HOUSEKEEPING HINTS.
For Closetless Bedrooms.

There is new fashion of providing for
ones wardrobe in the room without an
ordinary dress closet. which is far better
than the familiar device of stretching
cretonne curtain over a row or hooks.
Into the recess formed by bending back
the sides of a three-fold screen, are fitted
two light wooden shelves; one being
placed at the bottom of the screen and
the other about a foot below the top
edges Hats may be kept on the upper
shelf thus provided, boots will find a rest
ing place on the lower shelf, and hooks
screwed into the under side OF the top
shelf will accommodate number of gar
ments The screen may be placed across
a corner and no one need guess what Is
behind 1t.
Individual Table Napkins.
Where there are several grown-up
daughters living at home, each now has
her individual napery, which Is used
when she entertains her particular CO.
terie of girl friends at luncheon or after
noon tea. On the dainty napkins of fin
est linen are embroidered the fair own
er's favorite flower or her initials or
monogram. and the napkins are scalloped
all around by hand. To match these
embroidered in colors; there are table
runners. also embroidered and ending
at the four corners with long tabs Of
Irish lace through which satin ribbons
are run, falling over the table edge in a
big bow.
Serving Grape Fruit.
Nothing is more refreshing at the sum-
mcr luncheon than grape fruit just off
the ice and served with just soup
con Of maraschino. In serving lunch
con OF several covers 1t is difficult to
have all the sections of grape fruit as
thoroughly chilled as is necessary and
every hostess will appreciate the sec
tional glasses. which make 1t possible
10 serve this refreshing fruit ice cold.
The half section of grape fruit fits Into a
shallow glass cup and between this cup
and tall glass which stands at each place
may be packed finely chopped ice. The
tall glasses stand on plates to match
and there are various sorts ranging from
inexpensive glass sets to most costly ones
of Bohemian or finely cut glass.
In washing the light summer fabrics
the one hope of every woman Is that they
will not fade. Follow these suggestions
and you need have no anxiety on this
point: In washing anything blue put a
handful of salt into the water; green, a
lump of alum: gray or brown, bit OF
oxgall: tan or linen color, hay water.

fering July and August Weather.
There is no better dressed woman now
adays than the clever business girl OF
the better class. whose position calls
for certain dignity. and distinction of
attire and whose salary warrants an
investment in the very best tailoring
and fabrics obtainable. Such a business
woman has very wise little head on
her shoulders, and some of the acumen
and good Judgment that have raised her
TO the position she occupies are expended

of the separate coat-or topcoat, as it is
now called. These coats are being shown
in lightweight broadcloth covert and

many tan covert coats are seen. One
model, styled the printZess, is particu-
larly graceful. having the length and
good lines noticeable in this years best

Good tailoring is the fetish Of the clever

being chosen. This suit. If kept in good

dressed women who can afford to pay
extravagantly for fancy tailored effects
almost invariably have at least one alb

perfect in cut and workmanship, is very
conservative and simple in style and built
along mannish lines.
The wool suit, however. will be unbear-

only possible way to live through the
sultry stretch of our American summer
is to live In tub fabrics. Laundry charges

On Saturday mornings In summertime
all hard and fast rules may be relaxed
bit to meet the requirements of circum-
stances. or, rather. of half holidays. This
day is the day of days to the little wom-
an who is husy over her desk all the
week, and the pretty dress which Is to
grace the afternoons pleasurings will
have to be worn to the office for the few
hours of the morning. 1t would be
heartless employer. indeed, who would
frown upon a simple white summer dress
on a hot summer Saturday In even the
busiest Office. The white dress pictured
today is girlishly simple in style and is
of the type which may pay frequent sat
isfactory visits to the laundress. EN-
broidery is always a wise choice for
such a frock. for 1t has a richer and
more substantial look than lace used
alone as a trimming. In this frock the
embroidery is used very gracefully in
long panels. the skirt, laid in tucks over
the hip being a very practical and en-
tirely modish model for summer wear.
With this pretty dress is worn big
leghorn hat faced with rose-colored silk
and heaped with violets and pink roses.
