It take rexpense, but the girl who makes the attempt will find her efforts appre- fciated by those who can afford the {most ultra entertaining. to entertain does It does not cost much to have a dozep or more friends in for a cup of tea, Any woman can manage this. A well-appointed tea table vith one girl to pour while the host- ess makes herself agreeable to her guest can be made ery pleasant. Be sure the tea is good, the sand- wiches novel and delicious, and the cake home-made. That is all that need be served, though extra touches, like homemade candy of unusual kind, crisp buttered toast, or salted peanuts are inexpensive additions. I7 the food is good it will appeal to palates. Two quarts of ice cream will serve a dozen guests if put in smail glasses. This will be not more than $1. A delicious home made cake will cost for material 60 cents or less. For candy one could make seafoam for the cost of two pounds cf brown sugar, and four quarts of salted peanuts would be 25 cents more. Make your money go as far as you can. Get things that have a distinct use, and even your guests will be pleased. Even a luncheon is not impossi- ble for the woman who has $5 to ispend on entertaining a dozen guests, If she has a home, or even a ‘kit'hcnnne apartment, she can give creamed soup in cups, a simple salad and modest dessert.

Reversible hats have come to keep company with reversible coats. They are the newest novelty in the millinery shops, and are so arranged that each hat may be worn in fine weather or in wet weuther. In other words, one side is suitable only for fine weather and the other side can withstand the rain and snow. The hats are adapted spe- cially for traveling, walking in the country or even for riding and driv- ing. They are made of straw, neatly |lined throughout. The straw is ex- [tremely pliable and bears turning, /tent. The trimming consists of a SEWING HELP OF REAL VALUE 8crapbag Attached to the Machine Is an Accessory One Cannot Afford to Be Without. The woman who uses a sewing ma- chine will do well to make herself a | good-sized bag, that can be attached | to the side frame of the machine and used to collect all scraps and bits of thread left from the sewing. Select an embroidery hoop 8 inches in dizmeter and cretonne 16 inches long and 14 inehes wide. Sew the the edze of the other side over the hoop and rnn a gathering thread in the hem thus formed. When finished draw up the thread the size of the hoop and catch it tight. This will | make a bag that is gathered on to the | hoop and is amply full in body to hold | a goodly number of scraps before it i3 necessary to empty. Another sewing help is to have a pattern bag hung back of the machine. Make inside pockets to this bag, in which you can keep the patterns be- longing to the different members of the family. Have also two extra pock- ets that hold patterns of fancy aprons, bags or dress accessorles. A deal of time and stremgth can be saved in the hunting of patterns and picking up bits oft the floor if your machine is equipped with these two handy bags, ECCLESIASTICAL TURBAN. lace and under-sleeves of coarse mesh- | || Copyright, U'nderwood & Underwood, N.
