tractive and takes tho fichu form ho

nindo of net handed with ribbon ap
nllcd to form diamonds and Is finished
with frills and ties of chiffon, uluo
ribbon banded. It can, howover, bo
made from one mnterlnl or from vari
ous combinations. Tho capo portion
of sltk, tho frills of chiffon or not
23',
makes ono that always Is attractive
and trnny others might bo suggested.
Tho collaretto consists of tho cape,
two frills nnd tho scarf. Tho upper
frill is applied over tho cape on Indi
cated lines, tho lower is attached to
ltn edgo and passes over tho upper
endfl of tho scarf, so giving a pecu

Tho quantity of material required
for tho medium size 13 4 yards 21
Inches wide, or 2 yards 44 Inches wide,
with yard of any width for the
capo and GO yards of ribbon to make

Salad of Iced Cherries.
Why not servo a dainty fruit salad
with the game courso? Procure ono
largo can each of white and red Cali
fornia cherries, romovo tho pits with
out breaking tho fruit nnd (111 the
cavities with minced walnut meats
moistened with mayonnaise or finely
chopped sweet peppers. Stand tbe
cherries on lcountll chilled, nrrnnge
nests of finely shredded crisp lettuce
odged with small heart leaves on
small plates. Fill tho nusts with as
sorted cherries and a spoonful of thick
cold mayonnnlso dressing, topped with
a slnglo rod cherry and tiny lenves
cut from a green popper. This salad
will bo found most toothsome, as well
as a decided table attraction.
Ono yeast cako Is equal to ono
tencupful of yeast, a measurement
often used In the older, much-prized
cook books.
An innovation for tho table Is boiled
lettuce. Boll tho lettuce until tender;
Horvo tho wholo head nud dros3 with
butter, pepper and salt.
Cracks In Iron kettles may bo
mended with home effort. Mix pow
dered lithargo with glycerin to tho
consistency of uptty. After those ele

llko any cement.
Whon you huppon to have n few
tablespoonfuls of jam or jelly left

makes to baked apples, dropping a

Keep a wire dishcloth to set In tho
bottom of a kcttlo while cooking
anything that may stick and burn.
It will adapt Itself to tho shapo of
a kettle bettor th'nn a trivet or a pail

this purpose exclusively.
Handsome Waists of White Lace.
Very handsomo autumn wnlsts aro
mado of liberty satin and theso waists
aro not necessarily oxponslve. They
may bo In n deep shade of oyster
whlto, trimmed with pnlo whlto lace,
and finished with applications of laco
of a deep shado of ecru.
It is very fashlonnblo to mako laco
waists of half a dozen shades of white
laco and to use tho laco a3 ono would
uso flouucos of silk, with ono flounce
falling over tho other.
Lace, In a shado of lemon white, Is
appllquod with medallions of laco in
blue-white, whilo tho wholo Is em
broidered in stitches that are in a
made of pearl. This gives sovoral
shades of whlto and makes tho waist
much smarter than If It wcro all of a
single tone.
It Is very smart, indeed, to fasten
your white girdle with small blac vel-
&
0-
ct buttons. Set a double row of tuoso
buttons nt tho sldo and. hook your
glrdlo Invisibly underneath. A whlto
sntln stock Is secured In tho snmo
manner, by Invisible fastenings, with
doulo rows of black volvet buttons at
each side of the stock.
Iced Chocolate.
Carefully made and served Iced
chocelnto Is delicious and wholosomc,
though not nearly so well known as It
ought to bo. To prcparo It, put Into a
granite saucepan four ounces of pow
Jorcd unsweetened chocolato and six
ounces of granulated sugar. Add ono
yuart of boiling water, and when well
mixed place over a moderate llro and
cook until the liquid Is of tho con
sistency of thick Byrup. Strain, cool
&nd (lavor'with vanilla nnd cinnamon.
Bottle nnd storo In a cool plnco.
When needed put two tablospoonsful
oi tho syrup In n tall. glass, with threo
tablespoonfuls of whipped cream, ono
gill of milk and ono gill of carbonated
water. Shako well before drinking.
Currant Salad.
Hero Is a combination I never tried
before, but wo found it good, wanting
something different for lunch ono hot
day. I bad slices of corned beef laid
on a bed of lettuce; then wo had In
left chest currants thnt had been
washed and had sugar scattered over
them' and had stood over night on Ice.
I put spoonfuls of these over tho meat.
Served with my mayonnalso dressing,
It was very nice. Instead of currants,
beets cut Into straws and slightly
pickled would be real good. If tho
mayonnnlso gets a little thick It can
bo thinned with vinegar.
Care for Light Colors.
To preserve light colors In shirt
waists that aro built of wash goods tho
amateur laundress is advised to soak
tho waists In n gallon of cold water to
vfhlch has been addod n handful of
Bfilt. Allow them to soak for fifteen
or twenty minutes, then hang up 1
tl.o Bhndo to dry. When onco dry
colored cotton goods can bo washed
without fading, provided a Httlo caro
is used.
