idea to have a few easily prepared
recipes with all materials In reserve,
as one is apt to forget the most I'M
portant detail in the f1utter of prepara-
ton.
An emergency shelf with cans, bot
ties, Jars and glasses OF good things,
besides pickles, relishes and preserves
from the fruit closet will tide over al
most any occasion.
Potatoes are always with us and
dish Of creamed potatoes with colo
meat, salmon, tongue or chicken may
all be easily served from can. Olives,
pickles, jelly or marmalade always help
out a meal.
When the main dish is well In hand,
salad materials may be gathered The
dessert may be simple-fruit, nuts and
raisins or dates and figs, or quickly
prepared hot dessert like shortcake,
steamed cherry pudding, or II the pas
try is ready in the ice chest, pie may
be quickly made.
Sponge cake, angel food, or any
plain white cake served with spoon
full of grated pineapple and topped
with whipped cream, makes most
tasty dessert.
Cherry Puddinq.--Take one cupful of
flour, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt,
one teaspoonful Of baking powder, add
ing enough milk to make drop bat
ter. Butter five small cups, drop IN a
spoonful of the batter and two table
spoonfuls of canned cherries, juice and
all; then another spoonful of batter,
leaving room In the cup for the mix
ture to rise. Place the cups in pan
with hot water surrounding them, cover
closely and steam fifteen minutes. Use
care in having water enough, but not
enough to boil over into the cups.
Serve turned out of the mold with
cream and sugar for the pudding sauce.
Rhubarb Pudding.-Spread slices of
stale bread with butter and lay in a
baking dish; cover each slice with fine
ly-cut rhubarb, adding as much sugar
as is needed; dot with few bits of
butter and repeat with another layer
of buttered bread and rhubarb until
the dish is full. Pour over enough
boiling water to soften (about half a
cupful), cover with a tight cover and
bake for an hour in a moderate oven
The last fifteen minues uncover. Serve
from the dish; there will be enough
sauce to serve with the pudding.

tingue Coral, the old-fashioned twig
form, has had revival. but it does
not "go' so well as some other things
in antique jewelry.
Amethyst has come back into style
and is still much worn by some wom-
en- who care especially for quaint
trinkets. Tortoise shell has been
fashioned into many beautiful chains
and brooches and stunning carved
pendants, but the taste for it Is re-
garded as a cultivated one, somewhat
moyenage, and its audience" is
limited.
The new bags, of which there are
so many, are attractive. Particularly
the avenue bags, generous in size and
elastic, as to capacity. They are
shown in expensive brocades, bits of
old tapestry, rare old embroidery and
needlework.
Among the sports things are shown
roomy bags of cretonne lined with
gay silks, with practical clasp and
handle. They should meet with the
approval Of every woman who shops,
or goes motoring for day, with all
sorts of toilet paraphernalia to carry.

tractive shade of gray or tan. The
old finish should, however, be re-
moved and the wood sandpapered
smooth before any paint is applied.
Choose a Good Bed.
A simple, painted-metal single bed
with a good mattress and spring is
desirable for young girl. A slip-on
cover of unbleached muslin is excellent
for keeping the mattress clean. The
pillow, like the mattress, should be
protected by thin, close fitting, wash
able cover between the ticking and the
pillow case.
An improvised dressing table can be
made by hanging a mirror over small
table. This Is to be preferred to dress
ing tables with dounces of cretonne
that collect dust. A bureau or chest
Of drawers is needed for storing cloth
ing and personal belongings. Bureau
and table covers should be as simple
as possible and always fresh and clean.
The chair should be comfortable to sit
in. A bookshelf and work table are
attractive touches. Some sort of ward.
robe or closet Is needed In which to
hang clothing. A good wastebasket
that will not tip over easily nor shee
dirt, should be provided.
Shades and curtains should regulate
but not shut out light and air. Sim
pie, durable, softly hanging materials
such as white or cream wolfe, scrim,
Swiss, or cheesecloth, hemmed or hem
stitched, make good washable curtains
which may have oyercurtains OF col
ored or figured material.
The lighting is important. For light
ing the bureau or dressing table an
electric light on drop cord or an in
verted gas burner gives a mich
better light If suspended over 1t, but Ii
kerosene ~ the only source OF light
available d bracket lamp fastened to
the wall at one side of the bureau gives
the best lighting. For reading, table
lamp is most satisfactory. One or two
well-chosen pictures, simply framed,
add to the room, but useless ornaments
only Increase the work of cleaning.

