Now is the Time
To replenish certain departments of the
linen household, so that when the various
members of the family return in the au-
tumn everything will be in perfect order.
Deficiencies IN all departments of the
hCusefurnishing should be supplied.
A good way to keep up is to add each
yeac set of linen, a pair of sheets and a
pair of slips for each bed Old sheets are
invaluable and should be put to use as old
cloths for cleaning and for dust covers
Table cloths that worn may be used
as meat cloths and luncheon covers, and the
tinA qualities will come in for cleaning the
cut glass and polishing windows. while
some table cloths that are past using for
that purpose will make a set of napkins
for everyday use.

Care of Your

Care of Your
Clothes will stamp your innate neatness.
The weather. women are immaculate in
this matter, and If they who can repenish
at will take the best of care of each part
OF their wardrobe it Is far more essential
that those having but few clothes should
keep them in the best condition.
Half the garments that look shabby are
not worn out but are merely not properly
cared for.

how to suspend garments to the best adj
vantage observe the way shopkeepers han
die them.
A supply of coat hangers may be had
cheap, but remember that hanging does only
for heavy fabrics. Light garments should
be folded in order to avoid stringiness.
Skirt bags are luxury, but may be made
easily of great square sacks of White cot
ton, longer than the skirts, and slipped over
without crushing.
If one would supply fragrance and fresh
ness to the skirt suspend sachet In the
center.
When taken off the skirt should be brush

dry cloth. Clothes should not be hung

Shoes are preserved in shape and crack
and break far less If they have boot trees
for their protection. 1t is a matter of econ
omy to keep several pairs of shoes In use
at once. When worn internationally they
do not have a chance to dry out, and con-
sequently become rotten, and it is at the
same time better for the feet to expert
ence a change of shoe. OIL should be en-
ployed to remove soil and water should
never be used. Slippers should be stuffed
with paper.
The Practice
OF self-culture should be proportonate,
and every one should cultivate self-culture.
The average man or woman cult1vates
one side of their nature to a high degree.
This Is easy to do. Indeed, 1t is the more
natural way, and at the same time the
more unnatural
1t really is difficult to live truly and COM

One would imagine that living in the one
little tenement day in and day out, thinking

caring for it, that we could regulate every
impulse and meet every act in the manner
best fitted to Its demands. But far be 1t
from that. We. most of US, are at some
time baffied by the smallest things. We are
strong, SO strong, that we can bear every
thing but temptation, and our temptations
are so different we view each other with

Palms and Ferns

Palms and Ferns
Need much summer care. Usually during
the summer there is a necessity for free
ventilation. This summer few warm nights
have relieved this necessity In Its fullest
degree. Nevertheless, some is necessary
Without 1t there is too much condensed
moisture on the foliage for the welfare of
the plants. and the growth is in danger OF
becoming soft and drawn.
Careful watering should be INDUCED In
this season, for there are many cloudy
days, with the induced humidity of the at
mosphere in which the plants do not dry
out so rapidly as may be expected in the
early summer. Under such conditions fun
gold troubles are likely to appear This Is
particularly true of greenhouses. for there
is to be found more or less rotten wood. and
as a matter of prevention 1t is well to
sprinkle Stacked lime under the benches or
among the plants.

The Suggestion
That a room should be reflection of ones
self is more than worth giving heed to- it Is
worth acting upon. Whenever we enter a
room we receive certain, vibrations. attract

from characters we meet.
There are two aspects to the individuality
OF a room arrangement, and these are the
ger eral and the personal and these should
pleasantly agree.
- Every room should portray personal
note. Even room in boarding house
may be made like the individual occupying
1t, which is certainly the elimination of art.
This does not necessarily mean that the
person whose temperament is turbulent
she uld manifest this in room arrangement,
or that a mild, delicate person should have
housefurnishngs to match, but 1T does mean
that the room should be decisive and char
acteristic In making them more beautiful
and better adapted to the person who dwells
therein.

Little Molds of Foie Gras In Aspic.-If
preferred the molds for these can be lined
and filled UP with either aspic cream or
good meat jelly. This last is easily made
by dissolving fine leaf gelatin In the pro-
portion of full ounce to every three and
half gills of wine clear consomme 1t Is
then used to line the mold just as # is set
ting. When 1t is firm put a cube of foie
gras truffe in each, fill up with the lust
liquid meat jelly or aspic, and set aside
preferably on fce) till firm. Pack as they
are, only unmolding when wanted to serve
For the aspic cream the proportions are
one part of cream to two of liquid aspic
say two tablespoonful of cream to a gill
of jelly, or a gill of cream to half a pint of
aspic, and so on in these proportions.
Cream Panachee.-For this any jelly and
stiffened custard or fruit bavoroise mixture
to the taste can be used, the method being
always to line the mold with the jelly Sc
lected and then fill 1t when this casing is
firm, with alternate layers Of the jelly and
the stiffened custard or cream or bavoroise
mixture. Expense may be kept down by
using a corn flour custard made with a
tablespoonful of corn -four and the yolks
of one or two eggs to each pint of milk
with sugar and almond or other kind OF
f1avoring essence to taste, and stffened with
q good ounce of fine leaf gelatin. The re-
suit is pretty and most attractive sweet
at a small cost.
Fruit Macedoine.-Ths can either be
served in the usual way. or it can be served
a la gelee. In this last have ready
some nice lemon or liquor favored jelly,
rather stiff, and just liquid; stir in the
fruit-the more kinds the better-and If
used fresh, previously marinaded In sirup
favored with lemon juice liquor. and
mold. Set aside on Ice until perfectly firm
before packing. and do not unmold till at
the picnic grounds. This "macedoine de
fruits la gelee" is often served turned
out into large bowl piled UP roughly and
garnished with whipped cream.
Jelly la Russe.-For this divide some
good clear lemon jelly into three parts:
flavor one with glass of curacao and
color 1t with drop or two Of liquid yellow.
Flavor another with cherry brandy; color
1t with little carmine, and leave the third
lot plain. Two must be kept just tepld

set, when 1t Is nodded; then another por-
