WHAT TO DO WITH
A BUNCH OF RAFFIA

The woman who can handle raffia
pickup work for summer at her COM
mand but she can make many useful
and attractive additions to the sum
mer home.
The rafta, which only costs 10 cents
a bunch, can be bought in three or
four colors-natural color. a darker
shade of brown. perhaps. a soft green
and a dark red give promise of inter-
esting combinations. If basket OF
raffia is planned for a room furnished
in a definite color rafiia in matching
or tremendously contrasting shade can
be bought. Some of the firms that
sell rafiia have sample cards which
have the names of the different colors.
and opposite the names samples OF
the raffia in those colors. From those
cards it is easy to order a renewed
supply or a new stock of raffia by
mail.
One of the useful things which. the
raffia worker can make for the sum-
mer house is small flower holders.
These are really no more than little
baskets fitted with glass or china
dishes to hold water, but they are
very effective. Half a dozen done in
two shades of raffia-Green and
natural or brown and natural are
both good combinations-all the same
size anu Shdpe, VI else uoic VII
ing pairs, are very pretty for holding
the flowers on the summer dinner
table.
pair of them on dressing table
or desk gives an artistic touch to
whole room. and they can be ef-
fectively placed in any bare spot.
They are especially good for holding
such short stemmed flowers as pansies.
nasturtiums. for-getme-nots. annual
larkspur. small roses. alyssum. candy
tuft and English daisies.
These little baskets can be made to
fit about old and handless cups or
deep saucers. In either case the bas-
ket should be narrowed above the top
of the dish to a wide neck. and then
should flare at the top. This shapes
the basket like a vase and gives
good support for the flower stems.
For these baskets the raffia can be
wound about either heavy cord or
damp willow. Lazy squaw stitch Is
the easiest and most quickly accom-
plished of all stitches.
Small mats for holding water
glasses OIL the bare table, to take the
place of coasters. larger mats for
holding water carafe. teapot or water
shapes for card trays. fat baskets
with long handles for garden and
flower baskets are all useful and in
Leresting things to make with bunch
of raffia.

Americas Fashion Show.

II is safe to say that never before
have there been many fashionable
clothes i'm the United States.
The war is keeping Americans at
home this summer; but it is not pre-
venting them from buying Paris
frocks. In spite of all the discussion
OF American made styles. our styles are
still Paris made. What the situat ton
may be next year nobody can foretell.
But at present Paris fashions still dom
mate. And because our women Of
fashion must stay at home this year.
the women who usually spend the sum-
mcr in this country has better chance
than ever before to study Paris
fashions at short range.
Many prominent American women
have ordered new frocks direct from
the Paris dressmakers. They are not
content with the frocks the American
dealers import. Instead these women
send their measures and orders to their
faNoritc Paris dressmakers-and in the
course of time a wonderful frock. espe-
cally designed for the fashionable
the Atlantic. In normal times these
summer frocks would have been order
I'd and worn in Europe and il they had
reached America at all. they would
have reached here partly worn out Ii
j. autumn and winter wardrobes that
Americans usually bring home with
them from Paris. But their Paris made
summer frocks they usually wear out
before they return homo.
All this is interesting to every
woman who likes to keep abreast of
the fashions but it is especially inter-
">tiug TO American dressmakeIs and
manufacturers. For they will have q
chance to sec the very latest thing in
Paris summer fa:liiOns without the
trouble and expense OF a trip 10 Paris
To be sure the woman OF fashion
does not wear her newest Faris frocks
always where the public can see them.

Cheap Starch.

Most housekeepers know nowadays that
to have a well balanced diet, the food
served every day must contain starch
and sugar. fats, mineral matter and pro-
tein. as well as a sufficient amount OF
water-at least two and a half quarts
for an adult And most housekeepers
manage to plan their menus so that all
these food ingredients shall be furnished
in approximately correct amounts.
But many of us furnish the amount Of
