RHUBARB WILL PASS
FROM LOCAL MARKET
AFTER WEEK IS OVER

Rhubarb will pass from local market
stalls with the opening Of next week.
and pies made from the fresh-out
product will give way to the canned
article product.
To many Wilmington housewives
this announcement will cause regret.
for the summer season of 1903 has
added new glory and fame to the
wholesome record of the rhubarh
plant. A greater quantity Of this
plant. which enjoys a reputation as
one of natures remedies. has been sold
in the local produce market more this
season than in any season within the
memory Of the dean Of the commission
corps.
This would indicate that the rhubarb
plant is winning a higher place in the
vegetable kingdom. It indicates. too.
that nearby growers are taking ad-
vantage of the increased demand to
find this market a profitable one. A
decade ago most all of the rhubarh
consumed here was grown in the Caro-.
linas and Georgia. but that now is a
thing of the past. only the earlier
arrivals are from those States. This
real demand. which comes when the
plant is mature and sweet. is supplied
by Delaware truck farmers.

GETTING UP MENUEs FOR
DINNERS DURING SlJMME r

A woman who makes Il her business
to get up fashionable dinners for house
wives who wish all care taken from
their hands says that simple decora-
tons and service are the chief thing
to-day.
Flowers never any more hide persons
sitting opposite each other. Low
bowls or vases with a few flowers of
the required color or with all green,
such as asparagus fern, when all green
is more effective. Is better than an
array Of conventionally placed how-
ers
Dainties Of the season are better al
ways than far-fetched and dear
bought novelties which are not Of the
season.
Better a fresh ordinary vegetable
we'll cooked than one OF higher price
badly prepared Elaborate dishes and
trigged up salads are not considered
the thing at smart tables.
If there is a garnish 10 the salad II
should be simple. Curlicues and other
fancy shapes cut with fancy knives
for the top Of the salad. are not for the
private tables.

TIGHT Laoina.

AS a style. it is defunct. like the do
do. There is not the slightest inclina-
ton toward it among the smartly
dressed women of the day
A wasp waist now would attract al
most as much notice as the pantaloon
costume which is starting up here
and there in the world of dress.
AS. a result, feminine movements are
growing passing graceful.
Women look quite natural, even in
the curious medieval dresses that are
now the fashion.
This very naturalness enables them
to wear the most wonderful and strik-
ing colors. without taking away fiom
the refinement of their appearance.
Imagine the effect of being "stufel"
into a gown of maple green foula d.
veiled in indigo blue tullel And yet
this frock was seen at a famous dress
makers the other day. and, in the
long, flowing. graceful lines Of the
mode it was lovely In a tight. con-
stricted costume it would have been

Many prominent men and women

have enrolled themselves as sympathi-
zers, while scores Of doctors have Of
fered to encourage the movement
The leagues has sent out $4,000

the new movement and Partisan corset
makers are working overtime in the
new wasp wasted stays that are be-

Perhaps the Directoire gown has
been responsible for the Anti Corset

through its influence that the French
dressmaSer has failed so far to make
the small waist and full skirt popular

The many-rihbed japanese parasols
are popular this summer. They are
Of silk with quaint little Japanese
characters embroidered or hand
painted on. Those made of Persian
silk handkerchiefs are most attractive
and match up well with the Paisley
scarfs.
A Clio Clio San sunshade Of white
silk was lined with pale lavender and
embroidered with Japanese iris in la

EVOLVES NEW SCHEME TO
SAVE THE LAUNDRY BILLS

One clever woman. who is the moth
er of three sturdy little girls. has sue
cessfully solved the summer white pet
ticoat problem. Now the terror Of
"washday" has been greatly lessencd
and the number Of little garments de-
creased.
For each little frock the mother
makes a tiny pair Of bloomers Of the
same material. and this is an excellent
plan. for the little bloomers are un-
doubtedly cooler and much more COM
Portable than stifhy starched white
petticoats.
They are quite scanty and fasteu
above the knees with a buttoned strap
that fits rather loosely. thus avoiding
an elastic and the hot, tight gathers il

by dressing the children in pale yellow

The a5aby Dress"

One of the latest things from Paris
is the robe Bebe"
1t is certainly decidedly youthful
looking.
Almost too youthful. in fact, for per-
sons who are not entitled to wear IT,
II is just a long-waisted frock tied
around with a broad sash.
The frock is preferably Of simple
silk or muslin.
The sash should be light blue or
pink with a wide bow in the back.
The skirt is short, a couple Of inch
es off the ground.
There is no other trimming. unless
il be bit of fringe for the sash.
The whole idea is a childish frock
on a grown-up girl.

DO NOT PUT A LID
ON THE PAN WHILE
COOKING CABBAGE

When cooking caulifiower, cabbage.
or such savory vegetables never put
lid on the pan. This sounds as though
really you would want all of the odor
to go through the house, but, on the
contrary, It so blends with the air that
II is hardly noticeable; while. If the lid
IS kept on the pan, it will have to be
removed several times while its con-
tents are cooking. and then the con-
centrated steam will pervade the whole
premises and be extremely disagree
able.
It is possible TO cook all kinds Of
vegetables without any odor at all by
placing a large piece Of bread over the
pan; but most housekeeDers feel this
is a great waste, and refuse TO allow
such extravaganza.
Regarding caulifower, II is said that
'if it is turned head downward in the
cooking, it will be quite safe from
whatever scum might settle on the
water This is a very good bit of ad-
vice and one which deserves to be fol-
