NATIONAL. GUARD NOTES

The following of interest about the
Brookings national guard company
and the Fourth Regimental Band
comes from Redfeld, where the boys
are in camp with the South Dakota ma
tional guard:
The Fourth Regiment band under
the direction of Principal Musician
Carl Christensen, band director Of
State College, Bookings, experienced
a hard trip before arriving at Camp
Hagman. The band drove from Brook
ings to Gary July 8, and presented a
concert there that evening. Sunday
they gave an open air concert at Mil
bank, and during the whole OF Monday
they were the chautauQua band at
Big Stone for South Dakota day, CIV
ing two large concerts on chautauQua
grounds. Being scheduled to leave
Brookings at 6 a. m, Tuesday for
Camp Hagman, they were forced to
drive all night. obtaining no sleep, and
reached Redfeld in time to put life
into the camp.
The boys are not all dead yet, and
are doing credible service in camp.
Wednesday the band put in a good
mornings practice in playing and
marching, and in the afternoon aided
an exhibition guard mount ad panrade.

The evening parade is getting very
popular with the people of Redfeld, a
number Of carloads coming out each
evening to witness the ceremonies.
The band feels that 1t Is adding con-
siderably to the interest.
Commencing Thursday the band
turned out at reveille at 5:55, and
made the morning march down the
regiment street, waking up the guard
for the morning work.

1t lei that everything is woven
in stripes this year, and the frock Of
Bingham for the half-grown schoolgirl
may show them as we'll managed as
they are in the visiting gown made for
her mother. The handling of striped
fabrics is not a particularly simple
matter, but when well done the re-
suits are something to be proud of.
A good model for a dress of striped
material is shown in the picture. 1t
Is in every way commendable for the
girl of from nine to fourteen years and
merits the attention of those who
must provide clothes that shall be at
tractive for girls of the awkward age.
One of the strongest points in favor of
striped fabrics for children's wear lies
in the fact that they allow simplicity
and variety at the same time. BY the
simple ~expedient of changing the d.
rection of the stripes the trimming
is provided of the same material as
the frock.
The model shown is so good that
it should be followed exactly as it is,
by the copyists who use it. The bodice
Is cut with long shoulders and large
arm's-eye, and the simplest of neck
openings. In 1t the stripes run up
and down and the slight fullness gath,
cred in at the waist line gives them

the right direction. They slant to-
ward the middle Of the belt at the
back and front. At each side a band
of the material, having the stripes
running horizontally, makes a neat
decorative feature and adds to the
shapeliness of the waist. In the elbow
length sleeves the stripes run length
wise.
The neck and sleeves are finished
with an embroidered edging in a sim
pie, well-made design. Pearl but
tons, two at each side, and simulated
buttonholes of marrow braid, are eff
fective little touches on the front Of
the waist,
The skirt is moderately full with
panel at the front and plaits at the
sides and back. Above the three-inch
hen a band of the material, with the
stripes running horizontally, gives the
skirt a neat finish and a desirable
flare at the same time.
The belt may be of patent leather or
suede or of some heavy fabric. Alto
gether, this dress follows many good
points in the modes of spring for
grownups and at the same time con-
trives to be prettily childish and very
practical. 1t is meant to be developed
in wash fabrics and is easy to launder.

USE POSSES FOR TRIMMINGS
One Will Not Go Far Wrong If That
Method of Decoration Is
Adhered To.

If you are in doubt about trimming
the new evening frock, whether or not
it is cut on the empire lines, place
your minds on flowers. They have
returned to favor out of the decades
gone by.
They are used to catch the drapery
on skirt or bodice, or as shoulder
straps, or as moyenage girdles, when
they are fragile as orchids or rose
buds.
The short full skirt has crept in.
Gathered 1ounces are e. used on
the lower edge of underskirts. A tub
frock that is as good an example as
has been seen Of the tendency of
spring clothes has long, slim raglan
sleeves combined with a standing col
lar and an exceedingly full skirt, The
blouse, too, while it fits smoothly
across the shoulders, is so c%ircularly
cut that it is fully gathered into the
waistband. The circular skirt has as
many gathers at the belt and a cir
cular and gathered flounce is found az
the bottom of the underskirt, This
gown is a combination of cream
batiste, pale blue or pink linen and
cluny lace.

EGG ADDS TO EFFECTIVENESS
Suggestion for Best shampoo-How to
Coax the Eyebrow Into a Proper
Appearance.

