Mrs. Isobel Hill is disappointed, and
her faith in the honesty Of some per-
son unknown has been shaken. With
much care she selected some healthy
and hardy rose bushes this spring to
add to her collection. Last week there
were nine beautiful blooms, which
were greatly admired. On retiring
she planned to give a sick friend some
pleasure the next morning. But the
next morning there were no roses in
bloom. During the night some one
had entered her yard and plucked
every one. She has the right to be
disappointed and angry. Certainly
ones Mowers should be safe from the
nimble fingers of providers.

then lost six in row, only to
come back in the eighth and
ninth games of the season to gain
clear-cut verdictS over Johns Hop

In the last-named contest,
Maryland looked the part of a

wonder how the Old Liners ever

note what natural taste will
select. -
Steaks. chops and roasts,
served in moderation and &C
companied by cold salads and
cooling drinks, are enjoyable
even in warm weather. They
are also a wholesome check to
the tendency to abandon nour-
1shing food as soon as the tenn.
perature discourages appetite.
In chilly dishes, however.
there is plenty of nourishment,
too. Meats, fish, eggs-all sub
stantial proteins-can be cooked
and moulded in aspic, then
sliced and served on a bed of.
crisp lettuce and other vege-.
tables.
Gelatine soup can be made
either by the addition of pow.
dered gelatine. or gelatine de-
rived from bones of chicken,
veal or even fish. Then it can
be moulded into aspic to hold in
attractive form the meat, fish
or egg combinations.
AS a dessert gelatine is al.
ways popular, especially with
chicken. 1t can be served plain
or blended with eggs or whipped
cream, and dessert then becomes
a really substantial dish.
Cold cereals mixed with eggs
and fruit flavorings and cream
make a nourishing and pleasant
luncheon dish, unusually ap-
preciated by small persons. A
rice pudding prepared with
milk, eggs and raiSins and
served cold will tempt the ap.
petite even of those trying days
when it seems "just too hot to
eat anything"
Cold fruit soups, a developed
taste with some travellers, can
be a first course at a dinner or
main dish at luncheon. A
fresh or dried fruit-peaches.
apricots, berries, etc.-can be
cooked in water. then strained
through a coarse sieve. This
Juice is thickened by cooking a

Beauty Queries
and Answers
Lovely CurlS


Question: 1 have a little girl
five years old that has lovely
curly hair, but it gets very dry
after comb it as have to use
water on it. She is going to
school this fall and 1 would like
to do something so her hair will
look nice.-P. M.
Answer: I would also suggest
the hot-oil shampoo for your lit
tie girl, but the use of oil will
eventually turn the hair a shade
or two darker, although it is an
excellent way of revitalizing the
tiny oil glands which keep the
hair in good condition. In the
case of a little girl, I would be
sure she had plenty of good milk
and butter, then I would rub a
little brilliantine on the hair to
counteract the drying effect of
TIE water. Also massaging the
scalp gently will help to condi-
ton the hair, because 1t brings
up the circulation.

resort dances and wear soft,
simple things. A charming
dance frock for such events is
in white chiffon patterned all
over with small black squares.
Soft folds over the shoulders
extend almost to the waist
line giving deep decolletage.
There is a red chiffon sash
with trailing ends and a match
ing red hankie.
We are in stitches as we
continue to wear smart knitted
suits. A new model has the
blouse in dark yellow, the jacket
in bottle green, and the skirt
in checks combining the two
colors. The coat features pad
ded shoulders, box pleats on
the sleeves and wooden buttons.
