GOOD MANNERS AT HOME.
FormaIity Unnecessary, But Gentle
Courtesy Should Rule.

"Politeness in the home is like the
straw used in packing china; it saves
breakage and prevents crashes"
writes Lillian Bell.
If everybody would take this to
heart there would be many happier
homes than there are now. 1t is an
absurd excuse to make that one must
be ones self before home folk.
One needs good manners just
among those people more than among
outsiders. The man who treats his
wife as though she was a comfortable
piece of furniture is not satisfactory
to any woman. 1t is not possible for
her to keep from drawing comparisons
with the way he treats other women
when they are at the house.
A woman who hasn't the first idea
of manners when her husband is
around, should not be astonished
when he prefers another woman who
is always well bred and gracious in
his presence.
Formalities are unnecessary and
foolish. Conventional politeness is
not wanted. 1t would stiffen the at
mosphere and take away from the
home likeness.
But there are all sorts of gentle lit
tie courtesies that should be shown
by every one to everybody in the
home, and they certainly do prevent
a great deal of crash and breakage.

LATE STYLES IN UNDERWEAR.
New Ideas Are Evolved freSn imported
Designs.

Some of the most striking, as we'll
as sensible, under muslins are being
brought out for the summer trade by
domestic manufacturers. Each season
designers from the largest American
plants visit the markets abroad to
look over the new ideas and fashions,
after which it generally happens that
these are taken up and improved
upon. The single piece garment, made
of nainsook and comprising drawers
and corset cover, has been evolved
from foreign fashions, but changed
somewhat to meet the American idea.
These are serviceable, comfortable,
and do away with extra skirt and
bulk around the waist, besides being
cooler for summer wear. American
made silk underwear is also meeting
with more favor. and some of the
latest novelties now shown in the
market are meeting with such success
that manufacturers find 1t difficult to
take care OF the orders. In mems gar.
ments sleeveless shirts and short
drawers are now being turned out in
either all silk or mercerized fabrics.
These suits are not expensive, as they
can be purchased at prices ranging
from two dollars per suit up. Light
colors are coming into fashion, and
all of the latest lines on the market
range through shades of blues, pinks,
grays and light tans. Manufacturers
of sweaters are looking forward to
what they believe will be the largest
fall season in many years. The coat
sweater has been improved upon, and
women will now find no trouble in
getting garments that fit and look
attractive when worn.

A Rosy Costume.

A beautiful organdie gown with de-
sign of large pink roses is made with
jacket effect on the bodice edged
with lace. The skirt is quite plain and
very tight down to within about 16
inches of the floor where it suddenly
flares out with ten narrow bias ruff
fies OF a solid pink lawn. The girdle
is Of pink satin, which ties on one
side of the front
With the costume is worn a hat Of
white horsehair, made in Charlotte
Corday style, with a wreath of tiny
pink roses round the crown. 1t makes
a pretty semidressy gown for dinner
in a hotel, and it is yet youthful
enough to be becoming to young
girl.

Berry Pies,

In making all berry pies, especially
strawberry, cherry and blackberry
pies, put the berries on to stew with
little water. Add sugar, small piece OF
butter, and pinch of salt. When they
stew about three minutes thicken with
a little cornsta-ch and turn in pie
plates lined with raw crust Put on
top crust and bake, or bake in one
crust and spread beaten whites of
eggs over top and brown in oven This
beats the old way of putting raw ber.
ries in the crust and does not use any
more time, as it doesn't require so
long to bake them. The salt sets the
flavor and the cornstarch keeps the
juice from running all over They cut
better when warm and are simply de.
licious when cold.

Mud spots on Gowns.

AS a remedy for that most eXasper-
ating discovery, mud stain or grass
stain upon an otherwise spotless linen
suit, remove all possible soil with a
dry brush and apply with a clean
sponge any one of the standard
cleaners" in popular use for white
shoes This simple process is aston
ishingly successful. as the white liquid
quite obliterates the stain, and IL ap-
piled with damp instead of a wet
sponge, the garment will be immacu-
late and ready to wear In 16 minutes.

Feather Ornaments for Evening Wear

In striking contrast to the huge
bows in tinsel, strewn with glittering
spangles, so much in favor with wo-
men in society not so very long ago,
has come a pretty and unobtrusive
evening coiffure ornament. 1t is in
the shape of tip of ostrich, whether
white, black, red. blue or any color to
harmonize with the gown, which mods
on the top of the stem of some of the
long pins designed for ornamenting
the head. These tips contribute i'm
mensely to finish an evening toilette,
and IL not too large are most effective.

Put Potato on Curtain Rods.

In putting freshly laundered cur.
tains on rods try sticking a piece OF
raw potato over the end of the rod.
The slight moisture dampens the cur
tain sufficiently and covers the sharp
edge of the end and also the moisture
being starchy restores the crispness
when again dry.
