The Hand Embroidered Millinery Fad
OL'BLY BLESSED is the home-sewer
who has mastered the art of rapid,
showy embroidery, for her millinery
bill will be greatly reduced thereby. This
is a Summer of embroidered hats, em
broidered sun bonnets and embroidered
Charlotte Corday caps. Likewise it is a
Summer in which almost every costume
demands its matching hat, thanks to ec
centricities In coloring. The girl who can
embroider a hat or fetching cap to match
eacli of her Summer frocks of lawn or
linen will be strictly in the swim at small
expense.
For the past few years the lingerie
Jiat has been considered the privilege
of the rich only, because, unless made
by a master hand. It was apt to .look
dowdy. But the American woman Is
most resourceful and persevering, -so
she has attacked every lingerie bat dif
ficulty and emerged triumphant.
The most marked departure of this sea
Bon in lingerie hats Is the wide ranee of
colors and trimming. Formerly white
linen or pique only was used for the
foundation of the stiff embroidered hat,
with perhaps a bow of white or delicately
tinted ribbon, while for the more dressy
hat white lace plaited or fluted and en
twined with soft ribbon, was used.
This season the linen and lawn hats
come in all colors to match frocks, six
or seven, shades of blue, and as many
of pink, shading from the heart of a
blush rose to the rich American beauty
hue. Of yellows I have seen at least
lour shades in both, linen and lawn. In
addition to browns and the natural pongee
hade. Many of the white liats are em
broidered In colors, and. vice versa, you
will find colored linens embroidered in
(White.
Trimmings are equally catholic and
varied. On the stiff linen sailor you will
find the inevitable "Merry Widow" or
Alsatian bow, but generally there will be
at least one huge, placid-looking rose
tucked on the left side or in the very
center of the how. Or there may be a
stiff, almost tailored wreath of small
flowers around the crown and a huge bow
in the front.
The lingerie hat In finely shirred or
pleated lawn, with lace and embroidery
of the very finest sort Inset or edging
mo onm, may be trimmed with Quanti
ties of flowers and choux of lace. Huge
choux of mirror velvet, looking for all
the world like heads of lettuce with
flowers for their hearts, are used for
trimming the lace hats.
Kor wear with a rather heavy linen,
pique, madras or percale costume, there is
nothing better than the hand-embroidered
sailor to match, and for that use we
are showing a very good model, with a
detached crown which buttons to the brim
by means of shaped tabs. These are un
buttoned when the hat is to be laundered,
and the ribbon is run under the tabs when
the hat is made up. The pattern con
sists ot a foundation brim and band, an
embroidered brim and the crown. The
girl who Is quick with her embroidery
needle can ornament this shape with
Wallachlan or English eyelet stitchery,
but the girl who Is inexperienced had best
buy heavy all-over embroidery, of which
she will require seven-eighths of a yard.
She can then finish the edge of the brim
with scallops, heavily buttonhole stitched
with mercerized floss, or she can use a
narrow,, finely plaited Val. edge.
This pattern will look well in any of the
colored linens, embroidered with self
tone or white, and trimmed with match
ing or shaded ribbons. I saw the other
day in a smart shop a sailor built on
Jiyt these lines In natural colored linen.

simply scalloped around the edge with
natural toned floss. The ribbon running
round the crown was rose-colored, and
for trimming there were three enormous
silk pompons, in as many shades of rose
color, from pale to almost a cerise tint.
Another stunning combination showed
a linen suit in natural pongee color, with
a hat to match, embroidered In a perfect
shade of cardinal red floss and trimmed
with an Alsatian bow of cardinal red
taffeta ribbon. A cardinal vestee was
worn with the suit.
A lovely lingerie hat shown with a gown
of cream-colored batiste was of cream-
colored linen embroidered with Wallachian
stitches in two exquisite shades of pink.
The flowers in the pattern were dona In
the lighter shade of pink, the eyelets In
the darker shade, and the only trimming
on ine nai was a Dow made almost entire
ly of loops in two shades of pink velvet
ribbon matching the tones used in the em
broidery. The chemisette and cuffs of the
batiste dress were embroidered in pink
to match the hat.
