I FASHION'S REALM Common Sense Not the Season's . Keynote In Millinery. SELECTING THE RIGHT HAT. How tho Clover Girl Can Make Over ? Last Year's Hat Into One of the Smart, New, Large and Becoming Shapes of the Season. ? The "woman who trembled In the face pf last fall's millinery openings Is des ftlned to have nervous prostration be jfore she has rounded up this season's jofferings. While standing before a (Smart show wiudow a few days since jury attention was caught by despond ent tones on my right. A comfortable, imatronly person of about forty was -clutching her companion's arm and studying the picturesque display be hind the huge sheet of plate glass. "Mary." she murmured Iq the tone of one doomed to folly. "Mary, do you think , you and I will really come to anything like that those overturned wash bowls and quart measures and floral topknots? My goodness, there isn't one common sense hat in the lot." She struck the keynote of the sea ison's display. It is not common sense, but, oh, how lovely! And if just the right clerk got hold of that despondent shopper her hair was fluffed to just the irigbt stage of youthfulness, and an overturned flowerpot or quart measure or butter bowl, with tip tilted flowers, would change the tlred'looking matron into a most brideiike person. For the season Is nothing if not lyouthful, and a clever milliner can fit one of those absurdly youthful models to a middle aged face with pleasing re sults. It is purely a matter of select ing the right colors and twisting a irlbbon here, the brim there and tuck ling in a flower at the last point. It is a season of odd shapes and unlimited ivariety In materials. A clever girl can even tike a last season's small straw shape and make it over into oue of the new big shapes by alternating the I straw with shirring or plaitings of net. fYou can dye old straw braid and be al most sure of striking a desirable color, ifor the more peculiar the coloring the ? more smart your hat Is considered. J?ae only quiet combination noted' is Tblack and white, and often these col lors are so arranged as to be garish. I Hardly any hats appear in two or ?three tones of the same color. Gen erally the colors are strongly contrast ing. If the frame of the.hat is brown the facing may be a grayish blue that is EAJAH PICCADILLY. SUIT. almost but not quite au Alice blue, and ithe trimming will be violets and pink [roses or huge Americau Beauty roses. (The girl wearing the rajah silk Picca jdilly suit has on a stunning outing hat 'of black straw simply trimmed with ?black ribbon and black pompons. The jembroldered gloves seen In the other jcut are the latest development in this line. AMY VARNUM. I _ I A New Mascot. I 'A new mascot ring has just been in troduced. It is a bar of gold in which Iis set the tooth of a wolf or that of a jbadger. which when highly polished 'looks like a piece of Ivory or white coral. It Is a very old superstition that connects the wearing of an animal's tooth with immunity from bad luck, and the newly revived talisman will take its place among the various other mascots already worn with a historical reputation in its favor. ; Good For Everybody. Mr. Norman R. Coulter, a promin ent architect, in the Delbert Build ing, San Francisco, says: "I fully endorse all that has been said of Electric Bitters as a tonic medicine. It is for everybody. It corrects stom ach, liver and kidney disorders in a prompt and efficient manner and builds up the system." Electric Bit ters is the best spring medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter; as a blood purifier it is unequaled. 50c at Dr. J. G. Wannamaker Mfg. Co., drug etore. I AN OLD TIME RECIPE. Virginia Fried Chicken That "Mother Used to Make/' Fried chicken is. of 'course, my chief recollection of the poultry dishes "mother used to make," says Christine Terhune Eerrlck in the May Delinea tor. We had roast chicken besides and barbecued and smothered aud boil ed chickeu and roast and boiled turkey and roast duck. But fried chickeu was as regular an article on the Vir ginia bill of fare as beefsteak is in some uorthern homes?chicken, fried plain or with cream gravy, with bacon or without Broiled chicken appeared pretty 'often?we always bad it for breakfast Sunday?but It was not. such a real Virginia dish as fried chicken. The southern cook of old time might fail on anything pise in the culinary line, but I don't believe I ever beard of one who got her "ban'- out" In cook ing poultry. For this you must have young chick ens, broiling sIz-\ and they must be cut apart as for fricassee, rinsed, wiped dry, peppered lightly and then rolled In flour, a piece at a time. Meanwhile half a pound of salt pork should have been sliced and cooked iu a frying pan long enough to make the fat flow, but not enough to browu the pork. In this fat lay the pieces of 'Chicken.and fry to a good brown, turn ing the pieces as they cook. When all are done take out with a fork, so as to free from grease, and lay In a hot dish. Set this in the open oven and pour into the gravy left In the fry ing pan a cupful of rich milk?half cream Is better?add a tablespoonful of flour, rubbed smooth, with a table spoonful of butter, stir until the saiice has boiled smooth and thick, add a tablespoonful of minced parsley and pour over the chicken. A SUMMER NOVELTY. , Hand Embroidered Parasols More Used Than Ever This Summer. Hand embroidered parasols will be more than ever used this summer. The design shown Is an especially hand some one for linen or pongee. It can be treated In several ways. The flow ers can be padded in chain stitch and E?BBOIDEF.ED PAItASOIi. embroidered solidly In sittin stitch, and the leaf can have one half solid and the other half corded aud filled In with seeding, or the petals can bo outlined and seeded and the leaf worked solid ly to a central vein. Use a mercerized cotton of a rather fine number. For embroidering the pongees the work can be do tie iu self tones or In white. New Hats. It Is very fashionable to use a band of gold braid as a trimming for the crown of a hat The braid can be bought anywhere by the