Summer lr ellnp; gowm are essentially
practical and serviceable, at the name time
they are elegant and smrt. With the ex
position added to other temptations, the i
number of women who will spend the sum
tner month enrcute, or stoppInK at hotels,
jiromlset to be a bis one. and every effort
baa been made to devise costumes that shall
combine all the cbhcmIbIs of pood tast
and style.
The one real novelty of the season It.
taffeta, made on severest tailor lines.
Other departures arc variations rather than
anything essentially new, but these simple
silk frowns hive the merit of being fresh
as wall as eminently serviceable nnd chic.
A a rule colors arc black, dark blue, gray,
browu or tan these being most serviceable
hs well as generally becoming. To be quite
correct, they must be simple, and the finish
stitching alone. No trimming of iny sort
Is allowed, unless bamlK of cloth can be
called such. The favorite Jacket Is the
Eton, although short coats Hrc seen. Sklrta
vary somewhat In out, but arc uniformly
of moderate length. These women who
abjure any nctunl clearing of the ground
have them made to touch, but the wiser
among feminine folk order them to escape
contact with muddy streets and much
traveled pavements. Shorter than that
tbey should never be. When It Is quite
possible to combine grace with comfort and
common sense It seems more than toollst)
to rest content with any less result. Wise
women who travel aim to combine taat
with discretion In the selection of their
gowns. These find tailored taffetas worn
with shirtwaists go far toward bringing
about the desirable result.
hurt f lVnll In U'riir.
As a rule the waiuts worn for the Jour
ney are absolutely simple and severe.
Cheviot, madras, mercerized duck, wash
allk, pongee and silk linen make the most
desirable materials. White Is a favorite
but other plain colors and stripes arc used.
The more dressy waists, those that are
donned for the hotel dinner, are more
dainty, nnd may be made of many mate
rials, but fine white fabrics have great
vogue. French models arc hand-cmbrold-ercd
nnd tucked and arc truly fascinating,
but less costly substitutes arc offered by
the score. Persian lawn, linen lawn,
batiste and the like are all obtainable with
trimming of lace and tucking, nnd are as
charming as ntel be. More serviceable ma
terials are found In pongee, taffeta and
louUlno silks, Any ono of these blouses
transforms the gown Into an appropriate
afternoon costume and, besides freshening
the toilet, Is a comfort after hours of the
ahlrt waist, as any complete change Is suro
to be. In addition It Is possible to have
two skirts made for a single Jackot and to
so provldo for many occasions with very
little luggage. The second skirt is longer,
perhaps Includes a flounce, but Is made on
the same tailored lines as the first. With
It and a few fine blouses. In addition to
the short skirt and shirt waist, It Is pos
sible, to be appropriately dressed for any
occasion that Is liable to arise an In
estimable advantage when cither traveling
or sightseeing. The taffeta Is light In
weight and occupies little space. In addition
to which it is cool and It sheds the dust,
characteristics which go far "toward" making
an Ideal 'traveling gown. Really shrewd
women tuck a collar of batiste edged with
Arabe lace In n convenient corner of the
trunk and add It to the Eton when they
don the long skirt, so making a complete
change of toilet with the least possible
friction and luggage.
Popular If Sot Xoirl,
Mohair, lightweight wool and linen duck
nre less novel, but hold their popularity In
spite of sharing It with the silk. For the
two former colors are preferably gray, tan,
brown and mixtures, Linen Is at Its best
In the natural color, but brown, dark blue
and black with white dots and stripes are
added to the list. For all these, as for
the silks, styles are severe and the Eton
leads all other coats, although many take
the modified blouse form. The washable
materials are dcllclously cool and the fact
that they can be laundered makes them a
luxury for short trips, but real Journeys
are rendered more satisfactory by the wool
mohair and taffeta, that can be shaken
and brushed free of dust and that can be
relied upon to endure harder usage without
becoming unsightly. Fresh, dainty, waBh
able gowns are always charming, but what
Is more hopeless than the same costumes
when tbey become bedraggled and Boiled?
Crlspness is essential to smartness and ex
perlence, shows that crlspness is difficult to
maintain for any considerable length of
time. Some of the darker linens are silk
trimmed, but can hardly be commended for
this use. In spite of the fact that we have
ceased to make all our cotton and linen
gowns in a manner to allow of laundering
tho duck must be so treated before dust and
coll can be removed, To rob these gowns
of the possibility of being made new and
fresh by means of soap and water is to
rob them of the very rharacte rlstlc that
makes their charm. Costumes that are
liable to see little service and that w-111 be
worn only when It is possible to keep them
from contact with soli are often trimmed in
such manner, but. as I have already stated
it la the part of wisdom to eschew them
even for brief Jaunts that Inevitably mean
exposure tp dust if not smoke from the
engine.
Mini Dtmt Well.
Mohairs of the better sort arc admirable
tbelr only drawback being greater warmth
than Is involved in silk The Sicilian
shed dust and are readily shaken clean
Handsomo onca are banded with stitcbed
taffeta, but self-trlmmlng Is both correct
and smart. Cheviot is always preferred
by certain conservative women and re
tains Its place whatever novelties may ap
pear. Gray and tan mixtures are most
serviceable, but plain colors are used and
are often preferred In spite of the fact
that every tiny spot is relentlessly re
vealed. Raglans and dust cloaks are much
liked and much In vogue whatever th
material of the gown and make valuabl
additions to the traveling outfit. The
former of lightweight covert cloth,
Cray or tan, and are so loose as to allow o
lipping on and off with ease at the same
time that they perfectly protect the gown
The best seen are half loose, fall to tbr
edge of the skirt and include comfortably