The Charlotte Corday caD. which is en-
Joying a tremendous vogue, Is shaped not
uniiKe a nign dusting cap. with a soft
rather narrow brim made of one deep or
a number of narrow flounces, either lace
or emDroidery. it Is generally trimmed
quite elaborately with twisted coils of
ribbon, in colors, or In black velvet, or
in the new gilt and silver ribbons. A
ravonte combination on the Charlotte
Corday hat of fine lace or embroidery is
delicate blue ribbon with pink roses or
delicate pink ribbon with blue foriret
menots. Exquisite little yellow flowers
such as never grew in any garden or
neia, are comDined with black velvet rib
bons.
When the frock Is of lawn with a com
bination trimming of lace and embroiderv.
both lace and embroidery appear In the
hat, and generally speaking, the hat is
more becoming . if innumerable little
piaited mils of lace face the brim.
For the outdoor girl, there is the usual
array of fetching sun bonnets and the
very newest fancy is to have the strings
come out from the center of the back of
the brim, instead of either side.
Pique hats and sun bonnets are in vogue
for girlies as well as their eider sisters,
and no little maiden's Summer wardrobe
is complete without a stiff hand-embroidered
hat and a fussy sunhnnnet
which is generally a mass of embroiderv
and lace. When a little girl has a bes't
frock of delicately tinted batiste or lawn
either pink, blue or yellow, most effective
is a matching hat or bonnet, made from
the same material, especially if the fabric
be embroidered. .Children also -have hats
ana mtie coats embroidered alike.

Some Tasty Desserts With the Early Fruits
AFTER a Winter of plum puddings,
rich custards andl heavy mince
pies, all the members of the house
hold will welcome the sight and taste of
early fruits. In large cities, strawberries
liave been In market for some time, pine
apples are plentiful and cheap, and pie
plant always makes a tasty dessert after
a. sweet salad. Here are a few recipes
which the housewife will welcome:
Pieplant pie This pie should have only
the lower crust of fairly rich pastry.
Cover a deep pie dish with a crust and
fill with the following: Stew the pieplant
In as little water as possible until very
tender. Beat the yolks of two eggs, two
tablespoons of cornstarch, and half a
cup of sugar all together. Put this In the
pieplant and let It boll until thick, then
add the Juice of one small lemon. Fill
the crust with this. Make a meringue of
the whites of the eggs and two table
rpoons of sugar, and brown in medium
oven.
Pineapple Tipsy Cut the top from a
large, very ripe pineapple. Also cut suf
ficient from the stalk end to make it
stand firmly on a platter. Now remove
all the inside portion of the pineapple,
tearing It away with a fork, and leaving
nothing but the hollow case. Remove
the hard pieces of the fruit and cut into
small dice. Put these into a deep dish
with an equal amount of fresh straw
berries, cut In halves. Sprinkle liberally
with granulated sugar and cover with a
wineglass of sherry, place on the Ice for
an hour, occasionally basting the fruit
with the syrup which forms. Put the
pineapple case in the Ice box. When
ready to serve, add half a cupful of nut
meats to the fruit mixture, fill tho pine
apple case, and serve on a platter gar
nished with geranium leaves.
Rhubarb Tartlets Make a puff paste
as follows and fill tart shells with it:
One pound of butter, one of flour and
the white of one egg. "Wash the salt
out of the butter, or use fresh butter,
if you have it. It Is likewise better to
use what is known as pastry flour, not
patent. Take a little of the butter with
iS-'-.-Vt

EMBROIDERY.
the flour and white of an egg and mix
Into dough with a small quantity of
Ice water. Roll out rather thin, spread
on a layer of butter, fold over and roll
again. Repeat this process until the
butter is all used. Now put this away
on the Ice until the next day, when it
will be ready for use. Fill the tart
shells with rather a thick layer of this,
brown In quick oven and fill with rhu
barb prepared as follows: Neatly trim
one pound of fresh rhubarb, remove all
the fibers, wash in cold water, drain
and cut into pieces not over an inch
long. Place in a saucepan with four
ounces of sugar (preferably brown) and
half a tea-spoonful of vanilla extract.
Mix well with a wooden spoon, cover the
pan and let it cook slowly for about 20
minutes, stirring frequently. Fill shells
with this, edge with powdered sugar and
serve.
