DIAGRAMS o HAMMOCK MAKING
until you have the length of hammock.
Weave the other side. Have two strong
iron rings to tie the ends in. Cut two
pieces five feet long to goin the holes and
through the ring. Now with pillows in

spondent Of The Country Gentleman, in
which these directions and diagrams
originally appeared, says you can make
a small one for a child with four slaves,
having them run lengthwise Of the
hammock. The first drawing is for q
child's hammock, the second represents
the end of a large hammock, and the dot

A GOOD Place to Store Preserves.
Preserves should have a dark, cool
resting place. A closet originally de-
picted in The Rural New Yorker serves
this purpose admirably. 1t is built, as
shown, beneath the cellar stairway,

A DEVICE FOR o
Afflicted Summer Bcarders and Others
Find 1t Handy In Hot Weather.

Afflicted Summer Boarders and Others
Fin 1t Handy In Hot Weather.
Is there a woman that in boarding
house or summer hotel, in the hottest
Of the "dog days." has not g~roaned in
secret and openly ever the heat of her
room during the long afternoons, when
in negligee she has wanted a nap or a
dolce far niente over the latest novel?
To insure privacy the door must be
kept closed, and then ventilation, even
when there happened to be q transonl,
was very nearly impossible. With the
door open a curtain blowing tE and
fro in the breeze was all but useless.
No remedy for this evil has ever been
suggested. Afflicted summer boarders
have had to endure, and afternoon
1ounging en- deshabille on hot afternoons
has been dreaded.
But now, as the New York Herald
tells, there has been planned a simple
device that will make rooms habitable.
1t is known as tho s1hook and eye" and
in the country houses where it has been
tried works like a charm. It consists
of a thin iron bar, a foot to a foot and
a half in length, with a hook on one
which in it's turn is fastened to a screw
plate. On arriving at her hotel or
boarding house the guest has this screw
plate fastened to the jamb of the door
of her room.
There is the "hook" The 'seye'' is
a simple ring Of iron, also on a screw
plate. This latter is screwed on the OUT
side Of the door, at any point desired,
but at such a place that the hook being
slipped into the eye the door will be
held firmly opened for the space Of a
foot or so. The bar can be made longer
if wanted, its exact length being quite
immaterial. 1t is essential, however,
that ''hock's and .seye,, be screwed in
place five to six feet from the floor.
From this bar a thin curtain is hung,
a filmy, thin curtain, just wide enough
to cover the opening, that passersby
along the halls may not see into the
room. That this curtain may not wav
hither and thither with the breeze it is
made with a hem into which a weight
is poured-sand If the house be at the
seashore, rocks and stonesif it be in the
country.
When the apparatus is In place and
the curtain gently swings from the bar,
q good breeze is coming in oyer the top
that completely ventilates the room and
brings down the temperature most ef-
fectually. AT the same time there Is the
most absolute privacy.

ICE CREAM.

Made Without Eggs or Thiokening Of
Four-The Arr Of Freszing 1t.
An excellent vanilla ice cream with
ont eggs crsthickening of Gours' of any
kind may be made Of a quart Of rich
cream, one cup of milk, n large table,
spoonful Of gelatin, one liberal cup Of
sugar and a tablespoonful Of vanilla.
Soak the gelatin in four tablespoonful
of cold water for two hours. Bring the
milk to the boiling point and stir the
gelatin into the boiling milk, and con-
tinue stirring until it is melted. Strain
the preparation through a fine wire
strainer into the cream, add the vanilla
and the sugar and freeze the mixture at
once.
An excellent chocolate ice cream may
be made of a quart of cream, a pint Of
milk, q large tablespoonful of gelatin,
a cup and q half of sugar, two ounces
Of unsweetened chocolate scraped fine,
and q tablespoonful of vanilla extract.
Soak the gelatin as before, stir it into
a cup of the milk and strain it into the
cream. Stir the scraped chocolate into
the remainder of the milk, which must
also be heated to the boiling point; stir
the preparation of chocolate over the
fire until the chocolate is all melted
and the whole is a smooth, dark mass.
Add the sugar and stir all into the
cream. Add the vanilla and freeze care
fully.
The New York Tribune, which gives
these recipes, also advises not to use too
much salt. Three pints is enough for a
large pailful of cracked or pounded ice.
The ice should be pounded fine. and the
freezer should be packed firmly. Use an
ordinary freezer Of standard quality. If
the cream is frozen too rapidly, it will
be coarse. After packing the freezer
turn the crank for five minutes. Then
open the freezer, remove the beater and
serapa off with a thin bladed knife the
frozen crust of thin cream that covers
the sides Of the can and mix it thor
ougaly with a wooden spoon or spatula,
with the softer cream in the center.
Replaces the beaten and the cover Of the
can and turn the crank again for three
or four minutes, then repeat the opera
tion Of scraping the sides of the freez-
ing can and mixing the unfrozen cream
with the frozen. Work the cream thor
oughly to make it light, Y the can
and turn the crank again, now az rapid
~ as possible. In a few moments the
cream should be ready to pack. It should
remain packed in salt and ice for at least
two hours. 1t is better if kept four or
even six hours before it is eaten.

