Burninu Scents.

pretty gift and desirable aftlcie iof
the house is a little braZier in which pow
ders of different odors can be burned
The latter can be prepared at home, and
will serve to perfume a room and act as
deodorants in cases OF illness.
These scents are usually small squares
or cubes which burn slowly, and are COM
bined with charcoal and some sort OF
gum to hold them together sometimes
rose water is made into paste with these
ingredients: One ounce each OF gum ben
zoin and nitrate Of potassium, one-half an
ounce each of cascarilla and liquid styraX,
three-eighths Of an ounce OF gum traga-
canth, three-quarters of an ounce OF OIL
banum Qiquid) and ten ounces of charcoal
The powders should be mixed evenly and
the gums reduced to dust. Rose water is
then added until a paste is formed stiff
enough to mold the mass into balls Inns
compound is put away to dry.
Another OdOr, also sweet and spicy, Is
made from two ounces each of olibanum
and benzoin, one-half dram each of oils
caraway, sandal. rhodium and geranium.
One-half ounce of nitrate of potassium and
one pound of powdered charcoal.
The tragacanth and nitrate are dis
solved together. before the other ingre-
dents are added. This must dry before
using.
Extremely simple, and more suitable as
a deodorant is a combination of powde~ s
consisting of half an ounce each OF oliba-
mum, cascarila. cloves, cinnamon. ben
Zon and thyme. These are to be well
mixed and kept in a tightly closed jar.
To use, the powder is thrown on hot
metal, shovel answering the purpose.
Sweet scented sticks. which are not diff
ficult to make. take an ounce each of san
dial wood and gum benZoin, three-quar-
tiers of an ounce of oibanum and half an
ounce each of cascarilla. cinnamon, cloves
and nitre. as wall as three and one-half
ounces of powdered charcoal and one
ounce gum tragacanth. All the ingre-
tlients are powdered and mixed, then made
into paste with rose water. They are
shaped in little sticks and will burn slow
~ when dried.
Few persons know that a room may be
deiciously scented by putting few drops
of any perfumed oil in a basin of boiling
water. For example. three drops of law
ender Oil to pint of water Is good pro-
portion. The water must be boiling in or

dropped in slowly. then perfume is thrown
off. Any scent one chooses can be used in
this way. Too great quantity of oil will

A Parasol to Match the Gown.

MOT every woman knows that it is pos
Y sible to have parasol built from
her frock material at very reasonable
cost. II is often well nigh impossible to
match certain frocks with parasols in just
the right shade. but most of the big shops
will have u parasol built on a handle
which one may select ones self for from
three to five dollars. The parasol is so
important an adjunct in the complete
harmony of the toilet that it should be
carefully selected-quite as carefully as
the hat, in fact.

TT is a question whether the fiaxen-
haired little fraulein who through
long years of patient economy
u boards up a store of sturdy house
linens in a carved chest against the
day of her possible bridal takes any more
real pleasure in her belongings than does
the American maid who accumu!ates
these treasures within a few weeks OF
her actual wedding day.
Tradition and established custom de-
mand that the bride shall come to her
new home well equipped with store OF
household linens, and usually the silver
service to be used by the young pair Is
the gift of a relative of the bride. Each
piece OF table silver, as well as each tow
ell, sheet and p:-ce of table napery. is
marked with the initials of the bride s
r-aiden name. 1t Is considered exceed
ilgly poor taste to have the grooms ini-
tials on either table silver or house
linens.
There is a custom now in this eXtrava-
CANT era of gift-making upon every pos
sible prOVocation for the friends of the
bride-to-be to bestow upon her. after the

back. On the bodice the fOulard was
crossed fichu fashion over the bust and
all around the edge of the fichu went a
two-inch knife pleating of the silk. The
sleeves had similar pleated frills at the
edge, over pleated cream lace, and the
guimpe also was of cream val. With this
pretty frock were worn gray SILK gloves
embroidered in self color, and big black
hat trimmed with tea roses. There is
more and more tendency toward diSpens-
ing with sticky kid giorewear in sultry
summer weather and substituting the
cool, dainty, embroidered gloves, which
are both pretty and practical. These
gloves really cost very little less than
kid, and are infinitely more comfortable
They come with self-colored embroid-
cries and various dainty color combina-
tons and two-tone effects

course, a serviceable and not conspicuous

costume will be rather dressy in charac-

particularly interesting. With this very

Miss Gould's wedding, besides being
marked by utmost elegance in every

many touches of sentiment which proved
the depth of character and winning wom-

who is the favorite, not only of fortune,
but of all of those with w HON she comes
in contact. Orange blossoms dominated
her bridal. She wore them in her veil
and they caught up the lace on her skirt.

The elbow sleeves were of old point
draped over the arm. and the bridal veil
was an heirloom affair of point lace.
The tunic, used much this sea son, is
often seen on wedding gowns, and these
TUNES usually bordered with pearl
trimming or are edged with heavy en-
broidery, small weights in white silk
castings being set underneath to make the
chiffon fall in straight lines. The satin
skirt is also firmly weighted down by a
deep facing Of white brOadcloth to make
the material trail richly over the floor.
A beautiful wedding gown is illustrated,
and this model. with its transparent yoke
and sleeves, is especially well adapted
for June wedding. Hand embroidery, is
used also on this gown, the embroidered
bodice being draped most gracefully
above the net guimpe. Plain net. shirred
