Drinks For Summer

TVHEHN are any amount of fruit
 punches. but this nonalcohelic va riety is . little unusual and e.,Aus very good: One quart of water. . small cnn. Cof aepinsapple. one-quarter pint 1em6n 5uice, six ounces sugar. one-half pint orange juice, carbonated water.
 Strain the juice from the can of pineapple and chop the slices of fruit Into neat dice Boil the sugar and wa ter for twenty minutes, then add the Uirup to the lemon, orange and pine- apple juice, strain into a bowl over the cubes of pineapple. When quite cold and ready to serve add carbon ated water to taste and if liked deco rate with . few maraschino cherries.
 A refreshing- drink that con- tains quite a good deal of nourishment is made from raisins and rice. It is excellent for the children during the hot weather, when they are inclined not to eat very much.
 For this beverage use three quarters ter. one-quarter of a pound of raisins. Cut tho raisins up SO that the full flavor may be extracted and put them within saucepan with both the rice and water. Stir occasionally until the water 'boils, then draw to one side and keep simmering gently for thirty min utes. Strain while hot and leave to get cold. then set on ice until ready to serve. F
 Boston cream is an excellent home- made ''fixzy'' drink that is greatly liked by children and is a good thing to have

on tap for an emergency. It contains one and one-hah pounds of cube sug- ar one-quarter ounce lemon essence. white of one egg, two quarts of boiling water, two ounces tartaric acid. bi- carbonate of soda.
 Pour the boiling water on the sugar and let it stand until cold. Add the lemon essence and the tartaric acid, taking special care that there are no Jumps. Beat the white of egg to stiff froth and stir in. Pour into bottles, cork tightly and seal. When the drink is wanted add two tablespoonfuls to a glass of water, add small pinch of bicarbonate of soda, stir well and drink while still fizzing.
 Orangeade is not a great novelty, but still it is generally liked and is a variety from incessant lemonade. It keeps well and is consequently good for picnics Use six ripe juicy oranges, one-haf pint of water, one-haf pound of sugar, one quart of boiling water. Boil the sugar with one-half pint of water until the sirup is thick Put the thinly cut rind of the oranges into a pitcher and pour the boiling sirur over. Cover until cold. Stir in the orange juice and the quart of boiling water. Cover tightly and leave until again cold. then strain and bottle untN needed.
 With a supply of these drinks in the pantry and plenty of the lest of all beverages, plain. pure, cold water we ought to be able to weather the hot test of hot days in comparative com fort.

Baroness de Rauch Tells How
 She Sees American Women

rible little subterfuges. no more daily hypocritical comedy for the sake of domestic peace; the way cleared for the present healthy state of matrimony. Every reform launched by women is . priori rejected in Europe. Here a wo- man can have the courage to preach c new religious faith, and thousands. both men and women. accept this new beati-
 tude..
 The highest meaning of feminism is misinterpreted by the word 'independ- ence." Independence has an anarchis- tic and exciting sound. steering the man against an unknown danger which will diminish his autocratic power. The American woman uses the liberty bestowed upon her with a gracious dig nity, and the importance of her high intention is manifested in the fact that men fight with her and against her. In this country there is no longer the pitiful smile of the worlds lords for a ridiculous and vain cause. Man has laid in womans hands the supDeme task of implanting the fundamental physical and moral principles for the future of the race; he has imposed upon her weak shoulders the heaviest and she stands in her duties serene. just and impartial Are those duties not a part of the worlds affairs? Those who are the pillars of the happiness of mankind must be in the high councils. where are built the laws for the same mankind.

cessful in the case of black tulle model, half covered by little frills. each frill edged by tiny quilling of gay ribbon. f
 Powered silks are used for covers, but seldom alone, except where the silk is woven especially for the cover, with a stunning lowered design massed around the top and part of the cover in plain color.
 Panels of beautiful lowered ribbon set together with black. the lines rum ming from top to edge form the covers of some gayly attractive parasols, and one sees pretty covers of handsome lowered silk with deep borders of large check in black and white or, in white, with the color most prominent in the floral design. f
 Powered silk with frills of white is another of the lowered arrangements. and of course there are the parasols plainly covered in quaint little sprigged designs, such as we have had for sev- eral seasons past.

Tulle Rarasols with rose trimmings appear occasionally and sometimes are delightful. A shirred cover of tulle will have one gorgeous rose and leaves flat on top. ending the blunted point. and perhaps another rose will be tied to the handle in a bow of tulle. or a quaint nosegay may take the place of the rose, or a rose may be posed among the tulle folds quite at the edge of the parasol.
 Sticks of fancy sunshades are of lacquer more often than anything else. some of them in very gay color, but others in black or white or dark tone. Jewels are set in the handles some times. imitation jewels. but affording attractive bits of color, but most often the stick is rather simple affair with some sort of silken strap. t
 Plain. sporty looking parasols with thick sticks. blunted points, plain or leather braided handles and leather wrist straps are offered in all of the modish colorings.

