Summer Meats.

The utmost care of meats should be taken during warm weathe CT, as noth- ing is so apt to produce ptomaine pois- oning. An authority writing on the subject advises that one should never buy meat of which there Is the least suspicion. Return it to the butcher aft CT 1t has been sent home if there is even a faint odor to it. This makes him more careful next time. Veal and sweetbreads are specially apt to spoil speedily in hot weather.
 Should there seem to be a little staleness when the meat is to be cooked wash 1t over with vinegar.
 Never bring meat into the hot kitchen until 1t can be put at once on the fire. See also that the fire is very hot.
 It is not generally known that roast put in a slow oven or over a poor fire will sometimes spoil during the process of cooking. It makes a condition very similer to that of heat and moisture, which so quickly taints even fresh meat.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

Although many of the new fall models are to be seen in the fashionable shops, it is almost too early to predict just what will be most popular and shoppers are still conhning themselves to summer bargains" Here and there many attrac- tive things may be picked up at great reductions. Laces, embroideries, muslins, ginghams and various thin sheer goods are plentiful yet, and as we have fully two more months of summer before us, it is not bad scheme to replenish ones wardrobe.
 Some very attractive blouses are to be had at one of the large shops at con siderably below cost. They are lined with thin China silk, and for the first cool days would be just the thing with light tailored suit. One of f1llet net, appliqued in lace me- dallions Is $6 .9S. Another of lace in a champagne shade, stylishly trimmed Is $.95
 A white linen suit with a well cut skirt and long coat, having entre deu of heavy lace Is $S.75
 
 Separate skirts in light weight material, checks, stripes or plaid goods, well tail ored and smartly finished are to be had for s5.95. They are excellent value.
 
 Leaving the subject of dress for a bit and looking into household necessities if the library is wanting in comfortable chairs, a large oak one upholstered in leather is cheap at $S75. A library table with convenient drawer and book rest is s12.75 The chair and table are a good match. At one of the shops making a spe- cialty of kitchen utensils, lot of useful things may be found. For instance, spoons with long, black handles suitable for chafing dish use may be bought for 50 cents each.
 A cup designed for making milk-shake is purchased for 65 cents. At a well known clothiers small boys may be fitted in suits of dark blue, wash able material, stylishly trimmed with white in the cuffs and sailor collar) for $1.49.
  be had for $1.S9.
 In heavier materials, checks in tan, well tailored and mannish in style, are sold at $3.95.
 The last call for lingerie gowns is tempting and those at a fashionable shop, marked down to $5.sS, are good value. Many of them earlier !, in the season were very high-priced and these are included in the lot.
 At another shop linen shirtwaist suits are marked down from $12.50 to $5. They are well made and the style is excep- tional for the price of the garments.
 Belt pins and buckles of oxidized or sterling silver, gilt or black, may be bought for 50 cents.

state department and by those who were
 so fortunate as to enjoy his confidence
 and friendship, the death of Baron Stern
 burg is regarded as a distinct personal loss
 When he left Washington May 15 for
 his home in Germany the ambassador ] himself seemed to those close to him to have premonition that he would never return.
 It is no detraction from any man to say that the German ambassador, per { sonally and officially, was one of the
 most popular and highly esteemed mem-
 bers of the diplomatic corps In Wash ington. While resident In the Amer ican capital he became intimately asso- ciated with a coterie of prominent men in civil and official life of whom Pres ident Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of State Adee and Clifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States, were to- gether most of the time. Baron Stern burg although small of stature and seem- ingly delicate of physique, was an ac- complished horseman and he and M-. Roosevelt rode a great deal together. In the long rides and walks which they took about Washington the friendship
 which in later years was to be so val
 uable both to America and Germany was formed.
 During Ambassador Stemburg's official sojourn in Washington he became &C., uuainted with Miss Lillian May Lang ham of Louisville, Ky, whom he after ward married.

When Isadora Dances.

When Isadora dances
 It seems as if a breeze
 Across the wildwood prances
 And laughs among the trees.
 The little branches whisper,
 The big bough swings,
 The dropping leaves grow crlsper. The woodland sings,
 Robert Gilreath Welsh.
 The latest recruit to the terpsichorean art, which Gotham is enjoying, is Miss Ishadore Duncan.
 The young woman in question will be remembered as the dancing teacher who, when the Windsor hotel was destroyed by fire several years ago, marched her class in good order from the ballroom of the burning hotel. and received the praise of many for her coolness and good Judgment in a very trying situation.
 That was very nearly 10 years ago, and in the interim Miss Duncan has been studying classical dances, and regaling European provinces with her grace. She has studied the poses of Grecian dancers on vases and the relics of antiquity, and has reproduced these in creative har- mony of succession, building up from the spearate poses a series of dances.
 These Grecian dances have been chosen by Miss Duncan as her speciality. and upon her premier appearance in Gotham recently she selected the dances and choruses from Gluck's opera, 'Iphigenie en Aulide" Q77D, which tell the story of the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytem- nestra after the manner of Euripides' play, known in the English translations as "Iphigenia at Aulis." Artemis having been offended, the Greek fleet is detained at Aulis. Calchas, the seer, declares that the goddess can be appeased only through the sacrifice of Iphigenia. At the last moment Artemis relents and substitutes hind in the sacrifice. Iphigenia is car- ried by Artemis to Tauris that she may become the priestess of Artemis.
 Miss Allan danced as did the maids in the days of old Lycur Gus-bare- footed and bare-limbed, with diapanous draper ies, swalting the slight figure. After the first part even the most conventional agreed that Miss Duncan was the synomum of grace, beauty and the per- lection of art. Her dancing for the pure joy of dancing completed the conquest, which was unanimous. Other dances in a lighter vein were 'Danses des Scythes," a rhythm of motion, whose theme was manifestly reaping. After Musette, Sicil- ienne, and Bacchanale. dances of life and movement in which flowers played a part, Miss Duncan, in response to the demands of her audience, danced her interpreta- tions of Schubert's Musical Moment" the Strauss waltz, Beautiful Blue Dan ube," and Moskowskis Spanish Dance"

of how hideous an elbow sleeve makes them look.
 Home Notes' tells of a girl whose hands were very coarse looking and whose arms and elbows were a brick-red hue who persisted in wearing the short est of sleeves in spite of her mothers as- surance that the style was not becoming. This drew upon her the unkind but point ed remark of a sarcastic cousin, who observed that it was not surprising that Annie's arms were red. no doubt they were blushing for the uncared-for state of her hands.

To Clean White Paint.

It may be avoided by making a lathes of the hot water and very mild, pure article of soap and using it after it becomes luke warm It is also a benefit to the paint to go over it again with perfectly clear water and clean cloth, removing any suggestion of soapiness, as all soap is more or less yellowing If allowed to remain on either paint or clothes

Furniture Dents.

If the dents in furniture are so noticeable as to need attention, a good way to remove them is to wet the scar with warm water. Then soak in warm water a piece of heavy brown paper, double it about four times, lay it over the dent and press with a hot iron. Leave the iron on the paper un . til all moisture is absorbed If the dent is not then removed repeat the process.

Elbow Sleeves.

There are more liberties taken with the elbow sleeve than almost anything we can think of. Red. scrawny arms and big and little arms, all follow the fashion in this respect, without thought, ap- parently, of the bitter absurdness of the situation or the unbecomingness of the style. It is a real joy to know that the elbow sleeve Is almost passe now, and that the very long sleeve is predicted for the future. Large hands take no thought
