OF the moment, but / am told by one Of
the makers of the mode that it will quite
go out in the autumn. So do not put It
into cloth. 1t is~ssastonishing how much
cloth is still used. even for the most
e~phemeraf SUMMER things! Etamine,
veflings all those characterless materials,
are instantly given tone and accent by
cloth accessories. Stitched cloth bands
are used for trimming these, and a charm

was given by cloth and gauze. A gown
of thin yelling was made over a transpar-
ent of faille. The revers, the border OF
the tunic, the band around the ruifles'
were all of perforated cloth on gauze-
This pretty basket-work trimming IS
quite easy to make at home, simply by

pattern.
A charming novelty in this seasons

beginning to be seen with the thin gowns.
These ara made of any sort of supple

Nine persons out of ten attribute the
well-known expression, MAN proposes,
but God disposes,'' to the Bible, but it
was the good Thomas a Kempis who said
it in his limitation of Christ says the
stWoman's Home Companion" Another
often-used expression is Comparisons
| are odious.' This is properly, so far as
English literature is concerned, attributed
to john Fortescue, who fourished in the
middle of the fifteenth century. but we
find 1t in Cervantes, Marlowe, Burton and
Herbert, while Haywood has it among
his proverbs. Shakespeare in his Much
Ado About Nothing paraphrased it into
Comparisons are odorous," and in this
form the saying has almost as much cur
rency as in the original. Spare the rod
and spoil the child. is generally thought
to be a text from the Bible. And in sub
tance it is, for King Solomon said, HE
that spareth the rod hatath his SON" but
it IS found in Buffers "Hudibras'' in the
neater form in which it is usually quoted.
One of the very latest of society's fads
is the eating of East Indian dishes. AS
few nave the taste for hot curries and
zardaks, they are INDUCING largely in rice
cooked after the East Indian fashion and
in the HaIwae Badam, a comft of al
mords, which is most delicious but re-
quires more care and attention to prepare
than one can exact from one's cook. 1t
must be absolutely a task performed by
the head of the household.
Following are directions for preparing a
Halwae Badam:-Take two pounds of Jor-
dan almonds, half a pound of loaf sugar,
a teaspoonful of butter and a half pound
of -four Drop the almonds, which are
already shelled, into hot water, and after
a few moments remove them and drop
them into cold water, and then remove
the skins, leaving only the white kernels;
roll them in flour and dry them in a pan
over the fire; when they are well Drowned
shake them in a coarse sieve and loosen
them from the clinging flour, then pound
them to a powder in a mortar. Boil the
sugar to a thick syrup and stir the pull
verified almonds in quickly; flavor with
rose water and pour the mixture in chal-
low tins well buttered. As it begins to
cool cut in little squares.

Shirt waist parties are the latest en-
tertainments among girls who are tired
of golfing, bicycling or swimming. 1t is a
pleasant way to pass either the morn
ing or afternoon with ones girl friends
and has become quite popular at several
well known summer resorts. Chatting,
the needles fly. and one girl is always
delegated to run the machine and do what
stitching seems absolutely necessary. Of
course, each girl brings her own work
bag, which Is often of some dainty silk
drawn in a pouch and carried on her
arm. They resemble so closely opera bags
that one would never imagine thai they
contained emeries. needle-cases. scissors,
thread and even patterns. The waists
are made as plain or as deliberately
as the owner wishes, but she is often
asked to have the color match the confec-
tionery of the day. which the hostess
generally furnishes to the sewing circle.

mills and houses in miniature are mostly
the result Of Dutch art, and Netherland
workers show a daintiness and imagina-

Pretty well every article of furniture has
been thus reproduced, as we'll as grind

wheelbarrows, watering pots and all sorts

by Hawthorne, to many others associated
with such great men as Rubens, Napol-

The mothers who don't now what in

going to have the question settled for
them. Here is an ingenious plan Of a