Planning for Next Year
to Avoid Past Mistakes

There isn't a housewife OF us who
isn't constantly making mistakes in
choosing the decorations for her home
and the adornment Of her person.
How many times, observes writer in
the Kansas City Star, we buy a new
frock or coat or hat, and then when
we get it home find we detest it. We
cannot wear the gray hat with the
golden brbwn silk dress; the orange
scarf makes the suit look faded, and
why. oh, why, did we ever pick out
that particular shade of blue! II
looked so different in the shop.
The same thing happens with hang
tngs. furniture coverings, cushions and
the furniture we ourselves painted
with so much effort The chintz we
have selected doesn't, after all, look
as we thought it would on the porch
chairs and swing. That paint is love
" in the sunlight, but gloomy In the
shadow, and, anyway, the summer sun
light is so different in color from the
pale winter sunshine, that 1t makes all
our fabrics change their effect. Now
next year
Why not plan now for next year,
Let's sit down, pencil and paper In
hand, and decide what we wish we had
done this season. This chintz will
fade. and next year we can do the
summer coverings over nearer to
hearts desire. If we try to remember
then what it looks like now, and what
we wish it looked like, we certainly
shall fail But If we write 1t all down
with suggestions of the colors anc
combinations we wish we had chosen
we shall be able early next spring tt
get exactly what we want.

1t matters not whether one chooses
costume deliberately styled of satin,
crepe de chine, taffeta, alpaca or other
favored fabric, or whether one prefers
plain-knit form-fitting bathing suit,
color is the dominating note. Indeed,
1t would seem as If 1t were almost
ones duty to wear gay color, since 1t
adds so much to the picture.
An interesting color scheme is
achieved in the smart bathing costume
worn by the beach-beauty posing I'M
der the Japanese parasol in the pic
ture. 1t is one of the new coat models
of American origination. Black satin
is the medium selected for its styling.
The coat is piped with white and like
wise monogrammed. The same worn

black and white.
The knit bathing suit does it's part
in accenting color, being a deep purple
with orange decorative design. The
gypsy-like silken square tied over the
hair is a bright crimson shade.

Accessories That
Contribute Charm
Necklaces, Pins, Bracelets,
Earrings, Pendants, Bags,
Buckles, Purses.

The supply of novel IDEAS in bead
jewelry seems inexhaustible, for new
things appear almost daily. Except
for formal occasions, observes writer
In the New York Times, few
women low trouble to wear real jew
els, or even real gold or silver, but
continue to amuse themselves with
trinkets of colored glass, or at best,
semi-precious stones.
Since these things have been ac-
copied seriously, artists of the best
class have devoted their talents TO de-
signing necklaces and pins, earrings,
pendants, bracelets and buckles Of
attraction. The number of pretty
things one finds is most diverting.
From time to time the speciality
shops feature some particular style
and color, and there is established
instantly vogue for that particular
novelty. Jade, probably, has had the
greatest popularity, and is still the
fad with many women. The really
smart ornaments now are made of the
white jade-a pale green-gray that IS
lovely, and is seldom successfully imi-
tated.
All of the agates are immensely
fashionable Lapis lazuli continues to
be favorite, though it is less fine
than some of the others. Rose quartz
is always in style and is shown In
many new designs. White, yellow and
blue quartz adornments are popular.
Aquamarine is enchanting in the neck
laces, collars and bracelets set in
silver or platinum, and in the big
lliamOnd-cut lavalliereS.
Amber is now, as always, a passion
with some who choose to be individual
in dress rather than to follow the
mode. Beautiful and unusual things
In amber are among the more import
ant novelties, for amber has a staple
value and dignity. The latest amber
necklaces are long, and the beads
large. Round and oblong beads are
equally good style. Likewise the clear
or the cloudy amber.
In the imitation stones the color is
more yellow than In the genuine, and

