is more effective than beads and the
simple outline stitch in combination.
To develop the design on the center
blouse, outline, solid satin or French
knots may be used. This consists of a
border formed by two straight lines,
interrupted at orderly intervals with
scallops formed Of tiny squares, with a
pendant hanging from each square.
The design may be turned up or down,
as the fancy dictates.
Lazy daisy, long-and-short or out

vest and turn-back collar finishing the
square neck, is in henna crepe Geor-
gette, embroidered with beads and
silk in self-color. In the pattern are
two duplicates each of three large
motifs and eighteen smaller ones. In
addition to blouses, the motifs are
adapted to the decoration of suits,
dresses, tunics, collars, belts and
pockets. They are also equally at
tractive on light or heavy fabrics. Out

than is the crepe de Chine used for the
outer waist and hounces. Color is handled
with charming results in all Of the models
for the coming season, and it is pre-
dicted that the Southern resorts will see a
great deal of red and white in addition
to black and white combinations.
In many Of the afternoon dresses
neutral shades are selected and they make
an effective background for the charming
combinations of color in the'embroideries
and headings so extensively employed
in the decoration of modish costumes.

dainty affair carried out in flesh color
crepe Georgette. The embroidery
could be done in silk, wool or chenille
embroidery. The popular fancy, how
ever, is for a combination of two
materials and for sheer fabrics nothing
is prettier than rope silk and Chine
ribbon. The lower part of the blouse is
gathered to a deep band which forms
girdle. At the back a string belt Of
ribbon is tackled to either side Of the
band and tied in a smart bow.

SALADS IN SEASON

Salads should form a part of the daily
menu throughout the year. It is not
necessary to have fresh and green things
for all salads; the cold cooked vegetables
are equally good-asparagus-tops, peas,
beans, Brussels sprouts, cold potatoes cut
in dice with pieces of cold beets, or any Of
them mixed, together with sliced olives or
pickles; even small pieces of bread, when
there has been nothing else at hand, have
been known to make a very satisfying
salad.
The dish for many salads should be well
rubbed with a raw onion or a cut Glove OF
garlic. Such a salad becomes, after one has
learned TO like it, if one does not find it
toothsome in the beginning, dish as FIT
for the gods as, and more nutritious for
human beings than, the ambrosia Of fable.

sugar, one lemon, six sweet oranges, one
pound of lump sugar, one cupful Of
water, three eggs, and two tablespoon
fuls Of chopped nut-meats. Wash the

bring it to the boil. Then drain off all
the water and add to the rice the milk
the grated rind of the lemon and one
half of the granulated sugar. Let the

a saucepan with the lump sugar and the
water. Boil quickly until the sirup is
about as thick as honey. Peel the

rice is cooked and has been allowed to
cool, add to It the beaten yolSs of the
eggs. Stir the mixture over the fire for
few minutes to cook the eggs. Put a

in the center and strain the sirup over
them. Beat up the whites Of eggs to a

sugar and beat for three minutes.
Then pile this meringue over the
oranges, and set in a cool oven until
slightly colored. Sprinkle the nuts over

JAPANESE FISH
WITH TRAINED BIRDS

Did You know when a Japanese
goes fishing he doesn't get a long
pole, a can of bait, and a bottle Of
shine on his hip? He goes to his
coop, gets out his favorite bird and
then on the banks of the creek or
pond he releases his bird and the bird
brings in the fish Just the same as
younr pointer or setter brings in the
game after you have killed it. This
little act was revealed on the screen
last week when Birds of The
Marshes" was shown at the Opera
House. You see the bird dive down
into drove of perch, catch one in
his bill and return to the surface, de-
rosit his fish and return to the water
again. A ring is placed around the
BIRDS neck to keep him from swal-
lowing his catch
