cracks. Take out release the hard cas-
ing, which should bring with it both skin
and feathers. This leaves the meat with
in deliciously white and tender. Season
with salt and pepper.
Bathing suit accessories always are a
welcome gift to the summer girl Sets

belt of silk are to be found in wide
range of cOlorS.
A few cloves-half dozen-in the tea
which is cooled for an iced drink I'M
proves the flavor for some persons. Ii a
fine quality of tea is used, it is pity
to tinge it's flavor with anything at all.
The following mixture makes a bran
bag that adds refreshment to the bath:
A pound and a half of new bran, three
quarters of pound of almond meal, eight
ounces of powdered orris root and five
ounces of grated CASTLE soap. Make the
bags five or six inches square and fill
each with three tablespoonfuls of the
mixture. The quantity given will supply
seventeen bags.
A woman who has her own idea about
things, has been building a house. She
made up her mind that, if possible, she
would do away with the danger of hav-
ing water bugs or reaches in her kitch-
en-. Believing that with the greatest
care the wall back of the sink would
become damp, and so a breeding place
for the pests, she decided to have her
sink in the center of the room. She has
followed out this plan and it apparently
works admirably. There is a small work
table connected with the sink, and the
open plumbing makes it quite possible to
get on every side as well as under the
sink.
The business woman may wear, and
indeed she does wear, whatever tie she
chooses to. And why shouldn't she?
There is no desire on the part of fashion
makers to stop her, no desire to put her
into a business woman's uniform, but
only to provide her literally with the
sort of things she herself has elected to
wear. 1t is essential that the supply be
not only liberal, but varied, for among
no other group of women is the wearing
of presentable clothes so constant The
woman of no distinct profession, the
home-maker and the idle Woman-they
all are given to lapsing into the house
gown, the neglige, and even the 9S-cent
calico wrapper; but the business woman
alone, who begins her day and ends it
clothed-and rather stiffly at that-re
quires more actual garments, and there
fore more fashions, than the home wom-
an.
1t is true we number many of the
really fancy little cravats among the
business Womans ties, but they are
the necessary accompaniment of the
trimmed blouse, and although they may
be shirred into something like a buckle
or fril1ed into a roSette with ends, they
are the accepted finish for the attached
stock collar.
Then there is the cravat of black satin
and white linen, a double affair, which
vies with that plainest of small satin
cravats, the best of it's kind to wear
with the standing collar, whether plain
or embroidered. These very stiff ties be,
long more particularly to the tailored
girl.
Hemmed silk made into a double bow,
with long ends, has much the same eff
feet as the hemmed and bias Windsor
tie, and either one is qually suitable. in
navy blue or black, for the turned down
collar in all it's shapes. The shops give
evidence of desirable novelties in ties for
the type of woman who needs the fussy
sort to relieve the stiffest type Of shirt.
In the early spring the white lace veil
was novelty, and no one prophesled
how popular it would become. 1t is now
the veil of the day.
1t is more widely worn than the black
and brown lace wells which came in for
the winter.
1t is made of a soft Brussels net, usu
ally in faint cream tone, with tiny
scalloped edge and a network of vines
above. If the design is sprawling, reach
ing up over the cheeks and nose, the eff
feet is grotesque and should be avoided.
A charming little frock is of gray
ninon over banana colored silk, embroid
cred in gray, with an arrangement of
broad saxe-blue velvet ribbon, encircling
the throat, tied in a bow at the back of
the neck, the ends being brought round
over the shoulders and falling to the hem
of the skirt under the belt of gray en-
broidery. A banana chip hat is trimmed
with large gray and blue flowers made
out of feathers.
Fiber grass waterproof bags, instead
of suitcases, are being used by many
travellers. They are considered more
convenient to open than the SultcaSeS
and less conspicuous.
At this season of the year the need of
some application for the complexion to
counterfeit the effect of astringents is
usually felt. For the aggravating parts
of continued use of drying agents is that
they cause the outer cuticle to assume
chapped look by no means attractive,
and which, if allowed to continue, will
degenerate into peeling. No matter how
oily a persons skin may be naturally,
there are times when cold cream or 9th
er grease must be put on. 1t seems like
carrying Goals to Newcastle, | know, but
it is to keep the surface smooth while
the astringents are slowly acting upon
the pores. 1t is not necessary to put on
much grease. nor every day, by any
means. What is required is that every
morning the face shall be examined close
ly in a strong light, and any rough spot
treated at once.
The new coat sweaters, or sweater
coats, are exceedingly chic. They are
often longer than three-quarter length
and have for their sole trimming hand
some pearl buttons.
A housekeeper says that whenever she
buys rug the first thing she does is to
bind it on the under edge with stout
holland, or furniture webbing. This
prevents the corners from turning up
and makes the rug wear just about twice
as long.
