other to stand hard wear in hot weather.
The latter are not so handsome as those
intended for formal use, but it is a mis-
take to think that any makeShift in
the way of a pillow will answer during
the summer.
The chief requisites Of this pillow are
GOODNESS and easy laundering. Neither
Of these prevents the utmost elaboration
of detail, provided proper materials are
used.
Silks velvets and heavy upholstering
materials are not only unsuitable for
summer pillows; they are uncomfortable
to touch. and are themselves ruined from
dust and perspiring humanity. If you
have not enough pillows to permit you
to put away the winter ones, make cool
covers for them.
1t is economy in the end to have two
sets of pillows. Those in use in hot
weather can be stuffed with cheap mate
rails. or you can even fill them yourself
with clover or dried grass filings. Basic

supplied when necessary. II separate
pillows are out of the question, have
| both summer and winter covers to but
ton on.
One of the essentials for nice white
clothes is that they be properly rinsed.
The object of rinsing clothes is to eX-
tract all the soap used in the washing
several waters until every bit of suds is
thoroughly removed. The first rinsing
water should be hot, because hot water
will extract the soap quicker than cold.
If the soap is not all removed it will
make the clothes yellow when they are
put in the bluing water, and this, no
doubt accounts for the yellow clothes
that come from so many laundries and
are the bane of so many housewives.
| When clothes are not to be Starched
| they should be hung out as soon as they
are taken from the bluing water.
Moist hands are a great source of dis
comfort and annoyance to some girls.
The best method of dealing with them
is to add a teaspoonful of sulphate of
zinc to a pint of hot water and keep
the hands immersed in this Tor three Or
four minutes renewing the hot water
as it cools. Then dry and dust the hands
| with a powder consisting of zinc oxide
(half an ounce and French chalk Zone
ounce and a half.
If the garbage pail is neglected it is
sure to become a ready breeding place
for dangerous bacteria and disease germs.
1t should be emptied regularly and care
fully cleaned every few days. Take plen-
ty of strong soapsuds and an old broom
and scrub every bit of the pail and its
lid; then throw in a solution of washing
soda or I've and hot water and scrub 1t
around with a little whsk or sink brush
touching every part of the inside with
the solution. Rinse with clean water and
dry in the sun.
The right kind of vacation for a wom-
an to take is one which is the opposite
of her daily life. For instance, If she
leads quiet, humdrum existence, she
should travel and live in an atmosphere
where something new is happening ev-
cry minute. If, on the contrary, she is
a busy reporter or earns her living on
the stage she ought to go away on Il
farm and live the simple life as close
| the monotony are exactly the two things
she needs. Most women do not know
how to relax completely and throw off
their troubles. They are worrying all
the time, and their nerves are tense.
Never think about anything that is I'M
pleasant. Throw off your troubles eX
cept at the moment when you are really
obliged to deal with them. II you can
only master this art the results will sur
prise you. l have seen a woman with
only one small worry succumb where
another carried a much heavier burden
because she was wise and knew how to
shift the weight of it so that she could
forget it occasionally. Constant ham
mering is what wears out the brightest
intelligence and the braVeSt heart. That
is why no woman should live with
nagging person. There is more than one
kind of vacation, you know. There is
the kind where we actually go away,
and there is another which we can make
right by stalking at home and which con-

erything that is unpleasant-people,

of time until our nerves are rested and
our strength has come back once more.
One of the new work bags has an en-
broidery ring cut in two and serving to
hold out the top. The upper edge of the
bag is shirred over the two pieces of the
ring, which curve downward, and there
is strap handle.
A woman with a dozen yolks of eggs
saved from an angel cake which she had
made dropped them into water and
boiled them ten minutes,' or until they
were mealy. Tfen she served them on
lettuce leaves with French dressing. If
she had chosen, the boiled yolks could
have been powdered with a fork or
through a sieve and mixed with mayon-
naise, formed into balls and served on
lettuce leaves
To make a handkerchief pocket of the
newest kind for white frock, buy two
round flet net mats and crochet them
together, leaving an opening at the top.
1t should be suspended by knotted
crochet cord. White flet net may be
used for the purpose, the edge finished
with buttonholing and the inside darned.
Square mats of cluny or flet may also
be made into very trig pockets, the tops
held out with covered wire to keep them
straight. A lap may be made with a
quarter of another mat finished with a
loop and crocheted button. For the
round pockets there should be loop
at the top with crochet button.
The fashion of wearing transparent
sleeves is certainly a comfortable one
during warm weather, hence its great
popularity, for these sleeves cover every
type of arm ina gina ble-arms SC fat they
resemble small holsters, thin arms, white
arms and sallow ones. Indeed, until one
has spent half an hour in the shopping
district it is hard to believe there could
be such variety of arms. The fashion
may be a pretty one as we'll as a com
Portable one if the wearers would only
back the sleeves with thin white chiffon
or mousseline de sole. This tone may be
