The very latest idea n lamps for living
room and boudoir is the basket lamp in
which are cunningly hidden electric
light bulbs which send soft diffused
glow through the silk-lined basket.
Across the top Of the basket is fast
ened a strip of the silk-most often IN
rose color-and to this are sewed small
roses or other flowers. The basket Of
flowers-for such 1t looks to be-is won
derfully effective when lighted from
within.
Charming boudoir lamps are made OF
white wicker baskets lined with lavender
silk and covered with silk upon which
violets are sewed. Living room lamps
are usually of gilded metal or silded

THE SMALL TABLES TOP.

Have you a favorite small table whose
top is hopelessly marred? II so, don't
relegate it to the attic, but try to cover
Its top neatly with some sort of circum-
stantial material that is in the house.
Look about and see If there isn't some
thing which will answer perfectly. Near
ly always precisely such'a a scrap can be
found. Figured damask fitted smoothly
over the top of a table and secured to
1t with short. slender tacks concealed
under a narrow tinsel gimp makes a
pretty cover and SO do any of the
printed cretonnes edged with cotton
gimp. Some people use the attractive
square pillow-tops II the tables surface
Is not too large for them to cover and
others use hand-embroidered canvases.
If one does not mind the expense of
having a sheet Of glass cut to the re-
quired dimensions an old print may be
used under the protecting transparency.
A wide strip Of gimp pasted partly over
the edges Of the glass and partly over
the edges OF the table will firmly hold
the double covering in position.

THE WORKBAG.

A useful gift for man Is pretty
cretonne laundry bag with washable
inside bag that the laundry can be sent
away in. Make the outside bag Of figured
cretonne and about yard long and
three-quarters wide.
The inside one make an eighth of a
yard smaller and with tight draw
string. Slip this inside the cretonne bag
and fasten with two buttons ana but
tonholes.
1t is a good plan to have two inner
bags SO that when one Is sent with the
soiled linen a fresh one may be slipped
in its place and be ready to be filled. A
man who has his own laundry to look
out for will appreciate this little gift.

GOOD VEGETABLE
SALADS TO TRY

Salads Of various kinds form a cool
and welcome addition to the summer
menu be il for the luncheon. dinner or
supper. and the beauty of il is that
salads need not be expensive and give
an excellent excuse for disposing of left
overs.
Rect Salad.
Beet salad is delicious on a hot day.
Line the salad bowl with crisp lettuc.
leaves and in the center put alternate
thin layers Of cold boiled beets, slIcea,
and rings Of hard boiled eggs Have
more beets than eggs and sprinkle the
top with a little parsley and onion
chopped fine. Add French dressing and
a wholesome tempting dish is the re-
suit
Vegetable salad.
Try chopping up such left over vege-
tables as beets, caulifiower string
beans. potatoes. and celery and a little
onion into small dice Add to this some
cold boiled peas and asparagus tops and
serve on lettuce leaves with French
dressing Do not use vegetables for
salad which have been prepared with
cream SAUCE, or they will turn with the
vinegar.
Potato Salad.
New potatoes. which have been boiled
IN tner jackets. are best for potart,
salad. Cut these into round thin slices
or into dice and salt. then mix with
hrm mayonnaise dressing. Serve on
lettuce leaves and decorate with spriRs
of parsley.
II You do not wish to use the mayon-
naise, season the potato dice with salt
and pepper and allow half a teaspoonfui
OF onion juice to each two cups of
potatoes; also one tablespoonful of finely
minced capers. two tablespoonfuls OF
melted butter. and one Tablespoonful
Of lemon juice Mix together, taking
care not to break the potatoes. then
chill until ready to serve with a cooked
salad dressing. Place on lettuce leave,
and garnish with rings of hard boiled
eggs
a cooked salad dressing suitable for
potato salad is as follows: Stir thre,
tabisspoonfuls Of boiling vinegar into
the yolks OF three eggs well beaten.
Stir constantly while cooking over hot
water until thickened. then mix to-
gether and add TO the eggs one and .
half tesspOcnfuls OF mustard. one tea
spoonful Of sugar and one-half a tea
spoonful of salt. Now beat in two tsb,a-
spoonfuls of butter and put in a COO,
place until ready to serve when a,
equal amount of sweet or sour cream on
unsweetened condensed milk should bs
mixed in. If the milk or cream is nos
added. the foundation of eggs and other
