BLOUSE CUT IN ONE PIECE BLACK SATIN HAT RETAINED
One of TuIe VaIenciennes Is Made
With Neither Trimming Nor
Fullness.

The newest cream white blouses are
more plain than ever. The prettiest
are tulle valenciennes, or a kind OF
soft point d'esprit with figures like
those III the valenciennes design One
blouse of this material has not the
slightest trimming or fullness except
in the back, where there is a tiny bit
TO cover the opening and make it look
like a narrow plat The entire thing
is made in one piece. the sole garnish
being little button studs of black vel
vet in two rows at the throat. both
back and front, and on the wrists.
The neck is cut low and round. with
cording of the lace in three rows.
A noticeable feature Of this blouse,
which was designed in a house in the
Place Vendome and intended for the
Riviera, is the sleeves made all in one
piece, with no extensions whatever. 1t
is as though the entire thing had been
nodded together. No doubt the styles
for the coming season will adopt ideas
seen in this blouse. We have arrived
at a period when cuts and finishes are
at their cresendo Of plainness Moth
ing further is possible because effects
could not possibly be any more rigid

Curtains Of Fine Net.

1t has always been possible to get
coarse nets in crude colors. This year
one of the fine nets has appeared in
soft artistic shades that are a delight
to the eye; old blue, mulberry. brown,
light blue and pink are few OF the
colors. 1t is so inches wide and sells
for so cents a yard 1t will make
satisfactory substitute for two sets
of curtains, combining the transpar-
ency of the white net and the color Of
silk or linen. says a writer for the
Pictorial Review. The bungalow nets,
also colored, are very effective. The
designs are large and there are usu-
ally two colors in the design. One
is gold and cream, another brown and
gold, a third two shades of old red,
another blue and ecru, etc. These
are 80 inches wide, and sell for $3.50.

INVALID COOKERY.

In cooking eggs for those who are
i'll, it is of utmost Importance that
they should not be tOughened.
They may be cooked from the vel
soft to the hard stage by using the
simple method of boiling water. AL
low a pint to an egg, cover the dish
and keep in a warm place. If wanted
hard, leave the egg thirty minutes; II
wanted soft, take out in eight to ten
minutes; if liked medium, take out at
the end of fifteen minutes.
Egg baked in cream is a very APP
petizing manner of cooking an egg.
Place a tablespoonful of cream in a
small ramekin drop in the egg. sea-
son with butter and salt and set in
the oven long enough to coddle the
egg.
Beat the white of an egg until stiff,
season with salt snd drop the white
on piece of buttered toast, making
a nest. then place the yolk in the CEN
ter and season. Put into the oven
for few minutes to just set the egg.
SHRED Eeg.-Mix together an
eighth of a cup of bread crumbs and
half tablespoonful of butter; stir I'M
til we'll mixed. Cover the bottom of
an egg shirrer or ramekin with the
buttered crumbs, break in an egg,
sprinkle with salt, cover with more
crumbs, and set in the oven to cook
until the white is set.
CoddIed Egs.-Scald a third of a
cup of milk, add one egg beaten
slightly, cook over hot water, stirring
constantly, until a soft, creamy con-
sistency then season with salt and
dash of cayenne. Serve with toast
points or fingers.
Sometimes dainty bread and butter
sandwiches will be eaten with relish
when bread with butter would be re-
fused.

WAYS OF SERVING THE OYSTER.

Before the oyster is out of market.
let US try few new ways of serving
1t:
Oysters a la Gordon.-Bring a cup
of cream to the boiling point, add a
third of a cup of bread crumbs, dash
of paprika, pinch of salt grating Of
nutmeg, tablespoonful of butter and
cup of chopped oysters. Cook I'M
til the oysters are we'll cooked
through
Oysters a la Long Branch.-Drain
pint of oysters. Cook a cupful Of
finely cut celery in the oyster liquor
until transparent, adding water if
needed. When the celery is cooked,
add a tablespoonful of butter, the
juice of half lemon, a grating of the
peel and three tablespoonfuls of Or
anSe or any fruit juice Bring to the
boiling point, cook the oysters until
the edges curl, and serve on toast.
French Way of Cooking Oysters
Make a sauce of a tablespoonful of
butter, two of -four and a cup of to-
mato juice. Add a tablespoonful Of
chopped onion, two tablespoonfuls Of
ange or any fruit juice Bring to the
Cover and cook until the oysters
curl.
Waldorf Oysters.-Put three table
spoonfuls of olive oil in a saucepan,
and small onion sliced, a shredded
green pepper; fry slowly until done,

HOUSEHOLD coNVENIENcES.

