She considers the panorama of fash
ions as a parade from which one can
choose the thing best suited to one
self. Consequently, she always commands
your admiration, as well as your envy,
and you fretfully ask yourself how she
does It.
When you find that she does not
spend more money than you do, per
haps not as much, and yet achieves
this result, you do one of two things:
You petulantly or vaingloriousiy say
that life is too full of more important
things for you to give such time and
attention to the vulgar "necessity of
dress.
Or you sensibly recognize that the
question of clothes must be met. and
it behooves every well-balanced woman
today to do each of the necessary
things of life with Intelligence and or
ganization, and that it is neither a
credit to her judgment, her taste, or
her perception of money value, to dress

IT behooves every woman to take a
little time out of the stir of things
and take an inventory of her rela
tion to clothes. The inactivity of the
Summer season offers the best chance
at leisure.
Of morals, of mentality, of character,
I do not speak. That is not the prov
ince of a stranger, but an inventory of
clothes and of oneself in them, of the
money needed to dress well, of the pit
falls one should avoid and the effort to
overcome the temptation of going
long the line of least resistance of
these things we can all talk together.
Kach woman has her own experi
ences. No one is so blessed with money
and taste and Judgment that she has
no mistakes to her credit In the matter
f clothing herself.
Some women are born with the
Clothes sense Just as they are with the
card or the music sense, but they err.
Some women have an easier path
through the maze of fashions than
those who struggle wildly and fret
fully with each recurring fashion.
There are other women many of
them who feel so hopelessly out of
the running when it comes to fashion
able dressing that they give up any of
competing with their neighbors and
either negligently or dogmatically
wear whatever comes their way.
Stock-Taking .Necessity.
Possibly the most discomforting
knowledge that can come to one who is
irchlni for liaht on how the well-
dressed woman manages to look so
continuously well-dressed. Is that she
leaves nothing to chance, does nothing
In a hurry. The other woman always
argues that she has not the time in life
to attend to her costumery. and Its ar
rangeemnt on herself, regarding it as a
serious matter; to which the other
woman retorts that she can never hope
for good results under that theory.
The crux of the situation lies there;
no woman is well-dressed who does not
take clothes seriously, not as the end
and aim of life, which Is a doll's busi
ness, but as a commodity which must
be worth the money spent.
One admires sucji judgment. It shows
a sense of good management that can
never be put down to the woman who.
saying she has not the time to give to
a matter of so little Importance as
clothes, spends her husband's hard,
earned dollars on a frock that is
neither becoming nor worth its price.
When one argues with this type of
woman and it abounds she usually
takes the attitude that she hasn't suf
ficient vanity to pay attention to these
things. And it Is almost impossible to
persuade her that good business sense,
not vanity, is at the root of wise pur
chases of clothes.
This Is a lesson she should learn. It
may not be her own money that she is
spending, and to spend another's money
willfully and wastefully is wrong from
healthy moral point of view.
Merlon Thought Required.
After she takes this idea to heart
and looks at the valueless wardrobe
she may have assumed during the Win
ter, and wonders why she never has
the right frocks for the right occa
sions, possibly she may find it wise to
sit down and take stock of her cos
tumery and its relation to her charac
ter as well as to her physical appear
ance. There is a reason for a tangle in
everything. Few conditions are brought
about solely through happenings. And
when one is badly dressed at all times.
IS also fretted about clothes, and is
found wanting whenever a special oc
casion srises. there is often a remedy
to be found If one will thoroughly ana
lyze her failings.
Few women like to acknowledge this,
for it is easier to lay the blame on the
styles or the pocketbook. or to make
that flrst and last excuse: a lack of
vanity. The real truth is that it Is
easier to assume the personal responsi
bility, for then the remedy is at hand.

