GOOD SALADS.

Parsnip Salad.-Boil the parsnips,
slice them, dredge them with -four
and fry them brown, then cool and
serve on watercress sprinkled with
chopped boiled ham and hard boiled
eggs with French dressing.
Mixed Vegetable Salad.-This sort
or salad for luncheon may be com
posed OF any leftover vegetables.
neatly cut up and served on lettuce
leaves. served with French or mayon-
naise dressing. Nowadays, il is d
good plan TO make mayonnaise with
a little of the more expensive vege-
table oils, and the rest of the cheaper
sorts: that is, you can use quarter
Of a cup of peanut or olive oil and
then make the rest of the cup up of
some much cheaper oil. The little
peanut or olive oil used will give
favor.
Pepper Salad.--Green peppers sug-
gest themselves in all sorts of guises
In salads. Their crispness of favor
and their decorative value give them
high value. They may be used either
In shreds or in rings, and to cut them
10 best advantage a vegetable rhred-
der is useful. They can be used with
lettuce alone or in combination with
nuts. cheese or fruits. A particularly
effective salad is made by placing a
section OF a grape fruit, then strip
OF pepper and then section of
orange on a lettuce leaf. Chopped
pepper and celery mixed with mayon-
uaise is a toothsome combination.

C0LORED SAIL CLOTH FOR
AWNINGS.

Do you want 10 know a secret?
Here il is. You know that heavy
cOlored sailcloth that is used by
Nenetians TO make sails from? II is
colored brilliantly. sometimes orange,
sometimes red. And il is sold by
some few shops in this country for
awnings. Here is the secret: You
can buy the heavy cloth uncolored-
awning cloth or heavy unbleached
cotton And then you can paint it
10 the desired color. You buy paint
plenty Of H. for the cloth absorbs
a great deal OF it-in the desired
color. an oil stain that dries without
a gloss. And then you stretch the
cloth down on the floor of the cellar.
perhaps. or the attic. over papers
spread out under ii. and YOU go 10
work with a medium-sized brush and
apply your color evenly. Let the
cloth dry thoroughly. II there are
any little irregularities of color
caused because you do not apply il
quite evenly. they surely won't mat
ter. They will be simply an evidence
or that handwork which to many per-
sons nowadays is so important. The
color will probably soak through, but
both sides should be painted, as the
soaking is uneven.

When Queen Is In the Garden Hanging Out the Clothes
whether She BE Mistress or Maid She
Longs for All the Contraptions
That Make for Easy Work.

tn these days OF electric washing
machines. there are young house
keepers who take general house
workers that refuse to have anything
to do with the laundry work.
Does that mean that these young
housekeepers spend six or eight dol
lars week to get the clothes washed
and ironed?
No!
II means that they do the washing
themselves.
Really. an electric washing machine
s. an easy thing TO run. II is an in
teresting thing 10 run. as well as an
easy one. And many a young house
keeper has a woman in once every two
weeks 10 iron for day. and herself
puts the clothes through the washer
every week. laying aside everything
that needs ironing for the once in two
weeks ironer. II takes a few moro
clothes mon hand to do this. but that
is all. Sometimes the young house
keeper runs a mangle for the flat pieces
herself
Now there arc all sorts of ways and
devices for making the hanging out of
clothes to dry an easier matter. For no
matter how many washing machines
and manEles there may be. clothes
must be hung 10 dry by hand.
This is pleasant work IL one looks
az II in that way. And whether mis-
II
looked at in that way
To begin with the drying yard
should be a pleasant sort OF place,
whether Il is fitted with lines strung
on posts or with some sort OF clothes
reel
Then there should be some sort CT
convenient method OF holding the
clothes pins. some iaundresses prefer
shallow bags that may he pinned Sc
curely 10 the clothes line Some like
deep pocketed aprons. Some like deep
bags with a slit in one side through
which the clothes pins may be reached.
There should always be plenty of
pins. clean and fresh. There are ad-
mirable little clips that come for hang
ing finer clothes on the line. There is
supposed 20 be less danger of torn
clothes II these clips are used. They
are Of course suitable for only the
lighter garments. but those are always
the ones most easily torn.
There should also be some short line
thar can be hurriedly strung up in a
corner OF the garden or on a side or
back veranda. where things may be
dried without the trouble of putting
the big reel or the long line in place.
And don't forget a sunhonnet One
really Is tremendously helpful in ward
ing or sunburn and freckels. and IL it
IS made attractively il is likewise a
becoming thing to wear.

Distinction in
Children's S Clothes

TT is an almost unfailing rule that
the better the class of the child the
more simply she is dressed. The
silks and satins, taffetas and chiffons
are not usually for the children Of
families OF distinction.
A good many mothers OF good taste
now choose to dress two little girls or
two little boys near OF an age in the
same sort OF clothes. Doubtless the
child would rather have clothes of his
own selection. unlike those OF the
brother or sister. but at the same time
two sisters dressed alike can never ex-
perience the unhappiness of prorering
the clothes Of the other to their own.
A boy and girl in the same family may
also be dressed somewhat alike with
very pleasing results. For instance, a
little girl of eight and her brother of
six wear for every day sweaters CT
heather mixture with blue and white
kindergarten cloth. The little girl has
a bloomer froci while the boy has
suit cut in Oliver Twist style.
For afternoon they wear white
sailor suits, the upper section being
alike in trimming of black and red
There are navy serge coats and black
straw hats to go with these suits
One principle at least ought to be
observed in dressing your children.
See that certain principle of dress is
followed out in dressing them all The
effect is far better If you do this. For
instance, If one child wears socks there
is no reason why they should all not
except in the case that one of the
children is too delicate The same
general type of shoes should prevail.
1t gives an effect Of Inconsistency to see
one child dressed in plain dark straw
hat and another of the same family
nearly this same age dressed in a light
straw hat festooned with flowers
Some mothers dress their children
entirely differently. making as their
excuse that their children's tastes are
different One child is content with
the plain straw hat. while the other
insists on having a light hat flower
trimmed. Now, in reality. If you per-
nit yourself to be guided by the taste
and judgment Of your children in
selecting their clothes you will be led
far astray. You are really serving
their interest better when you insist on
making selections for them.

