DELICIOUS MAYONNAISE

Take a clean, cold bowl and drop into it the yolks of two fresh eggs that have been chilled. Stir lightly with a silver fork, then add one-half teasponful each salt, sugar, mustard and a half salt spoonful of cayenne Mix we'll then begin pouring in pure oil a little at a time You will need cupful and a half, alto- gether.
 Beat steadily until it begins to thicken, then add the oil in larger quantities, in- creasng until you can add a tablespoon full at a time. After a little exchange the fork for Dover egg beater, which will do the work more thoroughly and rapidly When the dressing is thick and glossy add two tablespoonful lemon juice and the same amount of tarragon vine- gar, alternating with the rest of the oil
 If you wish to increase the amount of mayonnaise you can whip the whites of the eggs and add them at the last. If you wish to make richer, add half cup whipped cream To color mayonnaise red add little lobster coral dried and pound- ed to a powder. If you wish a green mayonnaise add spinach juice or chopped parsley To make the mayonnaise a sauce tartare or sauce piquant, as it Is variously called. simply add chopped olives, pickles, capers and onion to the plain mayonnaiae.

PARASOLS

An authority on dress and the proper accessories of the perfect toilette says:
 Nothing is such an addition to a wom- ans toilet as a parasol.
 with a little time and trouble para sols can be obtained without much out lay or expense.
 Those embroidered on linen to match the dress are very effective, while the plain white one worked in colors shows to great advantage. Heavy double thread linen can be bought for very little. Any girl with a knack for drawing can easily trace sprawly pattern around the bor- der. This ought to be worked in heavy mercerized cotton, not in silk, which ia apt to fade.
 If girl is clever enough with her fingers she can mount it herself; if not 1t can be done for mere song at an um- brella mender's.
 Any handle which one has in the house on an old parasol or umbrella can be used. It saves expense utilizing some- thing one has grown familiar with, if not attached to a good plan"

 noticed a young Creole beauty at tea the other afternoon. She looked distlnc- tive from every one else, and was chat ting in Parisan French to an elderly man. She was dressed in the magpie colors, black and white, and was dressed with great simplicity. Her gown, of sheer lisse material, was delicately bor- dered in black, and the skirt was tucked below the knee. and then left to flare around the bottom The yoke was deep. cut square, and made of lace, and the extremely high collar fitted her slender and graceful neck very closely, and about 1t she had fastened some slender chains. The sleeves, elbow, were finished with lace, and the belt was one of the beaded effects, through which lilac ribbons were interlaced. These beaded belts are seen on many summer gowns. They are about three inches wide made of either lace or embroidery beading, and the three rolls of ribbon end with a rbsette at the back.
 Another striking-looking girl seated at the same table with the Creole beauty
 
 ultra beside the cool-looking Creole. with pale brown hair and tawny eyes fiecked with brown.
 The Spanish-looklng girl wore with her afternoon gown the large hat, still SO much in vogue Her gown was cut on the sheath lines and was of French voile over swishy silk.
 The manufacturers are now making what they call swishy silk It has an indescribable rustic, different from taf- feta, or any other silk. It is twice as wide as taffeta, and many women are using 1t for the underdress for yoiles and chiffon cloths. but it makes rustling sound with every movement just the swishiest of any silk that has been put on the market in years.
 The two striking notes in the sum mer toilettes are the long, slender lines and the long sleeves. Fashion authori- ties have already put their stamp upon the long sleeve which necessarily follows in the wake of the slender lines. Di- rectly responsible for the new slender ness is the much talked of directoire gown. The present modes a modifica- tion of the directoire without any of it's objectionable features. The modes tend only to grace and slenderness, but they make the plaited skirt and short sleeves worn in the spring look hopeessly out of | date. And all the women who have l plaited skirts are looking with envy upon l the woman whose modistes has just sent 1 her a gown cut on slender lines and with long sleeves. No petticoats are to be worn,' was pinned a gown sent by a dressmaking establishment to a smart woman the other day.

