Some Pretty Petticoats,

Pretty petticoats which glorify
plain street skirts to an astonishing
extent are made of dark silks in China
flower patterns. The flounces of
these are pleated. and they are edged
with pinked ruchings of plain taffeta.
BY way of illustration of the smart
possibility of these skirts, with gowns
in plain colors, such as dark brown,
blue, ETC.. the flowered petticoat may
display a number of shades in the
same color.
The silks used for such skirts are
very reasonable by the yard. and a
good pattern will make the shaped
quillings and pretty ruches and ro-
settes which distinguish them. COM
paratively easy matter for the home
sewer. But when it comes to the sub
ject of petticoats, really with skirts in
their present unlined state. not one,
but half dozen silk petticoats might
be considered at a time. If bought
ready made $24 will get four in excel
lent styles. for s5.9S is the common
price of the average silk underskirt.
When made at home, however, the eff
feet is generally more satisfactory,
and since the gayly checked and fig
ured silks introduced in the dresses
have gone out for this purpose. they
might be utilized with benefit for pet
ticoats.-Newark Advertiser.

Sowed Corn for Forage.

While the pastures may be all that
is desired throughout the summer,
there is always danger Of drought of
considerable severity, hence 1t pays
to be prepared for it by having for
age crop of some kind. Possibly it
may not be needed, though it will not
be lost, for it can be used to furnish
variety, which is always desirable.
While a number of grains and grasses
are used for this forage, nothing is
more reliable than sowed corn, and by
making repeated sowings at intervals
one will have something to feed in the
late summer and fall
While there are differences of opin-
ion as to whether field or sweet corn
is best for this purpose, both are good,
although, we think, the sweet corn fur
nishes the most desirable forage.
Compromise the matter and test it for
yourself by sowing both. Of course, If
one has a strong field of alfalfa, this
will come In handy to help out the pas
ture, but still the corn will not come
amiss, and 1t is not an expensive crop
to raise in this way, costing but the
seed and the use of the soil.-Indiana'

Some men who made regulations In
the Civil war made them very young.
Women who did the like were older
when they began, and there are not
many of them now left among the
living. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe is
one. Her S6th birthday befell on
May 27. Miss Clara Barton Is an
other. Mrs. Livermore belonged to
the same group. Whether her home
paper is warranted in calling her the
foremost woman in America is rather
an inviting subject for philosophical
discussion. I'm fact" says the
Transcript, there are many who do
not hesitate to call her one of the
greatest women the world has ever
known. This they claim by reason
of her complete domestic life, her
executive ability, her eloquence in
pulpit and on platform, her excep-
tional success in the cause of tenn
perance, her accomplishments for hui
manity In the crisis of the Civil war,
and her almost astounding power as
a writer on every subject which
meant more breadth of mind, wider
outlook, and the uplifting of the hui
man race" Several considerations
make 1t interesting that such claim
of pre-eminent distinction should be
made for a woman who was living
until fortnight ago. If man once
in public life was spoken of as the
foremost man in America, certainly
all persons of average information
would know enough about him to
form some opinion whether the esti-
mate was sound or not. They would
instinctively measure him up against
dozen other men whose records
were equally familiar. But the av-
erage reader who wonders whether
Mrs. Livermore was Americas fore.
most woman will first, we think, have
to consult the records to find out
what she did, and then cast about in
his mind to determine what other
famous women there are in the
country to compare her with. Very
few seem available. There are Susan
B. Anthony, and Mrs. Howe, the ven
cradle and honored, but an attempt
to complete the list leads to the i'm
preston that the competition among
American women for foremost place
is not very active.-Harper's Weekly.

Wonderful Geraniums.

It Is a singular fact that we Califor-
mans neglect the geranium, says a
writer in the Garden Magazine. East
erners envy us because geraniums
grow up to the second story OF house
and visitors say that five-foot hedge
of red geraniums is one of the most
brilliant sights on earth. Why don't
we have more hedges like this? And
why don't we have more and better
geraniums everywhere instead of cod
ding rare plants that are not adapted
to our conditions? No other plant,
native or foreign, seems to be so per
fectly at home with us as the much
neglected geranium. Anyone who ex-
plores our foothills and canyons may
find deserted cabins around which are
growing many varieties Of geraniums,
in nearly all shades of color from
white to carmine, with no hand near
to TILL with no moisture except the
annual rainfall, yet seeming to thrive
fully as well as the average native
plant.
The geranium is valuable for its
foliage effect alone-for massing in our
drier and more barren spots-yet the
geranium with us, as everywhere is
distinctly a Towering plant, more so
by far than the Gamma and a host OF
other well-known "bedders." This ne
glect is due, no doubt, to the ease with
which it can be grown. The novelty of
being able to grow geraniums out of
doors every month in the year appeals
very strongly to every newcomer who
has known it only as much-coddled
pot plant, but after he sees the possi-
bilities of our climate, something less
common-something impossible of sue
cessful growth in his Eastern home
claims his attention, to the complete
neglect Of the geranium-

