This should be put over the sward
before shower. The rain will carry
it to the roots of the plants and en-
courage rapid growth.
The lawn should be gone over with
mower once a week at least The
best time for cutting is in the even
ing, when the tender blades are not
exposed to the direct rays of the sun.
When terrace is to be clipped, the
simple eXpedient of attaching q rope
to one end of the cutter will hold the
instrument in position while a second
operator guides it over the slope in
lines parallel to the top.
If after the grass has been trim
med there is a refreshing fall of rain,
it will take on a prettier green and
flourish with double vigor. An artifi-
cial shower may be substituted for
rain. If the plot is a small one and
the grass not very flourishing, a little
ammonia added to the water in the
sprinkler is said to be an excellent
tonic.
The sprinkling of the lawn in the
evening will contribute greatly to the
modification of the temperature. A
fine spraying apparatus attached to
the end of the hose will do the work
when the lawn is too large to be con-
veniently gone over with an old-fash-
Toned watering can.

sward, and it seems so bright and
CHEEKY that the owner of the lawn saws
indulgently: "Only one little dande-
lion! 1t looks so gay and so harm
less that | shall not interfere with|t!"
By and by she beholds only a plot of
saucy flowers; grass is as rare as
roses in December. Then the indig-
nant gardener gets out her working
gloves and "a trowel and undertakes
to dig the offenders out root and
branch, but a week or so later she
has the annoyance of seeing them
almost as thick as before.
What she should have done when
the first daring dandelion made its
appearance was to go out, cut off the
top of the plant and insert in the hole

possible This kills the deep roots and
prevents the foliage from growing UP
again. PlantainS are Objectionable
lawn tenants and may be DESTROYED

Indeed, the treatment will prove ef-
ficacious with any weeds. The intrud-
ing plants must be attended to before
the flowers have gone to seed, other
wise scores of new ones will take the
place of the eradicated Migrants.
Weeds are apt to starve the grass, and
the excuse that they are decorative is
foolish in the extreme. Were the
weeds removed grass would spring up
in their place.

The soft hats of Panama straw
are just the things for summer rough
and ready wear. They are trimmed
with a single or double band or are

In scanning the milIiners' stock it is
noticeable that the white hat is dis
placing the black one. Dark head
gear is seldom pretty, and the craze
for black picture hats is happily at
an end. The white effects are perch
ed very high at one side of the head
and filled in with soft draperies, bows
flowers and buckles. A frou frou of
draperies generally constitutes the
sole trimming of the crown. Feathers
or ostrich plumes sometimes take the

horizontally. The sleeves, as on the
majority of such costumes, were al
lowed to expand toward the wrists
and were there bordered by deep
stitched bands of the linen.
A double box plat running down
the front of the garment character
lied one of the newest linen dresses.
On each side of the central plat side
ones were disposed at intervals of
half an inch. The small ones passed
down the blouse front and shaped
the skirt over the hips. Practically
the gown was a princess, although the
belt worn with it gave it the appear
ance of being an ordinary ShirtWaist
costume A chemisette Of open lace
obout the neck allowed the utmost
freedom of motion. The lace chemi-
settles, combining, as they do, yoke
and collar, are a distinct improve
ment over the hot linens or high silk
stocks.
The short linen Jackets useful for
wear with any type of skirt are dis
tinctly in favor. The average woman
has a decidedly undressed feeling
when she appears in public in her
shirtwaist. Probably it will eventu-
ally be as bad form for a woman to
go out in her shirtwaist sleeves as
for a man to venture in public in a
similar state of undress.
Women are not such victims to
conventionality as men would like to
believe, and up to the present mo-
ment they have discarded the Jackets

of the garments are strengthened
with lines of the silk stitching.
One OF these was a short affair of
the Russian type with narrow, round
ed basques. 1t was caught in at the
waist with a stitched silk belt of the
same color as the coat. A sailor collar
edged with heavy linen embroidery
and bearing embroidered polka dots
added elegance to the jacket.
The second coat was a blouse fas-
tened at the waist with a pointed
girdle. 1t was faced down the front
with stitched and buttoned revers.

Trimmind Novelties

The newest silk Of the season is the
shot armure, though there are some
strlhngly beautiful brocades and
chimes Stripes, too, are fashionable.
poth In soft blouse silks and gIaces,
but so far there have not been any
distinctive novelties. These seem re-
served for the trimmings, many Of
which are exceedingly decorative and
novel, notably the leather tasseI and
flower garniture which the smartest
tallors are using to such excellent adj
vantage on serge and cloth coats and
skirts. Then there are the lovely Rus
sian and Oriental embroideries, which
are charming finish on frieze gowns.
An effective Oriental embroidery on
a white MORE collar distinguished a
pale green frieze- costume, the design
being carried out in soft, dull shades
OF silk picked out with silver thread.
Russian embroidery decorated a very
pretty turquoise blue linen river
frock, while on a floss linen holland
colored dress Irish crochet lace was

teaspoonsful of sugar, half level tee

Make the milk tepid; then add it to
the butter. Beat up the egg, strain it
into the milk; then strain in the yeast
and mix well. Make a hole in the mid
die of the -four stir the milk, etc, in
to 1t. Then work in all the flour.
Knead well, place the dough in a ba-

hours or till the surface is covered
with cracks. Then take it out of the

roll them out lightly with the hand till
they are about six inches long. Next

sea sickness.

not to look out of the window, as one
is told not to look out at the sea, since
the rapid movement is supposed to
produce an effect on the back Of the
eyes which is directly transferred to
the brain, causing a sort of dizziness.
1t is also said that sleeping on the
train is bad, but this, in my case at
least, is something which the train it,

About the Brides caLA

Some persons account for the brides
cake by saying that it originally
was a sample of what she could do in
the way of fanCiful housekeeping. Her
wedding cake was her masterpiece.
Whatever it may have been, the con-
fectioner takes the hazard now, and
the bride is relieved Of any possible
last minute dissatisfaction with her
accomplishments.
The rage for gold in every possible
form is expressed in cake by the oc-
casional use Of a wreath Of gold fruit
and flowers, which remains intact after

of these is lined with soft leather, a
protection for the edges of the bind

Some of these cabinets are suspend

space for not more than a dozen large

it's separate compartment, lined with
chamois or ordinary soft leather. Cur

Coronation Drink.

The coronation has given champagne
the highest place as the drink of
wealth and fashion.
Port, the beverage wherein for CEN
turtles healths have been drunk, has
been superseded. The change is a
commentary on the gradual alterations
of living habits. Port is so heavy that
it no longer accords with the stress
and sham of modern life. Champagne
is light and "lulling," and taken in
moderation has practically no effect
on the digestive system.
Although the ideal condition of af-
fairs in the minds of teetotalers would
be a complete abolition of the drink
habit, they must find consolation in
the fact that the way people live today
makes the old "three bottles a man"
excuses a physical impossibility.

Tight gloves are worse than tight
shoes. The shoes may give a dainty
look to the foot in spite of the tortures

Gloves should be worn so easily fit
