Present Fashions Ideal

THAT the present fashion is ideal Is.

list Antonio de la Gandara. given in an
article on woman's dress. The hobble
skirts. clinging gowns and other
dresses of the past few years are all.
he says, distinguished by originality of
taste. and it Is difficult to make a
choice: but, on the whole, he prefers
the style now in vogue in Paris
Although" says La Gandara
'-vaudevilles have made fun of it and
caricaturists have dealt with 1t freely.
the Partisan women have an advantage
over their deriders. for they make
works of art OF their toilets
THE present fashion" he says in
conclusion, has a character Of fine
originality expressed in sober and sim
pie beauty. 1t deserves to mark an
epoch. it is so carefully planned to
show Off feminine beauty, and it weis
with such sureness and at the same
time discretion the lines OF the female
form that 1t will remain, I am sure,
one OF the happiest efforts Of la mode

TO ARRANGE FLOWERS

E,VERY woman probably thinks she
can arrange flowers beautifully,
but unfortunately this thinking so does
not always turn out an artistieally dis
posed floral scheme
In spite of the very good influence of
our Japanese friends. the general mis-
take is to overcrowd the receptacles in
which the flowers are placed or to mix
too many celors and kinds and so hide
the varying beauty of each.
A kitchen garden bouquet in brown
jug or china mug has a certain quaint
charm of it's own, but in ordinary sur
roundings it will be found that the best
results are obtained by arranging
flowers in separate vases with their
own foliage.
Take carnations. for instance When
do they look so we'll as when placed
sparingly in a slim vase with some Of
their own gray green foliage? And yet
there are Goths even today who Will
vulgarize these exquisite flowers By
stripping away their own beautiful
leaves and surrounding them with
rnaidenhair fern.
Bowls are delightful resting places
for roses, ana one of brown earthen-
ware filled with pale creamy roses is a
joy to behold.
III Il SIIldli BldSS a Single perfect
bloom or, at most, two are quite enough,
especially where roses are concerned.
Some fiowers--sweet peas, for example
are equally lovely in masses or ar
ranged in twos or threes in silver vases
for the dinner table.
| If you truly love flowers you will
take each one up gently and place it
where it is to go and so unconsciously
| DO just what must be done to produce
the most artistic effect. for no one who
attempts TO stuff in whole handful OF
stems at the same time will ever ar
! range Mowers beautifully.
The lengths of soft lead which may
be made to hold upright the stems oI
heavy flowers, such as iris, even in d
bowl, are useful, but wire gratings are
deplorable. Quite the best device fol
big bowls is a disk Of glass in which
are many holes.

Summer Beauty Hints

no keep hair in curl and at the SHINE
time impart a delightful fragrance
to the entire couture danlpen it with
cologne water before winding it on the
iron. Leave the hair on the iron until
it is quite dry. Avoid any curling fluid
containing gum arabic. as it leaves a
white powder when dry and this duls
and deadehs the sheen of the hair.
Scrim Is the most sanitary material
for face cloths. This cloth is porous
and free from lint. allowing a free cir
culation of air 1t also admits of quick
and effective washing and drying, so
that il can be cleaned after every face
bath.
Perfun1ed soap, except of the most
delicate odor. is no longer used by the
woman of refined tastes. The edor Of
a heavily perfumed soap is acrid and
penetrating. completely effacing any
finer fragrance from the scent bottle
or sachet. Use pure soap devoid
of perfume and apply your favorite
toilet water as an astringent after the
face or hands have been bathed.

WHEN canary breeding is ono

WHEN canary breeding Is once en-
barked upon it proves itself a
most fascinating and engrossing hob
by, with the advantage of also being
profitable.
Either double or single breeding
cage is required so that the birds may
have plenty of room.
The double cage has the advantage
that when necessary the cock and hen
or the young ones can easily be sepa-
rated by means of a sliding division.
The easiest way to start canary rear
ing is to buy pair of birds from a re-
liable breeder in the spring, Just about
mating time.
When the birds arrive do not put
them together at once. but stand the
cages side by side SO that the pair can
make friends with each other through
the wires. This precaution will avoid
the risk~of fighting.

HOW TO MAKE SANDWICHES

arrived to HE to the woods and go
-picnicking-and acquire headaches
and freckIes, to say nothing of bugs
down our backs and eaterpillars up our
sleeves-a few recipes for sandwiches
may not come amiss.
Be sure to cut the bread thin and
have fine grained loaf. Nothing is
so unappetizing as a thick. clunnsily
made sandwich.
The butter must be ssft, not melted.
This expedites spreading. and does not
break the thin bread Be careful IN
spreading that the bread is buttered
on opposite sides of alternate slices or
they will not fit.
Butter both slices of bread, but put
the filling on one slice only. Press on
the top slice and cut the crust with a
sharp knife. Put neatly on a platter
and cover until ready to use with a
damp napkin This keeps the bread

The cock shares the responsibilities
of the household and will often sit on
the eggs while the hen is off feeding.
The food of the young canaries con-
sists of the yolk of a hard boiled egg
well mixed with twice its quantity of
breadcrumbs.
When they are about five days old
add a little soaked rape seed. AS long
as their parents treat them kindly the
young eanaries can be left in the same
cage until they are feeding well on
canary seed and able to take care of
themselves.
The bath is a luxury which all birds
thoroughly appreciate, and the canary
is one of the most fastidious over his
toilet.
