Women seem to have become much
addicted to wearing neckpieces of
many kinds. A little journey through
shops and departments that carry
neckWear reveals such a world of it
and such variety of it that there
must be great demand for all kinds
of neckwear. Many Of the pieces are
intended to replace summer furs.
These include scarfs made of pushes,
ostrich bOaS, ostrich capeS and capes
of marabout feathers or marabout fin
ished with ostrich fringe. This os-
trich fringe, which appears like mara
bout in black, white and natural color,
IS used in borders and bands in scarfs
of gold and silver tissue.
Some of the new pushes used for
scarfs do not attempt a close imita-
ton of fur but suggest the most pop
lar summer furS, as ermine and broad
tail and moleskin. Besides these
there are some handsome satin scarfs
and capes trimmed with narrow bands
of real fur, shown with hats to match
like the smart affair that is shown at
the right of the two figures above.
Rich silk tassels and silk embroidered
motifs put this in a class with the
handsOmest furs.

FUNERAL A PICNIC FOR DOG
Rover Had Quite a Good Time While
on His Way to His Last
Resting Place.

A big picnic was planned and l was
slated to transport the refreshments
and crowd of relatives to the picnic
grounds, writes a correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune. l placed the boxes
and baskets containing the sand
wiches, cake, fried chicken, etc, in a
trailer, hitched the trailer to my car,
already filled to overlooking, and start
ed gayly on my way.
A huge dog belonging to my aunt ac-
cOmpanied US, and had the misfor-
tune to run the heavily loaded ma
chine over him, killing him instantly,
as we all thought. My aunt was deep
ly affected and insisted that l take
ROvers body along and bury it be-
side the river. | loaded the dogs car
cass into the trailer and started on
again. but not so gayly.
When we reached the picnic grounds
and reconnoitered in my trailer l be-
held Rover sitting up licking his chops,
as large as life, or larger, l should
say, for he had devoured all our pro-
visions.

1t has the appearance of suit with
skirt and short box coat belted in. But
the coat turns out to be only bodice,
with fronts heightened below the mar
row belt and disappearing Mt the sides
under a seam in the skirt. 1t has
satin vest, prettily embroidered, and a
few very large bone buttons emphasize
its novel features. They are set along
the side seams in which the jacket
fronts lose themselves and on the odd
lapels into which the collar lengthens.
Wool velour is an ideal material for
a dress of this kind.
The girl who aspires to look tall and
slender should consider the long lines
and simple composition of the dress at
the right. The picture portrays 1t with
SO much fidelity that there Is nothing
that needs to be said about it. An I'M
derskirt Of silk, with border of CLOTH
has the effect of separate skirt. but
the all-day dress is, above all things,
convenient to put on, and this skirt is
merely the lower part of foundation
that supports the dress. Any Of the
familiar and reliable wool suitings will
serve to make these dresses.

side. This will take away the weight
and dread of splitting food.
Gruels are such important foods
for the ill that it is fitting that
thought should be put upon their prep
aration. For a liquid diet all cereals
are prepared in the same way, using
two to three tabespoonfuls to a quart
double boiler and strain before serv-
ing. A thick cereal is cooked as for
breakfast food, but cooked a long
time.
Chicken Broth.-A good broth may
be prepared from the neck wing tips
and feet of a chicken. Scald the feet,
removing the skin and nails. Cover
with cold water adding celery and let
1t simmer gently for two hours. Sea-
son and strain.
Mutton Broth.-Cut one pound of
the neck of mutton in small pieces.
Cover with cold water and simmer
gently for several hours. Season and
strain through a cheeseclOth. Add
tablespoonful of boiled rice or barley
at serving time. This adds to the
nourishment All fat should be re-
moved before serving. Chill, then re-
heat after taking off the fat.
Dreamed Sweetbread s.-SOak a pair
Of sweetbreads in cold water an hour,
changing the water several times.
Simmer in hot water until tender.
Add salt and a few celery leaves for
flavor. When done dip in cold water
and separate into small pieces, remOv-
ing the membrane. Save the broth in
which they were cooked as it makes
delicate soup, adding a little milk and
seasoning. Put the sweetbreads into
cream sauce and serve on toast or
In ramekins.
Lemon JeIIy.-Soak tablespoonful
of gelatin in three tablespoonful Of
cold water; add three-fOurthS Of a
cupful of boiling water and four ia
blespoOnfuls of lemon juice and five
tablespoonfuls Of sugar. Stir until dis
solved. Pour into a wet mold and put
on ice to harden. This makes two
servings.
Plain Sponge cake.-Beat two eggs,
separating whites and yOlks; add one
half cupful of sugar, and a tiavoring
of lemon juice and rind to the beaten
yolks; then add the whites and fold
In One-half cupful of flour: Bake in
moderate oven until the cake
shrinks from the pan.

