This summer is certainly going to be
a season of lovely and varied effects in
cottons in both plain and elaborate
toilettes. Not for years have washable
of functions, both formal and informal,
as they are at present.
BUTTONS FOR WASH DRESSES
Beautiful buttons designed especially
for wash materials are shown These
are covered with Irish crochet. braid or
broidered linen covered moulds. They
come in both white and colorS.
LONG SHOULDER LINE COMING IN.
The heightened waist line has brought
with it the long shoulder line and this
is shown on the very newest frocks Just
imported from Paris. The effect is ac-
complished in various ways, the simplest
being the use of the fiat pleat or band
which extends from the neck over the
shoulder seam and down the outer sleeve
to the wrist. Where one of the popu-
lar border materials is used for the
frock this strip is formed of the Dor
der. In white frocks a strip of embroid-
cry or lace insertion is often used in
this way.
THE INDISPENSABLE BRASSIERE.
The brassiere is now as Indispensable
as her corset to every woman who pays
A properly made brassiere holds and
moulds the figure above the corset and
bears all the strain which otherwise
stretches and wears the dress waist.
beside preventing the ugly line at the
top of the corset which often shows so
distressingly across the back of the
bodice
A new style brassiere that closes in
front has three small cross bones at the
side of the bust. This prevents the
figure from spreading and secures the
fashionable trimness of line In the
back closing. Surplice brasSiere. there
is a new model made with reinforcing
shield under the arm which helps both
the shape and wear of the garment.
Both these styles are made by the
Debervoise Co. and can be had at most
corset departments in the best stores.
HATS FOR OUTING WEAR
The millinery departments of all the
large New York shops are filled to over

Household Hints.

When ironing a starched garment
and part of 1t becomes dry do not
dampen with water. but with cloth
wet with little cold starch. This will
keep all parts of the garment of equal
stiffness
The white of an egg beaten in lemon
juice and slightly sweetened is a sim
pie remedy for hoarseness. The mix
ture should be slowly dissolved in tho
mouth before swallowing.
The best way to freshen homemade
bread SO that 1t is as good as new Is
to dip the loaf in cold water, put 1t in
o pan and bake it until it is heated
through. Then wrap it in damp
cloth and when cold 1t is as good az
when first baked.
The oven door should be shut AZ
gently as possible. Much Of the heavy
cake and bread Is the result of its be-
ing banged in closing.
a clean brick represents an excel.
lent makeshift stand for a ftatiron.
Brick retains heat better than the per-
forated metal rests which are usually
employed for the purpose.
TO remove the smell of onions, wasl,
the pan thoroughly in the usual way
ara wipe dry with dishcloth. Next
sprinkle with salt, set on. the stove
and allow 1t to brown, shaking the pan
well from time to time. Rinse again
IN clean warm water, to which lump
OF washing soda has been added, when
all taste and smell of onion will have
disappeared, To take out rusty screws,
neat poker red hot and hold 1t for
few moments to the head of the
screw. Then use the proper sized
screwdriyer-to fit the slot of the
screw-and it will come out quite eass
ily and with little trouble. !,

Coffee kettles should never be al
lowed to become dull and furnished,
as they are difficult to clean when
much stained. A cut lemon. dipped
in powdered bath brick, is however,
usually successful in removing disfig-

washed with warm sOapy water, and
a final polish given with the aid of a

Lingerie hats are this season made of
pleated maline or fancy net. They. are
trimmed with punches of tiny rOSebudS
and other small flowers. The popular
shape for these hats is sort of modi-
fled Charlotte Corday style with rather
high crown.

REVERSIBLE WRAPS
wraps is the reversible military cape
made in two colors of satin. dark on
one side and light on the other. The
extreme ext me- novelty of this cape lies in the
outside. the idea being that such wrap
serves double purpose for both day
and evening: Black satin with the re
soft tone is most effective. Again a
dark and light shade of the same color
will be combined in one garment a
cape of dark blue lined with pale tur-
quoise.

which closely resembles braided net.
Sometimes the braided net is brought
down to form the front panel of the
skirt, but more often the skirt is simple
and is made entirely of the linen or
pongee. An attractive blouse worn with
a coat and skirt of rose colored linen is
made of coarse net dyed the exact shade
of the linen and on this net are set at
rather close intervals narrow stitched
straps of the linen running from
soutache braided band that borders the
low Dutch neck to the waist line.
SUMMER SHOES.
The very newest thing in footwear is
the bronze shoes. This comes in all
forms from high buttoned boots to
strap slippers and pumps and in color
is beautiful bright bronze brown har-
monizing well with nearly all the new
shades for frocks. Shoes of this sort
are used for every purpose from dress
wear to outings.

above the din, in voice of perfect

officer still ringing across the vanish

man is resourceful and untiring. The
next six weeks he will put in where
he can do the most good, and that is
at teachers institutes throughout the

OF fresh air and wholesome diet among

Cedar Rapids Republican: In Keo-

day on the question of the adoption OF

suit was that the new plan was
adopted by about three-fourths of the
vote cast. Only 55S votes were cast
against it. In one ward there were 324
votes for it and only "a against It.
In another there were $40 for it and
only AZ against 1t. The plan was de
feated in not single ward.
