NEGLIGEE IN EMBROIDERED FLOUN CINGt
Good Form on
TO the conservative grandmother of
today, whose girlhood was carefully
guarded, the laxity displayed by
young people during vacation days is
nothing short of appalling. Her up-to-date
granddaughter who has earned her
right to carry a latch key along with her
salary as teacher, stenographer, confiden
tial clerk or salesgirl, tells grandma that
this Is a progressive age and. grandma is
very apt to reply with some warmth that
It is a scandalous age.
"Grandma's' forebodings are not with
out some reason. Of late years, the Sum
mer girl has rather stretched the ropes
of conventionality. She makes vacation,
or even Summer days In town the ex
ruse for doing those- things which in
the Winter time she leaves undone, for
accepting attentions from men. of a na
ture which she would refuse to accept in
midwinter. She is very apt to adopt a 1
few open-work manners along with her
peek-a-boo waist, and so today I want
to talk frankly with young girls, espec
ially independent, self-supporting girls,
about the favors, hospitalities and cour
tesies which they may feel free to accept
trnra that interesting personage, the Sum
mer man.
In the Winter, when a young man takes
rnu to the theater, and suggests supper
after the play, you are most particular as
to the restaurant named and equally par
ticular about reaching home before mid
night. But in the Summer, when the
same man suggests an automobile trip,
you stop unquestioningly at any road
house suggested and the hour of your
arrival at your own door seems to be a
matter of supreme Indifference. - The
glamor of the automobile seems to dazzle
yon to the demands of Madam Grundy.
If a man asks you to go automoblling.
you have a perfect right to ask the des
tination selected, and if the trip is to be
a long one, to make inquiries as to your
chaperon. The chauffeur usurps the post
of chaperon only on a day trip. If a
party of young people, say four or six,
plan an automobile trip of several days,
a married woman must be included in the
parly. If one man acts as host to the
party, he foots all bills. If the men club
together for the Jaunt, then expenses. In
cluding those of the chaperon, are divided
among them.
In case of a breakdown which threat
ens to be serious, the girl who has gone
alone with a man nd his chauffeur, ex
pecting only a short spin, will allow no
stone to be left unturned to insure her
return to the parental roof by night. If
the man cannot repair his car, then he
must care for the girl, sending to the
nearest town for a livery rig and seeing
her orr board a train for town. He is
then free to return and look-after his
car. No carelessness in this case is ex
cusable. It is a progressive aire, indeed,
and oven farm houses have telephones to.
day.
If the breakdown occurs at a point
where it is practically impossible to re
turn to town, that is at a resort reached
only by motor or boat and the last boat
mis cone, then, if possible, recall some
friend of the family who may reside at
the resort and place yourself under her
protection over night. If all else falls
ind this emergency Is -rare), you must
Aire to your family of your whereabouts,
go to one hotel while your host goes to
another and register a vow never again
to motor without a chaperon.
Many an unhappy marriage has resulted
rrom Just such an Indiscretion as this.
The girl who goes unchaperoned to
spend Saturday afternoon or Sunday at
a nearby resort, must be equally careful
about train or boat service. It Is much
safer to spend a few hot moments in the
crowded depot or pier than to try to ex
plain later on how you happened to miss
the last tram or boat.
You may accept from a man an invita
tion to attend a big ball game or sailing
rai-e. or sporting event of any sort in
anoiher town, provided it is possible for
you to make the round trip In one day.
If it Is necessary to remain over night
in order to witness the race or gam
then you must either have a chaperon in
yoi'r party or remain with family friends
while in the other city. It is absolutely
ir ossible for a man to send you to a
hotel and foot your bills, even though he
remains at arother hostelry. It seexna as
if such a word of caution were unneces
sary, yet the news columns of the daily
papers tell how girls make such grave
errors and end In the divorce court.
