An hour's stroll on 5th avenue, in New York, makes the stranger within the gates' wonder if the entire popula: tiofi of Manhattan has chosen the col ventional American uniform in prefer: ence to all other costumes. Tweed jostles homespun, wool jersey and serge are_ shoulder 'to shoulder, heavy crepe de’chine is the companion to tricotine. Suit afteér suit erowds into the procession, each differing little from the other. Against the standardized short coat, with its boxlike lines, and short narrow skirt one constantly sees the tailored suit of other decades; the skirt is narrow and the coat is cut on long, slim lines with seams in front that run from shoulder to hem, accentuating. the length of the wajst line and. the high, narrow shoulders. . \ There is a fitted collar, sharply cut revers and slashes at the sides below the waist line. It is the coat of the Gibson girl who wore the sailor hat, and the hat has come back with the suit. It is 80 old that it is distinctly new. It rises above the'loose box coats of sand- colored serge, covert cloth and oxford gray tweed as a sharp note of distimc- tion in the crowd. All such costumes demand whatever is light and fragile about the neck and over the chest. Therefore neckwear floods the shops. 1t has extraordinary charm this seasop. and one might add that it is a fashfon with a price! One pays as much these days for a strip of organdy with a turnover collar as for a good dimity shirtwaist in those other days when suits were fashionable. a_ white,_organdy might make at home. After’ struggling with it and finding it more complicated than it looks she might be glad to pay the price asked for it. The color is given by bands of lacquered red ribbon which outline a high turnover collar and form a neck- lace effect down the middle of the front. There is a wide graduated pleating of the organdy at the left side. | 'The sketch also shows a mew kind of i turban made of lacquered red ribbon, cith one large bow covering the right de of the face.

A great deal de- perds upon- how long the milded mold has been growing. Sometimes covering it with lemon juice and letting the sun shine directly upon it will remove the spot. Another way is to cover the stain with a mixture of soap jelly and pulverized chalk and then expose it to direct sunlight. Javelle water will generally remove the spot when everything else fails (always follow Javelle water by rins- ing with weak ammonia water, then clear water). But if the mildew stain is very old, there is danger of its never being removed. M.

The fleld of pink and white clover Wwas very tempting. And because fields of pink and white clover are few and far between in big cities the little girl who had never been in the country before made the most of the day on her grandfather’s farm. It was a warm day.in June, and even the small girl, whose name was Betty, was very hot and tired. She tumbled about in the field of clover, and sniffed joyfully. “The bees love the clover, too, dea Do be careful,” called the young aunt who was making ice cream on the said Betty, who was a very little girl indeed, and was not quite sure what boric-acid solution was. The only thing she knew was that her arm ldidn’t hurt any longer, because, as her aunt explained, painstakingly, the acid of the sting had been neutraiized with the alkali of the diluted am- monia water, though a solution of baking soda would have agswered the purpose just as well. ) 1 \blck porch.

