With purpose high and true,

cULTIvATING DIsHRAGs.

A novel enterprise, that of raising
dishrags, is being exploited by num-
Der of Southern California horticul-
turists. who received the inspiration
for the scheme from Charles Richard
son, whose gardens in Pasadena are
becoming famous for their remark
able productions. Mr.. Richardson has
successfully raised many growth new
to American soil, and this year is ex.
ceeding all his previous triumphs by
raising thousands of dishrags.
Last year Mr.. Richardson's string
beans, which measured forty-three
inches in length, created stir, but
dishrag vines, Irvine about orange
trees, palms, evergreens and peach
trees, and peek in at the twostory
windows, bid fair to win the cham
pionship from the beans.
These dishrags, or vegetable
sponges, as they are sometimes called,
are indigenous to Africa, but now it
has been demonstrated that they will
thrive in this country they are bound
to become a popular production.
The graceful. well foliaged vines
are not only ornamental, but they
bear in profusion fibrous sponge,
that is eminently useful for bathing
as wei as for securing pans and ket-
ties. Imagine picking dishrags in
ones garden just as one would picx
blackberries or imagine having vines
all laden with dishrags clamberins
over ones kitchen windows, so that
all one needs to do is to stretch out
an arm and pull one in. Such an ar
rangement would be much easier than
going to the ragbag or buying dish
rags of stores.
These curious vegetables assume
the form and appearance of cucum-
bers, and hang on the vines until
their green coats become brown and
dry like parchment. At this stage
they are ready to harvest. After they
are picked the brown coat is removed,
and an extremely strong and COM
pact fibrous sponge is revealed.

TO RENovATE A BLOUSE.

Almost everyone owns silk blouse
Or two past the stage of respecta-
bility, yet entirely too good to be
thrown in the rag-bag. Just what to
DO with them is a puzzle. A good
plan is to use the old waist for a
foundation and cover it with a very
lacy. open piece of black grenadine.
The combination in itself is eff
fective enough without the use of fur.
;hlar ornament. and if more trimming
s desired a ribbon garniture. chou
If chiffon the color of the silk, some
medallions, or gold or silver sequins
scattered over the grensdine care
aessly, will be the best to use. Again.
I the ancient garment is a grenadine
skirt or waist. it may be freshened by
Using colored Or white sateen for the
foundation.
An old skirt could be made into a
modish blouse in this way and even
The old lace or grenadine waist with a
new lining will look like another gar
nent just home from the modiste.

TO BE COMFORTABLE AT HOME

The great secret of being comfort
able at home, and making the other
members of the family at ease, is
cleanliness. Keep the rooms free
from dust, exclude strong sunlight.
and you will have delightfully."- cool
house during the hot days, while in
the winter air your rooms as much
as possible, and always have the sun
in your room at least for one hour.
Never allow any food to remain uncov-
cred in dining room or pantry any
length of time after meas and you
will never have flies in the house.
Never leave remnants Of food ex-
posed that you intend for cat or dog.
Feed at once or cover their food up.
Keep your dining room and pantry
open a few inches most of the time
Darker your rooms and pantry when
not in use. If there should be any
flies they will go to the window when
the room is darkened, where they are
easily caught, killed or brushed out.
the evening set it in a shallow milk
pan in about four inches of water, and
if there should be any millers in the
room they will drop into the water.
Try to make your house as clean
and airy as possible, and no matter
how many people call they will also
leave with sense of having been re.
freshed. The housewife should al
ways wear light garments in the sum-
mer and dark dresses in the winter,
which look neat and appropriate.

were trimmed with La France roses
and pale blue ribbon, and they car

and blue appears to be favorite COM

co-Or scheme at a fashionable we'd
ding where the bridesmaids wore
ivory six wolfe over glace silk, with
transparent yokes of gathered chif-
fon. f1chus of wolfe, trimmed with

served for several generations.
PLACE FOR SHORT SKIRTS.
Every one seems to wear the short
skirt, young and old; the former even
to dances. 1t is matter of congratu-
lation that our women have not yet
misplaced it. as many of them did the
separate dress blouse, and wear it to
places of Importance. They keep it
in the wardrobe when they are going
to weddings and garden parties.

skirt escape the ground consistently

cred plumetis.
In truth, it is too awkward in it's
fullness to hold up; no pair of hands
can gracefully accomplish this, no
matter how skilful they may be with
other skirts. The fullness falls away
from the grasp and dips and trails
along the ground at dozen points.
We modern women must follow the
ways of our grandmothers and chop
off these skirts unless they are for
dancing floor and diner table, says
the Pittsburg Press.
This fashion is an immense saving
on the laundry, for it keeps the hens
free from much ground soil.
Surely it is the day of the good
looking shoe and stocking. Without
them the short-skirted woman is not
as attractive sight as she might be.
The fiat heel should always give place
to the Cuban with this cut of skirt;
it is a tribute to vanity that is almost
imperative if one would be good to
look at.

Dark red, copper color, mastic and

ADVANTAGES OF SUNSHINE.

The Importance of admitting sun
LIGHT into our dwellings can not be
too highly estimated. Every house
should BE- built, if possible, in a way
by which sunlight may force itself
through during some portion of the
day. A sun bath is enc of the most
important factors in producing a
healthy condition of TIE body. 1t is a
misfortune that sun bath costs moth
ing, for if it did it would be more
highly priced. There is no doubt that
people who are exposed to the sun
and live out of doors are much
stronger and more healthy than those
who are compelled to labor in close
rooms. Indeed, good health is quite
as much dependent on sunlight as on
pure air. How depressing are the
dull, sunless days! No matter how
much fatigued physically, a few min
utes in the fresh air and bright sun
shine is better tonic than people
realize.