If a man you know well is stopping In
a distant city through which you are to
pass on your vacation trip and suggeats
that he will be glad to do the honors of
the town, this does not mean that you
will be his guest. If you stop off rpecial
ly to give him the chance to entertain
you, then you must have a, chaperon. If
ynu are obliged to remain for 12 or 24
bours, you so direct to Ujc. hoisi you haye

own bill and accept, from the man only
incidental courtesies, such as visits to the
local parks, amusement centers, museums.
etc, never falling to return to your hotel
at a reasonable hour. In any hotel of
good repute a girl of quiet manners may
remain indefinitely, but one who returns
at all hours of the night is not considered
a desirable guest and more than likely
she is asked to leave.
A man who owns a yacht or sailing
boat, however small, will never ask
tirl whom he respects to make a trip
'ith him unless a. chaperon is provided.
This applies to the small motor boats
as well as big yachts. Sometimes if the
party is quite large and going out Just
for Saturday afternoon or Sunday, the
girls feel that they can chaperon each
other, but if the sail is to cover even
one night a married woman must be
Invited to accompany them.
PRUDENCE STANDISH,
Lingerie Pillows.
The dainty lady just now. is turning
her thoughts toward the pretty lingerie
pillows which do so much to make her
bedroom and boudoir just what they
should be.
They are quite small, soft down pll
lows covered with a white material
nainsook, cambric or handkerchief
linen. Sometimes they are embroidered
with white mercerized cotton in
graceful design of small flowers and
sometimes they are quite plain, with
only a two-inch hemstitched ruffle all
round the edge. Others are Inset with
fino Valenciennes lace insertion, while
the rutfles are finished with a lace
edging.
Quite the easiest way to make these
dainty novelties is to buy an embroid
ered handkerchief, which may be made
larger, if necessary, by sewing inser
tion round the edge. This is backed by
plain handkerchief linen, and the whole
is finished with a hemstitched ruffle of
the same material.
The pillows themselves may first be
covered with a slip of Bateen to match
the color adopted by milady, usually
either blue or pink, which shows
through the sheer linen cover and ac
centuates the trimming or embroidery.
Women who do not like ruffles fin
ish the pillows around the edge with a
single band of valenciennes insertion.
New Collar.
A tailor-made collar, which threat
ens to become immensely modish as an
accessory of tailored suits, is com
posed of two kinds of linen. The high
stock, curved beneath the chin, pointed
under the ears -and dipping slightly
at the back is of heavy white linen.
Fastened to its ends, after the manner
of the well-known crush combination
tie and collar, are colored striped
linen scarfs. which are brought
forward and loop-knotted in the front.
The same idea may be followed in all
white, using the heavy linen for the
stock and handkerchief material for
the scarfs. For warm weather the
thinner fabric will prove far more com
fortable. New Girdles.
There are many different arrange
ments of girdles on the new gowns of
the season. We often see a girdle of
an entirely different color from the
gown, such as old gold, satin or blue,
pink or ecru. A soft dove gray la
much liked because it gives the girdle
a distinction all its own. A charming
effect is found in using wide pompa
dour ribbon of pink roses on a black
ground. A shaped piece cut from the
black can be fitted on thefront of the
side seams and from here can be
gathered the full width of the ribbon
with the ends drawn upward to the
back, where they may be knotted and
let fall In -sash ends.
Mourning Wrap.
A useful mourning wrap for Summer
may be developed of dull - finished
crepe de chine bordered with ribbon or
of filet net, with bands of conventional
crepe. It is cape shaped, reaching to
the wearer's waist line at -the back, to
her elbows at the sides and tapers into
points below the hips in front. The
band trimmings are quite broad and
applied flatly at the neck and around
the edges of the garment. They also
provide the weight necessary to keep
the cape in its original shape. This is
a good model for an elderly woman's
porch wrap and may quite easily .be
home made of lightweight cashmere,
voile or silk, finished with bordering
material ..or jrlt triune. -
THE girl who loves dainty things,
who considers personal dainti
ness of primary importance, finds
the question of up-to-date lingerie a
serious problem. The lavish use of
mercerized fabrics for underwear and
the unscrupulous use of strong soaps
and powerful washing powders by laun
dresses combine to play havoc with
even a liberal dress allowance. The
day of light-weight muslins, cambric
and long cloth for lingerie is about
spent, and yet in the face of Fashion's
sternest decree, I earnestly advise the
girl of limited means to employ a fine
grade of long cloth for the bulk of her
home-made underwear, combining with
it a good grade of Hamburg embroid
ery or torchon lace.
