Airy scarfs for Evening Wear.

1t is almost impossible for women
to give up their dainty, airy scarfs,
which have been worn, or rather
draped, on themselves during the sum-
mer. The latest creations in these
filmsy trifles are made of chiffon of
one color yelled under another and the
whole edge of the long narrow wrap
bordered with marabout. For even
ing wear they are most pleasing and
the edge offers just enough weight to
give the scarf better line than If it
were unornamented. And a little
warmth is not amiss in such an ad-
junct. The delicate evening shades
are charming, while black looks stun
ming when worn with a light-colored
gown.

sooTHES THE TIRED NERVES
Salt Sponge Either In the Morning or
at Night is Most
lnVigoratins.

There are few things more invig-
Grating to tired nerves than q salt
sponge either before going to bed or
first thing in the morning. If one is
inclined to sleeplessenss the latter
time is best, as the salt is decidedly
stimulating.
Sea salt can be bought in boxes and
should be kept in a bathroom closet,
or some place where it is quickly
found.
AS a brine is not made rapidly, it is
wiser, if the bath is to be taken in the
r|orning, to soak a large double hand
full of the. salt in two quarts of boil
ing water over night. Keep in a COW
cred pitcher
When ready to use add two quarts
of fresh water, either tepid or cold, as
preferred. If one likes to sponge in a
tub use more salt, keeping about the
same proportions.
This brine can be used on the face
as well as body, and it does small burt

BY Julia BottomIey.

When one starts out to find a pref
ty bonnet for baby nothing seems
quite good enough unless it is hand
made. And the handmade bonnet is
an expensive affair whose price scars
in proportion to the amount of work
on it and quite out of proportion to
the purse of the average mother,
whose good judgment tells her that
extravaganza is not good taste. But
nothing is too good and dainty for
her baby-fOr there is not another
just like LIS baby lives in all the
world.
If the mother understands lace
making or handkerchief or is clever
with the needle, she will fashion for
herself the handsomest of bonnets
and be more pleased than If she buys,
no matter how long her purse. The
prettiest bonnets are made on the
simplest lines with as much elabora-
ton as one may choose, in the max
ing.
The little Stuart cap shown in Fig
1 made of corded taffeta silk, is the
best shape for infants. By the addi-
ton of face and neck ruff1es it is
adapted to the baby as he grows.
The same cap made of lace and worn
over a silk lining is the handsomest
of headwear, for summer at least.
Pretty bonnets crocheted of silk or
fsot wool. follow the same lines as

and Cd" are the face ruffle and the
cape. A pattern drawn according to
the dimensions given is large enough
for a child year old. Having this
pattern, one can reduce or increase
its size.
Caps made of lace should have
Innings of soft wash silk. These lin
ings are little separate caps made of
the silk. They are very little small
er than the lace cap with which they
are to be worn, and can be removed
at will and laundered as they are only
basted or tackled to the lace. For
cool weather the lace cap lined with
silk is worn over a crocheted cap of

used. The cap of corded taffeta will
serve for all weather except the warm
est. With a plain little crocheted
cap under it, it will serve for winter
wear on those days that are sharply
cold.
This dainty cap is not difficult to
make because one can buy the taffeta
ready corded. 1t comes in white and
colors. Beside the light colors, the
regulation blue and pink and the al
ways appropriate white, there are
darker colors to choose from. Among
these brown is the best for young
babies.
BY cutting the cap according to the
diagram one may shape it to the head

anu Wnere the nrst turkey was found.
A century ago wiser heads than his
did not find the question easy to dis
pose of, and their discussion was i'm
portant enough to attract the atten-
ton of the learned Prof Beckmann.
Some claimed it was first found in
Africa, whence it was brought in early
Gays for the banQuets of the Romans.
Others believe that, because of it's
name. it must have come from Turkey
"a term then applied vaguely to Tar

German name, kalekuter, led to the
assertion that the first specimens had
been shipped from Calcutta; but those
inclining to this opinion were laughed
at by others, who said that kalekuter
was simply the German attempt to
express the birds cry. A few believe
that the bird was an Importation from

heads wagged over the problem the
turkey went straight on gobbling It's
