TIC WEAR ~ W

Silk petticoats with polka dot de-
signs and finished with medium width
accordion pleated ruttles are new and
pretty.
A new summer textile seen in Paris
recently consisted Of batiste de sole,
which is a variation Of the mousseline,
with velvet stripe effect.
The newest buckles resemble a bat,
oxidized, silver or gilt, with wings out
spread. The velvet or satin ribbon is
passed through and across the centre
Of the body
Hand-worked white linen, showing
designs of perforated English embroid-
cry and medallions in solid stitching,
is one of the most effective of the new
embrOlderies.
Small turnover collars, in pastel
shades Of pink, blue and other popular
colors, receive a Persian finish by
designs embroidered in quiet tones OF
cotton, or even silk.
The conventional tie. with laces that
were forever becoming united, has
given place to low shoe with high
heels and high, haring leather tongue,
finished with large brass or steel
buckle. These shapes are meant for
street wear.
With a long red chid's coat buttoned
with two rows Of white pearl buttons
Is worn an effective collar of Irish
lace. 1t Is made Of the all-over lace
and finished on the edge with red and
white linen, put on in bands, the red
and white alternating.
A couple Of other little stocks which
are simple and dainty are made one Of
narrow pink-striped lawn and the other
Of dimity, with a tiny hair line of black
and small circles. Both of these are
made with top collars, and rather mar
row ends, which tie in small bows.
Pleated jackets and sleeves are to be
seen in the black silk short outer gar
ments for women. The whole Of the
jacket is made of wide pleats, and the
sleeve is the same, opening in a full
bell at the wrist. Some of these jack
cts are very short, cutting up In the
centre Of both front and back, until
they are not much more than apologies
for garments. -.-..------..

of loops, so that there is no hint of
purchased luxuriance.
II nature has been more than usually
niggardly, one may cover the entire
chevelure with a skilful arrangement
front and back that is so perfectly
made as to defy detection. That these
are costly in high degree is not
strange when the amount OF trouble
involved in making is considered. The
net which serves as foundation is
made of the finest white hair and a
single hair is caught in every mesh.
The process Is long and tedious, and
demands the utmost delicacy of touch
In the operator. The net and hair are
all imported, mostly from France, and
are converted by the American hair
dressers into the graceful and becom-
ing coiffures that are shown on waxen
heads in fashionable shop windows

Cream of Asparagus soup.

but If water. use all cream. Three
tablespoonfuls Of butter, three of -four,
one onion, salt and pepper. Cut the
tops from one bunch of asparagus and
cook them twenty minutes in salted
water to cover. The remainder Of the
asparagus cook twenty minutes in the
quart Of stock or water. Cut the onion
In thin slices and fry in the butter ten
minutes, being careful not to burn;
then add the asparagus that has been
boiled in the stock; cook five minutes,
stirring constantly, tnen add -four and
cook five minutes longer. Turn this
mixture into the boiling stock and boil
gently twenty minutes. Rub through
1 sieve, add the milk and cream which
las just come to a boil, and also the
asparagus tips. Season with salt and
pepper and serve.

Cool rain water and soda will re-

A tablespoonful of sugar added to
milk that is to be boiled for custard or

To blanch a few almonds and put
them into soft gingerbread just before

fore washing in the suds.
inexpensive jute tapestries may be
had in strong, rich colorlngs that make
very desirable summer hangings; the
blue and the green are especially good.
Kerosene will make tin kettles as

and rub with it. 1t will also remove
stains from the clean vanished furni-
ture.
The best way to take grease spots our
of carpets is to mix little soap into a
gallon of warm water, then add half
an ounce Of boraX; wash the part well
with clean cloth. and the grease or
dirty spot will disappear.
Black lace may be washed in warm
water, to which a little boraX has been
added in the proportion of teaspoon
full to a pint. This lace should never
be dried by the fire, as it VIII turn

All canned vegetables should be
opened and set aside, if possible out of
doors.for some time, perhaps half an
hour. before using. Thus the oxygen,
removed in the process of canning, Is
restored to them, and with it much
of the fresh taste.
Beeswax and salt will make your
rusty fatirons as clean and smooth

The KaIser,s Little Daughter.

1t is whispered in Berlin that the
real ruler Of the imperial family is the
Kaiser's little daughter, Princess Vic
toria Louise. Her father adores her
and she keeps her brothers in great
order, says Home Notes. One day the
Emperor was discussing his small
daughter with one Of his sisters, and
said: when she is talking to me she
sometimes forgets that l am the En-
peror, but she is never obliviOus Of the
fact that she is His Imperial Majesty's
daughter" Her Imperial Hghness,
who is now ten years old, is not
exactly a pretty child, but she has
bright, expressive little face, and she
has inherited the physical courage
characteristic of her race.

PRESERVING Fruit.
The Best Sizes to Select and High Flavor
Needed.

