taken that it is not hot enough to burn
the delicate tongue and gums. This
will usually give relief and can be re-
peated frequently with no danger to the
child.
Some of the sheer cotton fabrics re-
quire a lining. a simple way is TO have
the material made up without a lining.
Then have fitted lining of wash china
silk. Basic this into place. This makes
it possible to wash the lining-and the
lining to a summer gown does need laun-
dering frequently.
Ruff1es are to be revived. The girl
graduate, the young matron, the girl
who is neither one nor the other, all
can be furbelowed to their hearts con-
tent. And with the ruf1es have come
back fichus and poke bonnets. Could
any combination be more antiquated?
Yet it is to be the smart thing for the
summer Of 1909. There will be no
starch, no outstanding petticoats, moth
ing to make the effect bouffant. We
can't go that far from what we have
been all in a breath. but we can cover
skirt with ruff1es. little and big, from
hip to hem. Muslins will be made up
with this method; all the soft fabrics
like silk wolfe marduisette, messaline,
and fish net may be ruff1ed.
1t seems that white linen will be worn
less this summer than in former seasons,
but gray, tan, khaki and even darker
shades will be extremely popular.
The coat which is sold for wear in
| stormy weather is quite frequently used
| for a top coat in all kinds of weather.
| Instead of a dull gray affair, without
| style or artistic value, it has now be-
come a smart garment that does not de
| ham
may be worn. Many of the new ones are
| black, made of a soft. satiny cloth that
| has distinct style. Others are in dull
| two-tOned stripes, with collar and cuffs
! of plain material. The bright blue and
red ones should be avoided even by
| school girls, as they are too garish for
| street wear.
! If one has an old Brussels carpet
| which apparently has passed its days OF
| usefulness, it may be made to do service
| for some time in the kitchen. Turn it
| so the wrong side is uppermost, tack it
down and paint it any desirable color
| with ordinary paints. 1t will wear quite
| as we'll as linoleum.
Peanut salad is very tasty salad in
warm weather. Remove the skins from
| fresh roasted peanuts, chop but not very
fine, and add an equal quantity of crisp
celery diced. Serve on tender young
| lettuce leaves. with the following dress
ing: Beat the yOlks Of two eggs we'll and
stir in half teaspoonful of salt and
| half a teaspOonful of mustard. Add
| slowly four tablcspoonfuls of melted but
ter and six tablespoonful of vinegar.
| Cook in a double boiler until the mixture
| thickens. Remove from the fire and add
the whites of the eggs beaten stiff. When
cold and ready to serve, add a cupful
| of whipped cream.
If one wishes ever so little stiffening
| in lingerie waist, add a little boraX
to the water used for sprinkling. Then
iron when still pretty damp.
Mercerized thread is preferred to the
flo silk by many for embroidering hos
| iery. The wearing qualities are better
than the silk, while the appearance is
! quite similar.
| A vegetable salad served in followed
| beets is attractive to the eye as well as
| tasty. If the beets are placed in splced
vinegar for few hours 1t adds to the
piquancy of the dish.
| Top coats of scarlet flannel with pom
gee collars and cuffs and fastening with
| gilt buttons are considered quite smart
for wear with one-piece frocks OF pom
| gee. These are quite long, cut on
straight lines with tailored collars and
revers and mannish cuffs, and will be
popular for driving and motoring. Gut
away coats with three or five buttons
are also in good style for all-around
service coats. For these light weight
| tweeds, serge, soft taffeta, and pongee
are the most used fabrics. For travelling
there was an entirely comfortable ana
good-looking coat of black and white
checked shepherds plaid, cut three-quar-
| ter length.
The girl who suffers with her feet as
| soon as summer comes Will often ma
relief by bathing them frequently with
| cologne or alcohol. Do not begrudge the
time spent in removing shoes and stock
| ings to battle the feet whenever espe-
cially tired. To suffer with the feet is
great strain on the nervous system, not
| to mention ones temper, than most
women realize; nothing should be count
| ed too much trouble that will give even
temporary relief. Besides cologne rub
bling, the woman of sensitive feet should
| be particular about her shoes and stock
| ings. Counting cost with footgear is the
| greatest mistake she can make. Prob
| ably she can find moderate priced ready
| made shoes that will fit her. but if she
cannot. hunt some one who can combine
comfort with style. and have shoes made
| if they are three times as expensive as
| she is accustomed to pay. If darns hurt
| her feet it is not economy to darn. Buy
cheaper stockings and throw them away
as soon as holes appear: or turn them
over to some member of the family who
knows not the meaning of sensitive feet.
| A serviceable and useful addition to a
| girls summer wardrobe is a knock-about
| shirtwaist we'll cut and simply made.
Such a shirtwaist was made of white
linen. with perfectly plain fronts cut to
give the necessary fullness at the waist.
The body was also plain, and had a
slightly pointed yoke The sleeves were
long and narrow, and were put in at
the shoulders with very little fullness.
They were finished with three-inch open
cuffs. The blouse fastened down the
front under wide plat, double stitched
on the edges, with fiat pearl buttons
that bpttoned through. There was a
| smart little pocket at the left front lust
