A suitable costume for an elderly bride
would be a semi-princess gown, made
from a nice black peau de sole.
Such a model proves very becoming.
and a handsome black silk gown is one of
the most useful in the wardrobe of the
middle-aged or elderly woman.
This style can be made with a panel in
both back and front, the panels tucked
on the edges and so arranged that they
show unbroken lines from shoulder to
hem. They must taper at the waist line,
Of course.
The remainder of the skirt should fit
the hips smoothly and the waist part
must be made over a fitted lining. The
join Of the waist and skirt should be con-
cealed under a self, slightly shirred belt.
The skirt may be trimmed with deep
fold of the silk covering the hem, but
only between the panels. The top of the
gown should be cut out in long, deep
Tvs" back and front. These should be
outlined with a band of handsome black
passementerie applique, and If liked. this
may be taken down the center of the
front panel. -
The Tvs" must be filled in with very
finely tucked white mousseline de sole.
across the corners. For this very nice
lace should be chosen, and one-quarter Of
yard will possibly be sufficient. The
collar should be made from white lace.

LOUNGING IN BATHING
SUIT NOT VERY CORRECT

Every one wishes to have happy time
In summer and all should strive for health
full amusement, but these are not reasons
for disseminating fOrmality and substi-
tuting free and easy manners. for there
are certain reservations which must al
ways be maintained unless ones nature is
to become coarse. 1t is the lack of these
civilities in some sports to which I OBJ
tect.
For instance. though sea bathing is one
of the most delightful and wholesome ex-
ercises that can be INDUCED in, 1t is really
a harmful amusement when for several
hours at time men and women, some of
whose costumes are costumes only by
courtesy, lounge around on the beach.
During vacation time 1t should be re-
membered that bathing suits were made
to wear in the water and not to spend
the day in.
Beach Longing Shows Lack of Re-
Anement
There Is an obvious lack of innate re-
f1nement In a girl who permits the men
of her acquaintance to lounge about her
on the beach In bathing suits. There is
nothing truer in the world than the state
ment that clothes make the man, and
certainly they make the manners. for
while 1t Is not to be expected that the
same atmosphere Of society will prevail
on the sands under these conditions as
will exist in a drawing room, yet only
a limited amount Of freedom is permits
sible.
Barring either extreme. there is the
happy medium with informally, COM
bined with consideration and politeness,
that one sees on the piazza, when playing
tennis or under all conditions where good
fellowship and good manners are COM
patible. and this attitude should be adopt
ed by all bathers

merterie cuffs unined and edged with
dainty ruffies. This practical gown should
not be very expensive at first cost. ana
at the same time it will surely give good
service.
If silk is considered too expensive, then
one of the silk and wooden mixtures. such
as crepe de Paris or any of the novelty
goods may be chosen. Either the plain or
self-striped material will be effective
for this costume. The bordered or figured
goods will not be so becoming. neither VIII
they be as appropriate for the occasion,
for as rule they lack Importance.
OF course fabrics of this description de-
mand more in the way of trimming, etc,
than handsome goods.
Black Frock Is Best Choice.
Again, while it is not necessary that the
brides mother should confine herself to
black. in the case of a stout figure 1t Is
the better choice. Gray Is frequently
worn, and SO are the lavender shades.
When the wearer is tall or slender and
has gray hair, there is really nothing
prettier than these colors in the SOFT
messalines and silk pOplins that can be
made up into charming gowns.

The slender woman can also use dainty

If one wishes a touch Of color on the
gown, the VS. might be lined with a
delicate lavender and pipe neck and cuffs
with the same shade.

Elbow Sleeves.

A good many girls wear the fashion
able sleeves without the slightest regard
for the suitability of their hands and
arms to the short sleeve. Some time ago
girl whose hands were very coarse
looking and whose arms and elbows were
a brick-red hue persisted in wearing the
shortest of sleeves in spite of her mother
assurance that the style was not becom-
ing. This drew upon her the unkind but
pointed remark of a sarcastic cousin. who
observed that 1t was not surprising that
Annie's arms were red, as no doubt they
we're blushing for the uncared-for state
of her hands.-Home Notes.

Spiced Blackberries.

These are delicious when served with
meat. Put seven pounds blackberries in
the preserving kettle with three pounds
sugar and a pint of cider vinegar. Tie in
a cheesecloth bag two teaspoonfuls each
cloves. cinnamon. allspice and a teaspoon
full nutmeg. Put the spices in with the
fruit sugar and vinegar and let stand
two or three hours. Place the kettle over
the fire, bring slowly to boil and cook
about ten minutes. Take out the berries
with a skinner and spread on platter
while the juice is cooked down to about
half the original quantity. Pack the ber-
ries in stone or glass jars, pour the strip
over them and seal.

Small children need no meat whatever
Their dietary should consist of milk, ce-
reals. fruit and vegetables. Eggs are good
for children. but should not be fried for
them. but simply boiled or poached or
eaten in the form Of custards.
Children should very early be taught to
reject the skins. seeds and pits Of fruit,
as they are exceedingly indigestible and
dangerous. The seeds Of lemons and
oranges are especially to be avoided, as
they have sharp ends which might easily
perfOrate the stomach or the intestines.
The skin of an apple or a pear is very
harmful and has been known, when eaten,
to bring on acute gastritis, which resulted
fatally. The skins of fruit are meant for
the protection of fruit and should no more
be eaten than the shell surrounding the
kernel of a nut, says the Family Doctor
