 Back in the winter when hard times hit the town it will be remembered that the wiener made it's debut here, and an excellent trade was established over night in the 'downtown' section of the city. And by the time the public became aware of the fact that the genuine article was being manufactured in Birmingham and was readily available at all hours of the day hot off the coals, the invading Ger man host had captured, fortified and made impregnable points of vantage along upper Twentieth street.

When this dish is served steaming hot to pedestrians of this city, New Yorks playground beside the sea is called to mind, and one will at times imagine that he is on his summer 5 vacation; and a trip to a Coney Island wiener stand, by the way, is about as close to a vacation some of the in dustrious workers of this city will come this summer The wiener has indeed come to stay''

marbles Of eastern Vermont, many of
which are dolomitic, vary widely in
kind and character, and the outcrops,
though few in number, are scattered

The warm sunny weather is very
pleasant in many ways, but it always
brings forth one intolerable nuisance
ants. This pest has proved the
despair of many housewife, who has
tried various methods Of getting rid
of them-only to have them return

their disposal. A Los Angeles baker,
himself a great sufferer from ants, has
prepared paste which will not only
drive the ants out of your place, but
will keep them out thereafter. Ants
cannot exist where this paste is used
Its effect appears almost supernat-

use under the name of Kellogg's Ant
Paste, and can be obtained at all up

When a gown outlives the ordeal of
a fashion parade-where it must vie
with many other gowns in beauti-

business it is to select are put to the
test of a public scrutiny, and the fate
of many style is settled.
The gown of black taffeta, made up
with black and white stripe in the

a great New York house that launches

Whatever vagaries the midsummer
may bring in the way of fads, let us
hope that pretty floating wells will be
numbered among them. Short wells
of light net or of supple chiffon, that
answer the lightest breeze that blows
or play with the stiffest wind, are too
becoming and too pretty in them
selves to be left out of our reckoning.
Just now the face veil of very fine,
plain net, in an open mesh, worn with
turbans or sailors, serves to keep the
hair neat-looking and sometimes to
improve the appearance of the COM
plexion. Unless the skin is very clear
and somewhat rosy these face wells
should be chosen in color or in the
very finest and most inconspicuous
threads and meshes in black.
Certain shades Of gray and grayish
blues and those colors classed as
mode" and fawn color are found to
be most becoming in mesh face wells.
In the finest weaves they are hardly
discernible, but are found to brighten
the complexion more than black wells.
The godet veil, which was intro
duced with the beginning Of the spring
season, promises well as veil for
midsummer. 1t is more voluminous
than wells of plain or figured net or
even those of lace, which appeared
last summer, but did not come into
general use.

with a bias fold of satin, are pictured

illuminate the pendant garments with
your torch, drag whatever you select
down from the hook, grasp it firmly
with your teeth, and SO out again on
your hands and knees, rolling the elec-

now why in those good old days chests
