Midsummer Hats n . m LACES and nots are more generally used In making Lata for mid sttnjmor than (or many seasons past. They aro fine for remodeling shapes that havo been worn but aro avnllnblo for a second or third soason, as leghorns and mllans. If tho used shnpo Is discolored or not In perfect repairs, ruffles of lace, sowed ono row above another, may easily cover the upper brim entirely. With a crown or net draped over a thin Bilk for the top, no part of tho original shapo Is vlslblo except tho under brim. Such a hat Is shown In Fig. 1. Tho lace is a German val pattern and Is knife plaited, making ruffles a little less than two Inches wide. These are slip BtHchcd to tho brim. CARE OF THE GIRL'S ROOM .Trick of Having Apartment Beautiful, Attractive and Clean Is Simple and Easily Learned. A girl can learn nothing more use ful than the simple trick of having her own room beautiful, attractive and clean. It Is not always possible to have tho furnlturo, but ono can have a "homey looking," rooni. One thing Is absolutely necessary, a room must bo clean, bedspreads, pretty linen dresser pieces and chair cush ion's are necessary. Cover tho trunk (If kept. In the room) with a cretonne cover, and havo a scrap basket to hold llttlo odds and ends which must bo burned. On the table havo well selected books and magazines. Keep gay postal cards In a neat postal card book. Do not decorate the walls with them, for pretty as they are thoy soon bang crooked and inako a room lobk untidy. Have a placo for shoes, for if any thing makes a room upsot It is a pair of tan shoos lying, pigeon-toed, under tho bed and another pair of black ones undor tho dresser. Keep tho closet In order so that when the door Is opened you will not bo ashamed to havo nnyono soo. how you keep your clothes. If you put things away as you use them you can have a room like this. Havo ono palm or fern grace your room, and If It dies get a new ono. GRACEFUL LINGERIE DRESS. Deautlfully embroldere4 la .pale Iue and white. Tho wreath of buds and foliage about the crown at tho baso Is all that is needed to complete the hat. A leghorn In Fig. 2 sbowp the under brim covered to within. an inch and a half of tho edge with a dotted net in palo blue. A big puffed crown of tho net Is draped over a wreath of hy drangeas, which grown wider at tho back, where it climbs to the top of tho crown. Very little of the upper brim is vlslblo and the crown of this hat Is almost wholly concealed. On the crown the not is draped over plain chiffon a trlflo lighter In tone than Itself. This is another excellent do sign for a hat which Is to be remod eled from one that shows s'gns of wear. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. CLEVER USES OF BASKETS Make Very Pretty Jardinieres by Use of Cheap Materials and Little Artistic Skill. A woman who likes to havo her houso full of growing plantB In win ter has discovered the baskets which can bo bought, for 10 cents mako very pretty jardinieres, these .baskets'. 'In old-fashioned willow-wore, come In dark grcon, deep red nnd brown, am' any of them are offecttve with tho green of tho plants, says the New. York Tribune. If tho baskets are bought In a 10-ccnt store it Js most likely that ono will need only to go to another department to buy for 10 cents tho pans that will exactly fit them. Defore being filled by the flor ist tho pans should bo painted grass green, or to match the basket. Ope of these baskets may also, with a llttlo moro manipulation, ho made to fill tho moro prosaic sphere of n work-basket, lined with Persian silk In harmonizing colors. On one sldo Is a pocket of silk drawn up by nar row elastic, and small bowB holding In placo an emery ball, a bodkin, n glove mender and n needle book- make a pretty decoration iong the edgo. Tho outer edgo Is trimmed with a modest llttlo fancy fringe. Newer In stylo Is tho brown one, wim yellow added for brightness Thoro is a mat In the bottom cut from cardboard and covered' with brown Bilk, which is fnstened to tho under side with glue. Tho llttlo silk curIi Ion, which Is of tho tomato order, measures four ' and a half Inches across. Both mat and cushion are held in placo by two Rtitches r strong silk that go through tho bottom of the basket. A yard and a half of rib bon three and n quartor inches wide will bo required to hold tho spoolB and to mako tho bow, A quarter of a. yard of a wider Tlbbon In tho samo shado will do (or the cushion. Slip-Over Blouses. Blouses o( silk or linen or wool or satin or.nongeo that slip over tho head and require no buttoning up back or front aro tho latest. They aro very dainty In appearance and complete, needing no gulmpo. There Is a little opening down a (ew inches in front nud