Another remedy Of which one may
feel quite certain is to brush with a
large paint brush the floor under the
edge of the carpet with a. strong soiu-
ton of corrosive sublimate, the BIZ
chloride of mercury. This should be
prepared as follows.-Four parts (by
weight) of bi-chloide of mercury, one
of chloride Of ammonia. (sal ammoniac)
and fifty parts OF water. The great OBJ
lection. of this remedy is the ~virulency Of
its poison. OF course, with care there
is no danger.
There are many other exterminators,
but not SO sure and rapid in tffeir re-
SUITS. Tarred paper may be used under
the carpets. Naphthaline-tfe crystals
of naphtha-kerosene or gasoline would
also kill the insects if freely used I'M
der the carpets. But there are two OBJ
Elections 10 their use. They are ali. more
or less offensive as to odor: while the
last two, from their infiammable nature.
might do much harm. Kerosene would
surely kill all the insects h it touch
ed. but. ii has a tendency to stain the
Garnet, and ifs persistent odor might be
considered a. serious objection to its use.
And, after all. if one has the patience
to be. thorough in its application. the
steaming process is the safest and sur
est remedy.
Much has been written in derision of the
summer girl. She has been made the
subject of jokes and humorous stories.
She has figured in hundreds of drawings,

oblivious Benedict. She Is inseparable
from a shirt waist, and high stiff collar;
from a leather belt and Oxford ties; from
impressive skirts and an air of nonchal-
anee.
She loves tennis and golf; she can pull
a good oar. and will not. scream at. the
sight of a June bug. She is neither in
love. with love nor with men. but has!
strong hunting instincts, and delights
in uhe chase for. its. own sake. After the

son her summer engagement, made in.
moonlight, rarely survives the blasts of
autumn.
The summer girl Is really a superior

To be sure. she is not the material of

The universal popularity Of shirt waists
has introduced into woman's province one
of the most pleasing accessories of mas
culine toilet-the neck scarf. Besides be-
ing about the only article in a mans
wardrobe which is in any degree pic
turesaue. it is the one which betrays in
d~ivsduality. This summer; to wear with
shirt waists. stocks and chemisette col-
lars. the leading neektie is the club tie.
Tt is a tie which may readily be manu-,
featured at home. as its anatomy is of
the simplest. II consists Of a straight
piece of silk with either Al lining of soft
finished cambria of a simple piece of can
ton flannel half the width of the silk. The
tie is then stitched together down one
side and pulled right side out, finished.
With nearly all kinds and colors of
shirts g black satin or silk tie looks we'll,
but colors are quite as appropriate even
If. not always as stylish. The colered ties
are made Of gingham, percale. pique. silk.
ETC., and can be had in a variety of pret-
ity checks. plaids. stripes and lowered de-
signs. Next. TO the club tie comes the
Windsor. This is a straight silk scarf
some FIVE inches wide which is folded in
four where it goes around the collar and
is tied in a loose bow in front. It has
hemmed edges and the two ends are An
ished in a point. With this exception
the Windsor and the de Joinville are
exactly the same They have the merit
that they can be tied in a four-in-hand
knot or in a bow If the style Of ones
dress requires it.
Handkerchief making is the fad of the
summer, and the dolly has been aban-
doned while every girl who is at all up
to-date is applying the little spare time
she has between bicycling and golfng
and. other sports in coneocting the dainti-
est of trifes from the finest linens and
eces. The materials consist of yards and
yards of the most delicate real valen-
ciennes Insertion and edging, to be whip
ped: with the finest thread. about tiny
center pieces of cobwebby French linen.
The enter pieces, no bigger than the
palm of a very small hand, are cnt in a
variety Of quaint forms. fve-pointed stars,
diamonds. triangular shapes. hearts ami

many as eight and ten rows Of the in

times the center is taken out and lace

itation is added when one intends to pre-
sent the handkerchief as a bridal gift,
for his recently become a popular GUS
