fon is shirred and ruched. Satin is
buried in appliques, or delicately
painted. To match the Dresden rib
bons so popular for sashes, bows and
choux, come parasols, each of whose
eight sections is woven in design
showing flowers or fruits in graceful
bouquets and punches. And the real
ly remarkable fact amid this riotous
confusion of sunshades, is that, ex-
cept in extreme cases and designs,
they are within the means of the
average woman who can afford to
plan a representative summer ward
robe.
At all the up-to-date importing
parlors, summer costumes are shown
complete to gloves, hosiery and hat,
and after making the rounds of these
attractive shops, woman realizes
that the parasol must be en- suite.
For example, a blue and white
checked shirt-waist suit, trimmed with
straps of plain blue silk, stitched in
white, was shown with a rough white
sailor, trimmed with dark blue ruch-
ing and stiff quills, and a parasol
that cleverly reproduced the effect Of
the costume and hat. The ferrule
was hidden by a dark blue ruching,
next to which came the plain cover
of blue and white checked silk in the
same size as the check in the dress.

band of plain, dark blue silk, stitched

BRINGING SKIRTS Up-To-DATE

The woman who has a good cloth
skirt of light weight. such as voile,
etamine or nuns yelling, left from last
summer can bring it up to the mark
of prevailing fashions by the dexter
Gus adjustment of taffeta or peau de
sole trimmings.
If she is tall woman and desires a
from alternate strips of the cloth and
yoke effect she can build the yoke
tafeta. If panel effects are desired,
the stitched bands Of silk can be so
laid as to simulate panels.
But the great point of divergence
between last seasons skirt and this
years lies in the vent: Last year the
vent was fastened by well-hidden
hooks and eyes. This year it is COM
pletely covered by box-pleated eff
feet
To secure this effect in the made
over skirt, lay on box pleat of the
same silk used in trimming, narrow
at the waist line and haring slightly
toward the hem of the skirt. This is
fastened tight to the skirt, and can
not be detected from. the same effect
in cloth. Nor does it give a botched
or made-over effect to the garment,
because of the general prevalence of
silk trimmings in every imaginable

Wash Petticoats- With Linen Frocks.

From Paris come the newest things
in wash petticoats to be worn with
linen frocks. They are made from
chambrey or batiste in pale blue, pale
pink, lavender and tan color. The
upper part of the skirt fits snugly, by
the aid of a yoke, but the founce is
very full and bouffant, being designed
to assist the flare of wash frocks The
hounces are a mass of handwork in
the old-fashioned' punched patterns
popular in the early sixties.
Holes are punched in various sizes,
then button-hole stitched heavily
with sprawling flower designs encir-
cling the holes The pale colors, pink
blue and lavender, are embroidered and
stitched in white linen floss, the favor
ite decoration for the tan-colored
skirts being a striking combination Of
white and black.

the gent in the second floor back If
Jenny invited few friends in for the
evening, she found that the young
ladies in the third floor front had two
young men in the parlor and Jenny
and her friends adjourned to the din

And there was Jenny and Harry,
He joined wheel club in the summer
and social club in the winter and
his clothes. But Jenny couldn't get
away so easy. 1t was dishes to help
wash at night, ironing to do, and if
she wanted to go to the theatre or
trolley riding, Emily Ann would look
at her reproachful and remark that
children didn't care how their parents
shaved.
"And there was Jenny and Harry
paying the same board as the folks
in the first floor front and the back
parlor, sleeping in beds that their
mother never had time to make, eat
ing what happened to be left over,
and hearing nothing but complaints
from the mother they were willing to
support within the limit of their earn

And Jenny had right to her even

hours a day at the store, on her feet

with eyes that was just naturally hun

night we found that the folks in the
back parlor had lit out while Emily

two weeks board. And Jenny she
just put her head on my shoulder

Rubba Munrna Of Jamaica

One of the queerest of the many
queer superstitions in the West Indies
is that of the "Rubba Mumma," or
river mother, of Jamaica While the
colored people laugh to scorn the idea
Of ocean mermaids, many of them
firmly believe that water nymphs in
habit every fountain-head of the
mountain streams which are so num-
erous in their island.
In sthe old slavery days the sources
of such streams were worshipped and
sacrifices offered to the "Rubba Mum
ma" The slaves on the plantations
used to persuade their overseers or
masters to sacrifice an OK at the foun-
taln-head of the stream which turned
the wheel of the sugar mill, so that
drought might be averted. Unless the
Rubba Munma" was propitiated, the
slaves cOntended, she would not send
down enough water to turn the mill
| On most of the sugar estates a bull

| pose.

