Pearl fruit is not natural but 1t Is
artful and pretty, and adorns five out
of six dressy spring hats. Nearly
every hat Of white chiffon or lace
sports a spray of pearl berries or
grapes, and the soft sheen Of these
strange fruits are seen among bows
of pale blue ribbon and masses of pale
green foliage.
Large coral-pin pearls, hanging from
green stems, are mounted as punches
of cherries with natural-colored
leaves; small white pearls as currants
and ivy berries, but always with ma.
tural-colored foliage. Elongated
pearls are used to make wheat ears
and the clustered seeds of grasses. A

Laundering sllk MaterIals.

In these days of wash silk ribbons
and wash silk waists, it is well to
know how best to launder them. If
the silk is undyed IT may be soaked
for q time in cold water, then squeezed
or lightly rubbed In the water and
washed in soap lather. If it is much
soiled a little dissolved boraX may be
added to the washing water. If it is
pure white the last water in which
it is rlnsed may be slightly blued, but
not for cream or natural colored silk.
The washing lather should be merely
warm, hot water having bad effect
on colored silks. In the last rlnsing
water add to every pint Of water two
tabtespoonfuls Of prepared gum, which
will give a very slight frmness to the
silk, and also better finish and gloss.
Wrap it in a soft cloth and press very
dry, and leave it rolled up till ready
for ironing; it requires no drying. For
ironing, lay the silk on the table right
side up and very smooth; cover it with
a thin cloth, and run the iron lightly
over till partly dry. Then remove the
cover and iron completely. If the iron
is brought into direct contact with the
damp silk, 1t will leave a rusty stain,
which can only be removed with great
trouble, and after many washings.
Pongee silk should be almost dry be-
fore it is ironed, as otherwise the silk
will be left with a very greasy look

useful Meat Knowledge.

In selecting a butcher try to find
an honest one. for, in spite of lectures
and demonstrations galore on the buy
ing of meat the housewife is bound
to be more or less dependent on the
knight Of the cleaver.
Any woman can and should know the
different cuts of meat, the food value
and the general signs that indicate
good, healthy beef, veal, mutton and
pork, but she cannot know how long
the meat has hung, whether the beef
be "cow," past its usefulness for dairy
on "slop' prime steer beef from the
cornfelds of the west the rich alfalfa
pastures of the southwest or rangers"
toughened with leagues of travel in the
effort to exc out precarlous existence.
Much must be left to the honesty of
the butcher who is usually quite will
ing to advise the propitlatory woman
about the best and most economical
cuts OF meat.
While the best of beef is none too
good for any family, the so-called
best" or most expensive cuts are to
be avoided by the woman of frugal
means. Nor is this any serious depriv.
alton. The expensive tenderloin so
highly esteemed by gourmets because
Of its tenderness, has very little flavor
of its own-not half so much as the
round or sirloin, and, Furthermore, is
always open to suspicion unless taken
