AUGUST PRESERVES.
Pear Marmalade.

Use large yellow pears which are thor
oughly ripe. Peel and core ten pounds
of the fruit. put it in porcelain kettle
with pint of water, letting it cook
slowly until reduced to a pulp. Then
add one-half pound of sugar to every
pound of the fruit. and stir over the fire
until the mixture is thick and smooth.
Pour the fruit in wide bowls, allow it
to cool. and put it in small glasses; seal
and set in a cool, dry place.
Fruit in Brandy.
Peeled peaches, apricots and plums
may be used for this delectable dainty
Allow one pound of sugar to every two
pounds of the fruit. and begin by clari-
flying it; when the strip boils gently
lay in the fruit. pricking plums, but
only leave it in the kettle long enough
to be softened a little. Take great care
that the fruit does not actually cook.
When slightly softened. take 1T out and
put 1T in d sieve to drain. Set the fruit
to cool; then boil the strip until it is
thick, put with it an equal quantity of
raw brandy and pour it over the fruit,
which should now be in the jars.
Plum Jelly.
Put ripe plums in colander and pour
boiling water over them. then put the
fruit in preserving kettle with barely
enough water to cover. and boil until
the plums are softened, and the juice is
plentiful. Strain off the juice and put
it on to boil Measure out a pound of
sugar to every pint of the juice. and
placesit in shallow pans in the oven to
heat until the juice has boiled for twenty
minutes. Add the sugar then, stirring it
in until dissolved and removing all scum
as it rises and pour into glasses boiled
in hot water to prevent their breaking
when the scading fluid is poured in. A
delicious jelly from wild grapes may be
made in the same way, but. remember.
If the jelly bag is squeezed the result
will be jam and not clear jelly. When
! the natural dripping. seems. about over,
squeeze out al! the pulp that will come
| through the mesh of the bag and use
it for jam.

FOR THE SKINS THAT DO
NOT LIKE COLD CREAM

Many skins respond SO badly after
| using cold cream that 1t is better for
some women to use lotions in place of
such unguents, or at least along with
them. The first two lotions must be
employed after using cold cream-say,
the next morning-as they are for
cleansing purposes, though they are
bleaching and softening, too
Almost the best thing that can be
offered the skin that chaps with soap
or burns with the wind is an almond
cleansing lotion made in this way:
Bitter almonds, blanched. ..............4 ounces
orange-fower water. .................12 ounces
Old CASTLE soap. ............k ounce
oil OF Derga mot. 0O drops
OIL of canella. 10 drops
Oil of almonds ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS drops
Alcohol 100 per cent? ........4 ounces
Put the almonds in a sieve and dip
it in boiling water; this makes 1t easy
to remove the skins. Bruise the al
monds in a clean mortar; then powder
the soap and dissolve it in the orange
flower water by heating this gently in
double boiler. Gradually work the
soap and water into the almopds, and
then strain twice through fresh mus
lin. Return the mixture to the mortar
and slowly put in. the alcohol, in which
the oils have been dissolved previously
stirring all the while. Use this upon
the face like a soap, washing it off
afterward with several clear waters.
The next lotion is especially adapted
to oily skins, though teaspoonful of
it may be used at any time for soften
ing and sweetenng the face bath:
Tinctrrc of benzon. Il ounce
Tinc,urc of ambergris. .................:4 drains
Rect!fied spirits .5 ounces
(bTaQCp-nOWSr Is
Add the tinctures to the spirits, then
mingle with the perfumed water. This
} lotion has specially tonic effect, spur
ring the skin at once to more health
normal flow of OIL it is likewise a
mild remedy for removing tan and
freckles. If the perfumes are of the
best quality-as they should be-the
| emulsion.
The third lotion is designed to suit
the skin abused by late hours in close
| rooms, but since it is tonic and as
| that steams with muggy weather or is
| otherwise uncomfortable.
| Extract of cassia, No. 2................5 ounces
Extract Of violet, No: 2...............5 ounces
Extract of orris root .................o ounces
White wine vinegar. III pint
| These materials must digest to-
gether for ten days and then be filtered
through porous paper. The sort of
cassia needed is that which is ex-
tracted from the bark of cinnamon cas-
STA.
This is not a wash, but a tonic lotion
intended to refresh the skin at any
moment when the face takes on the
tired feeling which is the forerunner
Of a settled worn look. So it is a
good idea to have some Of this toilet
vinegar-for' it is a vinegar-on hand
for occasional use as a matter OF
course. A teaspoonful of it would be
put in the face bath, or the vinegar
may be used undiluted sometimes on
a soft. cloth for the occasional wipe

AMERICAN FASHIONS.

