The woman who gives a birthday gift
: this autumn will want TO give an UNI
brella. The woman who receives the gift

showing is so thoroughly delightful.
II you are choosing one and want {
fashionable umbrella at reasonable price
look. among the tinted wood sticks.
With the exception Of the enchanting
handles which jewelers. have put forth
these tinted wood affairs are the smartest
of the season. There is simply no deserib.
ing them. You must look at them fol-
yourself.
Be sure, by the way, to select one Ii
which the silk matches the predominant
tone of the wood or combines effectively
with it.
The Dresden knob and other china knob
are out this year. Silver knobs. bars.
etc. are still used, but rather less than
last season. %serpents, lizards and animal
head appear less frequently also.
Rough wood handles studded at random
with little globules of silver half the size
of a pea make another line OF odd sticks.
Amethyst caboehons set in silver knobs
are very new and clever. Turquoise
cabochons embedded in a small gold ball
are wonderfully lovely. but out of the
reach Of most purchasers.
Then, there are zone and ivory, cut
tinged and tinted in various ways which
make delightful andes.
Onyx combines delightfully."- with gold
and silver in a number of the very newest
and other transparent minerals are equal
~ charming mounted in the same way.
That a womani hat never blows off is
the tradition. That under no circum-
stances could it blow off, skewered to
the hair as it is by deftly hidden pins,
is no less a fact. The following fashion,
therefore, would seem to have no rhyme
or reason. The mode, nevertheless, adj
mits of no denial. Were it the idea for
men to wear chains to their h~eadgear it
would seem appropriate. But instead of
men it is woman that must do this.
Tie hat of the girl at the resorts now
has a tiny gold chain. 1t is so slender
that it seems little more than a flny
thread of gold, and its inks must show
the highest degree of workmanship. Both
on the brim and on the waist of the wear
er's frock this chain is secured by small
jeweled pins. These must be unobtrusive
and the entire erect dainty, like the
chain.
Thus she presents a novel appearance
as she trips along country roads Her
hat cannot possibly blow off. cannot
move an inch and the chain is quite use
less, but, all said and done, it is pretty
and effective.

There is much diversity of opinion
among physicians as to beef tea. Many
claim that the pure juice of uncooked
beef is more strengthening than beef tea.
In using the pure Juice it viii be found
that the juices of two pounds of beef a
day will not be too much. A medium dose
is two teaspoonfuls at a time, two hours
apart. The beef must be of a good quail
ity, cut across the grain to get the juices
and singed over the fire. An ordinary
frying pan is excellent for this. SINCE

as good as any is the lemon squeezer,
where the juice runs out into a groove
The juice should be extracted fresh ev-

The late Kate Field, the clever writer,
once addressed some remarks to a girl
graduate, which are especially timely at
this season. To be sure, they are to be
taken with a grain of salt, but they are
none the less valuable and suggestive
Dear graduates, cooking is the alpha-
bet of your happiness. ! do not hesitate
to affirm that this republic, great as her
necessities are in many directions, needs
cooks more thar all else. The salvation
of the national stomach depends upon
them. We are a nation of d~yspeptics be-
cause we eat the wrong foods. badly
We are dyspeptie because our women
don't know the rudinents of their bust
ness, and resign their kitchen into the
hands of incompetent servants, of whom
they are afraid. Be cooks first, and any
thing you please afterwards. On you
posterity waits"

A dietetic teacher advises elderly people
to abstain from the use of stimulating
