Late Summer Styles.

One sees nothing but lingerie. cotton.
voile, lace and materials like that now
adays. and. as most people have bought
all the frocks they are going to have this
summer. there is not very much to say
about them. OF one thing there is no
question, and that is there is nothing so
successful as simplicity. 1t has been so
much the fashion to mix embroideries,
laces. fringes. buttons, that the tempta-
ton to go wrong with trimming has been
great this season for those who like their
frocks to look as If they are worth the
money they pay for them The best meth
cd in such circumstances is to insist upon
sketch before ordering a dress, unless
the model is there beforehand, as endless
trouble may ensue If the dressmaker is
allowed to dab on all the things she pre-
poses.
One woman ordered a lingerie frock
a short time ago. and she unwisely said.
II will leave 1t to you." to the amiable
modiste. The result was frankly appall-
ing. The dress looks like a bedspread
made up of odd bits of lace. embroidery.
tucks. frills, fringe and everything one
can think of in white materials No line
but must have come back torn after the
first cleaning. 1t is far better to turn
deaf ear to the voice of these plausible
dressmakers and really cultivate one S
out much firmness Of spirit and a good
deal Of study. Nevertheless, it Is worth
while. and one might begin this summer
and so be prepared for the autumn mod
els when they come out.
Just as we are learning the comforts
of the narrow skirt-narrow, of course,
within reason-along comes a ripping ru-
NOR from the dressnlakers saying skirts
are widening. True, the threat has so
often hung like dark cloud above our
hobbled wardrobes,s and then passed
gently into nothingness, that it has lost it's
portent. Nevertheless, We may expect
some strategic movements on the part of
the modistes who have no notion of al
lowing us to make our frocks do an
other season. The glory of getting two
frocks for what we paid for the material
In one is so good that the sworn devo-
tees of narrow skirts ought to get to-
getller and make some determined and
concentrated movement against the Gre
ators Of clothes.

THE DAILY CHIT-cHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

| To have to wait on a sick person In ad-
dition to doing ones regular work IL hard,
! no matter how well beloved the invalid.
Every one who has ever tried amateur
nursing knows that.
| But there is one thing even more Try
| ing, and that is to be Obliged to be wait
ed on by some one who has other work
to do, no matter how well intentioned and
| affectionate the nurse. Every one VINO
| has ever been amateur nursed must en-
phatically realize that
For the sake both of the amateur nurse
and the amateur nursee may ! suggest a
| few simple rules gained from experiences
on both sides of the fence?
| Before bringing up the tray stand 10
the patient imagine yourself eating the
meal spread upon it. BY doing this you
may recall to mind any implement or ac-
| cessory, such as spoon or fork or salt or
sugar, which you have forgotten. These
things seem small TO you. but to the pa
tient they mean much. He does not Ike
to ask you to go downstairs for the salt,
and yet the absence of ii may spoil his
egg for him.
If you are Obliged to he absent for
some time give your invalid piece OF
paper and a pencil, that he may write
ing your absence and not have to carry
them in his head.
Tidy up the room, and especially the
bed. frequently. We all know how cut
tered with magazines and books ana SO
forth a sick bed can become. We dont
realize how much such confusion tires.
A student of labor conditions says that
bricklayer can't do his work half SO
well when standing on a cluttered moor.
The patient himself may not fully real
ize the bad effect of the clutter. but he
suffers from ii just the same.
Acquire if you can the fine art OF ar
ranging pillows. Most people when called
upon to arrange pillows simply plump
down couple at your back and let II go
at that. / don't think one can ever SIT
up comfortably In bed with less than three
pillows: and they should be scientincally
arranged to support the middle OF tne
back, the shoulders and the head.
Have your patient sit up in big easy
chair instead of in bed when possible, as
sitting up in bed is very tiring.
Never forget how much longer time
seems to the invalid, reckoning in terms
of pain and ennui. than Ii does to you,
reckoning in terms Of activity.
Do not insist upon doing things for the
invalid when he feels that you are over
taxing yourself. F'retting over this may
do him more harm than your service
would do good
And above all things remember that
unless you give In love and forbearance
and cheerfulness the value of your eerv-
ice is nil. For grudging service to the
sick Is quite as cruel as neglect.

Modes of the Moment.

There is nothing so comfortable nor so
convenient for country house wear as a
soft neglige to slip on in the morning
before the strenuous work OF the day
begins. A great many women would
rather possess a pretty negiige than the
smartest walking gown imaginable, and
when one considers how universally be-
coming the semf-dressy negliges are one
does not wonder at this preference.
While the woman Of taste wisely de-
mands linens and serges for the stern
business Of the day, she naturally turns
to the more feminine charms OF the tea
gown draperies, the graceful house frock
and the smart. II simple. dinner gown for
the hours that are spent indoors.
And so this Is the time OF the year
when the fashionable woman looks to the
designers of gowns for novelties In tea
gowns and simple indoor frocks, and the
designers, for their part. rise to the occa-
sion with a wealth Of new ideas In color
blending and draping. for 1t Is in these
two arts that the success OF the tea gown
lies.
The fashion of the moment is all for
rich fabrics and embroidered materials
softly veiled with semi-transparent dra.
peries- A touch OF black is present on all
the smartest creations.

