Many of the pretty dresses OF the
summer are finished at the skirt hem
with three tiny frtills of ribbon tapping
each other just trifle These frills are
newer than those of silk, although they
are not wholly novel; however, they are
made to look SO by the deft manner in
which they are adjusted, and by the del
icacy and beauty of the various two
toned or double-fa ribbons used. If
the frills are made a bit too wide, the
effect is spoiled and they look dowdy
and old style. They must not measure.
all told, more than three and one-half
inches, therefore ribbon a trifle over an
inch wide is the proper selection.
Upon both Paris and London made
evening gowns great use is made of vel
Vet ribbons both wide and narrow. The
three-inch ribbons are used for bre-
telles and to form three stripes over the
moderately full sleeve puffs. This has a
very effective and becoming result, es-
pecially on airy toilets, and long Shout
der loops of the same ribbon fall upon
the tops of the sleeves, and over the
bodice ribbon belt with a large EN-
pire bow is added.
The handsome English serges, mo-
hairs and twils in fine all wool, are the
best and most appropriate selections
for neat stylish gowns for travelling,
and for morning wear on cool days out
OF town. A narrow belt and silver
| buckle, an open jacket and a vest or
blouse complete more than twO-thirds of
the costumes of this description The
| rest are made with Norfolk jackets, and
a seven gore skirt finishes off the hem
| with five rows of machine stitching
| For the summer girl W no elects for SIM
| pie styles, the open tailor made jacket
double-breasted pique vest, and five
yard untrimmed skirt are selected as
being close to the regulation masculine
severity of style. The inevitable plain
ly banded sailor hat is then en- suite
| A choice cold dessert is made from rice
'and gelatine. Take half a cupful of the
| rice, and after washing cover with pint
| OF cold water. Cook slowly half an
| hour. Drain the rice, which should be
white and perfectly dry before adding
| to the gelatine. Soak e-fourth of a
bCx of the gelatine with a quarter of a
cupful of cold water until soft. In the
meanwhile whip one pint of cream and
sweeten with one-half cupful of pow
dered sugar. Dissolve the gelatine over
the boiling teakettle, and when melted,
pour through cheese cloth into the

with red raspberries, pineapple, or pre-
served fruit
One of the most simple and at the
same time most effectual ways in which
to remove a fish bone or other substance
lodged in the throat is, according to the
Medical Times" to give the patient a
pint of milk and forty minutes after
ward an emetic of sulphate of zine.
When the school days are finished and
| the homecoming over, many girls are
| more or less discontented in the home
because there seems no niche for them
to fill. Wise at this time is the mother
who is willing to make a place in the
house for the little would-be reformer,
or the enthusiast who would like to put
| into practice somewhere her ideas of
| home-making, perhaps of housekeeping.
| Let the new ways and the new ideas be
t, led, and show at least some hospital
| ity to them and some sympathy to other
views than your own. A division of
labors and responsibilities is probably a
| happier way of meeting the difficulty
than giving up and over of ones ideas
and domain to the perhaps overZealous
| young woman who should have gained
| tact and sympathy and some knowl-
edge of how to live happily with others
| if her school days have been of any
value. Encourage her to continue her
studies and to use her gifts not only in
| her own home, but for others. The girl
who has plenty Of room for expansion
| in her own home is usually the least
anxious to try homerlaking under an
| other roof
