WASH SILK DRESSES.
Comfortable ana Sensible aowap
Tor the Summer
SEASON

The most comfortable sensible
dresses for summer wear Tor little
girls are made Of a good quality Of
wash silk Of either dark Or light pat-
tern as occasion demands. They win
satWesr lawn and gingham twice
over, besides being always cooler and
mice" looking. They do not require
any IabOrious starched ironing, which
rots and fades other wash goods so
badly. They can be washed out 81 q
basin Of cold water with soap and be
dry enough to iron in half an hour
says Ladies' World. Put your iron on
the gas OF oil stove when the dress is
hung up to dry and they viii be ready
together. They r better made as
slips for ordinary wear with gimps,
as these can be changed for a fresh
one before the slip itself needs wash
ing. It is the under part of the sleeve
that shows soils first, SO with a fresh
gimp the little lady is good as new.
When it is extremely hot the gimp
may be dispensed with. If something
more elaborate is desired for special
occasions, get a dainty, light colored
pattern, allow for as deep a hem as
you want and hemstitch neatly. Put
two or three rows Of ~valenciennes in
sertion round the skirt. Hemstitch any
rufles used about the shoulders and
trim with a valenciennes edge. Soft
ribbon bows of various tints for differ
ent occasions may be used appropri-
ately, and they may be removed when
the dress is to be washed. Make the
dress Of a simple design; the hem
stitching and lace win give it the air
you desire, and you win have a dressy
little affair that will be easily
cleansed and look much better each
time, and the little one viii not feel
SO dressed up as to rob her Of an
pleasure, as is apt to be the case'with
stiff, starched fril1s and skirts that
saw and rattle. Everything consid-
cred, the wash silk of good quality
and pattern is the cheapest.
For baby's first dresses slips Of
white India silk are preferable to any
other material for their softness, and
they do not yellow with the constant
cleansing required. The silk pos
sesses an electrical quality that reacts
~favorably; in fact all our ~undergar-
ments should be Of pure silk. Learn
to knit the first little shirts you need
from white spool silk. It is very sim
pie and they viii not wear out as
those you buy. Knit them scanned
and they will always ft snugly, and
make the little socks the same.

Put three cupfuls of water and ia
cupfuls of sugar in a smooth saucepan
and boil five minutes; add the juice Of
one lemon and two oranges, and a lit
tie Of the grated rind Of each, and one
cupful of sifted banana pulp. Scrape
off all the stringy fbers from the
bananas before sitting. Beat this
strip and fruit mixture till cold, then
stir in three cupfuls of whipped cream,
measured after whipping, or the whites
OF three eggs beaten stiff, if you have
no cream. Add one-half cupful Of
sherry, if you approve, but it is deli
cious without it, as the banana has a
distinctive flavor. Freeze till soft, like
mush, using equal parts of ice and salt.
Serve in frappe glasses.-Ladies' World.

A Great Deal Toe Much Ceremony
Sometimes Exists Between Hus-
band and wife.

The stateliness with which husband
and wife frequently address each other
in the presence of strangers is some-
times amusing and often absurd, says
an exchange. The wife calls her hus-
band "Mr. Jones;' the husband speaks
to his wife as "Mrs. Jones'" or moth
err" It never seems to strike either
that it might be proper to speak to
each other as "John" or "Alice." Said
a quiet little woman to her daughter
the other day.. 81 just couldn't call
your father Charlie. It wouldn't be re-
spectful. I never did in my life, and I
certainly wouldn't now, when you are
all grown"
"But what did yOR call him when you
were engaged?" persisted her inquis-
itor. "You surely didn't go around
then calling each other Mr.. Jones and
Miss Smith"
"We didn't always" replied the lit
tie woman, evasively, "but 1 liked to
give him his title even then-it's more
respectful, much more respectful"
'"I'd rather have more affection and
less respect" said the daughter, re-
belliously. "It doesn't sound as if you.
had anything but a bowling acquaint-
nee with him when you say mister all
the time. I'm going to call my hus-
band Fritz whether it's has name or
not, it has such a jolly air"
And the average married couple of
this day and age, with a fine disregard
for respect and old-fashioned courtesy,
usually call each other by a nickname
of varying degrees Of beauty, and
which oftentimes has a remote connec-
tion with the one given them in bap-
tism. But, after all, one likes this way
better than the stir conventionality
which led a woman all through a mar
ried life of 80 or 40 years to address her
liege lord as Mr.. Smith or Jones or
Brown, just as though he were verify
her master and she were living in medi-
eval times when exaggerated Politeness
marked the intercourse between men
and women.

structions from Chairman Jones OF
the democratic national committee
which are as follows:
"In view of the fact that there
were two committees in the Indian

that each side should select two
men and those four select fifth;
that these five men should agree
on some method of recognizing
the party in the Indian Territory
by the selection of new central
committee, both OF the old com.
mittees to be abandoned;t that when
this plan is perfected and submit.
ted to the national committee and
approved by the national commit
tee the reorganization shall take

tee has been so selected then il
will be requested to make a rec

recommendation seems to be fairly |
made-fairly representative of the
wishes Of the democracy-the ma

Dropriety Of filling the vacancy by

rested.
