style or the grace of which We have pIumed
ourselves, and earned a reputation in all for
eign countries for decades in the past. and
to ape the foreigners jerks, his frantic rush.
and his inability to reverse. You take your
position for a waltz, for instance, and, if
you desire to do as the smart ones are do
ing, you will first give nervous jerk of
your body, and then make frantic rush
round the ballroom. never stopping for an
instant, no matter if your skirt Is torn to
shreds, or what happens That top velocity
and round and round motion is to be kept
up as long as you can stand 1t. Then you
pass out into an open veranda-or step out
on the lawn, take a seat on the chairs in
waiting the damp grass for your foot
stool, and rush in again for your next en-
gagement and so on da capo until the
dance is over.
The navy men have introduced their own
particular idiosyncrasy in the holding OF
their partners right hand. Instead OF the
correct horizontal line. they now draw the
fair hand. clasped in their own. up TO their
coat collars. doubled up like ball, and
there 1t must nestle motionless while the
dance lasts. Some of these men cut quite

Square dances are rushed through at the
same swift pace as the round ones. Ma

claiming them as their sole right, and be-

There are two or three invaluable means
now offered by which a perfectly good but
somewhat demode stuff dress of the past
winter can be coaxed cheerfully again in
to hard service this autumn under a we'll
nigh impenetrable alias. One disguise is
effectively done with velvet, another by
scalloDng wherever that device can be
yentured and third is the adding of
bolero front or whole figaro pocket. If a
skirt is trifle the worse for wear at the
bottom cut it in series of scallops, bind
the edges of the scallops with narrow
band of black velvet, or velvet in the same
tone as the goods, and then permit the re-
freshened border to fall on a straight vel
vet band that artfully appears to be the
bottom of rich underskirt

green or brown cloth left over and you

heavy time yellow lace is the unyarying
choice of the dressmakers. Imitation an

these are prohibityely expensive despite
their aid of mellow richness. and millin-
ers now feel free to say that many of the
most captivating hats and bonnets Will
owe all their splendor to lace frills and
bows and strings.
BY the way, 1t is essential to drop word
here apropos of things most especially as
they relate to bonnets for to wear them or
not to wear them is a sleep destroying
problem to many women who wish their
toilets to express the last sentiment of the

Vegetable Lore.

Our bodies require certain amount of
mineral matter, or nourishing salts, for
health Chalk, iron, phosphorus, natron
are all needed, and they are found in the
best form in fresh vegetables and fruits.
Lettuce is one of the most important of
all. for IL aids the cleansing Of the blood
and refreshes the entire organism It
should not be used with too much vinegar
TO obtain the greatest benefit. Sorrel and
spinach are TO be highly recommended for
enriching the blood, especially in cases
of aenemia Ii should be noted that sor-
rel and spinach ought not to be covered
while cooking, as otherwise the poisonous
matter in the leaves cannot escape. The
value OF asparagus as blood purifier and
agent acting on the kidneys is we'll known.
Beans should be eaten only when they are
young, as when they are old they are DIFF
ficult to digest. The Importance OF mix
ing vegetables with the meat eaten is not
the least important part in the use OF the
latter. They aid the digestion even OF the
meat. Apples are very rich in iron, as are
all OF the fruits and vegetables that have
any red coloriDg matter. Beets when
young and tender are excellent. and it Is
said that black currents are cure for
aenemia in its earlier stages
