Admirers of the shepherds check
in cloths for tailored suits-and these
are many-were given a very great
variety in models this spring to choose
from. Those suits for which small
checks were chosen. cut on simple,
but carefully thought out lines, proved
to be the most successful. A great
many of them we're made with short
WASTED box coats. A less number had
short jackets, and some of the smart
est were designs in which semifitting
coats figured. Skirts we're nearly al.
ways plain, moderately wide and
somewhat flaring. The advance of the
season proved that the suits of shep-
herds check received a merited ap-
probation. The pretty spring suit be-
comes the crisp midsummer suit by a
variation Of the shoes and hats worn
with it. and is a paying investment
for street wear.
One of them is illustrated here. The
perfectly tailored skirt is plain with
moderate fare and cut instep length.

Early in the season hats having
transparent brims made their appear
ance. These brims were fiat and
mounted on braid w They were
made of malines. net, chiffon or thin
crepe. Nearly always, embedded be-
tween layers Of such airy materials,
flowers. with petals spread fiat, added
touches of lovely color. The effect
is very pretty-and gave the hats
their distinguishing name-that of
halo" hats-the embedded wreaths
encircling the head like a halo.
So good an item of art in millinery
was destined to outlast the early sea
son and to introduce many transpar-
ent hats for midsummer. The latter
are made, crown and all, of the thin
fabrics, and brims have grown wider.
Flower and feather trimmings-but
mostly lowers-are mounted on the
outside or underbrim instead of being
embedded in the material.
A beautiful hat of this character is
shown in the picture. 1t is of black
malines made over a frame of fine
pan VINO. 1h6 SuBC WIG anu Ouo
other are outlined on the underbrim
by filter jet. There Is an immense
pompon of malines at the front with
two long jet ornaments thrust in 1t.
Nothing could be prettier for midsum-
mer wear than this exquisite piece OF
millinery.
Hemp and leghorn hats, with fac
ings Of Grape on the upper or under
brims are among the loveliest offer
ings in dress hats. Light pink crepe
is the favorite color and hats of this
character are among the best de-
signed for bridesmaids at June wed,
dings. One of them is shown In the
illustration. 1t has a crow of hemp
and its upper brim covered with crepe
stretched smoothly over 1t, leaving
the hemp as a facing. It is trimmed

Ample, the Heautifier.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor
away" is an old adage, and the same
may be said of the orange. as it has
an equally fine effect on the entire
system. If one is inclined to acidity
of the stomach, the juice of ar orange
is a counter-irritant. If the sto@s-a
is weak the juice of an orange before
breakfast is an excellent tonic for
the entire day. II one is dieting to
reduce, one or two oranges eaten
at noon will nourish, fill the aching
void in the stomach and reduce rather
than add to the weight.
An orange always quenches the
thirst, and in travelling 1t is much
safer to eat an orange than to drink
stale water. A hot orangeade before
going to bed on a cold night warns
the entire body and soothes the nerv-
Gus system.
The peel Of IN orange thrown into
a hot tub softens the water to the ex-
tent that the whole body benefits by it.
For cleansing the face soak a bit of
orange peel in a basin Of warm water,
then go carefully over the face with
the peel; afterward rinse in the water
in which the peel was soaked. 1t is

Washing ShaWls,

To wash knitted or crocheted shawls,
fold them as fiat as possible and lay
carefully in a pillow case, run through
at intervals with basting thread to
keep fat. Then they should be ham
died like other flannel or wooden
goods, says the Dallas News. II
washed separately, observe the usual
precautions for wooden goods, gently
squeezing through the hands and keep
ing the suds and rinsing water of the
same lukewarm temperature. Take
out of pillow case, but do not hang
knitted goods up to dry. Put in the
oven on a big platter, shaking and
turning occasionally, or lay on a clean
cloth in the sunshine.

The jacket is among the modest mum.
Der made with normal waist line,
which rises a little at the back, where
plaits are depended from the belt. 1t
is cut in points at the front, is longer
than at the back and is shaped by
small plaits laid in at each side. The
belt terminates at these plaits.
The shoulders are somewhat long
and so are the plain coat sleeves. The
flaring turnover collar is cut in three
pieces and unusually we'll adjusted.
Ball buttons in three sizes are used
for fastening and trimming.
The suit is worn with low shoes and
black cloth CATERS, to be changed to
white for midsummer wear. The sailor
hat, of black t~affeta, with collar and
border in black and white stripe, is
trimmed with small pompons of black
feathers with long curving ribs ex-
tending from them. White neck rufus
of malines or combinations of white
and black look we'll with these check
suits.

For Hot Biscuits.

Any hostess who prides herself on
her delicious biscuits should not fail
to keep them tasty by having them
covered during the meal, so that they
will retain the heat. An attractive
cover can be made of white linen hav-
ing a square center and four pointed
ends. On M of the pointed pieces
two biscuits might be embroidered. To
make the design more realistic you
can tint the biscuits brown and then
outline the edges of them. Or, in
place of using the design, embroider
the words Hot Biscuits" on the linen.
Have such a cover ready for the next
plate of hot biscuits you serve to your
friends and enjoy the praise you will
receive for your n~eedlework and your
culinary ability.

Smart Costume.
JULIA BoTToMLEY.