with the point extending to the neck
They are not over heavy and can be car
rled in the strap or carryall when not
In use, while their value In a rain storm or
ahower can scarcely be overestimated.
Oust coats arc both more attractive and
more practical than in any previous tea
son. They are long, loose-fitting and made
of taffeta, pongee, Sicilian mohair and
gloria, all of which materials are Ideal for
the purpose. Some models suggest the
Empire Idea and hang loose from shallow
yokes with deep turnover collars and In
clude hell sleeves. Others are half-fitting,
with scant circular flounces, and others
again are cut after the latter style, but"
are plain at the lower edge. One -of the

Linen ought to be for use, not for show.
Better the simplest cloths, fresh from th
laundry, even if something frayed, than
the richest damask yellow with long lying.

every home that the silver, linen and fine
manners are to be used every day. Use

not wear them anything like so much ns

thus, essential, should be also equal. To
Insure that, have a drawer apart from this

Child Mtlnft.
If Elaine Ooldlng, the 7-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen C. Golding. has
a rival among girls of her age as a swim
mer, diver and general adept In aquatics,
says the Brooklyn Eagle, that rival Is not
known at Dath Beach, where the little mlts
has acquired her almost phenomenal skill
and her never falling confidence In her own
powers.
But It is believed that before long Elaine
will be crowding her big sisters and even
her brother for their honors, for she has
already developed a degree of skill and en
durance which is little short of marvelous.
The Ooldlngs have a cottage at Bath Beach,
on Benson avenue, at uay iweniy-iniru
street. They are among the earliest to ar
rive at tbe bench and the latest to leave.
and every day finds the entire family having
all kinds of fun in the water at the foot of
De Bruyn's lane The Captain's pier, as it
Is called. Is the point from which tbey do
their high diving, and it Is from this point
that their performances are watched dally
by many spectators. Some of these specta
tors will remember one of the features ot
this dally gambol three or four years ago.
This was the appearance In. the water of
Mrs. Ooldlng. with a chubby, pink-faced
cherub hanging about her neck, "pick-a-pack"
fashion.
With the cherub still on her back, Mrs.
Golding would wade out until the water
rose about shoulder high and then she
would swim, with the little one half In the
wntcr and half on her shoulders, out to
the float. Once there, the tot would be
lifted up to the float by her mother, who
would then move back a little and call out,
"Now Jump, baby; Jump, Elaine," Where
upon tho cherub would Jump off the float,
striking the water with a tremendous
splash, to be ca"ght by the skillful mother
and put back on the float. This perform
ance would be repeated several times every
afternoon, and It was thus that little Elaine
learned that most Important lesson of the
swimmer not to be afraid of the water.
Elaine Ik now a stout little miss of
3 cars, as brown as a berry In summer and
the picture of health the year round as,
Indeed, arc all of the Goldlngs. She has
yellow hair and blue eyes, full of fun and
ready for a romp at all times. Elaine's
romps, however, are of the kind which few-
children of her age can indulge, much less
enjoy. For it Is at Bath Beach that she
has her "mostest fun," and It is a kind
of fun that she enjoys with all her heart.
She has ronstered the overhand English
racing stroke, as it i called, a style of
swimming which is used In races, and la
considered the most effectivo stroke that
hao yet bcn devised. Lying on her side,
with one little arm describing arcs above
her head as she reaches forward, while
the other followB It, once the hand Is well
dipped and the stroke has begun, she can
plow her way through the water at an
astonishing rate of speed, swimming not
only rapidly, but with case and grace.
Nor is she less skillful and courageous
in diving, floating and doing all tbe other
tricks known to swimmers. She likes noth
ing better than the plunge from the bath
Ing pavilion on the Captain's pier, which is
fully twenty feet above the water, and not
one of the family makes the dive more
gracefully and confidently than she. In
deed, the other members of the family
have learned by experience that It la not
safe to "dare" Elaine to do anything In tbe
way of swimming or diving, for it Is known
that she will not "take a dare."