Nothing can compare with this com
bination for hard wear and regular
laundering, and a high-priced piece of
long cloth will launder as softly and
wear much better than some of the
sheer, mercerized fabrics. Cheap lacea
are the worst possible investment,
especially point de Paris. Stick to
German val, torchon and Just now If
you are so fortunate as to know the
Irish stitch, an edging and insertion of
hand-made Irish crochet.
Generally speaking, the tendency of
up-to-date lingerie is toward extreme
Bheerness of material, simplicity in de
sign and exquisite care in fitting. The
princess and 'draped skirts both re
quire perfectly fitted underwear, and
the woman of well-developed figure as
well as her heavy-weight sister, is go
ing in for tights, and carefully avoid
ing frills of any sort. The woman who
wears old-style lingerie selects well
cut designs, such as combination suits,
which Include drawers and corset cov
ers, or corset covers and short, skirta,
princess slips, etc
One of the distinct fads with women
of well-lined purses is the soft satin
skirt, which has completely supplanted
the taffeta skirts. And really this is
not so expensive as it sounds. A good
grade of messallne can be bought, at
sales for 49 cents a yard. For evening
wear a princess slip of white messaline
will do duty for several frocks, white
batiste, or one of delicate tint, a black
and white or even a black voile, mar
quisette or similar weave. The woman
of middle age who wears much black,
grey, lavender, etc., will take great
comfort and find good use for a drop
skirt of silvery-grey messallne.
These satin skirts are fitted perfectly
over the hips and finished with a set
on flounce of the same material. This
can be ornamented with hand-run
tucks and embroidered In self tone or
harmonious tints with dots or rings.
Lace is combined with the white and
delicately tinted skirts, but the black
and Bubdued colorings show embroid
ery or feather stitching rather than
lace.
China silk is also in great demand
for drop skirts or petticoats and in the
36-inch width cuts to excellent advan
tage. For a dressy skirt, net, lace and
ribbon are combined for trimming.
Another remarkable feature of the
season in lingerie is .the quantity of
colored materials used. Prominent
among these are what is known as the

THE ONE '
Dolly Varden sets, made from daintily
figured lawns and batistes, trimmed
with Val lace and set off by matching
ribbons. They are the privilege of the
girl who is brave enough to do her
own laundry or who at least will watch
the family laundress, and prevent the
fading of her dainty lingerie through
the use of strong soaps or drying in
the sun.
A lovely set of this sort was recently
completed for a Fall bride. The pat
tern chosen was a quaint moss-rose
of diminutive size on a cross-bar lawn.
The material was very soft and there
fore admitted of much tucking and
flouncing. The corset cover was semi
fitting, with a shawl bertha of lace
Insertion edged with lace of a match
ing pattern. The ruffles of the draw
ers were made from alternate strips
of the tucked lawn and insertion, split
up on the side and edged all the way
round with lace. Bows of pale pink
wash ribbon fastened the bertha to the
corset cover and finished the flouncing
on the drawers. The nightgown waa
what is known as the chemise pat
tern, slipping over the head and fin
ished with a bertha to match that on
the corset cover.
Another color fancy Is that of the
new fine hamburg or nainsook em
broidery done partly In white and
partly In a delicate blue, pink or lav
ender. Sometimes the scallop and
flower within are of the color on a
white ground. Sometimes the ground
Is delicately tinted with white em
broidery. Cross-bar dimity is much used for
underwear, and combined with this you
will find embroidered medallions and
German Val lace. Of course when
linen, embroidered by hand, is within
the reach of one's purse, the altogether
desirable Is in sight, but very few girls
have time to embroider their under
wear, and in this case lovely machine
embroidered medallions can be found
and set off by lace. One thing every
girl should learn to do and that Is
work the eyelet holes through which
wash ribbon Is run. This Is a much
less bulky mode of finishing under
wear than to Insert It with machine
made beading.
