OW is the harvesting time for the
woman irho knows how to make a
remarkably smart appearance on
very little money. True, the stock In the
stores has been pretty -well picked over,
tout the keen shopper has learned by
several years' experience that not a lew
wonderfully desirable articles left among
the moat exclusive goods have been re
duced to a price within reach of her
purse. "With this end in view, she has
caved her "pennies during the Spring and
early Summer, titivated her previous
year's frocks to "make them do," and Is
now reveling in some extremely modish
creation of Dame Fashion which will give
her a distinguished appearance on her
August vacation and not be at all out of
date when the warm -weather season rolls
around again.
Most surprising, among the July reduc
tions are the jaunty traveling and rain
coats, and if a woman taken the pains to
look carefully through the display she Is
jpZjfissi sure to find one garment with a
new and unusual cut. Word comes from
England, the home of rain coats, that old

for this convenient wrap, - which Is more
shapely than ever before, following the
lines pf the figure and held In-by a wcll

Ten Ways
JULY'S hot sun is rapidly turning the
more than plentiful green "love ap
ples" on the housewife's tomato plants
to a luscious crimson hue. In a few
weeks this popular vegetable will be a
drug on the market, and. the family will
begin to wonder why tomato plants were
ever invented, and to beg that the red
fruit be banished from the table. This
dislike for the most refreshing ot Sum
mer vegetables usually arises because
the homemaker persists in offering them
cold, peeled and sliced, or as a salad with
dressing on the Inevitable lettuce leaf.
Countless, however. ar tho possibilities
ofvfhe fresh tbmato. an'd with a -little
careful preparation. It may be served al
most dally In new and attractive guise.
When offered at breakfast, tomatoes
take the place of a meat course, and
toere is a most nppetlzlng recipe: Cut
large, ripe tomatoes Into thick slices and
sprinkle them lightly with salt and curry
powder. Make a batter by beating an
gg until light, adding halt a pint of milk,
a little salt, a pinch. of pepper and one
and one-half cupfuls of sifted flour. Beat
until smooth. Dip the tomato slices into
the batter, drain and arrange on a but
tered baking-dish. Cook 10 minutes in a
moderate oven. Cut as many rounds of
half an. inch thick as there are tomato
slices, and fry them In deep hot fat.
Drain on brown paper and keep hot.
Spread the toast with chopped chutney
and place a slice of tomato on each piece.
Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve
hot.
Grilled tomatoes may be substituted
lor potatoes as a breakfast dish. Select
large, firm fruit. Wipe the tomatoes and
eplit them through the center. Lay
them, skin down, on a broiler and cook
over a clear fire until tender. Turn on
the other side and brown lightly. Put
a generous lump of butter on each, sea
Bon with salt and pepper and set In an
oven a few minutes before serving.
Tomatoes Stuffed With Eggs (a dainty
and nourishing luncheon dish) Select
some firm, round tomatoes of equal size,
cut a slice from the top of each, and
remove the seeds carefully. Then place
the tomatoes on a .sieve to drain for an
hour. Coat the Inside with a layer ot
warm butter and scatter over It a small
quantity of chopped parsley. Break a
new-laid egg into a coffee cup and turn
It carefully into one of the tomatoes.
Fill them all In the same way. replace
the slice which was cut from the top
of each, put them on a buttered tin
and put them In a hot oven for about
ten .minute, or until the the tomatoes
are soft. They should be basted with
butter osce or twice during the time, and
Just before they are done, some browned
crumbs -should. be sprinkled over them.
Serve the tomatoes on round croutons of a
suitable stee and surround them with a
delicately flavored white sauce which has
been mixed with, sufficient cnoppea pars

choosing from the remnant of the ready
made suits, a woman cannot go amiss
In purchasing a bolero Jacket and a cir
cular skirt with a bias seam at back and
front to prevent the sagging at the sides
so common with the circular skirt of two
years back.
According to a very op-tCMlate society
journal, the most sought-after model this
season in tailored frocks Is a veritable
"double-decker," the deep upper flounce
being finished in long points and edged
with braid In contrasting color. The bol

layers until the tomatoes and bread
crumbs have been used up, having a layer
of bread crumbs on top. Dot with bits of
butter and bake In a quick oven for 30
minutes.
For Individual casseroles the tomatoes
should be picked when small and allowed
to redden in the sun. Before they be
come soft, drop them Into hot water a
moment and peel. A half dozen tomatoes
require half a pint of cream sauce and
from half to a pint of milk, a rounding
tablespoonful of flour and a tablespoon
ful of butter. Boll until creamy and add
half a teaspoontul of salt and a salt
spoonful of pepper. Put a tablespoonful
of sauce In the bottom of each individual
casserole. Lay a tomato In each dish and
cover with what remains of the 'cream
sauce. Bake In a moderate oven 30 min
utes. Tomatoes and Cheese To ten medium
sized tomatoes allow half a tablespoonful
of butter and a "quarter of a pound of
full cream cheese or Parmesan cheese.
Scald the tomatoes and remove the skins.
Then place them In a granite stewpan and
cook for two or three hours, or until the
water has evaporated. Season to taste
and remove from the fire. Stir In the
cheese and serve Immediately.
Wonderfully dainty for a separate
course at dinner are tomatoes served
with mushrooms. Select eight medium-
sized, smooth tomatoes. Cut a hole in
the stem and scoop out the insldes. Chop
one onion fine, add to it a tablespoonful
of butter and allow to simmer slowly In
saucepan. When colored a deep yel