FIE-MAKIXn SECKDTS.
The Art f Kaahlnnlns; the tirrut
American favorite.
Forming a hasty conclusion from a re
view of the average family dinner table
of today, it would seem that ple-maklng
has become almost a lost art. But when
we meet such an array of facts as are
given from any one of the "pie factories"
in our large cities, wc arc convinced that
tht popularity of this form of table dell
cacy is not threatened to any great ex
tent. And It Is evident that the "great
pie belt" has expanded very rapidly within
comparatively few years.
The class of people who demand pic and
are willing to pay for good pie nre, sur
prising aa it may seem, not to be found
in the majority In farming or country dis
tricts, but, contrary to all hygienic teach
ings, In our largest cttlet, and arn those
who are chiefly engaged In Indoor occupa
tions and who lead partial if not entirely
Inactive lives. We have been taught to
look upon pie as a promoter of dyspepsia
and its kindred evils, and truly, he who
partakes of some of the pastries under this
head has Just cause to rue his temerity, for
there is nothing more likely to develop a
disposition to view the world through blue
spectacles than a diet nt ptecrust that Is
a compound of sodden, "half-cooked atarch
and indigestible grease.
Pir-Ma!ilns- n Science.
With a demand for this form of food
comes the necessity of self-preservation.
Therefore, the product must be good, not
only In the sense that It is pleasing to
the taste, but good aa a food and sue
tenance; aa It, right or wrong, constitutes
In a large part tho midday meal of a
large majority of our working classes. Tbe
use of pie as a dessert is not bo common
as in former times, perhaps, ThlB Is owing
to the fact that many people reallre that
I pies arc frequently compounds that arc too
hearty for ordinary digestion wnen tney
follow a substantial meal; and another
reason Is that until within recent years
only lard and butter were available as
shortening in pie crust, and these were too
often of inferior quality and always un

everything are of real linen, Irish or Ger
man, grass bleached, band sewed and em
broidered with the hotel initial with a
wreath of oak leaves. Further, in the
table linen section each day ot the
week has a shelf. Monday's clotbi
and napkins go out only upon Mondays.
Tuesdays It is the samc. Even in times of
great stress tbe rule keeps intact. The
proprietor had rather buy extra things than
to set the system ot giving out and check
ing the main supply awry.
This linen room keeps books with Itself.
Every room Is charged with the things
Issued to it, The chambermaids and
laundrymen are responsible for Its safe
return. The laundry, which is up in tbe
airy tip, beautifully lighted and ventilated,
can wash, iron and return ,,000 pieces
within an hour, and that without strain.
Steam, steel and electricity do tbe work,