In choosing machine-made embroid
eries for underwear, stick to simple
patterns. A busy girl showed me a
set of underwear which almost de
celvad the casual observer into the be
lief that it was hand-embroidered. She
chose plain batiste for the fabric ran
all her tucks by hand and used as
trimming a fine batiste banding done
simply in polka dots, and set off by
narrow German Val edging. Night
gown, chemise, drawers and skirt were
all cut on what might be called square
lines. The necks were square, the
flounces all were split and finished
with square ends. Straps of the em
broidered banding ran up the outside
seams of the sleeves and above the
ruffles on the drawers, which, by the
way. were finished with the banding.
not with a frill of the lace. The effect
was simple and elegant.
Kimonos are rightly Included In the
art of making hand-wrought lingerie.
and one of the prettiest designs shown
this season has body and sleeves cut
in one piece with hand-run tucks on the
shoulder and banding for a finish all
way round kimono and sleeves.

ligee developed from a handy remnant
of 'embroidered flouncing, delicate lav
ender on white. The neck is cut square

and finished with galloon to maten the

Fig. B shows what Is known as the
one-piece nightgown, the sleeves and
body being cut in one. Here is a pat
tern which would develop admirably if
the dotted banding described above
were employed as trimming, outlining
the kimono sleeves, and run in strips
between the tucking.
In Fig. 6 is shown the semi-fitted
corset cover with a bertha which can
be hand-embroidered or made from
strips of tucking and insertion alter
nately. The one-piece circular drawers shown
In Fig. D are notable principally he
cause they serve the purpose also of
a short petticoat.

July Preserves
THE practical house mother who
has been preserving fruit for
her mother did when she was a child
will perhaps welcome some up-to-date
methods of preparing goodies for the
Winter months.
Currant Jellyi This is a safe and at
the same time simple recipe for the
most popular of all jellies. Strain the
Juice of raw currants through cheese
cloth bags, and to every cup of the
clear juice you must have one cup of
granulated sugar, heated in the oven.
Do not allow it to melt. Boil the clear
Juice for about five minutes, then add
the sugar and stir until thoroughly dis
solved. Just before it comes to a boil
remove from fire and pour into Jelly
glasses.
Ginger Fcant Take eight pounds of
hard green pears, eight pounds of
sugar, half pound of green ginger root,
the Juice of four large lemons. Cut the
outside skin off the lemons in very
small pieces, but be sure to cut away
the white part, leaving only the yel
low outside skin. Peel and cut the
pears in very thin slices. Put the gin
ger root to soak in a pint of lukewarm
water over night, drain off the water,
strain and save to put with the sugar.
Scrape and cut the ginger in thin
slices. Put all the ingredients to
gether, and cook nearly an hour or
until the syrup is thick.
Watermelon Rind Preserves: Buy a
large, luscious melon and cut the red
heart out and serve for dessert. Care
fully save the white rind and peel it,
and cut in rather long thick pieces
about the size and thickness of a small
encumber pickle. Take the Juice and
the rind of two large lemons (rind cut
In small pieces). Cook the latter and
a piece of white ginger until tender.
Take the weight of-the melon fruit
in sugar and enough water to dissolve
it. When the syrup- has cooked until
it ropes, add the lemon Juice, rind and
fruit. Then cook all together until
Quince Honey" Make a thick syrup
of three pounds of granulated sugar
and one pint of hot water. Let It boil
and add to the syrnp three large
quinces which have been grated. Boil
all together for 20 minutes, then add
a tiny bit of powdered alum about
the size. of a green pea.
Canned Elderberries! One peck of
firm, ripe elderberries, and one pint
of strong vinegar, three pounds oi
brown sugar, and one quart of molas
ses. Boll all together for five or ten
minutes and bottle. The elderberries
should be measured after picking from
che stems.
