Iced Tea---It's Use and Abuse

ice-not shaved-and have an extra bowl of it on a side table for replenishing.
 Iced-tea gl fses. by the way, are al- ways more generous in proportion than the ordinary tumbler. Stand them on a small plate or saucer to prevent the moisture injuring the table. Individual tumbler coolers of glass can now ee bought, and are quite popular Tor this purpose.
 As it is hard to Lake cold tea take flavor easily instead of cutting the lemon (which is invariably served with it) in the usual round slice, divide 1t in lengthwise sections. either eighths or quarters It is a good idea to have ex- tra lemon juice passed in little pitcher or in a small glass cruet.
 Granulated sugar will be tound to sweeten iced tea better than any other kind. If put in when the tea is hot. 1t is much more satisfactory
 4 very delicious iced tea is made by pouring the boiling tea over the sugar, lemon juice and grated rind. Allow all to chill thoroughly. and serve with plen- ty of ice A little mint added at the same time greatly improves the flavor, or the freshly gathered mint may be served cold in the glasses and pitcher.
 A long-handled spoon IS deslrable Tor the tall iced-tea glass. some or these have straight. hollow handles, which are used as a straw. The difficulty of keep ing them thoroughly fresh ana clean IS a decided drawback
 Iced tea is substituted Tor not tea at most summer lunches suppers and art ernoon teas. It is more rarely used Tor dinner. though even there it Is pernissi- ble in extremelx hot WeathA1

hockey sticks. etc., are in evidence, and the room is delightfully."- boyish. besides being cozy and interesting.
 An attractive room belonging to young sportsman is also shown. The walls were left in the rough plaster and tinted buff then were stenciled in panel effect, making most excellent setting for some fine old family portraits. The hardwood floor has two or three good rugs which give a warm touch of color. The guns and deer head over the man. tel. the desk by the window, the diyan, and the table on which lie his cartridge belt and guncase, all constitute a com fortable and attractive room which shows the individuality of it's owner.
 If a boy is lucky enough to have a playroom as well as a bedroom, the Toom could be papered, and have suit able frieze, such as the little Dutch frieze of boys and girls shown in the H. Nstration This room ts done in green and white and is fresh and cheery, which is what a young boys bedroom should be.
 divan is always appreciated in a bows room, and these, when piled up with school or college pillows, are cozy and comfortable. If only there is room, there Is no reason for not having one, as they are easily and cheaply erected. A small bed or cot. not in use, covered with a bagdad curtain, Mexican blanket or the like. is a simple device, but if these cannot be had. few boards, a saw, a hammer and some nails will soon make a cozy corner which will be very effective. if not very soft Window

Not Dainty, But Delicious

~ oRN-oN-THE-coB. so delicious to eat and so often far from O dainty in the eating, is undoubt- edly the most distinctive American sum- mer vegetable. Most foreigners have heard of it-and many, strange to say, find 1t disappointing on first acquaint- ance. This may not be wholly Euro pean bad taste. There Is corn and corn tough, tasteless yellow grains on COD as big as a rolling pin, his disenchant- ment is not strange.
 ACorn, to be really irreproachable, must be sugar sweet, with small, deep grains filling out each row and cooked just till 1t is tender and no more. There is no fixed time to achieve this, by the way, as so much depends on the variety se- lected and its age. Rapid boiling TOT about twenty minutes Is usually al- lowed.
 Many people think if the corn is boil ed in its husks the flavor is much im- proved. Certainly its deliciousness roasted in ashes-when it is always pre- pared in this way-bears out this theory.
 Fashion to the contrary, corn to be enjoyed in its perfection must be eaten from the cob. This need not be the un- pleasant sight which one must confess 1t may be made when a huge ear is held up in two hands, with elbows firm ly pressed on the table. Always break an ear in two and hold 1t lightly in one hand. Be sure to butter but row or two at time, as corn to be palatable must be hot, and the smeary effect of 8 cob full of melted butter Is distinctly not dainty.
 There are various patent arrange ments, such as elaborate silver holders or small wooden or nickel handles with points to be screwed into each end of the cob, that are supposed to lessen the objection to this style of eating, though few of them are much improvement upon fingers.

If 'leavings" there are. however. they should be neatly scraped from the plates and disposed of at once. A cat. chickens or pigs are great solution of the difficulty. Lacking these scayengers all liquids should De carefully ufatheo off and poured down the sink, whose ripe should be daily purified by dlsln- fectants. As much es possible of the re- mainder should be burned. Never alloW moist garbage to stand around, as t will breed mosquitoes, in lew hours.
 The prevailing use of gas ranges Ios summer has increased the burden or getting rid of refuse. If, however, you have an open fire burn every possible scrap of it--take notice that egg shells and onion peelings are not in that class Many cooks use the stove for this pur- pose though not cooking with it.
 Next better to burning of refuse IS us burial. as the earth is a great purlner. Naturally this is impractical in the city, where there Is no available spot Tor the obsequies. In the country, however, it works very well, provided a place IS chosen. far removed from the house ana water supply. -, .,a
 When neither method is employed the refuse, carefully drained, should pc placed in closely-cOVered receptacle. This should be, by preference, a pail or box of galvanized iron, as wood has an unpleasant faculty of absorbing impurl, ties. These can be easily kept clean, and

