served, ganish with fresh fruit and
whipped cream.
A new bathing cap resembles an auto
mobile hat, but is smaller. 1t is made OF
silk folds and has rosette on each side
Have you noticed the automobile hats
with the rosettes fastened outside the
veil? Some of these hats have bow, band
and ties of patent leather
A young woman who has to economic
space when packing, and who goes for an
extended vacation provides herself with
several crown bands and bows for one
hat. With black or burnt sailor and a
band and bow of pink, amethyst, green,
black, blue, one may be able to appear
with hat to match various costumes
without the trouble to carry about many
hat boxes.
The Dutch collar is the most comfort
able of any for hot weather. But is it
becoming? If not, choose one that suits
your style.
A vacation convenience is the smallest
wire toaster that you can find. In case
of emergency it may rest over the gas
globe or lamp chimney to heat curling
irons without holding nor smoking them,
or to heat water in a small tin cup kept
for this purpose. 1t is often difficult for
the summer boarder or visitor to get even
cup of hot water just when wanted.
If one has an alcohol stove along, the al
cohol even may give out, but gas
burner or lamp of some sort is always
at hand, and the tiny toaster and tin
cup will do the rest.
The tin covers for pots, kettles and
pans are sometimes hard to keep in order
as they do not readily hang up or lie on
the shelf. Some one has suggested that
a strong wire may be fastened by a screw
at each end along the front of the shelf
where pots and pans are kept, and the
lids slipped in between the wire and shelf,
standing in bright and shining row.
wall at the back of the shelf, four or
five inches above it, and the lids arranged
in row back Of this wire.
Inlaid applique embroidery for table
covers is effective and easily done. A
bold pattern of conventional design is
suitable. 1t may be in detached figures
or border Be sure that it is an ap-
plique and not an embroidery pattern.
For colors use with natural colored linen
an inlay of pink or green. With brown
| nnen use EelloW OF ecru. WIN green
use white or pink. Basic the inlay on the
back of the material, the right side of
the applique against the wrong side of
the cover On the right side follow the
outline of the pattern with fine running
stitch OF machine stitch with light ten
sion. Have the inlay linen half inch
on each side wider than the design.
Cover the outline with soft cord of
harmonizing color and couch it securely
with an over-and-over stitch taken
through both linens. After the COUGHING
is finished, with sharp pointed scissors cut
out the top linen
While iced tea may not be particularly
healthful it is refreshing and will be used.
The ideal way is to make fresh hot tea,
pour it over large piece of ice, then
into glasses of shaved ice. If ice cannot
be so lavishly used, make strong tea sew
eral hours in advance, cool in the refrig-
orator, and ice it when ready for serving.
1t is best if lemon juice is mixed in when
the cold water and ice are added. Ii
lemon is passed with the tea, cut sections
lengthwise of the lemon and have extra
lemon juice in small pitcher. Mint
leaves, lemon verbena, or few drops OF
ginger syrup please some palates. Iced
tea should be served in slender glasses, on
glass saucers or tumbler coasters, and
with long-handled spoons if possible.
Whatever you do in July and August,
keep cool and don't worry nor fret.