Easily Made
= Organdies
This Fabric of Fashion Is An Easy
One to Work With.

" HE vogue for organdies and other
crisp fabrics is especially graft
fying to the home dressmaker.
Compared to cotton voiies that so long
held favor in summer dress fabrics tn.
organdie has many advantages for the
woman who makes her own clothes.
And there are women who would never
attempt home dressmaking under ordi-
nary circumstances who have been
persuaded to try their luck and skill In
these new fabrics.
They Arc Easy TO Cut.
Compared with softer fabrics or
CANDIES are easy to cut out They lie
perfectly straight and their crispness
makes 1t possible 10 cut on crease
For instance. when ru.fies or bandings
are wanted you have hut 10 crease on
a thread and the crease stays in place
to guide your scissors.
Organdies need little trimming. Ruff
ning of the same material or white on
color is often adequate Sometimes
pipings or facings OF organdie of con-
trasting color forms attractive trim
ming. The fchu type OF frock with
rufrfed elbow sleeves suggestive OF
Dolly Warden styles is generally be-
coming and one that is easy for the
home dressmaker to manage
One Frock to Copy.
One imported frock of green or
candle that would not be hard for the
home dressmaker had a foundation
skirt. straight and fairly scant, of
white organdie with a hem that
reached nearly 10 the knees. The over
skirt was fuller and was laid on in two
side pieces that met at the back and
parted a little in the front These
were bound down the front and along
the bottom with pipings of white
organdie, and in the center of each
side was a large embroidered inset--a
flower design in white on white lawn,
possibly six or eight inches in diam
e.er. This was worked in the organdie
by hand. the organdie being cut out
beneath. The bodice OF this frock was
of crossoyer. fchu type, with wide
sash tying in an enormous bow at the
back.
A type OF organdie frock that is well
suited TO the slight figure is in straight
chemise style with short pufred
sleeves. These sleeves are finished
with a row Of two or three tiny ruffies,
and the bottom OF the skirt. which is
straight and scant. is also finished with
three narrow ruffies, one above the
other. The neckline is round, outlined
by single line of rufrfing and the
waistline Is rather low. defined by
ribbon sash.

Interesting shoulder scarfs are made
of marabou edged with cocque feath-

descent black and the marabou is
either black. natural-which in mar
abou means light brown-or seal

The conventional shape for the
marabou of the summer is broad in

Ostrich and cocque are also combined

Some OF the marabou is made into

There are some lovely perfume burn
ers made in the guise OF big boudoir
lamps with shades of rose or blue or

braid. These lamps serve the double
purpose of really giving light and Of
spreading a soft. sweet odor through
out the room where they are used.
Hats with straw hrims and crowns
made OF woolen scarfs. or brushed wool
fabric BY the yard are very effective.
Sometim there is contrast of the
colors of the hrim and the crown. but
more often a darker or lighter tone Of
the same color as the brim, is used for
the crown.

Making Tea
Making Easy
Have the Tray Ready and Always
Waiting.

W OU may have heard the woman
with three or four servants
= make the complaint that she
cannot serve afternoon tea. because
she is afraid OF the protests Of her
servants. Still you know other women
with one or no servant who never fails
TO serve the restfuI cup when you call
upon her in the afternoon II you plan
your equipment wisely tea-making
may be made very easy. Moreover.
many q maid would be quite willing
to set forth a simple tea tray any day
II il meant that she might have her
tea in the kitchen at the same time.
For the house~orSer is quite as subject
20 the midafternoon flag in strength as
you, and usually just as sensitive TO
the reviying powers OF tea as any one
else.
The Essential Tray
But whether you make your own tea
or ask your maid to do il you should
have il simple matter. IL you have
tea regularly or many times week il
is a good plan TO have a special set
OF tea cups and other dishes set aside
for it. These may be kept on q tray
by themselves. and replaced immedi-
dNI4s aAtSK Aneg arg N&SueAs Jlen set
away in the cupboard ready to be
taken down the next time.
There is difference of opinion as TO
the relative goodness OF tea ball tea
and tea made in teapot Those who
like their tea quite bracing prefer that
brewed in pot. You cannot get mach
OF the energizing quality from the tea
leaves by merely dipping a tea bah in
a cup or pouring boiling water through
il. IL you leave the tea ball In the cup
long enough to impart any great
strength your tea infusion win becoYae
cold. In the covered teapot il does not
become cold. though the water rests
on the tea leaves for FIVE or ten
minutes.
As to Tea Napkins
Paper napkins are for all ordinary
purposes quite satisfactory for tea
time. Especially if you are one Of
those who holds back from serving
tea because Of additional work YOU
should adopt the paper napkin habit
When merely tea and biscuits are
served, OF course no napkins are neceS-
sary, but huttered or cinnamon toast
or little cakes necessitates them.
In family OF several daughters or
other women it is good thing 20
make the tea getting duties fan upon
each in turn Each may serve a week
or certain days in the week. There is
always more satisfaction In this sort
OF assignment OF work than in a gen
eral understanding that every one will
help
