HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

ScnsOnGblc Suggestions for the
NoESckeeEer.
Flowers provided for bridal parties
and also those used by women in even
ing costume this season are again de
scribed as made bouquets, but in no
way do they resemble the old-time bou,
4uets. These were pyumid-shaped
n.asses of flowers, each blossom so
llosely packed in place that its beauty
was lost. The new bouquets have flow
srs on one side only, so grouped us to
show each individual blossom and give
II graceful but careless arrangement OF
them. These one-sided bouquets have
The advantage of being lighter and less
clumsy to manage than the old style.
The wearer may hold one of them close
to her gown without being in constant
fear of crushing the blossoms. Another
good point is that smaller number OF
flowers is required, thus making the
expense much less.
If women staying at seashore resorts
will spend part of their idle time in
collecting variety of shells, they may
utilize them in he fall fora unique door
drupery. Fasten the shells thickly on
fish netting, then drape the netting over
door casing and let it hang down at
the sides. The shell-trimmed netting
also makes an attractive portiere by
lining-it with light shade of sea green
silk-finished material.

clcansed In clear water and then soaked
short time in water almost black with
bluing. it will brighten in color when
dried. Spread the wet moss upon pa
pers or an old tray and let it dry in
the air, but not where the sun will
strike it.
One of the best cosmetics for bicycle
riders or persons upon the water is
fresh cucumber juice. This will aid in
keeping the skin of the face soft and
smooth. To extract the juice from Il
cucumber, first peel it, and then cut 1t
into thick slices and press the juice out
with a lemon squeeZer. A simple and
harmless remedy for sunburn is to
battle the face in buttermilk.
In making bags or cases for silver
ware an unbleached material should be
employed. Sulphur is generally used in
the bleaching processes, and it tends to
blacken and tarnish silver. Rubber in
any form is another thing that should
never be kept near silverware. Silver
is best wrapped in blue, white, or pink
soft tissue paper, and unbleached cot
ton flannel bags.
Peanuts may be baked and served as
a vegetable. Remove the skins from
the meats and put one cupful into an
carthen baking dish. Pour over them
two pints of boiling water, cover the
dish with plate, and place it in mod
erately cool oven and bake from four
to five hours, or until the nuts are ten
der. When the nuts are partly cooked
season them with salt and stir among
them teaspoonful of butter.-N. Y.

nate frills of green and white gauze rib
bon, headed with band of green en-
broidered gauZe. The fronts of the
gauze embroidered in green and black
and open upon vest of plated white
chiffon. Tight coat sleeves are used
with ruffles of the silk carried about the
armholes and finished with frillings of
gauzy ribbon. A white Leghorn hat is
to be worn with gariands of roses and
heavy dark green foliage.
The indications are that street dresses
for the autumn will be longer than for
several seasons. There has been revo-
luton in London in this particular.
Last spring walking skirts were much
shorter there than here. but now trains
are talked about seriously. A somewhat
heavier dress than those before de-
scribed is of soft creamy brown cloth
with skirt filings of silk of a somewhat
darker shade. The full bodice is ar
ranged with three ruches of ecru chit
fon set across from shoulder to shout
der with up and down plaits of the silk
below. There are rather tight ruched
sleeves. This dress is long enough to
lie on the ground behind.
The vividness of August colors is mod
flied for later wear. Dark blue and
green will be much in vogue in Sep
TENDER. Another combination to be
continued in favor is black and white
g,ace, with either green or light blue
giace at the waist. Reds that tone to
pink and mauves that approach to red
will remain among the best worn
shades The newest reds for autumn
are glowingly brilliant. but the tints
are yet soft and not trying.
Comparatively light silks will be worn
later than usual this season. judging
from present indications. With them

planning a vigorous campaign. AT

New York.-The Casino hops at New
port are much more brilliant than
earlier in the season and are bringing
out the handsomest evening dresses
seen this summer. Mrs. John II. Drexel,
who is one of the most beautiful of the
younger matrons, appeared the other
night in olive green tulle trimmed with
violets lznotted with cream-colored rib
bons. Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll whose
gowns are almost invariably artistic in
design, wore pale yellow satin with
sequin embroidery on bodice and skirt
seams. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.,
was dressed in white satin embroidered
with small bouquets of lilies of the val
ley eXquisitely worked. Mrs. Calvin
Brice wore black tulle embroidered in
silver; Tome dark red roses on the
bodice gave touch of color to this very
becoming toilette. One of her daugh-
ters wore rose-colored satin with trim
mings of pink embroidered chiffon.
Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Jr.'s, costume was
pale blue satin with costly lace decora-
tons. Miss Edith Cushing was gowned
in pink embroidered crepe de chine
edged with quaint silver bordering. 1t
was noticeable that most of these but
terfy gowns were cut with square decol
1etage and that the skirts were even
more airily befounced than is usual
with afternoon dresses.
Avery successful costume for country
wear in early September is of French
gray silk with triple rows of black vel
vet ribbon running around the skirt at
intervals. Each row is caught with
tiny steel buckle. The folded bodice
opens over an ivory satin waistcoat
with application of guipure lace and
narrow black velvet, and this in turn is
cut to reveal an undervest of folded
orange-colored chiffon. A big black hat
completes this toilette, and is trimmed
with roses and white ospreys.
Another smart gray dress just put in
commission is of China silk scattered
over with pink rosebuds. The basque

