FOR THE GARDEN.

If every amateur gardener should invest in garden fittings worth two or three or four or five dollars each year he or she would have a store worth while before many gardens have bloomed and faded. The five-dollar limit would make it possible to pur- chase this year one of the small hand cultivators which have digerent hoe and rake attachments. This cultivator will do all but the deepest and heaviest digging in a garden, which needs to be done only once in the spring. It is pushed along by two strong handles, and a wheel at the front of the culti- vator makes pushing it easy. Five dol lars would pay for a simpler long handled picker-a long handle with a little wire cage on the end and some strong wire fingers, which push the fruit into the cage-a bulb planter and a watering can which has two different nozzles.

Warm Weather
 -:- Ironing

@ NE very good way of making ironing cool work in summer is 0 not to do any more of it than is l necessar- IT your clothes have come in from fresh sunshine and wind it really is a shame to iron any of them that can possibly get along without ironing anyway Bed sheets really don't need ironing, and they take a long time and are not easy to do. They should be allowed to dry thoroughly in the air and sunshine and then should be brought in and folded with considerable care. Two persons should do this as they will need to be pulled and one person cannot manage this. See that they are folded perfectly even. If they are then laid under heavy weights the result is almost as satis-' factory as if they were ironed. How ever, if they are only laid in your linen closet they are smooth enough for most persons and once you have slept between sheets that are fragrant with the sunshine and air you will not want to sleep under any other sort. And of course ironing rather takes away this freshness.
 Bath towels do not need ironing and should not be ironed. Stockings are less to become linty if not ironed and it is unnecessary to iron any sort of woven underthings Kitchen towels never need ironing and if you are really very much pressed for time it is far better to let the ordinary hand towels for your bathroom go unironed than to feel that you must curtail your family in the supply of fresh towels in sum- mcr.
 An electric iron is, of course, far cooler than any other sort of iron, and if you have it attached in room where there is no cooking going on ironing is almost ideal. At all events you should never attempt to iron in a room where gas oven is lighted or where any hotter fire is being kept up than is necessary for the ironing
 Never iron to the point of extreme fatigue. If you must do your own ironing it is far better to spend a couple of hours early three mornings of the week on it than to spend six hours one day and then feel all done up as a result

 Porch Party

i" HE humblest country woman can
 have a porch party and in this
 she has an advantage over the woman who lives in hotels CT in a city apartment. And truly there is nothing more pleasant by way of summer aft ernoon's diversion than to gather on friends porch and there meet those of your neighbors who are congenial and interesting to you and at the same time to breath the fresh summer air and see the trees and hear the birds. However your porch Is located it should be shaded from the sun if it is not on the shady side of the house. Awnings. Japanese screens or vines. which give it shade, also give it look of coziness and pleasantness
 Have enough comfortable chairs so that each guest may be pleasantly seated. If the guests have been asked to bring their needlework, have we'll stocked work basket in evidence with supplies of needles, thread. scissors, pins, tape measures, and other sewing materials; and, for the benefit of the guest who forgets her work or who did not understand that she was to bring any, have some piece of unfinished em- broidery on hand that she may have something to do with her fingers.
 If the party is not to be a work party, some sort of entertaining game might be planned. It could be a mu sical party. The piano should be near window opening on the varanda, or if some member of the family or close friend can play mandolin she might be asked to help. Give each guest a small card and pencil. and on each card mark fifteen or twenty numbers. Then play as many selections from very familiar tunes-just a couple of bars picked out haphazzard from them After each number let each guest write her opinion as to the name of the tune played The resulting confusion of Yankee Doodle with Dixie. or Home Sweet Home with Sally in Our Alley will be amusing. The prize for the one who guesses the greatest number correctly might be a small plaster plaque of the head of some famous musician in relief. book on music or a biography of some one musical. or llttle paStebodrd DON, sndpeu Ike some musical instrument. filled with bon bons.
 On very warm days elaborate re- treatments are out of place. Some sort of water ice. served daintily in glass cups, placed on doilies on attractive serving plates. and accompanied with small sponge cakes. kisses, or crisp, appetizing cookies is sufficient refresh ment. Iced tea and sandwiches, of let tuce, watercress. or cucumbers, is an- other dainty combination

cuTours FOR CHILDREN.