One-pieCe dresses, to be worn In
place of suits in and out of doors, re-
ceved a great boost during the war.
When tailors became scarce and the
work of making street clothes went
into the hands of dressmakers in Paris,
the one-piece "all-day" dress began to
replace suits. With the approval of
Paris upon it, this style of street dress
made great Roadway in America and
appears to have established itself.
The all-day dress, as it IS called. ap-
pears, together with new suits, In the
early showings of fall styles, some
times having much the appearance Of
q suit and sometimes wholly different
from one. These two types are shown
together In the picture above.
These dresses are made up in the
same quiet colors and of the same ma
terials as suits, although colors cover
a wider range than are usually pre-
sented in suits, and there Is more lati-
tude In the matter of decorations.

comes one which takes finesse on the
part of the menu planner. The prep
aratioh of a leftover into an appetiz-
ing dish takes vastly more thought
than the ordinary one, which is often
the reason why such dishes are not
acceptable they are prepared with
too little thought
The reason so many men balk at
salads is because they are used as the
clearing house for leftovers. There is
something out Of balance with a per-
son who has not learned to enjoy crisp,
well-blended salads, or well-cooked
and seasoned vegetables, but no one
can be blamed for refusing unattrac-
tive food.
In meeting people and making
friends we try to be as agreeable as
1t is possible to be. Why not use the
same method in combining foods, by
putting a little originality into the
seasonings, and make new dish vel
come?
We have favorite foods as we have
favorite friends, yet 1t is not possible
nor wise for us to always be served
with the foods we like best or asso-
ciate with people always agreeable.
Daintiness should be the keynote in
the serving of the summer meal, as at
tractive dishes sharpen the appetite.
BY following the advice of Horace
,bo -
times as long as usual, the appetite is
satisfied with smaller amount of
food and the body has less waste to
throw off, thus saving wear on the
human machinery. Eat less, work
more, worry less, walk more" is a
good ,notto for the whole year as we'll
as for not weather.

who urges her guests to remain to a
meal which she is wildly planning in
the back of her head, will lack the
ring of true sincerity, no matter how
carefully wOrded.
With a well-stOcked emergency shelf
which is constantly repleniShed, if she
lives in the country or too far from
grocery store an impromptu guest
will bring no panic, but on the con-
trary will be welcomed and enjoyed.
The list of staples to be kept for such
occasions will vary with the taste Of
the householder. There are some
things which are necessities, such as
crackers, cheese, pickles, olives, iel-
lies and preserves. With canned fruit
which is found in every well-regulated
home, desserts and salads of various
kinds may be quickly prepared a
few frllls like a box of marshmallOws,
a bottle (small One) of marischino
cherries and cOconut will dress up an
otherwise plain dish.

to prepare something fancy, both she
and her guests would be far happier.

small amount of meat may be used in
preparing the croquettes or they may
be made entirely of vegetables.
Cold fruit soups, fruit salads and
fruit cocktails are especially satisfy
flying on hot day. Iced drinks Of
various kinds are always welcome. For
a luncheon or supper, sandwiches with
any desired filing, sliced cold roast
beef, olives and radishes or small
onions well chilled, dish of ice cream
or a sherbet and a cake will make
satisfying meal for anyone. Vegetable
soup, crackers, omelet creamed pota-

Rhubarb Puddng.-Spread bread
with butter and cover with a layer of
cut rhubarb; sprinkle with sugar and
repeat until there Is enough for each
to be served. Add a little water and
bake until the rhubarb Is well cooked.
Cherries or other acid fruit may be
used In place of the rhubarb. Sponge
cake with sweet berries may be treat
ed in the same way, making most
wholesome dessert that you need not
fear to give to the children.
Rich desserts and sauces, fat and
highly seasoned meats, should be left
out of the menus during hot weather.
A supper dish that is economical
and wholesome can be prepared from
cupful Of cooked rice with three or
four eggs. Put the rice with little
milk into saucepan, add the eggs,
stirring them into the mixture. Cook
slowly, aid a bit of butter, salt and
pepper and serve hot in place of scram-
bled eggs. This will save three or four
eggs, which, without the rice, would

IMPROVED ROADS IN QUEBEC
In Five Years Government Spent $15,-
774,369 for Development and
Improvement

The development of good roads in
Quebec is a subject at present much
discussed from one end of the prov
ince to the other. In the five years
from 1911 to 1915 the Quebec govern
ment spent $15,774,369 for good roads.
The following figures show the num-
Der of miles of roads systematically
maintained by the municipalities of
Quebec, with the aid of subsidies from
the government of the provinces: In
1907, 1000 miles; in 1909, 1000 miles;
in 1911, $500 miles; in 1918. $4,000
miles; in 1916, $4,000 miles. Since
1911 more than 1924 miles of mac
adam and 497 miles of gravel roads
have been made in Quebec.

MAINTAIN ROAD AFTER BUILT
Improper Methods Have Placed Eco
nomical Types in Disrepute,
Says Colorado Expert.

Prof. u. B. House of the Colorado
Agricultural College is a firm believer
in the Importance of maintaining a
road after it is built. He supplies the
following, taken from The Engineer
ing News-Record, and says of it sit Is
so true and hits the nail so squarely
that 1 quote it direct: .
."The tendency in road improvement
is to select types of roads which re-
quire very little annual maintenance.
The general feeling among laymen
seems to be that when a road surface
requires some annual maintenance to
keep it in good shape, it is an expen-
sive type and should be avoided. Yet,
if the interest on investment and the
repairs are taken into consideration,
the cheaper wearing surface may in
many cases prove to be the more sat-
isfactory and economical.
at Is not uncommon to see roads of
a good type constructed and then.
to see them neglected entirely OF some
method of repair or maintenance i'm
posed which has been found by long
practice to be defective. When we see
mud holes in earth roads filled with
riprap, crushed stone or cinders, 1t is
not the engineers fault that an enor-
nous price is paid for the repair mate
rial; the road engineer knows that
proper drainage, and repairing with
earth from the side of the road, are
the economical methods of mainte-
nance.
"Old gravel and macadam roads are
often repaired by filling ruts and de-
p%ressions with inferior material that
is readily displaced by traffic or
