ARTISTIC EFFECT IN FLOWERS
Each Woman Must Study for Herself
How Best to Achieve the De-
sired Results.

Roses are best for evening wear.
Even if they are buds do not wear
three or four of them, as that would
spoil the artistic effect. Select one
bull-blown crimson rose, or a delicate
yellow one if you are dark haired, and
tuck it into the coil of your hair, allow
ing it to nestle close to the ear A
pink rose will look well in the golden
hair of the blonde girl. Some blondes
may wear a yellow rose with good
effect.
The smart way to wear flowers on
the tailored suit it isto attach them to
the left lapel of the tailored coat. Vio-
lets look best worn near the waist line
just little to the left side, and tied
with soft, narrow, shaded violet satin
ribbon.
The girl who Is just now wearing
quaint fischus and has fancy for
parting her hair in the middle and
dressing in a picturesque style may
wear old-time garden flowers with ar
tistic effect They should be made
into small bouquets and fastened to
the chiffon scarf or the dainty null
fischu, or bunch of loose flowers
may be worn at the corsage. Yellow
daisies gracefully arranged, make an
attractive corsage bouquet.
A pretty custom is to wear one
flower which becomes associated
with your personality. Not every
girl can afford expensive jewelry, but
she can always have flowers.

Hessonite.

Hessonite might be a new disease
or a new fad, but it's simply a new
shade and it's named for the Grand
Duke of Hesse. The shade, which is
neither distinctly rose nor amethyst,
but blending of the two, is found
chiefly in the semi-precious stones of
translucent composition and brilliant
luster such as are used for necklaces,
chains and lorgnette holders, as well
as for hatpin tops and toilet pins of
a minor character Hessonite, con-
sidered as color, somewhat partakes
of the futurists' idea of shade blend
ing, for the rose and the amethyst
tones so melt into each other that it
is impossible to say which one has the
stronger characteristic.

Baked Eous With Ham.

Add a teaspoonful of onion juice to
a cupful of finely-chopped boiled ham;
beat six eggs light, stir the ham into
them. season with little pepper-no
more salt will be needed than is sup
piled by the hama tablespoonful OF
minced parsley, and turn the mix
ture into frying pan in which is a
tablespoonful of melted butter. You
can either stir the mixture as you
would for scrambled eggs until the
eggs thicken, or you may cook it as
you would an omelet, loosening it
from the bottom with an omelet knife
and folding it when done. In either
way 1t is very good

ECONOMY IN CANNING SEASON
Odds and Ends of Fruits and Vegeta-
bIes That Have Lost Their First
Freshness May Be Utilized.

One bright woman noticed that her
market gardener always had some
vegetables and fruit left over each
day; some days there would not be-
much, other days there would be quite.
surplus. She saw that he was throw
ing away vegetables and fruits that
only lacked their first freshness, SO
she made arrangements with him TO
buy all this surplus at very small
price, and in this way get winter s
supply of homemade canned goods at
much less cost than in the usual
way.
She makes ripe tomatoes up into
catsups, dries and pickles green beans
and peas, dries and cans sweet corn.
puts cucumbers down in pickle,
pickles young beets and cans them
and cans fruit or makes 1t into pre-
serves and buffers
She has found that canning by the
fireless method is a great saver. By
canning in this way the house is kept
cool, fuel is saved and she is free
from the fear of water boiling away.
Clean and prepare the vegetables as
for all canning.
Select beets of uniform size and
leave in the cooker three and one-half
hours. Caulifower should be separat-
ed into it's flowerets and well washed
to free from insects. Leave in the
cooker three hours. Asparagus, peas
and young string beans do not need
to be left in as long as harder vegeta-
bles. Fruits should be canned in the
same way Soft berries should be ta-
ken from the cooker in three-quarters
Of an hour. Apples and pears should
be left an hour. Pineapple would take
two and one-half hours.

Boiled Flank Of Beef.

