fJl EVEIt nllow potn and pans, or
Ifl dlBhcs, cither, to llo around
lEAJI (ho kitchen over night or even
for several hours unwashod.
Nothing attracts roaches and ants
moro quickly than scraps, nor Is It
good for Iho pots and pans to Bland
and let tho dirt harden
Tho longer pots and pans stay dirty
tho harder It Is to clean them, bo It
pays In tho end to put them undor run
ning wntcr as soon as they aro emp
tied and removed from tho fire.
Howls or pans which havo held milk,
i eggs or flour Bhould bo rinsed out In
i cold water becauso hot water would
cook tho remains and mnko thorn cling
to tho receptacle,
Tho boiler In whlon cereal cooks is
always messy to clean, but a llttlo
boiling water poured In and allowed
to stand will holp wonderfully to re
move tho sticky scraps.
A burnt pan should bo washed out
with boiling water and sodB, and bo
allowed to boll up for a while on tho
flro hoforo bolng rinsed.
Tins, and Indeed alt metal cooking
utensils should bo laid out to dry
on tho rango shelf for n while before
holng put away and by tho way, even
Itho most careful of rooks Is apt to
neglect her pot lids, yet these got
cakod and dusty iust as do tho pots to
Jtlwhlch they belong.
A pot one burnt on the bottom l

Instance even with their enamel In
teriors should bo carefully watched
rfor tho mlschlof onco dono, subso
lrnont prcsorvos may scorch at any
Jmo.
Knoraol utensils aro pretty and
clean looking, but thoy nro opollcd If
shipped or scratched, for not only do
stain, but they crack and break
loff if hard used. They should not bo

I KLOIUST has discovered by
accldont a new way to catch
I cockroaches. A pint fruit Jar
containing n scrap of lucon
happened to ho left ovor night In one
of his greenhouses. Next morning n
dozen or moro cockroaches were vnln
ly trying to climb tho slippery side of
tho glnsB Jar. Tho HorlBt has succeeded
In ridding his establishment of theso
repulsive creatures, which formerly
nto such hlgb-prleed plnnts ns orchids
and gardonlas. It Is necessary to
paste a piece of paper on tho outsldo
of the Jar so that tho Insects can get
Biifnrent foot hold to climb up Into
the trap. In the original case tho la
bel of the manufacturer supplied this
neod.
MT Is almost impossible to per
suade rooBt girls not to go
bareheaded In tho sun, and for
this rousoit the hair Is often
Injured. Tln effect of tho sun on iho
linlr 1b Just about the same ns using n
ton hot curling Iron, musing tho hnlr
to becomo crisp and dry The oon
Btnnt exposure to the Bun causes tho
hair to lose tho llfn and polish that
It forrnorly had. The only thing to
prevont this condition Is to wear a hat,
a lnrgo straw one being the best for
the purpose. Those hatB are not ex
pensive and they will save tho hair
from losing th nourishing oils nnd
from tho starving of tho follicles.
For hair which has already been In
jured by tho sun It is host to procure
home nourishing tonic If this Is not
dono. light-brown hair will becomo
soiled yellow In spots, black locks
will bocame rusty, while tho natural

he used during tho winter to
mix with other fruits for pies
and the "filler" Is never de-
tected It can bo mixed with apples
for pies. Is delicious when nddtd to
berries and crnnborrlos aro more del
icate when mixed half nnd halt with
lhubarb. One way of preparing rhu
barb Is to cook it until dono without
adding Biigar, though often persons
find It keeps better If preserved in tho
ordinary manner, with less sugar than
Is needed to completely sweeten It
Add but llttlo wntor, for tho rhubaih

H ,0 ,ftX )0Mr ,nmn"r' vcrv bard,
wJ that din Ins the Fionch i evo
lution the liutmtr. girls and
others of the bourgeoisie wnie bodices
und skirts of contrasting colors
The upper half of tho frock was a
plain material, while tho skirt was of
n striped design one of the stripes
usually repenting the color of the
bodice
This picturesque fashion has been
lifted bodll from the past, aud many
of the smartest frocks are Inspired
by those worn by the humble laundty
girl.
One particularly admired has a
snugly nttod Jiodlco of black taffeta of
the softest Quality, out with a low,
pointed neck Hue and long, close tit
ting sleeves Trills of the flnost
cream coloied Mullncs lace arid a
touch of billowy softnenB to tho bodlco
and slooves.
The taffeta chosen tor tho skirts
was a daring design In black and
whlto, showing alternato strlpos two
Inches In width.
Throe narrow tucks were stitched
In above, with wldo hem, nnd through
thorn wore throadod heavy cordB,
which distended tho skirt In n charm

above tho top of tho waist thore Is a

made of cotton and Inclosed In tho lin

skirt will look neat. It Is about four
inches long and two Inches wide and
runs down tho contor Beam directly
over the wnlst line It keeps the nklrt
from Bluklng In. which is nlunya in

know this trick, nnd they wonder why
It Is thej cannot keep the t'entor front
of tho skirt hanging In a perfectly
straight line.
A woman who can cleorly utilize
odds nnd ends that most would throw
nway has found a fascinating uae for
small embroidered tea cloths that ire
too small for a card table nnd too big
for a contorpleco. Sho turns them In
to sofa pillows that nro striking in

bordor is used as a cover to a colored
lining, which glvos n charming effect
with no work. Sometimes a large
monogram is embioldeied heavily In
tho renter of tho ten cloth, It Is dono
either In white or In n color to match
tho lining This Is an excellent way
to uso center-pieces that have worn
Into holes, though the border Is still
in good condition.

reach Cake,
Pool nine or ton peaches and cut In
