TVHE best thing one can say
about summer clothes for
children is that they are sim
pie, plentiful and clean. Their
simplicity makes their Clearly
abundance possible.
So, in planning child's sum-
mer wardrobe. don't begin at the
wrong end of the list. Begin by
choosing clothes that are simple liz
design. These will wear infinitely
better, especially so far as their
laundering is concerned. Especial
ly If you have mangle for inOning
clothes, keep this in mind when
making or buying your children )
summer clothes. If they are made
in the right way they can almost
all OF them be run through the
mangle satisfactorily.
For the small boy, trousers go
through the mangle nicely. Sim
ply fold them properly and run
them through. And his blouses if
they are made with the mangle in
mind can be run through with the
outmost ease. For very hot days
lopen-necked Jackets or blouses
with short sleeves are best, and
when these are cut Chinese fash
ion, with kimOno sleeves, and made
simply to slip over the head, with
an opening down the necessary
distance from the neck to make il
/ big enough TO go over the head,
/ the laundering task is of the sim
plest.
Even If you have no mangle,
such a suit is easily Numbered. for
il needs only the simplest sort of
ironing TO make it smooth and
presentable.
For little girls. rather scan,
boomers and plain over dresses
which may also be cut on the XII
mono plant, may be used in the
same way.

grown-ups may be run through the
mangle, and of course table an
bed linen and towels are quite as
good looking after mangling, care
fully done, as after ironing, care
fully done.
Thus, with a mangle, it is only
a few clothes that will need hanC
ironing.

If you want frilly frocks TO
children, then just make up you

least twice as long as the simpl'
things to launder. but if they ar,

Flowers in Your
House
NJ N \ \.

n RANT housewives make a rule
M never to have flowers in
Avn their house after really
warm weather sets in. That is,
just when flowers are most luxuri-
Gus and when If you have no gar
den you can get flowers from fields
and roadsides, then the housewife
puts a ban on flowers, for the rea-
son that they do not last so we'll i'll
warm weather and that the wa
ter in which they are kept is apt
TO become stale. Then too in warm
weather petals fall quickly.
But il really takes only a little
time TO keep ones flower vases in
order. Perhaps ten minutes eve:y
morning will do it. In the first
place no flowers ought to be al
lowed TO stand in unchanged wa
ter for more than twenty-four
hours. The flowers last better il
the water is changed and stagnant
water arOnud the stems actually
becomes putrid if not changed. All
vases should be taken TO the
kitchen or pantry as part of the
mornings work. The water should
be changed, faded blossoms re-
moved and the stems washed off in
running water. If you clip littl,
off the end of the stem each day
the flowers will last much longer.
Sometimes when you gather
flowers from your garden or the
fields they are wilted before you
can get them indoors. IL is best
not 10 put them directly in vases
They should be put in deep basin
of water, sprinkled and set in a
shady or dark place to get back
their freshness. They are then
much more easily arranged than
when they are still dropping.
/ All vases should be kept very
clean. For this reason it is bet
ter to use plain glass vases thar
elaborate china or metal vases tha'

pie vases.
Field flowers often look better
on your living porch than in you

unless their taste has been trained

simple garment is preferred. They
like the things that are comfort
able, and usually the palmer things
are more comfortable, and don't
call for so many admOnitions to
carefulness on the part Of the
child as do the fussier clothes.
One other thing to remember in
planning children's clothes with
regard to the laundry and that IS
that it pays TO get reliable colors.

WYE have heard so much in
" favor of n milk diet for
children that we sometimes
seem TO feel that il is impossible
to feed children properly without
n supply of fresh milk. 1t is not
so easy. surely. But it is quite
possible to keep up high standard
of health. at least for a short time,
! II children are in normal health.
But remembr this thing. If you
Curtail the amount of fresh milk
in your children's diet you must
be sure they have plenty of fresh
fruits and vegetables. They should
also have fresh butter if possible.
The reason why fresh milk is so
necessary in the feeding of infants
is because they are not old enough
TO take the food ingredients neces
sary from fruits and vegetables.
II is mistake to let the child
deprived of milk make up on
breads and other starchy foods be
cause these do not form real sub
stitutes for milk when taken alone.
They must be used in connection
with the starches.
There are so many good sorts
OF condensed evapOrated and
powdered milk on the market now
that one sometimes has difficulty
in selecting from them. One thing
remember when you use the milk
powder that is to notice whether
hey are labeled as being made
from full or skib milk. The skim
milk powders are suitable for use
in cooking where butter is used or
where fresh skim milk would be
used.
One of the first things that the
housewife or mother of family
should ask when she goes away in
the summer is anent the milk sup
ply. Perhaps milk dealers at sum-
mer resorts take advantage of the
fact that most of us are very con-
fiding creatures concerning milk.
We somehow feel that the laws are
such that IMPURE or improperly
kept milk is an impOssibility, SO
we buy any milk we see and ask
no question.
But in spite Of all effort to i'm
prove the milk supply in every
state in the union, it is still quite
possible to find milk that is not
pure and that, if not actually dan
gerous, is at least unwholesOme
You should be as careful TO in
quire as TO the milk supply in q
hotel or boarding house as when
you keep house yourself. Especi
ally should you exercise this pre-
caution when you are providing
for children.