yard, aud the hat needs no more than a band of it tightly stretched around the crown. At the front or at the side there can be placed a white lace butterfly, positively immense In its proportions. Hats right from Paris show the very high crown, rather square in shape, and the narrow brim. These hats are almost like very high crowned sailors. The narrow brim rolls slightly upward, while the top Is very high and very much trimmed with folds of silk and with small flowers, daisies, bluets or buttercups. The mushroom shape, which proved to be so very becoming, will hold over this season. In Its new forms It Is. rather wide In the brim, and It turns down all the way around, like a butter bowl Inverted, and its top Is heavily trimmed with flowers. The newer of the mushrooms are a little wider on one side than the other, and there are others that are a little narrower in the front than at the back. Unruly Locks. It is said that somebody bau at last discovered a method by which a wo man's unruly sbort locks may be made to stay in place. Just mix together a teaspoonful of glycerin and five tea spoonfuls of water, shake the lotion well and just before you go out apply it to the hair with a very soft brush. When the hair has been dressed as usual every lock will lie snugly in po sition, although there will be none of that sticky, oily look that is so often the result of stay in place mixtures. A few drops of one's fuvorite perfume may be added* to the glycerin and wa ter, but care should be taken lest the odor be overatrong. To have perfect health we must have perfect digestion, and it is very important not to permit of any de lay the moment the stomach feels out of order. Take something at once that you know will promptly and un failingly assist digestion. There is nothing better than Kodol for dys pepsia, indigestion, sour stomach, belching of gas and net vous head ache. Kodol is a natural digestant, and will digest what you eat. Sold by A. C.

Just Low to wear a thin blouse and keep it fresh and dainty looking lu the hot days of midsummer Is ofteu a diffi cult problem. This is especially true if a woman perspires freely, for It Is rather hard to adjust a shield In u thin blouse without its showing. A shield is absolutely essential' to many women, however, though nothing is uglier than a broad expanse of this protection showing through both bodice and sleeve! A clever little Invention makes ll possible to solve this problem. A regular shield is used as a foundation TO HIDE DBESS SHIELD. The underside of the shield is to ' be tucked inside of the corset cover, and the upper half Is covered with lawn cut in the shape of a sort of cuff which reaches to the top of the shoulder. This is trimmed with lace and caught at the shoulder with a bow of ribbon, so that even if it shows through the blouse it would uever suggest a shield. The stroke of genius In the device Is in the whalebones that run from the arm hole to the outer edge, without which the whole thing would prove useless, wrinkling up in a few moments. But by this means It is held firm and smooth and does its work admirably. FOR THE AUTO TRIP. Lunch Baskets With Complete Service For a Picnic Meal. No* need for being inconvenienced either by hunger or thirst when on an auto trip these days if the latest lunch eon or tea basket is taken along. There have been fitted baskets for outo picnics on the market heretofore, but anything like the compactness, the completeness and the attractiveness of some recent importations it would be difficult to match. The old style basket was generally of wicker. The later arrivals are of leather, though wicker is not entirely superseded, and the equipment is de signed for parties of two, four or six. The prices are remarkably reasonable, ranging from about $8 to a little less thau $50, the cost, of course, being reg ulated by the number of persous pro vided for and" the quality of the fitting of they basket The plates, cups and saucers are of white enameled ware, with^a gilt rim, giving a delightful suggestion of fine china, with the assurance of practical iudestructibility. The necessary table ware i3 most conveniently disposed, the knives slipping into metal catches that hold them securely and the list being complete even to a carving set and salt spoons for the luncheon bas kets. Some of the metal carriers for the sandwiches, salad, game, or what ever composes the menu, are arranged in double tiers, but all are roomy and positively dustproof. There are separate holders for butter, salt," pepper, and the liquids that are carried with luncheon, while the tea baskets are complete even to the tea caddy. An alcohol lamp and kettle are a feature of the tea baskets, and there are separate carriers for cream in ndditiou to the food carrier and the complement of china and spoons. Pic nicking with the aid of these new conveniences is certain to prove a joy for the autoist. Pompadour Lore. For the square face the pompadour must be made to follow the outlines of the face. Bound faces should be surrounded by a moderate sized pompadour. The woman with broad cheek bones and a rather tapering chin will get the best effect by a rather low flaring pom padour surmounted by a broad, low chignon. The long, thin oval face is most be comingly framed by the same flaring pompadour as In the abovo without the chignon. Unless the forehead is very high the line made by the hair around the brow generally forms the prettiest outline for the pompadour. , All exaggerations of the pompadour are bound to make a woman look com mon. Potatoes With Mint. Quite the most delicious way of cooking new potatoes Is to place them in boiling water with two or three sprigs of fresh mint. When the pota toes have been cpoked and drained, a little melted butter should be poured over them. The mint adds a most delicate but not at all an obtrusive flavor. Instead of trying to peel new potatoes the English cook removes the skins by rubbing them very hard with au extremely stiff brush. This leaves them both white and smooth and ob vlutes the necessity of peeling them after cooking. Personal.

