IN THE KITCHEN

To keep poached eggs In shape set the water whirling with spoon and drop the egg in the center of the maelstrom. The motion rounds the eggs.
 Place eggs on table. With the fin- ger and thumb try to spin them. A good egg will only twirl little while; bad one will spin like top.
 Put the broiler pan of your gas range up In the oven and set your pie in 1t. The pie will bake just as well and if the juice runs out, and it al. ways does, 1t will not burn and smoke.
 Citron which stands awhile Is ditfi- cult to cut, as it gets extremely hard If taken and placed in coander and held over steam for a short while ii will regain its original freshness and be ready for use.
 An excellent way to avoid staining the fingers when pairing vegetables and fruit, particularly apples, is tc wind the thumb and first finger of the right hand with strips of clean white cloth They can be pulled off easily when pairing is completed and the stains will be on the cloth instead oi the fingers, which invariably become 1 deeply stained from fruit and knife.

Hints For The Household
Tone Talks.

An easy flow of tone Is pretty apt to bring about quality that Is desir- able All students of song should en- deavor to secure this easy flow of voice. At first 1t can be accomplished only on the middle tones, Step by step this ease of tone production will grow until the higher notes can be sung without forcing or pinching the throat, Grave danger lies In methods that permit either young or older voices to sing exercises beyond their strength, Vocal exercises must ale ways be undertaken with specific ref- erence to their individual adaptabillty, Songs should never ba sung that con tain q single note beyond the comfort able reach Of the student Many fine young voices are frequently irrepara- bly, Injured because they are encour- aged to essay arias far beyond their vocal powers, not to mention their generally insufficient musical under standing of the same.
 The Instant the voice ceases to sing with freedom and boise, just that in- 
 stant 1t fails to reveal its natural timbre. Neither can 1t give full ex- pression to the emotions. hence fl be- comes monotonous vocal sound, true to the pitch. maybe, but void of that quality which sets every faculty of the nearer on the alert and arouses his deepest interest. Singing, then. that is forced can but crudely express ar. tistic Individuality. simply because the spirit is locked within by tight throat and cannot get out. Easy flow of tone, on the other hand, opens tn, throat, and from within there come. the full, free expression of q soul un. trammeled by bodily interposition Let every student of song look deepl, Into this all-lmportant matter of we'll poised tone-tone that never tires thu throat. Avoid methods that rush tn, voice. Avoid those voice-destroyini methods that compel students to sinl long and loud and high, Your voice Is valuable beyond price. You wil never have but one voice. Take tn, very best care of 1t.

DAINTY KIMONOS

Fascinating kimonos are made in dainty printed organdies and lawns and there are others made of that pret- ty dotted Swiss which always falls in such graceful lines and wears for so long a time. Many of them are trim med with bands of material of con trasting color. There are others of beautiful silks, and even embroidered satins, which form the most graceful lounging gowns imaginable. There are pretty matinees, made of wash ribbon and valenciennes edging, which are becoming and practical, for they wash like rags, They are not very expen- sive, for the strips are sewn together by machine, while, of course, the edges of both lace and ribbon are finished off so that there are no rough places which are likely to ravel.

SALT IN FOOD

If one portion of vegetable is cook ed in pure water. the other half in salted water, a decided difference Is perceptIble in the tenderness of the two. Those boiled in pure water are vastly inferior and in many cases will be almost tasteless. Salt brings out the delicate flavor of cauliflower, cabbage. potatoes, peas, beans and practically all vegetables Onions cooked in water without salt can be rendered almost tasteless. As salt increases the temper ature of boiling water above the aver age temperature of pure boiling water its cooking advantage Is at once ap- parent. Salt in cold water Is used to drive insects from vegetables growing above ground. They instantly release themselves from the leaves when they are plunged in salty water and can be rinsed off. Celery is improved by stand ing It In slightly salted water for one half hour before it is served.

NEEDLE. WORKERS
OF UNDERcLoTHES
Various Materials and How They Should be Made
 Up.

