CLOTHES FOR THE WEE TOTS
Green Apparently the Popular Summer
Color for Bingham and Cham
bray Garments.

Warm weather is bringing out some
charming little wash frocks for the wee
tots summer wardrobe. These are diff
ferent, too, from the wash frocks which
little girls have been wearing under
heavy winter coats. There are new
ginghams, for instance, with straight
lines or long-waisted effects of green
and white check, the skirt made
straight and the bodice on the bias
or vice versa. Green seems to be the
popular summer color for Bingham and
chambray.
Organdie is more popular than ever.
It is made now in a brilliant red
palm Beach" it is called-and re-
lieved with white net footing, or white
rickrack braid. SO dainty are the little
frocks and so simple that one forgets

color for children.
There is a great deal Of colored en-
broidery used on fine white wolfe,
Batiste and linen frocKs for little girls.
Pockets are added and sleeves are cur
tailed.

NOW USING LACE AND LINEN
Materials Find Way Into Various At.
tractive Articles Necessary
for Home Decoration.

This year, says DelineatOr, lace is
used in boudoir for chaise-longue GOV.
ers, for boudoir pillows and bed,
spreads. 1t is used, too, for the table.
A very sensible style has decided that
old pieces of odd lace can be made up
into a sort of patchwork cloth or set
of doilies.
Linen is in good taste, also the I'M
pretentious substitutes that modern
housewives are using these days Of
limited materials and curtailed help.
There are crocheted doilies, easy to
launder, and the embroidered natural
colored linen sets, consisting of two
oblong pieces that are simply laid one
across the other at right angles, the
one with the center design on top,
forming the centerpiece, and cleverly
shaped individual doilies that fill In
the spaces left by the centerpiece
which extend out to the table edge.
The most practical of all are the
luncheon sets Of hand-painted enamel.

MoPS FOR POLISHED FLOORS
One May Be Made of Old Stockings
or Any Discarded WooIem or
FlanneIette Material.

For oiled or polished, floors an oiled
floor mop is almost a necessity. Sew
eral makes can be found on. the mar
ket, or one may be made of old stock
ings or any discarded wooden or fan
nelette material. In Farmers Bul-
letin on Farm Home Conveniences,"
obtainable free from the United States
department of agriculture, the follow
ing directions for making such a mop
are given:
The material is cut into 1-ineh wide
strips, which are sewed across the
middle to a foundation Of heavy cloth.
This is fastened to an old broom ham
die or used in a clamp mop handle.
The mop, when finished, is dipped
into a solution made of one-haR cup
full of melted paraf1in and one cupful
of kerosene, and then allowed to dry.
To keep it moist 1t is rolled tightly
and kept in a paper bag away from
stoves or lamps.

EGYPTIAN SHADES IN FAVOR
Aneients Had Well-DeveIoped Ideas Of
colors and Wonderful knoWl-
edge of Line.

Thousands of years ago Egypt was
the center Of the worlds art and
learning long before the Greeks had
achieved civilization this ancient race
knew much of astronomy and geOm-
etry. 1t is within their pyramid-like
tombs that we find the first known
traces of linen.
Their sense of color was we'll de-
veloped, and the draped garments of
their women showed a wonderful
knowledge of line. This summer
among the seasons popular shades are
Egyptian red, blue and yellow, while
among the smartest of the frocks and
wraps are those which show a decid-
ed Egyptian influence.
Hats, too, reveal this same touch
the winged globe, that sacred symbol
before which the ancient Egyptian
bent the knee, often forming the
motif for the beaded or embroidered
ornaments which bedecked them.

on the garment. Silk garments should
be pressed very carefully; in fact,
sometimes hanging a silk dress over
a tub of steaming water will remove
wrinkles without actual ironing.
Washable white silk garments should
be washed and rinsed in lukewarm
water, wrapped in towel, and pressed
with a warm, not hot, iron. Handled
in this way they win not turn yellow.
Shoes, more than many other articles
Of clothing, need to be thoroughly
aired after wearing, to prevent perspi-
ration from rotting the lining. Keep
ing shoes on shoe trees or stuffed with
paper when not in use preserves their
original shape, and is especially neces-
sary if the shoes have become wet.
Intense heat is likely to crack leather;
therefore wet shoes should never be
dried under the stove or on a register
or radiator.
Cleaning Hats and Gloves.
A hat that is worn day after day
needs special care to keep it looking
neat. Careful brushing or, in the case
of straw hats. wiping with cloth
dipped in denatured alcohol win re-
move dust and freshen it. A new
band on a mans hat may postpone the
necessity of buying a new hat for
months. Trimmings on women's hats
that become loosened by wind or wear
should be sewed into place as follows:
Thread a long needle with coarse
thread or silk Of an inconspicuous col
or. Draw the needle from the wrong
side through the hat beside the loos-
ened trimming, leaving 2 or 8 inches
Of thread on the wrong side; pass the
needle up and down around the trim
ming and back to the wrong side of
the hat; pull the thread through, tie
the two ends securely and cut them a
quarter of an inch beyond the knot.
One method of cleaning kid gloves
is to rub the soiled parts with corn
meal, moistened with enough gasoline
to keep the meal from scratching the
gloves then dry thoroughly in the air.
The bulletin mentioned treats also
OF ways Of economizing in the selection
Of clothing, how to test textile goods,
and gives other suggestions Of value.

