northwestern university, as its recent
commencement. conferred the honorary
degree of doctor of literature upon Mrs
Emily huntington Miller, in recognition
OF her work in the university as dean

ever conferred by this university upon

A suburban woman, who likes to look
her best and also loves to tramp around
in the rain has solved the problem en-
tlrely to her own satisfaction.
Her method is to abjure all the ordi-
nary rainy day impedimenta. Her high
boots are of a kind imperviOus to damp
ness. her short skirt and coat. with
Knockers to match. are waterproof and
call for no protecting rain coat, and her
fiuOuS.
The real lover of rain" she SAYS.
does not care to interpoSe an umbrella
between herself and a shower. But if |
did carry an umbrella it would not be
black one. l would unfurl an orb of
crimson silk in the streets, and if | wore
a ralncOat it would be one of those SHIN
mering silk things that are as beautiful
as an opera coat. | would have it har-
monte with the umbrella, with some
lovely buttons to shine like jewels in the
rain. There is no reason why one should
wear dismal colOrs in bad weather. Dark
green's. reds and blues look beautiful in

NAL either. Such hats come in pretty
cOlOrs and with a roll of soft leather
around them. They are just as becoming
as any creation of flowers or feathers.'
The food sanitation committee of the
New York state federation has urged
club women to make a vigorous cam
paign during the summer months against
flies and also against the practice of eX-
posing fruit and vegetables for sale on
the sidewalk.
Garbage receptacles supply an excel
lent breeding place for insects. the com
mittee SAYS, and therefore it urges house
lest they add to the plague of flies. The
use of a simple disinfectant is recon-
mended, together with the careful coy
ering of garbage.
AS regards the exposure of food for
sale. each woman is urged to let her
grocer KNOW IudI she VIII uOl purchase
for her family to eat fruit and vegetables
that have been exposed to the dust and
filth of the streets. The committee is
certain that if every woman would do
this the Objectionable and dangerous
practice would seen be discontinued, as
the grocers are doing only what the pub
lie demands and would be glad if they
were not compelled to expose such per-
ishable commodities as fruit and Vege-
tables to the deteriorating influences OF
heat and dust.
Live out of doors every moment you
can during hot weather. Initiate the
French and Germans, who close up the
winter dining room with the first APP
prOuch of spring and eat their meals III
the open until the frost comes. y back
yard or a veTanda can be so arranged
that it will be attractive and free from
pry ing eyes. Have simpler meals and
make up by using more fresh milk, fruit
and green salads. These will not spoil
by being served out of doors. Sleep in
the open whenever you have a chance,
either on a balcony or in a tent That
is the way to eXpel unwelcOme microbes
and make up for the unhealthy Shut-ln
months Ut winter.
THE simplest way to cook in the open
air is over a fireplace made by digging
ii
square. and partly filing it with stones:
around three side of this build a wall
six or eight inches high, and on the
top place a large fiat stone, leaving a
small opening at the back for the smoke
to escape" says Harper's Bazaar For
frying fish, meat, or mush, and for bak-
ing biscuit, pancakes, etc, this fiat stone
is practically as good as the top of
camp stove.
Beans may easily be baked in this
fireplace by first removing the stone
from the top; then after a good fire has
burned for three hours, it is allowed to
burn down. the ashes and embers are
cleared away and the camp kettle of
beans is sunk into the cavity among the
hot stones; a stone is then placed over
it. and this is covered with the hot
ashes and embers. At the end of twelve
hours the result will be a kettle of de-
licious Boston baked beans.
Large fish are delicious when cooked
in the following manner: First split the
fish open. clean and carefully wash out
the interior and season well with salt
and paper. Build a hit fire, and when
If has burned down lay the fish in the
hot ashes and embers, allowing 1t to re-
main for thirty minutes or longer. ac-
cording to the size of the fish. When
dome remove from the ashes, brush clean
with a cloth and peel off the burn out
side: the flesh underneth will be found
thoroughly cooked, with all the delicate
flavors and juices of the fish fully re-
Small fish are best prepared by first
rolling them in Indian meal, seasoned
with salt and pepper. and frying them
in the frying pan with small piece OF
salt pork"
