In the warm weather there are certain
light dishes that nay be- utilized for
breakfast. Cornmeal or hominy cro-
quettes, or even rice croquettes, may be
made the day before and simply fried at
serving time. Squash n cucumbers
may be dipped and fried. In the chat

poached eggs.

Fruit that is very acid should not be
served too cold. Powdered sugar and
cream should the fruit course.
In the place of chops or steaks we may
have eggplant, broiled or fried tomatoes,
banned tomatoes, a dainty omelet with
peas, omelet with asparagus tips, or with
parsley, following the fruit. Corn oysters
and corn fritters may also take the place
of meat. Coffee, tea, chocolate n milk
are, of course, in summer, as in winter,
the breakfast beverages"
Don't forget the hybrid perpetual roses
while interested In the care of the bloom
ing varie' .es. They will repay July care
even if sheir wealth of spring blooming
is past. Pruning, watering and fertiliz-
ing during midsummer will cause them
to give an abundance of handsome, fra
grant fall roses.
Powdered hellebore will rid your rose
bushes of green worms, liable to appear
at this time of the year. Apply It in
any convenient way, after watering the
plants, or in the early morning while the
dew is still on them. It is a simple and
easy method Of Kidding the bushes OF
these pests.
The tea roses and other ever-blooming
varieties will not require pruning, Ink
the hardy hybrid varieties, if we are gen.
erous with the blooms during the sum-
mer. Constant cutting of the MOWERS IS
the best encouragement for a continued
blooming. 1t will not do TO let the flow
ers fade and seed pods form If we want
a succession of flowers. Cut the roses
with good long stems to keep the bushes
shapely and take solid satisfaction from
the fact that the more generous we are
with the beautiful summer roses the
more they will bloom and the better for
the thriftiness and shapeliness of the
bushes.
The ordinary house fly does not bite. as
is commonly supposed. Its mouth is SO
constructed that this is impossible. BUT
there are several species of flies, such
as blue-bottles and green-bottles, which
really bite; but these usually requent
stables or places where they can feed
upon carton. The scientific name OF the
common house fly is musca domestica.
The best way to prevent flies is to re-
move their breeding places. which are in
variabIy piles of street sweepings or OF
stable filth.
The duration of the egg state of the
fly is about twenty-four hours; the dura-
ton of the larval state Is five to seven
days. AS each female Lays about l2O egg
and during the summer there may De
thirteen or fourteen generations, their
immense numbers is easily for.
Absolute cleanliness will always result
in a diminution of their numbers. A care
full screening of windows and doors dur
ing the summer months with the supple
mentary use of fly paper are the best
things known to rid one of these pests
House flies have various natural
such as fungus growths on its body, beet
les. the common house centipede, and
parasites, which attack it in the larval
condition.
Many women seem to have given up in
helpless bewilderment before the wonder
full offers of variety in hats, and the bow
as a part of the doing of the hair n the
bead-dress are more and more in rogue.
Women are taking, too, to wearing the
hair high at the back of the head, and
tving it there with a big stiff bow. the
ends of which spread in all directions.
The "tail' of the hair is braided and dou-
bled under, Just escaping the nape of the
neck. The bow hides the awkward
curve caused by gathering tight to the
head the entire thickness of the hair. II
the tail of the hair is not long enough to
hermit the doubled braid, then the locks
are wrapped loosely over the bow SO that
he ends and loops stand up among the
twists of hair. A very little hair thus
makes a very good showing, and the en-
tire effect is very good and cocky and be-
coming to the right girl. The right girl
need not be absolutely pretty either. for
this head-dress belongs to the effective
class that looks so we'll on some kinds of
homely girl that the genuine beauty is
green with envy.
Mrs. s. T. Rorer, the famous cooking
expert, gives this, her ~favorite, receipt
for making tomato ketchup in the August
Ladies Home Journal: Use half a
bushel of sound August tomatoes. Wash
and cut them into pieces. Cook gently
for half an hour. then press through a
sieve. Cook again for one hour; then
add one ounce of ground ginger, one
Of mustard, one gill Of salt, half a pound
OF sugar, and one quart of vinegar. Cook
to the proper consistency; add five drops
Of oil of nutmeg, and the same of cell
cry, or a tablespoonful Of celery seed.