We can't change other Influences, but
we can change ourselves; or rather we
can apply the remedy.
So, probably, the time may not be m-
snent in takinir stock of ourselves and
finding out what was the matter last
Winter and Spring and applying to our
wardrobe and its consequent expense
the same business method that a man
applies to his financial affairs. It will
help even when a woman has had a
successful season. She knows just where
she stands and what counted against
failure.
Cause of Failure Shown.
One of the greatest failures of most
wardrobea is tne gown purchased for a
social affair without due thought. A
wedding, a luncheon, a dance comes up,
and orfe rushes from shop to shop to
find a ready-to-wear gown; finally, in
the despair that accompanies fatigue,
physical and mental, one buys a gown
which is not only wrong, but which one
despises from that moment.
It looks well in the shop, and the
slight alterations seem easy to do un
til one begins them, and then they as
sume the proportions of a problem in
Euclid. Altering a ready-to-wear gown
is one of the most annoying and tedious
pieces of dressmaking work, one which
even the experienced dressmakers often
refuse to attempt.
The amateur, however, embarks upon
it without firm knowledge of Its shoals,
and is often wrecked. The gown never
appears well, one always has the feel
ing that It cost twice as much as it is
worth, and one vows never to do it
..rain Ah' thnRe vows. We all have
made them. The truth we should take I
to heart Is that it is far better policy
to refuse an invitation that is a hurry
call for a new gown than to accept it
unless one is sure of one's judgment
and pocketbook. It is quite too often
a costly pleasure.
It is on this rock that so many ward
robes wreck. And this is a difficult
truth to digest evidently, from the
number of disasters that occur. An
excellent motto to put in each closet Is
one which warns us to think well over
the purchase of every frock.
"Bargains" Often I'seless.
Far better go without the wonderful
bargain that Just suits the purse than
to spend a useless dollar. Enough of
these in one year will count up to the
price of one good gown.
The doctors and race experts say we
eat too much, and it might be wisely
added that nearly every woman buys
too many clothes. Each woman will
deny this assertion with emphasis, be
cause she remembers the frequent oc
casions for which she had nothing to
wear. She has bought too much, how
ever, when she has two useless suits
or frocks hanging in the closet.
There are women to whom the bar
gain counter is as alluring as a pack of
cards to a gambler. They find a dozen
things there at moderate prices of
which they are not In immediate need.
They think they will "come in handy"
some day. and they absorb the dollars
that should have been guarded for one
especially nice thing.
A bargain counter is an admirable
institution when it caters to your need,
but it is disastrous when it serves only
your desire to buy cheap that which
may never be used.
A woman usually buys too many odd
pieces of neckwear, of stockings that
do not go with one's frocks, of hats
that soon fade or lose their shape, of
blouses that do not fit, do not last, and
do not harmoniee with one's suits.
Every woman has on hand a stock of
these inutile things: she bought them
under the Impression that they were
cheap; or probably she bought them
under the knowledge that they were
pretty.
Random Buying Criticised.
Half the secret of ill-buying is the
random method adopted. One sees a
thing in a shop and buys it independ
ent of its immediate usefulness in the
wardrobe. Fashion In materials
changes almost as quickly as fashion
long tunic is open at the side and
in silhouette, and the thing bought
merely because it might serve at some
time rarely finds its place
in the
scheme of good dressing.
Clothes are not like real stocks. One
does not buy them for a rise in values.
The only legitimate demand one has
for them is for quick and speedy use
before their value is entirely passed.
If one will look at them in this light
and buy accordingly, one will not suf
fer from the consequences.
There was a day and generation
when women had "best" clothes, which
originated the phrase "Sunday-go-to-meeting
gowns"; provincialism of
small communities that found their
weekly social meeting place in the
church and dressed accordingly. Such
costumes were laid In lavender, fig
uratively speaking, during the work
days, and no properly brought up wom
an was allowed the extravagance of
wearing a "best" gown except on a
"best" occasion.
Social Demands Gone.
Today this has been changed. The
church holds its proper place. Women
go there to worship, or not at all. and
the promptings of modern good taste
call for a simple tailor suit with an in
conspicuous hat. Little by little is the
church decreasing as a social factor,
and more and more is real religion
making itself felt; the creed of service
to mankind sustained and directed by
faith.
And also the "best" gown has gone.
We wear whatever we wish at all
times. The closet holds no frock dedi
cated to a weekly airing. Women who
know the art of dressing as well as the
art of sp'ending money judiciously buy
only the fewest clothes to suit the op
portunities their lives offer, and strive
to get their value through constant
service while their fashion lasts.
In this creed lies the success of the
well-dressed woman.
You, who dress at loose ends and are
constantly impoverished through dress
expenditures, often envy the perfection
of the woman who wears the right
clothes at the right moment, and you
put the condition down to the theory
that she has a larger bank account
than you have.
Over-Stocking Bad Fault.
On the surface it may appear that
She spends more money, but intimacy
with such women often reveals the fact
that each article of clothes is chosen
with distinct references to its exact
usage, and care and discrimination
have gone toward its purchase. Each
dollar has counted. No nickel has gone
to waste.
She realizes that clothes fluctuate in
their value more rapidly now than be
fore, and she has no intention of being
such a poor business woman as to be
left on the sands with a heap of use
less and half-worn things from which
the high tide of fashion has ebbed.
If high muslin collars are in style
she does not buy every one she sees
that is pretty or reasonably prices; be
cause hats are in fashion she does not
fill her wardrobe with them, for they
may soon be out. She does not buy
more than one kind of gown for each
kind of occasion, for she realizes that
there are many months left in the year
and her first gowns may be out of
style before half the year has turned.
She looks well at a fashion before
she makes up her mind that it Is suited
to her face, her figure, her opportuni
ties. She looks at all the evidence and
sifts from it what she needs.
For instance, if she has a wide neck
under the ears she does not wear the
high collar that rolls all the way
around, for she knows that it makes
her look at her worst.
Characteristics Need Study.
If she has a large ankle, she does not
slash her skirt at the hem in order to
give freedom in walking. If she has a
large face she does not wear one of
those absurdly small hats that the
style calls into being, and if her hips
are unusually broad, she does not add

