INTENDED for hard usage in camps

trasting colors. which include green,

for summer use. Colored linen is also
used for table covers. which are per-

inexpensive cushions made particu-
larly for use outdoors or on the piazza,

A novel pillow cover. stamped in a

A very handsome centerpiece, yet not
difficult of accomplishment, Is IN butter

All Bodices Are Sleeveless.

When the first sleeveless bodices We're
brought into fashion last February It was
a question as to whether not women
would wear them. Women do wear them
They wear little else Sleeves are almost
unknown in the evening, even in theater
and restaurant gowns but there is
marked change for the better in the high
line of the material under the arm which
runs well up to the arms eye.
The influence of orientalism last winter
and even through the first part of the
summer gave us that naked eNpanse
under the arm which is not pretty and
could never be made artistic off the
stage in an oriental play
The 1870 bodice is cut under the arm.
has very long waist line and a strap
over the shoulder. which is cut in one
with the bodice itself. That is. it is not
an applied strap, aud the armhole is
outlined in the regular way. The bodice
does not 20 in straight line across the
icure under the arms. but is shaped i'll
and ont to the mold of the figure.
There is very little of il. With the
single exception of not showing the skin
beneath the arms il is not more modest
than the bodices We have Worn for two
wears. II has an extreme decolletage i'll
the back. and as q N-shape in front is
always difficult line to manage, the
average woman has the appearance of
being very little dressed above the waist.
There is slight lining to any bodice.
hit of silk above the waist serves quite
well. The rest is tulle 1t would take
prodigy in mathematics to calculate the
amount of tulle silk net that has been
expended in women's clothes this sum
mer.
When the idea first came out every one
said II was too eXtravagant to last. but
evidently women have found the money
with which to indulge in this caprice. for
there are countless gowns of the fabric.
While one was counting up the Yards
Of tulle used in gowns il might be inter
esting TO try 10 number the roses. So
many have been sold that they are of
fcred the sidewalks al r.asona hle
prices in front of the large shops. This
does not keep women from wearing them.
They are festooned over frocks as in the
days Of 1870: they outline the decoiletage
Of the hodices: they hang in streamers
from the girdles: they catch up the
draperies on the skirt.
They are not used hats as much as
on gowns. although one sees wonderful
blossoms in shaded reds placed on fiat
empire hats of glstening black chiffon
that are worn with black tulle gowns

lycnnaised, scalloped or worked over in
numberless other toothsome ways. which
take less than half the time it would re-
uuire to peel and boil them. Biscuits, as
every woman ought to know, can be
warmed to simulate fresh-baked by
damping slightly and covering closely for
a few minutes in the oven. There are
many dinner dishes which may be bak-
ed in the morning and heated for dlnner.
Veal loaf, roast beef, roast pork. boiled
tongue, boiled ham, boiled corn beef
and dried beef will all make the matter
of getting dinner in summer easy. Swiss
cheese. cottage cheese, salmon and
sardines help, too. All the new vege-
tables help to make palatable meal
without cooking in the heated hours Of
the day by making salads in early morn
ing. Fresh fruits require very little work
and bakery goods of fine quality can be
bought as cheap as you can make them
at home.
The following suggestions for simpli-
flying meals will help you to think out
other good simple menus: Breakfast
Fruit, coffee, one of the ready-to-eat
cereals and eggs. Lunch: This may con-
sist of bread and milk, or crackers and
milk, with cheese and berries. Dinner:
Cold meat, a vegetable salad and
nourishing milk and egg dessert
Making a wise menu does not produce
a meal of course, but 1t is the first step
in the process. The next is to buy the
food which is required by the menu.
One of the best reasons for gong to
market is that there is so much to be
learned there. 1t takes the housewife
out-of doors more often than she might
otherwise go, and it helps IN making
varied menus, as one sees things winch
would never have been thought of at
home. In what quantity II is wise to
buy depends upon the size Of the house,
hold, the place where these articles may
be kept, the distance from the place
where the supply can be renewed, the
income of the family and whether the
housewife or a servant dispenses them
for use.

