When YOkes shrink.

Few OF US have escaped the horror
OF finding. after our summer frocks or
guimpes have been returned from the
laundry for the first time. that the yoke
has shrunk and the collar Is entirely
too tight for comfort. 1t is the ex-
perience of almost every woman before
the season of thin, cool frocks is over,
and one that few know how to remedy.
Should the yoke OF your frock require
to be enlarged. add the width at the
center Of the back and the shape OF the
yoke will not be spoiled
This can be done either by letting out
the hem in the back and facing the raw
edges or by inserting a narrow lace
insertion on the inside Of the hem each
side OF the opening
The fact that almost every lace or
embroidery yoke opens in 1.-The back
make this simple task. and as a yoke
rarely requires more than an inch OF
additional width, simplIfes the matter
greatly.
Don't despair 4 you are confronted
with too tight yoke; make 1t COM
fortably large in this manner

Carriers Are Popular.

One CT fashions whims at the moment
is the toilet with the skirt slit at one
side, which meets with appreciation from
some and with stern 1isapproval from
other women.
II II is Justihable at all. II Is certainly
so In the case OF the narrow walking
skirt and the tea gown. as much for
safety as for beauty in the first instance.
AS for the tea gown, II looks lovely with
flmy lace to fill in the gap and wreaths
of little roses and other flowers veiled
by the lace
The ethereal tea gown of this descrip-
ton is responsible for the return OF the
garter OF the most glorified kind. worn
beneath the knee.
The very latest idea in garters Is per-
fectly charming. Composed Of the ordi-
nary plain and puffed satin the tops are
ornamented with dainty ruffie OF white
lace. Furthermore decorated with a little
spray of tiny handmade satin flowers
and foliage.
Made for the tea gown is a pair Of
white satin garters. with a ruffle OF
white lace adorned by a spray Of pale
pink rosebuds. green foliage, and white
heather. Such was the design seen In
a very famous lingerie establishment the
other day. Another pair waC composed
OF mauve satin decorated with a bow
OF white lace. a tiny bunch OF flowers
and a black velvet bow.

Mascot Jewelry.

She who has money 10 afford novel;
ties should go in for mascot jewelry.
Never has 1t been more fascinating.
Even IL you are not superstitious you
are not above a luck charm Of some
sort.
A safety pin brooch, with a stone in
the center. has attached to II by a thin.
short chain a lucky tortoise in gold or
enamel. The mascot can be further en-
hanced by using ones birth stone.
Another mascot is a charm in the sign
of the zodiac for your birth month.
These come in gold or silver or may be
studded with your birth stone.
A motor bracelet of gold or silver wire
can have attached TO It various lucky
charms. as the lucky finger in ivory. a
lucky penny. a tiny rabbits foot. and
horseshoe, and a minute blue bird for
happiness as well as safety. Sometimes
these lucky pieces are worn around the
neck on a fine gold chain. or they form
an interesting pendant for the watch
fob.
Great favorites are the lucky pig and
lucky bear charm, while a novelty for
the cat lover Is a small bowl OF gold and
crystal. with two small goldfish in 1t and
a watchful cat at one side.

DANGER IN RAW FOODS.

In older civilizations. where the soil
has been exhausted. and needs constant
manuring. cooked fruit and vegetables
rather than raw are much more the rule
than with us In densely peopled China.
where night soil is used to fertiliZe the
land the eating of raw vegetables Is
said to be very rare. II Is easy TO see
why such foods. unCooked. may be very
dangerous. Although such methods are
not followed TO any great extent in the
United States, raw fruits and vegetables
may be a menace to health
Russian authority. Prof. Metchni-
kor because OF the possible presence OF
disease in the body. strongly advises
against the eating OF any raw food what
ever even II 1t has been washed in
boiled water. Although this View may
be considered extreme for American
conditions. IL shows what care must be
taken in the purchase and the cleans
ing ef food that is 10 be consumed raw.
Kitchen methods in many of their de-
tails fail to meet the requirements Of
sanitary science The cook is not train
ed in bacterioIogy: she does not know
what cleanliness means from the labora-
tory point Of view. The old-fashioned
hatred of dirt for its own loathsome
sake is the best substitute for this knowl-
edge. but II is not enough.
For instance. boiling has long been
known To kill whatever was the cause
OF 'spoilIng" of food. However. most
housekeepers did not boil out" the milk
pans; they simply scalded them. 'Scald-
ing is an indefinite term: II boiling hot
water is used, and enough of 1t. scald-
ing would doubtless be effective. but tCo
often when the facts in the case are not
thoroughly understood. such a process
is carelessly carried out and the desired
end is not accomplished.
When in such cases the milk spoils
Quickly It Is often attributed to the
weather or to bad luck. The housekeep-
er who understands the cause OF spoil
ing. and who knows that the micro
scopic plants responsible for II may be
destro-ed by sufficient degree OF heat
applied for the proper time. is more like
" to be successful than one who
works by rule of thumb.
Here, as in so many other household
problems, knowledge Is essential. How
is the ignorant cook to know that what
turks unseen In crack or seam may bring
to naught all her precautions? The home
" old dictum, that the only way TO
conquer dirt Is by "eternally keeping
at it, is as true as ever it was. but we
have come to realize the insidIousness
and, ommipuresence OF the enemy to
health.

fHE IDEAL GUEST.

