A very chic costume for young girl
has just been designed for the daughter of
a provincial millionaire family. who under
the auspices of kindly but impoverished
duchess of unmpeachabe pedigree and un-
assalable social position, is making her
bow to the little circle always ready to
welcome manageable dollars. The gown
is of combined white canvas and blue pique.
The skirt has a front panel in the shape
of a wide box p ait. belted about the figure
by wide band of blue pique buttoned to
each side of the plat. The bodice is fash
Toned with very short bolero opening
above waistcoat of blue and white stripes.
The broad revers are faced with lace and
extended into very narrow points, each
clasped near the extremity by a handsome
button to match the large buttons on the
skirt. A deep cuff faced with white lace
finishes off the fitted sleeve.
Another gown worn by the elegant chap
eron of the little parvenu was intended for
fete wear 1t was Of palest green silk mus
lin, with a skirt and bodice falling open
in loose plaits to show insertions of broad
pieces of lace. A deep yoke of lace and
sleeves with deep putfs of white chiffon at
the wrist We're further touches of white.
The wide girdle was of the green silk mus

When the year of infancy Is past and
babys nails may safely be given up to the
scissors, care must be taken not to cut
them on Sunday or a Friday. Friday. of
course, is an unlucky day, and as for Sun
day, the old rhyme says:
Better child had ne'er been born
Ihan cut his nails Sunday morn
ANOTHER variation of the verse runs thus:
Friday hair, Sunday horn
Better that child had ne er been born.
And yet another:
Sunday shavcn Sunday shorn,
Bette hadst thou nee been born.
Or at greater length:
Cut them on Monday, cut them for health;
Cut them Oh Tuesday, cut them for wealth.
Cut them on Wednesday cut them for news:

Crisp, wafer thin bacon will tempt the

complain that it is impossible TO have this
crispness in warm weather.
If the bacon can be made firm in the ice
box or elsewhere and care taken that the
pan is sizzling hot before the Slices are
put in, crispness is insured. Warm flabby
bacon will never cook properly. therefore
the s!icing must be done in a cold place.

Useful Batiste Dresses.
The use of batiste this summer has been
both effective and continued. The better
qualities of the cloth make up into charm

seaside, where the air works havoc with
stiffened materials of the organdie order.
One such toilet worn by a charming act

maker. was of reseda French batiste cover

the jacket was a loose blouse of swiss and

At the lower extremity of each band of in

The sleeves were novelties. Each resem-

dainty costume was built entirely of white
