THREE GOWNS IN ONE

An Englishwoman has invented a
gown which gives three changes iii
one. 1t is designed especially for girls
who go on walking tours, this form
of exercise having become popular in
England. Starting out in one of these
dresses it is possible to wind up at a
friends or elsewhere and contrive a
change which does not smell Of the
road
When used for walking purposes the
dress is on the jumper order, with
plait back and front reaching from the
neck to the hem.
The sleeves reach to the wrists, with
buttons down the outside seam, ana a
neat little Puritan collar with black
silk tie is worn. When a halt is called
the high collar and front come out ana
by an ingenious arrangement the top
of the gown turns down.
over 1t a Peter Pan collar may be
pinned. The long sleeves unbutton
lust above the elbow and a pair OF
muslin cuffs to match the collar are
buttoned on. This works a transfor-
nation into a cool and pretty dinner
frock.
A white tucked muslin guimpe gives
another change, as it can be worn in
stead of the gray linen front and col
lar. which are detachable. These com
bination dresses are now on sale in
London, and they ought to commend
themselves to the band of American
girls now travelling in England and
Scotland, each with one hat, one dress
and few small articles in a small
handbag

HINTS FOR THE BABY

Keep it cool.
Watch it's food.
Let it live outdoors.
Keep it out of the hot sun.
Give it plenty of pure water to drink.
See that it has more baths than
strict cleanliness demands.
Sponging O. child often In cool water
will refresh it and prevent fretting.
Do not keep it in hot garments that
YOU would die in if forced to wear
yourself.
The child who is allowed to wear as
few clothes as propriety permits WIN
get through the hot weather more COM
fortably than the little one whose
mother clings to old-fashioned notions
of infant dress.
Chatting is a source of great discom-
fort in hot weather. Do not neglect 10
keep the child well powdered.
Fight prickly heat. This can best be
done by cool clothing and by sponglng
with water as hot as can be borne.
A little boracic acid in water Will al
Law itching from mosquitoes.
Let the baby sleep in its couch out
doors. See that 1t is in a shady place
with a good draught of air and watch
that the mosquito netting has no open
ings.
Do not permit a child to be too much
excited during the heated season. Inc
less attention it receives and the more
quietly and hygienically it lives the
more comfort for both baby and his
mother
Have on hand some simple remedy
that can be given at the first symptom
of illness. Serious sickness can often
be ayerted by prompt measures.
Do not be alarmed if a child's tenn
perature rises rapidly; but if it con-
tinues or is accompanied by nausea
send for the doctor at once.

Clever Woman Earns Nice Living

the public taste haven't found it so
very hard to cater acceptably.
mo, 1 can't say that find the low
est-priced articles to sell better than
others. Fried chicken and thin sliced
buttered bread sell about as well as
homemade cakes and pies of various
sorts. Coffee Is much more popular
about meal time than tea.
Eyes, 1 often serve hot food. In
deed, my effort Is always to have spec
ial things hot. AS my home is only
about 200 yards away from the station,
it is not so difficult under ordinary
conditions, but when it rains or is
cold for our part of the world it is not
so easy.
"You mustn't think that I have had
what the boys call a walkover to sue

cooking up to the standard is not easy
of itself, and that of others is even
harder to manage. There is not a
detail that l do not either do myself
or inspect before a tray leaves my
home. From dressing Of the maids
to putting the little nosegays on the
corner of each tray hold myself re-
sponsible.
"The nosegays? Oh, put them there
because 1t gives a bit of color to the
tray and adds to the fresh and dainty
appearance of it. They are made Of
flowers from my garden and in the
winter of sprig of autumn leaves
or a bunch of geraniums from my
flower pit 1 have been told that my
success was largely due to the dainti-
ness of my trays and the general at
tractiveness of the maids who offered
them to the travellers"

CLOTHES A BUSINESS ASSET

Auy woman who has her way to
make in the world, whether in social
or business circles, must recognize that
dress is one of her chief assets. The
efficiency of a saleswoman, a stenog-
rapher, a teacher-in fact of any
woman who works-is judged by her
dress. Shabbiness is almost always
taken as a sign of ill-success and 1t
Is a popular If somewhat fallacious
theory that real merit and ability al
ways succeed, says the Dellneator'
Carelessness is quite Sas blightlng TO
ones prospects as shabbiness. 1t may
not be altogether just or fair, but 1t Is
true that wherever you go your social
position, your income, success or ta1l-
ure, your ability and character are ap-
praised by the clothes you wear. IL L
were starting in business don't care
in what capacity-and had only very
little money to invest, l would put IT
into clothes-clothes that were suit
able, attractive and well made. 1t is
what financiers call a good r1sk-an
investment that is always certain TO
turn out well.
don't for a moment advocate ex-
traVagance in dress except for women
of large means. With them extrava-
gance is more than eXcusable-it is
justifable. 1t keeps money in circula-
tion that would otherwise be idle 1t
gives legitimate employment which is
the wisest and most benefcient form
of charity to women who need work.
But for women in moderate circum-
stances a parsimonious attitude toward
dress is a false and often fatal econo-
my. If you want to succeed in any
thing, look successful, able, competent
otherwise you can never inspire con-
fidence in others, and to look success
full, prosperous, assured, you must be
well dressed,

