A feature of the newest summer frocks
is the o~ld-fasbioned trimmings that re-
call those quaint pictures published in
the Fashion plates of nearly half a
century ago.
Our mothers and g~randmothers took
particular delight in putting all sorts OF
curious stitchery on their best dresses.
Housekeeping was laid aside when the
dressmaker made her semi-annual visit TO
their homes, for the amount of work re-
ouired on a single costume occupied the
time for an entire week. Although women
of today have less time to spend on
needlework, there are many dainty trim-
miugs that can easily be made Mt home
and are fascinating pickups-or porch
work. Frills, rufies and quillings require
bandwork. 7rhe taffeta gown must have
Yards of quaint adornment.

Another pretty way TO finish scalioped
edges is to turn the material back one
half inch and buttonholc" the edge with
n contrasting color of silk, using the
.blanket' stitch. If the material Is
plain, work a small coinspot in each
scallop.
Rose quilting is made Of strips of
silk cut on the straight of the material
and having each edge pinked. Double
box pleats are then laid close together,
having the edge of each top pleat tackled
together in the centre.
A box-pleatcd ruehe differs slightly
from rose quilting. In this the material

ltin is still the fabric of first choice for
bridal robes. There is a reason for this.

Beauty Exercises for the Neck

The neck, which is one of the most
striking points or beauty in the young,
is, too, the feature which first betrays
the ravages of age. Hence that which
preserves or restores the beauty Of the
neck prevents the young from looking
old and makes the older woman young
again. The following helpful hint or two
will aid in keeping the neck plump and
fair to look upon;
Every night on going TO bed The neck
should be washed carefully with soap
and hot water, and then anointed with
any skin food or oil in which each in
dividual has the greatest faith. Pure
almond oil is thought by some TO be
the best incidentally the cheapest
but that is quite a matter of opinion.
The oil should be put o n without stint,
and rubbed into the neck with a gentle
rotary movement. If the dreaded double
chin has made its unweleome appearance,
massage in the following way half n
dozen or more times: Place the back Of
the right hand under the chin, so that

A PICTURESQUE AND SMART

The little coatee that is made with a
peplum that extends over the hips is one
of the prettiest and smartest garments of
the season. IL is utilized for tafeta and
for messaline, to be worn over lingerie
and other gowns, and it is liked for the
entire costume OF one material. 10
whichever use II is put, It is exceedingly
smart and distinctive and altogether de-
sirabIe. This one is finished with a
prestily-shaped collar and can be worn
over any gown or blouse. In the Illus
traitor taffeta is trimmed with lace ap-
plinue and with a little ruchlng of the
material on the peplum. This latter
trimming could be used to finish collar
and sleeves, If liked, or a pretty effect
could be obtained by making the entire
collar of lace with bands of lace on the
sleeves. The blouse portion is fitted by
means of shoulder and under-arm seams
and plain sleeves are stitched to the arm
holes. Tit peplum Is attached TO the
lower edge by means of a corded seam,

A Plea for the Stock Actor
Miss Margerv Doom:

In regard to having the Orpheum
Theatre open all summer L would like
TO ask this question: Would it not
benefit the managers In the end to
close the theatre during the mon of
August? In the first place, so very
many people go away during July
and August naturally the audiences t
the theatres are smaller. Then, sec
ondly, Miss Brownell and Mr.. Stork
certainly deserve a vacation during
one of the hot hummer months. They
have both worked very hard during
this last year., and the management
must not forget hat the success of
the Orpheum Theatre depends a great
deal IN the popular leading lady and
leading man. So it seems to a great
many of the patrons that they would
both be better fitted for the work of
the coming fall and winter If they

The Entrance and Exit of the
Straw Hat

Dear Miss Doom:
Would thank you to advise through
the columns of your paper Official OPEN
ing and closing date of straw-hat sea-
son. Yours very truly, r. r. ".
I suppose you refer 10 the custom In
regard to the time of DOMINIC and doff-
ing the straw hat. You know, of course,
that there Is no Official" time set nor
any official with authority to enforce
a decree in either respect, ever If one
were made. The custom has been to
begin to wear them on June Is and to
lay them aside on September Is. This
custom has. very sensibly I think. been
honored of late more In the breach
than in the observance as you have
doubtless noticed, for a soodly portion
of men are now wearing straw hats,
although the "oficlal' opening of the
season is still a fortnight or so off. I
haven't heard eny criticism of the
judgment of good sense of these men
who have sought comfort In their head
gear thus early In the season, have
you? And II shows wisdom on the
part OF a man to discard his derby and
put on his straw when the season of
tlthl dtTlNtE d Ut Cahltt Ahoh d5baAi
why, by the same token, will he not
be equally justified in continuing TO
wear his light and comfortable straw
after September 10, II summer should
persist in laying her head In the lap
of fall' after that date? We women have
been accused-shall we say justly?-of
being blind followers of Dame Fashion
in the matter of apparel. but o o
men! When it comes to straw hats many
of you seem as much afraid as women
are of possible notice, criticism or ridi-
Guile and stand ready to endure discom-
fort and annoyance rather than to APP
pear singular or questionable. So be
sensible and wear the hat according to
the thermometer and not according to
the date.