PORTLAND. July 5. Will you kindly
give rec!pe for elderberry wine Also can
you make Jelly out of elderberries? Thank
ing you in advance. MKi. K. 15.
ELDERBERRY wine (1) Four five
gallons of water on five quarts of
elderberries picked from the stems.
Heat and boil one-half hour. , Strain
and add 14 pounds brown sugar, and
boll again one-half hour. Put three
pounds raisins Into a large crock and
pour boiling liquor over them. When
lukewarm add two cakes compressed
yeast mixed with one cup lukewarm
water. Mix and let stand three days,
then strain into a cask, keep four
weeks or until fermentation is com
plete, then strain into bottles. It should
be ready to use In three months.
Eldebrerry wine (2) Nine quarts
elderberry juice, nine quarts water, 12
pounds sugar, two ounces cream of tar
tar, yeast to ferment a above. While
fermentation is in progress add one
ounce ginger root, one ounce allspice,
one-fourth ounce cloves. Tie in muslin
and suspend the spices in the cask.
When fermentation is complete seal up
and leave two months to clear, then
draw off and bottle.
The elder Juice alone gives a Jelly of
Deculiar flavor not always well liked.
The apple Juice in-Uhe following recipe
helps both "jelling and riavor
Apple and elderberry jelly Pull the
elderberries from the stems. Heat in
a double boiler with a little yellow
lemon peal until the juice runs, then
strain. Cut all imperfections from the
apples, c.ut in quarters, barely cover
with water, simmer until soft, then
drain. To three cups apple Juice add
one cup elderberry juice. Boil 20 min
utets, add three and three-fourths cups
sugar, made hot in the oven, and boil
until the jelly drops from a cold spoon.
Store in the usual way in glasses. For
some tastes the flavor is improved by
the addition of a little yellow orange
peel to the cooking juice. Remove this
before the sugar is put in. If the ap
ple juice is not acid enough add a little
tartaric acid. A little ginger or other
spice may also be used to vary the
flavor. One maker I know uses a
small quantity of vanilla bean and
orange peel in elder Jelly with good
success. The following may interest
you. It is taken from a very old cook
book: "Pick green elderberries and leave in
brine until well salted, then wash in
fresh water and heat with vine leaves
to green them. Put' in bottles (glass
cans would be safer) and cover with
strong vinegar, spiced to euit your
taste. Use these in place of French
capers with boiled (it is 'boyled' in the
book) mutton.
In connection with capers I may re
mind readers who like pickles, salads
and piquant sauces and have nastur
tiums in their gardens that nasturtium
seeds, gathered daily before they be
come too hard, make an Inexpensive
substitute for capers in piquant dishes.
An easy way is to have a quart can
half full of strong, slightly salted vin
egar, with or without spices, and to
drop in each day's harvest of nastur
tium seeds, gathered when you gather
the flowers. Nothing could be simpler;
and a good jar of pickled nasturtium
seeds Is a useful thing to have on hand
for the Winter. Put up in small bot
tles, too, they make nice little useful
and "unusual" gifts for the "light
housekeeper" who has no garden.
PORTLAND. July G. Kindly give a recipe
for peach cocktail, also for old-faahloned
peach butter. Would like you to repeal a
recipe for peach chutney given a year or
two ugo which I have lost. I find your
column very helpful. MRS. C. L.
Peach cocktail Pare and slice a medium-sized
peach for each service. Sprin
kle with lemon juice and powdered
sugar to keep from discoloring. Serve
plain or combined with a little orange
or pineapple juice or pulp, or seasoned
with a little sherry or maraschino, if
preferred. In any case have it thor
oughly chilled and very daintily ar
ranged in cocktail or punch glasses.
Old-fashioned peach butter Pare,
stone and crush very ripe peaches and
simmer in cider boiled down as thick
a.4 molasses. For each gallon of thick
cider add two cups sugar and to three
quarts peach pulp allow one pint of
the cider and sugar mixture. Boil down
slowly until thick, adding spices or
not as preferred.
The following is a quick "modern"
method:
Peach butter, quick method Scald,
wipe and stone one-half bushel of
peaches and pass through the food
chopper, setting a bowl ,to catch the
juice. Measure and add one cup
sugar for every pint of pulp. Mix and
boil about two hours, stirring occa
sionally. At the last constant stir
ring will be necessary to prevent burn
ing. Or heat the pulp and sugar and
place In the fireless cooker, giving the
last part only of the boiling directly
over the stove. Add spices or not as
preferred.
I hope the following is the recipe
you mean:
Peach chutney To four pounds of
peaches, weighed without parings and
pits, allow one and one-fourth pints
vinegar and stew together until soft.
Mix one-half pound each white mus
tard seed, chopped onions, chopped
raisins and sugar, one-fourth pound
of scraped green ginger root (may be
omitted), one tablespoon "Spanish pep
per" and two cloves garlic crushed
line, i Mix well and add to the peaches
witli three-fourths pint more vinegar,
if necessary. Cook about 15 minutes,
add cayenne, if liked very hot, and
store in small Jars.
PORTLAND. Or.. July 2. Would like an
easy recipe for tomato catsup, also a good
recipe for stuffed green peppers. Thanking
you in advance. MRS. H. M. W.
I hope the following will suit you.
"Stuffed peppers" may mean so many
different things, but the recipes given
below' are typical and may suggest
others to you:
Tomato catsup (1) Boll fresh ripe
tomatoes and run through a sieve. To
each quart Juice add one tablespoon
each cinnamon and white pepper, one
fourth teaspoon cayenne, one table
spoon ground mustard, three table
spoons salt and two onions finely
chopped. Boil three hours, then for
each quart pulp add one pint cider
vinegar and boil one-half hour longer.
Bottle while hot.
Tomato catsup (2) Scald and re
move the skins from the tomatoes. For
one-half bushel ripe tomatoes add one
half cup salt, two cups sugar, three
tablespoons each ground mace and cel
ery seed, two tablespoons ground cin
namon and two quarts vinegar. Boil
until reduced one-half, then pass
through a sieve. Reheat and store while
hot. The amount and kind of spices
may oe vaneo io sun.