Ashevllle, N. C., August 5.-(Special) The tea hour, much in vogue in town, has come to be an established custom of society at the country clubs, at fashion able inns, at country houses.
 At the exclusive and fashionable inns here in the mountains one sees many wo- men having tea with the same regularity that is observed at tea rooms in town or at the town house. Driving parties, now so popular, have for their objective point a distant inn, miles away. You may tele- phone in advance for tea to be served upon your arrival, and you will find that other driving parties have made the same arrangements. and you are sure to see people dropping in for tea while you wait for the horses to be brought around under the porte-cochere.
 To dress properly for the mountain drive and for afternoon tea at fashion able inn in order to arrive there in d satisfied state of mind is no longer diff ficult to the modish woman, or, rather, to the modiste, who solves all difficult problems of dress.
 You would never suppose that the per-
 
 little table set out on the balcony had driven miles from her hunting lodge that afternoon. She appears not only to be charmingly and perfectly gowned, but serene in mind, which is quite natural under such circumstances. It Is not until she finishes tea and prepares for her homeward drive that you are able to un- d nd hnx sha hal cd har drag her hat her coiffieure.
 No woman in a harem was ever more completely yelled than the woman on her mountain drive, which is to bring her among the little critical circle who judge a woman by the cut of her gown.
 Seated in the tonneau of her car. or snugly comfortable in a trap, she ap- pears to be swarthed In chiffon veils and buried beneath long driving coats. There is no contour. no semblance of anything but a mass of chiffon and mirage silk coat. But from this Crysalis a creature is unfolded, who alights from her car, disappears for a few moments and re- turns in the smartest of afternoon gowns her hat adjusted at the proper angle, her whole appearance satisfying to the most critical s..
 Tea over and still chatting with the vivacity of those who have the town gos- sip to be gone over she slips once more into her long. loose coat, which hangs like a bag its sleeves seamless on the shoulder, really a kimona-like garment winds yards of chiffon veils around her hat ties 1t in a huge bow beneath her chin, and then seats herself once more in the tonneau of her touring car, smiles

 Several energetic visitors have made up walking parties. Accompanied by guides, a chef, and taking camping necessities, they follow picturesque trails enjoy the luncheon and delicious suppers served on wooded slopes and return to Asheville more than willing to again accept the hospitality of mountain inns.
 party of guests from the Manor drove today to Beaumont Lodge; will have sup per there tonight and return by moon- light.
 At Wentworth inn the week was en- livened by the addition of nearly 100 guests. who included many prominent in- surance men, who were accompanied by their wives A number of well known southerners were in the party.
 Miss Bessie Cunningham of Birmingham is quite the rage here in musical circles, and MT. Robert Jordan, in his interpre- tative work, notably in the Servant in the House." is entertaining appreciative audiences at the Manor.
 Life is so much the same wherever peo- pie meet that the routine of the summer places. however remote, however access sible. emphasizes what the following writ CT says in regard to the modern woman:
 One cannot abruptly change all the con- ditions of ones life together without re- sultant disorganization, both mental and physical; and it would be just as well for every one concerned if prospective rest-seekers could be brought to full realization of this fact before committing themselves to the so-called cure"
 Women whose nerves have been kept on the alert through the ceaselss gayety and unrest of a social season cannot find the recuperation they seek simply by betaking themselves to the "heart of the wilder ness" Neither can the overworked house-mother restore her tired brain and body to their normal boise just by hurry ing away for a month or two for so- journ at the seashore.
 Unfortunately for our rest plans, we take our inner selves with us wherever we go. and the chances are that the less work we find our hands the greater will be the wear and tear upon the poor. over taxed brain that has forgotten how to take things easily For most people, indeed. the annual resting time" resolves itself into an incessant round of so-called "amusements' which are actually more wearing than the regular duties which they have supplanted; so that, what with boating golfing, walking, riding, dancing, entertainment, etc, not to speak of the endless dressing that these various occu- pations entail, the average woman returns to town in the autumn hardly less fa- tigued than when she left 1t.
 It seems a pity that We cannot go at a slower pace the year round and so relieve ourselves of the necessity for going away from home to find the rest we have made needful, but if we cannot do this We at least can teach ourselves that rest is not so much a change of scene as a change of outlook-which. by the way, are two different and wholly irreconcilable things.

