FOR TOURNURE AND FL0UNcE
Draperies That Are Much Liked and
Deserve the Favor they
Have Received.

The tournure draperies arranged In
soft pillows at the back, and drawn in
below with a butterfly bow or a big
tassel, are greatly in vogue; the
fronts of these skirts being sometimes
simply draped to fall in straight folds
or set with f1ounces of lace or net. A
lovely little gown of peryenche tat
fetas, with a large tournure, was abso-
lutely untrimmed save for a soft neck
ruff1e of tulle in the same tint and two
little frills on the half-length sleeves;
and a similar gown was of white tat
feta with a belt of gold tissue fast
ened with a gold rose and bodice of
white and gold embroidered ninon.
With this were worn black hat with
gold crown and sweeping gold
aigrette, and black satin cloak lined
with white; and the sunshade was of
black point d'esprit over white crepe,
with a very deep border of gold It's
sue embroidered with gold in high re-
lief. Several lovely white ninon or
lace gowns have the skirt set with a
series of godet flounces curving up to
the back, with scalloped edges.

COFFEE SERVED IN ORANGES
Idea Is From New Orleans, Where
They Claim to Make the Best
Beverage In America.

A young hostess recently pleased
her dinner guests with new way OF
serving after-dinner coffee, which she
said was learned at a famous New
Orleans cafe.
The entire rind Of an orange is used
as cup. 1t is cut with sharp knife
and the lower half is turned back TO
form a standard for the upper half
which is the cup. The orange remains
between the two and unites them.
The cups are filed with boiling hot
black coffee and sweetened by lump
of sugar dipped In cognac. A match
applied to each cup before serving tg-
uites the brandy and the flame so pro-
duced is aided by the oil of the orange
rind, SO that charming effect is pro-
duced by tray of these brightly burn
ing cups. Each orange is placed on a
small plate or saucer.

moved If One VIII Take Little
Pains With the Work.

To cook cranberries as they are
brought from the market is to meet a.
keen disappointment In g. delicate
berry which many persons do not en-
10Y because its wild flavor is unpleas-
ant to the taste. Clean the berries,
place them In a pan with sufficient
water to cover them, and add half
teaspoon OF soda. Boil the berries In
tae coda water until you hear them
bursting. Drain the water from them,

Finse them In cold water, then cook
with the sugar. 1t removes the tang
and less sugar is needed to sweeten
them If cooked IN this way. The same
method has been used successfully in
cooking soup beans, from which the
greenish water removes a poisonous
substance, makes the bean clear and
white when cooked and they cook in
less time, too. Others have used soda
water for cooking rice for few min
utes to remove the artificial glaze
which is coating Of talcum, and a

is immersed before 1t Is ready for

DON'T FORGET BEAUTY SLEEP
Loss of Siumber Probably Affects
Wcman's Looks More Than Any
Other One Thing.

Lack of sleep affects a woman's
looks at once Woman is supposed
to require eight hours sleep.
Sound sleep can only be had in a
room where the ventilation is perfect
that is, where there is steady cur
rent of constantly changing fresh air.
Have a comfortable bed. Never
sleep propped up with pillows. Lie as
fat as possible with a small pillow,
or none at all, under the head. Never
sleep with the mouth open.
There is no excuse for sallow COM
plexior. Exercise and diet are the two
things that will cure 1t.
Eat only the simplest of foods, no
fried meats or sweets, no coffee,
plenty of vegetables, and walk as
much as you can in the open air.
Five excellent rules of health and
beauty are to eat enough, but not too
much, drink only water, walk two or
three miles a day, sleep eight hours.

State Leads in Crab Industry.

Grab fishing is now one of the recog
nized industries of Wisconsin. Hand
ling the little crustaceans has become
regular business only recently in
this state. This year prospects are that
all records will be broken. Statistics
showing the number of crabs shipped
from this section of Wisconsin will no
doubt be revelation to many
Although this has been an excep-
tional season, the remarkable figures
on the crab catch of one company
alone are almost unbelievable.

ScentInn the Hair.

A delightful way of imparting deli
cate scent to the hair is to let it fl
ter through in the form of steam. 1t
sounds difficult, but it is not at all.
Simply fill small bowl with boiling
water and pour some of your par
ticular perfume upon 1t. The two
liquids will not mingle, but if you
hold your head over the bowl the
steam of the water will carry the scent
with it and through the hair in most
satisfactory fashion.
