THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNF. NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA. Beautiful Things for Late Summer REFINED PROCESSES OF FRUIT GROWING ' ' ' II I L 1 i . ! I TH.l . BiJM HK last and tho most fascinating word that tho goddess of fashion has uttered is tills whisper of crepe and chiffon in which she tells her dream of the hest of the things for midsummer. One may follow tho sown pictured hero and he sure that it will outlast the summertime, and that tho fall and winter will see its day of greatest triumph. There is haidly a color in which it cannot be developed effectively. In repe or satin (of tho clingy kind) it allows the fulness that such fab rics demand, without any building out of the ilgure. The underskirt is cut to hang in at tho nnklea and i caches to the infetep. It Is made of the crepe or satin. Sot on to a yoke of bordered chiffon at a point a little below tho swell of the hips is a side plaiting of bordered chiffon. This Is in a dark er shade (and might be In black) hem stitched on. The open-throated blouse is cut on the samo lines as tho kimono and oth er full, draped blouses, but the sleeve is lengthened into a mousquetalre with a narrow turned back cutf. It Coiffure Cap for . ysiis; s" - - rtzzr" . . ..-j.dri-xHss COIFFl'RE caps are almost a neces-1 slty for those light-footed young women who dance the airy and tho rather acrobatic stops of tho modem ' dances. Here nro two from Carller of Paris that aro attractive and becoming to the youthful faces they aro pictured with, and even moro becoming to older faces that belong to equally energetic dancers. Tho foundation of tho first cap is of silk messallno or other light weight anil highly lustrous fabric. Over it a rather heavy laco cap is placed. A rosetto mado of tlnaol petals and a tinsel cord finish tho decoration. Tho cap Is confined to tho head by nn elastic cord, which adjusts it firmly to plnco. The second cap Is mado of a heavier silk, with a spangled net draped with V wrinkles about the arm and must extend fully to the knuckles. The neck Is finished with a narrow turnover collar of chiffon. About the waist is the very simplest of girdles made of wide ribbon tied In a two looped bow at tho front. Tho soft un derbodlce with Medici collar Is as sheer as lace and chiffon will make It. Pretty and equally soft corset cov ers (with no corset under them, by tho way) must bo worn under these very sheer waists to make tho best effect. Ther" are plenty of corsetless gowns and more to be worn with cor sets that extend hardly abovo the waist and much below it There Is an odd and attractive hat with this gown. It is mado of braid sewed over a shape that every one is familiar with. It is one of those good things In mlllinerj which, with little variation, live through at least three seasons. Perched all over it aro butterllles, simulated In small wings, made of feathers. Beautiful and soon passing, they appear to have flocked to the head of the wearer, veri lying the old adage about "birds of a feather " Modern Dancing it. It Is arranged in folds, and Is, In fact, n sort of oriental turban which sets close to tho head and falls, with much graco. to tho nape of tho neck. It is Impossible to keep the hair confined during tho buoyant steps and frolicsome springing about In which tho now dances abound Those llttlo caps have proved the hest solution to tho difficulty of keeping the head neat looking at tho dancing party. There aro many other designs In caps, made of beads or of tulle or of boadod and spangled matorlals. In fact, tho doslgns aro almost as numer ous as the steps that aro danced. Thorn la no limit to tho Intter; ovory ono invents ono for himself and hia partnor and presents It to tho dovotees of dancing with as much satisfaction as a painter takes in a masterpleco of hla art.