There are all sorts of interesting cutouts for children that you can find in transfer patterns. You can with these cutouts embellish the clothes that children wear and tthe things with which their rooms are decorated-cur tains and bedspreads, table covers and cushions.
 One pretty little frock that charm ingly dressed little girl recently wore was made with white cotton ducks cut out and appliqued on her little frock with yellow thread. There were two of them. and they served as pockets, the upper edge being left unsewed. The result was really very pretty. And the same idea could be carried out with any other cutouts.

Midsummer Fabrics That Are
 Worth While

IF you are still in need of thin frocks to see you through the summer. you . have treat in store when you go shopping for the wherewithal to make them. For the shops are full of fas- cinating fabrics.
 One thing that is interesting is Eng fish sateen. It is suggestive of long ago, of course, in it's smooth finish and quaint small figures. It washes quite as well as any other cotton fabric, and yet it retains it's sheen after re- peated launderings.
 Then there are the equally quaint English prints, stiffer fabric. printed with replicas of the old hand blocked patterns of prints and calicos of our grandmothers' day. These prints are capable of being made into the most crisp and fresh summer frocks.
 There are good many worthwhile cotton crepes from Japan. One is the ordinary cotton crepe in plain colors. A frock made of this. perfectly plain, needs no trimming save attractive col lar and cuffs. This crepe is a little warm for very hot days, but for the cooler summer days it is admirable.
 There are also striped and checked cotton Japanese crepes that look espe- cially well made up into children's frocks. They are also suitable for grown-up clothes. but it is on children that these simple plaids and stripes look best.
 For thinner fabrics, there are some lovely voiles printed in a chintz de- sign, in soft rose and blue and yellow. The design is small and covers the ground of the fabric thoroughly so that although the colors are not heavy and the ground is light. it makes up into very durable frocks. In these days one must think of the laundry bills in buying any new clothes.

"HIS is the time of year-one of the times of year, at all events
 when window and porch boxes need attention. If they have been properly taken care of they are in fairly good condition, but doubtless they will be much better for a little extra care and attention now. p
 Of course, the most important thing to remember when you are trying to have successful window boxes is to fill them with good soil, first, and second, water them thoroughly and often. Even so, by this. time the soil is prob ably i'll need of replenishing. Some of it, perhaps, has washed away and so there is Ganger that the roots of the plants will become bare.
 The best way to replenish the soil is to go to the nearest woods and get the richest coolest, blackest, moldiest soil you can. The application of any sort of fertilizer. even the commercial ized sorts, directly to the roots of the plants-as it must be applied in the shallow and narrow confines of box is likely to bring disaster to the plants by burning the roots. But the addition of thick layer of soil from the woods gives new strength and life to the plants.
 If you cannot get really rich, mellow earth with which to replenish the boxes, mix whatever soil is at hand with little bone meal or other com mercial fertilizer. and add it in a layer over the whole top of the box
 Pruning and RepIantng.
 Pull off all dead leaves and twigs and toll hot rcitry cf or. dying Then fill in the spaces left with fresh plants. If you have a gar den you will easily find plants to sub- stitute for those in the boxes.
 Be careful not to spoil the color scheme you planned so carefully when you planted the boxes If you can with those already blooming in the boxes fill the bare spots with foliage plants English ivy is always satis- factory. and harmonizes with flowers of any color. If you have some little sweet alyssum plants. seedlings that are not yet ready to flower, you can and their fine white flowers fit in with any color scheme.
 If the whole boxful of plants seems WlliiCiCO, U " tAiiliS liie OONCS Willi marigolds of the dwarf variety. These will blossom all through the remainder of the summer and will even live through the first frosts.
 The knowing house planner and architect nowadays realizes the decor ative value of the window box and knows that he can more materially add to the effect of his house if he specifies well-filled window boxes than in any other way that represents so small an outlay. So many houses are built with attached window boxes on either side. These are made of cement or stucco, and are provided with drains so that all it is necessary for you to do is to see that they are filled with good earth and that the right sort of plants are set in them. Often a very ordinary house may be made to look quite in teresting if it is equipped with trim flower boxes on the porch or at the windows.
 Some of the new houses have most interesting substitutes for window boxes in the form of little wooden flower boxes big enough each to hold one good sized potted plant. red earth

