Easy SOAP Making.

The waste grease and fat from the kitchen
can be disposed of to very good advantage
by making it into soap. A country house
wife tells of an economical way of getting
good soap with very little trouble: Fry out
bits Of beef suet and other fat and waste
grease and strain out the oil into stone
pot until you get from four to four and a
half pounds. Put the contents OF pound
box of concentrated lye into stone vessel
and pour three pints of cold water into it;
stir with stick until it dissolves and be-
comes boiling hot; then let it cool till luke,
warm. In the meantime, melt the fat, and
when both I've and grease are barely luke
warm, pour a tiny stream of I've into the
fat, stirring briskly, otherwise it will nos
form soap. In thirty to forty minutes 1t
becomes thick, like honey. Then pour into
a wet vessel and next day cut into bars

CHATONFAsHyON.

To be a daughter of Eve is to crave pretty
| adjoining, and the craving is as universal as
is the daughterhood, no matter how ener-
getically this may be denied by the ''strong
| minded At some period in every woman's
life she has longed for some bright bedeck-
ing, and has made an effort to secure it.
Neither is it to the discredit of the sex that
this is so. 1t is one form Of love for the
| beautiful that links humanity to the Divine;
the bright flower, the gay-tinted songsters,
the green field beneath and the blue sky
| above are witnesses to the high origin of
desire for the beautiful that manifests it.
self in various ways, and women need only
blush for those women who sacrifice moder-
alton and principle at the shrine of fashion.
To write a homilyis hardly in keeping with
the requirements of a fashion article, and
through fear of becoming prolix we turn
to the serious matter of dress, matter
that grows serious as July days begin to
threaten.
The guiding principle in dress should be
a modification of desire for dress in accord
ance with ones surroundings. In the coun-
try or in small towns there is no need for
many dresses; fashions change and gowns
lose their freshness and cannot be worn
with any degree Of satisfaction. AL cannot
| arrange matters of dress as the daughters
of Col. Ingersol are said to do. Living in
large city and moving in select social circles
they are said to have solved the problem of
dress so as to have but two. The one for
state occasions, dinners, receptions and the
like, of white wool or India silk; the other
of gray cloth for street wear. When these
succumb to the ravages Of time they are
simply renewed in like fashion. No desire
for change in color; no anxiety for what is
newest; no searchings for Bargains, but
fine and dainty material, simply made,
seems, after all, to express the highest
ideal Of pure and tender womanhood
Trouble, anxiety and time may be saved
when taste is conformed to such limita-
tons, but there are not many who would
thus willingly subordinate the love of
change and pretty adjoining to the ease Of
mind thus gained.
Adaptability in dress should be of para
mount importance, and it is arrant folly to
expect to adopt successfully tho styles of
one locality in another; for example, agown
that was pronounced "a dream Of beauty"
by London connoisseur would be lily
adapted TO 9 July day in Texas. The gown

istration. The necessity of seeking sub
sistence elsewhere led to the awakening of
latent genius for art. Miss Stevens
work Is remarkable and has received IN
usual recognition. Out Of 1000 pictures
sent from ell sections Of the country to an
art committee in New York, only twenty
were selected as representatives of art in
the United States for the last exhibition of
the Royal institute of painters at Piccadilly,
London. Three of this number were the
work of Miss Stevens. One of the three, a
large design Of purple clematis, received a
diploma and prize, one-eighth of the fifty
prizes of money awarded. Another, a pair
of door panels decorated with an original
design from midsummer Nights Dream, -
received diploma. 1t is phenomenal that
a self-taught artist, who knew nothing of
conventional methods, and who took up the
study when no longer young, should win
international honors

mems seen were made in coffee colored silk
lace, or in black or white lace or Of chiffon.
This white silk lace, fringed with grass, is
to be a feature in fete parasols, and in lieu
of ordinary fringe, silk is cut up into strips
and introduced as trimming. Silk cord is
applied to the edge Of some of the new
parasols, and tassel encircles the handle,
starting from species of fluffy silk ruche,
which looks like feathers. Frills of chif-
fon, embroidered in colored flowers, cover
some of the new kinds, especially the dou-
BILE squares; it remains to be proved if they
will find favor.

lief is also used in the adornment of para

wage-workers and their duties. Concern