have been prepared by first soaking In

add one dozen chopped mushrooms, one
tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a pinch
of salt, one peppercorn, a dash of cayenne
and four tablespoonfuls of tomato cat
sup. Mix all thoroughly. Then fill the
tomatoes and sprinkle with breadcrumbs
and melted butter. Bake In a moderate
oven until brown and serve with -sauce

one departed leisurely .across the lawn

dinner, while the neighbor of the calico

This is not the experience of one. but
of countless housewives on these beauti

many household duties enjoys the brief
neighborly call, but It Is the long-drawn
departure that absorbs her precious mo

machine-made embroider', can afford to
be without a fancy linen suit, and even
the hand-embroidered coats and skirts
can be purchased at this season tcx. an
amazingly low price. In buying hand
work It pays to go to the smartest linen
shops. Not only are, their goods of the
most dependable grade, but they are now
sacrificing 350 and 175 suits as low as Jli-

Pillow Tops
ASK the pretty girls and dignified
matrons embroidering on porches or
under shade trees what they are doing,
and SO per cent will answer promptly:
"A pillow top." Of the making of pillow f
and cushion tops there Is literally - no
end. Designers and manufacturers Ho
awake nights thinking up dainty contrap
tions for attracting the eye and the cash
of fair embroiderers.
For washable covers, linen, scrim and
heavy plain linen are the most popular
foundations. The scrim 'Is covered with
designs. In either .Russian cross-stitch or
the new darning effects which copy the
designs shown In filet lace. These are
convcntionallze'd flowers and leaves, built
on angular lines, wonderful dragons, im
possible human figures and even proverbs
and wise sayings done In stltr stltchery.
For finishing these pillows come strips
of plain or figured scrim 4 yards In
length, already hemmed and prepared for
a drawstring.
This scrim comes in both pure wnlte
and a yellowish natural linen color. For
me darning, opalescent or uia v oria col
orings are employed. The opalescent col
ors are the blues, pinks and greens seen
In opals or mother-of-pearl, and are even
more delicate than the pastel shades. The
Old World tints are the faded effects to
be seen only in old tapestries. .
The old-fashioned coronation braid, a
16th of an Inch in width, now reappears
in black and various colors for outlining
the opalescent or Old World stltchery.
and a revival In finishing trimmings is
the wide cotton or linen -gimp or bahl,
finished with short, stubby frinxe.
The new appliqued pillows are beautiful
studies of softly tinted linen and pastel
or opalescent shades. A stunning' exam
pie was a 'square cover of natural-toned
linen, appllqucd with four lotus blooms In
opalescent pink and blue, stitched down
with heavy hand embroidery in self-tone
floss. The stems are of green embroid
ery, and the blooms. Instead of standing
out stiffly In each corner, follow or chao
each other around the pillow, heading
gracefully to fit into each angle. Th
cord which finished this pillow showed
the natural linen tone as well as the col
ors employed In the flowers.
A stunning effect In white and yellow
showed pure white linen In arabesque
design, appllqtied with white mercerized
floss on a pale yellow grownd. White
cord and four huge tassels of the white
finished this .pillow top.

While the net afternoon frock, un
doubtedly the season's favorite, has had
a long- run. charmingly dainty little
gown.i are still j to be -found in this
snowfiake material. Its chief beauty is
the fullness with which it is made up.
One unusually attractive model has
the skirt drawn In very full shirrings
about the hips. The full baby waist
Is trimmed around the shoulders and In
a circle midway between -tyalstllne and
arm, with a double row of tightly
gathered liberty ribbon headed with a
double fold ruchlng of the net. This
trimming Is applied also at the middle
and elbow of - the half-lepgth puff
sleeves and around the 'foot of the
skirt. '
Another very handsome net frock Is
indescribably exquisite . with an ap
plique of Princess lace down the front
ot waist and skirt. An edging of the
same lace finishes the bell-shaped
sleeves, which- are slit up. the side ot
the arm to show afari-llke under
sleeve of rows and rows of Valen
ciennes lace. Princess lace, which Is
and How. to
each scallop. For the layette, tiny pillows
are"also supplied, in oblong, round or
heart shape, with Dresden patterns In all
white embroidery and the inevitable scal
loped ruffles or finishing; flounce of Valen
ciennes lace.
The extravagance of the moment In pil
low tops Is the satin foundation, covered
with Louis effects.' A notable example
shows a square of pajest pearl-white
satin of the richest quality, on which are
painted five miniatures, quaint 18th cen
tury heads.' each surrounded by a frame ot
tiny gold spangles. One miniature, a trifle
larger than the others, occupies the cen
ter, with the other four midway between
the center : and the corners. Between
these are festoons pf roses and wee blue
flowers, done. In tape ribbon embroidery.
The finish is a ruchlng of tea-green rib
bon so thick and soft and fluffy as to sug
gest moss. It Is studded with roses made
from pink satin ribbon.
Another sample of this work shows
cream-white satin embroidered with taps
ribbon and. fine stltchery. The center
piece Is a quaint basket with a squat
handle, overflowing with roses, all In the
ribbon work, surrounded by festoons of
flowers and finished with the ribbon
ruchlng described above.
Wonderful designs are shown in Japan

eye for color, combinations, the black,
