II OURTH of July favors which can
be made at home are now in or
der, for the woman who intends
preparing her own favors for a Fourth
of July affair must begin at once if
they are to lie easily made in time for
the holiday. Simple, chic and odd IA
vors are quite as charming for such
an occasion as elaborate and expen-
sive ones. The principal thing to- be
considered is that the favors bee not
like those to be had at all or most of
the shops, that they be new, pretty and
inexpensive.
First among these favors comes the
liberty bell, which stanch old emblem
of our national liberty has now been
reduced to the proportions of candy
or ice cream box. This bell does not
rightly come under the head of favors
made at home, because no one can
really make the bell itself. 1t may be
bought undecorated, however, and tied
with ribbons by the hostess. Bells of
tricolor tissue paper like the Christ
mas bells may also be made without
much difficulty to decorate a feast.
These, however, are not used for the
box bells, which must, Of course, be
hollow and stiff.
The liberty cap, which is shown in
the picture, is made into little PIN
cushion or sachet, and may be made
of bunting, silk, satin or paper in the
national colors.
The shield decorated box in the IL
lustration is for candy. The box Is a
white satin one and is hand painted.
Plain white satin boxes or paper ones
will of course be much less expen-
sive If one can do the decoration ones
self.
Cracker and cannon faVors are ex-
ceedingly neat and attractive this sea-
son. They open, and may be used for
bonbons or for cream. The cannon
and cracker favors are not expen-
siye when bought at the confectioner's,
and could not be made at home unless
one were particularly skillful in this
line.
Fan favors are perhaps more attrac-
tive than any other, especially as last
seasons fad for collecting all sorts of
small. Inexpensive fans Is raging more
fieroely than ever this season. The
fans can easily be made at home. They
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-25
FOR WASHING DAY ILLS

Washing day is the bugbear of the
housewife. The servants are cross, so
is the mistress, and the steam of the
boiling clothes penetrates to every cor
ner of the house. If the following prep
aration is used the clothes require lit
tie washing, and the scaldng and boil
ing Is entirely done away with.
Three quarts of boiling water. g.
pound bar of soap cut up into shavings,
one ounce of salaratus and half pint of
benzine, four ounces liquid ammonia
one ounce of concentrated lye. Dis
solve the soap in wafer before adding
other ingredients.
When the mixture is cold and firm
put one pint in tub cold water for the
bed and table linen, and one pint in
another tub for wearing apparel Soak
over night.
In the morning wash. and rinse
through one water, run through blu
ing water and hang out. Do not boil
or scald the clothes.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-25

may be made of stiff paper, tissue pa
per, silk, satin, etc. A simple SOU
venir fan of the day could be made by
decorating a white paper fan with the
national colors, having red and white
stripes for the lower half and a de-
sign of blue stars on a white ground
as a border. This decoration may be
painted on the fan if one is skillful
enough to do so, or stars and stripes
may be cut from colored paper and
pasted on. White gauze fans and
those of white paper or satin are also
attractive with a flag decoration, either
of one large flag or of two flags
crossed, painted across the center or
on the side sticks. An exceedingly at
tractive decoration for a Fourth of
July flag is also made of ribbon. Rib
bon work is very popular this year
on all articles of dress, and a fan trim
med with ribbon work, while calling
for quite a lot of work on the part of
a hostess would at the same time be
most acceptable souvenir.
This refers of course to the ribbon
work of narrow ribbon which has al
Los Angeles herald., 1905-06-25

most the appearance of embroidery,
but it would be quite simple and easy
to buy a little silk flag and applique it
to a fan If one did not care to take the
time for the more elaborate work.
New favors are also shown in tor
tcise shell hairpins and combs, attached
to which are stiff red, white and blue
bows, the idea being that each woman
guest shall put the pin or comb into
her hair, so that she will to this ex-
tent be in costume. There are also
sachets made of small American flags,
printed or embroidered, or ribbon in
three colors, with the stars, made also
of ribbon, in one corner. White satin
sachets also show the bird of liberty
applique and white satin boxes for
candy and ice cream have elaborate
designs of all manner of patriotic en-
blems painted or stamped on the COW
er. One very neat menu card for a
Fourth function has the word menu

1t is, perhaps, because so few flow

selves in both a desirable shade Of
blue and of red that the sweet pea is
hailed with delight as Fourth of
July decoration. Its bloom, besides,
Is in perfection on this great nation
al holiday Its piquant faced blossoms
appear so radiant in red, white and
blue that the rose is forgotten for the
moment and the heliotrope remains un-
plucked.
For the decoration of Fourth of July
dining tables the sweet pea is used
in many ways. One clever hostess has
planned this year to have large, low
bed of the flowers in the center Of her
table, arranged exectly in the design
and colors of the American flag. Then
as the guests leave the table the flag
will be broken up and each one will
carry off a bunch of the flowers in
one of the three colors. Still another
dining table this season will be deco
rated with a miniature battleship at
one end of the table and small for
tification at the other. Both of the
ornaments are of plated silver and
abundant in remarkable details Their

things to pick-one that will hang well,
have enough and not too much fullness,
and that while indicating any good
lines, can be so put together as to con-.
ceal any defects. The pleated skirt is
a popular and generally becoming style,
but the pleats should be caught down
for a short distance below the waist
line, and then if there is too much
fullness it must be cut away. Side
pleats are better than box pleats, and
there are a few accordion plated mod
els that for a time at least look most
charmingly attractive. but as may be
imagined, will not long retain their
beauty. A popular model is skirt
with wide double box plaits, trimmed
with lines of fancy braid. The waist
is also in the wide double box plaits,

merely of puff is not always becom-
ing, but it is next to impossible to
swim with long sleeves to a bathing
costume, and so long gloves, silk or
kid, are worn by those women who do
not go in for swimming, and yet wish
to be dressed according to the latest
edict of fashion and incidentally pre-
vent their arms from being sunburned
1t is the fashion to have the neck Of
the bathing dress cut low in front, but
again the question of sunburn comes
into notice and the chemisette Of white
serge, pique or silk which is so becom-
ing is worn, proving that, after all,
common sense is generally allowed to
play some part in the makeup of a
gown.

with the lines OF braid, while narrow
front of white pique with fancy but
tons and white turned over cuffs on the
puffed sleeves gives a distinctive touch
that is most attractive.
Should corsets be worn with bathing
costumes? Should waists be lined? are
two much discussed questions. To the
first the answer is always in the affirm
ative, unless in the case Of some un-
usually slight and undeveloped figure.
Bathing corsets simply give support
without compressing the figure, and
should not in any way interfere with
