Making Soap.

While the custom of making house
Hold soap has become almost lost craft,
there are still persons who make their
own toilet soaps. 1t is by no means a
difficult or unpleasant occupation.
Any hard white soap, such as CASTLE
or curd. can be used as a foundation for
toilet soaps. Once a woman finds the in
gradients that agree with her skin she
can use them regularly in making soap
that will preserve and beautify her COM
pleXion.
For instance. glycerin is excellent for
some skins, but gives a burning sensation
to others. Honey soap is generally good.
and to make it white soap is shaved and
melted in double boiler-say, one pound,
by way of experiment. To this is added
two ounces each of palm oil and honey
and half an ounce of any preferred es-
sential oil for perfuming. This should
boil all together for ten minutes. then be
set away to cool. When half cold beat In
the white of an egg. Pour into molds,
and when the soap is hard it is ready for
use.
A pure borax soap is very handy around
a house as we'll as in the bath. 1t can
be used when a common household soap
might be thought too strong. as for wip-
ing spots from paint of delicate color or
for washing fine china or glassware. II

will also make with warm water a splen-
did suds for washing fannels and wash
able silks
| Three ounces of borax are dissolved In
| two quarts of boiling water and stirred
into two pounds of any hard white soap
shaved fine. This is put over the fire and
| simmered until the ingredients jellify.
| Then 1t can be poured into pan, and
when cold is ready for use.
Oatmeal soap will keep the hands in
good condition and heal rough and chafed
skin. To make it cut up a pound of cas-
tile soap and melt with a gentle heat,
adding just enough water to keep it from
burning. Stir continuously while 1t melts.
Put into bowl. and when nearly cold
mix in a teacup of oatmeal. Beat thor
oughly and put away to harden. =
Iodine soap is sometimes difficult to
find. as all drug stores do not handle it.
To make it a pound of CASTLE soap is
dissolved in three ounces Of rose water
and one ounce of iodine of potassium
Put all in a double boiler and melt Mix
by thorough stirring. This soa:, is said
to be good for reducing flesh, also for
minor skin diseases. Sulphur soap is alos
good for all affections of the skin. This
Is very much like the iodine soap, except
that one-quarter ounce Of flour Of sui
phur Is used instead Of the iodine. Any
preferred perfume may be used.
Making soaps at home means not only
a saving of money. but one can always be
sure the article is absolutely pure

The feeding of very little children is
alwavs harassing problem to the
young mother in summertime. Some
vegetables are very good for little
folk: others are distinctly dangerous
in warm weather when digestive ques-
tions must be considered with especial
care. All children should be trained to
eat vegetables from the very begin
ming. for unless the taste has been
formed in early years the average child
and young person in the teens will
pass over all the vegetables offered
at dinner. with the exception perhaps
of ~otato. eating in consequence a
good deal more meat than is necessary
or desirable.
Even as young as two years old the
child can safely be given small por-
tions Of most vegetables that are thor
oughly cooked and not too highly sea-
Soned. But the vegetables must be very
well cooked and soft enough to be
mashed soft with fork a good plan
is TO force the mashed vegetable

Style Tips About Town.

Slips Of pale-colored silk, for wear be-
meath sheer white frocks, may be had
and such slips add great variety to a
limited summer wardrobe. The prettiest
OF these slips are of pale pink. blue or
yellow daphne silk. the bodice portion be-
ing merely a low-cut brassiere with rib
bon straps over the shoulders and a slim
skirt finished at the foot with a hem
or shallow pleated ruff1e. Some young
women noted recently at fashionable sum-
low daphne silk brassieres under white
frocks, broad sash Of ribbon matching
the brassiere. while the skirt, unlined
| with color, showed pure white. The
charming.
The brassiere having ribbon straps
over the shoulders will be much more
comfortable if snap fasteners are used
! at the upper front edges for the adjust
| ment of the shoulder straps It is not al
ways possible to fasten such a garment
at the waist in exactly the same way
every time it is worn. and couple of
snap buttons for the readjustment of the
shoulder strap when necessary will add
much to the wearers comfort.
The new buttoned boot with a white
buckskin top and tan calf toe is very
smart with boardwalk costumes in semi
| tailored style. but 1t is not correct with
white lingerie frock or a white linen
morning frock. which requires all white
buttoned boots or white pumps. Most
young women are wearing in the MORN
ings this summer the buckskin shoe with
a very low rubber heel-a shoe which may
be worn on yacht deck and tennis court
as we'll as for strolling about on lawns
or piazza. But with afternoon costumes
the high-heeled buttoned boot or pump is
| demanded.
| The ideal travelling gown is of mohair.
which has the virtue Of coolness and a
capacity for shedding dust easily ana of
emerging fresh and uncrumpled from the
small trunk An excellent frock of this
sort noted on a ira in recently was of
mole-colored crepe mohair. with long
tunic and a wide-armholed bodice over a
| long-sleeved guimpe of mole-colored In
destructible voile. A black hat, mole-col-
ofed taffeta parasol and buttoned boots
with tops to match the frock completed a
smart and practical costume.

