The art Of appliqueing flowers that have
been cut out from silk, velvet or cretonne
and stitched on a background that con-
trasts is another important work that the
milliner should not forget. 1t is easy
and, as the outlining in heavy silk is
the only work to be done after the cut
ting. the time needed is inconsequentiaL
Metallic cloths with a garland OF flowers
done in this way are beautiful on the
hat crowns and brim facings. Try this
method II you wish for an unusual effect.
When you take a brush in hand and
dip II into waterproof colors or oil paints
to which a little distemper has been
added, the possibilities are great The
hand-painted hat of taffeta, satin, silk
velvet or metallic tissue will claim ad-
miration wherever II appears OF course,
1t ~ for afternoon and evening wear.
There can be painted on the crown flow
ers, fruit. bowknots, even birds. Bright
colors can be used and an outlining in
silk can be added II you do not like the
unfinished outlines Of a painted design.
This can be done after the painting has
dried.
AS for the use Of fur. the story grows
interesting, for many little turns can be
made, and the result will be surprising.
The buckle of fur with an edging OF
small roses is an original idea that is
sufficient to trim large velvet hat. Two
butterflies OF fur-edged maline are the
attractive trimming on another black
velvet shape. A pattern can be cut out
and the maline shirred over it Then
the narrow fur, bands can be added, and
then facing Of net The paper is torn
away before the facing is sewn on.
A crown of fringe, a crown OF layers
of feathers and a crown of beaded fringe
that suggests a lampshade are other sug-
gestions that will strike the original
note.
1t is an easy thing to be different from
the hundreds of sisters that are taking
the fashion. Be original.

In the course of every weeks house

To begin with, all rugs must be freed

out perfectly straight on the floor un-
til 1t Is dry. This method Of cleansing
rugs is especially satisfactory when ap-
piled to Oriental rugs.
With the aid OF carpet fringe and
strong linen thread much can be done
by way Of improving the appearance OF
old rugs and pieces Of carpet. This heavy
worsted fringe may be bought In
dark browns and dark greens for about
twenty cents a yard and Is well worth
the price. Often by adding new fringes

and finishing with a new fringe the life

slipped under the spotted piece Of the
rug and a piece OF blotting paper laid
over\the spot on top Of the rug. Then
a hot iron should be passed repeatedly

ably absorb the grease in the carpet
Much can be accomplished by having
old rugs and carpets dyed. This could
not very well be attempted at home as
carpets and rugs are too heavy to man.

fessional dyers handle carpets very sat
isfactorily. however, at a price low
enough to appeal to the thriftiest OF
housewives. Not only can old rugs and
carpets be made to look new and clean
In this way, but the colors may be
brought into better harmony with the
rooms in which they are to be used.

What a joy comes to the heart Of the
bousekeeper when the early frosts pro-
claim that oysters are at their best!
Those of US who live near enough to the
coast to get the luscious bivalves in their
pristine freshness little know how much
for which We have to be thankful.
Not long ago a woman met her brother
at the station after he had spent a year
or two in the back woods Of Michigan.
She planned an elaborate lunch at the
station, as there was not time to take
him to her home.
To her amusement, he waved aside all
the dainties she had selected from her
former knowledge of his tastes, and SAID !:
'If YOU do not mind, my dear, would
like some oysters on the half she'll
Canned oysters are all very well When
YOU can't have fresh, but after two years
OF the potted variety 1 am positiVey
aching for some blue points"
Most Of us would feel the same way
under the same circumstances, and, in
addition to the almost universal liking
for oysters, they satisfy the housewife
because they are cheap and have so many
varieties to remove sameness
Here are some recommended ways OF
preparing oysters which somebody may
like to try:
Oyster CutIets.
Take one-half a pound Of lean veal and
the same quantity of large oysters; chop
both fine and then pound together In
basin or mortar, add one teaspoonful OF
chopped suet, four tablespoonfuls OF nne
breadcrumbs the beaten yolks OF TWO
eggs and a seasoning of salt, pepper ana
powdered rice Mix thoroughly and make
into small outlets, brushing them over
with weIl-beaten- eggs, dip in fine bread
crumbs and fry in enough boiling fat to
cover the outlets. Garnish with parsley
and serve hot
Oysters in Cream.
Put two dozen oysters in a saucepan
and add the strained juice OF one lemon,
two tablespoonfuls of butter, salt and
pepper to taste and bring the whole to
a boil. Now melt two teaspoonfuls OF
butter and add two teaspoonfuls of flour,
one cupful of white stock, teasponful
of mushroom catsup, and, while stirring
all the time, cook for five minutes Four
this sauce over the oysters when ABOUT
to serve, mixing in the yolks OF two eggs
blended with half cupful OF cream.
ChahnE Dish Recipe.
For the chatting dish a delicious recipe
for creamed oysters is as follows:
To a tumbler full Of cream allow two ia
bIespoonfuls Of butter, a good-sized pinch
of salt. pepper and powdered mace, to-
