to give a little of the apron effect. Often
the military jacket alone is braided, ana
the skirt tucked; but now and then one
sees a skirt prettily braided to match the
Jacket. Many of these waists can be
bought ready made in really good styles.
Some are tight fitting, with a full piece
loosely stayed in front from chin to waist.
This puffs out las it is intended TO do)
when the jacket is unbuttoned in warm
weather, and relieves the costume from
a negligee air which does not accord with
ones notions of a tailor-made costume.
The skirt dips noticeably in the back.
Some suits of Hussar blue cloth have
brass buttons in the jacket, besides the
Hussaf %braiding.
Rapid preparation, quick relief, and no
blistering. Certainly enough to recon-
mend this new idea of poultiees. NOT
one-half the housewives know how to
make a mustard poultice properly. They
awe a confused idea of using white OF
egg for the mixing to prevent hiisterlns'
of mixing the mustard with various
preparations to keep it from drying out
quickly, and all the other hest meth
DDS that are recommended from time
10 time; but few really know the best
way to quickly relieve pain by this APP
plication without having uncomfortable
after-effects from blistered or tender
skin.
Now just give this plan a trial; it was re-
Gently given me by an experienced nurse
as the newest and best idea of pouitices.
But it is not too new to have been thor
oughly fested:-
Make a paste just thick enough to
spread we'll, by mixing graham hour
with warm or cold water. Never use the
water hot. Take a piece of stout mus
lin the size of the poultice needed, ana
spread thickly with this paste, and then
sprinkle over his the prepared ground
mustard until the whole surface is COW
cred thickly.
Then place a piece of hin muslin
(moistened with warm water) over the
ponltice and apply. The paste will keep
the ~poultice moist for hours. The thin
cloth between the poultice and the flesh
will prevent blistering, unless the skin is
very tender-when two thicknesses of
the muslin may be used, and several
t~hicknesses of cloth laid between the
poultice and the clothing will keep 1t
from soiling the garments.
Then. when it is removed, there will be
no sickness nor dampness about the
clothing nor the flesh, to encourage the
taking eold' which often spoils the good
effect of a mustard poultice.

Schoolgirls frocks are being made up
by the half-dozen now, for later on
everyone will be too busy to attend to
them. Serge and Bingham are the IA
yorite wear. One is not condemned to
wear dark blue. although it is usually be-
coming. an olive serge, storm finished,
will wear as well. The deeper green is
handsome. There is a great difference in
brown serges. A seal brown is the first
choice, the arker the better, for the
golden brown has a tendency to wear
bright yellow, and we all know how dis
tressing it is when a garment fades
bright instead of dull. The chestnut
brown-is another good shade. The porce-
lain and cadet blues always look well on
schoolgirls.
These frocks show little trimming. Oc-
easionally a band Of bright color or sin
gle row of braid is applied at the hem.
The blouse waist is mostly worn. The
sleeves are full.

French dressing, made of four table,

Everything should be well chilled. The

but it's really very good. Strawberrie.;