Peanuts nro valu able ns a food and In lato years aro largely used to prepare the well known peunut butter As tho peanut Is 30 per cent fat, oil Is also made from it This oil when fresh Is especially salads. nice for The peanut Is equally good baked liko tho bean if taken in Its uncooked state. ' A cream soup mado from the raw ' peanuts Is very good and nutritious Tho outside skin may be removed by putting the nuts through a slovo after cooking altogether; when baked tho skin Is not moro Indlgestlblo than that of tho bean. The peanut makes a most delicIouB salad In combination with' many other foods. A most delicious candy, In fact sev eral kinds of, candy, may be prepared with tho peanut for the chief flavor. Peanut Brittle. Melt two cupfula of granulated sugar In a smooth, clean saucepan over tho heat, when the sugar Is melted and beginning to turn a golden brown, pour it out into a greased pan which has been well sprinkled with fresh peanuts. Peanut Cookies. Cream two tnblo spoonfuls of butter, add a cupful of sugar, and an egg well beaten. Mix and sift ono teaspoonful of baking powder with a half cupful of flour, a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and add to tbo ilrst mixture, then add a half cupful of finely chopped peanuts, two tablespoonfuls of milk, a half teaspoon ful of lemon Juice and drop on a but tered sheet, using a teaspoon, and decorate each with half a peanut This reclpo makes 24 small cakes. A pint of peanuts unshelled will mako half a cupful. Peanut Candy (Delicious). To sir ounces of butter add a pound of light brown sugar and Btlr over a steady heat, cooking for ten minutes after tho llrst bubble ts seen. Add a cupful of peanuts rolled until like coarso crumbs, spread In a buttered pan and mark oft In squares at once. I never saw an oft-removed Tree, Nor yet an oft-removed Family Tliut throvo'so well as those that set tled be. Fond prldo of Dress Is sure a very eurso. Ero Fancy you consult, consult your pause.

Tho variety of sandwiches which aro wholesome for tho llttlo peoplo is legion, and tho chief thing after being sure that thoy aro whole somo and digesti ble is to havo them appeal to tho oyo. Halsln bread baked In sipall loaves makes nice sandwiches lor the, party. Prunes mixed with a few woll chopped nuts and spread on buttered circles or bread, then cut the circles in halves, Is another. Steam the prunes and flavor with a bit of lemon without nuts If It seems Inadvisable to uso them. Meringue cases mado of whlto of egg, baked and then hollowed out to hold ico cream aro cunning concoc tions Chilled Nut Dessert Chopped marshmallows. pecan meats and whipped cream aro blended and served In stemmed glasses. Garnish with a candled cherry. Small cups mndo of patty cakes baked of spongo mixture and hollowed out, and filled with Ico cream or flav ored and sweetened whipped cream. When flavoring whipped cream add a few drops of maplolno to tho cream to glvo It a pleasant change In flavor. Charlotte Russe Take the yolks of four eggs, four tablespoonfuls of su gar, two tablespoonfuls of gelatin dissolved In a cup of hot milk and two cupfuls of whipped cream folded In at tho last. Fasten lady fingers or wa fers together and pour In the mlxturo to harden. Garnish with halves of po cans.

As tho days grow warmer the meals should becomo lighter. This Is tha tlmo when tho cool, re freshing fruits nnd vege tables aro most welcome If hot meat Is desired for ono meal It may ho so cooked that It will servo nicely ns a cold dish on tho day follow ing Peanuts and Rice. Stir enough peanut but ter Into hot cooked rico to season it well, then add milk, egg and cracker crumbs, leaving somo crumbs for tho top, and bako a nice brown In tho oven. Ga'rnlsh with parsley when serving. There Is no moro wholesomo vege table fruit than rhubarb and It Is especially good In tho enrly summer Made into tarts, baked puddings, Jams, meringues and charlottes, It Is alwnya welcome. Chicken Salad. When something good Is wnntcd this is worth trying. Take four cupfuls of finely cut chick en (veal may bo used for part of the amount If so desired, and If tho chick en nnd veal bo cooked together It will bo hard to tell veal from chicken), two cupful- of minced celery hearts or tho most tendor portion of tho cel ery, ono small green popper llnoly chopped, ono teaspoonful of onion Julco and boiled dressing, which la well seasoned, mixed well with tho salad. Much tasting Is vory essential in tho preparation of any dish, for often tho lack of a bit of seasoning mars tho whole.