. HERE is nothing more refresAing
 on hot Cay than glass of iced 1 tea-especially if it t5 given to
 one unexpectedly when one comes in hot and tired from shopping expedition.
 But, unfortunately, those very re- freshing qualities are insidious. We drink and drink, gl after glass, day in and day out, until, cool weather ar irving once more, our thirst Is quenched, but-our nerves too often pay the pen
 Without going at all into the much- discussed question of the i'll effects Of tea and coffee, which, after all, Is a matter for individual decision, there IS no doubt about 1t that excessive iced- tea drinking is injurious, Doth 10 the nerves and kidneys. ed, however, to make advice against it anything but futile; but since women will indulge in 1t, on every occasion, the one thing to do is to so prepare IL as 10 reduce its i'll effects to minimum.
 In the first place, do not make great quantities and let 1t stand indennitely to pile up tannic acid. Above all, do not boil it. The ideal way, undoubtedly, IS to steep fresh tea at the table and pour it over tumblers of cracked ice-but a fear of the sheriff, at the present rates on ice, causes this method to be little favored. Never, though, steep the tea longer than a few hours before tt is to be served. Strain and stand in the re- frigerator in a closely covered pitcher until ready for use, when ice may be added.

seats and bookshelves could also be built. and in the making of these the boys individuality could assert itself.
 Carpentering is one of the finest occu- pattons for a boy, as it trains his eye, his brain and his hands. It keeps him happy and interested while at work. Be- sides, it will be of the greatest use to him In after years.
 l know two boys who were allowed a corner of their large third-story attc as workshop. They began Dy making stands for plants, stools, shelves ana picture frames, for which they were oft en paid. Now, at the ages of ID and lI, they have a large and strong pigeon house and chicken coop of their own building. and are doing quite an exten- sive business in the selling of squabs and chicken eggs. Nearly all their spare time is spent in enlarging or improving the houses and coops, and two healthier happier boys couldn't be found any
 Neatness should be encouraged in boys, and if they have plenty of room to keep their clothes as well as their treasures, and have a room they take pride in they will keep it tidy But so many of us make the mistake of think ing boys don't notice things, and that anything is good enough for them and SO help to lay the seeds of carelessness.

low open holes is used to slit the grains. letting out the substance from the hard shelf. This is much liked by people who find corn indigestible.
 If the corn is to be cut off at the table, 1t is well to provide the little individual knives with sharp steel blades that come for this special purpose The or. dinary silver one Is quite inadequate, and unless in the bosom of ones family a raid may not be made on the carver.
 When any corn is left over, most COOKS serve 1t a second time, cut down ana dressed in milk and butter. Since this is usually a most unpalatable mess, 1t IS well tosknow that tt can be made almost as palatable as at first serving by re- heating the cobs in a steamer over plenty of boiling water.
 Corn-on-the-cob must always be serv- ed in a folded napkin or special cover embroidered for this purpose, as it quick ly loses it's heat bonfire of wood should be made six or eight hours before lt Is to be used so there will be a deep bed of ashes Put the corn, closely wrapped In the husks, well under these ashes and cook till thoroughly tender. The length of time will depend upon the heat of the Ire. Usually about half an hour is required.
 Roasted properly and eaten hot, with ulenty of butter, salt and pepper, one can challenge the most critical foreigner to dislike at first tasting our boasted corn-on-the-cob.

 rade for that husband of hers; but
 there's always but with the best of us!l she did have original ideas upon housekeeping-especi closets!
 Her rooms were fairly orderly-not too spick and span to be thoroughly at home in; but everything that got in the way would be promptly damned into closets already filled to overflowing by previous efforts to ''redd up.''
 Of course. things got hopeiessly mis- laid and all sorts of complications arose in consequences; but that was nothing, she declared, compared to the discomfort of being always In stew over keeping things just so. Ana sne certainly had more time and animation about entering into her husoands triais and diversions.
 It's a comparatively new theory, put one that contains plenty of food for re- Aection. Oyerfussy housekeepers are deadly to live with--it takes a full dedged angel to meet their numerous requirements: but there are certain men who would cheerfully forego the pleas ,lre of comradeship for the sake or have ing things always in apple-pie order.

THE NEX LENGTHS
 OF SKIRT 6

M M ANY and conflicting rumors have N been distressing the soul of 1V1 the woman who is delving
 deeply into the subject of her new fall clothes-rumors that concern the ali-important question of the new length of skirts.
 First came a wildly disquieting state ment that the short skirt was to be abandoned entirely; that the long skirt ushered in last year. with so much pomp and ceremony by Paris. was to be the only permissible length.
 But the American womGa, aided and abetted by her tailor, stood out so stoutly for the short skirt that 1t has been saved for yet another season. And so sufficient unto a single reason are the evils thereof that few of us care to contemplate what the next may bringl
 Then came another question almost as weighty: How short, after all. was the skirt to be cut? Was it to be that most miserable of lengths-what is known as just escaping" which, in reality, cuts out sooner than length long enough to hold up7 Or was it to be short enough to display the feet in 6 sharp simplicity of outline - rather trying to a short woman, and really only becoming to a tall. slender mortal of graceful mienf
 Fortunately. neither length has won the favorite length for the short skirts shown SO far being one and a half inches from the ground--the most sat- isfactory length of all.
 Very probably, even shorter skirts will be in later on in the winter, which will be a boon to those of us who have worn the first freshness of our suits off and whose skirts, turned up enough to make a new edge and well pressed, of course, 2 seem like new.
 But short skirts in spite of their trt- umph, have won 1t with conditions; only the more strictly tailor-made suits promise 1t; the rest-the suits that are really costumes will boast the long, graceful skirt, with even more sweep in its trailing. folds. Last years hand somer suits showed this tendency: this years, so far, nave borne that tendency out.

Don't Send Personal Wedding Gifts.

THE question of personal wedding l gifts ought to be better understood. In Europe 1t isn't uncommon for royalty to give personal gifts; but it must be remembered that nearly all of the ruling families are more or less closely related, and this is the rule.
 Looked at from the standpoint of the world, personal wedding gifts are an impertinence when they come from any but a relative or very close friend.