Strawberry Charlotte Russe Line the
bottom of a tin or china mold with white
paper, and the sides with split lady fin
gers or thin slices of sponge cake. Soak
one ounce of gelatine in half a pint of
cold water. When soft, place on the
fire and let it remain until dissolved.
Press one quart of fresh strawberries
through a sieve and add to them one cup
of powdered sugar. When the gelatine
is cold, mix with the- berries and sugar,
add one pint of cream whipped still and
sweetened to taste. Pour this mixture
into the middle of the lined moid and
place on ice. This is to be eaten ice cold.
Bean Sandwiches These are excellent
if men are counted among the list of
guests. Press cold baked beans through
a vegetable press or fine colander; allow
two tablespoons of finely minced celery,
two tablespoons of horseradish, a dash
of catsup, lemon Juice and made mus
tard. Cut Boston brown bread Into thin
slices, spread with the, above mixture
and serve with midget pickles.
Etiquette for the May
Moovers
JUST now the exodus for the suburb
or country colony is at its height, and
many new arrivals are wondering
Just what will be expected of them by
old-timers.
"We have Just taken a house for the
season at ; a very pretty suburb, and
if the weather permits, we will remain
until November. Of course I want to
have some social pleasures. How do we
get acquainted? We have a beautiful new
home, but friends tell us that is very
exclusive." - ,
According to good form in the suburbs,
there is nothing more deplorable than
open attempts to force the social situa
tion. The experienced suburbanite al
ways learns about newcomers and de
cides whether to call upon them. The
writer of the above letter need have no
anxiety. If she Is a desirable acquaint
ance she will be welcomed in the sub
urban circle.
Allowing her a reasonable time to get
settled, probably about a fortnight, old
residents will begin to call upon her. If
she has come to the suburb from a very
(Treat distance and is absolutely unknown,
the best thing for her to do is to rent a
pew in the church with whose denomina
tion she has identified herself elsewhere.
The pastor and his wife will call upon
her. and their report of the meeting will
go far to influence others to call.
Sometimes a number of families settle
in a suburb at practically the same time,
and may desire to exchange calls among
themselves. In this case the younger
woman invariably calls upon the elder,
who must return the call within a fort
night. When the new family contains a mother
and daughter, the latter old enough to be
out socially, the caller leaves two cards.
In returning calls the newcomer makes
i sure of the number of ladies in the fam
ily on which she Is calling, and leaves the
requisite number of cards.
When returning the call of the local
clergyman and his wife, the newcomer
leaves her own cards and two of her hus
band's. If the latter Is not able to call
with her. -
If the newcomer is not acquainted per
sonally with any of her newly acquired
neighbors, but learns that one or more of
them do know a few of her city acquaint
ances, she can use tact to secure the en
tering social wedge. When she is calling
on her city friends, she can mention the
fact of her removal to the suburb, and
delicately lead the topio to mutual ac
quaintances. Then her city friends will
probably volunteer to drop a line to the
suburban acquaintance, stating that "My
friend, Mrs. Blank, has moved to Happy
Hollow. I do hope you wll have the
pleasure of meeting her.'
The averatre suburbanite would take
this hint and call at once.
In the suburbs, calling is a trifle less
formal than in town, but every woman
has her day at home. Hours are often
earlier, and the hostess is generally ready
to receive any time after the luncheon
hour. Later in the season morning calls
of great informality are paid, hostess and
guests remaining on the porch.
The week-end habit of entertaining In
the suburbs is quite general, .and the
newcomer who has the faculty of gather
ing under her roof charming parties of
city friends from Friday till Monday is
sure to prove popular with her new neigh
bors, who like to be Invited to meet in
formally these week-end guests.
The old resident who proposes to act as
social sponsor for a newcomer generally
frtves a tea In honor of the latter. All
her guests must then call upon the guest
of honor within a fortnight after the tea

Various Creams for Various Skins

Chilocco Indian School Journal..
THE reservation Indians in the
Southwest have many quaint Ideas
of trade, w hich often are amusing,
though childish, A contributor was
lately among the Navajo and Moqul
Indians In' Arizona.
At Armijo's trading post at Oriabi,
Ariz., he writes, the customers are
both Navajos and HopL A Hopl came
in one day and, after pricing an" ax,
bought it for $1.25, giving Armijo
$1.50. He received 25 cents In change.
