you put your cracked ice and all your
securely corked bottle. The -four
tin need only be lifted out once in
"a hours to empty the melted ice,
clean, air and refill with a fresh sup
ply of ice and bottles.
This little refrigerator mother
can get up N a few hours, cover with
a bright chintz and have in her own
room during her holiday, and by its
means feel certain that the baby's
milk is safely kept and thoroughly
chilled and far away from the con-
terminating influences of the common
hotel or family ice chest.
1t has another great advantage; 5
cents worth of ice cracked in small
pieces and placed in the -four tin with
the bottles will last in this little re-
frigerator often for a remarkably
long time.
1 can not recommend too highly
the use of barley water in summer.
An excellent bottle formula for the
six-months-old baby, one which l
have used in the hot weather myself
with great satisfaction, is:
Two and one-half ounces of barley
water. u ounce of lime water, 1 tea
spoonful of graduated sugar.
It has been my experience that in
making barley water it is much
easier and quicker to use the pre-
pared barley flour than the ordinary
pearl barley, though this also may
be employed To make barley water
take a tablespoonful of the flour and
mix thoroughly with little cold wa
ter. Add to this paste a quart of
boiling water and put in a pinch of
salt.
Cook in double boiler for 20 min
utes, (if cooked too long all the
strength of the barley will evaporate)
and then strain it through very fine
sieve-one Kept especially for this
purpose Put the barley water,
which should be of jelly-like con-
sistency, in covered glass jar, on
the ice, and make 1t fresh every
morning in very hot weather.

So get out your evening slippers

If the satin is but slightly soiled.
get some pieces of stale bread and

takes off all small discolorations.
Kneaded rubber will do the same
work. although some women do not

satin.
IF the slipper is still soiled looking
after the treatment, rub the entire
surface with the thread. Remember
not to go against or across it.
White flannel should be used a

TRAVELLING
With Baby In
Hot heather
BY LUCILLE DAUDET.

RE you going to take the baby
~ away this summer? And il you
are what will you do about his
food? This question is SO hard to
answer that the mere feeling that
she cannot answer it to her full sat
lsfactlon keeps many mother home.
who otherwise would like to take her
baby to the seashore or country for
few weeks during the hot weather.
Though it is a somewhat serious
thing to change baby's milk in sum-
mer, / think it can be accomplished
with little extra care, so that no
one suffers thereby, the baby least OF
all.
We must all realize that cows
milk, however carefully handled, is
bound to have some germs in it. What
we call certified milk is milk that
has passed a laboratory test, and is,
therefore, milk as nearly pure as we
can possibly get it, For this reason
1t is safest to try to get certified milk
when one is travelling with a little
baby, and best to give this milk to
him all through his holiday.
If the holiday is to be spent at an
out-of-the-way place, and certified
milk can not be had, the next best
thing for the mother to do is to pas
teurize the available supply every
morning, making at one time enough
bottles to do for "a hours.
The reason for taking all this trou-
BILE, which may seem unnecessary to
many people, is that if milk is kept
at a temperature of 155 degrees F.
for 20 minutes (Which is pasteuriz-
ing) the germs of such diseases as
dysentery, scarlet fever, diphtheria
and tuberculosis are destroyed. As
many summer epidemics are traced to
the milk supply it certainly seems as
if it should pay in the end to give
half an hour every morning to the
troublesome but not at all difficult
task of pasteurizing.
The next question is, what about
ice? BY means of the little device ]
am about to describe a perfectly
clean, dry and practical refrigerator
can be gotten up at almost no cost.
You will first need a wooden packing
box about 80 inches square, one hav-
ing lid Then get a sheet of tin,
round it and fasten it upright in the
middle Of the box, surrounding it up
to its very top with sawdust.
1t is quite easy to lift in and out
of this long, deep hole an ordinary
-four tin with tightly fitting lid and
having a handle. Into this receptacle

FLOWERS
OF SILK

rr> HE song of the silk flowers has
not yet been finished. We are
~ using the handmade blossoms
in all sizes on dresses, hats and &C
cessories.
Have you noticed the tiny wreaths
of roses on the ends OF velvet and
silk sashes? These are made in the
simplest way, the little roses being
merely ribbon that has been folded
Sometimes little green is combined
with the colored flowers.
On girdles and at the fastening of
fichus and bodice drapery the silk
flower is almost ubiquitous. Large
roses, wound around hard cotton-pad-
ded centers, are made very success
fully now. Others have their petals
cut out and bound with narrow satin
ribbon.
The double petal is sewed on the
wrong side, turned and stitched again
on the edge of the right and gath
cred in at the base. Five or six of
these make lovely flower. clustered
around a center of yellow stamens,
bought at the millinery counter of
any large store.
There are flowers that are made
of round petals and some of pointed
and oval petals. Pond lilies are en-
joying great favor; camellias and
gardenias are next; the rose is al
ways in high popularity.
On hats, a single handmade flower
of large size will grace some mill
linery. Clusters of them will be used
on lace and linen caps for babies, and
the little straw bonnets for tiny tots
will be just as highly favored as ever.
What is prettier than a lingerie
hat with a colored flower of silk
Black is to be used for silk flowers
1t gives the contrast that the French
appreciate and carry out and that
we are learning to value. Satin and
silk, combined with chiffon or NOUS
seine, will answer the purpose.
Add the silk flower to your after
noon or evening dress. 1t is worth
making. BY the way, have you ever
priced these little things. Enough
said.
