FLOWING VEIL CONDEMNED.

It is said that the flowing veil,
which has been so popular, is to De

apparel which has added to the Deau-

condemned at the National Milliners
convention in Chicago. No woman
who expects to be considered in style
will wear anything but closely-ntt-

fit her eyes, complexion and shape OF
her face.

RECIPES.

Ounce Jelly.-Wash the fruit; save
all the nice parings and seeds; cook
for an hour or more in more water
than will cover them; then run them
through the colander and let them sit
until next day. or until the fruit sub
stance has settled; now throw off the
clear juice through a thin muslin bag
and set on the fire; when boiling well
add one pint of sugar to one pint of
juice and boil until it rolls off the
spoon: fill the jelly cups and let them
set by the stove or any warm place
couple of days without covers, so as
to evaporate any water if the jelly is
not stiff enough.
Sweet Toast.-Cut four slices of
bread from a stale loaf and trim off
crusts. Lay them in deep dish. pour
over a teacupful of milk with two
Jumps of sugar dissolved. Leave five
minutes, then drain; fry a golden
brown in butter. Pace on a very hot
dish. put spoonful of jam on each
slice and serve very hot. This is

His inner self bellies!

With purpose high and true,
When the passions of youth surged
DER me
And the world was strange and new.
Where the flero-soul rejoices
I would play the hero's part;
Nv ears were attuned to the voices
That speak to the poets heart.
I would conquer place in story
With soul unsmirched by sin:
Ny head should be crowned with
glory,
My heart be pure within.
But the hour that should have crown
ed me
Cast all high hope adown,
And the time of trial found me
A sinner, coward, clown.

The coward whose sinews failed,
The poet who worshipped Beauty,

cULTIvATING DIsHRAGs.

A novel enterprise, that of raising
dishrags, is being exploited by num-
Der of Southern California horticuI-
turists, who received the inspiration
for the scheme from Charles Richard
son, whose gardens in Pasadena are
becoming famous for their remark
abe 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 two-story
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.
are not only ornamental, but they
bear in profusion a 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

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.
TIE round cut which makes the
skirt escape the ground consistently
around the hem is considered admir-
able for the smart little day froclSs of
wash fabrics, such as chambray, fig
ured lawn. dotted muslin and flow
cred plumetis.
In truth, it is too awkward in its
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 orr 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-slSirted 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 tribute to vanity that is almost
imperative if one would be good to
look at.

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 meals 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
Darken 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.
As soon as the lamp is lighted in
the evening set it in 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.

ADVANTAGES OF SUNSHINE.

The Importance of admitting sun
light into our dwellings can not be
too highly estimated. Every house

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
healthy condition of the body. 1t is
misfortune that sun bath costs moth
ing, for if it did it would be more
highly priced. There is no doubt that
people who arr 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. few min
utes in the fresh air and bright sun
shine is better tonic than people
realize.

PICTURESQUE BRIDALs.

Matrimony has been very fashion
able the past summer in England,
and the wedding ceremonies particu
larly picturesque, says the Brooklyn
Eagle. Reports of several of these
have drifted over the sea. At one
wedding there were six bridesmaids
gowned in ivory mousssline de sole,
with directoire coats of cream gui
pure, chiffon fichus and French blue
waist belts. Their picturesque hats
were trimmed with La France roses
and pale blue ribbon, and they car
ried bouquets of pink roses. Pink
and blue appears to be favorite COM
bination this season. It was the
co,or scheme at a fashionable we'd
ding where the bridesmaids wore
ivory silk wolfe over glace silk, with
tran parent yokes of gathered chif-
fon. fichus of wolfe, trimmed with
lace, and deep belts of pale blue and
pink ribbon, while across the shoul-
ders were worn stoles of combined
pale blue and pink chiffon. Their
hats were of white crinoline,
trimmed with pink sweet peas, pale
blue ribbon. and tulle. Each carried a
bouquet of sweet peas tied with pale
blue ribbon, and wore blue pendants
of French enamel, set with pearls, the
gifts of the bridegroom.
At third wedding the bridesmaids
were dressed in Powered silk muslin
over blue silk, and wore high
crowned hats of blue chiffon, trimmed
with pink roses. Green and pink
were prettily contrasted in the cos
tunes of the maids attending an.
other fair bride, their frocks being of
ivory wolfe with pale green chiffon
fichus and sashes, and hats of green
chiffon trimmed with pink roses. In
many instances the brides wore wed.
ding wells which were family heir
looms. This fashion of handing down
wells is becoming popular, and seems
to be taking the place of the family
christening robes which formerly
served for several generations.
