We have changed all that. The thin
summer frock turned out by an artist
is still, in a majority of cases, untub-
bable, but that is because of its sheer
ness, tsllaces and intricate handwork
and general elaboration, not because
of it's lining. The unlined blouse and
skirt are much in evidence and all
severe lines are taboo.
To obtain the proper neglige effect
without crossing the line of slouchi
ness, to compass the artful artlessness
of the correct summer frock requires
care and thought. In the first place
the under garments must be adapted
to the frock.
Badly fitted corset covers, petit.
coats, etc, can spoil the lines of any
thin frock. There should be no awk.

You are probably not aware of the
fact that upwards of 20 nationalities
are represented in cur composite citi-
zenship. AT some time every year each
one of these nationalities will appear
on the books of some port of entry,
because of the desire of the immi'

hundreds of these dishes, and all of
their names are unfamiliar to our peo-

The Irish cannot make many boasts
concerning the excellence of their ma
tive gastronomy; and yet they import
regularly pieces of bacon, genuine

kind of dried seaweed which is gathered
on the western coast of old Ireland.
This is said to be especially wholesome
for persons disposed to be dyspeptic.

the material used at our coast resorts
for the preparation of clam bakes.
When it is cooked, however, according
to the notions of the old folks, it de-
yelops into a dark gelatinous mass
which is very agreeable to the taste,
and undoubtedly beneficial to the
health.
''There is a seaweed very like the
Irish importation which the Scandi-
navians import from Norway and
Sweden; and they also import several
kinds of bread, and very small cab
bage. There are three kinds of bread;
one like German pumpernickel, one
like unleavened bread, which the Jews
call matzos, and another kind which
seems to be betwiXt and between the
two. All of these breads are palatable,
and extremely nutritious. They are
usually toasted and served with milk,
cream, butter or cheese.
