Food for Invalids
Especially in Summer Should
Care Be Given to
Their Food.
TINE invalid has a trying time in

NHE Invalid mas trying time IN
4 summer, and everything posi-
bic should be done to cheer
and entertain the sufferer. Even the
daily meal should receive thought and
care. as the capricious appetite of
an invalid or convalescent must be
tempted by appetizing and attractive
viands.
First of all, the tray must be dainty,
immaculate, large enough to avoid
crowding and furnished with spotless
linen, light silver and thin china.
Glasses, cups or bowls should never
be filled so full that they spill over in
being carried to the room. Bed tables
or trays of papier-mache, or the wick
er ones are not expensive and are GER
tainly a great comfort to an invalid.
Serve Small Quantities Of Food.
Food in large quantities should not
be brought to an invalid, for a too
generous portion of even a favorite
dish may have tendency to cause a
distaste for it.
The very best of ingredients should
be used in preparing food for persons
who are i'll, as their sense of taste is
very keen at such times. The very
freshest fruits should be used and
served in the most tempting style pos
sible. A whole orange, apple or pear
should never be left for the sick per-
son to prepare.
Prepare Fruits in Simple Manner.
Oranges can be prepared in many
attractive ways, though perhaps just
the chilled, strained juice taken
through a straw or hollow stemmed
glass spoon is the best.
Grapes should be carefully washed,
dried, pitted and we'll cooled; canta-
loupes and melons, ripe and very cold.
The choicest cuts of meat should be
served. Attempting to manage a
tough chop or an overdone bit OF
steak will take away from the interest
of the meal. There are many things
which are far better for the summer
invalid than meat. Jellied or minced
chicken or whitehsh, moulded with
well boiled rice, is especially appetiz-
ing in summer.
In warm weather it is not wise to
attempt too many hot dishes. But II
broths are included in the diet they
should be served piping hot, as luke
warm dishes are most unappetizing
Jellied bouillon is always welcomed
by invalids.
Toast Is Cut Into Small Bits.
Toast should be thin, we'll Drowned
never burnt, and cut in narrow strips
or small squares, as it is more easily
handled in such portions.
For creamed toast the foundation
should be small toasted cubes oil
bread, we'll covered with thickened
cream and served hot in an attractive,
covered bowl or individual tureen.
1t is seldom necessary for butter
to appear upon an invalid tray, as il
is often distasteful. Bread should be
evenly buttered and cut in small slices
beforehand.
The Dessert Is the Climax.
Frequently the delight of the meal
is in the climax, and pretty, dainty
dessert can give much pleasure. A

NEW YORK, June II, 1914.
In these dog-days the market seems
to share their lethargy. The activity
has ebbed down to routine business,
but the sentiment of the market is by
no means depressed. Prospects for q
big fall trade seems to be in every
body's view. With but few exceptions,
all reports from our correspondents, in
the chief trade centers of the country,
express buoyancy in regard to better
trade.
Improved tone in the cigar industry
just now, at the opening of the month
which will close the second semester OF
1914, is largely responsible for the
slightly quickened pace which is evi-
dent everywhere. A number of cigar
manufacturers have added men pre-
paratory to resumption of at least
their normal working schedules. 1t is
a considerable cry to the bumper per
iod signalized by the approach Of the
holidays, but these are the dog-days
and they must needs be gone through
before better business dates are ar
rived at.-Journal.

Not baked by frequent hard show
ers, shortage of plants, nor the de-
structive work of cut worms, farmers
have made fair progress in their to-
bacco fields, and large acreages have
been transplanted from beds to the

much complaint that plants have come
slowly this season, causing scarcity
for early setting. Many have been
obliged to buy plants from neighbors,

In the past week q movement has
been under way that has resulted in
the absorption by two large packing
houses and several manufacturers of
almost the entire available supply of
old and new Gebhardt. Over 1900
cases were picked up while this move
ment lasted. The operation, while not
conducted under cover, was not adver-
tised, and this announcement will
doubtless be surprise to many people
in the trade. The vitalizing motive
back of the sudden activity is the gen
uing belief on the part of the firms in
question that business is going to be
good this fall, and that there will be, a
scarcity Of good filler tobaccos. One
prominent leaf merchant predicts that
this fall will witness the most exciting
cigar leaf market the country has ever
seen. not excluding 1906. The predic-
ton is also made that Pennsylvania
will share in the activity in degree
not surpassed by any of lhe other filler
states. Leaf.

Clearing weather prevails again this
week and growers have been able to
make some progress in completing the
transplanting of the tobacco crop which
is likely to be very generally standing
in the fields by July 4th. There is
scarcely a grower but is throwing away
and plowing up more plants than was
required to set his fields. Probably the
early set fields never looked more
promising at this time of year, for
there is almost complete stand of
live, we'll rooted plants all ready to re-
spond quickly to cultivation and suit
able weather conditions. The chief
concern of the growers is that the har-
vest will come upon them while the
rush of small grain harvest and other
work also needs attention.
Some work of examining, condensing
and rehandling of packings is under
way which develops that there will be
some damage to contend with though
it is believed will not be extensive.
The local market offers no news of
Importance in cured leaf, trade being
confined to small lots on manufactur
ers' orders.
Another heavy storm swept the
northern tobacco growing sections dur
ing the week, wrecking good many
sheds in the Vernon and Trempealeau
districts and farther north.
The shipments out of storage do not
exceed 200 cases from this market to
all points since last report.

