New Drinks for Hot Days


glasses over crushed Ice 1t will be very
refreshing and a change from the ever
present lemonade. The pineapple juice
left over froi | preserving makes nice
drinks, and Gouffe recommends a
drink from cherry juice.
The secret of making these bever-
ages successfully lies in having an
abundance of crushed Ice in the glasses
and everything as cold as possible, for
fruit juices are likely to be cloying un-
less thoroughly chilled. Many per
sons think they don't like unfermentet
grape juice because it is usually served
without ice. If one has scruples
against the use of ice in a beverage
the water used in thinning the fruit
juice should be as cold as possible; In
fact, almost freezing.
When time will allow, drinks prepared
from fruit juice nay be half frozen in
the ice-cream freezer, in which case
they should be thinned considerably
with water.

THERE is nothing like a refreshing
ice-cold beverage to keep the fam
lily spirits at the normal level when
the temperature registers 80 odd in the
shade. When c~arbonated water, ice
cream and similar hot-weather refresh
ments are within reach, a constant
variety of these drinks may be sup
piled. There is no need of serving
lemonade continually. There are plenty
of other drinks which are more econom
ical and which a be prepared at a
moments notice-more quickly. in fact,
than lemonade.
Fruit juice simply thinned with car
donated water makes a delicious drink,
and chilled coffee or chocolate. with a
big spoonful of ice-cream floating on
top, is sure to be appreciated.
The juice from a can of preserves
may be thinned and used as a drink,
with ice-cream added to it, or, better
yet, 1t may be turned into an ice-cream
soda by adding carbonated water.
There are times when neither car
donated water nor ice-cream is at hand,
and one must serve beverages without
these attractions. 1t takes skill to pre-

. DAINTY FROCK OF LAWN
AND EMBROIDERY.

Eyelet embroidery Is being much used
for .children's dresses as well as for the
gowns of their i.lothers, and this frock
shows it used in most effective man
ner. The yoke with short sleeves and
panel are all cut in one, and made
from the embroidery are exceedingly
effective. But this Is a season of va
riety and the little dress can be made
in a number of ways. One material
used throughout with the edges of the
yoke and panel scalloped makes a
charming effect. Hand embroidery al
ways means distinction and little
sprays of flowers worked On the panel
and yoke would be charming. In adj
dition to it's other advantages, the
dress is simple and easily made. The
full skirt portion car be simply gath
cred or shirred in successive rows, and
liked, and the neck can be mad just
illustrated or with a yoke and collar,
while the sleeves can be gathered
into bands or left plain. All the ma
terials that are used for children's
dresses and that are thin enough to be
gathered and shirred are appropriate,
with trimming to suit the special need.
For the 4-year-size the yoke with
panel will require 1s yards of mate
rial IS inches wide; for the full por-
lions of the dress will be needed 2
yards 81, IN yards 36 or A inches wide,
with AZ yards of banding for the trim
ming.

Some More Pests.

My Dear Miss Doom
My house is troubled with bedbugs
very badly. 1 have tried everything
I could, but without avail. If you
could tell me q tru remedy you would
win the heartfelt thanks of one,
DISCOURAGED.
Have you tried burning sulphur can
dies? Purchase them at any drug
store, place them in tin pans, be sure
that all the windows and doors of the
room are closed, light the candles and
leave the room Immediately, shutting
the door quickly. The fumes Of the
sulphur are very strong and the room
will probably not be a pleasant place
to sleep for a night after burning the
sulphur, but after a days airing the
odor will disappear. OF course, no one
should be permitted to the enter the
room the day you burn the candles.
After giving you heroic treatment to
the pests varnish everything you can.
especially the ends of Stats, crevices,
etc. Put 10 cents worth of carbolic
acid into a quart of gasoline; then with
machine oil can inject 1t around win
dows, doorframes, m~opboards, picture
holdings, etc., once a week all summer.
Leave each room shut up for five or
six hours. Take care not to use any
light until the room is thoroughly
aired.

To Keep Flies at a Distance.

