Domestic Club.

Mrs. Henry Schaffer was the
hostess of the Domestic Club on
last Thursday afternoon, and once
more the history of Hooking Coun-
ty furnished an interesting theme
for the program. In answer to
the roll call, a number of the mem
bers responded with various selec-
tions, chosen from the ANNALS of
our county. Several very enter
tanning papers had been prepared,
and some of the most stirring
events in the history of our county
and the most thrilling experiences
of the early days were vividly por-
trayed. Mrs j. T. Sanderson's S
subject was Tragedies of Hooking
Count" land Mrs. W. d. Brandt
had paper on"The Pioneers of
Hooking County and the Trials of
early Days" BY request, Mrs.
Stallsmith read sketch of the or
ganization of the Club, which she
had given several years ago on a
program. Only few of the pre-
sent members then belonged, and
the paper was greatly enjoyed.
The hostess served an elegant
chicken supper at five O'Clock in
the dinning room, and was assist
ed by Mrs. George Schaffer, Mrs.
Ed Angle and Mrs. Harry Wright.

PARTISAN MATINEE ToouE.

with two prettily toned wings placed
downward at one side of the little "pill
box" Some of the latest shapes are
quite square or else the front Is
straight and gives an appearance of
squareness even when the hat Is round
ed Mt the back.
A charming example of this effect
Is deep yellow fancy straw resem-
bling somewhat palm leaf fan in
weave and shape, A bandeau lifts the
hat off the face and is covered with
soft folds Of pale yellow tulle toward
the. face. Inside the wide brlm, near
the edge, is two inch band of black
velvet. Covering what would be n
crown, but in this instance is more
like plateau, are large shaded Dijon
roses and their foliage Massed ut the
back, where the hat rounds up abrupt
ly, are more roses and loops of black
velvet ribbon. This model is very girl
ish and becoming.
The picture shows one of the new
est small matinee toqucs from Paris.
1t is of black neapolitan straw with a
brim composed of tea roses placed as
close together us possible. The osprey
Is white and stands gracefully upright
Mt one side of the front. Many of
these toques have punches of valley
lilies instead of the osprey.

DRESS OF PALE BLUE BATIsrE.

are cut in one. With these frocks goes
tiny bolero jacket, which is put on
for appearance more than protection.
A nice present for the girl who Is
graduating this June Is a three-quarter
length pongee coat to wear over the
Organdie frock. The plain character of
this coat is completely changed with u
bit Of embroidery about the collar and
cuffs. Some of the smartest of these
pongce coats have trimmings of bright
red silk braided in black and silver.
This Ornamentation gives an oriental
effect at slight expense.
Skirts on gowns not designed for
dressy occasions are much shorter than
they started out to be Mt the beginning
of the season. Indeed, some women
are wearing walking skirts as short
as the average schoolgirls.
The frock pictured is of finest pale
blue batiste. The skirt is trimmed
with lace, ruched top and bottom with
frills Of ribbon. This lace runs up the
skirt In graduated points trimmed with
bows of velvet ribbon. The bodice has
a deep pointed yoke and bolero effect
Of batiste edged with lace.

Surprise Party.

On last Friday evening, a de-
lightful surprise party was given
by q number of the Ladies of the
Maccabees and Others for Mrs.
Gus Heine. 1t had become known
that the birthday anniversary of
Mrs. Heine was on that date, and
the plan was carefully laid and
successfully carried out, being a
complete surprise to their hostess.
A jolly time was spent with finch
and other forms of amusement,
and Mrs. Heine las well as her
guests will long remember it as one
of the most delightful evenings
they ever enjoyed. A salad dish
was presented to the hostess by
Mrs. John Easterling in behalf of
her friends. The all important
feature of the festivities had not
been forgotten by the hand of sur
prisers, and lunch of ice cream
and cake was served, when the
games had been laid aside. At a
late hour the merry makers dis
persed, wishing Mrs. Heine many
more happy returns of the day,
and that they might enjoy other
such pleasant evenings together.

Three ISindn of nrcssers.

A clever woman has summed up her
sex who succeed in the art of dress in
three classes this wise: The good dress
ers, the clever dressers and the intel
lectual dresscrs, but of these last there
Is hopeless minority. Intellectual
dressing depends on ones power of i'm
aglnation, and of this inward and spir-
itual grace there is sad deficiency.
The lady should add to this the fat
pocketbook, which alone makes it pos
,ible to employ the dress artist to
think for her client and keep her in the
Intellectual path.-Boston Herald.