The Sewing Nook | Nobody ‘knows, who has not tried the two ways, how much easier and pleasanter it is to pew if you have a little sewing room or sewing nook m:_n it 18 to sew if you haven't onc. his needn't be a big or préten- tious place. Its fifst rexfinane ‘I. that it must be a place apart—a place sacred to the needle and the scissors and the spool of thread. Of course, the ideal thing is a room designed and bullt for a sewing room. This sort of room is fitted with drop-leaf cutting tables, with big cupboards, with a comfortable window for the dewer's chair, an ironing board let into the wall and with base plugs for electric irons and sewing lamps. It has a tiled or hardwood floor, and is in a quiet, cheerful part of the house. But most of us, of course, can't have this sort of sewing room. W. must _have some sort of makeshift and be content with it. arrange to sew in a If you can, pleasant window, with good light. I you can keep a corner of a sitting room or bedroom for the purpose, well and good. If not, you must bring your sewing things to the sew- ing corner whenever you get out your work. Try to have a closet or cupboard where you can keep all these things, or, at least, a big bu- reau or table dmwer. Have a board with spikes of wood, or else nails driven in it, to arrange your spools of silk and cotton on, and take this with you to your sewing corner. Have neatly arranged baskets con taining tapes and measures, thimble emeries and wax, buttons and hook: snap fasteners. elastic and scissor: necdles and pins. Be sure to hav all these needfuls at hand, in order. Their lack when needed is most dis- comiiting. If possible have some place to hang your clothes while they are in the making, for a half-made frock wrin- kles far less if it is neatly kept on a hanger during the process of making. A peg in the living-room wall can often be made to hold the hanger con- taining the frock one is working on, while one works. This keep: frock from wrinkling, and makes thg work of the sewer easier. If you can't do anything better, get a cheap, full-size burlap screen, and fit up one side of each leaf with your sewing outfit. The acreen can be kept In a corner, with the sewing side away from the room, when you are not sewing, and then ft can be brought forth and opened omt and used to convert your corner into a convenient sewing room. On one leaf can be a drop leaf that can be held up by means of a folding leg to form a liitle sewing-stand. Hung to pegs can be your workbags and baskets—with handles. Along one leaf can be a board containing your spools. Your scissors can be Fung neatly from nails along the framework for one leaf, If you exer- cise a little ingenuity you can really make of this sort of screen a most convenient and useful addition to your sewing-day equipment. Chicken Mushroom Cutlets.’ Take one-half pound of cooked chicken, two ounces of cooked ham or tongue, one hard-cooked egg, three raw eggs, -one-half cup of white sauce, six fresh or canned mushooms, some bread crumbs and salt and pep- per to taste. Chop the chicken and the ham fine and the egg and mush- rooms rather coarse. Put the sauce in a pan, add the chopped chicken. ham and mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture over the fire for a:few minutes, then stir in two well beaten eggs and turn out to cool. When the mixture is cold divide it into even-sized pieces, shape each di- vision into a neatly shaped cutlet. Brush them over with beaten egg and toss in fine bread crumbs. Fry in hot fat and drain them well on white paper. Stick a piece of parsley in the end of each cutlet and serve hot. ——— Fancy Fried Uakxes. To one pound of sifted, very dry flour add half a pound of sifted granu- lated sugar. Mix this into a bowl of four beaten eggs, adding the juice of two lemons or oranges. Work the whole into e stiff dougb and knead it well. Roll {t out very thin and cut| into five-inch squares. Cut the low- er half'of each square into strips, then curl or bend up thése fingers, twisting them like ribbons. Drop the cakes, a few at a time, in a kettle of boiling lard and fry a light brown.

I have been more than pleased with the letters I have been getting about the new pilocarpine hair tomic. I knew its value from personal use, hut I was a little afraid that readers lis- ing far from large cities would have difficulty in getting this formula filled. Pilocarpine is sometimes hard to get, and it is probably the most valu- able of the drugs used {n treating the hair. Its vaiue has been known for some time to chemists and special- ists, but even now it i not commonly used in'treating the hair. That is because beauty culture has been con- sidered only a vanity of foolish women, and because man accepted bald head as an infliction sent by Providence to he patiently borne au: such. Personally, 1 do not know any readymade ' ‘tonics contalning _ pilo- carpine. This formula of mine was made by a man whose knowledge of the ‘hair and scalp is extraordinary. and its results have justified every thing he sald of Jt.” The formula, which has been printed before. is: Pilocarpine hydrochlorate Pre. ur. This 1s good for any type of hair, but particularly good for the woman whose hair is going gray. Pilocar- pine acts particularly upon the color cells of the hair. stimulatings them to new life. Cantharides is a general stimulant, creosol (Lilly) is an anti- septic, castor oll is to prevent dan- druft,” sulphur is for the same pur- posh ‘and the rest of the ingredients are necessary for the proper hlending of the combination. This can be used overy day and should be used two or three ‘times a week with a little stimulating massage. i Miss M.—Two or three drops of benzoin in ‘the rinse water, after cleansing "the face, will refine the texture of the skin! An ice rub will also do this, but it will take weeks of persistent care to contract e iarged pores. A few prpfessional Currant Egg Biscuits. Sift together four cups of flour and three heaping teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a tablespoonful of sugar and a teaspoonful of salt. Rub into this a heaping tablespoonful of bytter, add two well beaten eggs, and mix to a soft dough with luke-warm sweet milk. About a cupful will be needed. or half milk and half water may be used. Roll out to an inch-thick sheet, cut in biscuits and bake for fifteen | minutes in a hot oven. If sweet rolls are not wanted. omit_the sugar, or add half a cup of currants, flavor with cinnamon or nutmeg, and bake in a sheet. i Mixed Vegetable Dish. Melt some butter the size of an egg in a pan and brown an onion cut in slices; add a small cabbage chopped or ground up.
