For Iced Tea,

Iced tea has become the national
summer drink, despite the doctors.
Hence some of the interesting novel
ties for the service make acceptable
wedding gifts.
Iced teaspoons with long handles
are rarely given, yet they are almost
essential in tall glasses. Some of them
have followed tubes for handles, used
as straws. They are scarcely as SAM
tary nor are they as handsome as han
dies that can be marked with mono
gram.
There are long-handled spoons to
stand in an iced tea pitcher that are
useful. Those with repousse handles
are especially new. Iced teaspoons
to match make handsome gift.
Tall thin glasses especially for iced
tea are always acceptable. Coed
looking ones can be had very reason
ably, though those in cut glass and
rock crystal are expensive.
Coasters are almost essential with
iced tea glasses, as the moisture gen
Grated is bad for a bare table. The
silver trimmed ones can be used for
all kinds of glasses, but there are
special glass plates or saucers made
for iced tea
AS a smaller gift, silver trimmed
glass plate with small silver fork for
lemon or a silver trimmed glass strain
er and cup for lemon juice are neces-
sary accessories to a complete iced
tea service.

WEAR SHIRT WAIST RIGHT
1t Should Suit Your Style, Be Put on
Properly and Pinned Where
1t Belongs.

III you're going to wear shirt
phatic remark OF one girl to another,
as she surveyed disapprovingly the
blouse worn by another, which
"skewed" in the back and was baggy
under the arms where it should have
been taut and trim
In the first place, suit your shirt
waists to your style. TO some the
severely tailored waists are infinitely
more becoming than any other; while
TO another contingent the more elab-
crate, "dressy" modes are in better
correspondence with the wearer. Dis
cover which kind is best for you and
hold to it.
Then, as to accessories. Frills and
pleat1ngs may not be your style;
Jabots and cascades no better. A short
Jabot may be becoming and one that
falls below the bust line much less so.
This is a discovery you are to make
for yourself, and having made it, don't
be tempted from your knowledge.
Don't think because you wear Gust
shirt waist" you can get into 1T any
Old way. Put it on properly, pin 1t
down where it belongs; establish close
connections with it and the skirt;
make it do you credit. A ten cent per-
Gale will look better and have more
style properly put on than hand en-
broidered linen that isn't And don t
forget it.

Linen Pincushion.

Round pincushions are just now CON
sidered very smart. They are made of
embroidered or lace-trfmmed doilies
and are not in the least difficult unless
one Is sufficiently ambitious to do
ones own embroidery.
A small circular cushion that is not
very thick through is used and the
dolly is placed fiat over this. 1t should
be much larger than the cushion, SO
that the edge extends beyond the cush-
ion all around. The dolly is double, the
under side being plain; this under
side is open in the middle and fastened
together with buttons and buttonholes.
The cushion can thus be slipped in
and out readily when the cover is to
be laundered.

USES FOR RIBBONS
HERE FASHION HAS DRAWN THE
LINE TIGHTLY.
Each Season Demands Changes, the
Majority of Which Are Easily Ac-
complished-CoIor Scheme Al
ways to Be Remembered.

| It might seem at first thought that
FASTEST things in life, but each season
| ushers In its own especial use of the
different widths, If not of particular
kinds and qualities, all of which block
| the way to success through past ex-
perience.
To say that the sash is to be worn
| Is not to mean necessarily the 12-inch
| ribbon that meant sash" a few years
ago; and to proclaim the hat with the
ribbon bow is not to tie any sort of
a little bow and believe ones self
walking the rope of fashion.
| Fashion draws her rope tightly, and
makes little allowance for deviations
| from it's difficult way.
The ribbon as sash is admitted
when in it's softest form 1t hangs in
two long slim ends, very much as If 1t
were bias liberty. To accomplish this
effect the ends are tied sometimes
into knots, with end, and again into
actual bows, which weight them into
graceful fall.
Ribbon may also be folded success
fully into the sash for the waist CIR
die, when, for this use, also, it is of
liberty quality.
The hat bow of the season demands
breadth of ribbon and crispness of
quality.
Ribbon has been used successfully as
tunic edge for the marquisette and
chiffon drapery of the figured foulard
gown, and it is the color touch on
many a pretty garden party frock.
Here, if anywhere, is ribbon at it's
BEST The buttonholed slot provides
successful openings for the slipping in
and out of folded wide ribbons and of
two-inch ribbon velvets. These are
| used in gayest colors on the handsome
white or ecru frock and on the bower
sprigged or embroidered null and the
dotted swiss. Black or lavender rib
| bons slipped into the natural eyelet
spaces in black and white embroid
| cred robes are an unusual treatment
of the summer frock for those who
wear light mourning. "-f-'H- sF
| Always successful as summer neck
| ties are the medium widths of soft
ribbon, whether tied in a bow OF
| knotted into a four-1n-hand.
Color enters largely into the sue
cessful use Of ribbon, and not alone
are the brightest tones called into
requisition in the furnishing of hat
| and gown. The French are fond of a
| certain deep prune ribbon on black
hats, and the combination is not far
from ravishing so unusual is it. Black
ribbon on the dark blue hat or on the
gray hat is as successful as certain
| combinations of black moire ribbon
with burnt straw and with ecru raf6a
| fabric.
Changeable ribbons, last of all, be-
cause they are the newest and also
! for reasons of convenience. Straws
are not easy to match and neither are
| materials, and the two-toned ribbon
| is frequently the only possible hat
! trimming that will shade harmoni-
| ously into both.

CARE OF BLANKETS.

Those who know say that the hot
days of summer are the best for wash
ling blankets and bedding. The hot
sunshine drys them quickly and per-
fectly.
The secret of blanket washing Is to
keep the water through the washing
land rinsing at the same temperature.
Tepid water is best; dissolve the soap
in dish Of water and add to the wa
ter in which the blankets are to be
washed. Never rub soap On blankets.

blankets as the water may be drawn
OF easily and fresh added as 1T be-
comes soiled The rinse water should

Hot Weather Hints for the Baby.

Keep it cool. Watch it's food. Let
it live out doors. Keep it out Of the

water to drink. Battle it often.
Sponging a child often in cool water
will refresh it and keep it from fret

Let it wear as few garments as pos,

prevent chatting. To prevent prickly
heat, battle the child in as hot water
as can be borne. A little boracic acid.

Let the baby sleep out of doors. See
that 1t is in a shady place with a
good draft of air. The less attention
and handling it receives the better.

Second That l am opposed to the
