spend your vacation in fussing over
faded finery. Better take clothes that
will stand the racket. Linen frocks
and suits are wonderfully smart. but
unless you are one of those enviable
persons who never seem to rumple
their gowns don't buy the kind OF
linen that creases. Purchase rather the
basket and hopsacking weaves.
So many women, too, travel in linen
suits, which Is another mistake II the
journey is long one. for at the end
of the trip such a costume is apt to
show too plainly the heat and burden
of the day. Pongee suits either in
natural or dark colors are much the
better choice In one OF the iiiustra-
lions you VIII find a stunning pongee
suit in the natural shade, braided in
self colored soutache. The motor coat
in another cut is a useful garment for
the summer wardrobe. as It may be
brought into use on occasional auto
mobile trips or for wear on the train.
Even II one does not own a motorcar
II Is well to be provided with one OF
the new collapsible auto bonnets.

cars an extra bonnet is not always

WHEN you have become tired Of
serving berries and are looking
around for new culinary fields 10 con-
quer don't turn up your nose at Gus
tards for summer desserts They are
ideal both from the standpoint OF those
who eat and those who cook; easily
made. TO be sure. but not less tooth

crate dishes.
Eggs are no longer prohibitive in
price. and desserts made from them are
so wholesome that the housewife Is
warranted In preparing them often.
OF course a poorly made, watery Gus
tard. with no flavor to speak OF. Is not
tempting. but the real article with some
slight establishment is not 70 be
scorned.

A NEW ICE CREAM FREEZER.

There is a new ice cream freezer that
has no crank and that entails no
further labor than preparing the Gus
tard or cream. turning it into the glass
jar and packing the jar in the ice in
the usual way. After the cream is
used there is no dasher 10 wash. and
there are no cogs or other machinery
TO rust or wear out. Any wooden pail
or tub may be used for the ice pack
ing. The glass Jar in which the freez-
ing is done is covered like a fruit jar
with a rubber ring and glass top. A
metal bale fits into the sides and fas-
tens the cover securely. With the
freezer go a false bottom TO the jar
and a wooden rod. by means Of which

President Taft Is model husband"
People say that this Is because Mrs.
Taft is a model wife" Certainly a
wife can do a great deal by tact and
provision Of home comforts TO bring
her husband up TO the ideal pater ia
milias standard when he thinks and
says nice things about his wife and
home. and these the president never
tires OF saying.
The greatest victory in life is gain

not make strenuous efforts TO repay
such consideration.

carefully brushed out. Shampooing is
done at long intervals. never oftener
than once in two months, and some
times not oftener than every four
months, and for this two fresh eggs
and the juice Of lemon are used with
the first water. The lemon Juice and
a little water are first rubbed into the
scalp and then the eggs. which have
been lightly whipped. The rinsings
are continued after this until no trace
OF the egg remains. and then the hair
is dried In the sun. At night the hair

BIG SPIDER CATCHES MICE

u s7
Instead OF killing large black
spider which he saw in his WORKSHOP
d. A. X. Meas of Morristown, Tenn
concluded to let 1t live and calls u ms
pet. The spider actually catches nilce
and seems to possess a greater lonu
ness for the small rodents than ms
kind usually have for flies
Mr.. Meas is broom manufacturer
Several days ago he was attracted by
the faint cries OF small animal cyl
IDENTIFY In distress. Upon investigation
the diminutive sufferer proved to be 9
small mouse, which had In some way
become entangled in a spiders web IN
one corner of the room in which Mr.
Meas was at work Further inspection
of the victims condition disclosed the
fact that a large black spider was
busily engaged in the task OF binding
or enclosing him in a fine web Of
silken threads.
Becoming interested in the perform
ance, Mr.. Meas watched the mouse
and its struggle with the spider, and
was surprised at the ease with which
the spider seemed to be able to control
its captive. An endless strand OF
silky thread was wound around and
around the mouse until he was unable
to move. Having rendered his victim
helpless, the spider attacked the
mouse at the throat, and its struggles
we're soon over.
A day or two after this first oc'
currence second mouse was enticed
into the spiders web and in like
manner disposed of, and then a third
rodent followed his brothers to the
happy hunting grounds by the same
remarkable route.
Ordinarily a story Of this kind
would be received with derision, and
it is probable that many will be un.
able to credit the narrative in its en-
tirety even now, but Mr.. Meas is still
entertaining the spider, who seems
quite contented with its surroundings
and repetition of the three occur
rences related may be had at any
time the mouse is provided.
