Boas Very Fashionable.

Boas and throatlets make most be-
coming additions to a toilet, and en-
nance the coloring of a dress very
successfully. To many women the
vogue for quiet looking frocks is of
appealing charm, and their favorite
choice Is white. draped with black or
black with white. which has rather
more festive looking air
They add to q black hat mass of
white plumage and wear white
feather scarf or short ruff1e tied with
black ribbons at one side, and repeat
the magpie scheme by the addition of
white stockings and black shoes, car
rying black and white paraSol with
a border of white feathers.
1t is not easy to exaggerate the
charm Of white dress yelled with
black shadow lace. over which a filmy
cloud of white chiffon Is introduced a
cloud that does not cover the back
ground entirely. but that Grapes it

ranged, or that introduces tablier

The FishWife Tunic.

One of the logical developments Of the
pannier fashion is that of the ''fishwife'
or laveuse tunic. and 1t has already ap-
peared upon the scene. One Of them Is in
lemon and white striped foulard edged
around the ''iishwife" and around the
hem with black silk. The drapings of the
tunic at the back are kept very fiat. The
bodice is slightly pouched, fastens down
the front, and has picturesque sleeves
with very deep cuffs in black silk. with
points that reach up to the elbow, and
trimmed all the way with lemon and
white buttons and narrow frills of p.eated
black tulle continued around the wrist.
At the neck this pretty frock is finished
with a dropping frtll of black tulle, the
edges buttonholed with lemon color. The
belt Is black satin and the waist is in IL
normal position.

Dainty Sandwiches for
the Luncheon Table
BY ELIZABETH LEE.

! Sandwiches of various kinds will be
| welcomed at the lunch table during warm
| weather quite as much as they are at the
outdoor picnic. and there are often many
| scraps Of leftovers that might be utilized
| in making sandwiches. but which would
| not be presentable served upon dish in
| their present condition.
| For instances. a leg of lamb, which
| shows more bone than meat. is not very
appetizing. but minced finely and mixed
| with little sauce. chopped olive. and
the whole creamed with mayonnaise suffi-
GENTLY stiff to spread between slices of
thin bread and butter, will be delicious.
Scraps Of cheese grated. mixed with a
little cream and dash of good hot sauce
makes an excellent filling for either white
OF graham bread. The cheese. however.
should be rubbed to paste. \ few
chopped walnuts added to cottage cheese
and spread upon lettuce leaves, finally
inciosed Between slices of thin bread and
butter, will surely be appreciated.
Cream cheese sandwiches are Very
tasty. The cheese is beaten to a soft
cream. a few chopped olives being added
during the process.
This is moistened with mayonnaise and
| then placed between crackers, not spread
with butter.
Children love walnut sandwiches. and
as these are easy to prepare, rs Well as
most nutritious, there is no reason why
they should not appear upon the table
quite frequently during warm weather.
The nuts must be blanched and chopped
then mixed with a little cream cheese and
spread between thin slices Of gra ham
bread.
They will eat watercress sandwiches,
too, when they might refuse the cress
au naturel. The green leaves are chop
ped. seasoned with salt. a dash Of pepper,
between very thin slices of white bread.
Sandwiches made from slices of Bos-
ton brown bread. buttered and filled with
crisp lettuce leaves dipped into French
dressing, are delightful. Mock crab
sandwiches are general favorites, and as
most of the ingredients required are to
be found in the average kitchen they
can be hastily prepared. Half a cup of
grated cheese is mixed with salt, paprika,
mustard and vinegar to taste, and then
the whole is beaten together with a
couple of tablespoonfuls of creamed but
ter. Some people like the addition of
olives. but to my thinking these are not
an improvement. When thoroughly
chilled spread between thin slices of
white bread.
! Real crab sandwiches call for the yol,<
of an egg hard boiled and rubbed to
powder with a little butter, the crab meat
chopped and few drops of vinegar or
lemon juice. When mixed to a paste
! spread on thin slices of buttered bread.
| This makes delicious sandwiches.
| Even plain ham and bacon can be made
attractive if cut very thin and broiled,
then placed between slices of thin bread
and butter and eaten hot.
These recipes are all for savory sand
wiches. but this by no means completes
the list. for the variety of sweet sand
wiches is almost unlimited.

Summer Sunburn.

Here is pleasant emulsion for sun
burn. Obtain one ounce Of sweet almonds
and pound them in a marble mortar.
Then add. in the order in which they are
mentioned here, eight ounces of rose
water and eight ounces of orange flower
water. When these are we'll blended
add a quarter of an ounce of tincture Of
benZoin and One-eighth of an ounce of
pulverized boraX. This is not only excel
lent for sunburn, but it freshens and
softens the skin after bicycling or any
other outdoor sport.
Another healing lotion for the same
purpose is composed of one dram of
boracic acid and two ounces of haZeline,
added to two ounces of rose water.

HOW TO CUT AND
FIT A LONG SLEEVE

The sleeve Is the rock upon which the
amateur dres.maker founders
Indeed, the professional dressmaker will
admit this is really the most difficult part
OF the gown. You see, there being two

as every woman knows. the sleeves can
make or mar"
If not cut exactly alike and basted cor
rectly one sleeve may be larger than the
other while if not sewn in at the right
point one is apt to twist while the other
will behave itself properly.
A paper pattern will probably be used,
and. if SO, then the directions must be
carefully read. Most patterns describe
how to alter sleeve length-that is. to
lay fold in the pattern If the sleeve Is
to be shortened and to cut through the
paper and draw apart if a longer sleeve
is desired. Where this cut or fold shall
be depends upon the wearer. The point
of the elbow is found and the change
made above or below it. as required.
Long sleeves have been so long out of
fashion that the younger dressmaker'
may have almost forgotten how to make
them. Now that they are fashionable
again a little instruction may be timely
After accurately cutting the sleeves
basting Is Of the utmost Importance
Tailors recognize this. and it is one of
the reasons ror their neat work.
Take short stitches always. Gather the
fullness at the elbow, and when both
seams are baDted lay the sleeves fiat
upon the table
IL cut and basted correctly the inner
scam will turn to the under part Of the
sleeve from elbow to wrist, while the
seam from shoulder to elbow will be
exactly on the edge. Now, II this line

Boudoir Caps.

The boudoir cap is in fashion again,
and. though less full and fluffy around
the head. 1t contains quite as much ma
terial those of last year Some are
made of the very finest lawn. while others
are entirely of lace The idea is to cover
the hair during. the various processes of

when the toilet Is quite ,complete. and it
forms a charming adjunct OF the break

Just who started it nobody seems to
know, possibly it was the Merry Little
Breezes who are forever trying to do
something for somebody else. Anyway,
they did a lot of whispering and giggiing
as they watched Jerry Muskrat making
ready to build his new house. Afterward
they danced away across the Green
Meadows. In surprisingly short time
all the little people who live in the Green
Meadows and in the Green Forest SEEM
ed to know all about what was going on
at the Smiling Pool. And they all SEEM
ed to have the same idea, which was.
what do you think? Why. to help Jerry
Muskrat TO build his new house.
Jerry didn't ask for any help. oh, my,
no, Such thought never entered the

body.
