How to Meet
The Screen Question

THAT perennial summer question.
the porch screen. is not only with
US. but rather overdue. but in many
households this problem has not been
met Every one knows that porehes
and lawns are robbed OF much of their
power to please unless the owners
have wisely provided their homes with
the right kind OF screens.
The vast majority of steel wire
screens, however have long since lost
their usefulness and passed away.
Screens" says the House Beautiful
Magazine, are exposed to all kinds Of
weather and are pushed and pulled.
damned and knocked and probably re-
ceive the hardest wear of any fixtures
in the house. They should. therefore,
be well made and of most enduring
materials and should be handled pa
tiently and reasonably.
The first cost OF screens should
never be considered. Rustless wire
only should be used, for few house
owners have time or patience to re-
peated1y paint or repair them The
stoutest and best of frames should be
provided with corners securely NOR
tised. Then one may expect that With
reasonable care screens will last. One
will not be subjected to that discour-
aging annoyance Of finding ones
screens worn out just when the first
warm days make it necessary that
windows be protected at once.
There is a rustless wire to be had
made of steel heavily galvanized. and
there is solid bronze wire The latter
is most durable. All screens made of
it. when the frames are properly built.
will last forever Many screens are
now made with metal frames a very
! satisfactory and permanent way to
make them.
For outside swinging easement win
dows there are screens which open II
by means of a clever window opening
device, which need not be opened to
open the window. For ordinary win
dows there are half screens (protect-
| ing the lower sash only) and whole
screens. which protect the whole win
dow. permitting the sash to be opened
| top or bottom. These screens are very
much better for this very reason.
Manufacturers have worked out
modern screens very cleverly Many
are now made which can be applied
without even a screw. little hooks and
loose joint hinges or buttons being
used instead.
| Screen doors must be carefully
made to stand hard usage. The right
kind. made by experts, are easy to
procure anywhere. Trained screen
| makers know all the little practica
points too, which come to them with
years of experience-the right kind OF
wire. the right kind of frames and the
right kind of fit and the right kind Of
hardware. all information of much
value to the house owner"

TRY CAMPING OUT AT HOME

HERE Is a splendid, restful and easy
idea that the overworked house
wife who is obliged TO spend the sum
mer at home may carry into operation.
Camp out in your own house. The
only reason 1t seems difficult to keep
the house up through the summer is
because most homemakers live up to
their cold weather. standards AS little
entertaining of a formal character goes
on in the summer it is really unneces-
ssry to keep the house in dress up cos
tune.
Suppose you try this camping out
plan during the warm weather. taking
down all the curtains and draperies /;
also taking up the carpets. Spread
light rugs instead. and if curtains you
must have let them be of swiss or some
kind OF net. preferably fishnet Those
of the latter material are more durable,
although less dainty, than the swiss
hangings.
Put linen covers on the chairs. unless
they are of wood or wicker or. better
still. put the heavier chairs out of
commission entirely and replace them
with wicker or wooden ones
1t adds to the cool appearance of
the home if growing or cut flowers are
placed about the rooms where they
will sway in the lightest breeze and

suggest GOODNESS even when the mer-
curry is highest.
Leave all the windows closed until
toward evening-that is. in rooms
where the light is not essential-and
you will be surprised to notice how in
viting and seemingly cool the town
house may become.
The meals in summer. too. can be on
the picnic order On very warm days
a luncheon eaten picnic fashion will be
more appetzing and at the same time
less difficult to prepare than one served
in the regular way No table need he
set. and paper napkins and plates can
be used: consequently there will be
only silver and cups to be washed.
The picnic fare-sandwiches. iced
tea. stuffed eggs. perhaps a salad and
fruit-might be spread on a small ia
bic on the porch or in the darkened
and cool dining room.

RAG RUGS FOR THE PORCH.

