Plain Lemonade.
For plain lemonade allow three
lemons to each quart of water and
about half a pound of sugar. This,
however. is not a definite quantity. as
much depends upon the acidity of the
lemon and the variation in tastes. Have
the lemons perfectly clean. cut two thin
slices from the center of each and lay
aside Chip off some of the thin yellow
rind from several of the lemons and
squeeze out the juice, pressing hard
enough TO extract some of the flavor of

tired of the hats with which they be-
gan the season. To begin with. the
styles have changed just enough to
place the hats of February somewhat
out of the picture. and. ignoring all
the other in-between reasons. the last
one is that women want something
new every few months.
The truth of this latter condition Is
what puts the world of women against
the reformers. II is easy TO read and
write reams of theories as to why
caprice of new clothes: and. with de-
lightful ingenuousness, these dress re-
formers put the blame on the dress
makers and shops. ignoring the funda-
mental truth that the blame should be
placed on the women.
Those who are sincere. and those
who are insincere. but want to be
heard crying aloud in the market
places. do not 90 far enough into the
clothes question when pleading for
dress reform.
What normal woman would want to
be robbed Of her privilege of seeing
new clothes and buying them when
ever il is possible? What healthy
minded woman would want to go
through life wearing the same gown,
cut on the same lines and preserved.
or copied, from season to season?
Mary Garden, the opera singer, an
swered this whole question once in an
interview on the deck of steamer
when she was sailing for Paris. 1t was
at the height of the great hubbub con
corning the question of American
clothes only.

Human nature gets excessively weary

same dish set before him seven nights
in the week. He thinks it is quite
within his province TO raise a howl of
protest over such monotony but he is
quite unable to see WHY woman CAM

in the year.
It seems. therefore. an established
fact that as long as women live they
will persuade dressmakers to give
them new clothes. even if the dress
makers do not take the initiative. Eve
grew tired of her fig leaf in one sea-
son.
The difference between a slim and a
full purse is the only decisive factor
in changing clothes 1t is to assist
those on slender incomes to keep apace
with changing fashions that the shops
offer, in large quantities. low-priced
copies of high priced models.
This work of reproduction has al
ready begun in the large shops of New
York. The buyers have been return
ing from Paris with stocks of French
ideas, to help women change their
clothes for the summer
In addition to this. the towns are
flooded with cheap copies and adapta-
tons of the French models that came
over mere in March Some of these
adaptations are admirabl and suit the
masses far better than the frocks
which were made in Paris and which
were intended as suggestions to buy
ers, rather than offerings to indi-
vidual women.
We are now a BILE TO select in the
thin fabrics. suitable for summer a
vast variety of gowns and suits that
originally appeared in dark and thick
err materials.

As an example of this, there is the
immense output of satin clothes since

delightful fabric was not especially
featured in the February and March
models. but the French mills must
have turned out great quantities of il
in the early spring. for Paris has been

out in satin for two months
The incoming Of this material is re-

significance. Satisfaction comes from
the fact that satin is cool. easily
