whipped cream. Before adding the raisins and other fruit to the ice cream let them cook for ten or twelve Tours and mix them thoroughly together, The fruit should also be added the las] minute—after the cream is frozen. Al fresh fruits should be soaked first in a liquid of some kind. if they are packed in ice cream for any length of time This will not be necessary if they are to be stirred in just before serving. Veal Loaf—This is a savory dish af picnics and simple country suppers Mince three pounds of raw, lean veal and a quarter of a pound of the be 1 fat pork. Sprinkle through the ot half an onion, grated fine; half a fea. spoonful of powdered thyme, a s¢ant saltspoonful of powdered sweet mar. joram, the same amount of summer savory, one tablespoonful of salt and a half-teaspoonful of pepper. When the meat is minced and the seasoning added, mix in about two-thirds of a cup of cracker crumbs, half a cup ot veal gravy, the yolk of an egg and the whites of two eggs, well beaten to- gether. Form the whole into a com. pact loaf. Roll it until coated in the two yolks of the eggs left over, and then into sifted cracker or bread crumbs. Set the loaf on a rack in 8 pan, and when it begins to brown pour a cup of boiling water under it and continue the roasting, basting the meat every fifteen minutes and renewing the water as it boils away. It wil} take about two or two and a half hours to roast it thoroughly unless the oven is very hot. Although this veal loat can be served hot, it is usually served cold, cot in thin stices.