Rag rugs dyed to match the chairs
or in a color which harmonizes
with them are the best porch floor COW
erings of cheap quality. OF course
there is nothing more desirable for this
purpose than grass and fiber rugs of
good quality. but these do cost money.
Last summer an economical young wo-
man bought cheap mating. cut it in
appropriate lengths. turned under the
ends and bound them with wide green
braid and applied a stenciled design in
red and brown to each end of the rugs.
For about a week the rugs looked we'll
then the stencil began to wear off and
the mating began to show foUtmarks,
and before month had passed the
rugs were not fit to use.

Packing the
Summer Wardrobe

IF you are packing two. three or per-
haps half dozen trunks for your
summer outing trip you may appre-
ciate valuable hints given by an expert
packer.
The usual result of poor packing is
discovered at the end of a journey,
when the contents of the trunk are all
hnddled together in heap in one end
or other of the trunk.
A heroic remedy for such conditions
is first TO pack your trunk or trunks,
as usual taking all the care you can;
then have some strong handed man
take hold of one end of each and DELHI
erately upend it after the manner of
expert baggage snashers. 1t win break
your heart almost to pieces to witness
this sight, remembering your delicate
chiffon waists. frocks and other things.
but it will prove a blessing in disguise
if you open each trunk and see just
what has been thrown about in q dam
aging fashion and remedy the evil be-
fore you leave for the trip.
1t has been said that a trunk cannot
be packed too tightly. and this is true
when 1t is of a moderate size But if a
huge old timer of a trunk must needs
be used It will be too heavy and there
fore will get all kinds of hard knocks
en- route.
If you find a lot of empty corners in
your trunk fill them with crumpled pa
per if you have nothing more to pack.
Most women unfortunately have an
idea that a trunk will hold just q little
more even when they have decided
that not another article can go in, not
even another tie or pocket handker-
chief. Giving the trunk a good ''shak-
ing down beforehand win enable one
TO carry something that otherwise
would have to so into a crowded suit
case or hand bag.
For short trips nothing is SO valuable
as the well made telescope. 1t holds
sufficient for ten days trip. does not
muss up things, viii hold a great deal
more than a steamer trunk, and if a
good one made of Japanese mating
with leather corners and stout straps
| is selected it will be light to carry even
when full. 1t is easier to carry. too,
| than the ordinary suit case, which
bothers a woman almost to death and
is the bane of mankind with its pro-
| truding and intrusive corners and i'm
possible height. too tall to so under the
| Pullman, too big TO set in the aisle and
always in somebody's way, besides be-
ing too heavy to carry.

BANANA DISHES COOP FOR SUMMER DAYS

ored blue satin and brocade in gray

and slippers match the costume.
Another example of bathing cos
tunes de luxe is also pictured. it has
a modish coat effect of rose Powered
futurist silk. Small rhinestone but
tons trim the front of the bodice in
the approved French fashion. for all
bathing suits that bear the stamp of
the Partisan ateller sparkle these days.
The suit worn under this gorgeous
coat is of inconspicuous black satin.
And let me say in passing. if one
must have something to strike the eyes
of the beholder. confine that indispen-
sable something to the bathing coat or
cape.

it quickly by plunging the mold in ice
water or standing it on ice: then add
another layer OF banana and another
of the gelatin. Chill again. Repeat
this process until the mold is full. Chill
1t on ice for several hours. Turn from
the mold and serve with whipped
cream and sliced bananas.
Another good warm weather dish is
made with bananas in this way: Peel
four ripe firm bananas and cut them
in thin slices. Chop walnuts to fill a
cup. season with salt, pepper and the
juice of half a lemon and mix with the
banana slices. Serve on a bed of wa
tercress with French dressing.

LINGERIE BOWS.

EASTIDIOUS women have long been
tired of the lingerie garments that
are slotted for baby ribbon in all posi-

the ribbon gives is introduced by sin
gle soft bows. On the newest French
nightgowns there are two large but
tonholes to be found at the front and
through these is passed a soft wide
ribbon which is tied in bow. This is
much less troublesome than threading
ribbons through slots or stitching on a
