IDEAS IN USE OF TRIMMING
Paris Designers Are Using White,
Washable TulIe in a Most Efec-
tive and Artistic Way.

White washable tulle is the smart
material for blouses. and Charuit in
Paris is darning this tulle in a most
effective and artistic way.
Blouses are really much changed.
AS they are designed to give a long
line from neck to waist, the trimming
is generally vertical. Stripes produced
by darning linen thread into tulle is
the newest idea The stripes run up
and down except on the sleeves, where
they are, darned in horizontal lines.
With a blouse of this sort crocheted
buttons are used.
A new idea for waist is to use
thin satin finely tucked. Instead of
shallow yoke, the tucks extend right
up to the neck, where the waist is
finished with a transparent band of
white lace, forming the stock. Models
of this sort sometimes have no other
touch of lace save this white collar,
and then again they fasten down the
front with lace-covered buttons.
Lingerie as well as coarse linen col
lars in both the Dutch and sailor
forms are among the little dress ac-
cessories which will be much worn
this spring. There is no doubt that
they give a pretty becoming touch to
a tailored coat. Of course. they have
novel touch this season, or they
would not be worth considering. Their
new features is that they button down
to the coat, and they do so in de-
cidedly conspicuous manner, for the
buttons are usually large and the
bound buttonholes are larger still.
The white lingerie collars with in
sets of heavy lace or decorated with
hand-embroidered design fasten to the
coat with either pearl or white
crochet buttons. with the buttonholes
bound with heavy white silk. The
linen collars, which are much more
practical, are generally made of rough
ecru linen, with the buttons either
covered with the linen and showing
perhaps an embroidered design, in
color, or they are covered with satin
matching the shade of the cloth used
for. the coat.

SOME HAIR BRUSHING HINTS
Common Practise That Is Responsible
for Much of Split Hair of
Present Day.

Do not use a brush to remove tan
giles This is a too common practise
that is responsible for much of the
badly split hair of the present day.
Remove tangles with a comb of
smooth, even teeth, used gently and
regularly; then brush steadily from
the roots down to the very end of the
hair
There are few scalps that are not
beenfited by daily brushing for five
minutes. Occasionally. however, when
the hair is fine and delicate, or is fall
ing badly, brushing should be omitted
as tco severe.
Brushing with an unsanitary brush
is worse than nothing. If it is too
much trouble to wash brush after
each using, at least, wash it once
every two days.
This cleanly precaution takes but a
few minutes if a little ammonia is put
in a basin of water and the brush
dipped into it several times, then into
fresh water. Dry quickly in the sun,
and the back is not injured
Do not economic in your brush buy
ing. Cheap bristles tear the hair and
may injure the scalp. A brush with
an air-filled back is advised by many
hairdressers When the hair is not
heavy. a narrow brush, such as is used
for shampooing, is a good choice for
daily brushing, for 1t is more likely to
get into the scalp.

A hot iron and blotting paper will
remove grease from wall paper.
Use strong coffee and few drops
of ammonia to clean black coats.
One tablespoonful of water or milk
should be allowed for each egg in an
omelet.
Rice will absorb three times it's
measure of water and larger quanti-
ty of milk or stock.
Allow from four to six eggs to each
quart Of milk in making custard to
be turned from the mold.
When making hot starch add a
tablespoonful of sugar. This will re-
tain the stiffness longer than usual.
The ordinary French dressing (three
tablespoons oil, one and one-half
tablespoons vinegar, one-quarter level
teaspoon salt, one-eighth level teaspoon
pepper) will moisten one pint of salad.
The creaking of a door can be
stopped by rubbing the hinge with a
little soap or lard. If the door sticks,
soap rubbed on the place where it
binds will allow it to shut easily.
Chamofs gloves should be washed
on the hands with mild soap and wa
ter. Then take off and rinse in water
that is lukewarm and has a table
spoonful of olive oil well mixed before
putting in the gloves. Dry in the
shade.

BEWARE CT THE GASOLINE
AT All Times Extreme Watehfulness
Is Necessary With This Neces-
sary Fluid.

Take warning!" is a motto that
should be pasted in large letters on
every bottle and can Of gasoline that
is Kept in the house.
This cleansing fluid is as useful as
it is dangerous under careless han
ding. Here are a few precautions
which observed will reduce danger to
4 minimum:
Keep it outdoors when not in use, as
IN many cases fire insurance is lost
if it can be proved that gasoline was
on the premises.
Be careful how you clean gloves on
the arm. Dreadful accidents have
happened in this way
Never keep the gasoline can near
the coal oil can. They look too much
alike.
A woman went to light lamp and
discovered that it famed in a cur Gus
way; indeed, shot up almost to the
ceiling. 1t was discovered later that
the maid had filled the lamp with oil
until one can was exhausted, then had
taken the gasoline can, which looked
exactly like it. A slightly smaller
proportion of the oil and great would
have been the tragedy.
Do not close a house for the sum-
mer with gasoline or coal oil In 1t,
though you may think it is securely
put away.

