CURING fhe summer Cold

It is the easiest thing in the world 90
catch a cold during the last days Of
summer. Some often Go imprudent
things; and next find that they are in
the possession Of one of the most diff
hcuit of colds TO be rid of-the summer
cold
AS a rule. the simplest remedies for
a cold are the surest. There is moth
ing for carrying OF the congestion Ike
a hot bath. a hot drink, and q good
sweat Do this at night On arising in
the morning rub the body vigorously
with alcohol and a Turkish tewel before
venturing forth.
II it is a tight cold in the head. rub
the bridge Of the nose thoroughly with
vaseline at night This simple remedy
sometimes works Ike a charm, Another
effective method Is 10 snuff up warm

II is OF the utmost Importance during

Light JeWehY

In one of the finest jewelry stores In
st. Louis is a display of light jewelry.
The stones are light in color and the
mOuntings are of silver and platinum
wires. A handsome necklace of silver
has a draped effect in front. formed with
small silver chains strung with grass
green stones, the light emeralds, in fact,
being a trif1e lighter than grass. Many
light purple stones are surrounded with
small diamonds. A beautiful necklace
and bracelet of the same design were
OF silver irnbedded with clear stones. IN
which there was a slight azure color.
This jewelry would be exceedingly hand
some worn with light-cOlored frOcks.
Some Of the hair ornaments were of
silver and diamonds, while the brooches
were of countless pretty designs all set
With the deIicately colored gems.

Cotton for Embroidery

Most women who consider the irk-
some darning they must do and the
fascinating embroidery they love TO do
as irreconciIably separated would be
surprised to hear Of using darning ma
terials for fancy work.
Not IN making artistic darns-though,
as a matter of fact, every darn should
be a thing Of beauty-but by using darn
ing cotton for solid work on linen and
kindred materials.
One very pretty parasol worked In
this manner was recently seen. The sun
shade itself was an inexpensive, natural
colored linen one. costing just 81. and 1t
was embroidered with heavy design
OF dots and wide scallops. in ordinary
brown darning cotton.
On one side was worked the owner S
monogram in a very light tan. Around
the design was a line of cotton. with
two strands of linen. caught up by the
needle at distances Of one inch. The
effect was striking, and the work was
easy, TO say nothing Of the infnises4

About Workers

There is no more pitiable sight in the
world than that of a man or woman
unequipped for any definite occupation
forced TO find work or starve.
Almost as bad is the spectacle OF the
dissatisfied but trained worker In one
branch deliberately abandoning it for
another OF which he or she knows moth
ing.
It would seem best. not only for ev-
eryone to have some trade or profess
sion ar which he can do skilled labor
if necessary. but TO have also another
to which to turn II the first prove fail
ure so that no matter what chance,
there is soDce occupation which he can
claim for MS own.
Mere than that, this secondary oc-
cupation may provide an outlet for the
energy that must find relief in change.
But. above all, he-or especially she
must be trained and well trained for Al
least one definite thing, and be able q
do that thing a little better than most

Buckles

Big gilt. silver. AID steel buckles are
the thing IN dull effects as well as
bright. and in shape the round. the
square. and the oblong are equally
favored.
Jet buckles aid those made OF tor
toise shell are great favOrites now
among the fashionables.
While many Of the designs are plain.
figured designs IN buckles are also well
thought Of. and many OF them have
Jewels Of different hues inserted.
In buttons the fashion ideas tend con-
siderably to the development OF large
sizes and odd shapes
Crocheted buttons with touches Of en-
broidery are commanding interest.
The square and tube shapes are shown
on many OF the imported models.
Buttons OF the material embroidered
IN some contrasting colors are also
shown among the imported models

Belt Beauties

Belts are nothing II not fascinating.
The newest ones are OF vivid scarlet,
scirtiIlant with iridescent or cut steel
beads, and always finished with large
buckle.
Coral buckles n quaint rose bouquets
adorn many Of the black silk webbing
belts.
Metal belts were never more popular
One Of the daintiest shows a series Of
interlocked rings with tiny enameled
flower IN the center OF each, and a
single flower with its stem and foliage
forming the clasp.
WHITE linen belts decorated with en-
1,,oidered college. club, or boat designs
are exceedingly good. The belt buckle
- usually a flag in enamel Other DeIls
are OF plain suede with merely a very
handsome buckle for Ornamentatlon.
Others are OF soft glazed leather n
duU uasteI shades with odd figures ara
designs printed over them in contrast
ing but not aggressive colors.