To make egg shampoo, take the yolk
of one egg, hot rain water, one pint
and one ounce of rosemary spirits.
Beat the mixture thoroughly and rub
it we'll into the roots of the hair.
Rinse In several waters or use a bath
spray, which greatly simpifes the
work.
1t is we'll to moisten the hair with
warm water before the shampoo is APP
piled; this makes the work easier and
the egg will not stick to the hair.
Here is a treatment for those az
flicted with pale, sparse eyebrows and
lashes which make a face expression
less.
They can be coaxed into a better
growth by rubbing the eyebrows night
ly with vaseline and applying to the
roots of both the eyebrows and eye
lashes a tonic made by mixing FIVE
grains of sulphate of %quinine with one
ounce of sweet almond oil.
Apply this with a fine sable brush
which comes for the purpose.

WHEN PREPARING EGGS
MUCH CARE SHOULD BE GIVEN
TO THEIR COOKING.
pisestlbiIlty Is Affected by Temporal
ture Of Water In Which They
Are BoiIed-Proper Method
Of Making Omelet.

While it would seem that anyone
a cook so simple a food as an egg
satisfactorily, no other food is so af-
fected by different cooking methods
and particularly by degrees Of tenn
perature. The albumen, or egg white,
is greatly changed by heat, and the
way the heat is applied. II it IS
gently warmed, coagulation, or hard
ening, does not at once take place.
although the substance may be per-
fectly cooked. But if plunged at once
into boiling water or liquid the albu-
men becomes tough and far less de-
sirable as a food element. Il is, there
fore, much better to cook eggs by
some other method than direct boil
ing; steaming, poaching or "~coddling"
keeps the albumen soft while cook
ing. For dishes requiring hard
boiled' eggs, it is best to let them
simmer for about twenty minutes, so
that the white will be solid, yet ten
der, and the yolk dry and mealy. Fry
ing, or coating the egg directly with
fat, also hardens the albumen and
makes it less digestible. 1t is far
better to put the eggs in a buttered
dish and "shirr' or bake them in the
oven. The secret of successful dishes
like the omelet, which is made so well
abroad, lies all in the temperature Of
the pan, the fat and the quickness
and skill with which it is handled
before allowed to become tough or
stringy.
Eggs contain no starchy qualities.
This teaches us to build up u egg
menus with starches such as potatoes,
rice, macaroni. Eggs also need to be
served with fat, which does not mean
frying in fat, but a sauce or dressing
containing butter or other oil.
An error common to housewives is
to relegate the ust Of eggs chiefly to
cakes and puddings, adding these to
an already heavy meat meal. Since
eggs are the equivalent of meat, II
we use them generously in a pudding
We do not then need meat in u first
course. Similarity, it is unwise die
tetics to ser1e a heavy, rich cake as
the last course of a dinner beginning
with a fatty meat like lamb, which
already has given us muscle and fat.

A new combination has appeared
among, undermuslins and has proved
a great success in the spring dis
plays. 1t has appealed to the senses
OF utility, economy and daintiness,
which women exercise when QUILTING
themselves with summer underwear.
This garment is called the envelope
chemise" and is engagingly pretty as
well as practical.
To cut the new combination, one has
only to vary the lower part of a
chemise pattern by sloping the side
seams outward to provide for a fare
at the bottom. Also the back breadth
is cut longer than the front breadth
and with a tab at the center of the
lower edge. This tab is more or less
narrow and is provided with button
holes which fasten over small, fiat
pearl buttons sewed to the bottom
edge of the front breadth.
This arrangement divides the skirt
of the chemise, making 1t as easy to
walk in as muslin or silk pants and
giving the appearance of a short un-
der pe%tticoat.
The envelope chemise Is developed
in nainsook or other thin cotton fab
RIGS and In wash silk or crepe de chine.
1t is trimmed with the usual lingerie
laces. The corset cover, pants and
short skirt may be dispensed with
when this chemise is adopted, since 1t
takes the place OF each of them.

FOLLOW FASHION OF ELDERS
Costumes for Small Girls Are More or

the Grownups.

Faithful to tradition, the fashions of
the nursery and school room are fol-

girls from seven to seventeen are wear
ing ~long-waisted dresses with frills or
plaits to give the basque or tunic eff

A very soft shade of red, like the

headgear in the form of pliable velvet
felt or chenille, black shoes and stock
ings and black gloves.
Military o%vercoats are designed for
little boys and girls, as well as for
senior wearers. The collars and belts
are distinctive characteristics of the
models and on the collars are emblems
of gilt or silver braid.

GO BACK TO OLD FASHIONS
Some Designs In Hats Look as If They
Might Have Been Copied From
Family Albums.

A great deal has been said anent
the fact that many Of the ley fashions
look as If they had been copied from
the photographs in the family album.
One is more and more impressed with
this thought as the season, with
its ever-changing fashions, advances.
Certain it is that there is a decidedly
old-fashioned look about many of our
clothes.
And have you seen the hats that
look as If they were trimmed with
wax flowers under glass? Surely you
remember seeing some time, in some
oid-fashioned drawing room, waxed
flowers under a little dome of glass?
This new method of hat trimming is
suggestive of the waxed flowers.
