The great majority Of the handsome
new gowns for summer wear are 1T
ted out with sashes.
Linen and pique skirts are still
the popular materials for separate
white skirts for the summer.
Black daisies Of exaggerated size.
with centers Of deep yellow, are seen
on much OF the fashionable millinery.
A delicate and pretty umbrella han
die in carved ivory represents a full
blown orchid. Other designs show the
flower half closed.
A double-faced ribbon is satin on
one side and moire on the other.
When made up into bows the watered
side is underneath.
Silver or gilt garter clasps are orna-
mented with some flower, such as
forget-me-not, marguerite or a
clover-head in colors.
Some of the new fancy grenadines
have as design very small blocks of
cream white, alternating with tiny
blocks Of gold. rose. blue or green.
Separate silk waists are made with
box plaits between, which are bands
Of Egyptian embroidery, both the
bands and the plaits ending at the
bands and the plais ending at tae bust

A new thing is a cravat holder that
will help 20 keep cravats in shape.
This Is heavily colored cardboard. to
which are attached ten or more rings.
Through these the cravats are drawn.
One Of the advantages Of this holder
is that any one cravat can be with.
drawn without displacing the others.
An attractive separate waist Of pom.
gee is trimmed with black. There Is
a plain band about an inch deep at
the top Of the stock. the cuffs of the
sleeves are finished in tie same way.
and there are straps Oh the pongee,
one on either side of the collar be-

FOR TIRED WOMEN.

Learn how to do nothing. Practice
cultivating complete rest. Any wo
man can do It, Begin by completely
relaxing every nerve and muscle for
five minutes a day.
If you are a home woman, go tc
your own room and give orders that ir
no event are you to be disturbed. Draw
the curtains and close the door; lie
down, if possible.
Say to yourself: 81 have left care
and worry and anxiety outside my
door. will rest my soul and body
absolutely for these few precious mo
ments."
Wide-awake repose, if complete, will
prove inestimably restful A few
minutes of absolute relaxation, liter.
ally thinking Of nothing, will greatly
revitalize the nervous woman.
With regard to the amount of sleer
required for women an author Of re

subject is frequently overlooked. Ex.

Now, viewed simply from a purely
material and hygienic point, this is
an error 1t is quite possible to ac.
custom your self to so little sleep as
to be greatly the loser thereby. Il
may not show Immediately, but it will
in the end.
From seven to eight hours sleep is
needed by all people leading active
lives, and brain workers can least af
ford to cut down their allowance. II
for any reason it is occasionally neces
sary it should be made up by extra
sleep as soon as possible. Any other
course undermines the strength in.

a breakdown Of some sort. The Sc.
verer the tasks imposed upon the
brain, the more sleep 1t should be
allowed
The woman who cannot sleep is al
ways nervous subject. She should
religiously take enough physical ex.
erclse each day to induce healthfH
fatigue. She should eat simple, easily
digested food, avoiding tea and cof
fee later than her breakfast hour
Many women declare that tea and cof
fee have no effect upon their nerves.
/ know they are mistaken. Coffee and
tea are excellent exoitants and enemies
of sleep.
The insomnia victim may be lulled
to rest by a gentle massage-the hyp.

unconscious of their wells and their
gloves, and they expect every one else

LIGHT OF THE HOUSEHOLD.

LIGHT OF THE HOUSEHOLD.
There is no light equal to that given
by a well-cared-for lamp, but to get
the best results daily attention must
be given. The lamp must be kept
perfectly clean, and none but the best
oil must be used. In a house where
there are several lamps in daily use
a regular time should be set apart
each morning to attend to the lamps.
In this way they are never forgotten.
and the use Of partly filled lamp is
avoided, with all of its accompanying
dangers.
First remove the chimneys from all
the lamps and wipe them daily inside
and out with a soft clean cloth This
will remove the daily accumulation
Of dust that will gather. Once week
give every chimney a thorough wash
ing with hot water. Wipe thoroughly
with a clean cloth. little amOnia or
borax placed in the hot water will
help to remove the oil from the Chin
neys. When the chimneys are clean

scald it, and, after drying thoroughly,
refill with fresh oil into which put a
teaspoonful of salt.
When you find that the wicl1s are
growing short throw them away at
once and reht the lamps with new
wicks. Before putting in the new
wicks boil them for half an hour in
vinegar, dry them thoroughly and you
VIII find that your lamps do not throw
out a disagreeable odor, nor will they
be apt to smoke.
AS a usual thing it is the want OF
judicfous care that causes a lamp tc