AN AID TO APPETITE

1t is an added pleasure to eat at a
table that has dainty touches in the
fittings, and has a pretty floral deco
ration in the center.
The fern bowl is one of the most
popular methods of introducing touch
of green on the table.
The fine asparagus ferns and the
maidenhair variety are used a great
deal for these.
Pansies are among the flowers that
display to advantage on a table.
A novel way to arrange them is to
mingle them with fancy moss in
fiat dish.
This supports the flowers so that
they look as erect as when they grew
An odd decoration was seen the other
evening on a dinner table which was
cool and refreshing looking.
A rose bowl was filled with sparkling
mineral water and the stems of the
nasturtiums and their leaves were i'm
mersed in it.
After a short time the flowers and
the foliage became covered with mass
of frost-lize moisture which was de-
cidedly pretty.

NEW GIRLS seem to realize that
the condition of the arms is an
II indication Of the state of their
general health, and that 1t is impos-
sible to possess a beautiful arm Il the
health is habitually neglected and
disregarded. The girl who is careless
about her feet, who allows herself to
run down and get in a poor state OF
health, must expect to possess thin,
ill-nourished arms.
One whose circulation Is poor from
insufficient exercise and sedentary
habits will have red arms; while i'm
proper feeding will have as harmful
an effect upon the skin of the arms as
upon the complexion.
A great deal can be done by judici-
Gus treatment to improve even arms
which are naturally ungainly and to
give softness and roundness of outline
to the most unpromising arm.
The first point one must attend to
is exercise. Arms, to be at their best,
require regular exercises like the rest
of the body The simplest exercises
will answer the purpose; indeed, vio-
lent, excessive exercise, which makes
the muscles hard and prominent, is
not desirable.
Indian club exercises make the
arms graceful and supple and develop
without oxerexercising the muscles.
With the arms stretched out level
with the shoulders, swing the clubs
around the head in all directions. That
develops the muscle which forms the

COOLING DRINKS
Fruit Cocktail


The fruit cocktail makes a delicious
appetizer at summer dinner tables.
A melon cocktail consists of chopped
melon served in liqueur punch, the
whole being lightly powdered with
sifted sugar or ginger, according to
taste. A peach cocktail is made by
immersing half a peach in a liqueur
punch Favored with bitter almonds.
Frozen Watermelon
Split a ripe melon into halves, chop
the center finely, add the juice of one
lemon and half a pound of powdered
sugar, freeze slowly till the mixture
is like soft snow and serve.
Raspberry Shrub
Mash red raspberries, reduce to a
pulp and add enough good cider vim
egar to cover them. Put in warm
place for twelve hours, stirring often
Strain and add as many berries as be-
fore. Cover and leave in the kitchen
or in hot sun six hours. Now strain
and measure juice. Add half as much
water as Juice and stir into this five
pounds granulated sugar for every
three pints of liquid. Bring slowly to
a boil, let boil up once, then strain,
bottle, cork and seal. When ready to
serve pour glass containing cracked
ice half full of the shrub and fill with
ice water.
MIX Sherbet
For milk sherbet turn a quart of
milk and two cupfuls of sugar into
the freezer and when nearly frozen
add the juice of three lemons. Freeze
stiff.
Root Beer
Take an eighth of a pound each of
sarsaparilla root and dry sassa-
fras bark and one-half ounce Of win
tergreen, stem and leaf; bruise all
together and add one-half ounce tansy
leaves and boil in two and one-half
gallons of water until all the strength
of the herbs is extracted. Strain into

in Copenhagen hereafter, if the girls
take advantage of the company organ

Rereny filled with a laudable desire to
reassure women who are worrying
about not getting husbands, has made
it possible for any girl to take out a
policy which. if at 40 she remains un-
married, will insure her an annual
pension from that age until she dies.
OF course her policy costs her an an
nual assessment from the time she
takes it out until it lapses or is paid
off If she marries before 40 the PEN
sion ceases. Frau Bereny is enthusi-
astic about her plan; and there is
some wondering about the policy hold
