New potatoes are the best baked.
A very little sugar added to tomatoes,

will improve them. j
Turnips will cook more quickly when
cut into hin slices-otherwise they will
need to cook a long time.
Caulihower should be tied in a net to
prevent boiling to pieces.
Summer squash should be steamed and
not boiled.
Put a piece of bread the size of an egg
! into a cheese cloth bag and drop into a
pot of boiling greens to absorb the odor.
A little pinch of cayenne dropped into
boiling cabbage. green beans. onions,
etc. will lessen the disagreeable odor.
All dried leguminous vegetables, such
as dried beans, peas. etc, should be put
on in cold water, and when they reach
| the boiling point should be allowed to
simmer until done.
Between the brows offensive hairs ap-

ton for these biemishes. TIL preserip-

chloroform and t~incture of aconite root.

women. Another sleeve commonly used

costumes. One seen recently was of mill
tary blue cloth and dark blu panne- IN
serted in the cloth bolero was a small
bolero of panne finished by an embroidery
of blu braid. The sleeves were of cloth,
with panne caps. the only panne on the
skirt being the pocket pieces on the
side seams. A black panne. dotted with
white. was also used as the trimming
on a black cloth costume. The skirt has
a tunic overdress, opened in front and
trimmed with a band of panne. The
revers and the caps to the sleeves were
of panre. and there was a trimming of
small crystal buttons in rows of three.
Hortensia blue is one of the new shades
that is equally pretty in cloth, silk or
mousseline de sole. A charming effect is
gained by a combination of this color and
pale. pink.
One can scarcely have enough of "old
waists" as the dressmakers call a bodice
which has no skirt to match. Very good
effects are produced by having a number
of pretty waists to be worn with a dark
silk skirt or with one of black lace or
grenadine. Toilets seem to multiply In
definitely with but a fraction of the ex-
pense attendant on the complete suit. A
new idea is to make a cool waist lining OF
white lawn, and to everlay it with lengths
of fancy ribbon, either stitched together
or arranged alternately with intermitthlg
band of black velvet ribbon, or of white
lace insertion. The blurred and Powered
ribbons are delightful used in, this way.
Sometimes the ribbons are cat-stitched
together with pink, blue or black saddler's
silk, otherwise they are Joined on the Nat.
For dinner of for a summer afternoon
or evening toilet these ribbon bodices are
most appropriate. They have the stamp
OF fashion. and as they are a novelty it
will probably be a long time before they
become commonplace, which is the death
blow to any prevailing mode in the eyes
of a woman of fashion.

One of the fads of the year is the trim
ming of hats with pigeons, says "Harpers
Bazaar, The entire bird is taken. spread
| out fiat, the neck thrust through a rhine
stone ring, and tucked down in a most
extraordinary fashion, while the feet and
wings are left o~utspread. The claws are
there-indeed, everything is absolutely
perfect. This bird is generally seen on
the hats worn down over the face. 1T is
used a great deal on the hats of shirred
black mousseIine de sole, or one the soft
black hats with the shirred mousseline de
| sole brim. The gray and white of the
pigeon looks very well against the black.
IT is of course a most useful style of hat,
for there is nothing to be injured by wind
or weather, but it is just a trifie startling.
and certainly not of a style becoming to
everybody.
Al conspicuous feature OF the summer

very much like those which the bellies of
General Washington's day used to wear
with their thin t~arlatan muslin frecAs
over a century ago. These bertflas are
made of light figured silk. grass linen,
| dotted swiss and ~ergandie, trimmed with
narrow ruffles. Very often the ruffles are
made more beautiful by the addition of
! frills of lace and narrow ribbon sewed
upon them. Some of these dress decora-
