prlncely custom OF bathing the hands
after meals In basins Of gold containing
scented waters Is referred to, and at
the court OF Queen Elizabeth of Eng
land the pomander was the most i'm
portant perfume holder OF the time
These balls were composed of per
fumes and spices worked together with
a particular sort OF garden mold An
old recipe for making a pomander ball
Ia the following; Take an ounce Of
purest garden mold. clesnsed and
stepped seven days I'm rosewater; then
take the best labdanum, benzoin. stpr-
ak. amber grease. clvet and musk. in
corporate them together and work them
into what form you please.
These "pommcs ~ perfume" were
used as a defense against the evil odors
which then prevailed In the streets and
houses; also as a supposed protection
against the deadly plague and other in
fictitious diseases in the same way that
people I'm these days sprinkle them
selves with eucalyptus or carry cam
phor bags as.c preventive Of influenza.
The originals of the pomanders seen In
the Illustration are in the Kensngton
museum, London.

How to Take Care of Your Cat

What a pity II is that so many peo-
pie neglect their cats A little daily
attention would soon transform the
miserable creatures so often seen into
sleek. comfortable pussies.
Cats should have two good meals a
day at fixed hours anG milk once or
twice besides. Their tastes naturally
differ: but. as a rule, II is best to give
them a mixed dlet--scraps of meat or
fish cut small. little oatmeal or boil
ed rice. bread cut up and soaked in
milk, potatoes and gravy. Green vege-
tables and access to grass are good for
their health, but many town cats are
denied this latter privilege. But the
owner of handsome coon" cat got
over tho difficulty In this way. She
grew oats in n window box for her pet.
The seeds were first soaked. then plant
ed in the window box, and In a little
while green stalks began to show and
were cut off for httie's delcctation.
Indeed, so fond of the green sprouts
did the cat become that II was neces-
sary to build little wire cage about
the oats box to keep her from helping
herself. Bones of fowl or other meats
should not be given to a cat. as their
splinters are dangerous. Clean drink
ing water should always be available.

TF you are taking time by the fore

mer frocks II may be worth your
- while to note the following hints
- TO what modes will and will not
hold over into the warm weather
OF course one would not think OF MAX

so much in the summer wardrobe that
are perfectly safe propositions these
days.
Possibly you are thinking OF turning
out, with tire aid of a seamstress, some
duck and linen separate skirts TO wear
with shirt waists. These skirts have
become the uniform of the summer
girl, and she needs many OF them
when she goes without a coat The
narrow straight UP and down model Is
the correct style for these skirts which
extend an inch or two beyond the waist
line. But Just here let me digress for
a moment and say n word anent this
same lifted waist line. it will work
well enough with thin sheer materials, |
but It certainly presents Tubing dfii-
culties in the heavier fabrics, such as
linen. which must be shaped smoothly
and plainly over the waist curve.
Where the waist line ~ attached to a
wide. firmly ftted inside girdle these
skirts stay in place securely, but wash
ing and ironing are likely 90 injure
their shapeliness. SO n you are maxi
ing separate linen skirts that will visit

3 Hints For the Spring Bride

This years brides are getting away
from stereotyped costumes in a few
particulars. First OF all. there is the
veil. This need not be of tulle now.
1t can be OF lace. either piece OF rare
old lace handed down through genera
tions or It can be of fine net on which
the running design can be applied by
hand. Here. by the way. Is little Idea
for a gift to the prospective bride
which one OF her girl friends handy
with her needle could, carry out.
When adjusting tho veil a pointed ef-
feet can be given in front, falling over
the simply arranged hair. The modish
veil falls in square lines and is not as

the spring waists IN chiffon is en-
broidered over the front in a braid pat
tern with chain stitching. and the
chains are made up Of alternate black
and white stitches. At a little dis
tance the effect Is much the same as
beading. Persons who have never
worked with two tones Of silk In this
way WIN have 10 study out the meth
I'd. Another handsome waist Is work