ally matches the broad collar, which is
often a contrast. For example, on a
blue gown it may be white or red; on
white, blue or red, trimmed with white
braid. Very elegant bathing suits are
made Of black satin, with corded tucks
raining up, apron fashion, on the skirt,
after the prevailing mode in street
dress, and corded around the bodice to
form a yoke.
Some of the most fetching costumes
are cut moderately low in the neck and
made with the simple blouse, finished
around the edge with braid. Flannel
and mohair suits are also made in this
way, which many women with pretty
shoulders prefer, as it does away with
the extra thickness of the collar. In adj
dition to the foregoing illustration and
descriptions Of bathing dress, the New
York Sun affords the interesting infor-
nation That pliable corsets of flannel
stiffened with featherbone are a part Of
the outfit. which improves the figure
very much, and these are usually at
tached to the knickerbockers.
Bathing tights also in all colors are
the welcome substitute for stockings,
and if you want to be very elegant you
should wear long Isle thread gloves
which are made exclusively for bathers.
Stockings or tights in very bright col
ors are to be worn with black and white
suits if is correct.

Anyone with q maclsAs carvrg viii
find q ooccanut q fascinating thing To-
work upon. Cocoannts should always
be carved whole, whether for a goblet,
box or charm TO hang up in the Same
way as ostrich eggs are hung up in the
east. To secure a cocoanut firmly it
should be held in a wise by its extreme
ends. Fastened in this way there is no
fear Of it breaking. no matter how tight
the wise is screwed. The contents being
within, it makes it firm and sclid-so
much 80 that you can use a ne1let TO
the carving tool. AS the ~cocoanut is a
curious shape to secure firmly to the
bench Tho Art Amateur, the source of
the instructions and illustrations here
given, suggests q simple wooden wise,
with round holes ia it's jaws to receive
the extreme ends of the ooooanut. The
wise is clamped or screwed to the bench.
The cocoanut being screwed frrnly in
the wise, it is ready to be rasped with
parts Of the shell are fled away. 1t will
be found quito easy to turn the ~cocoanut
about by loosening the wise. After the
rasping the ~cocoanut should be smoothed
with a smooth file and lastly scraped
with a piece Of window glass.
For practice two simple designs are
given, one for q box, which takes the
form Of the trigger fish. The fms are
carved in black walnut. These are

Bathing Suits and Some of Theirs Original
Accessories This Season.
The annual pageant Of Acknowledged
drcssin thessiSs this year WILDE dis
tinguished by many novelties II all the
models heralded as the latest materialize
on the beach. The patriotic love for the
red, white and blue can assert itself
without limit in this branch of dress.
Red and blue, blue with red trimmings
and red with white are conspicuous ex-
amples Of color in bathing dress which
are very attractive. Red serge or fan
mel suits are trimmed with black white
or blue braid. 1t is the soft, rich shades
which are most desirable, and red is
recommended not alone for the fashion
in color, but also as affording a danger
signal in case the bather wishes to at
tract attention, the red gown making a
very noticeable point of color in the
water. Blue, black and white are quite
as much the fashion as ever, and If the
adjective .sgenteel'' can be applied to
differences in bathing suits black and
blue are perhaps the most desirable.
In materials alpaca, serge, flannel,
silk and satin are in order, but alpaca
or mohair has the lead, because it sheds
the water nicely and does not cling SO
closely t the figure. Any color which
suits the fancy may be chosen, as it
comes in every possible shade.
The ultra fashionable girl is supplied
with several suits in different colors.
Pale green is one of the novel oolors en-
ployed, but a rare exception. OF course
there are varying degrees of elegance in
this department, but the average bath
ing suit is very mrs,h trimmed with
braid in contrasting colors and effect
lively used on bands Of white sewed on
the dark colors. White silk and mohair
suits, trimmed with turquoise blue
braid, are the daintiest of all. Some Of
the suits are braided in fancy designs
on tho front of the blouse bodice and
front breadth Of the skirt, and a few
novelties are embroidered, but the usual
decoration is braid, variously disposed
il runs around the skirt, across the vest
and around the reyers collar. Double
