u N many ways the summer is the
n most trying time for one who
wishes to look we'll Freckles and
tan do not improve the looks.
Perspiration takes the waves from the
hair, wits thesneckwear, and causes the
freshness to disappear from the dresses.
The heat reddens the face and makes
the complexion coarse.
A few individuals who are blessed with
naturally curling locks and do not have
to think of the preservation of the
'crlmps," others who are born with a
genius for tidiness, will always look
well, no matter what the weather is or
where they are, but for most greater
care is required in summer to maintain
the average OF an attractive appearance.
OF late years fair maidens have made a
virtue of necessity and have given up
the warfare against tan, and have in
sisted that tan in summer is not only
permissible, but fashionable.
Protect the Skin
With faces blackened by it and arms
REDEEMED and discolored by it, they have
worn their evening dresses regardless of
the contrasts between the portions of
skin which have been protected from the
sun during the day. 1t is a mistake,
however, to expose the skin recklessly
to the tanning process, and while one
should not be overburdened with care in
this direction, | certainly would advise
the protection of the skin as much as
possible from freckling and tanning.
In some instances the effect of the sun
is to stimulate the growth of hair. The
reddehing of the skin brings the blood to
the surface and stimulates the hair fol-
licles to growth. The sunburn of to-day
becomes the tan of tomorrow.
Preventing sunburn
To prevent sunburn and tan, the face
should have an application of cold cream
and then powder. Rub the cold cream
well into the face, arms and hands, and
before applying the powder wipe with a
bit of absorbent cotton, brushing il over
lightly SO that there will not be too
much grease on the skin, then with an

soil and roots, finish filing up, firming
the soil with the feet; lastly, add fine
dry mulch Of dust or dirt over the sur
face to prevent drying out, and they will
need no watering for few days.
They should be shaded from the sun
for time, since they are tender after
being boxed in transit, and require pro-
lection until they become partly estab-
lished. If the plants are received before
the weather has become settled and
warm, it is better to pot them singly, OBJ
serving the above precautions; and by
letting the soil become somewhat dry at

THE LINGERIE HAT

Readgear
Simple Method
~ HE chief requisite of lingerie

"a in anDearance and actual

WNH HE chief requisite of lingerie
hat is that it shall be light both
in appearance and actual
weight. When the brim must
,e cut double and interlined with
tiffening or corded, this appearance is
lot possible. Many of the hats sold in
he shops are made over wire frames
,ut these are not always available;
when they are used they necessitate the
ripping apart of the hat every time it is
Iaundered-a fact that requires careful
consideration, for in their immaculate
freshness lies their greatest attractive
+ hess
Preparing the Framework
Neither stiffening by interlining nor a
wire framework are, however, really nee
essary. In the hat usually seen the
brim is cut from Persian lawn, and to
1t is stitched featherbone, on the same
principle as that employed in making a
wire hat-brim. The eight brace wires,
extending from the headsize to the outer
edge of the brim, are represented by cot
ton-covered collarbone, and the wires
running around the brim by piping cord.
Fold the lawn lengthwise and lay the
straight edge of the brim pattern even
with the fold Mark with pencil at the
INNER circle of the brim for the headsize,
but do not cut it out until after the col
larbone has been stitched in place.
AS l wanted to edge this foundation
brim with lace, trimmed seams width
(three-eighths of an inch) off the outer
edge of the brim. The fold already
made in the lawn will indicate the lines
for the center-front and center-back bon
ing. Fold the brim again into quarters
and mark these creases for boning lines
then make other folds at equal distances
from those already made, dividing the
entire brim into eighths.
Basting Advisable
The collarbone can be stitched to each
of these lines without basting, but to
avoid stitching at the bias lines it will be
wise to haste the entire brim to sheet
of paper, firm enough to preserve the
shape. Leave about one inch of bone in
side the headsize circle at each line, but
begin the stitching three-eighths of an
inch outside this line, as the pencilmark
made at the edge of the pattern repre-
SCENTS the cutting, not the sewing line.
After the collarbone has been stitched
at each line the supporting paper may
readily be torn away. Draw the stitch
ing threads to the underside of the brim
and tie securely
Making the Head-piece
In making the wire frame the headsize
wire is placed now, and the same Sc
a''ence may be followed here. though the

TO HELP THE CARVER

A dinner table should be we'll laid,
well lighted, and always afford little
spare room. 1t is better to invite one
guest less than to destroy the comfort
of the whole party The carving knives
should be put in edge before the dinner
commences, for nothing irritates good
carer or pcrplexcs a bad one more than
a knife which refuses to perform its
Office, and there is nothing more annoy
ing to the company than to see the cary
ing-knife dancing to and fro over the
steel, putting teeth Oh edge" while the
dinner is getting cold and their appc-
tites are being exhausted by delay. The
carver should have plenty of room,
however closely the diners are compelled
to sit together, and, to my mind, he
should supply the plates according to his
own judgment, instead of putting the
question to each guest as to which part
he prefers and then striving to help him,
to the prejudice of others present.

