by more than 800 members OF the organise
'tion. military guests, representatives In
Congress. other public officials and former
members of the corps. 1t was one Of the
most elaborate celebrations held under the
auspices OF the command. and the patriotic
speeches, songs and recitatfons given
aroused great enthusiasm.
Shortly after o'clock. the hour set for
the entertainment, the guests began to ar
rive and were received in the officers quar-
tiers on the second floor of the armory. Tho
walls and ceiling OF this room were COM
pietely hidden under the folds Of immense
American flags and streamers OF bunting
and offered decidedly patriotic welcome to
visitors. At $50 the long line Of guests
marched into the banquet room. Like the
officers room. the walls and ceiling here
were decorated deliberately with flags, bunt-
ing and streamers The pillars In the large
drill hall were draped in the national col

side, directly in the rear Of the tables oc-

Strawberry Syrup.

To prepare a syrup of strawberries. to bc used fin making cooling drinks for the sum- mer, take rich but not over ripe berries. If ar all sandy put in colander and run water through them, hull and put in stone jar with an equal quantity of fine granulated sugar. stand the jar in a large pan of boil Ing water for half an hour or until the juice Is well extracted. then strain through Jelly bag Put the strained juice fin clean gran ite kettle and set on tho back of the range, where 1t will Just simmer but not boil for nn- other half hour. Have glass cans thor oughly sterilized by mmersng cover and all in boiling water for twenty minutes. This can be done without breaking the can by setting the jars on a wet, hot towel lald In the dripping pan and putting a silver spoon in each can when filling with hot water, not allowing the spoon to touch the sides. Put the covers on the cans and screw tight. At the end of twenty minutes or half m hour empty out the water and i'll the cans with the scaldlng syrup. Put on the rubbers and screw tight. As the cans cool tighten the covers until perfectly air tight and set in cool place until needed. Tn making soda water allow one-third glass of the syrup to two thirds soda water.

the sunlight. The practice followed by some ill-advised women of washing their hair at night and letting 1t hang over the pillow to dry is reprehensible. Sunlight is a wonderful tonic for the hair, as for the entire human system. If the hair is oily. borax may be used to cut the oil. A shampoo prepared by boiling together borax, pure soap and rain water is excellent Soap should never be rubbed on the hair, and it should be dried { nrst by batting 1t with soft towels. Turkish toweling literally tears the wet hair from the scalp.
 Diet.-Her diet Is completely revised with the coming of hot weather. Meat appears on the table but once day, and then In the nghtest form. Chicken, fish and beef she may use, but she avoids veal, mutton and pork. Fruit, vegetables and salads appeal to the girl who is willing to sacrifice the grosser appetite to q good complexion. Choc- oate is stricken from her morning meal, also heating cereals.
 Ice-crcam in limited quantities is health. fui, and temperance in soft drinks is en- joined. Excess in soda water and kindred mixtures is absolutely dangerous. A limited use of lemonade is healthful; ginger ale with lemon is very good, and claret cup is harmless. Cold, but not iced, milk Is also an important article of the summer girls diet.
 For the Busy Woman.-The young woman who is detained in town by business may so modify these suggestions for hygienic comfort as to make her existence far more endurable. The two baths a day rule should be followed, and directly on returning home at night she should change her clothing The extra exertion entailed before sitting down to dinner will be more than compen- seted by the sense of relaxation which fol- lows the evening meal If thin, summerlike gown is worn. If the work followed during the day Is sedentary. a walk in the evening or trolley ride Into the suburbs is advis- able. The girl who has been on her feet dur ing the day should take more quiet pleasure at night; but the secret of the evenings rest Is relaxation. At no time is 1t so Important for woman to lay aside business cares when she leaves the counter or desk as in summer.
 With the worlds market unloaded at her very feet, the summer girl in town may eat what she will. With the summer bargain sales at their height, there Is no reason why she should not dress hygienically and sensi- bly, With trolley rides in every direction for q mere song, and with beach trips and river f-- to be had for trifiing sums, there is no reason n sAo should not find pleasures to

All of this was exactly in line with the dra wings and recommendations of the family archi- tect.
 Fumed oak, 1t was decided, should be used in the living room-that being the newest finish for this sort of furniture. Forest green could be used In the hall aud in some of the bedrooms, while weathered oak must be used in the dining room by all means. The cost of furnishing the house would come safely within the $500 limit if certain economies were used. Six dining chairs, an extension table and crystal cabaret would cost from S65 to $90; the table in the hall, the Morris chair, settee and bookcase from SIP to 800, while the four piece parlor suit, table, cabl- net and palm stand would cost from S75 to $100. If the lower figure, and the furniture which that represented, would be sufi- clently good In every particular, the aggre- gate cost for furniture for the lower floor would be S213, allowing for chair and table in the kitchen.