The excellent feature about the pat
tern of this fetching dance frock is that
the same pattern supplies a waist with
a high neck and long sleeves SO that
the dress cut from it may be for morn

colors.
Frills as light as air float around

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, August 17.-There was
q time when it was considered smart
TO put a child in tiny hats. Now they
wear the largest they can carry.
The last season in which the Scotch
bonnet was in style it was worn by
the young boys with velvet suits and
plaid sashes. CHow they must have
hated their mothers for arraying them
in these Lord Fauntleroy-like clothesD
Little girls also wore the pointed cap
Of the Highlanders over their long
curls. and looked quite attractive in
the unusual combination.
Those were the days when the idea
of bobbing a girls hair would not have
received recognition. Girls wore curls.
one who wore cur1S was not to be con-
sidered an equal. Well. today. girls wear
short hair: their elders also wear 1t. and
some of them are gray-haired. If any
one would have told any one else that
women with gray hair would go about
the fashionable haunts of New York
wearing it bobbed in the fashion of a
French dancer Of three years ago, it
would have been like talking Of aero
planes as war scouts ten years ago. All
the unbelievable things have come to
pass in this most unbelievable age.
Far in the Past.
Girls and curls are widely separated
these days. Fathers sigh over the sep
aration; mothers and nurses delight in
1t. Boutet de Monvel was responsible
for the change as he was for the adop-
don of the straight slip as a substitute
for the frock with a high or low waist
line girdled by a colored sash with a
huge bow at the back. These things
have passed out. The less clothing a
child wears. the better. So says fashion
20 say the doctors. The shorter the hair.
the healthier, also, so bobbing goes on
day after day without ever a thought of
anything tlse.

with satin roses in front, where the
gird1e fastens.
Satin bands finish the neck and
sleeves and may be finished on the arm
with a bow or with satin roses, ac-
cording to pleasure.
Just a whisper about economy. This
frock can be made to look different
for many occasions by merely wearing
1t over a different. colored slip. Don't
forget that slips under thin dance
frocks are now frilled and trimm ed
quite deliberately, so that the trimming
adds to the decorative appearance and
to the fuffiness of the bottom of the
skirt. 1t is quite the fad to border
scalloped ruffies of net on petticoat
with narrow satin ribbons. and it is
also a charming fancy of the hour to
tenrich the founce of an evening OIL
dinner dress with small medallions OF
pompadour flowers in wreath effects
This sort of trimming enhances the
look Of springtime and youth in the
frock.

the wrist with a cuff effect of silk
that fastens closely around the wrist
and causes the chiffon edge of the
sleeve to ruffle.
Where an older woman makes up
this dress it would be wise to omit
the sleeves and just attach a little
drapery of lace, net or tulle to hang
away from the top Of the arm The

Breakfast Coffee

Preferably breakfast coffee is served
with hot milk. Experts say that coffee
with cream is likely to produce sour
stomach. They also declare that if it
be sweetened neither milk nor cream
should be used-'for the stomach's
sake"
Coffee may be either boiled (boiled
coffee must not really boiD or perco-
lated - three rounding tablespoonfuls> to
each pint Of water.
The milk has been put into a double
boiler and thence into a covered hot
pitcher rs soon as the water around 1t
has boiled. In serving pour the cup
half full Of hot milk and then pour in
the coffee.

Roast Lamb or Yearling Stuffed.

While it is easily possible to have
the bone taken out of the leg and
loin of lamb and the cavity cut open
with the boned loin bound over the
opening, after stuffing, by tape or nice
cotton Irvine. thus allowing good and
ample pocket for stuffing in hindquar-
ter, still it is equally possible to take
out the shoulder blade and bones from
forequarter and also produce a very
nice stuffed roast, which will cost
very much less. Not only does the
forequarter weigh less, but also at
the much lower cost per pound one
often finds it will give as much as
required at about one-half the cost
of the hindquarter. While we would
have more meat to use in the hind, for
large family, the economy will not
be so great as the difference in price
per pound signifies, still for a small
family the hindquarter of a good year.
ling will usually last too long.

The skirt model in this evening dress
OF peach -colored taffeta is reminiscent
Of the old draped skirts of our mothers
day. The entire frock is very girish
an. very quaint with its baby waist of
self-tone tulle gathered into a little frill
Of tulle at the neck, which is held in
place by tiny roses. The elbow sleeves
with their wide tulle frills are also caught
with these roses and a row of the flow