Fruit Lemonade
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss doom.
| will thank you to publish a recipe
for fruit lemonade sufficient to serve
about a dozen people. Yours sincerely,
NJ. @. e.
Following is a good recipe for lemon
ade for about a dozen people: Boil to-
eether two quarts of cold water, four
cups of sugar and -four cups of chopped
pineapple for twenty minutes and TO
this two cups OF orange juice, n cup
of lemon juice and n cup of raspberry
juice; cool, strain and dilut with ice
water.
Another recipe calls for one cup OF
sugar, one cup of hot tea infusion,
three-fourths of a cup of orange juice,
a few slices of orange, one-third cup of
lemon Juice. one pint of ginger ale, one
pint of lithia water and some maras-
chino cherries. Pour the tea over sugar
and as soon as sugar is dissolved add
the fruit juices. Strain into punch bowl
over a large piece of ice and just before

CARING FOR YOUR PETS

Many pet cats who live where thes
cannot get fresh grass to eat become
sick and die because their little owners
forget to supply plenty of fresh, green
vegetables In place of the natural herbs.
Fresh green's Of solne kind Is necessary
to keep the system and blood in order
with cats and dogs as with humans.
Green corn scraped with a fork. aspara-
gus remnants. spinach and all such
things are excellent for pussy, as are
also the carrots, turnips and leeks which
are frequently cooked in the soup pot.
II pussy does not take to them readily
mix them with a little chopped raw beef
or with well-cooked fish or canned
salmon. In this guise they will slip
down readily, but many cats eat them
with gusto quite plain.

SOME CLEANING HINTS

Clean chenille curtains and other
draperies at home. If many articles are
to be cleansed, purchase five gallons of
gasoline. If you have a washing ma
chine put In enough Of the gasoline TO
cover one-half of a pair of curtains
wash about ten minutes, wiring with the
hands, and shake thoroughly, then hang
on the line to dry. In about twenty
minutes or a little longer, they will be
ready to hang in the house and there
will be very little Objectionable odor
about them.
of course, light colored articles should
be cleaned first. The gasoline may look
dark after cleaning heavy curtains. but
If allowed 10 settle. Ii may be poured
of into another vessel and thus remove
the sediment. Silk curtains ma be
cleaned in this way also. for one great
advantage in the use Of gasoline is that
1t will not destroy the color of anything,
even though ii be delicate.
1t is good to use fof cleaning white
silk. white shoes or gloves. making them
look almost like new. The expense Is
trifing. If you haven't a washing ma
chine. put the gasoline In an ordinary
tub and shake the article up and down
until well cleaned.
If the work is carefully done, it will
prove satisfactory. Gasoline is very ex-
ploslve and should never be used near
a fire or In q closed room, it is best
TO use 1t out of doors, where there Is no
danger whatever.

Handsome linen gives elegance to even
a simple meal; hence 1t should be as fine
Is your purse will allow. A table pad
Of tbick cotton material placed for an
interlining IL hush cloth between the
table and the linen prolongs the useful
ness OF the covering and should always
be used. but even with this protection
the best of table linen wears out and.
sooner or later must be relegated to sec
ond place In the linen closet threadbare
places grow thinner, holes come and
though the dazzling wilderness of the pol
ished linen CLEANS as brightly as ever.
It is perfectly fident that it's usefulness
as a table cover is past.
The last purpose that table cloths
serve Is when they are used for bread
cloths. No matter how many bread
cloths a woman has she never has too
many, but before the danask is cut in
squares, hemmed and folded away for
this last purpose 1t may be made to do
duty many times as tray cloth. runners,
napkins and doilies. Examine the pat
tern OF the worn cloth. IL 1t has been
woven lin the piece you will notice
that a deep border of the same pattern
as the body of the cloth runs all around
the -four sides; IL II has been purchased
by the yard this border will be on two
sides. This may be cut off; 1t is not
likely to be much worn, and when nicely
hemmed will make two long and two
short runners 1f the cloth Is fine, the

A USEFUL SCARF

Have you an old marabou boa or
stole hat looks like a drowned kitten?
Nearly every woman has one stored
away somewhere as a thing too good
to be discarded, yet not fit to use. Here
Is a a to use 1t. Separate the long
strands of the marabou which are pro-
fusely tied together with cords. Shake
them to get rid of the loose feathers
and to give a more fluffy appearance.
Fake a two and one-half yards or a
three-yard chiffon cloth, or still better,
a crepe de chine scarf and carefully sew
a strand of the marabou on each edge.
Allow about four inches OF the feathers
to hang from the ends of the scarf. If
your marathon is not long enough 1t
can be joined without showing the
%piecing. Sew four-inch pieces of mara
bou at intervals of two inches across
the ends of the scarf and with what Is
left stripe the scarf either le%ngthwise
or across, according to your material.
The marabou not only adds to the
beauty and style of an ordinary chiffon
scarf. but adds greatly to it's warmth.
