CoIored Rope Rugs.

TN Paris one lives out Of doors so much
that there are always new creations
| for the gardens and porches and the
many terraces in the country where one
finds the table set for meal.
Among these new things is a large cir
cular rug made in a simple design OF col
ored rope.
The natural hempen color is used for
the border and the circular center. and
between are huge sailor knots of red or
purple or blue rope. The effect is most
attractive, and you can imagine how well
such floor covering looks in an open
air dining room or on a stone terrace
where afternoon tea Is served.
There Is no reason why these rugs can
not be copied by women who like such
things and know where to get them done.
Rope is easily bought and easily dyed
in the preferred colorS, and there are
places in any town where sailorlike work
Is done.
Remember the rug Is open in its design.
1t resembles coil of rope and loops such
as one would see on the deck of yacht.
1t may have been first used on some one s
yacht and rapidly have become the fash
ion for country houses.
A German Importation which has been
transplanted into Paris is the huge UNI
brella made of striped awning and ma
terial edged with deep fringe, which is
mounted on a heavy standard and at
tached to the middle of the tea table in
the garden. 1t is also used over reading
tables that are placed under arbors, for
continental Europe does not care to sit
indoors whenever it Is possible to sit out
doors.
The ordinary umbrella is of red and
white or yellow and white striped avn
ing cloth, but at Marines one sees these
umbrellas in brilliant futurist colors,
with heavy cotton fringe and a brass
standard

Correct Corsets.

THERE is SO wide q range Of styles in
! the new corsets that 1t is possible
for any woman to find a model which will
bring out the best points of her figure.
The bust line has gradually been lowered.
and now the average woman wears a
corset measuring from 2 to inches
above the waist line. The skirt or lower
part Of the corset is longer even than
those worn during the summer and mt
snugly over the hips and back. The
boning Is very soft, and the materials
extremely elastic.
Sometimes elastic Is set In at the side
fronts to give freedom of motion, and at
the same time close fit. Elastic web
bing is sometimes employed for the en-
tire corset in the larger sizes. 1t Is used
for hin confines and gore sections. The
use OF this webbing frequently does away
with alterations.
Fashionable women now wear different
corsets for different purposes. For even
ing a soft, pliable corset of silk tricot -
suitable For street wear under tailored
gown, or a suit, a heavier corset Is al
most essential A good model for this
purpose Is made of brocaded silk, with
front lacing and elastic bands at the
sides and across the back. which makes
il possible to sit down comfortably.
An excellent model for constant wear
the figure in place and yet does not re-
strict it in any way. II Is important that
corsets should be fitted, just as q gown
should be fitted. Though there are GER
tain STYLES for certain uses. fitting Is
necessary for individual satisfaction.

When Making Soup.

YEAvY foods swallowed quickly
shock the stomach and frequently
produce nervous indigestion. Every
one should sip a little clear. thin hot soup
at the beginning of heavy meal. and in
q moment the gastric secretions will begin
20 flow, and the stomach reacts and is
ready for the food that is to follow An
ways serve soup hot. never lukewarm
sip a small quantity only, and do not ask
for second helping.
Waters In which vegetables are boiled
contain a goodly quantity of fiavoring,
and some mineral matter. except potato
water which is not wholesome. Use them
IN place of plain water for soupmaking.
The water strained from rice is rich in
starch and should not be wasted. While
IL cannot be used for clear stock, IL may
pc added to the ordinary scraps and
bones for vegetable soup. and is far
more delicate as thickening than either
constarch or -four for tomato, cream OF
chicken or oyster soup.
For soup we want the favoring in the
water, hence we use cold water. For
stews or boiled meats we always begin
with boiling water. Simmer but do not
boil soup. Ten minutes rapid boiling will

vegetables are easily driven off in the
steam il they are boiled rapidly or cooked
too long.
There is a variety OF soups as wide as
that of desserts or salads. One may pre-
fer plain soup. while another likes II with
vegetables. The most important part is
the meat stock. A good-siZed piece of rib
meat streaked with lean and fat makes
rich soup Cook the meat and then set
the liquid aside for a day to cool, then
skim off the grease. When you boil q
