A salad made Of diced cold boiled po-
tatoes, beets and peas, sprinkled gener-
Ously with French dressing, is delicious.
Serve it very cold on lettuce leaves.
Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt has lately
been hllng the engagements of her faith
En- William Jennings Bryan, as lecturer
III western Colorado. These lectures are
held at the ChautauQua meetings.
The day of the typical grabbed old
maid is passed. Even the comic papers
nave ceased TO make fun of spinster
hood IN this guse. Her place has beer
taken by the independent woman who
quickly enough finds her own niche III
the world and who generally has plenty
OF common sense to spare for the benefit
of others.
The old maid of today finds whole
realm OF interest awaiting her and plen-
ty OF work if she only cares to do it. No
longer is she condemned to solitude and
a cat; no longer is spinsterhOod regarded
as term of reprOach and looked upon
as a term to be ashamed of.
1t often happens that a housekeeper,
having engaged a maid for a certain
date, waits in vain for her appearance.
The girl has been told the conditions of
the engagement, and has faithfully prom
listed to take up her work at an APP
pointed time, but in the mean time hav-
ing found place that suits her better,
she takes it and fails to send any in
formation to that effect to the one to
whom she had previously bound herself.
One matrOn, after some unpleasant eX-
periences of this kind, has found rene
dy. When she has engaged a girl who
seems suitable and makes an agreement
with her she retains the good conduct
certificates presented, telling the owner
that they will be given back to her when
she enters her service. Her explanation
of the proceedings is that she wishes to
show them to her husband.
Every bedroom should be provided
with a candlestick with pretty shade.
Summer nights the light from this will
be found quite sufficient. 1t will not
heat the room as the gas or electric light
does, nor will it serve as a strong beacon
light for the mosquitoes, which possibly
Turk without.
To prevent the flounce of a silk skirt
from tlattening, hang it up upside down.
The best way to do this is to fasten
loops of tape to the top edge of the
founce on opposite sides of the skirt and
use these for hangers.
A woman who is partial to blue serge
says that she has discovered way of
freshening it up at home. When her
suit becomes a little dingy or shiny she
gives it a thorough brushing and then
sponges it with blue water and hangs it
in the air to dry. The result, she says,
is pleasantly surprising.
In the desire to keep the cellar cool
do not make the mistake of letting it
become close and musty from lack of
fresh air. The cellar should be as care
fully ventilated as any other part of the
house.
All who like onions will hope that the
odorless onion said to have been pro-
duced by Wing Hop, Chinese gardener
living in California, may soon be placed
upon the market. Wing Hop has for
years been engaged in the philanthropic
labor of trying 10 grow an onion that
should have all the virtues of the old ia
miliar vegetable of that name without
the one quality that has offended so
many of the fastidious. He says now
that his efforts have been crowned with
success.
An article that will appeal to the
young woman who is not content with
the finish on the emergency handkerchief
that she irons by drying it on win,
dow pane, and that will come in con-
veniently many times during stay at
summer hotel, is a small electric iron,
which comes with stove cord and plug,
ready to attach to any electric light fix
ture. The outfit is compactly put up i'll
small oak box, and can be readily
slipped into corner of trunk or suit
case.
Equal parts of turpentine and ammo
MIA make a good remover OF paint from

then rub it hard. Dip in soap suds and
rub it again. Almost any paint stain can
be removed in this way.
A pinch Of soda stirred into milk that
is to be boiled will keep it from curdling.
With the height of the summer season
in sight, the princess remains the popular
frock design-the survival of the fittest.
There are many other styles to be seen,
even where fashion is best represented,
it is true, but almost without exception
their origin obviousl " reverts to the prln-
cess-fitting or semi-httng
The newest feature about it is a revi-
val of the panel front. Often as not the
nanel is repeated in the back, and thus
the ensemble effect. which is a positive
note of the seasons mode, is more en-
Dhatic.
They are very graceful, these gowns
of the long lines and the tendency to
sinuousness, and it requires only the
proper adjustment of waist-line indlca-
ZION. and the further adjustment OF the
seam curves, from shoulder to hip, to
adapt them to any figure that is not too
badly out of proportion. The beauty OF
the princess, and this includes the semi
princess, lies particularly in the he b com
combined with the curve at the waist
that may or may not be indicated by
belt.
why. you are eating hot bread-hot
bread with loads of butter" said the
woman who was thin and pale to the

whom she had just joined at breakfast St;n

People set up ideas. same as savages