The pump handle shake is executed by taking a friend's hand and working It tip and down through an arc of fifty degrees for about a minute and a half.. To have its nature, force and charac ter this shake should be performed wich a fair and steady motion. No at tempt should be made to givb it grace a'nd variety, as it may result In dlslo caling the shoulder of the victim. On no account should it be continued aft er perspiration on the part of your friend has commenced. The pendulum shake is similar In ch aracter, but moving, as the name In dicates, In horizontal instead or a per pendicular direction. It Is executed by sweeping your band horizontally to ws rd your friend's and after the June* lion Is effected rowing with it from ens side to the other. . T.Tie tourniquet shake derives Its name from the instrument made use of by surgeons to stop the circulation of the blood in the limb about to be amputated. It is performed by clasp ing the hand of your friend as Car as you can in your own and then con tracting the muscles of 3-our thumb, fingers aud palm till you have Induced any degree of compression you may purpose in the hand of your friend. Particiliar care ought to be taken not to make use of the tourniquet shake to a degree that it will shake the small benes of the wrist out of their places. It is seldom safe to apply it to gouty persons^ The cordial grapple is a hearty, bois terous shake of your friend's hand, ac companied with moderate pressure and loud acclamations of welcome. The Peter grievous touch is a pen sive, tranquil junction, followed by a mild subsuitory motion, a cast down look and an inarticulate inquiry after your friend's health.

Eczema Began When a Tiny Baby and Lasted 7 Years?Tore Crusts from Face TilMt was All Raw Screamed with Pain and Could not Sleep?Though Specialists Failed CUTICURA EFFECTED A WONDERFUL CURE "When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. I took him w> a doc tor and got ointments and medicines but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been 7ery painful. He scratched day and ni^ht until his face sometimes looked like a raw piece of meat. I was nearly insane with his scratching day and night. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could hot do much for him. He sometimes screamed with pain when I put on the salve they gave me. "When he was" two years old the eczema got on his arms and legs so that I had to keep them bandaged up and I made gloves for his hands so the nails could not poison him worse. We. could not get a night's sleep in months and my husband and I were all broken up. Then my mother asked why I did not give "up the doctors and try Cuticura. So I got a set and he felt relieved the first time I used them, the Cuticura Ointment felt so cool. He used to wake up and ask for Cuti I cura to be put on when he itched so badly that he could not sleep, and he would say, 'Ohl Mama, that makes my sores feel so good!' I gave the Cuticura Remedies a good trial and gradually the eczema healed all up and now he is as well as any other chil dren. He is now seven years old and the cure has lasted two months, so I think it will never return. I can't tell you how glad [ am that Cuticura did such wonderful work in our case and I shall recommend it everywhere. Mrs. John G. Klunipp, SO Niagara St., Newark, N. J., Oct. 17.and 22, 1907."

Big profits from cotton, tobacco, and corn, tomatoes, cabbage, lettuce, beets blcs and fruits depend upon their uniform gcr crops and quicker and larger growth are positively assured through high fertilization with VirgMa-Carolifla Fertilizers That Virginia*Carolina Fertilizers are far superior to any other fertilizers Is proved by the experience of Mr. D. M. Griffin, D. D. S. of Plant City, Fla., wlu says: "I was tracking on a small scale, and decided I would try a few sacks o? your fertilizer, as it was cheap and said to be good. I put it un der some tomatoes by the side of some other high grade fertilizer which cost nie $15 a ton more, and in the same proportion per acre. I don't think I exaggerate in the least in saying that the yield where I used Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers was three times that of where I used the other brand of so-called high-grade fertilizer."