Umbrella Popular

The umbrella has attained an un-
precedented prominence as an adjunct
to the youthful toilette, due unques-
tionably to the lively models which
the principal designers are sponsor
ing. Some Of the smartest umbrellas
are Of plain brown or navy blue taft
1fetas and have carved wooden handles.
A very charming handle is made of
green snakeskin and is accompanied
by a hat which is made Of the same
skin. Extreme stubbiness and an
ornamental handle are the outstand-
ing characteristics of the new UNI
brellas.

l(Prepar-u ny the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
With a little thought and some real
work a girl can transform an uninter-
esting, uninviting room into place of
tranquility and charm. The girls in the
"Own Your Own Room" clubs, under
the direction of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and various
state agricultural colleges, have ac-
complished wonderful results in max
ing over unattractive rooms according
to the suggestions given them by club
leaders.
A neutral shade for the walls, floors,
and larger articles in the room Is usual
~ pleasing. Cushions, table covers,
books, and other small bright colored
objects give the needed touch Of color.
Chintz or cretonne in curtains and
cushions sometimes suggests the color
to be emphasized. This is more in
formal and homelike than an attempt
to have everything match. No matter
what color scheme is chosen, the dark
est tones are best for the floor and
its covering, lighter tones for the walls,
and the lightest for the ceiling.
Floors Easily Cared For.
Smoothly finished floors, partly COW
cred with rugs are easily cared for.
Paint or varnish can often be applied
to an old unfinished wood floor to
make 1t look better. Attractive bed
room rugs can be made at home by
braidlng, crocheting, or weaving rags
and odds and ends of material.
Plain wall papers or those with In
conspicuous all-over designs are good
backgrounds for pictures. A plastered
wall may be painted quite easily. A
girl should be able to paint beth the
plaster and woodwork of her room II
the latter needs attention. Painted
bedroom furniture is much prettler
than cheap grades of oak or stained
wood. Old bureaus, bedsteads, tables
md chairs, even though quite differ
ent in design, can be made to look as
though they belonged together II care

Dress and Cape Match

The latest development in the use
Of printed chiffon is an afternoon
frock with cape of the same material.
One of the smartest models consists Of
frock of black georgette printed
with large flowers in a brilliant shade
of blue. The dress is laid in tiny
plaits from neck to hem and there is
a narrow sash Of the material itself.
A little collar of hand-embroidered
cream net and real valenciennes lace
softens the oval neckline. With this
is worn cape of the material bor-
dered with wide band of black and
cleverly draped so that the ends fall
in irregular points.

chopped walnut meats; with crushed
fruit in strip 1t may be some other
kind of sundae.
Vanilla ice cream can also be varied
by introducing different fiavors into
the mixture before freezing it. A cup
full of sweetened fruit pulp is the right
amount for the quantity of cream and
other ingredients in the recipe. Half
a pint of sweetened peach pulp (made
from one cupful of dried peaches and
n pound OF sugar. Is enough for about
2 quarts of the crushed peach ice
cream illustrated. A few tablespoon
fuls of caramel flavor in vanilla ice
cream gives a pleasant variation, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture.

For Summer Wear

There seems to be a special affinity
between lace and chiffon, so 1t Is not
surprising to find these materials sue
cessfully combined in number of
new frocks for summer wear. And in
spite of earlier prophecies, printed
chiffon and georgette play more
important part in summer fashions
than was indicated few weeks ago.
