VANITY BAG AS A GIFT
Most Appropriate Offering for the
Young Lady Who 10 About to
Graduate.

Many of your young friends will
graduate this year and you are. no
doubt, wondering what to give them.
Why not make them each q vanity
bag? They are dainty and extremely
useful, therefore any girl would be
delighted to possess one. It requires
twelve inches Of four-inch wide ribbon
Of a plain design. Basic an inch-wide
hem at each end and embroider row
Of briarstitching an inch from the
edge on all sides of the ribbon. Fold
the ends over and neatly whipstitch
the sides together.
Thread narrow satin ribbon through
the top to form drawstring. and fin
ish the ends with rosettes Of the rib
bon. II desired, the center Of the tiny
vanity bag can be decorated with an
embroidered monogram or wreath
of forget-me-nots and foliage EN-.
broidered with pale pink, blue or
white silk to match the ribbon used.
This latter makes an especially dainty
decoration, and is easily done, as the
flowers are not padded. A wreath
formed of miniature rosebuds, daisies
or violets wCeld be equally effective.
Within the bag place handkerchief,
tiny mirror, powder puff, cake of pow.
der and piece Of pinked flannel con.
tanning black and white pins. This
little vanity bag can be placed in the
pocket of the evening coat or in the
muff, and is always ready to aid

Hints For the Housewife.

Always screen all foods and do not
unnecessarily expose your dishes.
When cooling newly baked bread
cover it slightly with clean cloth.
If the top of the stove is crowded
the oven can be utilized for cooking
vegetables which are usually cooked
on top. Place the vegetables in COW
cred agate pans.
1t is best to heat the plates before
putting hot pies on them when first
taken out Of the oven. If hot pies are
put on cold plates they sweat. making
the under crust soggy.
If you want to bake potatoes quick
y clean them and pour boiling water
over them. Let them stand on the
stove for five or ten minutes. then put
them in the oven to bake.
Instead Of melting butter when you
want to mix it with sugar, place the
butter in a double boiler and allow il
to get warm. i will then beat up very
easily with the sugar and will not
cause the cake to be heavy.

Gen. Nelson A. Miles, formerly at
the head of the army, had a good rea-
son for not entering the contest
for the election of a representative in
Congress from the Third Massachusetts
district. If elected he would have been
forced to resign his position in tho
army, and this would mean loss of a
salary of something like $4,000 a
year. Although on the retired list he
is still subject to the orders of the
war department in case the command
crin-chief desires his services.

OilcIoth Instead of Hoops.

\ new idea is a centerpiece of white
linen and plate doilies made in one Il
IS cut round to fit 4 table and six
pieces about eighteen inches in length
extend from the centerpiece, leaving Il
space sufficiently large for bread and
butter plate dolly. The edges are
scalloped and the embroidery is done
in eyelet work.
Instead of using an embroidery hoop
for small stitches and dainty work like
letters on handkerchiefs and pillow
slips French oilcloth is often used for
a stretcher. Cut q square rather larg-
er than the figure or initial to be en-
brofdered and haste it with fine cotton
on TO the back of the material. The
glazed surface prevents the needle
from piercing the oilcloth, while its
| pliability enables it to be bent easily
over the finger when necessary.