The Best Sizes to Select and High Flavor
Needed.
Fruit Of medium size and high flavor
Is best for canning. 1t should be fully
ripe, but firm and free from bruises
or rotten specks. Cllngstone peaches
are much the best. Choose fruit from
the nearest orchards"-that which has
been shipped long distance seldom
pays for canning. This is particularly
true of pears, which are almost flavor
less unless rlpened on the tree. Fruit
must be picked just as it begins to
turn for long-distance shipping, hence
Is always more or less insipld.
Wash and drain the fruit before be-
ginning to pare it, If it Is the least
bit dusty or sticky. Pare as thin as
posslble--the finest fruit flavor turks
next the skin. Drop peaches fast as
peeled into a deep jar full of clear
lime water. This prevents their turn
ing brown and in a measure hardens
them. Leave them whole unless too
dig to go in the can. In that case,
halve, leaving the pit in one half.
When all are peeled, drain off the
lime water, cover with fresh water,
:inse well and weigh. Take half the
weight of pared fruit in granulated
sugar, put it over the fire in pre-
serving kettle, with half a pint of gin
ger tea, and the juice of lemon to
each pound, prepared as follows: Pare
off the yellow lemon rind before
squeezing, and put it with the fruit.
Make the ginger tea by brulslng half
IN ounce Of ginger for each pint
wanted, covering it with boiling water
and letting it stand for fifteen minutes
before straining.
! Boil the syrup five minutes, skim
ming it well at least twice. and when it
bolls hard, drop in all the peaches it
will cover Leave them in until the
kettle again strikes n boil then skim
out with perforated skinner and put
into hot glass jars. Set the Jars where
they viii keep hot until all the fruit
has been in the syrup. Add pint of
fresh syrup for each half gallon al
ready used. Bring it to quick boil.

Nat Weirhf.

A story that might be true OF pur-
chasing agents in more than one city
is told by the Brooklyn Eagle. One
need not question its verify too closely
FOR it has enough Of humor to make 1t
worth retelling.
A physician on the city health COM
mission ordered five pounds of sponges.
In the course df time he received two
sponges that together weighed less
than a pound. Later he received a
voucher for him to sign in order that
the contractor might get his pay from
the city. The physician refused to sign
It.
"Why woR't you signy asked the
contractor.
Because the order calls for FIVE
pounds, and the sponges you sent me
don't weigh more than five ounces"
Nonsense, man! l weighed them
myself"
80 did /. IL you don't believe my
figures, there are the sponges. Weigh
them yourself"
"What". cried the contractor, looking
at the shrunken sponges. "You don't
mean to say you weighed them dry!"

In Dressing the Hair.

Never in the history Of fashion has
there been so much allowance made
for individual styles as now. In other
eras all women wore their gowns made
in exactly the same way and dressed
the hair in precisely the same mode
Now, one may see in any gathering Of
fashionable people a score Of different
styles in dress and coiffure.
This is especially to be noticed in
the colffure, as in that detail even
more latitude is allowed for lndicidual-
ity than in costume. The leading hair
dressers say that this is largely due
to the great improvements made dur.
ing late years, in the preparation Of
"additional' hair. C'False hair" and
Switches" be 1t noted, are no longer
recognized in polite circles. They are
additional" hair and "knots"J
The new methods of preparing hair
for sale have removed the objections
that so long have deferred fastldious
women from using any but their own,
and now few and far between are
they who do not supplement- nature
with deft touches of art in this respect
The old fashioned Switch" with its
thick "stem," four ior five inches long,
in which were fastened hairs of vary
ing length, usually straight and coarse,
has been replaced by the knot. This is
made of soft, fine, wavy hair, of equal
length, fastened at the upper end to a
small loop, which Is caught in With
that on the head The growing hair
Is waved lightly. and the two are
twisted into soft, full knot or series

Frnl Fancies.

The new misty greyish blue is called
zenith, possibly because it is the color
of the heavens when the midday sun
of a hot summers day gives hazy at
mosphere to the sky. 1t Is shade
which is becoming to blonde and bru-
nette alike. Delicate reseda pale hello
trope, champignon and silver gray are
also favorites.
The newest lace mittens have their
owners initials executed in high dec
orative woven design upon the back of
the hand. They are liked because they
display the profuslon of rings with
which some women now load their
fingers.
Cromwell shoes, with large buckles,
are introduced again for walking, and
for the full dress toilette satin shoes,
with lace inlays, touched with jewels,
are sold.
Point d-esprlt, with pleated ends Of
plain lawn, edged with narrow, old
fashioned founces, is wound round the
throat, and plain lawn has baby ribbon
threaded through it, to make it SER
viceable.
Most of the new shirts Of batiste and
lawn are left without neckbands, so
that deep Puritan collars of stiffened
lawn can be worn with them, or the
still more alluring soft cambrlc ones Of
great depth with hand-wrought em-
broidery at the edges.
A dandified stock for the manly girl
is formed of a broad width of black
satin twice wound round the throat,
the square ends being fixed in front
with an ornamental pin, or two pins
with a jeweled head attaAhed by a fine
gold chain.

TREASURE ISLAND.
III FRANK LILLE POLLOCK,

On that white Caribbean Key,
Uncharted, lost these hundred years.
Rests in the keeping of the sea
The secret Of the buccaneers.
rarnished and soiled with rust and mold,
Heap jeweled poignards, musketools,
silks sacramental cups Of gold,
Ingots and pesos and doublcons.
A fathom deep beneath the sand
The live gems, blood-stained, beam ai.l
burn,
And wait the lost adveuturer's hand,
The midnight hail, the crews return.
Remembering the torches fare
When Blackboard brought the chests
ashore,
Landmarked the spot and sunk them there,
Beat back to sea-and comes no more.
The suburban citizen., 1902-06-21

Unless, maybe, at black OF night,
Up from the phosphorescent sea
A phantom craft makes for the blight
And anchors off the ghostly Keyi
And all the fierce dead fighting men
From deep-sea grave or gibbet-chain
Riot upon the beach again,
AS when they bled the Spanish Main.
But when the dawn wind gives the sign
Back to the dark the shades retire,
Trailing along the shuddering brine
A wake OF evanescent fire.
And silence on that haunted shore
Renews her endless reign alone,
Pulsed by the long tides rising roar,
The surf's withdrawing monotone.
