SANDWICHES EASY TO MAKE

The picnic season-hence the sand
witch seasons at hand. When guam
titles of these unfailing requisites are
required try the following plan and
see how easily this trying work can
be done: Cut the crusts from a loaf
of bread with four strokes of a sharp
knife-front, back and sides, then
cut the crustless loaf in half, butter
each half where you cut the loaf, slice
piece of bread from each half, put in
filling and the slices will exactly fit
Proceed, cutting one slice from each
side Of loaf Wrap in waXed paper
and you will have dainty, symmetrical
sandwiches when the luncheon basket

Almost as popular as the black sail

its close kin, that of burnt straw. It
is especially well liked for wear with
the popular brown linen suit-for
brown seems to be having quite a

exceedingly we'll on the girls who are
"tailorish" enough to don them.
On the black and dark brown hats
white bands are the most approved
and fashionable style, while the burnt
straw hats are encircled by bands of
darker brown.
And the smartest hats. of course,
are those Of the extreme straws-
either very rough or quite smooth
and fine.

Not many are yet seen, but they
are expected to have great run a
little later on. One reason why they
are not yet more in evidence is I'M
doubtedly because of the price of the
French chiffon qualities of which they
are made. From $3.50 to $3.50 per
yard is asked in the retail shops for
these new taffetas. BY another sea
son domestic manufacturers will have
popular-priced lines, but If one desires
an exclusive silk gown for the present
summer she should invest in one OF
changeable chiffon taffeta.

Youths at Once Neat and
Disconcertino.

A well-known clergyman was one
day in a BARRIERS shop, when four or
five young men walked in whom he
knew by their voices, but who did
not recognize the man in the chair,
with lather all over his face. They
proceeded to spend the time by tell
ing stories and using expressions
which, to say the least, were rather
strong. When the barber pulled away
the towel the clergyman, clearly
shaved, stood before them. So non
plussed were they that no one tried to
take the vacant chair, and the barber
called several times: Next gentle
mani"
The clergyman smiled somewhat
grimly as he said:

cry to answer to that name"
