There is the grass linen ore, either plain or dotted, and lald over tinted silk to wear In the mornings, or with a@ grass liren gown at any time of day. A very pretty one can be bought for $3. ‘Then there are the Dresden silks, which can be carried with any kind of costums. Most, of these have enameled haniles, or what have always been called Dresden handles. Some have little glass marble- like knobs at the ends. Then come the lace and chiffon sun shades. These have very little that is sub- stantial about them. There is a cent piece of silk about sixteen inches in diam- eter, with net or chiffon draped from it to form the edge of the parasol. One has two ribbon stripes around the edge, with an open stripe between, through which a naughty ray of sunlight might easily slip and burn her ladyship’s nose. A pretty trimming is alternate rows of lece and old rose ribbon running around the parasol. Indeed, all the new parasols have stripes running around and not up and down. A few have puffs or strips of ribbon run- ning from the neb a few inches down on the silk, but never the whole leng!

Have it cooked tender in slightly salt- ed water, then lift it eut and cut it in small pieces without hing. Make a thick gravy of cream, flour and | per and butter, and stir the «sparagus in nd then pour UL full put on the top. use the s the oven any more t p—and lay t cn a kot platter. nm pour over them cooked tomato prepared with salt, pepper and plenty of butt ook and s at, use the v ry S| nv, and serve “cooking butt table. It is folly to think that you can take the foul-smelling stuff sold for 10 and 15 cents and disguise It so that it will not utterly ruin everything you put It in, In froning lace frills on underwear or lawn Gresses you can make the lace look almost ike new after this fashion: Iron all the rest of the garment, then have a clean, very wet cloth at hand,with which spat the lace til it is pretty damp, then rub it over with a moderately warm iron. Do the smoothing of the lace rapidly and leave it quite lamp. As soon as you have finished a ruffle or a sleeve, sit down and gently pull the lace out to its fullest width, smoothing and patting every fine stitch the edge into shape. When you once get sed to it you will not have to spend much t it that way. If you like, you can iron on the wrong side after pulling, but it looks better without, If you do it properly. An excellent way to wash delicately cul- ored cottons, which you may wish to starch, is as follows: Make a gallon of rather stiff flour starch. It must be as smooth as © be, without a lump in it. light, use a very little bluing. If they are dark, make the starch very blue indeed, and if they are black, use strained coffee to mix the starch with. Pour a half of the starch in a tub and thin ft to the consist- ency of rich milk, with soft water if it can be procured, or water with a little borax in it. If the colors are of the “runny kind, add a big handful of salt to the | water. Wash the cottons through this on a board, without soap, rubbing gently, but carefully. Rub through a second starch Water, and then rinse in blue water with a handful of salt, but no starch. If there ems t§ be too much starch left in the gar- ment a second rinse water will remove a ttle of tt. The water should all be about mer, and a sunny |, SO that the clothes will dry quickly. Sometimes even the starch wash falls to keep the cottons in good color, but I have seen very dainty lawn kept in perfect condition with such treat- ment. Cottons treated this way seem to hold their newness longer, Rice croquettes are appetizing. Two cups of boiled rice, one well-beaten egs. a heap- ing teaspoonful of good butter and a te day should be select pecnful of salt--or enough to s aten thoroughly together. Roll into small balls, and then roil in corn meal or finely grated b i crumbs and fry brown in hot lard. They requi ire rather longer than must ngs to fry. If you want “green: of boiling a piece of m sh the greens throug! are that all insects are removed, a1 leaves in a pot of boiling water.

Put hack in the pot and salt, and let them boil up a mo- ment, then lift on a hot dish, and pour over them a half a cup of melted buttar which has been seasoned with a little salt and some pepper. Slice hard-boiled egg over the top, and serve with sliced lemon. without the trouble t, try this rec! If fish in any shape has formed a part of the recent meal in your house, you can be pretty sure that the odor has penetrated to every nook in the house. To eradic vestige of that or any other off. ve odor, pour a mixture of vinegar and sugar jon a red-hot griddie and let it burn to a crisp. The odor is not unpleasant, will effectually root out a cabbage, fish or onion odor. Burning coffee is quite as etti- cacious, Maybe you can get relief from your troublesome cough by using a mixture of slycerine and milk. A tablespoonful of gly- ine to a haif cup of hot milk, swallowed as hot as can be borne. It soothes the ir- ritated parts. About three times a week treat your sink drain to a liberal bath of hot concentrated lye water, and then let the hot water faucet run for a few moments. Then pour down the drain a hot solution of copperas water You can then feel sure that no impurities from that source will trouble you. ——— The Maidens and the Muskrats. From the Philadelphia Times. A drove of muskrats, latge, sleek fellows, almost the size of a cat, ran things for a | time in one of the rccms at the Central High School in Duluth, and succeeded in causing a cismissal of the pupils till a war of extermination had been carried on. A recitation was in progress when the animals made their appearance from a desk, where they had evidently been placed by some fun-loving scholars, and in a sec- ond the room was in an vproar. The young women jumped upon the desks, and from this safe position watched the boys chase the rats, some of which showed fight.

At this season the mother with a large family and moderate purse Is apt to envy her rich relghbor, who goes to the shops and orders clothes and hats galore fur her children, If she is a sensible mother and does not tax her strength in useless tucks and frills, but surveys her fleld carefully, choosing strong, durable colors for all-day play und a few dainty gowns for evening wear, her children will look as sweet and pretty as Mrs. Moneybags’, and she need not sew from morn to set of sun, either.
