ALL ABOUT Wells.

quite the latest article which
fashion has ordained shall have its
little moods like the rest is the veil,
The white veil has come into its own
again, as 1t deserves, for it hides a
multitude of complexion sins, and may
even, II carefully selected, take several
years off ones age.
TO wear one that is heavily pat
termed requires a bright color beneath
it, those with a border are kinder and
less obtrusive In their effect.
The black Chantilly falls can be
quite provocative on the right sort Of
hat. but woe betide the woman who
purchases indiscreetly, for they can
convert one into a monument of be-
reayement and mourning If n is not
wary. So insist on a fine. light ground
and let the pattern be not too close or
heavy.
There is a certain half-moon design
in the patterned veilings particularly
subtle in effect; 1t has a certain East
ern touch, quite appropriate in What
is really an Oriental garment.
We are responsible for a distinct
type of veil-the floating veil-that is
so becoming to the regular of feature
and so difficult to wear with grace, 1t
seems to want the tan, straight line,
a certain severity of style that saves
1t from ultra fuffiness. Paris Will
have none of IT,.

To make a portfolio for your school
papers is easy. 1t is made of colored
cover paper. Manila tag board or
heavy writing paper, and is nine by
eleven inches when finished.
Take a sheet of paper thirteen by
twenty inches. Then draw all the
lines shown in the illustration,
Cut on the heavy plain lines. Fold
on the dotted lines.
Measure very carefully and use your
ruler in drawing all lines.
If the paper is heavy and stiff, you
must crease the dotted lines with the
side of the closed scissors points be-
fore you fold the portfolio. Use the
ruler to keep the scissors on the line
and be very careful not to cut through
the paper. If the paper is thin and
soft do not crease it, but fold 1t over
the ruler.
Now you are ready to decorate the
portfolio.
The designs shown we're made by
boys of 9 years.

July, August and September are al

closet, and the extraordinary amount

The most tempting recipes for sum-
mer days are those which tsll of dishes
easily prepared. Elaborate culinary
effects are for cooler weather.
Some new kitchen kinks that have
to do with vegetable cookery are the
following:
To cook green beans-Cut them fine
and put In a kettle in which a table,
spoonful of butter has been melted.
Cover very closely and they will gener-
ate enough moisture To cook without
adding water. Cooked in this way they
are more tender and finer favored
than IL cooked in water. They should
be cooked slowly and protected on the
bottom with an asbestos lid to prevent
burning. They will be done in thirty
minutes.
To cook egg plant-Select a firm
plant, ripe but not soft. Cut into slices
one-half IN inch thick. lay ON a cut
ting board n trim off the skin with
a sabatier, as the sharp-pointed vegeta-
BILE knive are called. Place at once
In cold, sailed water. Let stand for an
, hour, hen beat an egg with a table,
spoonful ofamilk, and dip the slices of
egg plant first in fine crumbs, then
in the liquid, then again in the
crumbs, and brown on both sides in
hot butter. Serve on heated platter at
once.

Summer squash may be cooked rs

Sweet Spanish peppers are a popt,.

Spanish variety. cut in strips and re-
move all the seeds. place in cold sailed

same length of time. Dry and fit Zach
pepper into an individual baking cup
and into each drop an egg, a bit of but

and bake until the & s set.
A tasty dish of macaroni is made
with one-fourth of a pound of mac

boiled tende in hot sailed water. Drain
this and add to it any leftover cold
meat or game, minced fine, with a lit
tie ham or bacon for seasoning. Fla

Question of Providing a Home.

Dear MISS Doom:
Can a husband compel his wife and
children to live at his mothers home If
the wife objects? Must he not provide
her a HON elsewhere? Yours truly,
A STAR READER.
Under the common law, which stii!
prevails in this State, a husband is
compelled to provide a respectable
home for his family. He can compel his
wife and children to live at his mothers
house as long as he provides a re-
spectacle home. Cases havs been
brought in police courts and so decided
1t may be that the husband Is support
ing his parents. To my mind the effort
of every husband should be to give the
girl he takes as his bride as good q
home as she had before her marriage,
n better impossible.
