"S the season of the year ap-
 s breaches the summertime. in which
 inc sun seems to hang in a burn / & ing glare above, one begins 10
 think of the thing to wear.. some thing that will he cool. and rufie lightly when the breezes blow. Also the best methods to take particular care of the health in order that the extreme heat may not prostrate.
 To cool the blood the old-fashioned "sassafras tea is one of the best reme- dies. It is palatable and very easily made. The root of the sessafras can be obtained at almost any market. It should be shaved into thin bits and then steeped in boiling water. The boiling can continue until the tea Is as strong as one desires 1t. Milk and sugar may be added just the same as with other tea. This remedy several times a day will be found very beneficial. and 1t is also very good for children.
 The diet is one of the best remedies In the summer. Women should eat very little meat and ignore all greasy foods Olive oil should be taken with early summer food. such as dandelons. string beans and spinach. Lemon juice Is also good.
 The daily bath is a great aid. and is preferable at bedtime. quick plunge in the morning is also very healthful- Plenty of warm water and a bland soap with good scrubbing of the whole body at night removes from the pores the waste matter that helps to prevent circulation. During the hot summer months neckwear is one of the main features of keeping cool. Stocks, bow ties, jabots and turn over collars can be made from odd scraps of material. These are all essential to the latest tailored shirtwaist, and they can be made with very little work. In makiug the bow ties 1t is best to cut the ends of one piece. making up small stif bows for the background and holding them together with stif. overlapping folds of material. These bows can be made with only few minutes work.
 Many of the new bows of linen have Roman cutwork ends. the design being buttonholed all around and cut out around the stems. This gives the effect of lace. Other simple collars can be made from lace
 One of the latest summer fashions Is the wearing of sashes, to be worn with the lingerie frocks. The girl who has made 1t a practice to save pieces Of ribbon can easily adopt the fad, as few of the new sashes are tied in the old fashioned bow and ends. Many of the SaSleS are lQ OOuuit SllAPS AAOAh NuANN high under the arm in the back. to give a slight Empire effect, but they are brought to a decided point below the waistline. Instead of bows the knots are sometimes worn, especially by the younger girls. Sometimes a knot will fall at the center of the back and an- other at the head of each streamer. Soft messnline ribbons are preferable to beavy satius. When q soft ribbon Is used It should he wider than when the ribbon has more body. H
 One of the latest fads Is to decorate the slipper toes with embroidery. With the newest suede the decorations look very pretty with rosettes, choux and bows. Flowers and butterfly bows are also used and the work Is that of a few minutes only. The trimming and deco ration of the shoe serves 10 cut the length to a great extent. besides making the slipper look very neat and dainty.
 Rafia parasOls with their beaded handles are one of the oddities of the season. Shopping and kerchIef bugs of the same material are also. being used by many women. The grass makes very novel and pleasing substitute for the older and much more used materials.
 The summer girl has already revived the ruffies of many years ago. Fashions blue pencil had marked them out long ago and it was thought that they would never aSain be worn. Many summer gowns now contain q whole set Of ruff lies and lend pretty effect.