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you kindly tell me some eco
nomical recipe to keep flies out of
the house? l live on the first floor of
a tenement house. which has
many doors. 1 have tried sew
lief. I really could not afford to buy
screens. You will do me a great favor
by telling me as soon as possible and
oblige. STEADY READER.
Under the conditions described 1 fear
you will have a hard time keeping out
the little pests, but I am giving you
a few remedies that are we'll recon-
mended; ID Dip a sponge in boiling
water, place 1t on a saucer and pour
over 1t half a te~aspoonful of oil of law
ender, which is very obnoxious to
flies. The sponge requires moistening
with boiling water about twice a day,
with oil about once a week. (2) Make
a mixture of a ~teaspoohful of black
pepper, a tea spoonful of sugar, and
either butter or cream. Spread this
on a plate and leave it in the room
wise also to wash over the panes Of
h windows and the shelves of the
larders and ~pantries with a weak solu-
ton of carbolic acid. (3) An excellent
spray Is made of eucalyptol, 5 drams;
oil of bergamot, / dram; acetic ether,
5 drains; cologne water, 8 ounces; al
cohol, s ounces. Use one part of the
mixture to ten parts of water and
spray the rooms with 1t. 4) A simple
1ytrap which has this advantage-that
the dead flies are out of sight-may be
made out Of ordinary jam pots. Half
fill them with soapy water, put treacle
or honey or melted sugar on the inside
of the jar above the soapsuds and also
smear the sweet substance used on
pieces of paper. The paper is to be
used as a lid, the smeared part inside.
Tie the lids down with string and
make a hole in each. Attracted by the
honey. the flies crawl through the hole,
where they are Immediately overpow-
cred by the gas arising from the soapy
water. which ferments in the heat of
summer days. These simple, inexpen-
sive traps last a long time and may
be put out of sight on tops of pantries
and c~upboards.

THE NEW SUMMER SKIRT.


The newest muslin, ninon and thin
skirts are full-really full. l nave seen
one in brown-and-white checked ninon,
gagged in three places, just below the
hips, at the knees, and again above
the ankles. Another. in green silk, was
in the old three-decker style, with it's
gathered 1ounces edged with lace; and
a third, with a tight-drawn swathed
chiffon tunic, had falling Glow it a
full ~knife-pleated kilt.
The Maison Worth's newest Goa and
skirt models have also skirts knife
pleated all round, and this house is
making quite frilly ~petticoats, too,
some even accordion-pleated.
There are signs that the long. closely
ruched sleeve that is SO merciful to a
thin arm is creeping back in favor,
and will be here before autumn. But
the sleeve of the moment is very tiny
indeed, and is cut short an inch or w
above the elbow.

TOP COATS FOR SUMMER.

For travelling or on rainy days the
lightweight topcoat is one Of the
friendly garments that ought to be on
the list of summer dresses. You have
no idea how useful 1t is, aid how many
occasions there are for wearing 1t IL
you have one.
Serges of the lightweight fine twills
are good in the reliable blue. They
may have silk collars and be trimmed
with fancy buttons. For summer they
are not lined.
The fastening is quite low down at
one side, showing long revers. Sleeves
are in some cases the kimono, with
slightly bell shape. They may be three
quarters length, or, when fitted. they
may reach to the wrists.
Some topcoats are showing circular
collars of silk in the front, which are
formed into monks hoods at the back
This is a favorite idea of the French.
For seashore the cream serge top
coat seems to find a prominent place.
1t is not in danger of becoming very
dirty at the shore, and it can always
be dyed at the end of the season. Then,
it fills in the requirements of the eve
ming so well, for 1t can oe used as a
simple type OF evening coat.
Black satin, gilt buttons, white silk
braid are modish trimmings for white
serge topcoats.
Generally speaking, the topcoat is cut
on narrow, straight lines. 1t ought tc
have ample pockets, both inside and
outside. 1t can combine style and
agreeable comfort in an in~expensiv,
and attractive. manner.

pare drinks quickly from fruit juices
under these conditions, but still it can
be done. A little currant jelly thinned
with ice-water is a good minute" bev-
erage with a tang" In jelly-making
time some housekeepers are wise
enough to lay aside some of the cur
RAM juice for use in such a beverage.
They bottle the juice just before it is
ready to "jell."
The strained juice of rhubarb thor
oughly chilled makes another minute"
beverage with an attractive tang. The
Juice of grapefruit, if 1t can be obs
tanned, makes still another drink of
the same kind. One housewife serves it
with few cherries. either the pre-
served or the very ripe, fresh fruit.
After preserving cherries, berries.

dc not mingle. Season with salt and

No, do not try to see her again. To