TO see the gay and care-free life
at the American Summer resorts,
which Is Just now getting Into
full swing, one might think that the
persons who take part in it were an
entirely different race of people from
those we see in the society of the Win
ter. There seems to be a different
code of etiquette for the Summer, and
people slip from their Winter man
ners to their Summer manners with
as great ease as they close up their
houses and decamp for the woods or
the seashore.
For most peopule there is little at
traction in the Summer resort that af
fords no relaxation from the more ex
acting manners of Winter. Of late
years even the most formal society
puts aside the rigid convention of clty
life to enjoy the freedom of the Sum
mer time. When the late King Edward
was at his Summer home at San
dringham he set the style of other
Englishman by quite laying off the
formality of his position and behav
ing himself like the most unpreten
tious English gentleman. Even our
own President nowadays follows this
fashion of making the Summer holi
days a time of relaxation as stories
of picnics, cross-country tramps and
informal fun of all sorts testify.
Most Summer resorts have a set of
social requirements of their own. and
the woman with tact will as soon as
possible accustom herself to those
rules and will not be unwilling to
comply with them. There is a decided
ly exclusive colony in one of our moun
tain districts in the East to which ev
ery year a company of families with
draw for the freedom and simplicity
they cannot enjoy at any other place.
There men and women of influence
and wealth, of high rank in Washing
ton and New York society, find a ha

wealth and distinction they may in
dulge in the nine or 10 months they
are in town.

