There is something very dainty about them
and they are neat contrast with the frills

CoIored leather bags are similarly fitted up.
The sleeve question remains unsettled,
and still the dressmake1s con tinue 10 furnish
huge balloons, by courtesy called sleeves,
to their customers who continue to wear
them. Bishop sleeves are "the thing" for
thin wash gowns. They are stylish with
French waists and wide turnover collars.
The seasons skirts are cut in a manner
that the feet are exposed more than custo-
mary. Not an inch has been sacrificed off
its length but the gorings and stiffenings
together cause the skirt to stand out so that
the feet are plainly visible, and neat and at
tractive shoes are necessity. Tan shoes
promise to be not a whit less popular.

over them. Just enough to moisten them.
Work the syrup evenly over them, then throw
them into graduated sugar. See that the
sugar fully covers them, and mix them up
well. Then when dry sift them out and lay
them on even trays to fully dry. If desired
the sugar for some of them may be colored
pink. Some like to add the juice of the Co
coanut to the sugar in the boiling.

inches long by twenty inches wide. At
first thought it seemed much too small but
then it was quite large enough to hold

that was nee ,ssary, for Immediately to the
left OF it occupy portion of the remaining
space over the closets, was what seemed like
another sink provided with a chain and
plug like bath tub. 1t was oblong in
shape, and into this the dishes were put as
soon as they were washed. They were
rinsed by turning the spigot of the hot
water faucet just above
Immediately after rinsing, the plug,
which was in one corner where the bottom
Of the dish receptacle was somewhat lower
than at other points, was removed and the
dishes were dried with less than half the
labor expended on them when they are
rinsed in pan where the water has no
chance to run off. Beyond this was stout
shelf, on which to place the dishes when
dry, and which could he let down out Of the

it is no longer necessary to use the refriger-

The Business Woman.

The business woman must take time to
keep well. II social pleasures encroach on
her resting time, she must give them up.
On the other hand, her anxiety to keep mp
with the fashions or to keep up to date In
the other matters ought not to induce her
to make twins of herself. 1t is much better
to do one woman's work we'll than to make
a failure in two lines. Only in exceedingly
rare instances can woman be at the same
time successful business woman and her
own dressmaker, milliner and housekeeper
Business women ough to take a few leaves
from the experience OF men, who have been
longer in business and therefore know more
about it. They take inrumerabIe little rec
reations and do rot attempt TO crowd all OF
life into ole day. They get more pay,
largely because they have higher standard

Three Excellent Delioacies.

First on the list is rhubarb tapioca which
is made as follows. Put a pint and half
of water, quarter of a pound OF sugar and
the pared rind of a lemoa into o saucepan.

tablespoonful of tapioca and cook gently

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Our Recreation.

AS the June days slowly come and go and
with them the multtudinous cares of mother
hood, housekeeping and living, the question
naturally and unaccOuntably comes to one
and all lam to have vacation?" E3peci-
ally is this true of the mother that has two
or three little tots to care for and it is tor
her that our heart goes out in sympathy and
anxiety. We note as we pass her day by
day that she is growing thin and we wish
we could offer our services and let her go
off to some new place. let her get away from
those four walls of her kitchen let her see
new methods and new faces and come in
contact with the world, for in her little
home she does not have chance to keep
up with the hurrying times and give her
mind the expansion it needs. We have
been OF the opinion, for long time that
the duties of mothers and housekeepers,
should be two distinct lines of life work To
be mother in the proper sense of the word
is to take up all of womans time and when
she has to be both mother and housekeeper
the drain Is too heavy and we do not feel
any hesitancy in saying that we believe
this is the secret of much of the trouble in
the vain effort Of home and family building.
Take business man-can he successfully
enter two totally different lines Of business
and make either of them as complete sue
cess as he can one and give it his entire at
tention It is the same with our women,
they enter their line of business, nome and
family building and they find alas that it is
too great, combined therefore they must ne
glect one or the other and alas that il must
be said-much to her detriment-the family
is usually the sufferer-the little one or ones
are sacrificed that the home may be put in
order and as the home now exists it takes
up much time and worry. How can it be
remedied is an individual question to be an
swered according to our needs. But we
would beseech all who can to take some rec
reation be it ever so little. Mothers must
have recreation or the outcome will be
shattered nerves and ruined health for the
remainder of life. Each mother must ar
range or have arranged for her, recreation
of some kind.

Our Kitchens in Florida,

ooh, it does not matter, what kind of a
kitchen have, just so it is under cover"
remarked an old housekeeper to another not
long since. "Well, am little cranky
On kitchens" was the response and we could
not do otherwise than say "amen" to the
latter's remarks.
Above all places in Florida or in the south
close attention should be paid to the build
irg of the kitchen as well as to the more
important parts of the house.
Some one recently described the arrange
ments of a we'll regulated kitchen and we
offer them for the benefit of those of our
Young readers who are thinking of launch
ing into life for themselves and we would
impress them at the same time with the
thought that, although they may not think
so now, the kitchen will be the room most
in use and for that reason should be made
as comfortable as possible. We have been
in kitchens that were actually no larger
than an immense dry goods box and to
note the inconvenience on all sides made
us almost lose respect for the man of the
house, especially so when he is amply able
to offer the best and completest that can be
found.
The designer had not forgotten woman's
greatest boon the regulation closet'' under
the sink, but it was built some four inches
shallower than the width of the sink, to al
low one to stand in more comfortable posi-
ton when at work. There are several fun
Their advantages in the construction OF the
sink. For one thing it was made to stand
several inches higher than usual, allowing
position more nearly upright when at
work, and consequently enhancing both
comfort and convenience. Although there
seemed to be quite row of closets under