After a while he came back and, look
ing wise, asked Armijo what he had
taken out of his 51.50 for the ax. On

LINGERIE HATS OF PALE PINK LAWN, EMBROIDERED IN WHITE,
WITH PINK RIBBONS.
IN no .respect Is the average woman
so thoughtless as In the selection
of creams and lotions for her toilet
table. I have actually met womenwho
bought a complexion remedy because
they liked the shape of the Jar In which
it was sold, or the perfume used to
disguise the emollient properties.
Again, I have heard women say "Oh,
I must get some of that cream
Mrs. Blank uses. She has a perfectly
lovely skin, and she says she owes it
to cream."
Now, if the speaker's skin and Mrs.
Blank's happen to be alike, the cream
may suit both, but if one has an oily
skin and the other a dry one, the
same cream or lotion should not be
used by both women.
Every skin demands Its own lotion.
What will feed the skin of many wrin
kles or a flaccid look Is not needed for
the plump, well colored, norm jl skin
which needs not feeding, but merely
cleansing. The girl with the oily skin
must avoid the waxes which the girl
with the harsh, scaly skin must use
to acquire smoothness of texture In her
complexion.
And above all things, the woman
with a tendency to hair on the face
must know what any cream or lotion
she uses contains. Otherwise she may
be using lanoline, which is guaranteed
to encourage the growth of superfluous
hairs.
Every woman of dainty habits and
ordinary intelligence can compound her
own toilet preparations. She will need
a double boiler, pure ingredients ac
curately measured, some little Jars
with tight, screw-tops, a fine hair
sieve or cheese cloth for straining
mixtures and patience.
Every woman, no matter what the
texture of her skin, should use some
sort of cold cream to remove dirt and
grime from clogged pores. A dry skin
demands liberal use of cold cream,
and certain flabby, deeply wrinkled
complexions should be fed over night
on flesh-makers thoroughly rubbed in,
but the oily skin should be rapidly
cleansed with the cream, then bathed
with hot water containing a little ben
zoin, and not a trace of the cream be
left In the pores.
A dependable formula for cold cream
without lanoline is this: Melt in your
double boiler one ounce of spermaceti
and one of best white wax, which you
can buy of any druggist. Add four
ounces of pure almond oil. Mix and
remove from the fire, pour the mix
ture into a porcelain bowl and beat
steadily until smooth, creamy and cool.
Then add, particularly at this season
of the year, one drachm tincture of
benzoin to prevent the cream's becom
ing rancid, and scent with four ounces
of rosewater, lilac or violet toilet
water. Pack into small, wldemouthed
jars, cover these tightly to exclude all
air and keep in a cool, dark place until
ready to use. This Is the very best
cleansing cream.
When the skin Is very harsh and dry,
or when it burns easily in Summer sun
and wind, use this cream: Almond oil,
four ounces; spermaceti, one ounce;
white wax, one ounce; cucumber juice,
two ounces.
This Is just the season for making
any cucumber cream, as the vegetable
is cheaper than during the .Winter. Se
lect large cucumbers ready for table
use, say half a dozen. Cut them up
fine without paring, and pound them
into a paste with a small potato mash
er in a heavy china bowl, or with a,
mortar and pestle. Strain through a
jelly bap and perfume the juice with
half a drachm of violet extract.
Melt your spermaceti and white wax
as described above. Beat In the almond
oil and two unces of cucumber Juice,
and continue to beat until smooth.
The oily skin demands an astringent
lotion to be used after the pores have
been cleansed with cold cream. Hera
is one that is not only simple, hut de
lightfully cooling and whitening. Mix
one-half ounce of tincture of bezoin with
two darchms tincture of vanilla (bought
from a reliable druggist). Then add verj
slowly to prevent curdling, one and one
half, pinrts of triple rosewater. The resull
should be a perfectly milky-white emul
sion, which is applied with antiseptic
gauze.
When there are pimples, use tills cream:
Lanoline, 2 ounces; almond oil, 2H
ounces; sulphur precipitate, 2l-2 onuces;
oxide of zinc, Hi ounces; violet extract,
2 drachms.
Rub the oil very slowly and carefully
into the sulphur and zinc until you se
cure a smooth paste, then add the lano
line and the extract. Pack into a porce
lain jar with a tight cover. At night,
touch each pimple with a camel's liait
brush which has been dipped in this
cream. Allow it to remain on over night
and in the morning remove with a bit
of old soft linen.