This is part of the beef that most
people consider useless, but this way
it is all right. Wash the hank and
make dressing as for turkey. Salt
the meat and spread the dressing over
it, roll up and tie by winding quite a
lot of string around it. Then sew up
in thin cloth, piece of cheese cloth
is nice to use Put plate in pot
and lay the meat on it, put In about
six quarts of boiling water and boil
gently about six hours. When done
remove the cloth, but do not remove
the string until cold. Slice thin and
l think you will say it is all right.
You can use the corned or the fresh
flank. If you use the corned. don't
have 1t corned too much.

Well to Know,

An accommodating silversmith is
authority for this bit Of advice:
Never put your silver away in white
bags to keep it in good condition.
Use dark red or blue or green cotton
flannel bags-the kind that jewelers.
and silversmiths use.
And there Is a reason for not using
the white bags. There is in the
bleaching process to which they are
subjected a certain amount of sui
phur and other chemicals that have a
tendency to tarnish the silver when 1t
comes in contact with it. The colored
bags do not possess this dangerous
characteristic and are much safer than
the white ones

If from the average man you wish to
win respect or admiration.
There is a way that never fails, no mat
ter what your occupation;
You may engage in deals that look q
triffe shady or suspicious;
You may get on by hook or crook and
cling to habits that are vicious,
But you may cause the average man to
humbly pay you his addresses
BY having just a little more than he
possesses.
You may not have the taste that spells
experience and education;
1t may be that you have not gained q
very lofty station:
You may have little grace or wit and
claim the coarsest Doors ambition:
You may be totally unfit for any promi-
nent position.
But by your neighbor you can be ap-
plauded, envied and admired,
If. you have just little more than he's
acquired.
If Brown has more than Foster. Brown
stands high in Fosters estimation.
And Foster though his merit shines,
from Brown gets small considera-
:, ton;
For men have but one standard which
they use in measuring each other;
He who has managed to get rich Is still
awed by his richer brother;
So If you wish to be Nsteemed put all
things else aside and labor
To be little richer than your richest
neighbor.

feet Home-Arrangement of
Furnishings important.

Our house looks SO ugly to me-
said a young matron recently. But
l don't know how to make it look
nice and like other peoples"
And there are many other women in
a like predicament. They simply
haven't the taste for home decoration
and arrangement that seems natural In
others. To all such women, who are
discontented with the appearance or
their house interior and cannot afrord
to employ a professional decorator to
show them what is wrong and help
them decorate it, would recommend
the following reflections:
First of all-is your house too
crowded? Go over it carefully, room
by room, and consider what might be
stored in the attic or given away. see
if you can't exchange large table IN
q small room for the small table IN
a large room and get a truer rear
rangement of the furniture so as to get
more space. Don't hurry about IT,,
either, but think each room over care
fully and try each change to be sure
1t is right.
Next-are your pictures hung right?
Pictures should be hung where they
can be seen easily-about on the Level
with the eyes. And they should be
hung fiat against the wall, and not
slanting away against the wall, and
not slanting away from 1t at the top.
l saw little sitting-room absolutely
transformed by having the pictures re-
hung not long ago.
Now take a look at your sofa or
couch pillows Are they like Joseph's
coat of many colors? If they are, try
covering half of them with some plain
material, cool, gray-green denim, or
tan crash. and see how much more
restful your room instantly becomes.
Dull blue denim may be used, also. II
blue suits your other upholstery.
AS to wall paper-well, we may as
well suppose that you cannot change

why your home isn't pretty you might

Washinu Blankets,

Pour into a tub half pint of house

it: cover Immediately with lukewarm
water. This sends the fumes of the
ammonia through the blanket and
loosens the dirt. The blanket should

in the water; then rinse in tub of
clear water of the same temperature
as the first. Run lightly through a
wringer and hang out to dry.

Lemonade Hint.

When making lemonade dissolve the
sugar in little hot water before put
ting it into the lemonade. This keeps
the sugar from sinking to the bottom
of the glass and sweetens it more
quickly. Another method is to put the
lemon in hot water before squeezing.
as it gives as much juice.