A NEW possession for any smoker
~ of cigarettes is a small and effi-
cient cigarette-making machine. IL
takes the form of a small nickel nox
with hinged cover and screw In one
end When you open the box you see a
depression just the size Of a cigarette,
running the length of the box. Into this
YOU press some tobacco. Then you close
the cover and turn the screw a few times
until the tobacco is pressed into a COM
pact little roll. You open the cover and
insert over the tobacco roll the edge of
cigarette paper. Close the box again
and turn the screw until all the cigarette
paper has disappeared within the box
and the cigarette, after the customary
moistening to keep the paper fiat is fin
ished.
There are many women who like to
work in their gardens, and their wants
are well met in the shops. There is the
gardening outfit, consisting of a gingham
parasol and sun bonnet to match. There
is the gardening basket in many guises,
containing shears and trowel. weeder
cord and other gardening implements
And now there is a pair of hedge shears
of light weight, designed especially for
womans use.
There is small patent leather case
which measures seven by four inches
1t contains comfort for any traveller
Opened. it reveals a folded slk-covered
rubber cushion which can be inflated with
air without difficulty. 1t makes travel
ing. whether you be sitting in steamer
chair or on the cushioned seat of a motor
or railroad car, twice as comfortable as
travelling without it.
There is new percolator on the mar
ket and it is unlike the old sort. 1t is
made entirely of glass. 1t holds four cup-
fuls of breakfast size. There is a small
glass which holds the water. The ad-
vantage of this percolator is said to be
the absence of metal which, according
to some coffee enthusiasts. might give
an unpleasant taste sometimes to the cof-
fee cooked in it.
Simply because the woman of today
desires not a comfortable stool on which
to rest her feet. Modern footgear de-
mands the foot stool, too, on which its
daintiness may be displayed. The wicker
foot stool is a sensible choice for sum-
mer.

Fashions for Children.

MANY of the children's dresses are
AvA made in MILDLY style, laced up the
front and finished with sailor collar.
Others are in Norfolk style. and still
others in bolero effect. The Russian
dress and Oliver Twist dress are in high
favor. In two-piece dresses the waist is
usually of one fabric and the skirt OF
another. Plaids. checks and stripes oom-
bined with plain fabrics are well liked.
Besides serges gabardines, checks. stripes
and novelty worsteds. wash fabrics. such
as ginghams, percales, chambrays iinens.
crepes and other heavy cottons are used.
The long -waisted effects prevail. with
the skirts In pleated, shirred, or TERED
style Dresses having front panels. with
sashes starting from the sides, are pretty
and new Party frocks are of fine or
CANDY. batiste. net and lace.
Formerly all that was necessary in re-
gard to childs coat was that II should
be made OF a good wearing material and
to date in style. Coat styles for women
and children are closely related. This
season, for instance, the cape effect, so
popular in women's garments, is equally
popular for children.
Cape coats of all sorts are seen, rang
ing from the short shoulder cape to the
garment that falls over the sleeve. Some
coats have capes that button on. 10 that
they can be removed if desired The
loose back coat is another style. Even
collars in imitation of grown-up
styles and modified flares, rnilitary col
lars. hood effects and shawl collars are
prominent Sleeves are of various kinds.
including the modified kimono and the
sleeve set ON at the slightly dropped
armhole The fabrics are similar to those
used by women Trimmings of plain and
striped velvets are for cloth coats, as wen
as furs and imitation furs. Fancy but
tons and braids play a prominent part in
the trimming of childrenS coats.

il is utterly impossible The yards and
Yards of material used make her apparel
three times her normal size and this
is a thought that poisons the brain these
days.
Among the novelties introduced here
is cape and waistcoat combined. ] saw
a immensely sood-looking one the other
day at the coiffeurs. where one sees all
the best looking clothes in Paris II one
manages to strike there at the right
time.
There was a long waistcoat OF white
corduroy that reached almost to the
knee, showing a muslin shirt waist with
a high rolling collar and attached to this
at the shoulders. and swinging well away
from it. was a pleated cape of black and
white striped worsted. II was lined with
white satin and finished with a collar
of black velvet that did not come any
where near the neck.
To sum up the situation so far In Paris
II is rufiied skirts. slim bodices. high
collars on street gowns. deep V-shaped
decolete on evening gowns, extrava-
gantly long coats, circular hip yokes on
skirts, narrow hems and the most fan
cifui shoes that women have ever dared
to put on.

