CapS.

In the days of our great-grandmoth- CTS, and even the grandmothers of some of us, the women wore caps aft CT they were forty. For women were, by the way, much older at 40 than they are now. All marks by which we used to tabulate the years are effaced in this new (and, shall we not say, more enlightened generation.
 However, caps were pretty and, rightly made, becoming, and there are signs of a return to the fashion which may be commonplace, ugly or piquant as the owner wills. They are begin ming to creep in with the ultra fash ionable; they are worn by the semi-in- valid, and are made as accompaniment to the new designs in lingerie. A lace-edged Charlotte Corday cap is very attractive and becoming, and bids fair to be popular, worn with a lounging robe, or even tea gown.

BAR PINS STILL ARE POPULAR.
Dress Accessory of Which Seemingly
 There Cannot Be Too Many.

There is no diminution in the popu- larity of the bar pin. It is used for collars, for the stock and for jabots.
 Every girl needs as many as she can get She wants them in sets of col ored stones to match the color scheme of her various costumes, and she wants them in different sizes for different uses.
 As far as the fashions go, she can not have too many. Therefore, the manufacturers are bringing them out anew in all kinds of lovely shapes and settings.
 The horseshoe has been run to the ground and few of the new ones are in this shape. Lovely as the bowknot was it did not become widely popular in semi-precious stones. The straight bar has always been an excellent in- vestment, especially in three sizes.
 The new bar pin used to catch the lower edges of the turnover collar and the jabot under it is in the shape of a new moon. The crescent is slight in it's curves, it is not wide even at the center, it's ends are sharp.

DAILY BATH FOR CLEANLINESS
Weekly Abluton of Our Ancestors
 No Longer Suffices.

There is many a man or woman who would be mortified to be told that he or she falls short of cleanli- ness, yet such is the case even when one brides herself on personal dain- tiness.
 You cannot be clean if you do not take at least one bath each day. If that seems like a harsh judgment try going for two days without bath, then wipe off the skin with cold cream. The condition of that cloth is an unpleasant revelation.
 The daily bath need not be in tub, but it should be more than the British cold sponge that with many does duty for cleanliness. Cold water. no matter how invigorating, does not remove soil.
 A bath to be cleansing should con sist of plenty of hot water-soft, if possible-a pure soap and a scrubbing brush, and plenty of friction in dry ing. Cold water may be used later as a spray or tonic, but the warm bath is essential
 It IS uouDly necessary, If one lives in cities, that care is paid to bathing. The grime of the big town is not only disfiguring, it is germ-laden, and every effort should be made to keep free of it.
 In addition to the daily bath one should be particular to wash the face, ears and neck, and under the arms each time she dresses. The hands. as most of us know to our sorrow. need scrubbing dozen times a day.
 It is folly, as is so often done, to point to our ancestors weekly bath and superb strength. Times have changed and so have ideals of clean Illness, and the person who takes two baths week these days is ashamed to have it found out.

A Simple Guest Room.

The very simplest guest room that any one could imagine! The floor had on it a gray rag carpet. The walls were covered with a plain gray paper, and a black moulding joined them to the ceiling. The narrow, old-fashioned woodwork of window and door sills made streaks of black, in keeping with the holding above. The hang ings were gray Japanese crepe.
 Many tones of quiet grays," as said the poet; but they served to throw into relief odd bits of blue and yellow Moorish pottery and row of blue books. The books were the point of the whole gray scheme of things, for the hostess had covered them all in blue holland linen and had titled the backs on small yellow pastors.

Japanese Scarfs,

Now that half the women one knows are dressnig themselves up in the floating scarf which the women of the eighteenth century loved, many kinds of new materials are being brought into play.
 Chiffon with a tiny fringe of metal or crystals is still in the lead with it's rival of black tulle embroidered in gold, but the new thing is a scarf of Japanese satin embroidered with flow CTS or in tiny figures. One woman who has yellow satin scarf on which is outlined quaint little men and wom- en, with lotus flowers between, wears 1t around the shoulders over a hand some evening gown.
 The Japanese jacket has long had a place for evening wear, but the Jap anese scarf is a new addition to this seasons costumes.

Lemon MarmaIade

Choose sound fruit with fresh peel ing. Boil two hours, keeping covered till tender. Change water often, but always substitute water which is boil ing. When done, slice thinly remov- ing seeds. Allow for each pound of fruit, two of loaf sugar, and pint of the water in which lemons were boiled. Boil these together 15 min utes, skimming carefully. Then add the sliced fruit, and cook another half hour or more. Put in jars and cover with pieces of paper soaked in brandy Some like the addition of oranges in the proportion of two oranges to, say, six lemons. This marmalade makes an excellent garnish for meats, and is useful to trim up emergency dishes, even when the taste of the marmalade is not popular.

To Keep Bread Fresh.

Tn the farmhouses of central Europe break baking is done once every three or four weeks-no oftener-and yet stale bread is there unknown. Their method of keeping the bread fresh is to sprinkle flour into a large sack, and into this pack the loaVes, taking care to have the top crusts of the bread touch each other. If they do have to lie bottom to bottom, sprinkle flour between them. Swing it in dry place. It must swing, and there must be plenty of flour between the loaves. The process sounds more odd than reasonable, but it is one of the things which is true-"because.

To Protect the Finuers.

Pretty nearly everybody is making or learning to make Irish crochet lace. so that any information on this inter. esting subject is usually received with joy.
 The inexperienced finds that the sharp end of the crochet needle bricks their fingers and that they, for, this reason, cannot keep up the work very long at time. The best way to over. come this difficulty is to wear 8 tiny piece of courtplaster over the Zip of the finger where the needle touches. It will not interfere with the guidance of the needle, as thimble might do, but it will prevent the finger from be. coming sore and will protect it from the possibility of callousness.

