THE NEW CLOTHES

Just as darling as the little peo- pie themselves. are the summer suits for brother and sister.
 For playing on the porch and lawn there is a cool lavender chambr for a little miss of 5. It is softened with yoke. ruffles and cuffs of pin-tucked organdie. With it she wears a poke bonnet of chintz, that has a narrow band of velvet and streamers.
 Brother, in socks and hat of white hemp, banded in. gros-grain ribbon, is cool and comfortable in cinnamon brown chambray made "Oliver Lavirt style" with the waist of natural col or tucked lawn, with white ruffles at the neck and sleeves. Mother of pearl buttons trim the waist.
 The present vogue of the sleeveless frock has brought forth in Paris that latest whim of fashion, the arn1et, says the London Daily News. To shorten that unduly length appear ance of the bare arm and to soften any defects it may have, as we'll as to make 1t appear winter. is the aim of the clever designer. An attractive ornament Is circlet of black feath- CTS sown on a cord which ties.

WHY DO THEY DO TT?

Why is it that the man who or dinarliy shows good taste in clothes is invariably seized win a brainstorm when it comes time to purchase a new straw bonnet and blossoms out in concoction that drives his friends into mysteries? asks the Toledo Blade.
 The fellow with the long, slim hun gry looking face always picks out one of those narrow brimmed, tall crowned nightmares that make him look like an accident going some place to happen.
 The fat lad, with the chunky face, turns up on the avenue, wearing a wide brimmed, flat crowned creation that makes him look like a cream puff that someone has sat on-
 And the funny part about the whole thing is that he is quick to laugh at the new straw headgear of some friend each one of the mis- guided Beau Brummels is firmly con vinced that his own particular hat makes him as deadly fascinating as a movie vampire.
 We have had censors for news. We have had fuel and food administrat- ors, now why not an administrator for straw hats, who will guide the foolish along the paths of fashion and good looks?
 For the straw hat has come into its own again. Pietro, Giovanni, AL lesandro and all the rest of the snil- ing clan who conduct the little hole in the wall hat cleaning shops all over the city have doubled their smiles in the last two days.
 A rising temperature and clear skies have resulted in great rush of business for the hat-cleaning clan, as the old straws of last summer are unearthed from clothes closets and attic and sent to be renovated for the new season.
 Several of the larger retail hat shops report sales of straw bonnets have leaped upward astonishingly in the last two days. And, wonder of wonders, the price for the latest styles are not exorbitant, very little differ ence being noted over prices of other years.
 The straw hat is going to be doub-- ly popular this year on that account, and if campaign of education should be started to abolish the frightfu1 mistakes in evidence on every street no one could have the slightest objection to the straw hat AAAA Rxtin1a Of bead wear-

Birthday Bio-Briefs Famous Women

Tomorrow is the day dedicated by the Catholic Church to St. Elizabeth. She was born in 1271, the daughter of Pedro III of Aragon. At F years of age she was given in marriage to Denis, King of Portugal. She was a saintly woman, who, besides doing much good for her subjects. several times made peace between her hus- bant1 and her son, Alphonso, who had taken up arms against his father. It is said that her husband tried her soreIy through his Jealousy and 1nfi- dehty. Throughout all this she re- mained patient and proved herself in- noeent of slandens that were directed against her. She built many relig- ious houses and charitable fnstftu- tions. She died at the age of 65, upi- versally mourned.

USE BLoTrING PAPER.

An excellent way to keep orna- rnents from marking a highly polish ed surface Is to paste soft plotting paper on the bottoms of them. No matter how often they are moved about by careless maids, no marks or scratches will result.
 A piece of plotting paper put under table mats wherever vases of flowers are to be set protects tho polish of the table from dew drops from the flowers or any dampness that seeps from porous pottery.
 To press out light grease spots a piece Of clean plotting paper placed under the fabric to absorb the grease will cause the spots to disappear, usually, when hot flatiron is pressed directly on the spot.
 When the children apply for "paint rags' for water color paints. q square of plotting paper is a fine sub stitute, for it absorbs the color and water from a wet paint brush inme- diateIy and is less messy" In dry ing paint brushes the same blotter can be used again.
 In cooking greasy things. such, as croquettes, doughnuts and potato chips n large square of clean plotting paper on which to drain these foods as they come out from the frying ket- tie helps mako them more appetiz- ing, healthful and daintiar to look upon.
 When water is spilled upon any delicate table cover an immediate ap- plication of fresh plotting paper will preserve it in good condition. When any liquid is spilled upon the table cloth small square blotter will ab-

TRANSPARENT CROWNS.

Transparent crowns as well as small hats of black lace have been seen quite a bit about town this sea- son especially since the weather has been warmer. The transparent crown of n1aIinc or malinc braid that shows the hair so plainly and almost gives tho effect of nothing over the hair at all, is becoming very popular; these are made with just a roll of fabric. either tafeta, faille or haircloth about the sides and the maline stretched finely over the hair.

FELT CROWNS.

Felt crowns on large sailors of black Milan are attractive, showing the felt crowns in all the bright sports shades. Sailors of white pan nel with black facings show the par tially draped crown. Then there are large cloches of velvet that have the brims Stitched closely in a pattern all over the brim and crown of contrast ing color; especially pretty in this model is the orange velvet shape that is stitched in black, and makes a good mountain sports hat.

FLOP HATS.

Georgette rather than satin or taf- feta hats arc bought The absence of the Panama hat has made itself felt. Apparently there is no call for them or else they would be featured. Large flop hats of peanut or chain straw flower trimmed Is a favorite. Most of these hats are bought un- trimmed and the flower wreaths bought in the department. It may seem paradoxical but in one store customer was seen buying a large hat of leghorn straw with a top vel vat f1anEe.

COFFEE WILL SUBSTITUTE
 FOR WINES AND C0RDIALS

Have gou paused to think what difference national prohibition will make in the family kitchen? Wines and cordials have long served as standard fayoring for various delec- table desserts which appeal particu larly to men.
 As Q substitute let us consider cor- fee. Men almost without exception are fond of coffee and the average household bill of fare is planned with a view to the likes and dislikes of the lords of creation.
 But here a word of warning: To get the best results in the use of cof- fee fiavoring it should be prepared just as carefully as you brew your coffee for the morning or afterdin- her beverage.
 Few Americans know the possibi1- ities of this aromatic berry as a fla vor. Our French neighbors across the sea consider coffee as a flavor per excellence, for desserts and confec- tions. To produce q superior coffee flavor in these articles of diet, a study should be made of the best method of extracting the desirable qualities from the bean, for the pre- dominating flavor obtained in the fin- ished product will depend upon the
 
 There is an erroneous notion that the long boiling of coffee extracts more of the strength and color, and is therefore more economical; but strength and color thus gained are obtained at the expense of flavor and wholesomeness.
 As one authority puts it: The strength and flavor of roasted coffee is ground out, and boiled out Cof- fee does not reach the consumer in the raw state but cooked" It has been roasted at least 20 minutes.
 The proportion of coffee to the amount of water used will, of course, determine the strength of the decoc- ton. As tastes differ greatly. no rules of measurement can be given. The briefest contact of the coffee and boiling water Is enough. Con- tinued 'stewing'' brings out undesir- able Havors.
 The recipes given below have been thoroughly tested:

 Yolks eggs
