ployed to make her the consu inmate
success she undoubtedly is, those who
are are entertained by reading of her
adventures, exploits, fads and ward
robe, the young men whom she
makes happy for a brief season,
should rise up and call her blessed.
while to her researches as a natural
list the scientific world owes a debt
hardly to be paid.
But the summer girl of "a is begin
ming to look rather wilted. There
has been no break in the outdoor life
which she becomes SO well, and the
cool, rainy days of necessary seclus-
ion have been lacking for her repair.
She has worn all her wash dresses,
and her assortment Of white canvas
shoes is running low, but still the
temptation to seem if not to be, cool
and crisp, is strong within her, and
she refuses to don less summerish at
tire. For how could she be the sum-
mer grip such as the papers picture
her otherwise3 Whether she sits on
the rocks or rides a bike or strolls
along the beach or gets up small
dance in the hotel parlor or comes to
town for an ice cream soda, she must
be model of daintiness, and live up
to what the world considers type of
season and girlhood.

If you are on fishing bent when off
on your vacation you must provide
yourself with a lindsey-woolsey skirt
with nickerbockers to match. Every
article of under wear mast be wooden
and the boots must be hob-nailed, as
they will cling to the moss covered
boulders and logs. An easy Nor
folk jacket, overfowing with pockets
a chatelaine bag holding compass and
fishing tackle, soft felt crush hat,
and the fisherwoman is prepared for
all emergencies.

There are two words in our Ian
guage which hate, they are ''female"
and "feline.' do not allow myself
to be called female and l do not
suffer my cat to be called feline
True, I am, in nice, nasty, exact
sense, female along with disgusting
lower animals of the same sex; and
my cat is feline, as also are the ra-
pacious lion, the murderous tiger and
treacheious leopard. But these epi-
thets are degrading, and we revolt
againt them. Call me a woman please
and my cat cat; SO shall you most
surely please my gentle, loyal COM
panionable friend and her indulgent
mistress.
Pull down the lace curtains, port
iers and lambrequins and put away
the scarfs and tableclothes. They
harbor germ life, invite dust and
obstruct the free circulation of air
necessary to a we'll ventilated apart
ment
If hardwood, willow or ratten furni
ture is unattainable, send the stuffed
sofa and chairs into the yard to be
whipped and whisked clean, and
cover them with white paper muslin.
If the edge is turned in and closely
set with pins, these covers will fully
repay the trouble. In small families
unblessed by rollicking little folks
cheesecloth covers have been known
to wear all summer.

Meats are heat producing and the
very worst of all the summer foods.
The system Graves fats, but the
butcher shop is not the only source of
supply. Melted butter on vegetables,
rice, hominy and fish, ice-hardened
butter on toast or we'll baked bread,
oil on salads, bananas, apples, pota-
toes, parsnips and eggplant fried in
boiling fat: and sweet cream and rich
milk are sufficiently oily to satisfy ma
ture and delight the taste.

Soups are stimulating, not nourish-
ing, as many suppose. Those we'll
patrons who provide hot
soup for the poor in winter increase
the hunger they mean to allay. Soup
fires up the system and excites the flow
Of gastric juices. This is desirable
In cold weather, but tax instead of
a benefit when the temperature ls at
fever heat.
