gether along these lines and the result
is amazingly good.

THE USES OF OLIVE OIL.

There certainly is a suggestiveness of
salads and garden sauce in the use OF
Give oil, and yet II Is today the most
valuable acquisition to my lady's toilet.
Slightly perfumed, IT furnishes an excel
lent flesh food for women with skin
which lacks oil.
Olive oil is easily applied. and If the
pores are allowed to absorb il IN suffi-
cient quantity it yields a large amount
of nourishment to the entire body.
Taken as food, there is nothing more
fattenlng. or more easily !digested. While
at first there may be a dislike to the
taste, this is more a matter of the mag
nation than a fact. and soon wears it
self out However, a few grains of salt
and drop of lemon juice viii render IL
highly palatable. until It adjusts itself
to the taste in its natural state.
One way of consuming a quantity Of
the oil is by sprinkling il with a little
salt and eating It with bread as a child

persisted in. whether one is inclined to
like il at first or not, and methods Of

Pms, hooks. and eyes are the rlina-
ton OF nice laundry" said one OF
those good old colored women who bring
back my young ladies' linens with a
whif OF bergamot in the starch.
You wouldn't believe how many nice
ladies never think of sewing on a but
ton or tape. but send their laundry 10
me with torn Wristbands. and often
pins left in the garment"
With this the good old soul truJged to
window sill and brought back a paper
box filed with pins taken from the va
rious weeks washing done for women
in the departments. and even from those
with more time TO attend TO details.
She further bemOanco The advent Of
hooks as waist fasteners, saying that
she had had an entire laundry ruined
by the hooks on tie back OF a waist
rusting while the clothes were dampened
for ironing. Buttons and buttOnholes
seem to be out of date. she said, and
she expressed great sorrow Tor It.

Two shirt waist suits journeyed to
Newport the other day. One was built
OF pompadour wash lawn as sheer as it
could be.
The skirt was Of round length. just
even with the floor all the way around,
a garden party skirt. And the waist was
a very full round blouse, setting out well
in the front over the belt line. 1t but
toned frankly up the back with big pearl
buttons. and at the throat there was a
pin OF pearl to match.
The other was a soft taffeta in the