No housewife, even the richest, can com
mand all that. It has been mentioned
merely by way of exemplifying the value
nf systems. What the hotel does in large,
tbe house-mother may do In little, by divid
ing her shelves and marking the spaces ap
propriately, as "Huck Towels." "Hcra
atltched Towels," "Damask Towels for
Blue Chamber," "Towels and Sheets for
Back Room," or "Nursery Sheets and
Towels," Tie each week's wear with u
separate colored ribbon and beside tbe
marking put matching ribbons numbered
1, 2, 3, 4. With the blue ribbon empty there
can be no question as to which color's turn
Is next.
With a sufficient towel supply, divide tbe
towel shelf and mark tbe divisions with the
days of the week. Thus use can be regular.
To Insure that with napktns, always take
out tbe fresh ones from the bottom of tbe
pile, or else put tbe clean ones underneath
aa tbey come from tbe wash. Keep shelves
and drawers as nearly aa possible tree from
dust. A good way to do it is to curtain
them with white oil cloth daintily scalloped
along the bottom and deep enough to reach
from shelf to shelf. Tack the upper part
to the shelf edge and along tbe bottom sew
atout books eight or ten Inches apart
Opposite every hook in the shelf above and
below put in a tiny brass screw eye. Hook
down tbe curtains after tbe shelves are
filled and hook them up out ot tbe way In

Wholesome Plr.
To many this term will seem a mis
nomer and we admit that there is reason
for skepticism In many cases, but why I
condemn pic without a hearing, more than
the white potato, the steak? In fact any j
other food article that Is commonly and J
dally consumed. Any one of these may be,
by bad cooking, made as unwholesome and
hurtful to good digestion as the tabooed
pic. Even more so lu fact, for though the
pie crust may be made of not too di
gestible materials, If fruits cuter into the
combination the gastric Juices hnve an ally
taht will assist in deposing of the un
welcome visitor. All foods composed of
inferior and badly cooked materials are a
menace to health, whether It be pie or
potatoes, eo whether you regard pie
In the light of a luxury nnd only for an
occasional Indulgence, or consider It a con
venient and satisfying food for a midday
lunch. It must be made of wholesome ma
terials and with due regard to its digesti
bility. Do not make the mistake of considering
a pic crust made with too little shortening
as healthier than a crust that is light,
tender and flaky, for the crust that Is
tough and heavy must be hurtful.
Wlint MnterlnU to 1 sr.
The secret of good pic crust, tender,
flaky and digestible, is so simple that It Is
no secret at all, but depends on materials
selected as much as their putting together
and baking. Flour and shortening being
the two principal factors they must be of
the best. We do not mean that they must
necessarily be expensive, but the best
adapted for the purpose. You cannot use
"any flour" or one you select as specially
recommended for brcadmaklng only and ex
pect to hae a tender, flaky crust; neither
can you use animal fats and ex
pect to have a perfectly digestible pastry.
But you arc not obliged to purchase a
flour and shortening for the ci.peclal pur
pose of making pastry, for If you make a
wise solcction you can obtain both these
materials so prepared as to be suitable for
general cooking and baking, and while hav
ing the best, because the most wholesome,
you have, nt the same time, the most eco
nomical, an obvious fact to nil housewives

is sometimes used, print ipally In what arc
called raised crusts for meat pies and In a
plain pie crust when it must be made ns
quickly ns possible and sufficient time can
not be given to roll and fold the paste
The shortening and the water must be ns
cold as possible and tbe mixing done with a
spatula or flexible knife, tht hand must
never be used. In summer time use the
coolest place In the house for making your
pies, not only to Insure success In the
work, but coolness for yourself
If possible let all paste stand In a cool
place lor scteral hours after it is made
and If tlosely covered It will be greatly Im
proved by keeping it in the refrigerator for
several days. This is a great saving of j
time tor the busy housewife, ns she can
make up sufficient quantity when time will
allow to last for several days, and In warm
weather, when fresh fruit pies are possible,
they should be eaten In a very short time
after being made and not allowed to stand
until the Juices soak Into the crust In
ranking even the plainest crust you will
obtain better results by mlxlug part of tbe
shortening in the flour and when the paste
is mixed, cutting it Into equal parts roll
ing out, spreading with the remainder of
the shortening over each piece dredging
with flour, then laying one piece of paste
on top of the other nnd rolling out from
you to n thin sheet, folding In the sides and
ends nnd rolling again. It Is the folding
and rolling lightly which gives the fluklness.

The paste must be soft enough to roll out
without murh pressure or you will press

adding sugar. This will prevent the lower
crust from being soggy nnd the Juices from
runnlnc out.
Do not grease pie plates. This has a
tendency to make th,e crust heavy and
soggy and there 1 no necessity for greas

Plenty of air boles should be made In the