DO NOT THROW AWAY
PARTLY STALE BREAD
Different Ways Of Making Il
Quite Appetizing.
Good Plan to Cut off What Is Needed
at Meal and Place slices in Hot
Oven-Croutons Are Made of
Odds and Ends.

Toasting is the most common
method for making stale or partly
stale bread attractive, but it is by no
means the only one. If partly stale
bread is put into a very hot oven for
a few minutes it grows softer, prob
ably because the heat tends to drive
the water from the crust back into the
crumb, food specialists of the United
States department of agriculture say.
Such warmed-over bread is not as soft
and springy as fresh, but most persons
find it very appetizing. A good plan,
therefore, when bread has lost its
freshness, is to cut off what viii be
needed at a meal and place the slices
in a hot oven for few minutes just
before serving. In this way bread can
be used on the table which would or
dinarily- be considered too stale.
'Twice-baked bread" which is cut
bread placed in the warming-oven or
in pan on the back of the stove and
allowed to dry out slowly until it is
slightly brown and crisp throughout,
offers still another way of making
stale bread attractive. If desired, this
twice-baked bread may be crushed
with rolling-pin and used like the
ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. In
some localities this dish has long been
known under the name of rusks.
The little fried cubes of bread called
erputons, which are served with soup,
may be made of odds and ends of
bread. To save time, bread simply
broken into small pieces may be fried
either in deep fat or in pan (sauteed)
and used for the same purpose. Some
times bread crumbs fried in a pan are
used as seasoning or sauce for meat.
French cooks frequently put pieces of
stale bread in soups just long enough
before serving for them to soften; the
well-knOwn one, "crust in the pot, :"
(croute au pot), is simply atthin soup
with bread in it.
There are many ways of using stale
bread in cooking. Almost every good
cookbook gives directions for prepar-
ing soft and dry crumbs for use in
scaIloped dishes, bread buildings, etc.
The soft parts of bread may be used
in place of -four or cornstarch for
thickening soups, sauces, gravies,
stewed tomatoes (either fresh or
caRned), etc. Bakers often use stale
bread and dried, finely ground cake
in place of part of the flour in making
fancy breads, cakes and cookies. The
housekeeper can often avoid waste by
using them in this way in griddlecakes,
cakes, cookies, etc.

of the same material quite gay with
colOBed stenciling are also seen.
The strictly tailored suit skirt of the
spring suits alternates in favor with
the drapy, peg-topped ones that almost
billow about the shoetops. Fur bottoms
are on many of the skirts, and, in fact,
fur is profusely scattered over all the
more expensive suits. Plush and fab
ric limitations abound on the cheaper
suits, collars, cuffs and even belts are
made of fur alone. Suit materials are
velvets, pushes, velours de laine and
duvetyn, black. blue, gray and brown
are the leading cOlors.

Giving Immediate Attention

Men as well as women can help re-
duee the high cost of clothing. A lit
tie. care on the part of the wearer viii
do much to preserve clothing already
on hand, and thus eliminate the neces-
sity of spending large sums frequently
to replenish the wardrobe. This is
brought out in recent publication
of the United States department of
agriculture, Farmers Bulletin 1889,
Selection and Care of Clothing.
Immediate attention to rips, sewing
on loosened buttons and hooks, rework-
ing worn buttonholes, and preventive"
darning are recommended as means Of
,sColonging the life of a garment. The
litter repair measure consists of rein
forcing a worn place with rows of
fine stitches or by laying piece Of
cloth under it and darning it down
with raveling of the material. The
heels and toes of stockings and socks
especially may be treated this way
before hole is entirely worn through.
Shortening sleeves or trousers a lit
tie to do away with worn edge, or
putting new cuffs and collar or new
trimming on a dress may often add
months to the life of a garment.
To keep clothing looking ''as good as
new" as well as actually preserving
and lengthening its life, it is neces-
sary to keep it clean. Brushing with
a stiff brush for wooden clothing and
with a softer brush for velvet or silk,
is necessary to remove dust, and spots
and stains should be carefully treated
with, cleaning preparations as soon as
possible. In most cases this can be
done at home, but it is more econOmi-
cal to have professional cleaners han
die very delicate garments, Farmers
Bulletin 861 gives detailed informa-
ton on the removal Of stains from
different kinds of textiles.
Pressing Preserves Garments.
Preserving the shape of a garment
lengthens its service. Almost anyone
can learn to press clothing neatly.
Wooden clothing should be covered
with thoroughly dampened cloth and
pressed with a moderately hot iron
until nearly dry. If the cloth becomes
absolutely dry, shine is likely to appear

Mo Happy Medium Is Indicated by
Styles Arriving in Larger Cities
From Paris.

Its time to start altering last years
fciothes for next fall, or saving money
for new ones, advises a New York
fashion correspondent. The female
fnery districts of the larger cities are
now receiving the first shipments of
Partisan fan styles.
Suits and coats have changed ma
terially from those of the last winter
season. In suits, the new features are
choker or Robespierre collars, long,
ship-reduclng coats, lavish fur and pile
fabric trimmings, and loose mandarin
coat and kimonO sleeve.
A typical model for the fall of 1920,
much ogled in Shop windows, comes in
navy blue furs. The jacket is cut like
a loose kimonO with deep armholes ex-
tending into flowing sleeves which fall
over tight, long cuffs of moleskin; a
close-fitting choker collar is also used.
The kimono jacket is belted at the
back, but shorter and fuller than those
