and though the one-color idea Is all-per7

white hats are most charming, and are in

considered immensely attractive. Lace,

winter hats, but just now are to be seen

summer outfit.

1t is almost impossible, even at the happy

hats at low proce, and although at first
glance 1t seems as though the cost were
absurd, the materials must be of the best,

make the color of the gowns more becoming

nave any contrast, one rose OF deeper
shade does not seem amiSS If a deeper note
of color be needed.
The fur hats have not been so popular as
was expected in consequence of The abnor-
mally warm weather, but those that are
worn are of the most costly description,
that it is not to be wondered at that the
wearers thereof have decided again that
1t is worth suffering to be beautiful. n

costly ostrich tips, pale blue, pale pink,

Two Easily-Vade
Cellar Conveniences

The housekeeper who keeps vegetables In
comparatively small quantities-that is, less
than a barrel at a tfme-knows what a
bother 1t is to have several boxes kicking
about the cellar floor, where it is often I'M
handy to get at the vegetables in them, and
where also. for want of ventilation, they
sweat and decay.
Vegetables need ventilation to keep prop
erly, and without 1t they soon become use
less They should never be kept in boxes
and barrels unless the receptacles have
holes in them to admit air to the contents.
For the convenience of the average house
keeper bin should be built in the corner
of the cellar. preferably In the coolest place,
and it should be at least eighteen inches
above the floor. A suggestion is given that
can easily be followed OF it can be modi-
fed to suit ones needs and the space that
can be devoted to 1t.
A board ten inches wide and eight feet
long is used for the front, and at end
n larger compartment is made for potatoes
that are usually purchased In larger guam
titles than other vegetables. The front of
this bin IS provided with an opening eight
inches square, and a door is arranged to
slide in runners screwed fast at either side
of the ope hing.
Three or four compartment partitions are
cut twenty-four inches long, ten inches vile
at end and fifteen in width az the
other. Stats two inches. wide and placed
of the bin, and through the openings
ventilation can be had and dirt from the
vegetables sift through to the floor,
from which 1t can be swept up. and in
time the bins do not fill with loose earth,
as they would If the bottoms to compart-
ments were tight.
Across the Top of the potato bin and to
the wall at the end of the bins ledge ten
inches wide is made fast and propped up
at the middle with bracket. This affords
a good place for cabbages. small pumpkins
and squash egg plant. celery or other
things that 1t Is best not to put in bins
The large bin will hold a goodly number
of potatoes. perhaps full barrel. and each
bin compartment should accommodate
about bushel of vegetables.
For canned fruits, preserves and sweet |
pickles that it is best to keep under lock
and key, some Grated shelves at the side OF
the cellar will be the most convenient place
to keep such things away from meddlesome
fingers where they viii not be liable to

half SO as to form two cups. From the end
of each cup slice off small piece, so the
eggs will stand. Remove the yolks and
put them in a bowl. Mix together In a
saucepan two eggs well beaten, two table
spoonfuls of salt, one tablespoonful OF pep
per and one teaspoonful of mustard dis

ingredients together until as thick as Gus
tard, then take the saucepan from the fire
and mix in the hard boiled yolks, also ono
cup of chopped cold boiled ham. Fill the
cups with the mixture made from the
whites of the eggs and set on ice to cool.
Serve cold on lettuce leaves or hot with q
white sauce.

arrangement of fur and feathers helps SO
materially in rendering a hat becoming that
milliners, recognizing this, often urge their
customers to put some fur or feather
boa just to try the effect and the effect IS
so becoming that not only the hat but the
boa is purchased. 1t is interesting to note
what a difference there can be when either
white lace or white boa of some sort is
put on with hat that before seems unbe-

sis takes place at once, and, indeed, it
seems as If years, too, were taken Off The
age. Feather boas to match the color OF
gown and hat are generally fashionable
this winter, and are also worn with black
or white. An attractive fad is the wearing
of hat and boa OF the same color with a
gown of white black. This is q most
becoming fashion, for the same color above
and below the face Is infinitely less trying