The woman troubled with freckles needs
a lotion quite different from any of these.
This affliction will be the topic of next
week's article.
KATHERINE MORTON.
The Art of Daintiness in Little Things
being told $1.23 he shoved the 25 cents
toward Armijo and said: "Now give me
the 50 cents."
An Indian bought a piece of mutton
from this same trader for $2.25, for
which the trader had asked him $2.50.
After thinking a while the Indian
asked for his money, saying he did not
wish the meat. When given $2.25 he
protested, and asked for $2.50, telling
Armijo In no unmistaken language
that If it was worth that much to the
trader it certainly was to him. When
refused the extra 25 cents he took the
matter up with the missionary, a per
son often appealed to In matters of
this kind, and who, as a general thing,
settles them so that the Indian and
the trader are both satisfied.
Buckskins were very scare at one
trading post and the trader was offer
ing extra inducements to get Indians
to bring some, in, having heard of sev
eral recently tanned In a certain neigh
borhood on the reservation. One
Navajo had told this trader where the
skins were. The Navajo was told that
lie would be given two Navajo blankets
worth as much as the skins would sell
for and he could trade them for the
skius.
Upon their receipt by the trader the
Indian was promised a nice saddle
blanket for his part In the deal. He
acquiesced, but insisted upon having
the three blankets then, and they were
given to him. Next morning when the
trader went to open his store there
sat the Navajo on the step. "Oh,"
thought Mr. Trader, "here is where I
get my skins." The Indian unrolled his
bundle and produced the two blankets
the post trader had given him in ex
change for the buckskin. "Me no
trade, said the Indian, having changed
his mind. On being asked where the
saddle blanket was he tried to make
the trader understand that the blan
ket had been given to him and that
he was going to keep it. A prolonged
discussion was necessary to convince
the Indian that he had no right to the
blanket.
A Navajo rode into a trading post at
supper time, just as the eggs and bacon
were frying. His saddle was trimmed
with Navajo hand-hammered silver or
naments and his bridle was almost cov
ered with silver. The Navajo sat down
and remained dumb as an oyster. The
trader offered to buy the bridle, and the
Navajo finally consented to take $23 for
it. The trader counted out 23 silver dol
lars to the Indian, expecting that he
would spend most of it at the store be
fore he rode away. The trader was dis
appointed. After eating a hearty supper
the Navajo departed, saying he would
return next morning to trade. "That
Navajo's mind is working; he Is up to
something. I'll bet you a new hat he'll
be back before long," said the trader.
Sure enough, he appeared in the door
way even before supper was over and
said he had changed his mind about
selling the bridle, and offered the $23 to
the trader. The trader laughed, accepted
the mone and returned the bridle to
the Indian, who quietly replaced it on
his horse and rode away his appetite
for supper appeased.
WHITE gloves can be successfully
cleaned or "washed" at home by
a very simple process. Try the
experiment on an old pair first. Shave
pure white soap into a little water and
let It boil until all the soap Is dissolved,
then pour out into a cup or jar. When
cold and quite thick it is ready for use.
Put the gloves on your hand and with a
soft flannel cloth dipped lh the paste,
rub the soiled parts, then wipe off with
another clean rag.
Lace and chiffon veils can be washed
very successfully. If the veil is white
It can be left in the suds to soak, but
if it Is colored.it should not be allowed
to remain long in the water. Use warm,
not hot water, and make a suds of a
pure white soap. Laundry soap will not
do for this purpose. Squeeze the veil
in the hands, and rinse it up and down
in the water. In washing white' veils a
small quantity of borax can be added to
the water: not In cleaning colored ones,
however. Rinse in clear cold water and
allow to dry. then iron on the wrong
side. Even dark brown chiffon and lace
will wash nicely in this manner.
To clean black silk from mud stains
the following process, is often very suc
cessful: Peel and cut into very small
pieces one potato and pour over it a
pint of boiling water, cover and let it
stand over night. Then add enough spirits
of wine to give it the consistency of very
thin starch. Sponge the silk rapidly with
this liquid and rub each spot carefully,
letting the liquid wet the material
Red and White Meat
13 THERE any difference between the
food values of red and white meats?