Anything that will destroy the all
powerful and ubiquitous microbe
should be gladly welcomed, and when
the agent comes in the pleasant form of
perfume it is certainly the more ac-
ceptable. We now find frem expert
ments that are said to have been made
with the perfumes of flowers that by
means of them many species of mi
crcIbes are easily destroyed. The odor
of cloves has been known to destroy
these minute creatures in IS minutes,
cinnamon will kill some species in 10
minutes, thyme is IS. In As minutes
common wild vcrbena is found etTec-
tive, while the cdor of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms of
microbes in 50 minutes. The essence of
cinnamon is said to destroy the typhoid
fever microbe in ~ minutes, and is
recorded as the most effective of all
odors as an antiseptic. 1t is now be-
lieved that flowers which are found in
Egyptian mummies We're placed there
more for their antiseptic properties
than as mere ornaments or elements in
sentimental work. If perfumes are so
singularly efficacious as this, then the
Hover farmer must be a fortunate per-
son and his life healthy one.

bodice is arranged with epaulettes and
yoke pieces of string-colored lace. 1t is
worn with large white Leghorn hat,
with sprays of roses and soft pufings
OF white chiffon.
Still third costume of the same color
is travelling dress not yet quite fin
ished for a young girl who will be
September bride. The material is pale
gray mohair, patterned infinitely with
crossing lines of gray satin and azure
blue. The top of the skirt is completed
with a folding belt and wide loops of
blue caught with filagree silver discs.
The bodice is of sky blue chiffon, ac-
Gordon plated and having a loose bib
arrangement of fine cream applique.
The toque to match is trimmed with
harebells and silver-colored chiffon,
But September will not offer us gray
days entirely. A country club break
fast at Southampton yesterday brought
out a great deal of blue. One handsome
costume worn by matron who is per-
feet brunette was of royal blue satin
striped with white. Bands of cream ap-
plique bordered the fronts of the bodice,
everything a cream satin frilled vest. A
blue straw toque accompanied this dress
with decorations of white roses.
Quite novel gown worn on the same
occasion was of dark and light blue
foulard, with the skirt made in three
fiounces edged with deep borders of
filmy batiste embroidery in cream and
blue. A simulated underskirt, upor
which it apparently opened in front,
was a panel covered half way up with
batiste ruches, finishing to the waist
with puffings and rows of embroidery
alternately. Blouse waist and sleeves
repeated the treatment of embroidery
and clustered puffings set round and
round. Upon the shoulders were small
epaulettes of plated batiste. The broad
Tuscan hat was trimmed with pink
roses and blue and white chiffon.
The blue streak is continued in the
latest thing for yachting, an eminently
trim, trig gown of princess cut in blue
serge. The bodice opens on the left
under an edge of gold braid twisted in
anchors and chains, and this decoration
is continued to the bottom of the skirt
and again about the hem. a triple belt
of gold braid, stiff naval epaulettes on
the shoulders and white yachting cap
with gold band complete the most
severe and the smartest water dress that
has yet appeared.
Street dresses for early autumn wear
are putting in their annual first ap,
pearances. A charming example is of
white brilliantine, cut in princess style
and edged along the opening from
shoulder to ground with a tiny frill OF
dark green ribbons looking out from
under ecru lawn guipure. The same
decoration is carried round the hem and
about the white zouave, which is COW
cred with n jet lattice work, and which
rises at the throat in a Medici collar. A
dark green velvet hat is intended for
this costume and is trimmed with Grim
son roses and white paradise plumes.
Another demi-season walking dress is
of green silk with white figures. The
skirt is finished at the hem with alter

Fleming Luncheon

Mrs. T. ]. Fleming entertained with a
charming luncheon yesterday in her hos
pitable home, 1856 West Thirtieth street,
in honor of Mrs. Mcconnell of Pittsburg,
Pa. The drawing room decorations were
beautiful roses and sweetpeas; those Of
the dining room were pink carnations,
pink satin ribbon, smilax and wild oats
The large round table upon which COW
ers for eight were laid was crossed at
right angles with bands Of the wide
satin ribbon, which was tied at the edge
in generous loops, in which clusters of
oats were caught. Upon handsome
centerpiece. embroidered with pink
flowers, stood Royal Worcester bowl,
holding large cluster of carnations and
oats. At each place was dainty SOU
venir cut-glass vase, also with carna-
tions and oats, and tied with a bow of
the pink ribbon, on one end of which was
the guests name in letters OF gold. After
the delicious menu had been discussed.
