WAYS OF THE WISE SHOPPER
How She Goes About Her Monday
Morning Expedition

Before the wise woman goes on shopping
tour she has a good idea Of just what she is
going to buy. She has devised plan that
will make her money go furthest. She has
read all of the advertisements in tina Sunday
paper, and has found just where she can
buy the best goods for the smallest price.
Before she goes to buy table or any other
article of furniture she will have measured
the space that 1t will Ill, and she can tell
before the article is SEM home whether 1t
will be too large or loo small, or whether
1t will be just the RICH. size.
She knows that sometimes the best is the
cheapest, but not always. She realizes
that cost Is not the only elemen: that de-
termines the utility Of the article she pur-
chases. The best for her purpose is what
is most appropriate, and it is not good taste
to buy something that by its eXpensiveness
will be out of harmony with the other things
in her house. 1t is well to pay good price
for an article, if !. will always be suitable
and fit. But sometimes the article that will
last lifetime will only be needed for short
time. 1t may be only passing fashion that
will soon vanish to make room for another.
And then, as she will not want TO discard 1t,
the thing will always be there to rasp en-
her nerves and remind her of her extrava-
gance. In such cases a cheaper article and
one more flimsy will answer just as we'll.
She also knows that prices vary at diff
ferent stores, and the fact that 10 cents a
yard more is asked at one shop for a dress
pattern than a another does no. necessarily
Imply that the jearer goods Is the best.
All these things the wise shopper bears in
mind, and she goes forth en- Monday morn

jokes in the papers about foolish women who

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

The sanitary wall papers now come in
most effective and tasteful shades so that
they may be used in the living rooms as
we'll as in the bedrooms. For awhile their
choice of design and coloring was so limit
ed that their use was correspondingly re-
stricted. 1t is probably only question of
time when all wall papers will be sanitary
and capable of being as are now a few,
washed off in good earnest. A novelty seen
at one Of the exclusive shops wasia paper
offered in soft, dull shades that was per-
feet representation of denim. This popu-
lar and dull background for both floors and
walls is highly artistic and effective, and
now that the denim paper has come we may
look for its early popularity.-New York

A physician prescribing for an anaemic
person insisted that thin bread andt butter

that good sweet butter spread upon bread is
more dgestible than the plain cream taken

in its digestion, so it does butter.

ing the monotony Of the outline, this is
scarcely distinguishable, save on close in
spection, for the essence of the charm lies
in the clinging softness of the folds. BY
no means one of the least of the virtues of
these unattached frills is the non-nterfer-
ence with the shoulder line. Would that
more women could be made to realize this
essential! So many lose what would other
wise be perfect contour by thickening
with decorations this very telling part of
their anatomy. If were asked as to what
goes to the making of the elegance of the
greatest number, I should say length of
body and sharp outline Of shoulder.

variety to choose from, SO this should not be
a formidable task.
A late fancy Is the violet fan. In the
stores these are very expensive, but the girl
with quick fingers and artistic eye can
easily manufacture one at home. The
foundation is a white silk or satin fan, with
rather long, plain sticks. Medium silk
violets are chosen and are glued carefully
on. They must not look stiff, but as II
they had fallen carelessly on the fan. The
fan is laid fiat while the violets are fastened
on. and is then pressed with heavy weight
until thoroughly dry. 1t is not intended to
close. Other small flowers, forget-me-nots
or lilies Of the valley, are used in the same
way. More gorgeous are the lace fans, en-
broidered with spangIes, with jeweled sticks.
Fans Of this variety are very costly, and
very frail.
Flies and creeping things are most pop
ular for hairpins. There is huge humble
bee enameled in its own brilliant colors
with jeweled eyes. Dragon flies which
sparkle in the sunlight are very pretty as
fasteners fon dainty summer millinery.
Long green lizards, the bodies studded with
<mera1ds and the eyes of rubies, make costly
and coveted hat pins.
Butterflies, too, come in for good share
Of popularity. Both in genuine and imita-
ton brilliants they are shown in every con-
ceivable variety.
Very chaste are the pins Of huge pearls
rising from a chalice Of finely cut rhine
stones. Jade is novelty for hatpins, and
Il being used extensively. The stone Is con-
sldered talisman against evil.
A cheap, flashy hatpin will spoil the APP
pearance Of the most expensive hat. The
sensible woman buys a solid gold or silver
pin with a handsome and substantial head.
The purchase proves good investment in