PROPER CARE OF THE NECK
Woman Tells How to Avoid Double Chin and Sagging Throat Mus
 cles, the Marks of Age.

0HoW do I keep my back straight
 AA and my neck from saggingqn sad the woman who spent hours each day at a typewriter. q wrxn will my chest up and my eyes turned coil ingward.
 T never allow myself to stoon s,+ ting well back on my chair to make the erect position possible, and when, ever l do not have to look. at my conv l throw the neck back.
 When taking dictation it ia nui+o easy to keep the head up and I ar range my notes on a rack on tbo level with my eyes. Naturally. use the touch system, so the keys need not be watched.
 "Often, when working in a room bv myself l twist my head and take neck. stretching movements while writing to fight off the double chin and sag. ging throat muscles that are so com. mon for women who sit at a desk or piano much.
 "The way l happened to think of combining neck development and work was by watching my grandmotb. CT. Her throat is as thin and supple as a girls, though she is nearly SO and she has none of the sagging lines that most of us connect with age.
 She told me that whenever she got a chance during the day whenever she had to plan any of her work or wanted minutes rest, she sat with her eyes turned heavenward, her chest up and the muscles at the back of the neck contracted. 7.
 Often as she sat there she would massage the throat muscles with the tips of her fingers or draw the palms of her hands alternately from the line of her chin toward her chest. She usually carried a small tube of cold cream in her pocket and would put just enough on her fingers to keep the skin from getting sore.
 How did she manage about her collar? She never wore one around the house, but had her morning frocks made with a narrow surplice neck to give freedom and air to the throat

Briduet's Beatitudes.

Blessed is the cream instead of milk if one wishes a good cup of tea. It is essential in tea as in coffee.
 Blessed is the scalloped dish made of the leftover turkey and aug mented with sausage. The latter supplies nearly all the required sea soning. Make a light crust of bread crumbs soaked in milk, then beaten with an egg and bit of butter. Cover and bake.
 Blessed are the onions which, in stead of being fried in the usual manner are boiled first. Then flake them, and toss lightly with fork a minute in hot butter. Serve on toast with chopped parsley and the plebeian dish is converted into a ''swell' affair,
 Blessed is the penny dropped in with plum pudding for luck. (But first boil the penny)

ODOR SHOULD BE ELUSIVE
Just Suggestion of Perfume Is All the Really Dainty Girl
 Will Allow Herself.

AE ANY girls who are decked for con- IVA quest unconsciously make them selves a nuisance to every one who comes near them by their choice of perfumes. If they would but learn that heavy scent is vulgar life would be more comfortable for those who come their way.
 The girl who restraints her love of onions for the sake of her fellow man, who would be mortified at the thought of an odor from precipitation, will sat urate herself with cologne or sachets and think she has added the finishing touch of elegance.
 There are some persons who are made ill by even suggestion of per fumery; there are others who become unconscious from the smell of heavy scent in a close room, while still oth- CTS are made to sneeze violently by breathing satchet powder.
 No refined girl would want to make herself nuisance to her neighbors Leaving the question of lack of refine ment out of it, perfumes should not be used excessively from humani- tartan standpoint. We should refrain CTS uncomfortable
 A girl once wondered at her lack of popularity. She was charming girl, but slipped up on many an invi- tation that went to less attractive friends. Her amazement was great when a candid older woman told her that her lack of invitations was due to her love of tuberoses, which she con- stantly wore.
 A heavy odor of perfumery also gives rise to unpleasant suggestions that it is necessary to deaden un- cleanly odors, that it is a substitute for personal daintiness.
 An odor to be permissible should be so elusive as to be almost imper- ceptible. Delicate sachets may be placed among ones clothes. The new American Beauty pad makes every thing fragrant So do the slips of per fumed pasteboard. Toilet waters used after the bath, or in it, rarely are ob jectionable, as they have fresh,
 
 musk, altar of roses, tuberoses or pat chouli, should be tabooed. A drop may make the wearer a nuisance.
 If one cannot refrain from the per fume habit, and this habit is as com mon to certain type of man as to women, at least scent should not be used when one is going into public assemblage. No one has right for a personal qualification to make others miserable
 The doctor who goes to church smelling of iodoform or the germ-fear- ful woman who attends a theater reeking of asafoetida may be no more of nuisance than the girl who has poured the perfume flask over her self as finishing touch to her toilet.

Rose Color for Children.

One of the new quaint tones in pink. which is almost rose colored, is a ia vorite for childrens clothes. Coats and hats are made O. it for street wear, and little slips for older girls are built of it in silk, cashmere. chif. ion, messahne and other new fabrics.
 The coats of old rose are made of supple broadcloth, cut quite severely with large pockets and long sleeves edged with fur.
 There is also a turnover collar of this fur, which may be ermine, beaver dyed squirrel or chinchilla.
 With such a coat goes a broad. brimmed sailor or soft rose beaver trimmed with band of the fur around the crown, with a head of the animal in front.

When Climbinq Stairs.

I have heard girls complain because they have to climb so many flights or stairs in order to reach their rooms. Now, with a little practice they will be able to go up the stairs without feel ing the climb at all Hold the head erect, the chest up, breathe slowly and deeply and put the ball of the foot firmly on each step.
 If you follow this method you VIII soon form the habit of making the climbing task less tiresome.

"Salmaqundi."

This name has come to signify any dish which is mixture of various in- gradients. It is proper, therefore, to give the title to any medley of flavors any mixture of fruits, meats or veg etables.
 But the original salmagundi was a mess of chopped meat and pickled her rings. This was cooked in oil, pepper and onions were added, and the whole highly seasoned with vinegar and spices.
 It takes it's name from the Countess Salmagondi, lady of honor to the wife of Henry of Navarro.
