TODAY'S
HOUSEHOLD
AFFAIRS
Household Pests.

1t is wise at any time to examine walls
and floors thoroughly for insect lie when
moving into a house that has been oc-
cupied but more especially is this neces-
sary in the spring. If the late resident
has harbored cats or dogs 1t is quite
possible the new one may be pestered
with feas, because the eggs OF the IN
sects fall from the anicals into crevlces
in the floor and into the top OF base
boards, where they come to life. only
those who have entered a house so in
tested can realize what a terrible NUS
ance these insects are. They will even
get into upholstered furniture If given
half chance, also into books. to say
nothing of carpets and rugs. They
breed rapidly, too.
If there is the slightest suspicion of
fieas before any furniture is moved IN
baseboards and floors such remedies as
benZine from watering pot, insect
powder and kerosene should be used.
Shoulo the fleas get into the furniture
the ar,lcles must be taken out Of doors
and be thoroughly brushed, then be sat
urAted with benzine or naphtha.
II is almost impossible TO eliminate
croton bugs when living in house with
other families. but they can be kept
down BY mixing sweet chocolate with
powdered boraN and sprnkling shelves
or floor. Another remedy Is Il mixture
of flour, plaster of paris. and sugar
sprinkled about and nearby a saucer OF
cold water. The insects first eat, Their
need to drink, and the water mixing with
plaster kills them
A mixture of kerosene and turpentint
is safe remedy to use to keep bedbugs
down. March and April are the months
when the greatest number of eggs are
laid, hence one should take extra care
then. The bedsteads can be wiped of
with the mixture, and it is imperative
that dust should be kept out of al
cracks and crevices. The bugs love dus
for breeding places. Benzine. gasoline
and naphtha applied are also good RENE
dies. but being infammable are not SAFE

poison.
The warm. damp days so frequent il
spring always bring ants. The only
way to get rid of these insects is t.
destroy their nests. But it is often diff
cult TO locate them A good plan is t
place little mounds OF coarse sugar
around. The ants will each take up
grain and make for their nest with it

FOREIGN FASHIONS

VIENNA. April 24.-Lovely colored
crepe de chine, with stamped, conven-
tiona1 flower designs, are the newest
materials for blouses and all sorts of
charming models are made possible
through their use. At present the
Jouy and Vatican wreaths and flower
clusters are wonderfully pretty and the
range of delicate colorings they may be
had In leaves no room for complaint.
The more conventional patterns. which
are also extremely smart come i'll all
the odd shades and are usually stamped
with single flower. motif. All of the
speciality shops and baZaars over here
show large assortments of these blouses
and there are many really beautiful ones
that could readily be worn for most for
NAL occasions.
Neck and wrist rulings of finest laces.
null and nets do much toward enhancing
the spring blouses. These rulings and
long Semi-ftted sleeves, that are cut i'll
one with the bodice, or set in wide arm
holes. are two features that are espe-
cially well favored just now. One would
rather expect the usual springtime
vival of short sleeves. but they seem
to be eliminated entirely from present
season designs.
1t is strange that the last two or three
reintroductions of long sleeves have oc-

be expected that they would receive the
enthusiastic reception they might de-
serve on account of the discomfort of
them as compared to the half or even
the three-quarter lengths. There is a
distinction and graceful style about the
sleeve to the wrist. however, that is en-
tirely lacking in the shorter and gener
ally more fanciful model.
The sketch shows blouse design that
is fairly typical of prevailing modes. 1t

This draws attention to them. and the
public modifies them after it has ac-
cepted them. We do this with many
things in life: clothes are only one mani
festation of the principle.
Full Frill of Tulle.
1t is astonishing how many new frocks
have the frill of tulle at the neck. They
may have it in color and not in white,
for it is a good axiom of fashion just
now to make this frill out of the ma
terial of the bodice, or to match the ma
terial used in the gown.
For instance, there is blue afternoon
frock worn on the stage and made by
one of those smart couturieres to the
modish Frenchwoman, whose name Is
not written large on the Rue de la PalN
or the Place Vendome. The fabric Is
silk and the shade is known as royal
blue. the new kind of royal that has not
as much purple as it once had.
The skirt is draped short in front and
there are two panniers of uneven length
that flare out over the hips, especially
at the sides. The full bodice has long
sleeves, which reach well out over the
hands and are finished with picot edge,
that same kind of hemstitchfng cut IN
half that was SO popular all last winter
The frill at the neck is voluminous. no
other word will describe it, and it is in
this fact that its difficulty lies for the
average woman. In color it is blue also,
and in fabric it is tuile.
There Is another gown. worn by well
dressed American, in hydrangea blue.
fashionable shade, by the way. which
has a wired. pleated frih. that stands
to the hair in the back, made of tulie
in the same color of blue as the gown
AS for white tulle and net frills-they
ornament every other frock. Every
thing is cut out at the neck in some
fashion usually in a v, and this frill Is
gathered along the edge as matter OF
course.
Remember it when you are in despair
about fresh collar for a blue serge
gown or one of black taffeta.

The Brown Bread.

Bread made from whole wheat -four is
quite an important food for nursing
mothers; indeed, it is generally desirable
for both grown people and children. There
are alkaline phosphates in whole wheat
which contribute to the formation of salts
in the body. These salts are necessary
to life Also it supplies materials Tor
bone and tooth building. Whole wheat
bread is considered somewhat less di-
gestible than white bread, but it con-
tains more true food to given guam
tity.
In purchasing whole wheat flour select
that which is rich dark brown in color,
rather coarse-that is, granulated-and
free from large particles of bran. The
outside husk is indgestible because COM
posed largely of cellulose. Good whole
wheat flour is made from the whole
wheat grain. from which the outside bran
husk has been removed. 1t contains an
the albuminoids and the nutrlt1ve min
eral substances found in wheat -four.