One of the smartest costumes for
young women, exhibited on a living
model at a recent opening, was of very
pale tan worsted and mohair mixture,
made with short, flare skirt, revealing
the new slim black leather pump, guilt
less of buckle or bow, and stockings
Of natural silk. A little coat, button
ing high to the throat, was sur
mounted by a very tall choker collar
of white organdie with points reaching
up over the cheeks and a broad stock
of black satin holding it in place. The
coat had a belt and a plated coattail
at the back. This knowing spring cos
tune was completed by a tiny black
satin hat with slashed sailor brim and
a floating veil Of black mesh with an
alloVer vinet pattern.

How Toodles got acquainted with
his grandfather in the first place was
always a mystery in the town. II
was Mrs. Clay, who lived next door
to the old recluss, who brought the
news that Toodles and the old man
were hobnobbing upon the doorstep.
Toodles was FIVE and Henry Pentland
lseventy-ive.
What a pity it is" said Toodles,
swinging backward and forward in the
rocking chair, that you didn't like
my papa as well as you like Uncle
George"
"Why?" rasped the old man, speak
ing as If to a man of his own years.
Because then you wouldn't have
been so lonesome and miserable in
your old age" said Toodles.
The shot went home. With a snarl
old Henry Pentland was Upon his feet.
"What do you mean, sir?" he demand
ed. Il am anything but miserable
He went on in a soliloquy, apparently.
Charles and George were both dear
to me. George had the brains. He
made a success of his life in the city,
where he is honored and feared.
Charles was content to plod along in
a country store. He married a nom
entity. He did nothing toward ele-
waiting the family. Why shouldn't l
prefer G%eorge?"

Timed Cheese.

In this age of sanitary packages
for food products, 1t is an anomaly
that we still buy our cheese by the
pound, sliced on from a common loaf
at the grocers. For a number of years
the United States department of ag-
riculture has been testing the merits
Of cheese put up in alright tins, and
the results are said to be satisfactory.
It is found commercially practicable to
press cheese of the Cheddar type in
hoops Of small diameter, cut into
pieces Of the desired weight, and seal
1t in the tins. This process not only
conduces to the preservation of the
product, but also prevents loss by
evaporation and the waste entitled in
cutting. Moreover, the timed cheese
has no rind, and this fact represents a
gain which helps TO Offset the cost OF
timing. estimated at about three
cents for labor and tins.-scientihc

upon him his entire fortune, which
he had invested in his dubious
schemes, paying his father 10 per cent
per annum. However, he had only
paid two years income, and in reality
this had come out of the principle,
Henry Pentland had dotted upon his
second son when he was a boy. But
Charles was not smart, like George,
and when he married pretty, but com,

man, who had dreamed of seeing both
his children wealthy and honored, re,

never spoken to Charles since the
marriage, nor held communication
with any member of his family except
George, who, having wheedled the old
man out of his eighteen thousand dol
lars, under promise of eighteen hun.
ldred a year for life, now began to find
his father something of an embar
rassment.
Old Henry Pentland wrote to his
sol every week. His solicitude fol
his sons health did not touch George
and his twice a year visits to him a
his bachelor quarters in town were
an event of horror, for George was
sensitive to the opinions of his friends
and dreaded that one of them would

HOME THAT is TRULY HOME
lite Creation 10 Wholly the Art Of
Woman, and Really Her
LIES Best Work.

A home is not merely a house; Il is
an atmosphere; 1t is a place of be-
loved associations, where you can
wear old clothes, and think old
thoughts, and hear familiar voices
without hearing them. You a be
happy there, and be comfortably UNI
happy, be thoroughly unpleasant
even, and know that those you love
will think no worse of you than they
do already. Luxury cannot make a
home. nor can books, or pictures, or
rugs, or bric-a-brac. A cat, a canary,
two geraniums, a Bible and an old
rocking chair may make N of the
loveliest homes in the world, At the
same time a home is not necessarily
happy because 1t is the house Of pow
erty, as some would have US believe.
The art of creating home atmo-
sphere is wholly the art of woman.
and she has none more charming.
Mere care will not do 1t, or mere
neatness and tidiness; indeed those
things sometimes work the other way.
The love of prettiness will not do

though it is a mighty help. Even be-
ing gay and merry, and kindly yourself
Is not quite enough, although it helps
even more than the cooking. Sue
cess in homemaking, as in everything
else, requires that you shall feel a
real Joy in your work. If it is a drag,
if it is an irksome duty, if your mind
is on a thousand outside things that
are not home, you cannot make home
what it should be. Not that the home
maker should think of nothing else.
That is neither desirable nor possible.
But the woman whose first pleasure
is to create that beautiful thing, home,
will be a precious and permanent in
fluence not only to her own family,
but to all her household, to all her
guests, to the whole community in
which she lives.-Youth's Companion.

HOW TO COOK VEGETABLES
To Attain Best Results, These Worth
While Observances Should Be Kept
Strictly in Mind.

1. Use the freshest vegetables that
can be procured.
2. All fresh green vegetables should
be placed in boiling sailed water.
3. All dried vegetables, such as
beans, haricots, l%entils, etc., should be
placed in lukewarm water.
4. The use of plenty of water in
the cooking of all sorts of cabbage
and sprouts is not only preservative
of color; it is also advantageous In
reducing the disagreeable smell which
cabbage water always has.
5. Never allow vegetables Of any
kind to remain soaking in the water in
which they we're boiled; drain them at
once when they are cooked.
6. 1t is waste of money to buy old,
dried vegetables, and a waste of time
to try to cook them.

Busrah, the city where our Arabian

river. If you will look up Busrah ION

direct line with Kurachee and Bonn

track of the shortest possible mail
route to India, and the railroad which
the future is bound to bring. Seventy