Keeping Fish.

The very best way to Keep fish in
camp (or anywhere without ice) is to
scale. clean and behead them; then string
them by a cord through their tails and
hang them, head downward. in a dry,
breezy, shady place. No fish should be
eaten that have been lying in the sun
or that have begun to soften. 1t is in
neglected fish that ptomaine poison
forms.
Do not put fish on a string to keep in
water until you start home 1t Is slow and
painful death to them. II you have
neither live-boX nor net with you. kill
and bleed every fish as soon as caught.
The flesh will be much firmer and far
more palatable. Fish and meat should be
hung high in the open. for it is curious
fact that blow-nies work close to the
ground and seldom bother food hung
over ten feet from the ground, while It
is claimed that game or fish suspended
at a height of twenty feet will be i'm
mune from blow-flies.

PARIS, July 1S.-There have been as
many innovations in neckwear as in
sleeves and skirts during the last year.
Mime. Paquin started the fashion for
the high-standing collar when she at
tached one of lace to the gown she wore
at her opening day a year ago. The
fashion has way of following Nine.
Papuin's personal clothes and so fash
ion took up the square-boned collar Of
lace that framed the face and left the
neck bare.
At first it was difficult to wear because
it did not flare sufficiently at the back
to keep clear of the hair. but that de-
feet was soon reTedied and its followers
in muslin were worn by the thousands.
1t has been many years since any piece
of neckwear has been as popular as
this high muslin collar with its hem
stitched edge.
But exclusive fashion became bit
weary of the thousands of muslin affairs
and demanded something new. Callot
fed this desire in February with a thick
ruche of colored tulle which was put
into the partly low neckband and stood
well away from the head, far out over
the shoulders

The newest version of it is extremely
difficult to wear. but very smart. If it
had a name. it would be called the Bern
hardt ruche because it is exactly like
the ruche the actress has exploited
through several decades of her life. 1t
needs her slender face above it. but
I fear many women will not take that
into consideration.
The ruche is between three and six
inches high and often hides the chin. It
is put into straight neck band and.
therefore, has no dip in the front. 1t is
| made of closely .pleated net OF lace or
organdie. When it was fashioned before
it was made of material called crepe

1t was of white net embroidered and

green velvet with a pleated heading out
lining either edge. A very simple border
design was embroidered on the two
tunic flounces and across the lower part
of the blouse and sleeves.
The blouse fronts were surpliced and
the neck finished with a plain net ruche.
The elbow-length kimono sleeves were
finished with a similar ruche and oddly
caught up with wisp of moss green vel
vet over the elbow. The modish Paris
ian no longer wears her corsage flower
in her girdle. and so we find it as here
shown, fastened at one side of the neck.
Plain net was used for the skirt foun-
dation, with its three ruffies over the
foot. The two tunic fiounces were some
fifteen inches deep.

WHAT GIRLS MAY DO.
Home Town Chances Teach Nature
Glass.
By JESSIE ROBERTS.

By JESSIE ROBERTS.
Speaking once more Of the opportuni-
ties to make money in your home town
or village, I have just heard Of one girl
who made a nice sum last summer by
teaching outdoor nature classes
She had always been fond Of birds and
flowers and trees. and knew their names
and habits. Then she went to work in a
city. but her health broke down, and she
was forced to come home. Looking for
some chance near at hand to earn money
she bethought herself Of her old love.
She brushed up thoroughly. laid in a
stock Of nature books. and then set out
to gather a class. OF course, she knew
many people in town, and before each
Of these. mostly young people or mar
ried women with leisure, she laid an at
tractive program. She also advertised
in her town paper and in one published
in the nearby village.
Presently she had as large a class as
she chose to handle. Her plan was to
hold outdoor meetings in some designat-
ed spot in the country. Now it was by
a pond or brook. where aquatic plants
and trees and shrubs that love to grow
close to the waters edge could be
studied. Then a rendezvous in meadow.
IN the WOODS, among tne nlllS. 1uere
were bird days and flower days. and
also on clear nights, star gazing. There
were special studies Of the more impor-
tant birds and plants. At the end of
each observation period there was a
series Of questions. some by the teacher.
others by the pupils.
The course was a big success. Not only
did it bring in tidy sum to the teacher,
but 1t started an interest in outdoor
things among her townfolk that they
wouldn't lose for anything. This season
she is going to add insects to her timer
ary, particularly garden pests. with
methods of getting rid of them.

for this purpose.

the nine innings, looking good all the
way Not a hit was made off him
Until the seventh inning and it was
Tommy Longs error that contributed
TO one Of .he tvo runs made by the
Tigers, while their other tally made
in the sixth, sprouted from another
error and was made without d hit.

nexed two hits apiece for the Crack
ers. Harry securing triple and