For SimpIe Ijvjno.

Fancy cake is not possible without
butter and eggs in abundance, but it
is not necessary to the health of a
family or the table of good house
keeper There are substitutes, like
fruit-plain or cooked-gingerbread
and cookies. 1t is not fashionable to
eat too much or too often, so those
whose pride suffers in the looping off
process may solve it with that knowl-
edge. But women of fashion do go
to market and select food, keeping in
touch with the novelties as they ap-
pear, and taking advantage of an over
stock whenever it is to be found They
eat as a matter of course, while plain
er folk make feeding a prominent fea-
ture of life. Quality, rather than
quantity, counts with them, for they
have learned that food governs health
in a great measure. They have also
been taught that greediness of appe-
tite is distinctly vulgar.

TOO MUCH ECONOMY
GOOD HABIT CAN BE CARRIED TO
EXTREMES.
Housewife Will Do Well to Guard
Against Penuriousness, In Which
There Can Be No Pos
sibie Saving.

The housewife who is so conscien-
tiously and rigidly economical that
she is always bounded and surround
ed by reversible silk skirts that should
be thrown in the rag bag, or frazzled
centerpieces that could be cut up into
doilies, or lawn scraps that might be
turned into handkerchiefs. should take
a whole day off and learn that every
excess Is a defect" and extremes
weaken"
Sometimes such painful and tedious
economies are necessary. Often they
are not. Once in a while they are
ridiculous. At times it happens that
they even cause misery. Perhaps you
remember with what pangs of wound
ed pride you went to school in the
metamorphosed dress Of your elder
sister. Perhaps you read about the
girl who came back from boarding
school and straightway rejected her
young country lover because his eco
nomical mother had put tucks in his
trousers to provide against his rapid
growth. Anyhow, there are two kinds
of economies and the kind that will
monopolize your time from sunrise to
moonrise and keep you humping for

crochet hooks, and maybe make some
body sour at that, especially when

Foolish Habit to Acquire.
Unless it is a case of have to- the
tendency always to create something
new out of something old is not so
commendable in modern housekeep-
ing as some might think, and for the
following reasons:
In the first place most of us claim
that modern dry goods has not the
durability it was known to have so
years ago. Therefore it doesn't al
ways pay to make over something old.
since much of the wear is gone. Then
there Is always some doubt as to the

thing, and the market for all kinds Of
discards. including furniture as well
as clothes, being always open, it is
generally easy to dispose of things
that are in the way.
Besides. the housewife who wishes
to be classed as "up to date" must
grant herself sufficient leisure to neu-
tralize the domestic strain with social
or intellectual felicities, so a few Of
those laborious economies must be
cut out.
Here are some samples Of erring
economies that increase the burden
of daily housework: A mother with
four children and an excellent income
unraveled knitted sweater that was
little tattered on one shoulder and
sagged on one side and crocheted two
pairs of house slippers of the ravel-
ings.
This used up all of her afternoon
leisure for two weeks. BY darning
carefully and stretching this sweater
a little, which would have taken her
only a few minutes, she could easily
have disposed of it.

a Delicious Sauce.

Summer is the time for steamed
fruit puddings of all sorts. These are
eaten with various sauces or with
cream and sugar
Where wine sauce is not used, a
good hard sauce is the next best
choice. This is rarely well made, as
it is too often gritty rather than
creamy.
The next time you make it try this
method: Have the butter soft, and
stir in gradually powdered sugar in
stead of granulated, which is usually
selected.
When creamy and ready to serve,
stir in quarter of cup of cream,
whipped very stiff, and the we'll

BELTS OF PATENT LEATHER
Probable Forerunner of Return to
Tailored, Ante-FriIIing styles OF
Some Seasons Ago.

Many of the new lingerie dress
models show patent-leather belts in
stead of the embroidered ones that
might be expected. Perhaps this is
the forerunner of return to the tail
ored, ante-frilling styles; at any rate,
it = welcome news for the maid whose
patent-leather belts have lain in idle
ness or been dedicated to tennis these
many seasons.
The buckles are nearly always
square and of metal; the leather-cov-
cred buckles are no more. They are
large, relatively speaking, and no tag
end of leather protrudes beyond them;
they really fasten the belt.

HANDBAGS Match Suits.

If you are dressed in the smartest
manner you will have parasol and
handbag to match your suit. If you
wear white linen you will carry
white linen parasol and white linen
handbag. If your gown is of blue

match and the handbag will be of
foulard. The Paisley gowns with the
Paisley parasols and bags are among
the prettiest novelties of the summer.
