To make bake or boiled oustard per-
fectly smooth, scald your milk and SCI
aside to cool Then make the custard

A tasty addition TO ham sandwiches
is a pickle or two minced with the

For this purpose broiled ham is Of

For a change add to the scrambled
eggs half a dozen mushrooms cut into
bits and cooked in a teaspoonful of

A dainty and seasonable fruit salad
is made of white cherries, bits of
orange and bananas. served on lettuce,

Another salad combination is seed

ing the standard operas, comic, lyric
and grand, must remain longer at the

During the past two weeks "The
Mikado" and H. NJ S. "Pinafore"

have been, in the judgment of the
critical public, the most perfect that
have been seen in this city for many
years.
Owing to the popular demand "The
Mikado" will be sung Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday matinee and night
Those who have heard It pronounce II
the best production they have ever
seen. and they insist that as only a
few Wilmingtonians saw the produc-
ton. this short revival will be vel
coined.

crate production Of Audran's opera
''The Mascot will be sung. This opera
has just had a long run in New York
city. Besides the beautiful music
contained in fl; the comedy stu
/ ations are side-splitting.

The romper has become an essential
part Of the young child's wardrobe.
They are developed mostly in linen. gal

The best colors are dark blue. brown,
green, tan. and natural colored linen.
Green is perhaps best for summer.
1t is cool looking, and it does not show
grass stains.
Short flowing sleeves are most salts
factory.
For little girls the bloomers are made
somewhat wider than for little boys.
Otherwise there is no difference.
The waist and bloomers are sewed to-
gether at the waistline. and the whole
buttons down the centre back.
There is no trimming, although a little

A prnttu Waist Of Net.

A net waist was seen the other day
that could be easily copied by any girl
who can embroider at all.
It was made Of ecru net in groups OF
half inch lengthwise tucks.
Between each group were stripes of the
plain net covered with hand-embroidered
coin dots in a color.
These dots were set about a half inch
apart and were made Of mercerizedSootton,
that with care could easily be laundered
Two strips Of the dots were used in the
back and four in the front.
Starting at the neck, strip ran the
length Of the shoulder and continued tc
the bottom Of the sleeve.
Horizontal bands of embroidered me-
were used on the collar and cuffs.
This idea could be applied to any ar
rangement Of tuclNng and the dots coul'
be OF any desired color.

respective counties the lone Whittier reform schools
There is too much of this spirit palm off the financial
burden of such matters upon the state treasury thereby
eving those who ought and able to bear the cost AS
the law has been for years. while the county from which
unruy girl the reform school pays the above
cost of maintenance the parent guardian of the child is
required pay the county financially able to do This
provision has wholesome effect in curbng the tendency Of
osng upon the public the of these hayward boys and
girls and of keeping the population of these reformatore
within reasonable bounds 1t is entirely mistaken notion
that by putting the upon the state the various counties
thereby relieved of any financial burden The result is
practically the whether the support of reformatoes
from the treasury solely whether part is
thrown upon the county Treasures with this significant
difference that when the alone cargeabe the