OF this model has gained for it the
title of the cuirass mode. AS shown,
1t is copper-olored Sicillenne with
strappings of velvet ribbon of darker
tint in the bodice. There is the yoke
of lace at the neck with collar to
match, and from there the bodice is
fashioned of the Sic!lienne which fol-
lows the lines of the figure with fidel-
ity. Tiny pinched tucks run cross
wise to relieve the extreme plainness
and the fashionable point in the front
is observed. The fastening is in the
back. The skirt is disposed in cores,
the front one with a shirred part in
serted to increase the fullness, and
the sides with inserted Dlaits below
the hip line. The foundation skirt
has Paquin flounce chair cloth) Gov
cred with silken ruffles to match the

Household Hints.

All vegetables keep better in low
temperature.
Wash white marble with clear water
and soft brush.
Drippings from a candle can be taken
out of cloth by ether.
Keep all pieces Of clean tissue paper,
no matter how crinkled, to polish mir
rors and windows.
To prevent dryness, ham should be
left in the water in which it is boiled
until perfectly cold.
By covering the bottom of bureau
or chiffonier with sheet of tin or zinc
protection from mice Is secured.
1t is said that sound, ripe apple
placed in the tin cake box will keep the
cakes from drying or crumbling.
A feather brush is preferable to a
cloth for busting gilt picture frames,
as the cloth wears and deadens the
gilt.
An old tin teakettle with the bottom
cut out makes an excellent cover to
place over iron heating on gas or gaso-
line stoves.
Starch and iron wide lamp wicks and
wicks for oil stoves. They will not
then cause trouble in fitting them into
the burners.
Until the plumber can come, a leak
can be temporarily stopped with a
mixture of yellow soap, whiting and a
very little water.
Do not wash the wooden breadplate
in hot water and it will not turn black
Wash with soap and warm water, and
rinse in clean cold water.
Always wash off the top of the milk
bottle before removing the little paper
cap, since it is by the top that the de-
livery man always lifts the bottle.
Clean out closets and bureaus with
turpentine water and use generous
proportions of the turpentine. It's o
good ounce of prevention against
moths.
In giving medicine to baby place
the point of spoon against the roof
of his mouth. Administered in this
way, the child cannot choke or eject
the medicine.
Clean springs and woodwork of beds
carefully, going over joints and ends
of stats and every crevice with corro-
sive sublimate, by way Of guarding
against possible dust creatures.
Spread pure unsalted lard on a bit
of soft rag and place this on a cut and

A Delicious Soup,

Cream of lettuce, peas, asparagus, or
even potatoes make a delicious hot
weather soup, when served in cups
with spoonful Of whipped cream on
top. These soups are very easy to
make, yet are very seldom served
exactly right-neither too thick nor
too thin. All cream soups have as
their basis the chosen vegetable cooked
until very soft and put through a
strainer. Dilute with scalded milk, or
with stock and milk, and season. At
the last moment mix roux of flour
and butter, and thin with part of the
soup. Stir the thinned roux into the
soup to bind it, as otherwise there is
danger of the vegetables separating
from the soup. A cream soup should
not be thick, pasty broth, but a deli
cate, cream-like liquid.

The Boon Of Linht Skirts.

"There is no direction in which
women have won more freedom than
in their skirts" said a dressmaker.
"Just look at the lightweight affairs
they wear today and then think of the
creations we used to wear twenty
years ago. The woman Of today in
sists that she needs perfect freedom
in walking and she will not look at
heavy skirt
Even in winter weather she wears
mohair, which is about as light as
material can be, unless it is sheer
summer stuff. And this she has made
short and with a fare at the bottom
so it won't interfere with her feet.
Even broadcloth and lady's cloth are
falling into disfavor because they are
considered too heavy.
"Just look at the matter of Innings,
too. We used to think we must line
every skirt, and in the bottom we put
a broad strip of heavy haircloth and
then some canvas. Sometimes we put
haircloth away up to the knees and
produced an affair that was a perfect
trial to wear. Now skirt is seldom
lined. and it has nothing to stiffen
the bottom, not even braid.
"The tendency is seen in petticoaIs
also. Silk petticoats are worn all

Unusual Vegetables.

It is just as interesting to become ac-
quainted with Japanese radish as
with a new carnation, says the Gar
den Magazine. The only difference be-
ing that the new pleasure is shared
with another sense. Don't slip into
garden rut, and therein contentedly
continue to travel. Make at least one
new acquaintance each year BY very
modest investment of coin you cah
secure a package of flower seed, and a
package of vegetable seed, in varieties
yet untried. AS n result of this ten or
fifteen cents outlay you have con-
siderably broadened your garden hori-
zon, and what matters it whether you
care to continue the acquaintance and
grow to be intimate or to part forever
after brief companionship? Another
delightful new acquaintance may be
pe-tsai, or Chinese cabbage, which is
really lettuce.