RASMUSSENJTO TRY AGAIN
Danish Millionaire to FHianoe Xew
Xorth Pole Expedition.
COPENHAGEN, July 16. Ole Olsen.
a Danish millionaire, has undertaken
to finance a new north pole expedition
under the command of Knud Rasmus
sen the Danish Arctic explorer.
The expedition probably will start
for the North next Summer and will be
provisioned for two years. All possible
modern appliances are to be provided,
and Rasmussen is to have a staff of
scientists with him. He will establish
his base at Cape York, Greenland.
A Polish scientist is the inventor of
a motion picture camera which can be
carried in the hand and which is op
erated by compressed air as long as a
button is pressed.
trude in this exclusive little paradise,
the ways of fashion are for the time
well nigh forgotten.
Last year a family of supposedly
desirable people was introduced and
at first received with a warm wel
come into this little community. The
women came with a half dozen trunks
apiece, scores of hats and. no end of
new frocks the sort of thing they had
been in the habit of displaying at Palm
Beach and on the Rlverla. The first
day of their sojourn a mountain tramp
was proposed and the newcomers ap
peared in the latest Alpine mountain
costumes, with hats, glovos and boots
to match. The result was that before
many days had passed, during which
they had displayed more of their elab
orate wardrobe, there was a decided
chill in the atmosphere, and before
long these people were glad to seek
new pastures for their Summer's hol
iday. Fit Manners to Stnndanl Planned.
The newcomers had broken none of
the rules of etiquette, but they had
failed to use that tact und Judgment
which are always the part of the wise
woman to use as her social compass
It would have been Just as great a
mistake if these people had gone to
a resort where elaborate dressing was
the rule and had appeared clad in tho
rustic simplicity affected In the simple
mountain resort.
No matter where you are in the
Summer, if you decide to have a share
in the social life you must fit your
manners to the standard already es
tablished. In a great many of the best
resorts elaborate dressing for dinner
Is the custom and here your most
ornate evening frocks are not out of
place. If at your Summer home you
have been entertained at a seven
course dinner, don't return the cour
tesy with a simple country supper,
and on the other hand don't offend
your Summer neighbors in outdoing
them In the costliness and formality
of vour entertainments.
At the Summer hotel one of the first
questions that presents Itself is that
of making friends or acquaintances.
The very fact that a person happens
to be the guest of the same hotel does
not necessarily constitute an Intro
duction. Yet there Is much more leni
ency in this matter at any Summer
place than there is in home society.

WIFE LIKES PITTSBURG
Womun Refuses to Leave City.
Charge Made in Divorce Suit.
WASHINGTON, Pa., July 13. Be
cause his wife flatly refuses to leave
Pittsburg to live with him, Conrad
Blumenstlne, of McDonald, seeks di
vorce from Mrs. Nettle Blumenstlne.
The Blumenstines were married
about 14 years ago. All seems to have
gone well until 1913, when Blumenstlne
made a business trip to Oklahoma. He
alleges in his testimony that in his
absence his wife received at her home
the visits and attentions of three men
of McDonald.
Blumenstlne says that after he came
home from the West his wife went on
a trip to Atlantic City. She never came
back home. She went to i-msDurg ana
tarried there. All efforts of Blumen
stlne, according to his evidence, were
In vain to persuade her to return to
McDonald. She liked Pittsburg and
proposed to stay there.
In the testimony is a statement of a
12-year-old son. who said that on one
occasion his mother took him to Pitts
burg and that there they met one of
the men mentioned by Blumenstlne.
The three of them attended a theatrical
performance, and after the show was
over found that they had missed the
late train to McDonald. He says the
man took them to a hotel and secured
two rooms, one for himself and one
for Mrs, Blumenstlne and her son. The
boy testifies his mother asked him how
he would like to have this man for a
father.

get acquainted, and a man can easily
tell whether other men are desirable

of the family are mutually congenial,
the most natural thing In the world l
to propose a game of cards In the hotel
drawing-room, a promenade together,
an evening In the bowling alley, a
mountain tramp or h trip on the water.
After this the friendship Is well on
its way.
Wa-h the Children. Is Plea.
Remember that others are as anxious
for companionship us you are. and If
you will go half way In the matter
of making new friends you will surely
find responsiveness on the part of
others.
Children, too. are likely to make
friends very readily with other efcll
dren at a Summer hotel or boarding
house perhaps too readily. But chil
dren are not always gooil Judges of
the value of a chance acquaintance as
a permanent friend. The fact that
your 6-year-old darling happens to be
attracted by the numerous toys or
frolicsome manners of the children In
the room next yours is not a sura sign
that you will want to associate with
the mother of these little neighbors.
A word of warning Is not out of
place Just hare. It is difficult to break
a childish acquaintance; so do not let
your children make friends with un
desirable children staying at the same
hotel., with the Idea that the two weeks
or a month of their stay will not make
any difference. These very weeks
may be the moat Impressionable In
your child's life, and undesirable ac
quaintances will do more harm than
months of after training will correct.
However, do not overburden your
self or your family with rules of
any kind in the Summer. Remember
that what most of ui go away for In the
Summer Is to get strength and Inspir
ation for the rest of the stay-at-home
year. If the more formal gayetjr of
the big seaside and mountain resorts
helps stimulate your mind and relax
your body, choose that sort of a vaca
tion If possible. But If the freedom
and fun of the Informul mountain ramp
or seaside cottage appeals to you, by
all means choose the cottage or camp.