coal oil in the soles near the edges. If this
don't stop it, the next best thing is to
have shoemaker drive few wooden pegs

of the best make often creak as much as
cheap shoes. The difficulty comes from
cutting the inner and outer soes. If they
are not exactly the same size they are
likely to creak. Water, hot or cold, is
only temporary remedy, for the shoes are
Just as liable to creak as soon as they get
thoroughly dry."-Washington Evening

course has been confined to the sort of ac-
counts the mistress of home would keep
including careful instruction in writing up
a check book. The opening of the many
banks up town has had the effect of increas-
ing the list of women depositors. Many
fathers now put their daughters on IN al

property which will some day be their own.
Devilled tomatoes make an excellent sum-
mer br 'akfast dish, now that the difficulty
of broiling over a gas fire is solved. Fresh.
firm tomatoes are cut into thick slices and
broiled quickly. Arrange neatly on chop
platter, and pour over them a sauce made
from two tablespeonfuls of olive OIL, good
pinch of white 81 gar, saltspoonful of made
mustard, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and
three tablespoonful of vinegar Let this
boil up quickly in the saucepan. and it is
ready for use These tomatoes may be

A little warm glycerine RUBBED into the
scalp with the fingers after the hair Is
shaken out counteracts the tendency to dry
ness which is common to some heads. After
such treatment there should be persistent
brushing This dryness of the scalp is one
of the most prolific sources of dandruff, and
any treatment that secures some oil to the
hair will have tendency to mitigate the
other evil as well. An excellent wash for
the hair is made of rosemary tea, to which
may be added little whisky.
A cold tapioca pudding Is called tapioca
ice. 1t is useful for the simple summer des-
sert. -Four heapng tablespoonful of tapioca
should be soaked overnight in cold water.

Sweeten this to taste and cover with the

valances for metal bedsteads are made
with heading and usually stretched by
running a tape through the double seam.
The spread that accompanies the valance
IS of the same material-cretonne, or for

To Keep Shoes From Creakine

''Now that the summer is again upon
u.s." explained shoe dealer, 'peoIle are
asking as to how to prevent shoes from
creaking, for, as you know, shoes rarely
ever creak except during exceedingly dry
weather or in the summer time. There are
all kinds of cures for this trouble, but the
simplest, think, is to rub few drops of

fitted across the shoulders with a seam in

with sailor collars of tucked embroidered
muslin, with rows of narrow cream colored

from Paris, and is composed alternately of
fine spotted muslin and Valenciennes inser-
ton. This is cut in some wonderful cir
cular fashion, so that, without any fullness
at the top, the edge falls in the very pref
test, softest folds, and about the shoulders
a sort of point is taken; but, beyond vary

fore long, so many of them are seen and so
often they are not pretty. But like the lit
tie girl with the little curl, nice examples of
them are very nice indeed, and of lace
skirts few effects are more successful. OF
course the ideal skirt of this sort has one or
two lace shawls used as the drapery, but
net and gowns Of ordinary lace are fashion,
able with overskirt cut in points that may
be edged with lace ruffle or tiny ruching.
What would one do without that tiny ruch-
ing? 1t makes or assists in making half the
pretty effects we see this season, the only
drawback of it being that it will soon be-
come common.
The special novelty of some Of the new
thin gowns is tucked chemisette and col.
lar band of white taffeta silk. Turning
back from this on one Of blue and white or
candle is revers collar, fine white embroid-
cred muslin tucked in crosswise groups and
finished on the edge with an applique of
cream guipure. This collar is simply a

to the decorative effect of room, but are
thoroughly useful protection. The valance
keeps the dust from the under side of the
mattress, and the light spread, covering bed
and pillow insures neatness to the bed linen
underneath.

Owing to the character OF the coun1

could be brought into action when the
Cubans opened fire, and the Cuban force
of less than 1000 men could not be
dislodged. Gen. Garcia's command did

fifth day after the fighting began. Off
this day the Spanish columns retreated
