Change to different scenes and a rest from the constant responsibili- ties of the household is an excellent thing for a woman who can afford but there are who cannot take an extended trip of any kind. The most they can do is to go on a summer vacation, thousands of mothers - OUTINGS IN SUMMER WOODLANDS an occasional picnic or other short outing. These short outings and picnics, however, should be as frequent as possible, and, rightly managed, ‘can be made to be of great benefit and Pleasure. Then, too, a housewife can make a “summer resort” of the home to a great extent by good management. The first important thing to do is to reduce the regular routine of work as much as possible eliminating the unnecessary duties and adopting well tested la- bor-saving methods for the necessary duties. For instance, in order to lighten your work, the first thing to do is to free the house of unnecessary articles to_sweep, wash, dust, iron or move. Put the bric-a-brac where it will not have to be dusted; do not iron any article in the wash which can be left unironed. such as sheets, pillowcases, towels, stockings, gauze vests and other articles. Clear everything out of the house except the useful and the beautiful. There are many housewives who even take down their curtains during the hot- test season. but this is a mistake, as such a plain-looking house is woe- THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, tully unattractive. A better way to do is to take down all heavy dra- peries and portieres and have noth- ing but the sheerest and daintiest | curtains that are easily washed. Simplifying the Meal Simplify the meals as much as pos- sible and do as much of the work out doors as possible. Many tasks may be done on the porch or under a trce. Serve meals on the porch if it is sheltered by a vine. When your work is finished” sit anywhere else but indoors. an afternoon each week and devote it to doing nothing; go into the woods or park, lie in the hammock and read, do | the thing on that afternoon that you really want to do, not the thing that you think you ought to do, and don’ forget the picnics. Make up a party of yourself and other house- keepers, or yourself and family. A frequent picnic meal on the lawn or porch would furnish relief to you and enjoyment to the rest of the family. A luncheon consisting of any- thing that one’s fancy may suggest and pocketbook afford may be pre- pared in the morning, and house wife, free from cares in the afternoon, can partake of the meal in a true holi- day spirit. Such a holilday may be easily arranged by the busiest woman. ‘When considering a vacation at home, occupation and entertainment for the children must be provided.

In any event a place must be found for the children if a home vacation is to be a_success. \It is a good plan to have your pic- nies, when possible, within walking distance, near water, and where there 4s a safe spot to make a fire. Never build a fire againat a tree, and never forget to scrape away carefully the dead leaves, twigs and everything else that might catch fire. ~Never leave a fire unwatched, no matter how small it is. Never go home until the fire is absolutely out; put water on it to make sure. A good picnic kit consists of some tin_spoons, iron knives and forks, a| light frying pan with a hole in the! handle “through which to pass al string, So that it can be slung over | the shoulder, a large five-pound bak- ing powder can for a kettle, with a pail attached made of wire, some tin cups slung on a string and car- ried over the shoulder, and some | wooden picnic plates. | A Pienfe Luncheon. H For real enjoyment, the picnic luncheon should be simple. Potatoes roasted in the embers, johnny cake or hoe cake buked over the coals or m*‘ a brick oven, bacon toasted in a split stick, coffee 'or cocoa made in & Ket- tle are infinitely better at a picnic than delicacies carefully prepared be- forehand at home. If you do pack the luncheon at home, however, put it in several separate paper boXes, o that each member of the party can share in_carrying it to the picnic ground. The boxes should be wrapped in_several thicknesses of paper and | carefully tied, to exclude dust and air. It is a relief to discard the boxes and not to be bothered with a basket on the return trip. What cannot be safely carried anywhere else can go | in_the picnic kettie. Individual salads can be packed in lemon skin cases. Eggs, sandwiches, chicken, pickies and other things can all be wrapped in oiled paper -and placed in berry boxes, and several of these could be packed in a good-sized pasteboard box. e paper napking and tablecloth and individual drink- ing cups. Grind the coffee and take ! it in a little tin box, and the sugar in another. Cold meat, sliced and wrapped in wax paper; smoked beef, cheese and cans of baked beans all make good picnic fare. Corned beef or plain boiled beefa run through the meat grinder and mixed with salad dressing will make delicious sand- wiches.

Wrap it at once in several dish towels round the sides and over the ends, then in thick newspaper, and, lastly, tie it up in one of the heavy paper bags such as grocers use for sugar.

Have a blacksmith or other worker in iron take five strips of heavy band iron eight inches long. about an inch and a half wide and an eighth of an inch thick, and rivet them loosely together so as to make a_continuous chain of five arms that will move freely at the joints. Build the camp fire between two parallel or nearly parallel logs, close enough together to permit use of the partially extended stove, or be- tween rocky similarly placed. Place the riveted ends of your stove on the logs or rocks, which should be as level as possible, and set your cooking utensils on the stove. When ready tq move, fold the stove 80 as to make one straight bar, roll it in a piece of cloth, tie a cord round it and throw it in with the baggage. It will last indefinitely, even with the roughest usage. At a summer picnic or party of any Kkind, where refreshments are served a pretty and’ appropriate punch bowl can be made by hollowing out the center of a large half waters melon. Place it in a dish of sand and conceal the sand with flowers of any Kind. A long-handled corn popper is a treasure when camping.

The comfort that a fly vatter and a pocket electric flash Tamr &1l bring cannot be estimated. Clothes of bright colors for children and women are best to wear when on camping vacations, in preference to the duller colors that blend with rocks, trees and_ tall grasses. Bright colors help to distinguish the whereabouts of the grown-up and save many steps in keeping watch over children. ‘u SEEN IN THE WASHINGTON SHOPS m BY ELENORE DE WITT EBY. 1 Will women ever tire of fringe?| Apparently not, for new adaptations are being found for it every day. There are fringed parasols and fringed bags and dashing Spanish fringed shawls, to say nothing of dresses and hats and capes, and now | there is the fringed bathing suit, fashion's newest fad. Of lustrous black satin, it is made on the simplest possible lines, but the trimming, of long silken tassel- | ends swaying here and there, makes it decidedly the aristocrat of the beach. The upper part is.sleeveless and the neck is cut rather-low and round. A narrow sash girdle, tassel- i THE FRINGED BATHING SUIT, FASHION’S LATEST FANCY. finished, defines the walist line, and the fringe is attached a few inches below it. Of course, with the move- ments of the wearer, the shimmer- ing satin foundation is discernible through the fringe veiling. A knit- ted cape is the appropriate wrap to go with the swimming suit and one may be procured in almost any color desired. One model is of bright orange, accordion-pleated, with col- lar and side bandings of blaek an- gora. A bright orange satin ban- dana tied in a saucy bow at one side would be especially effective with the black-and-orange color scheme. Another attractive bathing cos- tume is_of black taffeta, wool-em- broidered. The bodice is fitted rather snugly in basque fashion and cording serves to finish the armholes, square neck and the lower edge, which is cut in scallops. The skirt flares out and is circled by countless rows of fine dark green wool stitch- DAINTY FROCK OF LACE OVER KITTEN'S EAR CREPE. lar of the underblouse, and the belt is also of gray crepe. A quaint gown of tan lace is pic- tured. The foundation is of kitten's ear silk in the same shade, and it is fashioned with a camisole top and a straight-hanging underskirt. The lace | is draped on the satin bodice like a fichu, and is wide enough to give the effect of very short sleeves, but in | reality there are none. Two wide flar- " ing flounces of lace form the skirt, and the girdle consists of some nar- row orange velvet ribbon, with an orange rose at each side framed in foliage and blue buds.
