hoard is sexless and simply a racial trait
Of the genus man.
Sometimes for historical purposes it is
good thing to refrain from throwing
things away, for where would the recent

one hadn't saved the atrocities which

But as a general proposition twice

the home factory, as well as every other
place of business and that which cannot
be used now or show possibility of being
used should be thrown in the discard
Some people hate to throw away medi-

designation they have evolved. writing
on each bottle and box for whom it was
intended and what ailment it cured. "An-

Summer MusIins.

There is no doubt that pale blue is to
be revived this summer. We find it in the
new muslins and in all the cotton mate
rails in striped, Powered and plain that
are being shown at the big emporiuns.
We see it also in the floral designs upon
white taffeta, and are prepared to meet
it in scarfs and wells and sunshades.
One dress is in a combination Of blue
and white that is particularly young and
fresh looking. The skirt is made with a
darker foundation. narrower at the feet
than at the hips, and the jacket arrange
ment is fulled at the waist and below it.
Plain blue taffeta trims the sleeves and

This does away with the trouble and lit
ter Of cutting lemons several times dur
ing the day, especially where there are
little folks. who are always thirsty
A fresh supply should be made each
day, In the morning when it is cool.
Berries should never be hulled until
just before the meal; otherwise they
lose much Of their freshness and taste.
Cheese should never be kept In the ice
chest. as its strong odor permeates the
other articles of food. Keep 1t in a
closed dish on the sideboard. wrapped in
damp napkin: otherwise 1t becomes
dry and oily.
Never keep pastry in the ice box, as
1t soon becomes soggy.
Have a small separate dish for each
article Of food. A little dish will gen
orally answer the same purpose as the
plate, and takes up less room.

towel is tightly packed. Vegetables or
fruit for salad may be chilled quickly II
placed upon sheet Of waxed paper and
wash the top Of the milk bottle well before
opening it each time, as the milk which
collects around the rim is liable to be
sour, and will faint the fresh milk In
the bottle unless removed.
Milk will keep fresh longer in . stone
jar that has been chilled than 1t will in
a bottle. The jar must be closed at the
top with a pasteboard tip which fits
closely.
Butter should always be kept in a stone
jar, with the lid on tight. otherwise 1t is
liable to absorb doors of other foods
kept in the chest.
All boiled water, when bottled to cool,
must be tightly corked, as boiled water
absorbs impurities more quickly than
raw water If left uncovered.
All acid drinks, such as lemonade or
fruit punch, should never be mixed or
served in metal pitcher. Use glass
or china one.
All foods that must be kept moist, such
as cold meat, or chicken, sliced egg. or
the like, should be rolled. or folded in q
clean dampened napkin. This will keep
them from drying out at the edges.
Lemonade, or any acid drink should

special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. June 11.-After a woman
chooses suit of lightweight serge for
travelling by train and boat in Europe,
she is deeply concerned on account of
the topcoat which is a necessary
adjunct
While the Neapolitan cape is ultra
fashionable and easy to carry and pack,
it leaves much to be desired in the way
of warmth If one travels by boat. 1t is
inconvenient because 1t requires holding
all the time if there is wind. which, to
say the least, is a disadvantage on the
decks of an ocean steamer.
But here is another thing to consider:
the majority of people travel after the
1st of July and their illusion about the
ocean being a cold place is often dis
PEELED. Going over on the Imperator. for
instance, all the women were dressed in
linen skirts and muslin blouses and
sought the shady spots with their deck
chairs, as though they had been on a
hotel piazza.
So don't count on the ocean being
cool. Take one linen skirt. white or tan,
and have a few white blouses ready in
the top of your cabin trunk You may
he very grateful for them all the way
over, and when you arrive in a European
city you will find them joy.
BY the way. a frock of shantung is
one of the best choices for the trip.
1t may be called into play when the
admirable serge coat suit is found too
hot And make the blouse separate from
the skirt.
One such served me for three months
travelling last year from Panama to Ger
many and back through Paris to New
York. The silk does not wrinkle like
pongee or linen, and, therefore, is more
available for constant wear.
The Striped Topcoat.
There has arisen a new fashion for a
topcoat with stripes, either broad or
narrow. Roider. the famous French
fabric designer. invented a material in
cotton which has elements of worth, but
which should be avoided by the woman
who may strike a cold cline and who
must get her moneys value from each
garment she buys.
II she likes stripes. there are plenty
of materials from which to choose The
shops offer the greatest variety of de-
signs that we have seen for years, il
ever, for the topcoat has become recog-
nized as a garment for all the months,
not merely for an occasional DAY There
are also good-looking affairs of rough
English suitings with deep collars and
cuffs Of plaid fabric.
