The shape is odd and new - -a point

made of mtre. is edged with a fold of

This is one of those useful turbans
that are worn at any season of the

Another very new model. In which

PRESENT FOR ENGAGED GIRL
An Apron to Slip on When Bride Doe*
Housework Is Always Ac
ceptable.
V useful and attractive gift for an
! engaged girl is an apron that may
; be slipped on when the bride does
housework, and wishes to keep pre
ventable. Just this type of apron Is
hard to buy. so Is doubly acceptable.
Pn -ably the most useful kind is a
studio apron, such as is used by the
woman artist. Get a good pattern
. with sleeves reaching to the wrists
and cut without too much fullness.
Choose a pink gingham of fine quality
1 or a clear black and white stripe,
which always washes well
Fttr the former trim the neck—
wh;i h should t>e cut slightly square—
ur.d sleeves with a two-inch insertion
of white embroidery, and fasten at
the hack with white pearl buttons.
Tfie black and white apron may be
trimmed with black bias bands, or
with white cotton bands embroidered
in a cross stitch design in black.
A somewhat dressier apron, though
i not so useful for protection, is made
'.ike a waitress' apron, with straps
I over the shoulders A pretty effect
I is had with ecru or pale pink percale,
•be straps embroidered in a cross
-tltch band that is carried on each
. side to the bottom of the apron. The
hem at bottom and sides is finished
with a row of two-chain stitch-bands
1'se several tones of brown or red
mercerized cotton on the ecru apron,
and w bite or black on the pink one.
Hand-Painted Hats.
Verily the clever woman Is in her
<!.*ry these days. Can you wield the
brush’ If »o, mix up your stencil dyes
and sketch lightly a bunch of old gar
den flew era on 'he upturned brim of
the leghorn hat. Then paint the blos
ms using pale pinks, blues, yellows
tr.d It -t the latest thing!
The quality of the straw gives a de
ghtlul undecided line, almost as if
flowered chiffon had been stitched
! over the straw. Of course, the nov
* ty of the decoration is very apparent
a”- in »*r -a’ion of the onlooker is
quick and decided.
- on either the under or
upper s irface can be decorated in the
mixed floral wrea h or in one flower
rhe scope is limitless, and the beauty
most attractive. Try It.
Satin Walking Shoes.
A revolution in the world of foot
gear, but which has been enthusiast
ically received, is tha- of the walking
or outdoor shoe -of black satin. Foi
driving these are charming They are
made with good light soles and suffl
ciently solid heels.
Nothing la prettier, too. than the
bedroom or boudoir slippers designed
i of the beautiful brocades embossed
wl'h gold or silver, which are fashion
able nowadays. These are worn with
teagowns finished all round with the
tiniest rnche of the same brocade, and
with the ruche of tarnished gold or
; silver lace, and a minute bow of old
| paste, mock diamonds or pearla.

The Kitchen Floor.
A cork floor-covering is easily clean.
1 ed and is serviceable. Linoleum is
used in many kitchens. An uncovered
and unfinished floor of hard maple
or birch is durable and reasonable in
cost, but has the disadvantage of bo
ing difficult to keep clean. Tiles cfj
brick are both durable and pictur
esque, but are comparatively expea
siye. A cement floor is more reason
able in cost, and if a few rugs are
used to mitigate its hardness, it will
be a great joy. With a cement dado
going up two or three feet around
the walls and a sanitary drain in on*
corner, this floor might be cleaned
with the hose every day.

To Make Good Coffee.
French cooks are famous for the
excellence of their coffee, which they
make so strong that one part of the
liquor requires the addition of two
parts to reduce it to the propet
I strength.
This addition is made with hot
milk. The large proportion of hot
ynilk. in place of so much warm j
water, gives the coffee a richness like
that made by the addition of cream in
the ordinary way By this means any
' housekeeper desirous of making good
coffee, can have it without cream.
Baked Potato Balls.
Rub cold mashed potatoes left from
yesterday, smooth with a spoonful of
; warm buter and soften with warm
| milk. Beat up an egg in it. stir until
hot in a clean greased frying pan. not
allowing it to “catch” on the side. '
Then let it cool. When cold and stiff !
make into bails, roll these in flour and
bake upon a greased pan until well
browned. Pile on a hot plate.
When Baking Potatoes.
Use one of the new wire frames that
may be had for a few cents. You stick
the potatoes on little upright points,
the potatoes bake all over at once
and you do not burn your fingers in
turning them over or getting them
out, for you can put a dozen potatoes
on the frame and put it In the oven
Just like any other pan.

Not Necessary to Leave Home.
In an effort to stop the migration of
dying consumptives to the south west,
the National Association for the Studd
and Prevention of Tuberculosis will
ask physicians to be more careful in
ordering patients to go away, and will
also ask railroads to discontinue their
practice of selling ‘•charity” tickets
to those who cannot afford to pay full
fair. "No consumptive should go to
Colorado. California, or the west for •
his health,” says the association, "un
less he has a good chance for recov
ery from his disease, and unless espe
cially he has at least $1-000 to spend
for this purpose, over and above what
his family may need.
"Tuberculosis can be cured in any
part of the United States, and it is
not necessary for a tuberculosis pa
tient to go west. Whenever possible. .
the National association urges tuber
culosis patients who bave not ample
funds to go to a sanatorium near
home, and if they cannot do this, to
take the cure in their own- homes, un
der the direction of a physician.”
THIRTEEN YEARS
Unlucky Number for Dakota Woman.
The question whether the number
“13” is really more unlucky than any
other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. Dak. woman, after thirteen
years of misery from drinking coffee,
found a way to break the "unlucky
epell.” Tea is just as injurious as cof
fee because it contains caffeine, the
drug in coffee. She* writes:
"For thirteen years I have been a
nervous wreck from drinking coffee.
My liver, stomach, heart—in fact, my
whole system being actually poisoned
by it.
“Last year I was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally It dawned on
me that coffee caused the trouble.
Then I began using Postum instead of
coffee, but with little faith, as my
mind was in such a condition that I
hardly knew what to do next.
“Extreme nervousnes and falling
eyesight caused me to lose all courage.
In about two weeks after I quit coffee
and began to use Postum I was able
to read and my head felt clear. I am
improving all the time and I will be t
strong, well woman yet.
“I have fooled more than one persoi
with a delicious cup of Postum. Mrs.
S. wanted to know where I bought my
fine coffee. I told her my grocer had
it and when she found out it was Pos
turn she has used it ever since, and
her nerves are building up fine.
“My brain is strong, my nerves
steady, my appetite good, and best of
all, I enjoy such sound, pleasant sleep."’
