Several persons have written to me ask
ing for a good and reliable rule for making
cucumber cream. The following / can rec
ommend as being all that is claimed for
it: Pour six ounces Of sweet almond oil
into a double boiler, and add four good
sized cucumbers cleaned well. but with the
peeling on. Cut them up into squares.
When the oil has begun to warm. stir
moderately, and then set on the back If the
af0va IN simmer for fOIr n- five hO-rrS II
It must be cooked on the gas range, be sure
that a very small flame is used. and that
1t cooks as slowly as possible. After il has
immere the requisite length of time, re-
move from the fire and strain through a
fine wire gauze strainer or else a very
coarse piece of cheese cloth.
To six ounces OF the strained liquid add
one ounce of white wax, one ounce of
Epermaceti and two ounces OF !anoline.
Heat again until the wax is melted. then
take off the stove and beat with an egg
heater UntiIAthe mixture is cold. While |
beating add two teaspoonfuls of tincture Of
benzoin.
MI. and Mrs. Daniel Boone OF Kansas |
City have been entertaining a large house
party, with several st. Louis guests. Mrs.
Alexander Young and Miss Fannie Wood
ward returned home the first of last week.
The married beauty of the Newport sea-
son, thus far, is Mrs. Archibald Mcclure Of
Albany. She was formerly Miss Anna Cas-
SIN. and a noted belle. Her marriage has
more than the usual touch of romance.
Her photograph was published in a certain
magazine, several years ago. and attracted
the attention of Mr.. Mcclure, who was at i
the time q young mining engineer in Mon |
taua- He came all the way to Albany. and
by means of mutual friends sought out the
beautiful original of the picture. courted |
her Desperately and eventually married her.
Very open-meshed linens have the lead |
this summer among smart women for
shopping gowns. and informal afternoon |
wear. Either a whole costume or else a
blouse may be made of the linen and al
most any color or combination may be
used
Mrs. William C. Boyd, who. with Mr..
BOYD, has been rusticating in Old Orchard ,
since the beginning of summer, came into
town one of these hot mornings last week
looanng delightfully."- fresh and cool in a
blouse of cream linen of this same loosely
woven texture, each half-inch tuck down
the front being feather-stitched in scar. /
lei, while the stock-one of those cool, I'M |
lined CHAIRS, sloping to a point directly in
front, and climbing the least little bit under I
the ears, was rather more deliberately en-
brodered in the scarlet. Narrow round
CUTS were also touched with the embroid-

WIZ III Ah0A ~ II i
prettiest gown of its kind I've seen.
The same open-mesh linen was used, and
the skirt made with some simple length
wise tucks of moderate width, stitched
down There were no decorative features
70 the skirt. but the blouse, which really
did blouse considerably in front. was hand
embroidered, first down each side in odd
shaped designs of white and then a con-
ventionai pattern. also in white, down each
of the five tucks that extended from collar
to waist line. TIL collar and cuffs were
simply made and also embroidered. With
this Mrs. Blair wear a blue straw hat, ex-
actly matching the gown in color, and car
ries q Dutch blue parasol.
High ruffs boas that stick out several
feet IN the rear. and punches of tulle that
obtrude themselves on our notice, are
d~oomed-that is. for the coming season. 1t
WI be one of fiat effects, and won't the
fat girl rejoice thereat! She never did take
kindly to riffs, and as for boas they give
her a stuffy. bouncing look that adds at
least fifteen pounds so far as appear
ances go.
But she will have things all her own
way this coming fall, for the colonial is to
be quite out. Collars VIII fall to the
ehoulder. The more picturesque they are
the more fashionable. The old-fashioned
embroidered mantilla effects will be i'm
! monsely popular. and that girl who WINS
one, inherited from a grandmother, is in
deed fortunate. SERENA LAMB
