WASHING DRESSES
IN SUMMER

Laundresses' bills are wont to reach
alarming proportions when the tenn
perature stands with fixed determine
ton at some point approaching 100 de-
grees in the shade. and any other form
of dress but muslins. lawns and the
ightest linens and canvases is unbear-
able. In any household much should be
done at home to relieve the housekeep-
ing account of one of its most serious
items, and by undertaking the home
laundering Of the more expensive arti-
cles. such as muslin and lawn dresses,
blouses and slips, as well as all the
smaller dress accessories, a great saw
ing can be accomplished.
In addition to making large reduc-
ton I'm the weekly budget. the home
washed article will probably receive
much more individual care than would
be the case if it were treated with
many others at the laundry, while the
possibility in an emergency of having
a favorite muslin dress or blouse
washed dried and irOned i'm the course
of a few hours at most is an advantage
not to be lightly dismissed. The am
ateur is often discouraged at first by
early failures, but after a little expert
ence and by paying strict heed to the
simple rules of washing and ironing,
little real difficulty will be encoun-
tered.
Prints and cOlored muslins should
never be soaked for any length of time.
before they are washed. Half an hour
is the extreme limit which should be
placed on this part of the proceedings,
while the addition of salt to the water
in which they are immersed does much
toward fixing the color. The articles
should. then be wrung out of the brine
water and dropped at once into good
lather of warm, but not hot, water.
After working them thoroughly with
the hands. first on the right side and
then on the wrong, they should be
again wrung out, placed in soft cold
water, wrung again, rinsed in hard cold
water, and finally replaced in the sailed
water until they are required for
starching Should no starching be re-
quired, the articles should be wrung
out and then hung in the sun to dry.
In the case of blue and mauve mus
lin or cotton articles, the proportion OF
two teaspoonfuls of vinegar should be
added to two pints of rinsing water
Yellow muslins are improved by the ad-
dition of half a teaspoonful of methyl-
ated spirit to the same amount of wa
ter, while faded cOlOrs are considerably
freshehed and deepened by immersing
the garment in a solution of alum and
water for two hours, the proportions
being about an ounce TO each gallon Of
water
Delicate articles, such as fine muslins,
lawns and batistes,. should never be
fixed to the drying line by the ordinary
clethespins, as these are apt 20 stretch
and tear the material They should, on
the contrary, be evenly balanced over
the line, and for this reason never
hung out on a windy day.

Paris.-GoWns for river wear have
been carefully considered by the Paris
dressmakers There are two distinct
types OF Henley frocks-those of an
elaborate description and the other EN-

which intend to take their full share of

of pale mauve, green. or brown linen
In one instance a gown of white linen
had short bolero which resolved itself
into a narrow front panel, which was
carried from the bodice to the skirt
and gradually widened out as ii ap-

crochet tassels decorating it on one

lToidered by hand White suede worn
with white linen is the favorite. and
with a costume of this description
white shoes and stockings to match are
likewise worn. An example which il
Illustrates the craze for these suede
trimmings is shown in the case of one
of the new little square coats of white
linen canvas, which has a simulated
yoke defined by strap of suede caught
at intervals with small ede-covered
buckles. Below this the coat is ar
ranged in close folds, the waist being
partially drawn in by means of a mar

THE CARE OF GLOVES.

Economy In gloves is not brought
about by buying cheap ones, for these
often prove dearer In the end. Cheap
black suede gloves, for instance. wear
white at the finger tips very quickly,
while good ones, by the length of time
they wear, more than pay for the extra
cost
Economy i'm gloves also lies i'm the
care of theme When putting OH new
gloves for the first time. the hands
should be dry and cool. and care taken
that the fingers-espeeially the first fin
gers-are worked we'll down into their
proper places.
French women possess the art of put
ting on their gloves TO perfection. and
do not gfudgs the time spent over IT.
One of their hints is to wet the first
finger and thumb to help the process.
When buying gloves, see that they are
well powdered and slightly stretched.
as this lessons the labor of putting
them on.
First turn Back the glove. keeping
the thumb outside until all the fingers
are fitted in their places, and lastly
put in the thumb.
When taking off a glove, DO not pull
it off inside out, but turn back the
wrist part as far as the knuckles, and
then loosen the finger tips and draw
the glove off. When putting gloves
away, smooth them out lengthways to
look as far as possible as they did when
new, as this keeps them from win

