ingredients of the costume The black
velvet basque is comfortably sleeve

long, straight lines. Broad sash

loose knot at the left side Of the
front. Jet affords the only trimming,

large buttons down the front Of the

messaline are sufficient to complete
the effect Of the costume. 1t Is quite

velvet lacings and rose-colored hose
were selected to accompany this
gown. For theater and dinner wear,
q black straw picture hat lined with
rose and trimmed with huge crushed
roses may complete the costume.

Three Minute
Journeys
By TEMPLE MANNING.

In the strange little island Of Corsica
famed alike for its relentless feuds anc
as the birthplace Of Napoleon. tho trav
eler finds many strange customs. Bu
there Is one custom that does not seen
strange. novel as 1t may be to him. the
use of public ovens.
Perhaps-the reason why a traveller
does not feel puzzled at the use Of the
communal oven Is because IL has It's
reason for being. in his mind at least. in
the poverty Of the people When the
huts are uneauipped with the very sim.
plest conveniences of life it cannot puz-
zie him that an oven for baking is also
omitted.
The very first time I came upon a
village oven in the heart Of the little
! collection Of huts that lined the wind
Ing track that served for a street I
knew what 1t was. even though I had
! never seen one before. The oven door
| was blackened by smoke and SCOT from
the chimney holes lay thick upon the
sides-it proclaimed itself for what It
was. No one who saw 1t could possibly
mistake the purpose for which it was
used.
A square structure Of large stones
| this village oven and the score Of other
ovens that I saw along the picturesque
roads In the little hamlets. was set In
part was solid and the upper was the
oven. A small hole IN either side and
at the back allowed the smoke to es-
cape. A projecting roof OF stone built
over the oven served as a shelter to the
baker.
When a village housewife wishes to
cook anything she collects or buys a
bundle of firewood and proceeds to the
oven. Lighting her fire. she waits until
II has burned Itself down. and then
she brushes the embers aside until the
stone Is clean. On these hot stones she
places the bread or meat. brushing the
ashes into the doorway.
While waiting for her food to cook
she discusses local news and scandal
with her friends.
Sometimes the village oven Is not free
to all; often 1t Is the property of a pri-
vate individual. who makes his living
by renting 1t out This much the same
way our forefathers used to draw their
grain to market to have 1t ground at
the private mill into flour. In this case
the private owner, like the old-time
mill owner. furnishes everything and
makes a charge for the use Of his oven
of about one-tenth of the value of the
food that is cooked.
Without the communal oven in Cor
sica. the village housewife would not
know how to cook her daily meals. Ger
tainly without it she would miss all the
delectable gossip that she now enjoys
while she bakes.

! to be the universal summer
~ slogan. We may quench our
thirst at drugstore or 'Ice

times when a refreshing cool beverage
is needed in the home.
Lemonade. grape juice. these are the
staples. but frequently something a
itue out Of the ordinary. trife more
elaborate. Is desired. Either as an after
noon refreshment to the casual guest.
or welcome to the after-dinner caller,
the summer beverage has a definite
place.

sential. A package of the straws used
at fountains can Just as easily be part
OF the home outfit. Paper doilies will
make the service more attractive, and
cahoied and canned fruits of various
Kinds assist in garnishing!
Tea Most Common.
Iced tea is perhaps the most common
beverage, and how often poorly made!
Not all tea which has a delicate flavor
or tastes good hot is satisfactory when
served cold. Indeed. some India teas
