HOUSE GOWN AT SMALL COST.
Silk and Cotton Fabrics May Be Used
with Excellent Results.

The girl who wants a pretty house
gown at small cost is buying the silk
and cotton fabrics that take the place
of organdie and other thin materials.
These are often Powered in charming
co1ors and also made up in polka dots
and fine self-covered stripes.
The girl who makes her clothes at
home can handle this material quite
easily. She wants one-piece frock
of it slightly curved in at the waist,
fastening down back and cut out in a
slight square at neck
Below the square she insets piece
of embroidered filet net over white
chiffon, Or uses a color, as she prefers.
Above this she puts a narrow band of
lace.
The sleeves are half way to elbow,
fit the arm, and are finished with a
frill of lace and bow of ribbon. There
is quite a new touch in arranging this
elbow frill. A narrow edge of lace is
used around the inside of the arm,
then double box plat at the back
that is five inches deep and has wide
square satin bow at the top.
This is much prettier than the old.
fashioned way of gathering in lace
frill of one width.

Home

A little kerosene added to the wash
water is said to make the clothes extra
white. -
To restore discolored ivory, paint it
with spirits of turpentine and lay in
the sunshine for two or three days.
Save the water in which potatoes
have been. boiled and use it to wash
furnished brass. 1t will come out
as bright as new.
A delicious salad may be made of
grapefruit pulp, white grapes and
stalks of romaine, dressed with oil and
vinegar and sweetened slightly.
To take old stains from marble, mix
one gill of soapsuds and oxgall and
half a gill of turpentine, and as much
fuller's earth as will make a paste,
and rub it on the stains. Leave it
on for few days and then wipe off.

once and never found it to fail"

LIKE THE PARTED PoMpADouR.
Smart Women Quick to Take Up Fan
cy Recently Introduced.

After all the preaching about the
parted pompadour, it didn't come in
until the season was well started. Now
the smart women are rapidly taking
it up. At the opera, at dinner dances,
at the theater, and wherever women
gather with bare heads the parted
pompadour is the mode of the mo-
ment.
1t is doubtful if the small roll of
hair over the temples could be digni-
fed by the name of pompadour. 1t
stands out little from the face. It is
slightly waved, more often at home
than on the irons of the hairdresser.
The parting is on the left side and
the hair brushed away from it in man
fashion.
At the right side of the part the
hair sweeps down over the brow and
across the temples in large ripping
wave. The left side goes back over
the ear and is tucked into the small
Psyche knot that stands straight out
from the head.
Every one thought this parted POM
padour would be unbecoming; on the
contrary, it is quite attractive and a
charming relief from the mass Of
ruffed and rated hair that we have
been wearing over the brow for years.
Whatever rats or crepes are put
into the hair to keep it out now are
used at the sides. They must not go
across the back except under the
Psyche knot.
The correct couture adopted by the
majority has the hair brushed up
smoothly from the nape of the neck
to the knot itself There is no bulg
ing out or sagging down. 1t is clean
Grecian sweep, usually held in place
by wide barette.

Grease on Carpets.

An excellent paste for getting grease
from carpets is made by mixing full
ler's earth with little ammonia. This
mixture should be quite thick and
should be applied with a lavish hand.
Let it remain over night, then brush
off with stiff brush. Sometimes it is
necessary to put on a second supply.
If the colors of the carpet are delicate
and there is danger of discoloring, the
ammonia may be omitted. Should the
tone of the carpet seem to be dull
after the grease is out, the color may
be freshened by sweeping with moist
salt

ray TINS BEEF TEA PUDDING.
Very Nutritious and Frequently win
Tempt lnvalid's Appetite.

Beef tea pudding is very nutritious
and is generally much relished Dy
those who declare they could not touch
beef tea in any form.
Take half a cupful of white or brown
bread crumbs, one egg, and one tea
cupful of beef tea. Put the crumbs
into basin make the beef tea not
and pour over. Let 1t stand for lew
minutes. Beat the egg well. and mix
it with a little cold beef to keep the
egg from curdling. Add to tie crumbs
ETC., and either bake for twenty min
utes or steam for thirty minutes.
The necessary salt should be in the
beef tea; but of course invalids, as a
rule, are allowed very little seasoning.
If permitted, a little good mush-
room catsup might be served with 1t.
A savory cup custard might be made
as above emitting the bread crumbs,
and allowing only half the quantity OF
beef tea. Beat up the egg. Add the
beef tea cold: Pour into buttered
cup, cover with buttered paper and
steam gently for ten minutes. Turn
| out and serve hot.
When beef tea is ordered for chill
dren who are sick or delicate, it will
frequently be found more palatable for
them if, instead of salt, sugar be used.
This is done in many hospitals, so
there is no reason why it should not
| be a common practice in our homes.
And another hint l should like to
give in connection with beef tea is to
turn it into a jelly for a change. For
half pint of beef tea, dissolve one
teaspoonful of powdered gelatine in it
while warm, add sugar to taste, and
either glass of sherry or a good
homemade ginger wine. Turn into a
wet mold, and it will stiffen like an
ordinary jelly-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Physical Culture to Save Figures.

New York young women of society
have entered with ardor upon a new
system of physical culture, with a view
to adding harmony to their figures and
preserving them from irregu1arity of
line. They have placed themselves
under the instruction of an actress
who retains her physical symmetry,
though she is no longer young. This
woman points to herself as proof of
the efficacy of her system. It embraces
the varied use of elastic devices of va
rious size and weights. These contriv-
ances are used in many ways, the
work being graded with a view to in
dividual needs. Medicine balls of
graded sizes and weights also are used,
and the teacher also puts her pupils
through vigorous movements of arms
and body, which bring all the muscles
into play.

To Freshen Black Clothes.

A woman who has worn black for
years says she keeps her clothes fresh
with a mixture made as follows:
Buy five cents worth of borax and
ten cents worth of camphor gum. Put
them into a large bowl, breaking the
camphor gum into small pieces. Pour
over this quart of boiling water, stir
ring to dissolve the borax. All the
camphor will not dissolve. When cool
put it into a bottle and cork tightly
When ready to use it pour a little into
a basin, diluting it with the guam
tity of cold water. Wet stocking
with this and sponge your black goods
pressing afterward. This will remove
all spots and grease and restore the

one tablespoonful of butter in a frying

Helm for the Stout,

three weeks, and lost it very satisfac-
torily from her hips, declares that the
feat was accomplished by simply drop
ping and picking up a handkerchief 20
times night and morning. Standing
in her stocking feet and without her
corsets, she drops the handkerchief
directly in front of her toes and stoops
to pick it up ten times with one hand
and ten times with the other; the
trick, of course, being to recover the
whisp of cambria without bending the