She comes out of the water at noon

F ALL the seasons accessories

~ son of extravaganza in small
things-nothing will prove
more tempting to the average woman
than the dainty array of parasols for
any and all occasions.
There are parasols for the woman
who travels and the woman who stays
at home; parasols for the real sum-
mer girl who loiters on beach or in
mountain retreat; parasols for subur-
banites; parasols for the very rich, 10
whom real lace and hand painting
seem essential, and parasols for the
woman of smaller purse who still
revels in the complete and harmo-
NOUS costume.
Parasols there are, too, for the
shirt-waist suit, which are prim, de-
mure, neat; just as circumspect as the
others, but a trifle more elegant, and
they are ready for the church or call
ing costume. Rioting in lace, ap-
plique and shirrings, they are ideal
for the garden party or the summer
wedding. And in smaller patterns,
but equally dainty of manufacture,
they come for the wee maid whose

varying delight to her proud mother

Pinked Ruching for Hats.

The girl who is undecided about
the trimming for her new sailor hat
may safely select the heavy, pinked
ruchings. These are easily made at
home from tafeta silk or velvet rib
bon, and may run around the crown
or across it. The girl who is willing
to take a little extra time in max
ing her toilet can have ruchings in
various tints to match her gowns. as
few stitches serve to fasten them in
place. For the sailor of ordinary size
fve-inch ruching is wide enough,
and plating is more effective than

n1Sh1ng ShOp, the making
Of ice cream, water ices and sherbets
at home is one of the simplest of all
culinary tasks. And with the once
tiresome and complicated process OF
making ones own ice cream so sim
plifed, there is no reason why every
woman keeping house should not
make her own frozen desserts.
There is one thing certain. The
woman who makes her own ice cream
knows what she is eating. Ice cream
is an inexpensive dessert, and costs
less when made at home than it does
when bought at the manufacturer
1t used to take hours and hours to
make and freeze ice cream. Now it
can be made and served in an hour.
Plain ice cream with vanilla flavor
ing is excellent. 1t is also delicious
when made with chocolate, coffee or
pistache, but the most delicious Of
all creams are those made with fruits
Of these the strawberry cream takes
the lead, but peach ice cream, one
made with bananas, and red rasp-
berry ice cream are all delicious, re-
freshing and nourishing.
The American ice cream is better
than any other; it is Just pure
cream, sweetened and favored, then
frozen. French ice cream is really
only frozen custard, being made Of
eggs and milk sweetened and cook
ed before freezing AS a rule the
French creams contain no cream.
TO make a nice, plain vanilla ice
cream, large enough for dinner for a
small family, take one quart of fresh
cream, sweeten it with two cupfuls Of
powdered sugar, and add two tea
spoonfuls of extract Of vanilla. Stir
this mixture rather gently with a
patent egg-beater. or with a small
cream whip, till the sugar is quite dis
solved; then put it into a patent freez-
ter, and freeze it according to the di-
rections, which always come with the
freezer.
1t is not necessary to wait till din
ner time to eat ice cream. There is
nothing more delicious or acceptable
on a warm summer day than dish
of ice cream at almost any hour.
French Coffee Ice Cream.-Grind
two ounces of coffee quite coarse, and
stir it into a pint of rich cream in
a double boiler over the fire. When
the cream comes to boil, remove ii
from the stove and let it stand covered
till it is quite cold. Then beat pound
of powdered sugar to a cream and also
! the yolks Of six eggs. Stir in pint
of cream. Put this mixture in a dou-
BILE boiler over the fire, and when il
comes to the boiling point strain the
cream with the coffee through fine
strainer into the mixture over the
fire. Then remove the kettle from the
fire, and when the cream is cold freeze
| it according to the directions on the
| freezer.

Some of the SMILES we use in Eng

example, "A voice like a silver bell, :"

SPECIAL GOWNS FOR BRIDGE.
In England, where bridge whist is
played among the high and the low,

number of wealthy women in America
have ordered special gowns for
bridge parties. AS bridge usually fol-

Of these functions, with a few slight
deviations. For bridge, there must
be no long, dangling sleeve tc inter

be built from the elbow to the shoul-

For the dinner-bridge gown, low
decollete IS exceedingly bad form, and

round neck are preferable. Soft, cling
