\m?LE DRESS OF TAFFETA {Nattier Blue Woolen Material Would Make Up Well in This Charm ing Design. Nattier blue woolen taffetas makes ^tap well in this simple style. ; The front of skirt turns up at foot fer left side with a revers of black sat P, and is further trimmed with a sst -eovered button and loop. kThe bodice has a plastron front that is in curved points over a yoke of Iblack satin; a button with loop being sewn in each point. The sleeves come just below the el 3?w and are finished with satin cuffs; the small yoke with collar, also the nader sleeves are of Brussels net Cream straw hat, trimmed with 3)lue feathers. Materials required for dress: Four sad one-half yards 44 inches wide, three-quarters of a yard satin 22 inches wide, six buttons, three-quarters of a | yard net IS inches wide, one dozen ?mall buttons. E&hrori? Fand Linens and cotton voiles stand ?foremost in the list of fabrics for : irnmart blouses. j Leather handbags promise to have thmgs all their own way rather than fancy bags. The dominant style tendency is bet? .ter described by directoire than any | ithing else. I Black and white chantilly is a favor? j ate trimming for the frock of soft satin, chiffon and pompadour taffetas. Skirts with becoming yokes, shaped over the hips and forming a panel at, rthe back, are among the newest mod-! ?els. Tones and shades will be mingled .onore freely than will different colors. ; ?Especia?ly does this apply to evening costumes, which will very often be jbuilt of rich medium and even darli ?hades, lightened with chiffon and ?Jace. CORDS ARE TO BE POPULAR :AJI Widths and Colors Will Be Used As Trimmings Thl* Fall and Winter. ' Cords of all widths and colors will 'be extensively used on autumn and winter models. Not only as fastenings and "buttons," but as trimmings, and :slso to weight the borders of the coats ?and skirts. Narrow cords with pipe ?edging and light and heavy cords will be used fer ornamental designs in the braid style. At one time color was .the difficulty, but now the colors and shades are quite as numerous as those In silk, and cords have worked their way into a position of great impor tance. Waistcoats are again to be ?iworn, but introduced into frocks ap -well as coats, and these have cording? iand buttons which come into full play. Blue 6erge and blue cloth will 1t>e principally treated in *his way, and {many and beautiful will be the colore and designs seen on the winter mod .els. As I have mentioned before in -these columns, velvet as well as cord arad braiding will be greatly- used, giv (Sag a very rich appearance to the jjlainest materials.-Women's Wear. Fads. The new waists are being finished, amany of them, with high crushed ?satin girdles to wear outside the skirt t Leather collars and cuffs are com ing In, of white or colors, finished ?with wee straps and pearl buckbs. Some of the heavy lace tunics to the new white satin gewns are edged ?with ermine and veiled with chiffon. Unlined wraps of firm ivory voile Are much liked for warm summer af ternoons and summer seashore wear. Some of the new dark tutored suite tfor autumn are livened up by collar* .od cuffs in burnt orange, tan, green, ?ose, blue and other tones. DAINTIES FOR THE LUNCHEON j Hostess Who Wishes to Set Some thing Really Appetizing Before j Her Guests Should Try These. A new sandwich served with after* I noon tea is two slices of hot crisp ; toast, dipped on one side in melted ! butter, and filled with iced raw oys j ters, sprinkled with lemon. A variation of this filling is to stew j the oysters until they curl ?lightly, re ! move the eye, chop rather coarse ly with a silver knife, and mis trilh mayonnaise. Another good toast mixture has the toast prepared in the same way and filled with finely scrambled egg. sprinkled with finely chopped crisp bacon. Both of these sand I wiches must be eaten immediately or they are r.ot good. Instead of serving lemon with tea, . havt on the tray a jar of grapefruit j marmalade-in a silver holder or crys 1 tal jam .vir if you have an eye and i pork et hook for effect. Pu. a teaspoon : lui of the marmalade into the tea in . Mf-.:d of the usual slice of lemon. ! Queer, but good. , Orange marmalade is u^eil in the ?ame way; so is preserved ginger ano brandied fruit. The latter must be chopped into riuii.e small pieces if the fruit i* whole. Tho Russians use preserves of al: kinds in the tea, but the mar malades and conserves that have slightly acid or pungent tang are i tess- cloying. ! A sweet toast ie made by cutting j small squares of oblongs of toast. This :s dipped into a mixture made from a pint o?' hot milk, into which j has been stirred the grated rind of a ! lemon and four tablespoonfuls of j sugar. Piavor with a dash of brandy. . Dip the soaked toast, in beaten egg j and fry quickly in hot butter, or bake on a well-greased griddle. Sprinkle ! with powdered sugar and sene iunne : diately. STARCH SAID TO SPOIL LINEN : Best to Iron it D?mp, Declares an Au j tority-Good Way to Keep the Centerpieces Smooth. Po noi starch any linen. If you wish to have it. look at its best, iron it damp, says Harper's Razar. Starch ruins linen. Hang all pheets, table I cloths and towels so that the weight, 1 when wet, will come on the length I wise threads, which are the stronger. . Otherwise, the linen will show an in? j clination to split along the folds. Lin j en yellowed by long lying may be whitened by adding kerosene to tho water when boiling. About a table spoon to a gallon of water is the cor rect proporiton. After tablecloths are folded lengthwise they may be kept smooth by rolling on pastboard mail ing tubes. A ribbon may be run through tho tube and tied first across the cioth, and the... around the tube in two places, to keep