Rrandlrd Peam Four pounds or
pears with their weight in sugar and
one pint of the best brandy. Cook the
pears tender in clear water, lift out
gently on to plates. To the sugar add
enough of the water In which the pears
were cooked to dissolve, let it boll ana
skim. Now add the pears very care
fully, and simmer gently until clear.
Place the pears in jars, add the brandy
to the syrup, fill up the jars and seal

Cleaning Kitchen Utensils.
New Tork Times.
It is the custom of many housewives
to use sand soap for scouring and
clesning almost anything in tin or
agate .ware in their kitchen.
This Is a great mistake, as sand soap
is injurious to some kinds of kitchen
ware. A bottle of ammonia and a
bottle of kerosene are very useful for
cleaning some of the utensils which
will not stand such a strenuous rub
bing. Fdr instance, if you will put
a few drops of ammonia In your frying
plan it will work wonders. You can
also put it in the coffee pot occasion
ally when you are scalding it.
Galvanized iron and agate ware
should be wiped with kerosene, as the
sand soap will in time wear away the
enamel. If.Vou burn your agate ware
pan put a teaspoonful of borax or
washing soda in the pan with hot
water and boil for 15 minutes.
The Xewest Ruffs.
Some very remarkable neck ruffs are
shown where the frilllngs are very full
and of silk tulle, in white, black or
khaki. They are made also' in the
exact tone of the gown, forming a
sort of collarette for the costume.
Some of these ruffs have a draping
of soft taffeta in front to form a cravat,
and they are tied in the back with a
big bow of ribbon to match the tulle.
Then there Is a neck ruff of ostrich
which Is quite different from its rela
tion of other years. At present it has
no ends whatever and simply encircles
the throat, fastened in the front with
a cluster of artificial flowers.
CORSET COVER WITH BERTHA FOR SLENDER FIGURE.
Right Way to
"I
VE Just shampooed my hair and I
can't do a thing with it.".
The expression is so common that
it has become a stock joke in vaudeville.
Shampooing generally makes the hair
rebellious and not without reason, for
nine women out of ten do not treat their
hair with either intelligence or ordinary
kindness.
"My, my," cries the reader, "don't
I wash my hair every two weeks and
tiassage it every night?"
Perhaps, but how and with what?
There lies the rub.
I have known women who washed their
hair once a week and their brushes and
combs once a month.
When you wash your hair, wash your
brush. Otherwise it forms a resting place
for dust and eerms.
I have known other women, thrifty
souls whose brag it is that they never
waste, a minute, to wash their hair just
before retiring and allow it to hang over
the side of the bed and dry at night.
That is a sura way to make the hair
heavy and sour.
I have known other women," who blind
ly followed the advice of neighbors or
friends, to fade the hair or break it by
using some strong alkali in the shampoo
mixture.
Fit the shampoo mixture to the needs of
your own hair, not your neighbor's hair,
and never shampoo at all unless you have
time to do it properly.
With the woman of dry, brittle hair,
shampooing is indeed a delicate process.
She must exercise the most exquisite cara
or pay a heavy price for her indiscretion.
Ammonia, washing soda, bor.'ix or patent
ed shampoos of whose ingre.iients she is
ignorant, may crack her hair and destroy
what little life exists in the roots.
Again, the woman with dry hair often
thinks she is safer if she does not sham
poo at all, because the process of wash
ing, rinsing and drying is trying on the
hair, so she .uses what is known as the
antiseptic shampoo plainly speaking, a
gasoline bath. In this she is wrong. Ilcr
scalp needs the cleansing which only soap
and water will supply, and It must be
given at least once a month:
To begin with, do not shampoo the
hail until you have time to perform the
rile properly. A hasty shampoo is not
only untidy but It Is dangerous. Select a
One-Plece Circular
clear, sunshiny day. Have at hand plen
ty of old. soft towels, and if possible the
means of warming them. Start by wash
ing your brushes and comb. Soft, soapy
water, not hot. Just tepid, with perhaps
a dash of ammonia or borax will be need
ed Tor this. Do not allow the brushes to
soak long. Rub them together briskly
in about two or three waters containing
soap, then rinse in clear water of the
same temperature until it runs off clear
turn, bristles down, to dry where the
air will pass through them. Do not
set wooden-backed brushes In the
sunlight. The backs will warp.
