HINTS FOR SHOPPERS.

plentiful supply of small change Is
often of great help to the summer shop
per. Much tedious waiting may be
avoided if one has always the right
change. In most of the department
stores. of course, shoppers must wait for
certain formalities to be gone through
with whether they are to receive change
or not But at certain counters in these
stores-at the notion counter, usually,
and sometimes where toilet goods and
soaps are sold-the shopper who has the
exact change may pocket her purchase
and leave Immediately. And in any
thing but a department store exact
change makes quick purchasing easy.
The slogan Shop early" has rung
worldwide at Christmas time. 1t ought
to be sounded in the summertime. too.
both for the shopper and for the clerk
For in summer the early part of the day
is surely the coolest. Moreover. in most
of the big cities the stores close early
in summer, and the woman who shops
late in the afternoon Is keeping the
clerks from much desired rest and rec
reation.
Shop slowly in the summer. Don't try
to do the whole summers shopping in
one short day, but do a little one day,
little more another day, and SO save
yourself the fatigue always consequent
on long, hot day in the shops.
Be extremely careful about the sort
of luncheon you eat on very warm-day
shopping trips. Indulge in light food
sandwiches, salads, perhaps a cream
soup. and simple desserts. Don't try
lobster newburg, curried veil, rich
salad and rich ice cream and then Won
der why YOU feel so badly after your
shopping bout. On the other hand, don't
try to get through the day on a lunch
consisting of cup of coffee and a char
lotte russo. Eat simply but sufficiently.
If you feel tired while shopping. rest.
Exhaustion from heat can almost always
be avoided. Rest is one way to avoid it.
There are pleasant restrooms in most of
the big department stores, clean and
comfortable, where you can relax for
half an hour. an hour if need be, and re-
gain strength and composure. If you
are very tired. if your head throbs with
heat, If you feel really i'll from fatigue
and warmth select a comfortable chair,
take off your hat. close your eyes and
force yourself to relax. AS soon as you
are really refreshed, go home. Leave the
rest of the shopping for another day.

For Busy Housewives.

Before serving dinner place bowl of
boiling water, into which has been drop
ped little oil of lavender, on the dining
table. This will overcome the closeness
of the atmosphere and the odors from the
kitchen or pantry which have penetrated
into that part of the house.
To wash brushes and combs, put tea
spoonful of ammonia in basin of hot
water and dip the brush up and down in
it, letting the comb remain in the water
for few minutes. In this way all the
grease will disappear, and, after rinsing
in cold water, both brushes and combs
will be perfectly clean.
For darning stockings. use crochet cot
ton 1t is preferable to darnfng cotton,
as it does not harden when washed.
Scorch marks in linen may be removed
by rubbing with a fresh-cut onion the
garment being soaked in cold water after.
II paint spots stick to window panes
do not use a knife to loosen them. A
cloth wet in hot vinegar will clean them
perfectly.
Keep some folded newspapers handy
upon which to place soiled pots and pans,
and save cleaning smutty rings from the
tables.
To sweeten closets. small pieces Of char
coal laid in the corners and upon the
shelves of closets will absorb dampness
and dispel unpleasant odors.
To insure cool butter. put your butter
in large jelly glasses with tin covers and
set them in basin and let cold water
run slowly around the glass. The butter
will not melt in the hottest weather.

Summer and the Hair.

The browning glory of the modern girl
is her hair. and it is from the summer
sun and wind that it gains it's greatest
beauty. Wise girls have already taken
advantage of the past warm months to
get their scalps into a healthy condi-
ton But the girl who has been too en-
crossed in business to have a jolly
vacation has yet time to give her hair
the benefit of balmy breezes and life-in-
sitting sunlight.
Where the hair is very oily and per-
SEPARATION causes it to cling together in
ungainly masses. girl should not fail
to give 1t weekly bath as long as the
warm weather lasts, choosing a day
when the sun is out clear and bright.
one OF the best washes to remove ex-
cessive accumulation of oil is made as
follows: Shave half of five-cent cake of
castlle soap into basin of hot. not boil
ing, water. Dissolve the soap thoroughly
and add two tablespoonful of washing
soda. one teaspoonful of ammonia and
one tablespoonful of borax. After these
ingredients are quite dissolved dip the
head into the basin and rub the wash
well into every part of the scalp. Rinse
thoroughly with a rubber spray or
shower. If the hair is exceptionally oily
rinse the last time before drying in a
basin OF lukewarm water in which two
teaspoonfuls of borax have been dis
solved
" hen "SiuS dllo" the LOCKS TO get
the full force of the suns rays in the
open air. If a girl has no porch or lawn
she should go to the roof of the house
or apartment where she is stopping. Keep
a palm leaf fan constantly in motion so
that the air may circulate over the scalp
and each strand receive its own share
of sunlight. Should it be necessary to
hasten the process of drying use an or
binary towel. Never wipe the head with
a Turkish towel. 1t is sure to leave a
great deal of lint. and it is so hard that
it is apt to pull out the hair.
Do not omit the frequent shampoo and
subsequent bath in the sun because the
hair is dry. The following tonic. rubbed
into the scalp just before washing, will
conteract any injurious effects from the
frequent use of water: Twelve drains of
castor oil, one-siXth of a dram of resor-
Gin. five ounces of spirits of wine and
eight grains of balsam of Peru. This
must be kept in a cold place. If it be-
comes the least bit rancid it is apt to
cause some disease of the scalp. After
using this tonic rub the scalp with a
jelly made from one quart of boiling
water and a five-cent cake of CASTLE
soap. Rinse five or six times In luke
warm water.
When a girl has much dandruff she
should apply this tonic to her scalp two
consecutive nights before shampooing:
Five ounces of bay rum, one ounce of
olive oil.
The girl with light hair. who watches
each day to see whether 1t has grown
any darker. has no better friend than
the summer sun. 1t is the best bleach
she can find. and will leave the CLINT of
gold which no other bleach can.