With the fashion now so muc1 in
vogue for wearing long mousquet2ire
gloves. many people have become their
own glove cleaners, and the following
hints for cleaning should prove useful:
For colOred kid gloves this simple
method is recomniended: First put
them on the hands and pour soiue gas

saucer or plate, and proceed to wash
the gloved hands in this. WiUe the

them dry on the hands, taking care not

The contour of the lower lip is so
much influenced by the shape of the
chin that one needs to work with the
latter in order to improve the former.
Nothing gives such an inane express
sion as a decidedly retreating chit. In
a man a retreating chin is indicative of
weakness: in a woman it suggests great
docility and meekness. 1t probably is
because meekness is so out of date that
the modern woman objects to having
what one might call a 'three-cornered
profile" Certainly the regularity of the
features is ruined if the chin retreats
and as soon as it is indicated In the
growing child the mother should set
to work and impress upon it the desira-
bility of bringing the retreating little
chin into symmetry. The child or wom-
an with the retreating chin should,
whenever she can think of it, advance
the lower jaw so that the lower teeth
come i'm front of the upper ones. This
of course. is an unnatural and ugly
position, and is simply done to impress
upon the mind the knowledge and feel
ing of the straight chin which one de-
sires to obtain.
The woman with the weak chin, when
resting her chin on her hands will often
find that she is pressing this part of the
face back. The push the chin forward
lean the chin as much as possible OH
the hands, resting the elbows on the
table, and deliberately try to push the
chin bone forward. In time the chin
will respond to this continued pushing
particularly if an effort of the will
is made constantly to strengthen the
character by holding firmly to ones de-
termination and by carrying out what
one begins to do, even in the little
things of every day life.

Womdnkind, nevertheless, since so many
Of my readers are troubled with I'M
shapely lips it is evident that they do
not possess control of these sensitive
muscles. A famous diction teacher in
Paris, who has trained many of the
great actresses, gives to us the fol-
lowing instruction for exercising the
muscles of the lips:
In order to gain the feeling that one
is really using all the small muscles of
the lips, purse up the mouth as tightly
as possible, making every nerve tense
Now relax the mouth and widen 1t to-
ward the corners, narrowing the lips
and folding them inward with the Sc
verest expression possible. You should
look as if you were biting the lips, but
the teeth should not come in contact
with them, and the movement should
be merely muscular one, done with
the lips alone. After pursuing and con-
tracing the lips several times the fol-
lowing sounds should be made, using
all the force of the lips in expeIling the
air. saying "ah"; contract and press the
lips together and express forcibly on
bah: now go through the whole al
phabet, placing the consonants before
the second "ah" in this manner: "Ah
cah," "ah dah," ''ah Fab"

pill has gone through these lip exercises
he or she is permitted to read aloud, and
woe betide If every consOnant does not
ring out clearly, or if the pupil permits
herself to utter sounds in an American
slipshod manner of enunciating. The
great diction teacher will not stand for
this an instant and his TRADES against
the American manner of speaking are
long and strenuous.
In a way he is right to upbraid us
for our slovenly way of enunciating.
For I'm no country do educated people
pay as little attention TO the pronuncia-
ton of their mother tongue as they do
in this lovely land. Half of the badly
shaped mouths are due to this habit of
poor enunciation. AS soon as we begin

MILLINERY FOR
HOT MONTHS

The one idea of the moment appears
to be to present as cool an appearance
as one would fike to feel during the
hottest months of the year. Hats-to
be strictly ub to date-must be of the
most ethereal description, and those
carried out in paile. d'Italie, horsehair,
leghorn or crinOlne--large enough to
ward off the sun, and as light as the
proverbial fedther-are the order of the
day.
Feather and marabout plumes long
er even than the fashioha BILE neck ruff
fies, and carried out i'm all shades are
still the feature of the moment, and one
of the prettiest hats at q recent func-
ton was an immense "Gainsborough'
of pearl gray CTinOline trimmed with a
long gafnet-eOlored feather caught with
curiOusly wrought silver clasp. Brus-
hels net and Malines tulie are both i'm
portant assets to the nilliner in her en-
deavor to provide the lightest of sum-
mer schemes. while In cases where three
or four feathers are used in lieu of one
single plume, they are arranged in the
center of the crown, dropping all round
in opposite directions like a carefully
trained willow tree

