To Revive Flowers.

The fashion for wearing the small,
compact nosegays, with their bold
ers of lace paper, is pretty one.
Many women despair of the fact that
flowers quickly fade when Worn by
them.
An amateur gardener confided the
secret which kept her bunch of v1o'
let's fresh during an entire evening.
The simple method was this:
About the stem of the bouquet had
been wrapped a piece of waxed sand
wich paper and tied with string,
Over this was placed the tinfoil
used for flowers.
They kept beautifully fresh, and
this fact is well worth knowing. Do
this Immediately when taking the
nosegay from the water. a.

an impressionistic sort of way, not
in the least available for the cook who
is just learning, of something new that
her sister has tried out. Last time 1t
was an entree made of calves brains
and green peppers. She stewed the
calves brains and put then into the
firm green peppers, from which the
insides had been scooped. Then she
had sprinkled some bread crumbs over
the top and popped them into the
oven and baked them. Better even

FOR EARLY FALL OUTINGS
White Felt Hat Is One of the Necessi-
ties in Wardrobe of the
Smart Woman.

Have white felt hat for early au-
tumn outings if you wish to prove to
the hoi polloi that you know what's
what in the great world of fashion.
One of the smartest shapes is the high
and square-crowned sailor with fiat
brim of nearly an inch on the upper
side There is another sailor-so
called-although it has a sombrero
crown which must be carelessly dent
ed. This has the familiar rolling
brim that is crushed against the crown
at front, back or one side, and never
is set quite squarely upon the head.
Truth to say, it's bit rowdyish un-
less trimmed, as it should be, with a
broad band of silk or velvet ribbon
ending under a double pump bow.
Lastly, there is the hat of softest felt
with brim very narrow all around,
save along the left side, where it rolls
boldly against high rounding crown
that is banded with an inch-wide
length of corded ribbon going twice
around and ending with true lovers
knot This ribbon is dull green, red,
gray, mauve-anything save white,
and its hue is repeated in the tie
which fastens the white cotton, or fan
mel outing shirt, and the border on
the handkerchief which peeps from
the breast pocket of this shirt.

Little Bandboxes.

Pretty little boxes just the shape
of the old round bonnet boxes are
made of white pasteboard and covered
with painted flowers in gay profu-
sion.
They are intended for button boxes
or for hooks and eyes; they will do
for pens or for stamps in the writing
desk.
Daintiness is the first requisite, and
care in the making will bring that
desired result. With library paste the
box is first covered with white wa
ter color paper, just as the old wall
paper was glued upon the bonnet box.
After the cover is dry, gay bouquets
of old-fashioned flowers are sketched
upon the surface and tinted with wa
ter color.
Through a slit made in each side
of the box with a penknife there is
run a ribbon to match the flowers,
and this is tied up over the lid to
hold it in place.
Any little gift may be given to
friend or an invalid, with the pretty
box to lend charm. Mints to the de-
parting ocean traveller could not be
better wrapped than in this daintl-
est of boxes.

Value of Percale.

Not every woman appreciates the
qualities of pure white percale for
summer gowns. This fabric is much
used by trained nurses for lightweight
uniforms which may be laundered to
spic and spanness with much less
labor than linen requires. Percale is
also cooler than linen and is much
lighter in weight. 1t may be trimmed
with stitching and buttons in very
smart style. A young woman who al

VARIETY IN DIET IMPORTANT

From Sameness.

1t seems to me the most tiresome
In diet, writes the editor of a cooking
school magazine. When experts are
devot1ng their energy to inventing and
exploiting new dishes and new ways
OF preparing old ones, there is posi-
lively no excuse for monotonous
menus. Yet 1t Is unfortunately true
that even in this day of enlighten-
ment many families move along in
well worn ruts, repeating every week.
day by day, the same old program
with very slight variation. It is no
wonder that the children lose their
appetite, and the husband ceases TO
take any interest in meal time.
A common fault In housekeeping Is
to repeat ad nauseum a favorite dish.
A young man once remarked that be
had never dared to praise any article
on the table for fear it would be serv-
ed henceforth for seven days in the
week. His fond mother, seeking to
please his taste, did not realize how
she was firing him. The most deli

charm with constant repetition Only
bread and butter will stand the every

ETY. means sheer laziness For laziness
is of many kinds, mental, moral and
physical. Many a housekeeper, who
never shirks actual work, does not
exert her brains enough in planning
for her table. She does not consider It
necessary. Others, who are more or
less bright about thinking of new
things, are always too busy or too
tired and constantly postpone the hap
py day for special delicacy. Happy