With I.eft-overs

Wherever there is knitting going
on there are bound 10 be leftover
bits of yarn and now that we knit
gaily colored sweaters and scarfs
these yarns are sure TO offer
tempting outlay. Often you can
get quite a collection of these left
over bits Of yarn merely for the
asking.
The old-fashioned way to dis
pose of these bits of yarn was 10
make them into crazy-quilt af-
ghans. Usually these afghans were
crochetted into squares, each one
using three or four different col
ors.
Now leftover yarns may be
found very useful in making
wooden embroidery for frocks,
which is still in favor among de-
signers. Wooden flowers are not
difficult 10 make, and they are as
appropriate for summer hats as
for those Of winter.
Often little bits of yarn may be
made use of in making scarfs. For
scarfs are very much in demand
and they show verieJy of colors.
Children delight in skating scarfs
or muftiers. made of a medley Of
different cOlored yarns.
One woman who had a good sup
ply Of gay yarns on hand made
them into dolls sweaters which
she presented TO the doll table at
charity bazaar. and there they
were sold 10 good advantage with
out difficulty.
Women who learned TO make
soldiers socks during the war
have often truned their knowledge
TO account in knitting winter socks
for their children. These usually
have cuffs at the top that turn
down past beneath the knee. and
often in plain socks these cuffs are
decorated with stripes Of some
bright-colored yarn.
Some OF the new scarfs are
knitted lengthwise. with all the
stitches set up at first. and with
the cOlored stripes running length
wise.

4 FTER seven or eight years OF
"a popularity, sweaters seem to
4 = be as much in evidence at
summer resorts this season as
ever, and taking women the coun-
try over there is more knitting OF
sweaters now than ever before.
The fact that on certain beaches
or at certain resorts, where only
women who dress most extensively
gather, sweaters are perhaps not
so much in evidence az they were
once, has little to do with the con-
dition at most places where we'll
dressed women gather.
The younger set OF young
women, college and boarding
school girl and girls fond OF OUT
door sports, are the unremittant
advocates of sweaters.
The persistence OF sweaters Is
something that ought to delight
every woman who can ply knitting
needles and every woman inter
ested in economy in dress. During
hours Of summer vacation time
many women actually enjoy
sweater making and there is the
satisfaction nowadays that one IS
doing something well worth while

Steaming Is Good

Some goodness also goes off In
the water in which potatoes are
boiled. If they are steamed almost
nothing is lost. And of course if
they are cooked in their skin none
goes off in the water. If you adopt
the method described above of
peeling them when par-boiled, it Is
best to continue cooking by steam
ing. If you do not then use only
little water and if possibly make
use of this either in making vege-
table stock for soup or in using for
cream sauce with which the pota-
toes are served.

Milk in Summer

is expensive there is no reason why
you should not use these canned
or powdered milks for all cooking
and if care is taken in following
the directions for making milk
from these preparations the flavor
is usually not found Objectionable.
In the diet of children when
fresh milk is not given you should
be sure that they have enough
fruits and vegetables in their diet
and then little or no objection can
be found to the substitution oi
these milks for the fresh sort.

The cocarde Is a singularly sue
cessful bit of hat decoration. 1t Is
especially well adapted to the
rather simply trimmed hats OF the
season. when so much depends on
the shape and texture of the hat
itself. A big cocarde of heavy
ribbon skillfully placed makes a
distinctive hat.
1t is not only on hats that
cockades are used. They take the
place of fancy buttons and buckles
on slippers and they are widely
used for girdles and belts. Some
times one with long ends is placed
at the hip, and sometimes a series
of smaller ones goes about hips or
waist to form the girdle.

cessfully does not seem like
a difficult matter. In fact to
some people the matter permits of
as little diversity of method as
simply boiling water. But the fact
is that there are ways and ways Of
boiling potatoes. A housewife the

she recommended a maid because
of her ability to boil potatoes well.
