satisfactory, particularly when the gown

Neutral tinted boas very often have the
effect of framing the face becomingly and

appearance of an all-over design. Ocher,
greens and delicate blues and pinks are
shades represented in the summer wash

Swiss lawns are among the prettiest
things in wash fabrics. They divide the
honors with linens in the ateliers of the
great dressmakers. They are made UP in
exquisite smartness with lace and ribbon
and are mounted over a foundation of
silk. Foularu frocks either If-trimmed
or garnished with lace, are among the
modish midsummer models. The foulards
are of three or four shades and come in
satin or lack luster finishes The self
trimmed gowns are made up with friIls
or hOunces and are covered with pin
plaits or narrow folds. The use Of plain
satin with satin foulards permits some
very striking and handsome trimmings.

HOW TO CARE FOR THE ALWAYS USEFUL UMBRELLA

| not be rolled, as the folds become fixed
In the cloth, and holes or rents are like
ly to appear in the seams.
Very inexpensive and very pretty UNI
brella stands which take up little room
may be purchased in the stores. They
cost almost any price from 81 up. Stands
of bronze, consisting of little more than
drip pan and a frame for the support
of the umbrellas, are the cheapest. Iron,
bronze and brass are also used in their
manufacture.
The most artistic stands are of wrought
iron worked into wonderfully pretty de-
signs, in which appear straight and twist
ed rods and conventionalized- designs of
leaves and flowers. The jet black finish
of the wrought iron is in harmony with
any interior decoration
Stands of terra Gotta or Of china are
very artistic, and some of them are cost
ly. Satsuma ware and delft are expen-
sive Dark green backgrounds adorned
with raised figures in green and white
and white backgrounds covered with fig
ures in green and ocher are popular in
the medium priced stonewares. Black and
white effects are striking, as also are
black and gray in stoneware or china.
When a rack is desired for the hall a
bamboo one, very light and very narrow,
is the most convenient in the average en-
room can be spared for a cumbersome
piece of furniture In a square reception
hall the corner nearest the stairs is the
most convenient position for the umbrella
receptacle.
A homemade rack may be made from
piece of sewer pipe inverted in a
brass or enameled pan. The surface of
the pipe is carefully measured and a piece
is cut from glazed wall paper made to
represent tiles. With some glue the paper
is applied to the surface of the pipe and
smoothed carefully SO that it will appear
to be part of it. When the paper has
dried it should be gone over with shellac
varnish. The object of this is to make
the paper waterproof.
Instead of covering the pipe with tiled
paper preferably blue and white) it may
be enameled wood green or delft blue.
What are called Imari umbrella stands
are very handsome. These, with the pref
ty red Tokenabi, may be purchased in
the department stores at a moderate
price
There are nowadays few umbrellas
] which are not made either of silk or of
mixed cloth in which silk is the prin-
c1pal ingredient. Cotton and gingha m
are seldom seen in good company, and the

are no longer to be found

TIPS FOR THE COOK.

To Correct the Flat Taste of Boiled
Water-In these days of very impure
water it is necessary to health to poll it.
One objection to this is the fiat taste
boiled water has from the removal of
it's gases. Aerate it by pouring it back
and forth several times from one vessel
to another, and this is all removed.
Bread Instead of 'Pastry-TO use a
round or crown loaf of bread instead of
postry for a chicken pie is more whole
some, besides unusual. Cut off the
top about one-third of the way down.
Dig out the entire soft inside, to be
dried and rolled into bread crumbs; fill
with the chicken and dressing, and put
on the top.
Why Ovens Sometimes Fail-One rea-
son why ovens will not bake >on the bot
tom oftentimes is because the lower part
of the fire, while red, is vet so burned
out it doesn't give out much heat. Be
sure you have good fire all the way
down.
How to Keep Cereals-CereaIs arc very
apt to grow musty, so the economical
housewife buys them in small quanti-
opened, keeps the remainder in a glass
jar with screw top.
Nutmeg and Lemon Rind In using
nutmeg or lemon rind as a favoring
much better results are obtained by
cooking piece of either in the dish be-
ward
Boiled Rice-The dry, every grain sep
arate effect so desirable in boiled rice ia
obtained by pouring water over it
through colander, after boiling and
then drying it in the oven with the door
open.
A New Dish-One of the latest notions
is to roll chopped nuts and NeufchateI
cheese into little balls not unlike batter
balls and serve.