It used to be supposed that white meat
was harmless In cases where red meat
might be Injurious, and that in general
the red Is much heartier food than the
white. Largely as a result of the work
of Offer and Rosenquist, published in
1899, this current view was modified, and
it came to be generally accepted that
from the analytical standpoint at least
there was but little distinction. This be
lief, we are told by a writer in the Med
ical Record (New York, March 21), has
not been entirely in accord with the ex
perience of those accustomed to treat
such diseases as gout and nephritis. Says
this paper:
- "It has been pointed out that while
Offer and Rosenquist's observations
showed that as far as raw meat was
concerned, the difference between the
amounts of nitrogenous extractives and
bases In the red and white varieties were
so slight as to be practically negligible.
It remained to be demonstrated that the
process of cooking and the manner in
which this was done did not alter the
conditions. This question has been taken
up by Adler, who presents the records of
analyses of numerous meats both In the
raw and cooked condition. While his
results on raw meats correspond closely
with those of -the previous investigators,
he found on comparing veal and beef
that both frying and boiling caused the
extractives of the former to be reduced
to about one-fifth of their raw amounts,
while with the beef the difference was
unimportant. Analyses of other meats
gave similar results, and he concludes
that in the cooked condition there Is a
sufficient difference between extractive
content of red and white meats, particu
larly beef and veal, to Justify a distinc
tion between the two. Cooking there
fore seems to cause white meats to lose
more of their extractives than is the
case with red, and taking for granted a
deleterious property on the part ot the
nitrogenous extractives, the clinical ob
servation that in certain maladies red
meats are Injurious finds analytical con
firmation." Literary Digest. I
thoroughly. Press the silk dry on the
wrong side, running the iron up and down
Ihe silk, not across it.
' To wash ribbons used in underwear,
you should begin by buying a good
quality of ribbon, for in the long run it
will pay you. If the ribbons are stained
from perspiration, any naphtha soap Is
a good cleanser. Wet the ribbons with
tepid, not hot, water, and rub the soap
directly on the ribbon. Fold the rib
bons up in an old towel and let them stay
for half an hour or so, then rinse out in
warm water and all the soil will come
away. Iron dry. If the ribbons are not
stained from perspiration and only
mussed, wash with a suds of pure white
soap and warm water. Iron between old
linen cloths. In ironing all ribbons you
should have a thick pad under them. A
Turkish towel makes a good pad, or
an old blanket doubled two or three
times.
Embroidered linens should never.be put
in with the regular wash, and should
never be entrusted to a servant. They
should be washed in a china or earthen
bowl to avoid the possibility of any rust.
They should be washed in warm water
and the soiled portions rubbed with pure
white soap, then rubbed between the
hands a very little, as heavy rubbing ruffs
up the silk. Rinse in clean water and
dry by putting in a Turkish towel and
wringing and twisting until the moisture
is almost all absorbed. Now lay the piece
face down on a clean linen cloth over a
thick pad. spread a thin white cloth over
the embroidered article and Iron quickly
and lightly with a fairly-hot iron. Be
careful not to press too heavily on the
embroidered portion, as this Is apt to
make steam form and will take the Uf
and lustre from the silk.
Unless you are a typical outdoor girl
with a large Income,' do not Invest in
chamois skin gloves for Summer. The
athletic girl who drives a great deal
likes this large loose glove for rough
wear, but they are not a good Invest
ment for the typical Summer girl. They
make the hand look large, and while
they wash as clerks guarantee they will,
like the chamois skin you use for clean
ing windows, they have weak spots and
wash through on the latter. A good
silk glove is a far better Investment, but
do not be Inveigled into buying brilliant
blues, greens, purples and rose colors to
match your silk or linen frock. White,
or soft shade of tan, are In better taste;
black gloves are hot In Summer and
should be worn by those In mourning
only.
Beware button trimming on your Sum
mer gown unless you have quantities of
pretty buttons to use. Half a dozen but
tons or ordinary size scattered on a
blouse, and a dozen more on a skirt make
no showing whatever. On the Summer
coat you may use two or three very large,
showy buttons on the front, but If you
are trimming a gown with them you must
have .dozens of small buttons arranged
in groups or designs. Neither are plain
buttons used except on severely tailored
suits. The crocheted button Is most popular.
