black pumps for the street have been
the chosen styles throughout the hot
days.
The latest belts of heavy gold braid
differ from their predecessors in that
they are of dull rather than of bright
gold.
Stoles and ecclesiastical designs
have crept into the toilette quietly.
but with evident intention to stay for
awhile.
Lace wells are edged on both sides
with fancy borders and serve for
scarfs as we'll as for enveloping the
hat and face.
Wide lace i; used again to encircle
the armholes of dress, often extend
ing far enough into the dress to shape
lace bolero.
A smart little collar and cuff set
consists of sheer batiste and Irish lace
edged with tiny hemstitched pleatings
of the batiste.
Although many skirts have side
trimmings, the hips are given as fiat
treatment as at any time during the
directoire craze.
Pleats set in the side or quite
around the skirt below the knee sug-
gest the returning fulness of this part
of the costume.
A bit of hand embroidery is a
dainty finish to the tight-f1tting shirt
waist sleeve, which is cut pointed
over the wrist.
The guimpe of flesh-colored tulle,
| which has received so much comment,
has been superseded by chemisette
of finest black tulle.
The gray low favored by fashion
able women is really grayish rose
color-having a subtle touch of the
rose beneath the gray.
A new correspondence paper has
white or colored hemstitched borders,

during the evening each one must

represent.
A harvest home is always splendid
fun, especially in the country. A
barn is the best place for the game.
The stalls are strewn with clean hay
and decorated with wheat, green
boughs and Japanese lanterns. The
women come wearing sunbonnets,
gingham gowns and aprons. The men
in knee breeches, big hats trimmed
with onions are carrots. They dance
the barn dance and all other country
dances, winding up with Virginia
reel. The supper should be as orig
inal as possible, with chicken salad,
nuts, fruits and ices.
A Chinese feast is a simple and at
tractive entertainment to be given
on a roomy porch. The porch and
lawn are hung with Chinese lanterns,
while incense sticks give pleasant

should include tea, rice cake, candied
ginger, Chinese nuts.-New Haven

Butter Two Centuries Old.

Ghee is used in India as is butter
In America and European countries,
and, in fact, is butter, so prepared
that it never grows stale, instances
being known of its preservation for
as long as 200 years. In preparing
ghee butter is boiled until all the wat
cry particles and curds have been
thrown off by repeated skimmings.
When the liquor is clear it is poured
into a vessel to cool. When cooled it
is in granulated form and will keep
for years without becoming rancid or
of bad color. Ghee has been found
in deserted castles, where it must
have been left more than two centu-
yies ago.-Popular Mechanics.

THE DEER STORY.

So, my darlings, you want to hear
about when Grandma was little
girl and wore her hair in curls. How
long ago has that been? Yes, more
than fifty years. Do you reckon her
memory can go back that far, through
so many changes? Want her to begin
with the deer story, do you?
Grandma lived in the country, but
her mother made home so pleasant
that little children used to love to
come to see her. One day some little
girls were spending the day with
Grandma. We played dolls, keeping
house, giving dinners and tea parties
to our dolls, and everything nice we
could think of. 1 don't recall one
unkind word we said to each other
all that day.
Late in the evening we were going
to my uncle'S, which was about half
a mile through the woods. We were
in a merry mood, running, skipping
and talking. Just before we reached
his field fence, we saw something
standing in the path looking at us,
seeming to want to make out what
strange animals he saw in the woods
"a deer, a deer" we shouted. AS 1t
still stood there looking at us without
moving, Grandma said, Il do believe
it's a tame deer, children" There
upon she ran to pet it, frisky little
girl that she was. She gave it one
stroke, saying, "Yes, children, It's
tame"-she didn't finish. The deer
was trying to hook Grandma upon it's
great big long, branchy horns. But
she was too quick for it. She fairly
flew, following as she ran, run, chill
dren, run; it's a panther, a panther;
'tain't no deer" We all ran towards
Grandma's home just as fast as our
feet could carry US, screaming as we
ran that a panther had eaten us all
up. Cousin Ruth had her little two

OUR HOUSEKEEPING.

My sister and 1 had some very In
teresting experiences keeping house,
and think they may interest some
little women housekeepers. We two
were left to take charge of father
and three big brothers while our
mother took vacation.
Well, we knew that good cooking
was sure to please, so we resolved to
do our best, to the exclusion of much
housework The very first day, when
my sister and I were flying around
getting luncheon ready, I suddenly
saw that the floor around the wash
tubs was all wet. The tubs had run
over! With much giggling, we
mopped up the water before any one
was the wiser.
But the next day a real calamity
occurred. My sister thought that she
would show off by baking a ginger
bread in fancy shape. So she mixed
it and put it il the oven. But when
it was done she called me with a
cry of horror. The sight was truly
startling.

of inspiration, at looks just like stove

A New English Word.