the ends in place. This, is a good way to kee p linen cen terpieces smooth. If, however, the roiling is done when the lin :i is still damp, the centerpieces will continue! to roll as they lie on the table. Peanut Soup. Shell a pint of roasted peanuts and I remove the fine paper-like covering of the kernels. Grind into a fine powder by rolling them. Use the j>owdered nuts in a cream made soup from a pint of milk and a pint of water, a scant tablespoonful of flour and a full one of butter rubbed together, one tablespoonful of salt and white pepper io taste. This soup may be made without the milk, using a quart ol water and serving with thin slices of lemon in each bowl. This soup has a fine flavor and contains considerable nourishment. Carrot Salad. Wash and scrape tender rich-colored carrots, throw into fast-boiling water and boil until tender; cut them in very thin slices, put in a glass bowl, sprinkle with sifted sugar; add the juice of a large lemon, a wineglass of olive- oil; garnish the dish with very thin slice-s of lemon and any kind of green salad leaves. Try this and you will repeat the experiment. Honey Mousse. Beat srparately the yolks of two eggs, an! mix with a cupful of honey. Heat gently over gas until the mix ture is thick-do not boil. Let it coo'., then stir in the whipped whites of two eggs. Add half a pint of whip ped cream, and mix carefully. Put into a moid and set on ice to ireeze. Favorite Bermudian Dessert. Fresh cocoanut, peeled and grated with a coarse grater. Moisten with the "milk" of the cocoanut Place In icc'ividual glas dishes and put on each generous portions of gus."* .'elly. With this may be served plain sponge cake or an unsweetened biscuit. Ham Toast. Mix with one tablespoonful of finely chopped ham the beaten yolk of an egg and a little milk. Heat over the fire without boiling and spread over thin buttered toast. SprinMe with minced celery if desired. Celery Salad Sandwiches. Chop four hard-cooked eggs fine. Take white portion of one head cel ery, chop fine and mix with eeg. Season with salt and pepper and spread on thin slices of bn..3d. cover ing with a layer of mayonnaise. Cold Salmon With Tartar Sauce. Lay slice of salmon one inch thick in slightly salted water. Dry. dredge with fleur, brush with egg. Fry brown, dllowlng eight minutes to each side. Serve cold with tartar saue?. FOOD VALUE OF MANY EGGS Though Nearly Half Water, Their Contents Are Extremely Nutritious -Comparison With Meat. Many persons often ask what an egg is made of, but strange to say few ever find out. to their entire satis faction. A test at the department of agriculture shows that the white of an egg is nearly seven-eighths water, the balance being nearly pure albumen. The yolk is slightly less than one-half water. This is true of the eggs of chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese. In comparing the egg6 of these various birds the department of agriculture quotes the following figures: Hen eggs. 50 per cent, water, 16 j per cent, protein, 36 per cent. fat. Goose egg?, 44 per cent, water. 19 per cent protein. 36 per cent. fat. Duck eggs. 46 per cent, water, 17 per cent, protein, 26 per cent. fat. Turkey eggs. 48 per cent, water, 18 per cent, protein. .'13 per cent. lat. Of course, farmers understand that protein goes to make muscle and blood, while fat ir fuel for running the t machine ry of ihe body. Thus it will I be seen that eggs, though half or near-1 ly half water, are extremely nutritious, containing all the elements required for the building and support of the body. There is no truth, however, in the old saying that an egg contains as much nutriment as a pound of steak, lt would be nearer correct to estimate a pound of eggt; as being equal to a pound of lean steak in nu tritious value. W?KE PERCHES MITE-PROOF Made of 2x4 Stuff, There ls No Place for Little Insects to Hide Kerosene Does Work. The simplest constructed perch we can get. if it gives satisfaction should be the one to build. There is no place for the mites to hide, even, should they get on these perches. Tue perches are made of 2>:-? stuff with one edge rounded, the pieces that form the suppcrt for the perches are of the same material as the perches, also that of the legs, which are one foot long, which makes the perches 18 inchrea from the floor. Sufficiently high for convenience and not so high that when fowls jump from them, Mite-Proof Perches. they will bruise their feet, causin? "Bumble-foot," broken leg6 or breast bones. The legs should fit the cant loosely so that in removing them tc facilitate cleaning out the droppings the cans will not be overturned. The cans should contain an inch or twe i of kerosene or coal oil at all times 1 and thr-re ls no possible chance of any mitefc, big or little, getting by. INDUSTRIOUS HEN LAYS EGG Fowl Should Not Be Compelled tv> Re main Idle by Being Cooped Up in Filthy Quarters. The hen is naturally industrious and she should not be compelled tc 1 remain idle by being cooped up ir | dark, filthy quarters, where drafts are prevalent, the floor without some ? good litter and surroundings other wise unhealthy. Rather encourage her to work by providing her witt good, comfortable quarters. Construct a good scratch shed, bul if this be impossible then construct j a dropping board under the roosts anc ' place the litter upon the floor of th? j coop. Permit all the light possible | Scatter the grain food in the littet and let old biddy scratch for it to hoi heart's content. Avoid feeding moldy food and pro vide drinking water in plenty. During the bitter cold weather slightly warn the water for the convenience of the fowls. Remember, the working hen ii the one that will shell out the eggs ?while tho idle one will not lay.