Now. if your hair Is dry, use only
the egg shampoo mixture, as follows
Mix one raw egg with a pint of luke
warm rainwater and one ounce of
rosemary spirits. Wrhen thoroughly
beaten and mixed, rub this into the
scalp, a good way being to have some
one pour it. slowly from a small-lipped
pitcher while you rub It thoroughly
into the scalp, as if you wanted to
reach the very roots. Then rinse the
hair In many clear waters, all luke
warm.
Pat, but do not rub the hair with
warmed towels. Do not rub the scalp
with a rough bath towel. When work
lng on the scalp itself use the softest
toweling at your command and rub it
very lightly. As soon as the bulk of
the moisture has been absorbed by the
towels, seat yourself in the sun and,
gently shaking the hair loose from the
Drawers. .
Shampoo Hair
scalp for the air to pass through, dry -it
by ventilation and the sun's
warmth.
Just before it is perfectly dry begin
to brush and comb it, working from
the ends of the hair up to the scalp
In disentangling It. Never comb from
the scalp outward and jerk the comb
through intervening snarls.
When entirely dry, and not until
then, give it a final brushing with bril
liantine. Drop the brilliantine, a few
drops at a time, into the palm of your
hand and rub the clean brush In this.
Then apply brush to hair. This pre
vents the rough look which dry hair
always has after shampooing. A good
grade of brilliantine can be purchased
for 50 cents at any drugstore or toilet
wares counter, but you can also make
It yourself If you have a taste for
mixing toilet lotions. The following
formula Is reliable:
Castor oil, 4 fluid drachms: sweet
almond oil, 3V4 fluid ounces; glycerine,
8 fluid drachms; Jockey Club ex
tract, 3 fluid drachms; alcohol, enough
to mflkA 8 ounces.
At night shake the hair loosely and
massage the scalp, dipping your finger
tipa into the least bit of pure olive
oil. Very dry hair Indicates lack of
fatty deposits in the hair cells.
An opposite treatment Is needed
when shampooing oily hair. Here you
can use a little alkali, such as borax.
Make a strong suds of pure olive oil
soap or standard white soap which
does not "bite" the tongue when you
taste It. To a basin of water add a
pinch of borax and finely shaped, soap
uhtll you have a thick lather. Never
rub the soap directly on the scalp. Ap
ply this shampoo mixture either with a '
sponge or by having It poured onto the
head while you rub It In with your
linger tips. Rinse and dry as de
scribed above, but do not finish off
with the brilliantine application. Sim
ply brush it until it shines.
Oily hair sometimes amounts to an
affliction, the hair turning heavy and
dark at the roots 24 hours after sham
pooing. In this case, try the follow-.
tng lotion as a cleanser ana rinse
thoroughly before drying.
Bicarbonate of soda, 14 ounce;
borax, 14 ounce; cologne water, i
ounces; rectified spirits, 1 ounce; tinct
ure of cochineal, V, ounce; distilled
water, IS ounces. Mix and shake thor
oughly. This mixture should not be used
often er than once a week. If, between
Snampoos, you WISH lo vieniiBa ui uir,

ers, 2 drachms; cloves (coarsely
ground) Vz drachm.
Mix these ingredients and pass
through a sieve twice. Powder the
hair at night with it, and massage for
10 minutes. In the morning massage
for five minutes, and shake the hair
and brush all the powder out.

My white walled castle fa my own,
1 rule supreme upon the throne.
I'm guarded by each tow'rtng tree,
I own the waters under me.
I drtnk of earth and sea and aky
What worldly kins so rich aa I?