tho neck has a tube for a draw Btring of silk, which ties In front and ends In tasselB. Somo aro finished at tho neck with a net frill. Tho sleeves are In kimono style and there is any variety of plain, striped aud fancy silks nnd other materials. Crocheted Cuff Links. Cuff links for wash waists may bo made from two crochet buttons, sewed together like tho parts of a dumbbell link- with a strong thread loop of the right length, which is thon button holed over and over. These links will wash, aro pretty and aro not easily lost, besides being economical. Chamois Trlmmlnna. An odd but beautiful evening gown is of chamois colored tulle, with em broideries worked on real cbanioU leather in Japaneso style with Ilosi silks. Tho designs are chrysanthe mums in lovely shades of yellow, gray and drab, and here and there a dra gon worked in silver thread.

Fruit drinks, salads and meat sub stitutes are dishes wo- are looking for during tho hot days of summor. Thoro is no drink which quite takes the place of tho old-fashioned lemon ade, and nono noxt to puro cold water which qltcnchos tho thirst bo effectu ally. A very nice drink may be. pre pared from n lemon and two oranges, for a quart of water. Ilrulso a bunch of mint, and let It diffuse In the Juice for nn hour or two, then romove and add tho water; sugar to tusto and a sprig of mint and a ollce of lemon and orange to each glflBS. . A delicious dessert is ono Iri which musk melons, cut in halves and seeds removed, aro placed on paper dollies, on n small plate. Fill these fruit cups with ice cream and garnish with a few piece's of canton ginger to elm ulato seeds. This Is a truly delightful dessert. Another equally delicious dessert, though not as beautiful In appoaran'ce. Is grape Juice parfnit. Doll a third of n cup of grapo Juice nnd three-fourths of a cup of sugar until It hairs whon dropped from a spoon. Pour in a lino stream upon tho whites of two eggs bontcn stiff. To ono and a fourth cupfuls of double cream add a half cup of grape Juice and the Julco of a lemon; beat until firm. Fold the two mixtures together nnd mold. Cover securely and pack in equal measures of salt and ice. Whon unmoldcd sprinkle with chopped "pistachio nuts. When serving watermelon, cut the melon crosswise and ubo a large spoon to cut out cones of the melon, remov ing the seeds befqro serving. A grape leaf may be sod for u dolly on each pinto. The slmplo French dressing ts so easily made and so much moro pala table and nutritious than tho boiled dressings, It should bo'oftotfur on our tables. The great reason that so many peo ple object to olive oil Is no doubt be cause they have been served with an inforlor oil. Thore is no economy in purchasing a poor oil for tho table. Olive nil should have a sweet, nutty flavor and odor, and a. slightly, green ish color. " 11121112 la bo little rest. There la la audi an unrensoulnir tmnalon for ..unity. And bo we nklni tho nur face of nil thlncs: we never look down Into their (k-it)is and sco tho power of help nnd culture which thoy mlKht con tain. -Phillips Uroolta. houso with comfort without a maid ft a fortunate woman. She nitiat be sys tematic without making system a bug bear It takes brains as well as mint clo to bo n successful houEokcepor. A maid has her regular work laid out for her. which sho can usually do with no thought of interruption; but how is It with tho houso motherT Sho has a Ihourand calls and Interruptions from Mary, with a cut finger, to tho tele phono nnd door. It Is so hard, too, at all times to bo fresh and presentable when ono Lajlolng housework. A big apron that will cover tho dross Is a most desirable kind to wear, nnd may bo used as a dress in hot weather. Tho early rising habit has helped ono housekeeper to solve tho "no sorvant" problem, getting bo much out of tho way beforo tho family are astir. Sho Is not able to accomplish us much as a good Bridget, who boast cd of her early rising", however, ns Bho said sho got up and got breakfast and bad all the beds made beforo tho fani' lly were up. When a woman iIoob her own work sho must not wasto ttmo and energy doing things over. A kitchen floor need bo swept but oncce in tho foro noon, and whon doing work that will soil table or sink, uno papers and burn them, Raving tho tlmo for moro essen tial things. A dainty tablo Is a necessity, and a dainty person Ib another; both may bo kept with a little care. If tho tabic 1b sightly use doillns Instead or a cloth, -and snvo the Ironing of largo linen; a few dollies nro easily laun dored. Another help to a busy housekeeper Is having the family on tluio at tueais, being late Is only a habit and a good ono to break. Take a few hours each day for reBt or recreation.