still greater devotion is shown for high

Their on one side. Numbers of the new
mats for girls are besides composed of
white leghoTn almost sm1thered in
sweet peas of every conceivable shade
with long hanging strearners behind of
pale blue or lavender ribbon, while in
many instances the large hats are
1raped with white tulle. (which pays the

carefully, the shapeless lips will be
things of the past. You will notice that
all actors and actresses who are ia
nous for a clean enunciation have
shapely lips.
1t is the same with men and women
off the stage. The good orator has
what is called the oratorical mouth, and
ministers and public speakers as we'll as
the prominent clubwoman will never
complain of having loose or saggiug
lips. Where a mouth is too thin and
too severe-looking, the contour may be
changed slightly by pursuing out the lips,
then drawing them back, and by con-
centrating the mind as much as posi-
BILE on the mouth and allowing the lips
TO rest very loosely OF softly on each
other. The person with thin lips shuts
his or her mouth too tightly. There is
usually nervous tension of the jaw
which must be removed by relaxation,
or eventually the jaw muscles will be-
come so prominent as to give the low
er half of the face a square and tOo-de-
termined look. The business woman has
this rigid contraction of the muscles to
contend with very often. The minute
a woman is set on accomplishing any
thing, she sets her jaw as regularly
as you wind your alarm clock. Ali this
rigid contraction of the muscles is UNI
necessary. It is wasted energy, and
means ultimate loss of beauty.
The girl whose upper lip is very full
and presents what she calls a shape
less appearance" can massage her own
lips into better shape with the forefin-
gers of each hand pressing the lip firm
ly against the cheek and making with
the fingers the Cupid's bow line which
is so desirable a thing In facial perfec-
ton. The color of the lips has a great
deal to do with their beauty. When the
lips are too pale the subject should un-
dergo a treatment for aehemia, rather
than resort TO rOuges or pOmades.. But
certainly it is better to resort to arti-
fices than to go about advertising

OUTINGS AND BEAUTY.

1t has been discovered that the out
ings of the summer girl have particu-
lar bearing upon her beauty and that
she can cultivate this or that grace
merely by arranging her summer va
cations so that the particular feature
is brought out.
To be specific, there are certain en-
joynients which are good for certain
points of beauty. Bathing develops the
chest and makes the muscles firm.
The summer girl who wants a good
skin must walk in the pine trees or in
the woods where there are. balsams
The woody air bfeathed into the lungs
will clear the skin I'm an amazingly
short time. The reason for this is not
known, but it is scientific fact that
the pure air will make pure skin.
The girl who has weak lungs can go
hunting. The huntfess invariably gets
back her lung strength. though 1t is
often attributed to other causes than
that of carrying a gun.
The hunting girl gets rid of throat
troubles AS well, for the carrying of the
gun seems to strengthen the throat as
well as the lungs. II Is great exercise
for the girl whose throat and tonsils
whose lungs and whose hacking cough
are not all she would like TO have them.

6aby's Eyes.

Absolute cleanliness is one of the
most important things to consider; the
infants eyes should be bathed two or
three times a day. and dried With a
very soft, fine towel or handkerchief
If, as is sometimes the case, the eye
lids get encrusted from cold or other
causes. great care is needed to prevent
the lashes being pulled out when the
matter is removed. The proper course
to pursue is to battle the eye with
lukewarm milk or water, and after
ward apply very little pure Yaseline
to the edge of the upper lid.
Beverages.
1t is advisable NOT to give children
tea or coffee until after they are 10
years old, as even the slight stirnulant
of weak tea is unwise Water and milk
are the drinks proper for childhood, and
these may be given freely. Most chill
dren have milk at II o'clock in the
morning, and this is a wise plan to fol-

and dinner are too long for the active
little body to be without some kind of