How Is one to be the successful
guest" asks the woman's Companion.
"A hundred ways suggest themselves. a
lege of staying in the homes of others;
little household tasks that may be done:
little household rules and interests TO be
respectfully followed: little thoughtful
courtesies to be practiced: little pleas
ures OF one sort or another to bestow on
every one. but very especially on the
aged and the young: a hundred little
considerate. unselfish acts: a curbing OF
too violent opinions: a setting aside OF
too strong prejudices
"Al these are practical means. and
they Will materially help the girl who is
guest In the house OF another but back
Of all these les something more funda-
mental You may call II respect or OBJ
legation, or reverence, or duty, or love:
but whatever you name 1t. its function
is 10 make this home that you live in
whether II be your own home or the
home of another, n place OF obligation

you are under obi CATION TO give in pay
ment something OF finer metal than gold
or silver. The old phrase. I am much
obliged is good one. So. indeed. we
should all be much obliged TO give in
return for what We receive.
When all is said and done. when all
the guests have come and gone and the
FIRE burns low on the hearth. I find my
self still thinking OF the minstrel OF old
as the IDEAL Euest-the minstrel who.
poor though he was and hungry.
brought with him the gift of song and
stories that stirred the heart: who. in
return for the privilege of warming
himself at a blazing hearth. warmed the
hearts OF his hearers. added glow to life
and kindled purpose in those whose mo.

CLEANING WATER COOLERS.

The water and ice supply should both
be above suspicion.
The greatest care should be taken to
keep clean and in good condition all YES
sells in which water is used for house.
hold purposes. Water coolers. II used.
should be of some material like porce-
lain or enameled ware. which is easily
Kept clean. They should be scalded out
at frequent intervals.
The ice, II it comes In contact with
the water, should be of known quantity.
II such ice cannot be secured. a water
cooler should be used In which the ice
is In separate receptacle and does not
come In contact with the water. Many
families cool water by putting It In the
ice box in glass fruit Jars or bottles.
Perfect clearness is an indication OF
purity Of ice. Cloudy ice. full of bubbles
or snow Ice should not be used in direct
contact with food, and ice which con-
tains dirt of various kinds frozen In 1t
should be regarded with suspicion.
If 1t is believed that the water Is not
pure, it may be boiled. or filtered. or
both. II filters are used. every precau-
tion should be taken 10 keep them clean
and in good cordition and to rely only
on such as really purify the water.
Earthenware filters may be sterilized by
placing in pan or kettle Of water and
boiling them out after they have been
thoroughly scrubbed with a brush. A
small piece OF wood should be placed
under the jar to prevent direct contact
with the bottom OF the pan.
The water cooler in public places
should always be in charge OF a re-
sponsible person who will keep II clean
and in good condition. Some sort OF
sanitary drinking cup is desirable. The
public drinking cup should not be per-
mitted. II is uncleanly and furnishes a
ready means Of transmitting disease.
In many homes a glass or cup Is plac-
ed by the water cooler and Ii used by
all members of the family. Such a GUS
tom should not be followed or tolerated.
Although 1t is less dangerous than the
public drinking cup, 1t is not a cleanly
practice. and Is many times RESPONSE
BILE for the spread OF colds and minor
ailments throughout a family

Filling for Summer Cushions.

Any woman can make herself a num-
Der of inexpensive cushions for the sum-
mer bungalow or the porch OF the little
house in the country by cutting a roll
of cotton batting into small squares and
heating it in a baking pan in the oven
for half an hour. Each little square of
cotton will fun up to twice its natural
size and will be as light as a feather:
hut you must take care not to have the
oven too hot or IL will scorch.
Use half roll Of cotton for each pill
low, filling muslin slip eighteen inch
es square. Cover this with a dainty slip
of some materal that will wash we'll
silkoline, lowered chintzes, and ere
tonne, or sayly stamped cover that
can be bought for the purpose-and your
summer cushions win be q Joy for the

Mrs. Littleton Scores Victory
In Her Fight for Monticello
Notable Woman Secures
appointment of Commit
tee to Report on Purchase
of JeHerson'S Home.

Mrs Martin W. Littleton. wife OF Rep
resentative Littleton of New York, won
notable victory yesterday before the
Senate Committee on Library. when she
secured by unanimous vote an authorize
ton for a favorable report on Senator
Marines resolution authorizing the ap-
pointment OF a joint committee Of five
Senators and FIVE Representatives to in
vestiea.e and report on the feasibility Of
having the government acquire Month
cello, the home Of Thomas Jefferson.
Mrs. Littleton became interested in
having the government acquire the es-
tate and tomb of Thomas Jefferson and
preserve it. like Mount Vernon and Ar
lington, after she had made visit to
the place. A year ago she sent out an
interesting pamphlet devoted to proving
the patriotic duty of the government TO
acquire and preserve Monticello. Since
then Mrs. Littleton has kept up the fight
over many obstacles.
The most formidable OF these has been
the opposition Of Representative Jefferson
NJ. Levy, who owns Monticello, and de-
clares that he will not sell it to the
government. When Mrs. Littleton ap-
peared before the committee yesterday

w. Duke, jr., of Charlottesville, Va. who
appeared as the representative of Mr..
Levy, and who took issue with Mrs. Lit
tIeton's statement in regard to the pres
ent condition of Monticello.
She had told the committee that 'the
roads leading to the Jefferson estate were
atrocious; that the residence needed
painting. and that the general appear
ance of the place was one of neglect and
decay. Mr.. Duke explained that Repre-
sentative Levy had no desire to sell
Monticello. eveA to the government. He
insisted that the place was kept in re-
pair. Senator Cummins, a member Of the
committee. suggested that Monticello
might be acquired by the exercise OF the
right of eminent domain.
I'VE have taken private property from
private owners for public purposes here
tofore, and there As no question that We
can do so in this case IL 1t becomes nee
essary," suggested Senator Cummins.
The force OF this suggestion appeared
to appeal to Judge Duke, who observed |
that In spite of Mr.. Levy's unwilIingness |
to sell the property. he believed that IL |
the Congressman could be convinced |
that there was a wide popular interest |
in acquiring 1t for patriotic use, that he |
would yield.