Spots on Linen.

When your table linen or fine doilies be-
come stained or spotted with anything
that will not easily wash out. be sure to
remove the spot before sending the linen
to the laundry.
Berry and fruit stains can be removed
very easily by holding the cloth tightly
over the top OF q bowl and pouring boil
Ing water very slowly Through the mark
until IL disappears.
Salt dampened with lemon juice laid on
the spot and subjected to the hot sun will
remove ink spots from linen.
One Of the hardest stains to take out
Of fine linen Is that made by the lead OF
an indelible pencil Great care must be
taken to clean this kind Of a spot or your
linen will be ruined. Under no circum-
stances touch water to such a spot.
Mix together four tablespoonfuls OF per-
oxide OF hydrogen and four tablespoonfuls

SUMMER AND
AUTUMN NOTES

Bordered cheviots and other rough
weaved goods with deep borders are the
newest of the new in fall fabrics. And
very handsome they are. Some OF the
dark mixtures are 'bordered in black In a
ratine effect and others show borders in
a color. few even have plaid borders.
the blocks accentuated by narrow cross
stripes Of the fuzzy ratine finish. Some
OF the ratine is close and fine, resembling
Persian lamb, and some is very coarse
and open.
In the diagonal weaves the borders are
especially attractive. Here the diagonal
pattern is usually adhered to in the bor-
dering, q difference being made only in
the color-tan on a green diagonal, TOR
instance, black on a blue. and so forth.
Some weaves are practically serges, AID
the borders on these are fine and well
colored.
On a blouse OF dark blue chiffon a
round yoke is formed of wide black
silk braid. That is filled in with white
embroidered net
Blazer flannel in the various college
colors Is sold at q very reasonable price
now. 1t is just the thing for the girl go
ing of to college in the fall. when she
will want light and bright coat for
wear on cool days when playing tennis
or indulging in other out-of-dOor sports,
and will want fuller play of her arms
than is allowed in fitted coat.
Shot taffeta will be popular mate
rial for autumn dresses, and 1t may
be mentioned that the general colorfng
of the silk must be followed as closely
I in the accessories of the costume as
though a cloth of definite shade were
worn.
Some lovely gowns of shot taffeta
will be accompanied by dainty little
slippers of black with rhinestone
buckles. through the center Of which is
drawn a puff of the shot silk. The eff
feet is charming.
Sometimes it Is only the lining Of a
bag which carries out the color scheme
Of a costume. In the gold and tapes
try and brocade bags this is especially
the case. When the bag is opened the
sudden CLEAN of rich silk in the same
tone as the gown or the suit is very
pretty.
The side frill appears on every sort

Resting Properly.

There are comparatively few women
who go to the seashore or to the country
to rest. If their vacation comes rather
late in the summer they are literally fag-
ged out by the heat, the congestion. the
noise and eternal unrest of the city Such
being the case, there Is only one way of
insuring health during the busy social or
work days to come, and that is to make
a business of recuperating.
Approached on the subject of the rest
giving vacation, a noted physician gave
the following reasonable and easily OBJ
erved rules:
Get up before o'clock in the morning.
Seek a quiet, shady spot and stretch out
lazily on deck chair. Think restful
thoughts while allowing your entire body
At IL o'clock walk leisurely to the
beach. If your circulation Is good battle
vigorously in the sea. Have with you q
glassful of fresh milk In a bottle. When
after your ocean dip add pinch of salt
and a pinch of bicarbonate OF soda to the
milk. then sip it slowly.
A medium warm tub bath with salt dis
solved in the water may be substituted
for the sea dip. Do not stay in the water
longer than five minutes at first: gradual
ly increase the length of time after a
few days.
For luncheOn choose the lighter foods,
fish, chicken. vegetables, salad and fruits,
Afterward go directly to your room.
which should be quiet one with a large
window shaded or a dark blind Lie down
for two straight hours, body relaxed. Be
sure to remove all tight clothing, to take
down the hair and to pull the blind over
the open window. Do this every day OF
your vacation, and you will come to luxu-
riate in the soothing hours in the quiet of
the darkened room-a two-hour tonic for
tattered nerves.
and take short walk, preceded by cup
of tea and light sandwich or cake. Eat
good, wholesome dinner, following it II
possible by a motor or carriage ride. II
these conveyances are not available sit
out Of doors before dinner instead of
walking, then take the walk after you
have dined Get comfortably weary, but
not fatigued.
II you are annoyed by the bites Of in
sects sponge with a solution OF bicarbon-
ate of soda. Drink freely of a mixture of
cream OF tartar and water. a tablespoon
full Of the cream of tartar to a quart of
water. This drink is refreshing and COOL
ing to the entire system.
Do not sit on damp grass. Drink spar
ingly OF water while travelling and shun
iced beverages.
Last and most emphatically. vary your
occupations. Avoid the things OF every
day home life. Relaxation for the body
and mind b the watchword of the sue
cessful rest cure.
