The Summer Wrap Is Reversible.

The Summer Wrap Is Reversible.
Z VERY summer seems to bring forth
IL it's particular sort Of wrap, to be
used over light frocks for taM wear at
dinner hour This year five women out
of six are wearing the convenient cape
wraps Of charmeuse which have Innings
of contrasting color and are cut on loose,
simple lines that hang most gracefully
on the figure. The wrap has long pointed
ends at the front which are carelessly
knotted below the bust and hung over
the skirt The handsomest Of these mod
els are made Of reversible satin-black
with a reverse of gold color being the
favorite. Less expensive wraps Of thin
charmeuse lined with American beauty,
gold color, green or dove gray are charm
ing and most satisfactory at the price.

The French woman al
ways wears a bathing wrap-usualy quite
as coquettish as her bathing costume, and
worn with equally coquettish design. The
long, prim cape closely envelops the fig

heartedly out in the tossing breakers, as
her disposition dictates.
Brilliant green silk caps are particularly
fashionable with dark suits. and some
times the cap is matched by green taf-

cerise is also seen with blue bathing suits.

In order to have the pantry window

with a gloomy kitchen, on the
theory that anything will do for
that room, makes a grave mistake.
There should be attractively colored
walls, neat white curtains at the win
dows, and the room should be fur
nished with the one aim to allow the
housekeeper to accomplish the great
est amount of work with the fewest
possible steps.
If YOU have a shed built off from
your house 1t may be made into a de-
lightful summer kitchen. To beauttfy
such a place. first have 1t whitewashed
and at each window place flower boxes.
Plant morning glories and wild cucum-
Der vines around the building and
make a wide path leading from the
kitchen to the house. bordered with
old-fashioned flowers. Now cover the
walls with plain burlap tackled In place
and make chairboard around the
four walls with mating. The tan mat
ting looks very pretty with the yellow
burlap.
To provide sufficient ventilation for
a summer kitchen the windows should
be Of good size. with the upper part
reaching close to the ceiling. 1t is also
well to have windows on more than
one side of the room. The placing of a
window above the sink is one Of the
best means for providing comfort In a
summer kitchen. Sometimes q door
may have the upper part fitted with a
movable sash to take the place of a
window. Make convenient shelves and

to place pots, pans and kettles.
AS a protection from flies and other In
sects the windows of the summer kttch-
en- may be entirely covered with wire net
ting. Screen doors should have an extra
wire guard on the lower part.
The kind of shading provided for
kitchen windows will depend upon the
presence Of shutters. Without binds a

be necessary, and IL the roller is hung on
brackets that aref fastened on the ex-
treme upper part of the easement Instead

An Appreciation.

We wish to thank our congressman
for nifty package Of garden seeds
sent from Washington for our special
use. 1t is nice to be thus remembered
by one who is far away In a strange
land, and it beats a picture postcard
forty ways. There is a practical val
ue to package of congressional gar
den seeds which appeals. We had
them cooked up for breakfast this
morning, and, while they were fair, it
must be remembered, that congress
has gone Democratic recently, and the
flavor of the garden seeds is bound to
be somewhat more biting and pessi-
mistic than formerly, but we thank
the thoughtful congressman just the
same. We have eaten his garden
seeds several years, and they are all
right.

TRUE VALUE OF QUIZ LIFE
Some Great Emergency Furnishes the
Test Which Makes Clear the
Real Valuation.

There Is so much for US to do, 80
many wrongs to be made right and so
many evils to be remedied that con-
sideration of the petty chickering's Of
life is far beneath our notice. So
long as life runs smoothly in its usual
channel we are inclined to attach
great Importance to the minor details
OF existence and In time yield largely
to their influence.
The terrible test Of some great
emergency, however, makes clear
life's true values. The greatest sue
cess that can be attained, the largest
fortunes that can be attained, the
highest station that can be achieved
are as nothing In. the closing hours
of a mans life. Then II is that he
scrutinizes his part for the least yes
tige Of personal good which he has
wrought, and it is that memory alone
which is worth anything at all to him.
He cannot derive much comfort from
the wealth he has accumulated, or the
social distinction he has attained, but
he can and does rely for his eternal
reward upon the unselhsh and simple
service he has rendered for the wei
fare of others. The life upon which
we place so high value must end
some time, sooner perhaps than we
imagine. We must build for the fu-
ture, indeed. not blindly, not selfishly,
not brutally, but in that spirit of
brave fellowship which measures VI
to every emergency.
