dinouS tuckings, ruchings, etc, which
form the dominant note Of so many de-
signs, but in amateur fingers chaos
emily simple process and an ugly mud
died appearance only reward much
anxious, wasted work.
Fortunately this seasons modes adapt
themselves kindly to simplicity where
necessary, especially where skirts are
concerned. The suitability of the real
ly full skirt (not the eased model gored
to reduce the size of the wais) to mus
Inns and kindred materials needs no
demonstration, while the manner in
which they submit to cleansing proc
esses is a matter for congratulation.
In the sketch the skirt is pictured
bearing six small tucks divided in
groups Of three by a deep band Of lace
insertion, guipure or broderie Anglaise,
according to taste and circumstances.
In cutting it is a good plan to allow
good four inch turning at the bottom Of
each gore, which, after the seams are
pressed, can be stitched up into a hem
for nothing in unlined skirts equals
a simple broad hem in the important
matter of the bottom edge, and in this
special example it not only is the cas-
lest method, but likewise adds to the
prettiness of the whole as Stimulating
a wide tuck. The tucks should be all
run (after the seams are stitched) in
the same direction and with the upper
part of each toward the worker.
The bodice at first sight seems a more
complicated affair, but ON closer &C
quaintance it will be found to work
out simply enough. Most prominent in
its construction is the long shouldered
yoke, which, slightly pointed at back,
is continued down the front to the
waist, plastronwise, the muslin being
everywhere simply gathered on to it.
The sleeves are of the particular long
elbow length, so pronounced a feature
of such frocks this season Though. the
substitution of the ordinary bishop
sleeve for less smart wear would nat
urally be only a matter for individual
consideration, and they are set into
wide turn back cuff of the insertion,
edged with deep falling lace frills.

Summer Hygiene

Summer is the season OF health and
recuperation for those who properly
regulate their mode of living For
those who do not it is season OF dis
comfort.
Pure, healthful, light food that will
not stimulate heat production while
it properly nourishes and strengthens
the body and brain is the great es-
sential.
1t is conceded that the best of all
foods for summer diet are the quickly
made -four foode-hot biscuit, TO Is,
buildings, cakes, mullins, etc, such
as are made with baking powder.
A most excellent household bread is
also made with baking powder in
stead Of yeast. These, properly made,
are light, sweet, fine fl ivored, easily
digested, nutritious and wholesome.
Yeast bread should be avoided wser-
ever possible in summer, as the yeast
germ is almost certain in hot weather
To erment in the stomach and cause
troUbIe. The Royal Baking Powder
foods are untprmented, and mey be
eaten in thtir most delicious sta te.
viz, fresh and hot without fear of un-
pleasant results.
Alum baking powders should be
avoided at all times. They make
the food less digestible. When the
system is relaxed by summer heat
their danger is heightened.
The -four foods made with Royal
Baking Powder are the acme of per-
fection for summer diet. No decom-
position taxes place in their dough,
the nutrive qualities of the -four are
preserved and digestion is aided,
which is not the case with s0ur-yeast
bread or cakes.

were given Warren gore in Essex

How to Make IA Turkish Puafr.

To two quarts of strained tomatoes
and water add salt and pepper and let
boil. In the meantime wash one-half
pound of the large Carolina rice until
the water runs off clear and put that
and one-quarter Of pound Of butter
in a spider while wet and keep stirring
1t until the rice begins to swell and
takes a golden color. Then turn it into
the boiling tomato water cover it
closely and set it on a moderately hot
part Of the range for twenty-five min.
utes. 1t must not be stirred nor al
lowed to burn, but no water need be
added If the proportions are observed.
When done put two ounces of butter in
the spider and allow it to become gold
en-. Turn the rice out into a mound on
a platter and pour the melted butter
over it. If directions are carefully fol
lowed every kernel of rice will be sep

The sunburn that is acquired from
sea bathing is as painful and serious
as any such indiction can be. A ply.
sician says it is a mistake to use for
this or any burn from the suns rays
creams and oils. Much better is a. free
application of witch hazel, which not
only heals but hardens the skin, and
thus acts as both curative and proven

Eartbouakes in England

Two earthquake shocks were felt early
yesterday morning in Derbyshire, Not
ti~nghamshire, and Lincolnshire. The
residents of many towns were awakened
by their houses shaking, furniture shift
ing and bells ringing. The disturbances
were accompanied by a rumbliDg sound.
There was great alarm, but no damage
was done, so far as known. As an il
lustration of the sharpness OF the shocks
the officials of H%ornthorpe's coiliery, in
Derbyshire, believed there had been an
explosion. They descended the pit,
where a few men were employed in re-
pairing the works. They found the men
safe, but greatly alarmed. A large part OF
the population o Leeds, Sheffield and
York we're awakened at lao. Their
houses shook for four seconds. A police
inspector who. was writing in his office at
Retford was thrown from his stoo'. The
vibration seems to have travelled from
east to west. 1t conceded with a CON-
plete change in the weather from dry
and cold to warm and rainy.
