For Women Who Entertain

The hostess wore . white crepe figured
In pale green and trimmed with lace and
! green ribbon The young women who as

color scheme was carried out in the re-
freshments. This sylvan decoration ap-
pealed particularly to the city women
who attended the tea.
For a luncheon given IN honor of
summer bride the porch decorations
were of daisies. The young people of
the house had spent a whole day gath
ering the yellow and white flowers from
a nearby meadow and the flowers were
hung on the side Of the porch facing the
street. close enough together to form
screen. yet far enough apart to admit
the air. In the center of the porch roof
were fastened what looked like great
buttons, and from these centers were
swung garlands which were caught again
at the posts
daisies. and the luncheon table of pol
ished oak had heart-shaped centerpiece
Of daisies, while at each corner of the
table was fastened large spray of the
daisies caught with white ribbon.
The souvenirs were boxes to hold but
tons. rings. etc. They were made of stiff
water color paper. and on the top of each
For an evening party on the porch
there is nothing prettier or more appro-
pirate than Japanese decorations. Shops
are offering garlands terribly and won
derfully cut in the gayest of japanese
colorings, and one-half dozen Eardands
at 10 cents each will make a pretty can
opy for overhead. or they can be fes-
tooned between the porch pillars.
Another overhead device shows a large
Japanese umbrella, from each rib OF
which is hung small paper lantern.
while the handle Is cut of close to the
junction with the ribs and n large Ian
tern is strung from that point.
To go with the japanese decorations
are paper favors, including a fan, which
when open turns into a good sized para
sol. much trimmed with feathery paper
ruching.
A pretty dinner recently given had

favors were tiny jardinieres. each Of
which held a Japanese dwarf tree. for
which there is at present such a rage.
The plate cards were tiny japanese fans
with the names written across them.
The porch was strung with lanterns. and
the girls in their light summer dresses
and the men in their white fiannels COM

season green vegetables. and they are
passed untouched by half the persons

The last truth strikes home to more
than one housewife. who, though she
may have tried to convince her family
of the curative properties of spinach
and other cooked green vegetables. still
finds that they prefer the regular diet of
corn, beets, etc, to the succulent varie-
ties served as they usually are in hap
hazard fashion. The new school of cook
cry. however, gives many helpful sug-
gestions with regard to this class of veg

ON DAINTY APRONS.

On dainty aprons 1t Is we'll to sew
beading instead of the regulation bind
ing and strings. This beading should be
about an inch in width. and wash rib
bon should be run through it. This rib
bon serves for strings. and at the same
time lends to the beauty Of the apron.
The ribbon can be slipped out when the
apron Is soiled. It can then be pressed
out. freshened up and replaced when the
apron has returned snow white from a
visit to the tub.

physician who believes that careful diet

summer health.

for a more delicious kind of food. The

r.n. for the system As whole at the

WILL ATTEND MILK
 MEETING IN PUTNAM.
County Agent and Farmers from Here
 Preparing to Go.

County Agent Murray D. Lincoln, with a number of the farmers from this vicinity, have already made ar engagements to go to Putnam on We'd neSday to attend the first milk meet ing held in connection with the Boston chamber of commerce with the farmers of this state.
 The party will leave here on the 9.05 a. m. train out of Norwich and return ing will arrive here at 4.50 p. m. Fur ther particulars will be supplied at the subject that every dairyman in Con- necticut is interested in.
 The first of the purchasing agencies that the county agent intends to in augurate before the coming season is to be carried out. At the request of several of the farmers throughout the county, the county agent is arranging to purchase several carloads of lime for seeding this fall and next spring. If enough farmers are ready to pur- chase this fall the order will be sent in next week; if not. it will be left till next spring. Much inconvenience was found this year in the fact that the lime concerns could not fill their orders and orders at this time will therefore avoid the rush, and since it will not deteriorate the county agent is ad- Vfsing that now is the chance to ge, together and obtain the advantage ot buying in large quantities. No land ir this county that has not been Timed within the last few years will fail tc pay profit on any amount of lime UT to two tons per acre. A large share Of the farmers trouble with his land is in its acidity. The agents office is ready to supply all particulars
