MELON SEASON Is
NOW AT ITS HEIGHT
New Ways Of Serving Delicacy
Outlined-To Be Right, 1t
Must Be Chilled.

A melon eaten directly from the gar
den may be delicious without being
chilled. for it is presumably at its best
and perfectly ripe, but W hen it
would be improved by cooling well. The
melon thai you buy, especially if it
grew many hundreds miles away, was
before it reached the state of
melting sweetness. Chilling will bring
out whatever lavor n sweetness
preparation it is apt to ave an ins1p-
id taste.
A melon cut in a series of points
through h center and then pulled
makes a pretty bit of color on
the sideboard, but to most people 1t is
a little too much like dexterity to eat
daintily the wedges of melon with rind
attached and this way of serving is
especially awkward for children, who
generally fail to keep the juices from
the cloth.
the pink flesh of a watermelon: cut
the melon in halves and press In a
sharp edged kitchen spoon. twist it
round twice each way and draw out an
egg-shaped piece. Lay these pink eggs
on cracked ice and carry to the table.
Or cut In slices two inches thick. run a
small knife round to separate the rind
from the pulp. then cut in wedge
shaped pieces like a layer cake or a
pie.
Wash cantaloupes. cut in halves and
tax u the seeds. Chill before serv-
ing and have powdered sugar for those
who like this addition. The cantaloupe

There's a Reason" for Rain.


The following telegram was sent by
Prof. Willis l.. Moore, chief of the United
States weather bureau, to the Battle
Creek Industrial association in regard to
c. w. Posts claim of producing rain at
Battle Creek during the night OF July %:
You telegraphed this office last night
that four hours dynamiting beginning at
9 o'clock Tuesday brought half an inch
of rainfall at Battle Creek beginning at
$50 in the afternoon, and you say people
are satisfied the Post system of rainmak-
Ing is successful.
Your claim is without justification, as
the rain which you claim to have caused
began Monday morning in the Dakotas.
By Tuesday morning it had covered both
Dakotas, Minnesota, upper Michigan, and
the greater part of Wisconsin. BY Tues
Gay evening it had extended all over low
er Michigan.
This was exactly as forecast by the
weather bureau. Your experiments had
no more to do with causing rain that fell
tuesday In lower Michigan than they had
in causing rain that occurred hours before
In Michigan and Wisconsin,.

The kaiser,s Memoirs.
From the Indianapolis New:

~ 'S"s.
Since his coming to the throne, in 1888,
Kaiser Wilhelm II. has been writing his
memoirs, giving half an hour a day to
that work. He says that these writings
are not to appear until 10 years after his
death, and it may be. If he becomes dis
satisfied with his work, that he will throw
it into the fire. 1t is said that some Of his
intimates, who AVE seen some pages of
his manuscript, speak of the great frank
ness and candor with which he writes of
his own ministers and those of other SOW
ereigns. of his relatives and Of his allies.
1t is said that these memoirs will disclose
a great affection for the empress, though
a few reproaches, without bitterness, at
tend the praise. Among the interesting
chapters are said to be those In which he
discusses his uncle, Edward VII, his ele-
gance of manner and dress. The kaiser,
it is we'll understood, has never been able
to dress himself with the refinement of
his uncle, and he never could wear a
hat with the grace of Edward VII.

That Cupid is entirely too wary for

Of his sweetheart, winsome little Leila
Orne, Of the same 6 not to see her
daughter again. Mrs. Orne gave as her
reason that the s~weethearts were too
young.
The question of age never entered
into Jarrett's consideration at all, but
when the girls mother peremptorily

whimpered.

The ruse worked for several weeks,
but at last the truth was out. The

LINGERIE FROCk is
BEST FOR MORNING
French Women Inclined To Ac-
cept 1t AS Seasons Most

Next to linens the French woman
seems to favor the lingerie frock for
mornings. This never is an elaborate
affair, yet none the less is it a confec-
ton. And usually it is of white and a

quite easily could pass for an applied
bordering. This characteristic is fur
Their borne out by its odd shaping, for
it often is higher at the sides than else
where.
On several ultra-smart white wolfe
frocks recently seen, a sort of panel,
starting from the left upper edge of
the trimming, extends as high as the
knee. Wide bands of the color-striped
material are used for chevrons running
from the throat across the shoulders,
and half way down the sleeves of the
blouse. S%tripings also show in the
frtlls at the elbows, in the little loops
defining the low-cut over-waist and in
the neck band and short jabot on The