Casserole cookery Is steadily ad vancing In favor, ns It is an easy way of serving tho main dish with vege tables. Tho cheapest cuts of meat, by tho long cookiujr and with tho ad dition of vegetables to flavor, mako an Inexpensive dish. Chlckon is delicious cooked and served en casserole, Clean aud separate tho chicken at the Joints, roll In flour and fry In butter or pork fat until brown on both sides.

Cover and cook until tho vegetables are tender, then servo from tho casserolo. A Ijolled dinner is delicious cooked in a casserolo, and bo, of coureo, not boiled, but baked. Tho cabbage and potatoes uro parboiled, as well ns tho carrots nnd turnips, beforo adding to tho pork In tho cnssorolo. Cover with tho liquor that tho carrots woro cooked In and bako until all tho yego tablos aro soft. Pigeons en Casserole. Clean care fully sUthout cutting up, and Btuff each with a bunch of celery, which mny bo removed beforo serving. " Parboil foV hair an hour in water to cover, and uso tho same water to cook them in after putting In tho casserolo. Vegetables may be added If doslred, though tho celery flavor Is sufllclont to mnke a fine flavored dish.

Phillips Brooks, WOMAN WITHOUT A MAID. There Is a Wear and tear on patleuce and strength whotbor a woman does her own housework or directs many servants. The woman who can keep THE SUNDAY DINNER, The Sundny dinner In most homes Is n little more claborato than nn ordi nary dinner, aa there is no need tor hurry, nnd tho family aro nil at home to enjoy it. For tho -busy mother with no ono to help her, a big Sunday dinner has no especial charm, far she needs the day of rest as much as any member of tho family. Ono may have a roast that has been cooked tho day before and reheated for Sunday, or a veal loaf may bo prepared and served cold. Tho salad may bo nil ready to put together on Saturdny, and a des sert, like custard, or a frozen (IIbIi kept In the flrcicBs cooker for des sert. A tireless cooker Is n wonderful help In the sorvantlesa homo. A rtUh of mashed potatoes may be quickly prepared by healing , cold boiled potatoes In boiling water tor a few minute?, then mnsh and sonBon. For tho Sundny night lunch, let th man of tho house prcparo 1L MOBt men think It grent fun, nnd nro espe cially proud when proflcioncy reward their efforts. Begin with slmplo things nt first Uko tho making of dainty Bnndwlches, the preparation of tea or cocoa, and gradually lead up to-raroblt and ome lets. A nlco Sunday night pandwlcD which Is very well liked Is ono mado by .spreading buttorcd bread cut In rounds, with butter, then add chcoBC that has been grated and softened with crenm. Put together snndwich fashion and fry in butter until well browned on both sides. Servo theso sandwiches on a pint of lettuco leaves with a cup of cocon and a dish of fruit and n small cake, and you havo a most appetizing lunch. eay to prepare. A Foe"to Fiction. ,.