register of the Chateau looked rather familiar they thought. One declared he was a senator from Massachusetts, an- other that he was a congressman from Maine, and still another that he held some government job and was mentioned as a vice presidential candidate with Bryan.
 Rear 14dmira1 cowles and Comman- der Cameron McR. Winslow were the big guns of the American staff afoat the honor of upholding the states ashore fell to the jolly. rotund gray-haired Brigadier General Arthur Murray, who is chief of the coast artillery corps, and to his inseparabe bachelor companion, Maj. T. Bentley Mott of the Field ar tillery.
 At the government ball the most sought after women were Lady Sybil Grey, pretty Lady Violet Elliot, and Lady Susan Dawney. But wherever she went the Irish beauty, Lady Pole-Carew, the wife of Lieut.. Gen. Sir R. Pole-Ca- rev, was the toast of the occasion and at the ball had the distinction of being seated at the right of his royal high ness.
 The colonial ball given in the Parlia- ment house on Tuesday evening was a social event not included in the printed
  theless. Among those in evidence were Mrs. w. Molson McPherson, who shone in the reflected glory of her house guests General and Lady Pole-Carew. Lady Pole-Carew as everyone knows, is called the most beautiful woman in all Eng land-and I think she justifes the title, for she certainly shone among her Eng fish and colonial cousins with a radiance that was undimmed by even the jealous syIa If "a uU1U Drummond of Montreal, who was chap eroning a galaxy of beauties from the Forest City was also present.
 One of the grandest spectacles, and one which appealed especially to the mu- sic lovers, was the military Tattoo" which proved such a success that it had to be repeated. All the Americans who missed the first one were cautioned to be sure and hear the second. and were not disappointed. A few of the partic- ipating bands were the Queens Own of Toronto, Seventh Fusiliers, London; Eighth Royal Rifles, Quebec; Tenth Roy al Grenaders, Toronto; Thirteenth Reg iment Band, Hamilton; the Twenty-ninth Regiment band. Berlin; Forty-ffth, Lind say; Ninety-first Highlanders, Hamilton; the Queens Bugles, Toronto; Royal Gren- adiers Drum and Fife. Toronto and the Forty-eighth Highlanders' Pipes, also of Toronto. The production opened with each band marching past the reviewing stand playing their regimental march, After they had assembled opposite the stand the massed bands opened with 70 Canada" followed by Red, White and Blue" and "The Marsellaise." Then came the Hymn of the Allied Armies" "Call to Prayer" and Nearer, My God, to Thee" The elaborate performance in- cluded, of course, the battle music, Rule Britannia" also God Bless the Prince of Wales" and "God Save the King"

HOW TO CLEAN SILVER

An easy way to clean silver is sug- gested by a writer in a current news paper as follows:
 Dissolve one pound of hyposulphate of soda in just as much water it will absorb and moisten the silver with this, leaving it on for few minutes. Wash it off with warm water rinse in hot water and dry. If it is not then clean rub with whiting in the ordinary way.

From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
 A memorial tablet is to be placed on the flagstaff at Fort McHenry, near Balti- more, commemorating the fact that Fran cis Scott Key wrote '"The Star Spangled Banner" inspired by a flag that was flying there. This will no doubt be good news to the patriotic soceities of women throughout the country. Another tablet will be erected in the cemetery at Ma rietta, Ga., to bear the name of Henry Greene Cole, who gave the land for the cemetery.
