then again at the band at the elbow. They are
made long enough to allow the arm to bend.
This gown can be made over regular Prin-
cesse lining, fastened in the back. 1t is cut
out low enough to accommodate the yoke, but
a strap goes over the shoulders. The yoke has
lining of its own of white. The lining can be
all of one piece and of white. That is somewhat
dependent on the style of goods used. Silk
Innings matching the flower are pretty, but
very expensive.
A big bunch of black-eyed Susans is very
pretty on a black hat, particularly lace one.

1t is impossible to revive the skirts founced
to the belt. They are not pretty enough.

Ferns will grow nicely in a window facing

The prettiest rest for the carving knife and
fork is one made of cut glass or of the cheaper
limitations of the fine glass.

The Germans make great variety of sweet
breads or coffee cakes" as they call them.
One kind made of light dough, Is cut.into fat
squares, covered with slices of apples or peaches,
and thickly sprinkled with sugar. These are
baked delicate brown and are delicious.
Another kind, "cherry CAKE" is make after
this recipe: Take half-pound loaf of ordinary
white bread and soak it for an hour in boiling
milk. Stir into it the yolks of six eggs, half
cup each of butter and sugar, three pounds of
ripe cherries, and, lastly, the whites of the
eggs. After stirring all together bake in
moderately hot oven for an hour and half.
Sprinkle sugar over the top and serve either
hot or cold.
The white of an egg added to cream that Is
to be whipped makes it lighter.

"Apple float" is delightful dessert easily
made. Beat the whites Of three eggs stiff, add
four tablespoonful of sugar and pint of apple
sauce Beat these all together until it is stiff, and
then float it on the top of q boiled or steamed
custard.
Two schemes for mending that sound de-
lightfu!ly easy are, nevertheless, recommended
as being neater than the old ways. One is to
mend carpets by putting the patch in with
paste made by dissolving little glue in ordi-
nary flour paste. Have the edges of the hole
and of the patch perfectly smooth and neat.
The other method applies to worn lace cur
tains. Take neat patch, dip it into thin cold
starch, and iron it to the hole in the freshly
laundried curtain, pressing it until it is dry.

The hardy mountaineers of Switzerland,
who climb and walk among the mountains all
day, take for luncheon cheese sandwiches, and
never suffer from exhaustion. For persons en-
gagged in prolonged, active outdoor exercise
these sandwiches are better than meat. One
pound of cheese contains nearly all of the solid
parts of gallon of milk.

Whether ribbons or laces play the most inn
portant part in woman's dress just at present,
is a question rather hard to decide, for both are
used so much, and they are used so often
together. However, ribbon has gained rapidly
this Summer, and is at least formidable rival
All arrangements that are not too fus5y and
awkward are used. The cut shows stylish
effect gained by using black velvet ribbons
with a gray gown. The ribbons are relief to
the otherwise almost plain gown. They are