hardly do for place in which to pass so much of ones summer. Confessing herself unable to cope with the situation, she decid- ed to leave 1t to Tom.
 Clara held that while sleeping room could undoubtedly be oyerfurnished, yet It was not necessary that all of the knicknaeks usually displayed there and indicative of the own CTS personality be removed. The first thing to be considered was the sanitary features of the room. Anything that would tend to har bor germs or dust must not be allowed. Phy- slcians agree that figured paper is annoying to the sick and 1t has a more or less injurious effect upon the well and should undoubtedly not be used in the bed room. At any rate, she was sure that the walls should be smooth ly finished and painted. Mating should not be tackled to the floor, for 1t should frequently be removed and beaten in the open air, and if this or grass carpet were used 1t should be In the form of mat. Furthermore, all draperies should be of q washable kind.
 Bedroom Furnishings.
 Toms plan of the '.giris roomp was in keeping with Clara's opinion of the properly furnished sleeping apartment IL showed personality" ln the cotton covered sofa and dressing table. Both coverings were wash able and so were the slips for the sofa eush- ions. All were plain in color. The walls were hard finished, plain palo-biue color below the holding, while the wall above and the ceiling were light cream. The woodwork and the furniture were to be pale green, the draperies being of the same shade as the lower walls. The frames for sofa and 0ress lrR table could be ln construction as rough as the most binarre taste could desire, yet they could be made by the house carpenter, and therefore be of the Eze wanted; or they could be built in like the table shown at the side window, and stained the same color as the rest of the woodwork. The rug shown would be of grass or mating. The picture frames and mold.ng should be of the same color as the woodwork. The rug, of courae should correspond with the rest of the room in design and color. Four beds would cost $40, the mattresses $32 and the springs S32; four crex grass rugs, 332, while the chairs, draperies tables and bureaus would take all of the remaining sSo of the $500 allowance. As the figures given were for the single ar- ticles and at retail, liberal discount could be obtained upon the price of the articles mentioned if bought all together. The possi- bllltes for inexpensive built-ln furniture were also great In this sort of q house. and If taken advantage of would bring the ex- pense much lower than the figure mentioned without increasing the building expense ma terally.

one for the dining room one for the hall and two for the living room, would cost SIP, at SIS each. The material for the hang ings at the doors and windows would not cost more than $s and could be hemmed by Clara. cotton stair strip could be had for $2, making the total cost, outside of pictures, bric-a-brac, books, dishes, &c., $295.
 When the hall and dining roc n had been decided upon and the cost of furnishing the first floor approximately determined Tom showed the drawing which he had prepared for the living room. In the first place. he called attention to the purposes of the summer house. It was, first of all, Intended as a retreat where the warm days could be spent, secluded from the scorching rays of the sun, and 1t should present, as far as possible, the cooling Influence of quiet and deeply shaded nook in the forest, where no glaring contrasts of color or form are found. It should be the first thought of the builder to create this atmosphere and to maintain It in the laying out and furnishing of therooms. In the design presented as a suggestion for furnishing the living room every detail was carefully prepared to meet the requirements of the summer home. The furniture was to be fumed oak and the floor

Love Of A Lover.

Once upon time there was young man who was, quite naturally, in love with young woman, and fattered himself not only that she reciprocated but that he had the affection of her father and mother, and also of her little brother
 To use his own expression, he believed that be was solid with the entire family" even including the aunts But, alasi he found that he was wrong In his conclusion, for though he was lover he had not the love of the father, for the old gentleman greatly surprised him early one evening by demand Ing that his attentions to the daughter cease and that he leave the house not to return.

In town becomes famous caterer, especially to the masculine taste. Tho third short skirt will be of linen, pique or madras, per haps forming part of the regulation shirt waist suit. This Is invaluable for the morn ing shopping tour, for the summer girl in town has innumerable opportunities to fol- low up bargain sales.
 A smartly trimmed linen suit, with lace or embroidery, will serve for trips to the conn try club, and for evenings at home she will have dimlties, lawns or 0rgandies with col larless or low bodices and half sleeves, which give her the real summer girl appearance. Something hlmy and dainty like all lace or net, made after the pattern of the restaurant dinner gown seen at smart restaurants dur Ing the winter season, with a high necked bodice, will be used for the summer night dinner at riverside or park cafes In all these frocks she carefully avoids the appear ance of being overdressed, and remembers that she will not wear them on a boardwalk or dress parade or at a hotel hop.
 Her underwear is selected with great care and in liberal quantities. Batistc or fine cambric she wears next to her skin, instead of gauge, as 1t clings less and Is cooling to irritable skins. A tiny corset cover, worn under the corset; drawers with full deep founces and the drop skirt which comes with her dress furnish all the essentials In under wear, the rufaes on the drawers taking the place of short skirt
 The RestfuI Bath.
 Another hint offered by the professional woman Is the use of witch hazel in the bath water This is an invaluable remedy for prickly heat and all skin irritations peculiar to hot weather, and acts as tonic to flesh and nerves Lemon juice Is infinitely better for the skin in summer than complexion To- tions, and soap should be used advisedly. The skin is particularly sensitive In summer. and highly eolored pcrfumed soaps are more than ordinarily dangerous at thls time. Swollen feet are relieved by a bath in salt water.
 The Hair.-The hair should be given much attention In summer. al heat, precipitation and the fine dust which fills the air in hot weather all conspire against woman's crown of glory. Hair culturists-and be 1t known that hair culturist Is not a hair dresser-claim that summer .s their best friend, sending them innumerable patients when cool weather betrays the rava9es which heat and precipitation have worked in once fury locks
 The hair should be shampooed at least once week In summer and dried thoroughly in