II 81 tention-the small courtesies

~ Is tcntion-the small courtesles
-A- -A of everyday life-the little,
trifling things in manners which are
really SO important, which help to
smooth the way to make things pleas
anter and easier for others, and help
to win their goodwill
The rush and hurry and feverish ex-
element of modern life is not conducive
to the cultivation of true courtesy. Peo-
pie seem to imagine it is a credit to
themselves to appear to be always in
haste, very busy, and that to be leisurely
is old-fashioned, or indicates lack of
engagements.
They hasten on from one thing to an
other, from one place to another, scarce
ly taking time to breathe, and undoubt-
edly never taking time to be polite.
Rudenoss Unpopular
Carlessness and selfshness lead rap
idly to absolute rudeness, and soon the
careless person offends others and be-
comes unpopular.
1t may be that person would not in
tcntionally do the wrong thing or hurt
anothers feelings. Mistakes NAV be
made simply from not trying to form a
habit of thinking of others, and what
will please them, not from motives of
self-lnterest, but from the mere wish to
do little kindncsses, for to be consider
ate and unsclhsh is at the root of true
courtesy.
A pleasant bow, cordial greeting, a
friendly clasp of the hand are not diff
cult things, and they go far toward pleas
ing; yet how few people give either one
or the other
Placing People
One of the important small courtesies
is to cultivate a memory for faces and
names, to be able to place" people, as
the saying is, to recall where one. has
met them before, or with what occasion
or event they may be especially asso-
GATED; and to be able to speak of some
thing personal in order to show interest
IN their life and affairs.
Another point is to pub others at ease
always. For instance, if one greets an
acquaintance whom one has not seen for
a long time, it is polite to say, Il hope
you remember mel am Mrs. A." This
reminder puts the other at ease, and
opens the way to conversation. 1t is moi
courteous or well-bred to avoid men.

rolled and overcast or whipped with en-

Place the scalloped-edge brim over the
foundation brim and haste it to the head

crush band of soft ribbon drawn around

trimming.

cHILDREN's HOUSE SLIPPERS

Last winter | spent some time in a
family where there were five small chill
dren, and as the father was recovering
from severe illness, it was necessary
that the house should be kept as quiet
as possible.
Upon my showing establishment that
SO many little ones should make so lit
tie noise, the mother called my attcn-
ton to their feet, which seemed to be
shod in little patent leather slippers.
They were, however, made from "blacl,
oil-cloth," the kind that resembles table
oil-cloth, but is little heavier. These
slippers were cut like those worn by
men in rubber boots, and were lined
with singlc-faced eiderdown, which
made them very warm, and being damp
proof, they were perfect house slippers
for the little ones. One yard will make
several pairs. 1t can be bought as cheap
as twenty cents yard, but that for fifty
will wear much better.

HAZEL H01CHKISS
IS CHAMPION Q OF
tennis PLAYERS.
(By Associated Press.)

Philadelphia, Pa, June 26.-Cap-
turing four cups, all emblematic of
the highest honors in the lawn tennis
world, Miss Hazel Hotchkiss of Berk-
ley, Cal, made clean sweep today
in the woman's national tournament
at the Philadelphia Cricket club. She
won the woman's national singles
championship by defeating in the
challesge round, Mrs. Berger Wallace
Of New York. She and Miss Rotch
or Boston, won the woman's doubles
championship and in partnership with
Wallace J. Johnson, of the University
of Pennsylvania, she took the mixed
doubles title.
This is a record equalled not even
by Miss May Sutton, the other Cali
fornia star, who won only the singles
championship.
Miss Hotchkiss' first cup was won
yesterday in the final round of the
tourney, emitting her to enter the
challenge round today.

FARMERS FAR S BODY =: :-=-.5 =
FOUND. IN CREEK !
NEAR EDGELEY

Edgeley, N. D., June 26.-The body
of Patrick J. Brady was found near
Jud recently. From investigation 1t
appears that Mr. Brady had been dead
two days, and that he must have had
an attack of heart failure and fell
from his buggy.
He was found in ten inches of water
lying on his face, and from the posi-
ton Of his body 1t was easily seen
that the decease9 had never s1aved
after he had struck the ground.
The body was found on Martin
Burkle's place, and about half a
mile from any well Travelled road.
From the indications it would seem
that the team had gone over the en-
bankment three feet high in such a
manner as to almost tip the buggy,
throwing Mr.. Brady from the rig In
to the water. 1t is this which gives
strength to the supposition that he
must have been dead before he left
the buggy. The body was in a state
of decomposition when found and
must have, been there for nearl two
DAYS.
The last seen of Mr.. Brady alive
was when he left Fredonia Tuesday
evening, the 18th. There was not
even suspicion of foul play, as all
the money, jewelry and papers of the
deceased were untouched. ~
