The model ( "Is made of blenched pongee. the straps being of taffeta trimmed with sllle discs , but numberless materials : are both seasonable and smart , cot- ton and linen being quite as suitable , as sllle.

The front Is tucked for its full length at the center , to yoke depth from the : sholllliers and gains the effect of a . central box plait by the fact that all tucks arc turned olltward The back Is tucked at the center only and the 'trImming Is arranged between the groups of tucks at the front , to out- line those at the hack and over the sholllders , giving the broad : IIno.

Very smart milliners did their best to introduce the real 1830 poke or Florentine ; straw with orchard truck ornamentation , but It wag no go , and instead woman has accepted a bonnet of handmade satiny straw braid I trlrnmetl simply with a band of very broad soft ribbon around the high crown and a huge broad bow across the front.

Few Hints on Travtin , . A dross.sult case will carry all the ordinary woman requires for a twon- t.follr-holll' trip A change of shirt- waists , an extra pair of stockings a pair of easy slippers some underwear. a negligee , and a few toilet neces . i- ties are about all a healthy woman requires on the way , with her umbrella - brella of COIII'se. - - - - - Fancy Collars. Embroidered and fancy collars rep- resent such u multiplicity of style one scarcely knows where to touch the fingers while malting a s-alectlon. The smartest of them are made of lace embroidered or of LouIs \VI. embroideries - broltlcrles In soft linen. Then there are deep lace collars embroidered wIth small colored floral effects In black chenille anti gold thread which brighten lip a black taffeta bodice wonderful ! Narrow silk ties with lace ends outlined with a narrow silver - VOl' Russian cord are pretty , and these display three or more sliver tiny cord buttons on the mitered ends. The lawn embroidered cravats look well on pink and blue bodices , and there are collar and cuff sets made of fine lace insertion trimmedIth white silk soutache. - - - - i Before boiling milk or making any . sauce with mlllt always rinse out the saucepan In colll watOl' When juice Is left from canning It may be boiled low made Into jelly or sirup for flavoring purposes Macaroni should be kept In an airtight - Ugh receptacle and when cooked l'h1hged Into boiling salted water.

Do ants Injure the , bees apart from robbing them ? Formerly I believed that the ant were a cause of Injury to the bees , but I have now come to the conclusion ' sian that they eta little or no harm to .I the colony It Is the warmth of the : t cluster that attracts them rather than the bees or honey. The ants disap- pe.\r as the colonies become stronger anti the weather becomes settled and warm. But in the meantime , If you wish to get rId oC them it Is easily Ilone. Locate theIr hills and make several holes In them with a croww . bu. ' . Pour Into each of the holes a small quantity of gasoline or even common lcol'oseno all Is quite as ef- fectlve. Plug up the holes anti In a day 01' two you will find all the ants Ileall. - - - - - Weeds In Asparagus Bed . , J.
