DAINTY GUIMPES
Many a girl Is busy these before va-

Many a girl Is busy these before va cation days with the making ui gumpes, for no girl ever had too many for her summers outing. One of the most effective and simplest guimpes seen lately Is made of row upon row of half-nch coarse cluny lace--the real handmade kind. One girl has made for herself guimpe of fine batiste tucked and inset with val encennes insertion and Irish crochet medallions. The medallions. her mother, who remembered the art of crochet from her youth, made for her. The same kind cost 25 cents piece or more in the shops Tucked net guimpes and chemisettcs, inset or not with filet, cluny or Irish lace, are very much liked. For tailormades, these are often of colored net, which IS practical for travelling and other hard wear. All these neck fiNings have very high collars, which are more off, ten than not finished with plaitlngs Sometimes there is a plating at both top and bottom. This Is, in fact, the very latest cry. That It Is for the small neck goes without saying. To outline a fat neck with a ruche at the bottom of the collar Is, of course, not to be thought of.

CARE OF YOUR PETS

There Is no time In the year when animals need so much care as in the summer. Then they must not only be kept clean, but must be fed and wat cred properly, for on this depends their health.
 Dogs should be given little or no meat during the warm weather, and water should be kept where they can get 1t at any time. Dog biscuits are the best form of food for them; milk and oatmeal are also good A bol,u with very little meat on 1t may be given for them to chew, but it is bet ter to let the biscuits take it's place. Dogs should be washed at least once week to keep them in good condi- ton. soap containing tar is best for the purpose.
 Cats should be fed mainly on milk and mush; and, strange to say, they are very fond of some vegetables. Corn on the cob does not hurt them, and a great many like 1t very much. There have even been cats who like canta- loupe. These animals also should have water where they may get 1t, and some cats may be washed with good results-to the cat although 1t l Is a very dangerous operation for the i unfortunate person who is detailed | to perform the feat. Some cool place should be provided for them to sleep but the cellar Is not always good, for 1t Is too damp.
 Dogs should not be allowed to sleep in the house. particularly in summer l The stable IS the best place, or, lack ing that, the dog kennel would be all right.
 4 Canares should be provided with a daily bath. Drinking water should be kept in their cages at all times Lettuce leaves, celery tops and chick. weed should be provided for then about twice d week. and bit of rec pepper will do them no harm. Cuttle. fish, of course, is always kept in tho cage, which should be lined witt gravel. Hempseed is very fattening and should not be given to the bird very often. They should be fed or
 bird seed and rape seed, with a suga lump as an occasional treat.

ABOUT OIL STAINS

It is very aggravating to find that n good blouse is ruined--or seems to be--with drops of oil from the sewing machine.
 You were stitching along so steadily that you did not notice you had put on just one drop of oil too many, and that it was leaving trail along the new material.
 At first you will be discouraged, but remember, the oil can speedily be taken out and the material left as good as new.
 Cover the stain thickly with lard; let it stand long enough to absord all the greast then wash out In cold wa ter with soap.

Satin Is a popular coat material In Paris, but needs clever handling if 1t is to have a youthful and modish air, and majority of the satin coats shown In the shops suggest elderly women. One coat recently turned out by well known maker, while rather audacious, Is smart, indeed, upon the woman for whom 1t was made. It IS a plainly tailored short coat of soft vet firm black satin. buttoning with three buttons and sloping away not too abruptly. There is a plain coat collar and plain coat sleeve. The buttons are satin covered and the material Is handled exactly as though 1t were cloth, the cachet of the gar ment depending upon the perfection of it's cut and It's tailoring.

LIGHT COATS
 FOR SUMMER
  Pongee for General Utility Wear, Satin, Tailor Made, Very Smart.

Perhaps the garment which can come nearest being a general utility wrap for summer wear Is the pongee coat, and yet thls coat will not by any means meet all needs However, wherever and whenever It Is appro- priate the pongee coat will be worn, and no other class of warm weather coats Ia so generally attractive as this one though there are innumerable chic creations in other silks, crepcs, chiffon broadcloth, in lace and In net.
 The coat of three-quarter length prevails among pongee models, though some delectable little creations in short lengths are shown and other models cover the frock beneath them. The somewhat severe tailored coat of pongee with no other ornamentatlon other than collar facing of contrasting color and oddly adjusted seams Is practical and modish for travellng and ordinary street wear, and some excellent models of this type are among the imported things A semi- drectoire model with hip seams. big pockets, directoire collar faced in black and three little shoulder capes is attractive, both in half and In three quarter length. and even an ab- solutely severe tailored model of tus- sor. smi-fttlng, single breasted, straight front and untrlmmed save stretching and collar facing is well liked for travelling and street wear There arc, too, 1aunty short coats, somewhat on this order. and others elaborated with self strapping and many buttons, yet still of strictly tail- l ored simplicity And while on the subject of short coats and wraps ono charming loose pongee wrap--half paletot, half cape and wholly chic--was in soft dull blue and the trimming was furnished BY cord Ing of the silk. Buttons were cover ed with the silk and light touches of gold embroidery. There was an artis- tic draped sleeve giving the garment a cape-like effect in the back. but shaped to the arm in front. This model is excellent In line and gives originality to the coatee which is un- lined and by no means expensive.
 Another short coat of pongee had an upper part extending down to an empire waist lne which might possi- bly, be best described as square bit effect in front and back. This was embroidered all over in self-color. Be. low fell empire coat skirts reaching well below the hip line. Broad cuff! and collar were faced with blacl satin and there was black satin era vat.
 The short coat is rather a problem this season. An effort Is being mad to reinstate the serviceable cover coat but save for driving wear cannot yet be called modish. Fo dressy wear and on suite with frock are attractive coatees and littl wraps of silk, crepe, satin and unlinet broadcloth, but It's difficult to fnt these ready made and separate iron costumes.
 The fashionable tailors are maklnl up short dlrectoire coats in chiffo, broadcloth, silk or satin. braided b
 hand or trimmed in heavy cords soy cred with silk or satin, these cord being used not only like braid, bu
 being coiled round and round Into bi
 buttonlike ornaments, either flat o
 highly rounded.