DELICIOUS MILK DISHES. Milk Is such n staple artlclo of food that vo are prone to forgot that thero aro count less ways of using It, other than au nnturel. Creamed Lamb With Peas. Cut out rounds of bread, toast them and dip tho edges in boiling Baited water, then spread with butter Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, cook this In two of flour; add a fourth of a teaspoonful each of salt and pnprlka, then gradually stir In a cup of rich milk and stir until tho sauce thickens. When ready to servo, add a cup and a quarter of cooked lamb cut in bits. Dispose this on the rounds of bread and servo hot. Lamb Souffle.

Fine Niagara Bagging grapes is ono of tho moro roflned processes of fruit growing that every man should test for himself. Thero aro varlouB conditions to bo con sidered upon which Its prolltabluncsn depends. Does your market demand a fancy article and Is It willing to pay for It? At four or live centB a pound for grapes It payH to go to somo extra trouble. Again, do you suffer much Iobh from tho birds? In some districts they aro vory destructive and scare crows aro not of much avail. Hot, too, 1b to bo considered, though somo growers assert that bags aro not a preventive of this disease. If giapes aro bagged at the proper time, which Is soon after blooming, they certainly will not rot unless the ennes nro already full of rot spores, and after the vineyard has once been thoroughly clenred of tho Infection It Bhould not again bo easily affected if tho fruit Is kept covered. Hugging does not appear to bo much resorted to throughout tho West, but In tho East with its higher priced markets somo growers find It prolltablo to bag their ontlro crop. Tho com mon paper bag in uso at tho grocery Is usually employed, In tho two-pound tilzc. A thousand bags should not coBt moro than 75 cents. Tho usual way Is to fasten them with a common pin. Do not pin thorn around the stem of tho bunch, but over tho cano from which tho cluster depends. Tho edges of tho bag should bo folded down nnd then pinned securely so as to oxcludo tho rain as well as tho Insects. SPRAYER IS HANDY FARM IMPLEMENT Tool May Bo Used on Flowers, Vegetables and Small Fruits of Gardens Pays Its Way. cny II. II. silHPAitD) If you do not havo a hand sprayer, trtjrchaBO ono right away. There aro many good ones In tho market, rang ing in price from 50 centB to $5, ac cording to slzo and construction. For tho flowers, vegotablea and Binall fruits of tho garden, a Brnall cheap sprayer, having for tho liquid holder a common quart mason Jar. We advise its uso whore thero Is only a small amount of spraying to bo done. Tho vessel being of glass, you can tell how much of the spraying mlxturo you are using It Is easily detached for refilling, tho liquids will not cor rode, It Is light, easy to handlo In fact, unlquo In every respect For $1 or $5 you can purchaso a largo sprayer, suitublo for garden nnd fruit trees, and for whitewashing, or a mnll ono for $2. With it one can whitewash a largo hen houso and outside In hnlf au hour. A neighbor bonowed It atid sprayed his ten-acre young apple orchard with it.

A very small lncrcnso In tho prlco will pay for this work as can bo readily seen. Hugging Bhould bo dono when tho bloom drops for tho best security, but Is often dono during tho next few days It has been Bald It 1b a specific not only for rot but for all manner of birds and Insect posts.

Not only does It prcsorvo tho per fectness of each berry, but nlso their dellcato bloom which greatly height ens their beauty. Somo varieties aro Improved not only in looks but oven In flavor, becoming sweeter and sweet er after tho llrst stago of ripeness. Anothor groat advantage In bagging Is thnt It is ono of tho beat ways to preserve tho grapo In its rlpo condi tion. Many varieties will remain fresh and sound until froBt, nnd even then can bo cut oft, laid away in a cool plnco and kopt still longer. They havo been kept till Christmas.

Unfortunntely two insects aro In eluded under this ono common name Thoy call for radically different treat ment because ono tho Cucumber Hco tlo 1b a biting Insect, while tho other or true Squash Hug la a Bucking In sect, which attacks melons, cucumbers and squashes. In combating .tho truo Squash Hug, tho, small plants may bo kopt covered with chceso cloth over light frames or hand picking of tho largo yellow eggs and of tho bugs themselves in tho early morning may bo resorted to.
