rHE LArE sENAroR HoAR.


THE late Senator Hoar was man
4 whose personality was made up
of many contradictions. Yet In spite Of
them he was, says Joseph NJ. Rogers.
In his intimate article on Senator Hoar
In the November number Of the Book
lovers Magazine, "a great character
who has had few equals in our public
life" 1t is to the everlasting credit
Of the Bay state that she kept such a
man at Washington for thirty years
as her representative. Although the
Senate Of the United States has been
called "the rich mans club" money
could never have secured so pure a
patriot, so able a statesman, so good
a man as George Frisbie Hoar, vet So
poor in this worlds goods that. as Mr..
Rogers says: Il once overheard him
say with the utmost franlness that n,
could not make small purchase be-
cause he had found that his bank ac.
count was overdraWn. and he mus
send his salary TO make il balancer
The public service was a passion viii
him. and In IL he found ample com
pensation for his unselnsh devotion 6,
which he died a poor man.

man whose purse is also slender. A
writer in the Ladies World submits
the following useful suggestions about
It.:
1t is in the making of dainty under
wear that handkerchiefs are ideal.
Monogram corset covers, silk corset
covers and pett1coat founces are
among the things most commonly made
in the underwear line. Since the de-
mand became SO great In this direction
handkerch1efs have been made on pur-
pose for this work with hemstitched
edges and row of beading inside.
A monogram handkerchief waist is
made of three small hemstttched bor-
dered handkerchiefs, using two for the
fronts and one for the back, curvin2
under the aT1nhole to give the proper
shape Two inch clover leaf insertion
was used for joining the handkerchiefs
under the arm These handkepchiefs
are used Oh the straight instead of bias.
Beading and lace were used for trim
ming, With a white dotted wash rib
bon drawn through the former. The
initial letters of the owner of this
dainty corset cover are applied on the
fronts Of the waist Shape is given
to the back Of the garment by FIVE tiny
tucks at the waist line The bottom
border of one handkerchief was cut
off and attached to the hemstitched
edge in front, giving a box plat effect
and thus closing the waist with good
tapping.
Three men"s white hemstttched silk
handkerchfefs were used to make
dainty waist which has the name of
the owner embroidered on the right
hand side These handkerchfefs are
used on the bias one point going to
the center OF the back, one to each side
in front and one to the top tn front,
which is split to the bottom. Each
bias hemsdtched edge is Joined by
beading Of heavy white crochet SILK.
A row of this beading finishes the side
of each front The beading is also
edged with lace. One row of beading

wash satin ribbon were drawn. Two
strands of ribbon were used to run

\, Even mems ham1keTchfefs are brought
into reQuisition to fashion kimonos,
combing jackets and aprons. The par
ticular one illustrated is of white silk
with a red border, and just six hand
kerchiefS were used ID making it.
Nor are bandannas to be despfsed
for this purpose, although, Of course,
they are much cheaper. Nevertheless
they are effective Four Of the large
ten cent ones, which come in either red
Or blue. are pretty for cumbing jackets
One handkerchief is used for the
sleeve, being set in cnrnerwise and fall
ing over the arm gracefully. Less full
ness is allowed for the combing jackets
than the kimonos.
Two mems handkerchtefs with a
buff, blue and white border and golden
brown lines were used for making the
dainty little apron Two box plaits,
with one side plait on each side, fits it

chief was split across to the center and

There are people who should never try

table as are demanded by the appetite.
! The heavy dinners and desserts that
were greatly enjoyed during the cold

and should be followed by food that
Is less heating, yet not less nourishing.
Soups of cream instead Of meat
| lighter desserts, less red meats and
more fish are among the changes call
ed for by Dame Nature herself.
Bisques of clam, of lobster, of peas,
asparagus or tomatoes are all delicious
and quite as nourishing as the heavy
soups made from beef and other meats.
Fish are now plentiful and are much
less heating than meats, although 1t is
not advisable for the meat diet to be
cut down too rapidly.
Salads, too, should be served daily,
and water cress, dandeiion, lettuce and
other green's may be used for this pur-
pose Ali are wholesome and es-
pecially so If served with a simple
French dressing.
Many housekeepers complain of the
trouble they have In mixing the French
dressing. Put the ingredients zone
tablespoonful of vinegar and three
tablespOonfuls Of oil, a saltspoonful
Of salt and quarter that amount of
mustard into a bottle Cork tightly,
then shake the bottle vigorously for
few minutes and you will have a per-

easiest way to mix French dressing.
The mayonnaise dressing is rather
more difficult to mix At least an hour
before you mix the dressing put into
the Ice chest the small bowl in which
you wish to mix it, a silver fork an
egg and the bottle Of oil. If everything
is not first made icy cold the dressing
may curdle. Take the yolk of one egg
and beat ii only until it is well broken
then add, drop by drop, the oil, stirring
rapidly all the time When the dress
ing thickens, the oil may be added

use care. When thick enough add

dressing is thin enough 1t should be

ways in series Of wide OF graduated

SUMMER FURNISHINGS.

Cool Looking and Comfortable Ar
ranGements For Porch and House.
A large degree of comfort in warm
weather depends upon the piazza space
that is available for fitting up as a sit
ting room When the porch opens from
a living room the interior furnishings
may be used In either place, with a few
extra pieces added for one or the other.
The most desirable rug for the floor is
one that is neutral in col0R, without re-
gard to its material, whether cotton,
3ute, cocoa mating, wood fiber or wool
Awnings or screens are necessary for
shutting out too intense sunlight from
the porch. They may contribute also
to the decoration If selected to harIno-
nize with the coloring of the exterior
Of the house The bright vanished
yellow of the Japanese screens may be
easily altered with two coats of out
door paint to accord with the house
ColOrS.
Furniture for the porch is made in
many different designs In willow, reed,
rattan, wicker, raf1a, mating. rustic
work and hickory. Only few Of
these, however, can safely be LETT to
the uncertainties Of the weather. The
living room to present a comfortable
appearance during the warm weather
should be relieved of an window dra-
perry except a thin lace or muslin that
will screen the occupants of the room
and soften the glare of light II these
curtains are arranged to slip easily
across the pole or rod they may when
necessary be swung entirely away
from the sash