Mr.. Churchill added a new word to
the English language in one Of his
speeches at Edinburgh on Saturday.
I'VE had a period of bad trade last
year, and the shortfall in our rev.
enue was only million and half.
In Germany there was shortfall of
eight millions, and in the United
States the shortfall was. not less than
nineteen millions" "Shortfall' is not
recognized by any existing dictionary.
but the New English Dictionary"
has only got as far as sauce so
there may yet be time to find room
for it there 1t is much more ex-
pressive word than deficit because
the elements of the compound are ma
tive; the makeup of the word is un-
derstood and felt by everybody, as
we'll as it's secondary meaning.-Dun-

SUCCESSFUL GARDEN PARTY.

Among the simplest and least ex-
pensive ideas for garden and porch
parties are the jig-saw puzzle contest,
the impersonation party, the harvest
moon and the Chinese feast.
When tie flight of the thermome-
ter forbids even an effort at sprightly
conversation, little series of contests
so simple as not to require more than
about half ones brain, will be found
an agreeable way of preceding the
cooling enjoyments of the refresh
ment table. One such contest would
be the cut-up puzzle aforementioned.
When possible, this game Is played
at small tables, allowing each player
a puzzle. The puzzles are rather ex-
pensive, but they may be made at
home for almost nothing. The sim
plest jigsaw is made by taking pic
ture from magazine and pasting 1t
on cardboard and cutting it up in a
number of pieces. Picture postal
cards can be cut up in the same way.
Where the hostess is skilled with the
brush she can paint a picture and cut
it up into small pieces with scroll
saw. Be sure and place cards for
keeping count at each place and give
simple prizes for the two or three
who succeed most often in putting the
different jigsaws together.
Even more simple is an entertain
ing gamee called book reviewing.
Each guest is given slip of paper
and told to write an authors name.
It is then folded over and passed to
the one who writes the title of the
a book on the same paper. The task
of writing authors and titles is con-
tinued for some time. Finally, the
papers are opened and read; the jum-
BILE of authors and books is decidedly
amusing.
For a jolly crowd of young girls
and boys nothing is such fun as an
impersonation party. AS each guest
arrives tho hostess pinS on the hack

A GOOD HUSBAND.

A certain DR.. julien Won Bernauer
has been devoting his attention to the
characteristics of good husband and
how they may be ascertained. He
suggests that the man with a round
face is most desirable, although this
is not sine qua non. The ideal age
of marriage for man is twenty-five,
but to the woman he leaves wide
range-from twenty to forty years of
age The doctor inclines to the view
that the happiest marriages are con-
tracted, as far as the woman is con-
cerned, when she is about thirty-five
years of age. A widow often makes
a good second selection, profting by
her former experience. The most un-
happy marriages are those in which
a young girl falls in love with a
spendthrift or dandy, and marries
him either on account of his profusion
or his dress.-London Globe.

Did as He Was Told.

Some years ago the Yankee schoon-
er Sally Ann, under command of
Captain Spooner, was beating up the
Connecticut River. Mr. Comstock,
the mate, was at his station forward.
According to his notion OF things the
schooner was getting ''leetle" too
near certain mud flats which lay
along the larboard shore, so aft he
went to the captain, and with his hat
cooked on one side said:
"Cap'n Spooner, you're getting a
leetle too close to them flats Hadn't
ye better go about?''
The captain glared at him.
Mr.. Comstock, jest you go for'ard
and tend to your part of the skinner.
I'll tend to mine.'
Mr.. Comstock went for r'ard in high
dudgeon.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

A long face gathers few friends.
From the deepest pit we may see
the stars.
1t is personalities, not principles,
that move the age.
Experience is the name everyone
gives to their mistakes.
Society is noted for what it is not,
rather than what it is.
1t is impossible to defeat an ig-
norant man in an argument.
He who stands most remote from
his age is he who mirrors it best.
We are never more true to our
selves than when we are inconsistent.
A man may save money, but he
need not hope to be saved by money.

THE TRAGEDY OF DRESS.

The relation of dress to manners
and morals is tco obvious to be in
sisted on Ease and self-confidence
are apt to fly away with the conscious
ness that a worn and out-of-fashion
costume is under scrutiny. The
woman who knows that her skirt
hangs badly and that her princess
dress wrinkles everywhere that it
should not wrinkle, however superior
she may be, finds it impossible to
show that manner of graceful suavity
which distinguishes the woman who
comes fresh from the hands of her
maid, who had clothed her in the

The kind of girl who expects her

short lived, no matter how charming

cannot stand the strain long, and he
will turn to some other girl, less at
tractive, perhaps, but who will be
content with the attentions he can
afford to bestow on her. 1t is girls