Many people have large, useful
trays, but they are never used except
on state occasions, while every day
weary steps are taken which might be
divided by ten if one used some uten-
sill for removing dishes and food from
the table to the pantry. A wire dish
tray is convenient and light. If one
does not care to use a tray. the
dishes may be piled into it and quick
ly removed.
If one was handy with tools, the
handy man could make, with little ex-
pense, a wheeled tray which could hold
the entire meal, and remove it in an
other trip.
The small wheels from go-cart are
used on homemade trays.
The use of paper or wooden plates
in the kitchen for much of the left
over food are light and easy to
handle. and not expensive to replace
when soiled.
Paper Of all kinds in the kitchen
saves the table, saves dish washing,
and is an all round step saver A roll
of paper toweling to use for greasy
dishes, wiping knives OF grease and
acid, wiping out greasy plates, is in
valuable Manila paper may be used
for many purposes as work savers.
Use it for a molding board or for
crumbing croQuettes, then the soiled
paper can be burned, where a board
w"rld have to be washed
a bottle of kerosene near the sink
to wipe it out, will save much scour-
ing.
When cooking a salad dressing or
q white sauce, a custard or many veg
etables, prepare more than is needed
for the time being, 1t takes but little
more fuel and time to practice this
economy.
If one has a table covered with zinc
IN the kitchen it will save much clean
ing, and is indeed joy forever.
Keep small squares Of cheese cloth
TO wipe the meat before cooking.
These may then be dried and burned.
These small bits are nice for use in
straining soups, fats or vinegar.

CHAPTER v.

Eleven o'clock on a moonlight night
in July is a bewitching time to sit
alone on a balcony and dream, and if
the dream be staged at Squirrel Inn,
where the scent of perennial stock
and the rich, salubrious tang of the
hemlocks watt up to meet the nostrils,
If It be in the midst of towering trees
with a lake lullaby chanting and
grooming on the beach and If the
spirit of wanderlust is abroad to
charm and inspire, ali, then the time
and place and the girl are in harmony
sublime!
Judge Jackie Vining, clothed in a
loose. clinging house gown, sat alone
and gave her fancy free rein, enjoying
the serenity of the night and the al
Turing promises of her air castles.
And ever and anon as she unused
there crept into her thoughts with
suffusion of blood to her cheeks. the
face of the man who had held her
close against her will and slipped the
nectar of her lips.
"a perfect gentleman"
Somehow she felt a thrill of graft
fication at the verdict as rendered by
Mae Andrews, for Mae was one of
the most charming of the ten girls
who idled at Squirrel Inn and her APP
prevail of the prisoner promised well
for the remaining nine. And, too, 1t
relieved her mind, somewhat, for the
responsibility rested heavily on her
fair head. AS the accepted leader of
the vacationists she felt her account
ableness-and besides, If one is kissed
by man one likes know that after
Ill he is a gentleman, though bold
Confession is good for tie soul, and
Jackie rejoiced that If she must be
her own father confessor. she at least
need not blush for the character Of
the man who made the confession
necessary.
Her rejoicing was broken in upon
by the redolent odor of tobacco blend
ing pungently with the perfume Of
the stock. She drew back into the
shadows. AS she did so, white
clothed form sped lightly across the
lawn toward the house
Miss Winnings heart thumped
strangely. The scudding figure was
that of woman and IN the moon
light her hair was fair. The appari-
ton in white fitted up the hotel stairs
and disappeared.
The Judge" waited furtiyely, watch
ing the summer house-from which
there soon emerged the figure of
man-and in the night the red coal
of his cigar glowed in the darkness!
Jackie's Indignation sprang into
monstrous being. Who of the ten
young ladies was holding a clandes-
the meeting with His Honor, The
Mayor?
Could 1t be Mae Andrews?
Hastily slipping down the hotel
corridor, Judge Vining gently tried
the door Of Miss Andrews room. 1t
was locked. With a heavy heart
Jackie returned to her apartment;
but as she lay tossing in dainty neg
ligee upon her bed, new worry was
harassing her.