Without Grinding

"H HE hardest thing about making ! ices and ice cream is the grinding
 of the freezer. No matter how
 well oiled the crank or how light the
 action of the machine it is hard work
 Moreover, it takes time to freeze the
 cream, remove the dasher, and pack it ! For very warm or busy days one oi l the creams which does not need grind
 ing is the easiest to make. These are
 roughly divided into mousses. glaces
 parfaits and biscuits.
 1 Mousse.-Mousse is as easy as any
 of them to make, and surely as de- l licious. It requires thick whipped
 cream. One sort that is refreshing is 1 grape juice mousse. To make it whip
 a. pint of cream until it is solid. Then add cup of grape juice. mixed with three -fourths of a cup of powdered sugar and a quarter of tes spoon of salt. Pour the mixture into a mould and pack in equal parts of ice and rock salt for three hours.
 Coffee mousse, too, is easy to make. Beat two eggs with cup of strong coffee and the same amount of granu- lated sugar. boiled together and cooled Add pint of stiff whipped cream and E. Pineapple mousse is a little more complicated in the making For it, use canned pineapple shredded. and heat a can of it and drain it of all the syrup To each cup of syrup add a tablespoon of gelatin (soaked in three tablespoons of cold water), two tablespoons of lemon juice and a cup of granulated sugar Strain again and allow 1t to cool. Then. as it cools and thickens, add quart of whipped cream. Pack for four hours.
 Parfaits.-White parfait the sim plest sort. To make it, boil cup of granulated sugar with third of a cup of water until it makes a thread. Thea your it slowly and carefully on the stiffiy beaten whites of two eggs. When this is cold, fold in a pint of thick whipped cream and tablespoon of vanilla.
 Caramel parfait calls for half a cup of granulated sugar cooked to the caramel state, and scalded with a cup of milk. To this add the yolks of three eggs, beaten with half a cup of sugar and little salt. Cook this mixture, stirring all the time. until it is thick, then add a cup of thin cream and cool Strain it, add two cups of whipped , cream, a teaspoon of vanilla and three tablespoons of strong coffee. Mould it and pack it in ice and salt.
 Parfaits should be served in glasses, with bit of whipped cream on the top of each glass.
 Angel Parfait.-This is a recipe given by the manufacturers of one of the latest and best of the four minute ice cream freezers. The amounts given make quart of the parfait. Boil to- gether until the syrup threads one cup sugar and one-third cup boiling water Pour slowly into the stifi1y beaten whites of two eggs and beat until cold. Whip to a stiff froth one pint double cream and fold into the egg mixture. Flavor with a scant tablespoon of vanilla extract or half a vanilla bean steeped in the syrup. Pour into a mould and pack in equal measures ice and salt. Let stand four hours. When ready to serve garnish with violets, fresh or candied. or rose leaves.

YHILE the amount of ice cream NM and other ices eaten in restau-
 rants and ice cream parlors has enormously increased within the past few years, far less ice cream is packed at the ice cream producers and deliv- cred to private houses This is due to the enormously increased cost of ice cream so delivered Many concerns that formerly were willing to send it packed in this way have actually given up this end of their business and those that continue have fewer orders be- cause of the great advance in price. And though many housewives still make ice cream at home the increa sed cost of ice and the high price of cream make this less interesting than it was some years ago.
 Meantime there are some desserts that can be made at home which, though they are not actually frozen, may be made very cold if kept near the ice for some time before serving, and they prove almost as welcome on a warm day as does ice cream.
