Old Fashion Revived.

Along about the time that we used
to sing sweet Genevieve" and Jua-
nita" in close harmony on the front
porch on summer evenings or in ham
mocks on the lawn, there came about
the fashion of covering molds of but
tons with colored cloth.
1t was the work that idle hands
found to do. Little girls were put at
II, as we now place them at kinder
Garten work. 1t was a matter of great
pride to do the work skillfully. and no
woman was indifferent to this test.
In those days we wore short, ful!
skirts with wide tucks from knees to
hem, and this fashion is launched again
today, with the covered buttons as an
accessory.
The gown of today is an evidence of
both fashions, but there is new trick
of handling the bodice that gives 1t
novelty and makes it more becoming
than the old bodice which was attach
ed to this skirt of wide tucks.
The material of this frock in Shan
tung khaki. which is one of the many
new weaves in natural tan that the
summer has produced. The large. fiat
buttons are covered with the material
and are placed around the figure at
the head of the tucks and used as or
naments on the blue Streamers pendent
from the belt. The bodice is merely a
chemisette. There are short sleeves of
rose -colored silk net, half covered by
little cape, which has a rolling col
lar and facing of natter blue.

cellent model for a girl of eight to
twelve years. Taffeta was the mate
rial selected. and it is trimmed simply
about the short skirt and the low.
round neck. with an inch-wide band
of striped silk in contrasting colors.
The suit might be navy and the trim
ming gold and blue, red and blue, green
and blue, etc, or the suit proper might
carry a vivid splash Of color in the
shade selected.
The knickers fit snugly about the
knees, and are shaped almost identi-
cally like the breeches developed with
riding suits.
The little suit fastens exactly in the
center back. Buttons trim the knick-
ers, and a smart little pocket is set on
the waist at the right side. In max
ing the suit, the waist should extend
underneath the skirt about one inch
and buttons set on this with matching
buttonholes in the knickers, SO the
latter may be held firmly in place.
Among the new bathing suits shown
this season is model quite guiltless

questionably excellent for swimming.
Some of these knicker suits have Rus

Knitted bathing suits are gaining in
favor as they continue to be worn at
various beaches.
Bathing accessories are shown in at
tractive array also. Brimmed hats of
rubber or rubberized silk, etc, are
shown in becoming shapes. Among the
new bathing shoes, a model finished
with a wide frill al the top is original
and rather popular. Much attention
has also been paid to the matter of
bathing stockings. Some are hand en-
broidered in suitable designs and many
fair bathers indicate a preference for
short baby" socks.
The tight-bodiced silhouette featured
in many gowns shown this season is
reflected in bathing suits cut on similar
lines. No wasp wasted effects are
noted, the bodice being only slightly
shaped. seams and trimming lines and
the extremely full skirts used in these
models completing the illusion.
Satin is a very popular fabric for
smart bathing costumes.

The prominence which the Mexican
state of Tamaulipas is occupying in the

lowing bulletin. issued by the National
Geographic Society from it's Washing
ton headquarters. of timely interest:
Owing to the border outrages COM
mftted by bandits who have invaded
Texas at points opposite the Mexican
state of Tamaulipas, public interest is
forcused on this political division of
tho southern republic, which has i'm
mensely rich resources. both mineral
and agricultural. but which has not
been developed by American and Euro
pean capital. as have other sections of
the country.
Tamaulipas is about the size of
Maine. but with only about one third
the population of the New England
commonwealth. Its gulf coast line
low. sandy. hot and moist-extends
north and south for $50 miles from the
mouth Of the iRo Grande to the mouth
OF the Panuco river, where is situated
the important seaport of Tampico with
Its fabulously rich oil feds. This coast
Is indented with many shallow lagoons
formed by the islands and sandbars at
the mouths Of the Rio Grande, Conchas.

which are exceedingly dangerous to
navigation and which cause great dis

TO CAN RHUBARB.

