Photograph Fads
There are-some persons who, with
out being at all conceited or self
centered, are always immensely in
terested in the subject of their own
photograph. Their own features are
to themselves immensely interest
ing. It seems to them a matter of
great importance that they should
fcve faithful reproduction of those
features and that their friends
should likewise possess sich repro
ductions. So they vist t'ne pnotographers
from time tc time, trying out the
different members of the picture tak
ing profe?fori in turn.
Sometimes this craze for photo
graph? is possessed by a mother
ho 'das her walls plastered with the
photographs of a favorite child. And
nothing usually pleases that mother
better than to have you plead for
one of these photographs. It is one
of her favorite subjects of conversa
tion. .
Sometimes this photograph mania
takes tne torm oi manine enlarge

ments from snapshots, and truth to
say, some cIVming effects may be
gained in thi! way. To some folk
the thought that a good likeness and
an interesting composition was
gained without tbe aid of a profes-
.onal photographer adds new in
terest to tne picture, dui wun oiners
the photograph doesn't amount to
much unless there is the name of
the photographer to show.jto you and
to indicate that the picture costs,

Paper Doilies and
Table Tops
No greater labor, time and linen
savers ever were invented than the
paper doilies and paper napkins, but
some of us have been slow to adopt
them for various reasons, probably
the main one being the fact that
table tops will become starred from
usage. This will happen, however,
whether paper or linen doilies are
ased, and really is not such a serious
matter, for a table is almost never
marred , so severely that it cannot
be refinished at home.
The wood in the table top has
been thoroughly treated in the fac
tory and finished with varnish or
shellac. It is only this top layer of
varnish or shellac that is injured,
and a light rubbing with powdered
pumice stone and oil will remove the
top layer and with it the disfiguring
marks. It does not take very much
or hard rubbing to do thi's and the
table may be refinished either with
wax arty good wax polish will do -or
after applying the wax the table
may be given another rubbing to
remove any excess of wax left on
the surface and a light coat of thin
shellac put on over it. Varnish will
not take hold of a surface that has
been waxed.
It is unnecessary to call a cabinet
maker to do this work. It is no
more difficult than putting on a wax
polish. -
Paper doilies have come into fairly
general use on silver cake and sand
wich plates, and many housekeepers
have a supply of them on hand for
this purpose. The same kind of
doilies come in sets in the same
sizes and numbers as the linen
doilies. They are inexpensive and
surprisingly pretty. The large one
for the center varies in size. Espe
cially for use on dark walnut or ma
hogany tables are these paper doilies
attractive. ' '
It gives a summery look to the
bedrooms, too, to use paper doilies
on the dressing table and dresser
tops. For the . average dressing
table, five doilies arranged as neces
sary to accommodate the toilet arti
cles, will obviate the use of linen
scarfs, and the attendant laundering.
The same stores which sell the pa
per doilies are showing some at
tractive paper napkins. Some of
these are of heavy paper resembling
linen. Upon touching them one
finds that they are heavy, soft crepe
paper, of much better quality than
one expects h a paper napkin. One
pattern has a border of tiny squares
pressed into the paper. These nap
kins run from IS to 30 inches in size,
and may be folded and used exactly
as are the linen ones. The paper is
of such good grade that one napkin
may be refolded after a meal and
used several times.
For the seashore, or for summer
camps, these paper substitutes for
linen will prove especially valuable,
in view of the laundry problem. It
is probably safe to say that the
housekeeper ' who becomes accus
tomed to the use of paper in her
summer home will Continue to use
it when winter sends her back to
town.
Offered for sale with the paper
doilies and napkins, one finds the
new paper picnic accessories, such
as waxed paper sandwich bags, a
good grade of waxed paper plates
and spoons, as well as the sheets of
waxed paper which are so handy in
the kitchen.
The small paper dishes with cor
rugated sides are useful, too, for
serving peas or salads or desserts
and especially for buffet lunches.

Garnishing From the Garden
Some housewives have such a hap
py faculty of trimming even the
simplest dish with leaves or flowers,
while it would never in the world
occur to other housewives to go -to
the trouble to add this little aesthetic
touch that surely makefc the meal
more attractive.
Certainly the garnishes need not
always be edible. Cherry leaves are
especially attractive, and if you have
a cherry tree in your garden or or
chard, remember that these leaves
add to the appearance of many sorts

cream looms much more tempting
if it has a wreath of cherry leaves
about it. Peach ice cream is doubly
attractive encircled- with peaci.

To Wash Rag Rugs
Rag rugs often have a limpness
after washing-that makes them un
wieldly and easily kicked up. A lit
tle starch added to the last rinsing
water will help to give body and
straightness to small rugs. Wring
the rug carefully and pin on line
with plenty of pins. If the rug is
folded with the long edges together
tc wring and hung on the line with
the long edge pinned the rug will be
straight and even when dry.
Late Summer.
The reaper thinks of harvest, and the
children think of nutting,
And the bramble feels her hips
growing red and growing
strong.
The ladybirds, like rubies, hang
upon the leaves of elder,
And the dew is colder night by night
that drops upon the guelder:
And in the yellow cornfields the
steady scythes are cutting
All day long.

How 3 Make Toast.
A fine grained bread, which can be
cut in slices not more than a half
inch thick, makes the best toast. It
will be lighter if the bread is
warmed through thoroughly before
it begins to brown. Heat it on one
side and turn before browning it.
Th;s partly dries the bread, as you
will notice by the way the first
heated surface contracts and the
outside rounds out. ,
' Bread contains from 30 to 40 per
cen of water, and for invalids this
is. all dried out, when bread is
toasted, bor others it should be
dried just right and that is a hard
say:ng, for one has to. learn by ex
perience what is the right sort of a

not be done too slowly or the toast

most palatable brown surface is got
when the bread is thoroughly hot
but neither too moist nor too dry.
Do not press down on toast in
buttering it, unless it is totally dried

Have the butier a little soft, and
butler while hot. Toast weltering in
butter is unwholesome. Do not pile

Butterscotch Pudding.
Melt two tablespoons of butter,
stir into it until smooth two table
spoons of flour. Add four table
spoons of brown sugar, and stir into
the mixture one cup of hot milk, stir
thoroughly, then put over the fire,
and stir constantly until the mix
ture thickens. To make an exceed
ingly sweet pudding add almost
half a cup of sweetening. Instead
and set in pan buttered and sprinkled
heavily with sugar or syrup, let rise
and finally bake in a rather hot oven.
Brown Sugar Syrup.
To keep the sugar from sugaring
off on the bottom of the schnecken,
it is best to make a syrup with some
commercial syrup, corn or malt, add
ed. The latter gives the best results.
I , think. To one cuo of sugar add
four tablespoons of the syrup heat
ed to run thinly and four table
sDoons of water. Stir, till dissolved
and cook to syrup stage.
