BE CAREFUL IN PRE-
PAIRING VEGETABLES

b vegetables not quite fresh are
brought into the kitchen there is
no hope Of ever restoring them to first
class condition. Even good vegetables
win not be at their very best If not
properly cared for after they have been
received
Most housewives think that washing
vegetables with water is the last word
in carefulness- So it is If the water is
above suspicion. but when water is not
considered safe for drinking it should
be boiled as well for washing vege-
tables as it should be for family con-
sumption.
AS to the best way of washing vege-
tables. few cautions will not come
amiss. Some people never eat aspara-
gus at table unless it has been pre-
pared by some one who is careful, as
they do not enjoy biting on sand. The
cleaning of this vegetable requires
conscience as well as time
The bunch should be placed. heads
down, in water for some hours and
should be shaken back and forth to
dislodge the particles of earth.
Spinach is another vegetable which
requires the very best attention in the
cleaning line to free it from grit Aft
er the roots have been cut off it should
be washed in a number of waters and
lifted out of the pan each time in loose
handfuls before the water has been
drained off
Celery and lettuce and other salad
plants eaten raw. must be washed
with especial care. They should be
searched with particular care leaf by
leaf. for insects. washed in several wa
ters and then wiped dry with a clean
cloth and put in cold place to become
crisp. Otherwise these vegetables are
not worth eating.

SOME "DON'TS
WHEN VISITING

THERE are girls who always appear
to get more invitations than they
can accept and who are asked TO the
same houses over and over again. while
other fair ones, just as charming and
delightful to all outward view. never
by any chance receive second invita-
tions.
The popular visitor Is a tactful in
cividual who has the knack OF so merg-
Ing her individuality in that of the
family of which she is a temporary
member that she scarcely seems WIS.,
ftor, yet she never makes the terrible
mistake Of usurping family privileges.
She is not late for breakfast or any
other meal She does not give orders
to servants or In any way attempt to
change the household routine.
When she is asked where she would
like to go or what she would like to do
she answers frankly. There is nothing
more irritating than the "Oh, 1 don't
care in the leastI" or "Whatever you
like" reply. The desirable visitor ex-
ercises her tact, however. In this as in
all other things and takes care not to
suggest fatiguing excursions to host
ess less youthfully active than herself
or force a host perhaps not too well

needless expense II you desire TO De
a pleasing visitor don't be too ener-
getically bent on helping" II you keep
your eyes open it Will soon become evil
dent IL there are small services you can
render any member of the household.
But the girl who insists on cooking
some particular dish or doing the
howers"--in both cases requiring half
an hours attendance getting her prop
critics together-ts an unmitigated nui-
sance.
Don't monopolize your hosts special

leave your own room untidy Don't
Just because you are visiting. sit down
and expect to be entertained all day

letters in your bedroom for an hour
or two day.
Remembering these things. you also
will be of the visitors whose visits. un-
like those of angels. are not few and
far between.

Canning Suggestions

ENRuIT jar rubbers can seldom be re-
lied upon to do duty the second
time. After thoroughly washing and
drying the rings drop them into melt
ed and partially cooled paraffin until
they are heavily coated. When can

new ones. The heat of the jar partly
melts the paraffin. causing 1t to flow
into any little cracks that need clos
ing. AS the fruit eools the paraffln
hardens. securely sealing the can.
When canning use an old fashioned
gravy boat with handle and q Ions

some time or another discovered to

her then add a pinch of powdered alum

New Touches For the Waist

ONE of the much talked about fea-
lures of the new waists Is the
sleeves. The consensus of opinion In
all in favor of the long shoulder line
which is carried out in various ways
The effect is very much like that of
kimono sleeve cut off just below the
round of the arm This sleeve is an
ideal affair to apply to an old fashion
ed waist. as II is not difficult to get
this effect with an old blouse All you
have to do is to cut of the sleeve al
this depth and either tuck or pipe the
edge then add the long sleeve, which IL
slightly full. but the fullness is care
fully held in over the forearm by o
deep cuff or line of buttons. Cuffs
edged with plated frill both at the
top and over the hands are new and
add modish touch to the waist The
fact that sleeves may be OF q contrast
ing material such as lace or net, aids
In remodeling old ones.
Another easy method of freshenfng o
blouse Is by adding a vest or biblike
portion OF net or chiffon Some OF
these are round. while others are
pointed The latter, however, are mors
becoming to stout figures. These vests
are tucked Sometimes tiny fancy
crochet or glass buttons are used
Again they are quite severely plain.

ruff1ed friIl. The cuffs. with their
plated frills at the top and over the
| hands, match the vest
Another dress up addition to o
blouse is fichu of lace or sheer ma
terial brought down under the belt
front and back and finished of either
square or in a " shape. The lace cas-
| socks and jumpers Of taffeta or the
fancy silks are very effective In max

newness.
Chiffon or net overblouses. although
not one of the things one considers alb
solutely new. are SO delightful for re-
Juvenatins purposes that they should
not be forgotten

To come back to skirts once more.
there is every reason to believe that
plaits will be introduced In the
straight, narrow tailor made models
Some of the plaits appear in a panel
arrangement at the side and others as
a back finish, but in every instance
they are pressed or stitched very nat.
and the skirt does not measure more
than two and a half yards about the
bottom. For dressier costumes the ac

on imported frocks and in its new
guise is seant and clinging. Then there
is the plated underskirt, almost a ruff

about two feet deep. with a pannler or
tunic drapery at the top, that is very
favorite style just now and is a par
ticularly good model for silk and thin
materials.
One of the newest fashions for late
summer and early fall combines three
or more materials in a gown and al
ways two or more colors. The lingerie
frock seen in the Illustration, with its
dark taffeta coat. is an example of con-
trasts in fabrics, while the blue serge
illustrated is study in color effects.
Very simple in line is this coat of
green and gold taffeta worn above a
| frock Of cream net. The coat is almost
straight tunic. with Magyar sleeves
cut in one with the garment. but the
exaggerated collar and cuffs in rich
cluny lace lend It much distinction.
Rows of tiny green glass buttons are

touch. This is a French creation and
accompanies a lovely lingerie frock of
net and lace. The skirt only appears

that are promised for fall AS you see.

feminine dress OF the directoire period
that has inspired autumn fashions.

the directoire coat is worn with a belt

Unusual Machine Work

HEMSTITCHING can be very neatly
done on the machine in this way:
Draw the number Of threads desired
and haste the edge of the hem in the
center of the drawn threads. Lengthen
the stitch on the machine and stitch on
the very edge of the hem. Pull the
hastings out and pull the edge OF the
hem to the bottom Of the drawn threads.
Hemstitching done in this way can
scarcely be distinguished from that
done by hand.
The sewing machine can be employ
ed In mending torn lace Draw the
edges of the tear together and haste
on a piece of thin paper. Then stitch
back and forth as many times as 1t Is
necessary and when finished carefully
tear off the paper. Lace menced in
this way will be much heater and more
durable than when darned by hand