cut into inch lengths. and lay them in
cold water for half an hour. Weigh the
rhubarb and to each pound allow half
pound of granulated sugar. Put the
rhubarb. still wet, into an agate-lined
saucepan. mix the sugar with it, and
set 1t to one side of the range until the
sugar melts. Bring slowly to boil
and stew until the rhubarb is very ten
der. Seal in glass jars while hot. wrap
in paper to exclude the light and it
will keep all the year round.
1t can also be canned without adding
sugar Then later 1t will be useful IN
forming the bulk of acids and buffers.
1t Is very nice to mix with berry jel-
lies and imparts the desired amount of
acidity to plum. cherry and peach jel-
lies which often turn to a thick. stringy
sirup and will not jell without acid.
Rhubarb may be canned in cold
water. Use freshly cut stalks. f1t them
tightly into a thoroughly clean jar and
let the water run full force into the
Jar for fifteen minutes until all air Is
excluded. Screw on the top while the
jar is still under water. see that II is
perfectly alright and the contents
should keep and be like fresh rhubarb.

Bullet Buttons on Hats.


Bullet Buttons on Hats.
The French dressmakers felt out care
fully and gngerly to see If this idea
had a chance of winning out IhoSe
who did not care for the transparent
colored buttons were asked to use the
large, fat gilt and silver ones OF the
eighteenth century
Then the millinerS saw chance -
sweep ahead with a new fashion anu
impress it upon the people before tie
dressmakers actually had chance TO
establish 1t. So they put buttons OH
hats.
There were silver buttons in the
shape of large and small bullets anu
they were used to ornament a crown
or the edge of a wide brim; AGAIN
they were arranged in geometrlca! !oi
nations against the crown, suggeS'lE =

Some of these ideas contributed 70

chary of accepting the fashion for tear
of having the SoftneSs eliminated from
the face. which is a fatal mistake, as
every woman should know.
These cannon-ball buttons became SO
well known in French hats that the
dressmakers again took up the idea

With a Siphon of Soda.

Did you ever stop to realize what can
be done with a siphon bottle Of soda
water when it comes to making cool
summer beverages? We Americans are
all too apt to associate the siphon with
but one sort of drink. our so-called ma
tional beverage, the high ball, and few
hostesses stop to realize that there are
as many soft drinks that can be
concocted with the addition of soda
water as drinks of stronger nature.
1t is not at all necessary to buy ex-
pensiVe apollinariS to make these cool
supplied with soda at the rate of 10
cents a quart. The best way to serve
these beverages is to mix the founda-
tion of the drink in the glasses. with
a couple Of tablespoonfuls of chopped
ice and to carry them on tray with
the ice cold sphon bottle to the porch
or lawn, where they are to be dis
pensed. Sometimes the soda water is
added to the glasses before serving. and
sometimes it is added all at once in a
large punch bowl. but this is mistake.
IS the soda naturally becomes fiat when
allowed to stand. even for a few minutes.
Drinks That Are Beneficial.
Milk is said to be more easily d.
gested when lightened with little
soda, and a very good nourishing drink
for a hot day is sweet milk and soda.

full of sugar and tablespoonful of
chopped ice added and then the soda.
Some Fruit Mixtures.
For a more ella borate beverage try
this mixture: The juice of half
dozen lemons and half dozen oranges
with two quarts of grape juice and
scant cupful of sugar. For this
amount of fruit mixture about a pint
of soda water will be needed.
Raspberry juice. lemon juice and su-
gar. diluted with a little iced water
makes a splendid foundation for

fore adding the soda, give delightful
flavor
Chopped pineapple added to the
lemon and orange juice and sweetened
to taste is also good foundation.
Grape juice always finds admirers and
is good served with lemon or orange
juice or clear. The addition of the
soda water not only adds snap" and
'zest" to the grape juice, but prevents
the rather heavy fruit from being too
concentrated for the benefit of tn
health.