LUNCHEON FOR
 AUTOMOBILE PICNIC

(lNE woman thus describes her pic-
 nic:
 T wonder if many of the sisters take their lunches when they go on auto mobile parties. We do, it saves so much. bake bread in pound baking powder cans. also cake in tin cookie boxes. The bread I take from can cut In thin slices, spread with butter or peanut butter and return to can. It keeps we'll The cake also I cut and cover. and 1t keeps fresh. We have a small chafing dish and teapot which we>take. and as we have one of the tiny fec boxed and automobile kits. which holds plates. cups, forks, spoons and everything in very small space, it. is very cary for us to get a good meal by the roadside. Cheese. shrimps, tuna dsh, olives. chicken, tongue. spiced fish. arc all eady to prepare and taste so good. We also take along lettuce. rad lshss. tomatoes and scallions for in-S pgpmptu salads and unhulied berries fo dip in powdered susar.s

parasol from outer edge to ferrule is much narrower than the other side. The silk cover is in plain color, faced with contrasting color, and the stick is a plain one of lacquer.
 Less bizarre are the parasols Of Jap anese shape. plain on the outside, but decorated on the lining. A flight of birds is the design most commonly painted, and butterflies are also favor ed by the designers. The same idea is applied to some parasols not quite so fiat in shape, and. one sees also similar effects obtained by applying cutout birds or butterflies of gay color to the silk surfaces.
 There are flat parasols, painted on the outside instead of on the lining, and. though this idea is not new, the manner of decoration is new, running to the same brilliant colored sprawling designs that are used upon the wide brimmed sports hats.
 Less severe in character are flat

in the cover about six inches from the edge and tied in a bow where the two ends meet. The adgA is Sometimes plain. sometimes softened by narrow fringe, and the parasol is at its best when all in one color.
 Another ribbon run model is suggest i've of st fan. It is plasted in fan fash ion, and a ribbon is laced through the plaits, lying fiat and smooth when the parasol is open, but used in drawstring fashion to shirr the parasol closely when it is closed.
 Square parasols we have had before, and we have them again; also square shapes over which round covers are laid, only the points of the square and a narrow rim left showing.
 The tulle and chiffon sunshades are even more incorrigibly frilly than those of silk, sometimes having the cover en- tirely hidden under narrow frills, and very good effects are often secured by edging narrow tulle frills in very mar row ribbon. This is particularly suc-

 With . beautiful summer frock of black and white embroidered voile set off by georgette crape frills and nlaited bodice gees a fetching taffeta psrasol in white with black pola dots. This contrast Is reversed in the parasol of black and white wide stripes. The suspender frock and white organdie bodice are natty picked out with two widths of black velvet ribbon.
 Another parasol that almost waIks off with the suit is of wistaria silk, across which fly three white sparrows. Two of these birds perch on the brim of the wide sailor. which is made of wistaria taffeta like the costume. 70 smart with its fringe trimming.
 The beautiful parasol of ivory han- dle and tucked sections is fashioned of two fabrics. a grass green silk and black and white stripe, which gives a serviceable binding. For less dressy accessories is a pongee in natural tones with gayly colored butterflies f1utter-' ing across it's ribs. reI

TT is the great privilege of American
 women to have discovered in work woman's vital power. To see Ameri- can women at their work is inspiring. I have seen them in the midst of a crowd without any nervousness-calm. dainty little ladies. I have seen them in the offices of great newspapers. seri- ous, intellectual women, selecting from the chaos of events, with superiority of taste and spirit, that which can stir the masses. 1 have seen them ruling huge organizations with simple ges- tures-noble women. I have seen them teaching in schools-not the old worlds resigned, sour old maid type, but lively, gay and happy beings, and I,have seen the schools. living witnesses of wom- ems labor! In their farseeing ideas is consumed the pedantry of that model pedagogy of Swiss origin Each in- dividuality. each talent, is respected. Besides the scientific laboratories. there are studios of every art, studios for daily necessities, dressmaking, cooking, housekeeping. This plain work is no longer disdained as the stepchild in education, and those who are less gift ed for social brilliancy are not despised Cinderellas. There are gymnasiums and athletic fields where every atten- tion is given to the perfection of beau ty of the fine, slender body, strong and flexible. like steel. Happy, happy chil- dren, who are strengthened for life in loving life-an old Greek ideal revived and adapted to the hife of today.
 f The gay and radiant community Of these children has grown to the great est ideal of American woman-her mo- ble comradeship, the new female free- masonry. You enter this enormous country a foreigner and are taken by the hand and guided under the protec- tiQn of this sisterhood. The most un- bounded hospitality is extended to you. You feel like a child that will be petted so long as he behaves prettily, and it is primitive joy to please them. You choose your prettiest clothes, you dis play your little talents to entertain them and use little coquetries which in the old world had been reserved for man. and would whisper in your ear it is a greater effort to be applauded by women; they are not amfably blinded by sex. and their eyes are open for your weak point.
 But the American woman must re- member that the instrument on which she plays so virtuously her melody of freedom was first tuned for her by men, Man freed her from the slavery of old fashioned housekeeping. She must not fail to realize what mans generosity has done for the enfran- chisement of her mind. No more ter-

THE CHARM OF COURTESY.

WHY don't all women learn that it fs
 quite possible to combine afrabil- ity with dignity? In daily intercourse with fellow beings it would make this old world a much more agreeable place to live in if women were more consid- crate. especially of each other. Some women dare not converse with theif maids for fear they might lower them selves in their own estimation. nor viii they be civil to a clerk in a store for fear they might be expected to fec- ognize them outside. Thank heaven well bred. intelligent women have no such fears. for such sentiment is. snob- bery pure and simple. t
 There are women. and their tribe is increasing daily. who realize all the beautiful opportunities they have to help other women-all that position. wealth and the freedom of speech give them. Such women talk freely with domestics and thus cement their affec- tionate respect.
 It is noticeable that such women never leave a kitchen. market or shop that every other creature of their kind present does not acknowledge to them- sslvss the charm of . gracious uanne-L

 : There is more variety than usual in the sunshades displayeds and yet there have been years when there was more freakishness.i Material and trimming have more to do with the variety than have odd shapes. and. though, as has been said before. the latter do exist, the somewhat fiattened Japanese shape is the only one that encroaches at all seriously upon the conservative shape.
 Some of these models are exceed ingIy nat and many ribbed. The most secceptric thing shown in this class Is of uneven width-that is. one side of the
