MAKE MOST OF GARDEN.

Live in the garden, if you like, but by all means live out of the gar den.
 Every time you take a meal out of your own garden you save the equiva- lent in other foods to be used in win ming the war.
 That is one side of it. Every time you take a meal out of your own garden you save money good, hard money that can be used for any one of a score of things that would make the family more com fortable-or for investment in Lfber- ty Bonds, Thrift Stamps and safety,
 That's the other side.
 And the bed rock bottom of 1t is that you have better more whole some summer meal than if you had gone to market and bought lot of meat and stuff.
 Make the most of the home gar den. Study it. Maybe you already know all of the delicious ways in which all sorts ot garden truck can be prepared for ths table. If you do, be philanthropist Impart some of your knowledge tc your neighbor. I If you do not. get the information that the United States department ot agriculture has fathered on that sub l ject-and apply it.

ELABORATE BLOUSES.

The fashionable shirt waist this summer is called the chemise blouse. It slips over the head and is so long that 1t looks exactly like the garment for which 1t is named. The only things that keep 1t from being a smock are the belt which holds in in around the waist and the quality and ornamentation of the material from which it is made.
 The new blouse is made of every sort of fabric. Those of fine imported laces for the most elaborate and dressy occasions have supplanted the once much desired and always good looking net waists. A very handsome chemise blouse of hand made Brus- sells lace has foundation lining of soft white China silk. The lace is draped over the lining in lines straight and plain enough to show the design of the lace to the best ad- vantage.
 Coral beads mounted on a band which does not show when they are sewed in place genuine coral beads of a very pale and delicate shade of pink-trim it richly. A crushed belt combining pink of the same shade as the beads and a twist of white satin goes around the waist, and a flounce of the handsome lace forms the bot tom or skirt of the blouse. This is to be worn with one of the new sports skirts of baronet satin in any of the pretty pale shades.
 So elaborate are these blouses and so varied are thea colors in which they appear that they can match any suit, and worn without thee oat they really give the effect of one-piece dress. For instance, with a skirt o1 blue gaberdine there is worn a blouse of blue georgette of the exact shade | of the skirt. A satin lining forms the l foundation for the georgette ant over the whole there are two straight pieces of blue net of the same shade , darted with silver threads and blut
 stitches in a lighter color for con ! trast.

REST ROBES.

The rest robe is a war evolution in woman's wardrobe. It is the loose, comfortable, good looking garment she slips on in her home after the hard days work is done; and Is the feminine counterpart of the smoking jacket and slippers a man dons when he forgets the cares of the day and relaxes in the quiet and comfort of his home.
 The rest robe is not only a thing of beauty, but 1t is an absolute necessity in these days when few women spend their time within doors and when war relief work calls them forth daily. Of course the lovely, comfort able things come from Paris The French woman never sacrifices her appearance for the sake of comfort, and while she may be comfortable to the last degree without corsets and in loose non-ftting dress, she looks just as well as when in less intimate apparel.
 Some of the most charming rest robes have foundation slip of supple satin with a high empire waist. Over this there is jacketlike arrangement of silk lace belted with sash of the satin forming the skirt. The lace makes the sleeves, which are long and pointed and finished at the elbow with 8 beaded tassel. From the shoulder cap to the elbow on top there is an open space through which the soft arm shows, and the neck is square or round, as the wearer de- i sires.
 The slipon model is by far the most comfortable and certainly one of the | best looking. Rest robes are really glorified versions of the tea gown, which used to be worn only in the in- innate seclusion of ones home. These new things, however. serve as well for a dinner or house gown afford com fort, and are elaborate or simple, as fancy and purse dictate.

BILLY BURKE BATHEs HER BABY

Billie Burke. the famous actress, says in the August American Maga- zine:
 'I never took the business of acting very seriously until played in Mind the-Paint-Girl.' I liked being in My Wife and Love Watches But as for being mad about the work-well, think my red head was pretty firmly set on my shoulders until Patricia came. She has turned it complete ly.
 T know there are millions of babies born every year. There may be bill lions, for all I know. I remember it used to seem as if there were a great with a smiling, dimpling baby. of my own, l have revised that opinion.
 Just now I am working in moving pictures, and if any of you notice a far-away look in my eyes in some of the scenes, you'll have to lay 1t to Pa tricia. I'm probably counting the minutes until four o'clock when can go home, to play with her and to put her to bed.
 You may wonder why, if am so enthusiastic about my baby, I didn't marry before I did It wouldn't be human nature for me not to admit that I did have some opportunities before I married MT. Ziegfeld But there was always a string tied to these chances, string that required me to give up the stage; and refused to do that for any man."

HATS AND HATS

"The all-georgette hat keeps on be- ing a fashion favorite," says Grace Margaret Gould, the Fashion Editor in the August Woman's Home Com panion. "In midnight blue it is part1c- ularly liked, with merely a wool-em- hrodiered motif on the brim.
 "One of the daintiest of the all white hats is fashioned of georgette with punches of small white grapes and silvery leaves for the trimming
 "The organdie hats for hot August days are the loveliest things in sight They have big dropping brins, and are a mass of tiny ruffles, plain or trimmed.
 "A rough and fine straw are conn., bined in many good looking hats. The crown, for instance, will be deep pur- pIe milan, the brin fawn-colored rough pineapple straw.
 Cherry and American Beauty wings give the bright note to the navy blue hat this fall. They are used in all sorts of odd ways, laid flat on the brim or topping the crown.
 "In fall millinery, it Is combination that counts for smartness. The od- der the combination the more chic the hat. Angora braid is combined with leghorn, velvet with straw, duvetyr with stitched taffeta, organdie with crepe de chine and, of course, fur with chiffon"