and fabrics from Rome to Copenhagen.
So much material is used in the coat
that one would think. logically. that the
price would mount much higher than the
price asked for the short coat OF the
spring. but a tailor Is not logical. there
fore the price remains the same, although
there is exactly four times the amount
of material used in this coat as in that
one.

sleeves and side pleats that start at the
bust line and continue almost to the
shoe tops. where the coat ends. There
Is a wide belt well below the normal
waistline. and a skirt with a hip yoke
from which hang wide pleats that are
drawn into narrower dimensions at the
footline
Such is the suit one sees everywhere
in Paris. If it is in dark blue. there is
often a white waistcoat with high
standing collar. and the broad belt is
trimmed with round silver buttons.
If it is in white serge the belt is often
of corduroy as well as the waistcoat,
and the buttons are huge pearl ones that
have colored lights in them.
This suit is quite becoming to the

HINTS TO THOSE WHO
CAN BUY FURS NOW

A UGUST Is the month of special
prices on furs, and 1t would be
wise to buy now il possible, when
prices are lower and there Is a wider
range of styles to choose from. There
is a greater change in the cut and
style of furs than there has been for
several years.
Furs will be much worn, both as gar
ments and as trimmings. The novelty
scarfs and muffs worn at present. made
Of chiffon, with little fur matching
the chiffon in brilliant shade OF
tango, copenhagen, rose, wistaria,
spring green. china blue, maize. etc.
are not designed for warmth, but for
beauty.
Panel shaped. fiat. square. round at
the lower edge and straight at the top.
describes the new muffs. Puffs of
satin appear at the openings and ef-
fective combinations OF furs are much
used.
Small neckpieces include tailored ties,
snappy collars with cross-over ends,
narrow stoles, etc. Among the larger
neckpieces are small shoulder capes
and collarettes. which have Il tenden
to ripple across the shoulders. Broad
stoles. which reach well to the knees,
are smart particularly those which
are shaped at the end and trimmed
with contrasting fur in fancy forms.
Black and white is a fashionable COM
Fur coats or wraps are from twenty
eight to forty-five inches in length.
The cape idea is SO cleverly used that
the sleeves are almost concealed. The
cape suggestion on a coat Is also given
by the deep folds of fur which fall
around the figure. Other fur coats
are made with set-in sleeves and in
cutaway outline. Contrasting furs are
used for trimming stand-up collars
and wide turnback cuffs
Less expensive furs are made up from
mole. leopard, tiger. pony, caracal and
broadtail limitations. These are often
trimmed with more expensive fur.
Light trimmings will be used on dark
fur, and vice versa.

Ike an earthquake. and made realistic
those terrifying pictures in biographies OF
great chasms yawning in the earth Win
men and beasts failing in, labeled earth
duakes, has still left its mark.
Taxicab drivet are earning bountifui
fees because they make the excuse that
the taxi must go round and round to get
out of the way of the barricades and
dangerous sections. There is no use IN
arguing with a French cocher when he
asks YOU whether you would rather be
killed or pay 80 centimes extra, for no
matter how good or bad your French Is,
with such reasoning as this he has the
best of the argument.
So. as in the days of 1870, when Paris
had her enemies within and without and
every street was barricaded with wood
and stone, and society danced in rufties
and roses. il is now.
There are far more ruff1es and roses

To Preserve a Color.

WHEN washing pink ginghams and
w other pink cotton materials rinse
in cold water in which you have put
little red ink. Use the ink exactly
as you would bluing. The pink cloth
will be as pink as when new, and
never get that faded look.