The Connecticut valley tobacco crop
has seldom promised as well at this
season as at present. The Tobacco
Leaf correspondent has viewed hun
dreds of acres of newly-set plants in a
dozen towns or more within few days
and without exception the new crop
has gained a notable start. The plants,
though still small, have fine stand
and are of the rich, dark green which
betokens sturdy roots. Cut worms
have been numerous and active and
much resetting has been necessary in
consequence, but plants are abundant
and the damage has not been serious.
Most of the large growers have fin
ished transplanting and the crop will be
practically set out this week. So rapid
has been the progress of the young
plants that the New England acreage
as whole is not more than week or
ten days backward from the stand
point Of normal growth for this season.

While the Wisconsin tobacco growers
have been considerably handicapped in
getting the crop into the field by an
overabundance of rain, the South, es-
pecially Virginia and the Carolinas,
find the crop very greatly curtailed by
the drought which has affected the en-
tire belt. The prolonged dry weather
has burned and withered the plants in
the beds so that growers think they
will be fortunate if they mature 90 or
SO per cent of an average crop. A few
farms have abandoned the crop alto

Bridal Gown @ Egyptian Cre0e and Lace

F@YYHOF'T supple satins, chiffon cloth,
nR&H and exquisite wcavCs of silken
E2EJA crepe de Chine are featured for
I'D Spring and early Summer we'd
G0 ding gowns. They not only ac-
cord with the general trend of fashion
toward draped and clinging robes, but are
when made more youthful and becoming
than the stiff bridalcostume of heavy satin.
The stately train appears in the new mod
els, though it hangs out from the shoulder,
often, and also from the scant and narrow
skirt beneath it.
Egyptian crepe, which has a soft sheen,
and play of light on its lengthwise crinkles
is the fabric of the wedding gown above
(S277). From it is formed a two-piece
draped overskirt, gracefully caught at the
side, over a soft satin foundation skirt,
yelled with chiffon. The side panel effect
is carried on to the shoulder of the bodice,
in which there are sleeves of lace, with
circularrufes just below the elbow. Dainty
frills of white tulle, finishing the ruflles,
match the delicate tulle veil, which you
will notice has a new draping in cap effect.
Pearl beads are a rich edging for the arm
holes.
This model obviously may be reproduced
or mOQltleQ WIN ease anu uldue as COSIIy
or as inexpensive rs the buyer elects. If
there are heirlooms of real lace available,
and such is the good fortune for many a
bride of to-day, they would beautify the
neck, and the sleeve ends. Silk tule is
also one of the modish competitors Of chif-
fon, and might be substituted for the side
panels of this dress.
The influence of Poiret's straight long
wasted dresses, with deep sash girdle,
combined with his much exploited tunic,
makes a distinctive feature in the outline
of the dainty bridesmaids gown of girlish
simplicity (S293). The material is flow
cred chiffon taffeta, new weave and de
sign on which soft blues, pink, green and
lavender tints are mingled in shadowy
flowers. The contrasted tunic rufile is of
coral pink chiffon, having pearl beads on
the edge. This girlish frock can be made
from pattern No 1898, designed for misses
from IA to IS years. Silk crepes with
printed floral designs are much approved
for function frocks, as you will notice in
the charming model in the upper right cor
ner (S24S) suitable for the maid of honor,
at Spring wedding. Two gathered rufiles
of the material and bordered with lace
frills are joined TO the kimono blouse, with
narrow bands of cyclamen pink velvet
The price Of each dress pattern is 10 CENTS.

EN1HAT it will cost to dress a bride and
ggM@ her attendants for the proper sort OF
Tss fashionable wedding to-day is a ques-
GzSS9 ton with the same answer as always
depending of course on the sum which can
be allowed. Nothing, in the eyes of French
modistes, is ever too extravagant for their sus-
ceptible clientele, much less for the wedding
day. and the garments from across the sea bear
out this conviction, in exquisite conceits and
combination of satins, crepes, laces and nets.
The wedding gown itself continues to be a
more or less stately garment, with perhaps an
Empire or Vatican train; or it may be very
up-to-date modification of period dress in
spired by historic portrait.
The picturesque frock is attracting a great
deal of notice for the brides attendants partly
because those who plan and carry out the de-
tails of formal wedding study the effect of
the wedding party as unit in the setting of
flowers, the church background, or the home
drawing-room. Another reason for this gowns
popularity is the production of lowered silks
and satins gold and silver laces, and telling ac-
cessories, which rightly combined, afford effects
altogether different and more artistic than

of the past. 81
Here is shown a group of the latest
models of one among many types of
French outfits for bride, bridesmaid,
and her maid and matron of honor.
Diaphanous laces and nets, with
bodice or bolero of silk form favorite
combination for such occasions. The
prevailing vogue of TERED skirts is
emphasized in the gown of spider web shadow
lace (8150). 1t has the extremely narrow foot,
and breadth through the hips, with slightly
raised waistline. A quaint bodice is fashioned
from peach color and yellow changeable taffeta,
with a box-plaited ruching on the outer edge /;
and narrow lace next the front opening While
this model could cost fabulous amount, if
developed in Duchesse or point lace; it can be
simpliied in cost; and as for the making, there
is nothing which the amateur cannot repro
duce, with the pattern given. Batiste en-
broidery founcing could be used for the same
model.