LAUNDRY LINES.

Dish towels should always be washed
by themselves.
A little borax in the last rinsing wa,
ter will make handkerchiefs easier to
iron and look better when done.
Two conveniences for ironing day are
the small iron, only about four inches
from tip to tip, for ironing lace and
embroidery and the pointed iron for
ironing gathers and shirt waist sleeves
In ironing handkerchiefs 1t Is useful
to remember that the middle should be
ironed first. To iron the edge first
causes the middle to swell out like a
balloon and makes 1t difficult to iron
satisfactorily.
A laundress recommends mclosine
knitted or crotched articles that are t.
be washed in bag during the whole
process OF washing and rlnsing, saying
this prevents the stretching of the
yarn, which gives the article the objec
tionable ''stringy" appearance,

ThirnbIe and Art,

A picnic supper was enjoyed on
Wednesday by the members of the
Club at the home of Mrs. VIM.
Cowell. All but two were present
and brought with them baskets,
well filed with the good things so
much enjoyed on such occasion.
Mrs. Cowell had her home de-
corated in cut flowers to make a
cherry welcome for her visitor,
but the most inyiting place was
the dining room with it's long
table. 1t is needless to say that
the merry bangueters had good
time. And all attribute much of
the afternoons pleasure to the
charming manner in which Mrs.
Cowell discharged her duties as
hostess.

Do not get discouraged about having
to wash dishes 800 days in the year
Dishes must be washed, and of all the
many duties that fall to woman's LOT
this seems to lie the most dislikcd. But
there Is an ideal way.
The chief things required to make II
a pleasure are care, order. plenty of
good, hot water ana stack of dry tea
towels, two dishcoths and large en-
ameled bowl. The dishes, when re-
moved from the table. must have each
of its kind put together. Put all the
cooking utensils on the range and fill
them with water until The time comes
to clean them.
Have recepticle in which to place
all the scraps that come from the dish
es, plates, etc. The most important
thing is to have plenty of hot water,
not merely warm. but hot, and use
some good soap in the water to make
your suds. 1t cleans the greasy meat
dishes and plates twice as quickly
Have your mops with handles for deep
mouthed jugs, and have nice dshcloths

evening at the home of Mrs. Ed.

DRESS HINTS.

Don't wear your walking dress in the
house.
Don't use cheap, poor ribbon in
millinery.
Don't on any account put u dress
away without brushing it.
Don't take bodice Off and put it
away Immediately. Lay it out to air.
Feathers uncurled by damp weather
are quickly dried by shaking over fire
in which salt has been thrown.
A simple device for fastening laces
at the top is to draw the loops the same
length as the ends and then knot them
tightly.
No one can be healthy who wears
tight shoes and high heels. The tight
shoes impair the circulation, while the
high heels strain the muscles of the
back and cause nervousness. The SEN
sible shoe has Il low. fiat heel.

Club presented Miss Florence
Bright with $40 as an expression
of their appreciation for the work
she did 1.-The past winter. Miss
Bright acted as instructless of the
classes, and the faithfulness with
which she attended to her duties
was worthy of the praise which
she received. She expressed her
thanks to the club for their gift
and also said her part in the years
work had given her much pleas
ure. The evenings which the
young women spent together will
not soon be forgotten. and it is the
hope of all that they will be con-
tinued psxt winter.

HOME DRESSMAkING.
An Important Point For the Amateurs
10 Rear In MUD.

An Important Point Fur the Amateur
10 Rear IN Mud.
An important point which the home
dressmaker must learn is not to de-
pend too closely ON her pattern. pro-
fessional dressmaker, as a rule, builds
her garment from well fitting lining,
but trims and drapes and adds the ac-
cessories without any aid but her own
ingenuity. The amateur usually buys
a pattern and is afraid TO alter 1t by
means of a hairbreadth for fear the
result will not be satisfactory. This
fear of being original is what makes
so many garments 'iiaye the 'home-
made look" and 1t should be combated
by the worker trying her hand at max
ing garment after her own ideas, us
ing at first some cheap material easy
to handle, which, II it is spoiled, will
count for just so much experience gain,
ed instead of being total loss. Money
will be saved in the purchase of pat
terms, and the worker will soon find
that by following out her own ideas
she will save likewise on material and
ON time.

gored skirt pattern one year ago, and