Most omen wear more undergar- ments and bunchier styles than there is any need for. It makes world of difference with their figures. It de- etroys all the lovely curves, makes the beltline too large and 1t Is positive death 10 this years fashionable slim ness. There fig no need to reduce the diet and lace heroically, when by sim lply wearing certain fitted combination garments your figure will do very nicely.
 The proper corset cannot be overem- phasized. IA little bust Is the thing just now, and with the long hips the waistline need not be reduced beyond absolute comfort
 It is quite necessary that the corset be properly fitted and properly ad- justed, but the matter which Is more easily disposed of Is the selection of proper underwear.
 Now, belts and peplums and plaits and gathers are all at variance with the present fashion; hence the fitted combination garment has been de- signed.
 Some times the combination is of cor set cover and drawers, sometimes oi corset cover and short pettlcoat, some. times of cover, drawers and long pet tlcoat The best combination is that or cover and long skirt, with knee length union suit underneath. Nothina else Is needed with thls but the dress, and, naturally the corset.
 The materials selected for this little princess combination must be soft and Ipliable. Nainsook and Persian lawn, fine cambric and handkerchief linen are well proved materials. China silk now has entered the field It Is not quite so cool for summer wear, but 1t has the other necessary quality of SUD- pleness. Many petticoats are made destitute of ruffies White china silk may be washed as satisfactorily as cotton or linen. A | tiny bit of blulng should be used in the rinsing water to prevent the silk from turning yellow.
 | Black china silk is used by many women for underwear and 1t is not a bad idea to make use of this upon long journeys Many women also have night gowns of black china silk to wear in sleeping cars and boats. The sugges. ton is worth trying.

FOR YOUR HEALTH SAKE Advice About Sleeping Given by a Specialist on
 Insomnia.

One of the best features of a sea bath Is the salt water inadvertently swallowed by bathers. It Is won- derful tonic. In many cases 1t is said to cure hilliousness when all drug preparations have failed. It is peeu- liarly effective In ordinary cases of n- digestion, disordered stomach and ln- duce excellent results in many cases of dyspepsia. Clean sea water, such as Is to be had at any of the numer- ous fashionable seaside resorts is full of tonic and sedative properties, It will not hurt anybody Indeed. two or three big swallows of 1t would be q positive benefit to nine bathers out of ten. IL is not. of course. a palatable or tempting dose to take. but neither is quinine nor caiomel You seldom, if ever see an old sailor who is bll- lions or dyspeptlc, ora victim to in- somnia, and whyo For the reason that an ocean of good medicine spreads all about his sky, and he doses himself coplously with it whenever his mechanism becomes in the least de- ranged,
 A physician who has made q spec ialty of insomnia advises those who are afflicted with It in It's earlier stages to sleep with a pillow under the feet and nothing under the head. He also recommends this as remedy for nightmare, which is not a jest to those who suffer in this way. When one is tired the best way to woo sleep Is to place a pillow In an upright position at the foot of the bed and to press the feet against It. This will rest the en- tire body, He advises against sleep ing on tho back with the arms thrown over the head, This, he says. invites diseases of tho throat eyes and nose; the pressure of the palate against the hack of the throat prevents free breathing and weakens respiration He also advises against sleeping with the arms folded on the chest. Of all parts of the body, the chest and lungs
 
 need to be free of any weight Nc matter how short the slumber or how warm the night. 1t is best to cover the body with some slight covering, even If it Is only newspaper over the feet The discarding of sheets Is bad prac- tice. The heart saves itself thous- and beats during eight hours sleep In order to conserve it's energy for the waking hours, and as 1t pumps six ounces of blood with every beat, the circulation. is hotnearly SC. active when one is asleep as when one Is awake. sHe advises every man and woman who has been through tho usual stren- } uous day to lie flat on the back with the arms stretched out at the sides and rest thus for ten or fifteen min utes before eating dinner or supper.
 1t will not take away any desire fo, sle9p at the proper bedtime. It rests the nerves and the heart and, there. fore, gives one a keener zest for foot ai1d helps the stomach to take bette, ncare of it.
