Include a Picnic Gown

Picnics so generally form one of the
chief amusements with those who sum-
mer in the country that the wise g!rl
who is planning her vacation wardrobe
would do well to include one or more
gowns particularly adapted to these oc-
casions.
Above all else, select materials that
will wash.
Now, everybody knows that ginghama
and calicoes and lawns can be found all
the way from to 40 cents per yard and
any one who pays 40 is tabooed from
picnics. SO off for the counter where
the cheap things are. There is one
thing about the least expensive pur-
chase. If tasteful it looks we'll When

cost her about a dollar or at most a
dollar and a half. The making VIII
cost either nothing at all or the sum
charged by q simple sewing woman.
Who would dare to appear at picnic
in old frazzled- out things after conten-
plating the price of well adapted dam
tiness and neatness and consequent
added happiness in the event?
A few suggestions for the patterns Tor
the gowns are forthcoming. The one
niece dresses are practical so used and
are easy to make. The fitting of them
is sometimes thought of as difficult, but
on the contrary it is quite easy, espe-
cially in the case of those which have
q separate front panel Just simple

and having corresponding fiat plaits on
the side opposite the buttons, can be
made in no time and may have seven
eighth length sleeves. with either plain
or slightly trimmed reversed collars
and cuffs. The collar NAV be fastened
with little pin or a color accent may
be added by means of dark tie. While
upon the subject of one-piece designs,
a simple one is made of blue gingham.
The waist fits closely, is jumper in
fact, with the shoulder straps buttoned
a little to the front of the shoulder
seam. The edges are bound with
darker shade and the guimpe is made
of plain white garnished with the en-
broidery above suggested-just few
lines of it to relieve the severity and
to give a soft finish to the collar.

A PERPLEXING question to every
u housewife who does her own work
"A is: How shall / keep my hands
in good condition."
1t means careful attention for few
moments daily, and your manicuring
implements need not cost you much. A
fine, pliable file, a small orange wood
stick, light buffer, a good nail polish,
bottle of peroxide of hydrogen and a
lotion. all of which can be bought OF
your nearest druggist will supply your
needs.
After your dishes are washed and
put away in the morning, while the Gu
ticle is soft and the nails are pliable,
take your orange wood stick, dip 1t in
the peroxide, and you will find you can
readily erase all evidence of cuticle at
the base of the nail and at the same
time the peroxide will heal the hang
nail" or any wound you may have
near the nails.
After each nail has been carefully
looked over, dip the hands in warm
water rinse off the peroxide thorough
ly, then while the hands are still damp
apply the lotion. Now your nails are
ready to file. A well-rounded nail is
always refined, and much better for
the finger tips than the pointed nail.
as filing the. nails too closely at the
corners will cause unsightly callouses.
The polish now may be applied with
the buffer. An excellent whitening and
healing lotion is composed of twenty
drops of compound tincture of benzoin,
four drains alcohol, one dram rose
water and two ounces of glycerin.

HINTS TO H0UsEKEEPERS

If water has a slight taste or smell it
is impure Flltering is then not quite
enough. A small piece of alum to each
bucketful drawn will purify water Won
derfully and conduce to health. Water
should be all negative-without taste,
smell, color or deposit after standing.
While maple syrup still has the deli
cate spring flavor remember to serve
it at least once as a hot syrup on plain
vanilla ice cream or over crushed ice
The maple syrup should be boiled until
it spins a thin thread, and then the
dish containing it should be put into
hot water to keep it at that stage. II
crushed ice is used, serve in deep soup
plates with a little pitcher of the syrup
to each diner. In either case, turn the
hot syrup over the cream or ice and
eat it with q fork as it wakes.
Soft shell crabs are good only when
freshly caught, as the shells harden
after twenty-four hours. Remove the
sand bags and the shaggy bits from
the side; then wash and wipe; sprinkle
with salt and pepper; roll in bread
crumbs, then in egg, then in crumbs;
fry in smoking hot lard, or, much bet
ter, in good olive oil.
Eggs fried in sweet oil make a pleas
ant variety and are more delicate than
the usual fried egg. Put about two
tablespoonfuls of olive oil in a hot
SPIDER when the oil is hot break IN
one egg, then another; by the time the
second egg is in the pan the first will
be ready to fold over. By the time the
second is folded the first is reay to take
out. Repeat until enough eggs are
cooked.
AS tasty a dish as one could wish is
fried chicken with rice and fried Span
sh sweet potatoes To prepare the
peppers, drain them from the can, cut
them in two and fry them in butter.
Put border of hot boiled rice around
the platter the chicken in the center
and the peppers dotted around on the
rice. Fried green peppers are also
tasty with the chicken and rice. Or
stuffed and baked green peppers may
be employed.
For a refreshing dinner salad, toss
white cherries, bits of orange and
banana in French dressing and serve
on lettuce leaves

BLooMERs FOR THE GIRLS

One clever woman, who is the mother
of three sturdy little girls, has success
fully solved the summer white petticoat
problem. Now the terror of ''Washday''
has been greatly lessened and the num-
Der of little garments decreased.
For each little frock the mother
makes tiny pair of bloomers of the
same material, and this is an excel
lent plan, for the little bloomers are
undoubtedly cooler and much more
comfortable than stiffly starched white
petticcats
They are quite scanty and fasten
above the knees with a buttoned strap
that fits rather loosely, thus avoiding
an elastic and the hot, tight gathers
it causes.
1t requires very little material to
make these bloomers, and they are
most practical in a family where there
are several little folks, for they save
fine white petticoats from the ravages
of the laundry, the laundress' temper
and unnecessary expense.