Two English Dishes.

A mixed grill is very popular in Eng
land for luncheon. but it would be as good
as light dinner or supper.
The following recipe makes enough for
three persons: Three lamb chops. one
half pound of sausages. four kidneys.
two tomatoes and a half pound Of mush-
rooms. Grill the chops. sausages and
kidneys together. slice the tomatoes and
fry with the mushrooms. The mush-
rooms and the tomatoes should not be
cooked long enough for the slices of to-
matoes to lose their shape. Arrange the
meat on a platter. lay the vegetables
around the edge. garnish with parsley
and serve No gravy should be used
with this dish, not even the juice from
the mushrooms and tomatoes. or the
flavor will be spoiled and the grill will
look messy and unappetizing.
Try this recipe some time when you
have few sausages or kidneys left over
from some meal. and you will find that
you have new and excellent dinner
dish with very little trouble or expense.

DEVONSHIRE CREAM.-This is just
as delicious as it sounds and far less
expensive. In fact, it isn't really cream
at ALL although no one would ever know
that unless she were told. for it tastes
like an exceptionally rich. thick cream.
1t is used everywhere in England. as 1t
will keep for several days in a cool place
and does not need to be kept on ice. Ice
in Great Britain is a decided luxury, and
not the daily necessity that 1t has become
in America, but even though the iceman
comes daily to your door and your fresh
cream will keep sweet for a day or two.
you may find jar of rich Devonshire
cream convenient thing to have on
hand.
Two quarts Of milk will make enough
cream for two persons. and the milk left
after the cream has been taken off can be
used for cookies. so there is no waste.
Put an earthenware pan of milk in a
cold place for twelve hours. Then place
1t on the fire and let it come slowly to
the scalding point: leave it on the fire
for about half an hour. but do not let
it boil then remove to a cold place and
let it stand for seven or eight hours, till
all the cream is risen. Take off the
cream. which should be thick and clot-
ted, and serve on fruit, tarts. cake. etc.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, June 2o.-The world is full
of top coats In plain colors and in
stripes, in plaids and in white they arrive
every week. ,....''--..,
One would think that the world was
full of nothing but gowns. without any
suits thrown in, to judge by the separate
coats sold each day. Women have taken
to them with enthusiasm because they
fill q need. ...
Once upon time women bought only
top coats Of heavy material for service
but today they buy them for beauty and
as a color addition to their costumes.
This, is the reason that bright yellow.
vivid red. glorious blue and burnt orange
have been successfully added to the list
of tones used in outer garments
Last summer the wildly colored sweat
erSr made their appearance and were re-
ceiyed with mingled CONSERVATION and
welcome by the world that takes fashion
seriously, whether or not it adopts it
Then came the colored top coats Both
are accepted now.
When the brightly hued jackets arrived
women wondered just how they could be
worn without shocking the community
but their usefulness was very soon made
plain when the time for country life ar
rived The city dweller. she who has few
chances to go into the country. to the
sea or in the mountains. has little need
for such additions to the wardrobe.
But it is more difficult than ever to find
the woman in moderate circumstances
now who is stranger to outdoor life.
The horizon broadens with the years, and
what some one has called the tragedy
of rapid transportation has put the
ocean and the mountains as possibilities
in all lives. and brought the trees within
the hours ride.
So whereas we once scoffed at the idea
of city woman of limited means in
dulging in the foolish luxury of raiment
for the gay outdoor summer life. now
even the woman who is wage Garner
has the constant chance to array her
self in it.

With its lofty sky-scraper buildings,
New York City is especially interested
in the shaking OF the earth's crust like
that of Tuesday afternoon; and it is
interesting to note that although the dis
turbance was one of the worst to visit
this section of the country in long
time the towering masses of steel and
masonry stood the test well. In fact,
New York people are SO encouraged that
they are inclined to coincide with the
view by the New York Sun, as follows.
"The bit of earth crust on which this
island settlement of ours is perehed may
be pretty thoroughly upended, but it IL
rooted to the parent mass with a solid
ity that helps to deaden rather than
magnify jars and vibrations. This geo.
logical fact has justified real estate own
ers in building for long durations, and
has thus given the city its second guar
sntee against seismic annoyance in the
shape of solid buildings. Thus doubly
guarded. Manhattan feels reasonably safe
from the woes of certain Pacific sister
cities as any spot can hope to be-"
