termed a popular one, although seyer-

instrument was one Of great power.

The peignoir of white muslin, cream

quote the famous phrase of the hair

which had become common to al

Hot weather TIPS.

Linens should be placed wherever II
is possible for the hot months. Mat
tings on the floors and linen covers on
the furniture will lower the tempera-
ture several degrees. 1t is also well to
place rack in some obscure place in
each room, in which several fans may
be kept. Do not depend on the fans in
one room for those who need them in
another apartment, but have fans in
sufficient quantity so that searching
for one may be avoided AS nearly as
possible put all upholstered furniture
out Of the living rooms and use rat
tan or willow furniture for the hot
weather.

ViAnds That Are Appropriate For thS
Summer Fare,
Berries and fruits should be used as
frequently as possible, both in the raw
state and in made desserts. Many de-
llciOus dishes may be made from
strawberries, and every housewife
should lay in a good supply of pre-
served and canned Strawberries for
future use. Strawberry shortcake may
be made In various ways.
One Of the most delicious desserts
may be made as follows, and is espe-
cially tasty to use with a cold supper:
Make threelayerso of cup cake from the
recipe calling for one cup of butter,
two cups OF sugar, three cups of -four
and five eggs, with one teaspOonful OF
baking powder, Bake In layers and
stand aside until cool While the cake
is baking put to soak in two table
spOonfuls of water one even teaspoon
ful of gelatine. Let this soak until
we'll dissolved. Beat the whites of
four eggs until very light and stiff
partly whipped. Sweeten to taste
and flavor with vanilla or little cur
rant jelly. When the cakes are cold
put in a thick layer of the egg over
the top and place over 1t a number of
strawberries or blackberries. Place
the second layer of cake on top and
over 1t place another lot of berries, the
white of egg to be thickly spread over
the berries. Put the third layer OF
cake over this and sprinkle we'll with
pulverized sugar
The cakes for this dessert may be
made in the morning and the straw
berries and white of egg added just
before you are ready to use it. The
cake is always richer after 1t has had
time to soak little.
A cake that is perfectly dry and al
most tasteless If eaten soon after it
is baked will be rich and delicious the
following morning If it has been kept
carefully from the air in tin box af-
ter 1t has become quite cold.
Small tarts are most delicious IL
made from rich pastry and filled after
they are baked with strawberry pre-
serves. Raspberrles are particularly
good when used In this way.
ROly.poly made from either pre-
served raspberries, blackberries or
peaches is delicious and will many
times fill in when otherwise the dinner
would be a plain one.
One should always be prepared for
unexpected happenings, such as the
unlocked for arrival of guests or some
stOppage in the household machinery.
Prepare a shelf in some cool, dark
closet and during the fruit season
stock the shelf with dellcacles for the
long winter months. This may be
done little at time, so that the la
Dor will not be felt. - Philadelphia

Bait traps with sunflower seeds and
rats and mice win soon disappear.
Don't fancy salt and pepper synony-
nous with seasoning. There are 9TH
ers.
China decorated in green tints shad-
ing from olive to malachite is much in
favor.
Stale, withered or wllted vegetable
are very unhealthful and should never
be used.
Ordinary glass fruit jars are an i'm.
provement ON tin cans as receptacles
for tea and coffee.
A cupful Of cold boiled rice added
to any breakfast muffin mixture or
pancake batter adds a very agreeable
touch Of variety.
Alcohol is one of the best agencies
for cleaning gilded picture frames,
and should be lightly applied with a
wooden tooth pick.
Bamboo furniture is best cleaned
with a small brush dipped in warm
water and salt. The same treatment
is effective with Japanese and Indian
mattings.
To remove mlldew or stains of any
kind from leather nothing equals
little pure vaseline. 1t should be
rubbed into the leather until quite abb

For nraster or miss baby.

Exquisite hand work marks the

whether in co-called "lOas" or Short

An embroidered hounco is no longer

Rows of tucks, a deep hcm or come
