HOW
SERVING OF WATERMELON.

How to Use the Rind 40 q Bowl For
the Pink Fruit.
Though most true lovers Of the wa
termelon will insist that the only way
to enjoy the fruit thoroughly is to eat
1t au naturel, as the pickaninnies do,
this is hardly a proper and BETTING
manner for the luncheon table
The commonest method of serving
the melon Is to cut it, not into the
crescent shaped pieces beloved by the
darky, but In pie shaped triangles. 1t
is pleasantest to serve these without
the rind. and for this purpose the fruit
should be carved In the following
manner: Slice of both round ends.
Cut the remaining portion in two.
Then cut the pink centers out OF Ell
Their Of these sections and serve them
on platters of ample size. At the table
pieces may be cut into individual por-
tons.
A more novel method Ia to utilize the
effective green rind as bowl for the
pink center. Cut the melon In half
lengthwise and trim it on the bottom,
that 1t may stand firmly on the plat
ter. 1t may be brought to the table In
this manner or scooped out with a
large berry spoon. The platter should
be garnished with large green leaves
from vine or bush.
When one owns a French potato ball
scoop the pulp may be shaped In little
round balls and served In sherbet
glasses with lemon or pineapple ice.
These balls are also decided addition
to fruit cocktails or fruit hash.
In serving melons one must always
remember to have them and the plat
tiers from which they are to be served
thoroughly chilled. Some people are
OF the opinion that salt brings out
the favor, while others prefer sugar.
The same rule for chilling holds
good with muskmelons. To serve
them with chopped ice In the followed
center Is to detract from their taste,
as well as to bother the consumer.
They may be eaten with sugar, salt,
pepper, cinnamon or salad dressing,

CARE OF SHOES AND HOSE.
How to Clean tho Former and Save
the Latter.

How to Clean the Former and Save
the Latter.
Most girls who have to darn their
own stockings have given up wearing
pumps. The slipping up and down on
the heels would wear out any stockings
In day, and there was not time at
the end Of the week to keep them
mended up.
If trouble is still experienced with all
evening slippers and also the oxford
ties it is an excellent plan to haste
small square of black silk on the out
side Of the stocking just where the
shoe rubs. This will be found a won
derful relief as regards the knowing
that the heel Of ones stocking is sure
to be quite whole, and 1t will also save
the lining of the shoe itself. When
the stocking is rubbed to hole the
creases In turn wear out the lining Of
the shoe.
Just as soon as a shoe lining has
become worn it should be taken to be
mended. For a very small amount
shoe or slipper can be entirely re-
lined, If necessary, and this will save
the stockings extraordinarily. Many
girls now have bit of suede placed at
the inner side Of the heel of the shoe,
thinking 1t will help to keep low shoe
from slipping.
A girl who finds she gets unreason-
ably tired and has constant backaches
from walking on city pavements may
be reasonably sure that the last Of her
shoe is wrong for her and that the heel
is either too high or placed too far for
ward. Rubber heels are also great
fatigue savers in city.
For summer white canvas and white
buckskin are generally worn with
white gowns, but for the morning rus
set shoes and stockings are equally
smart for young girls. To get their
brown shoes to good color they
should take the trouble of always
cleaning and polishing them them
selves. If it is desired to keep the
leather light in color the shoes should
be polished as seldom as possible and
the polish allowed to dry thoroughly
when first applied before being rub
bed. 1t is more fashionable nowadays,
however, for the tan shoes to acquire
as quickly as possible dark reddish
hue. A banana peel rubbed evenly
over the surface and the leather allow
ed to dry out well before being shined
with the liquid polish win darken the
shoes rapidly, and few applications
of sweet oil will give the same result
and also help to make the leather
waterproof. The liquid polish and the
paste must be put on very evenly to
avoid marking and staining, and
clean rag and soft brush should al
ways be used. Special shoe polishing
gloves are now to be bought, which
greatly simplify the process Of home
shoe cleaning, as they keep the hands
absolutely clean

Just as soon as chicks hatch under

The parties who sell these awful

Hens Of big breeds often have filthy

clipped off or the hen will get vent

RA|NEY PREDICTS
SWEEPING VICTORY
FOR THE DEMOCRATS
Declares the Insurgents Have
Failed MiserabIy in Their
Efforts to Do Anything for
the Republicans
(By the Associated Press

EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, Sept. Coon
gresham Henry T. Rainey, chairman of
the Illinois Democratic state convention.
declared today that the efforts of the
"insurgent" congressman had been pur-
poseless and futile, and predicted gen.
eral Democratic victories throughout the
country in the coming election. He said
in part:
The Democratic party is united to-
day as it has not been for IA years. and
the Republican party is divided as it
has never been in all it's history. The
Republican party leaders stand today
more thoroughly discredited than the
leaders of any party have ever been
during all the decades of our history.
"A great leader among the insurgents
in the recent disturbances in the house
might have been able to accomplish
something for the country. During the
last session of congress Insurgent Re-
publican members professed to be
against the Payne-Aldrich bill. They
professed to be against the speaker of
the house of representatives and they
insisted that they were in favor of re-
wishing the rules and charging the COM
mittee on rules in order to make a de-
Lucrative body Recently we have given
them chance to vote to repeal the
Payne-Aldrich bill and everyone of them
voted for it. The speaker of the house
charged them with being traitors to their
party and insisted that they ought to be
hung, not shot; they ought to receive
the punishment usually given to traitors.
and then gave everyone of them an OPP
portunity to depose the speaker.
ALL VOTED FOR CANNON.
Almost without exception they voted
for him, ana so PRESENT speaker of
the house of representatives has the
honor of being twice elected speaker
during the life of one congress. When
the Democrats succeeded in enlarging
the committee on rules, the insurgents
at once held a caucus and refused to ac-
cept positions on that committee, but
declared themselves to be in favor of
going into a Republican caucus and abid-
ing the result, and they did. The eff
feet of this action on their part was
almost to completely nullify the fight
made by the Democrats at the last ses-
sion of congress for the establishment
for a deliberative body. When the
speaker continued his denunciation of
the insurgent members, they finally
fiercely retaliated by shutting off the
gasoline from the automobile purchased
for him by the congress. and this is the
only victory that can be credited in any
way to the insurgent members of con-
gress up to the present time.
