Tour Summer Tea Table

EvEN on the warmest day hot tea is
 refreshing. but tea. as we use the aame nowadays. does not necessarily mean just what 1t says. The tea tray eftep appears bearing glasses that dnkls with ice and give promise of rome cool homemade concoctions The appointments of the tea party, although not always gorgeous. are always. in pne's home. dainty and immaculate. Even though cool beverages appear on the tray that is sent to the tennis court or garden. veranda or drawing room on . summer afternoon the, steaming tsapot alyays appears-or ought to- tor the sake, of those who prefer the hbt beverage and to keep up appear nne6A for h we go on calling our { p'clock refreshments "tee" why tea khaFe must be.
 We Americans have reason to be glad that the tea wagon has been in- troduced in our land from the Eng ltnh country homes. whore it has long besn in evidence. Most of us have never cared much for the drawing room table left set with teacups, silver and plates. yet even the largest tea tray pgUvoe inadequate to hold all the tea things. When these things must be totsd out of doors the task is even more dimcult The tea wagon, which goes on wheels like a baby carriage, solves the problem, for it is both tea table and tsa tray combined.
 The folding tea wagon is our own American adaptation of this English convenience. For the cottage or small apartment 1t is especially convenient. It comes in wood of any finish and when not in use collapses into such smail space that 1t can be kept in the china closet or porch settle.
 One of the virtues of tea serving is that 1t is an Inexpensive form of hos- pftalfty. Even the millionaire. if he uses good taste In serving tee, can spend little, for simple sandwiches, made of wafer-lilxe slices of bread with thirly spread filling, crisp slices of toast, fresh small patty cakes or sweet biscuits, are the only accompaniments to inc cup of tea that are really suit .able. When q millionaire wants to apeud money on afternoon tea he has to do what the late J. P. Morgan did oVory year. He once tasted at Petro- grad tsa of especially delicate flavor Ho learned that 1t came by caravan acspas Siberia from the orisnt, 90 he ar- raaeod to buy up the entire crop and every year thereafteF sent agents to Russia to negotiate . corner in this parttculaf kind of tea.

HOMEMADE ALTAR OF ROSES.

SELECT two glasses. one small
 enough to fit in the neck of the other. Partly fill the larger jar with fresh fragrant petals and invert 1t over the smaller, in which has been placed a fine, absolutely clean sponge soaked in olive oil. Prop up the two bottles in the strong sunshine until the petals are withered, then remove and fill with the fresh. Keep this up during the whole summer, utilizing all the petals that can be obtained. When the season is over rinse the sponge in alcohol and you have the essence of altar. If you have a large quantity of petals you may squeeze the oil out of the sponge with out adding alcohol, which gives the real altar. By diluting either altar or ex- tract you have delicious davoring.

SIMPLE preventive measures will
 save much worry and annoyance for vacationists. For instance, 8 book. case should never be left standing against a chimney. Almost .any chimney, especially one that is not well capped. will collect dampness during the summer. Bricks are porous and when a house is closed and no fires are going to dry out the dampness, this will gradually work through the bricks into the plaster and to the wall inside the house. When the house is open and the rooms aired daily the constant circulation of air acts against the dampness, but with all doors and windows closed dampness and mold run rampant. So. never set a book case or a mirror or any other piece of furniture against chimney. If its place is there move 1t out from con- tact with the wall.
 Circulation of air is also necessary to keep the piano in tune. So when the house is closed for the summer do not shut tight the keyboard cover. Leave 1t up just g few inches, enough to pre-

.L'Envoy of Housecleaning
When earth's last picture is dusted. T And the floors are oiled and dried; When the oldest carpet is beaten.
 And the youngest spider has died

We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need iti Lie down for . momsnt or two Till the dust on the grand piano
 Shall set sus to work anew. We shall have real paint to lean on; Pile everything into the hall, And scrub for hours at . sitting 6 And never be tired at all. And they that are clean shall be happy: They shall eat on kitchen chair And splash with a seven league dust mop And chase the germs from their lair. And all for the joy of the cleaning! 7 And each in her feminine glee. To look just as well as the neighbors For the sake of things they might see. :

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Few realize how many society women
now wash their own hair, not because
1t is a fad, but because they wish to OBJ
tain the greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful. The thousands who have found
that In washing the hair it is never wise
to use a makeshift but is always advisa-
BILE to use a preparation made for sham
pooling only. say they get the best results
from simple homemade canthrox mix
ture. You can enjoy this, the best that
is known for about three cents sham
poo by getting some canthrox from your
druggist, and dissolving a teaspoonful
in a cup Of hot water. Your shampoo is
now ready. After it's use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff, ex-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and entire
ly disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than it is.
Its lustre and softness will also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insures hair growth.
