Summer Clat.
THE really summer weather of th
pact week brought out the whit
I gowns in plenty and they were
restful and cheerful to look upon
-.'" Next to all white, the whit
gown With one color In accessories was
' th choice, and Rome novel ideas were
brought out In this way. For Instance
.' Jt seems to bo quite correct this yea
to Veer white gowna and white ties
; with a bit of vivid blue In hat trimming,
and blue hosiery, or a lingerie hat with
rlM rlhhon and the plaid colors In
'hose; or white and green, with greej
ribbons and stockings striped or aoupu
'. In green, with a parasol which lias n
deep hem of the green. There is oppor
tunity for abusing this scheme or color
in. ku( If the combinations are care
fully made, they are not Intrusive and
give piquancy.
; Sunshades were never prettier than
tola year, and some styles are seen mat
art new. The Toklo shape with 1 ribs
la a favorite, snd tho Japanese parasol
la certainly having a vogue. The styles
range from the elaborate embroidered
all-white silk, to the heavy wooden-
ribbed sun shades wltn tneir oriental
pattern, and all are pretty and dainty.
For the more conservative there Is the
strictly tailored parasol which is made
of rain-proof silk and can be carried
for an umbrella aa well, a most con
venient and economical affair.

iris should be largely grown in
the: .herbaceous border. A col
lection of well-assorted species will fur
nish' flowers at least from May until
July. If there is but little space It can
be more profitably filled with other
plants. However, there is one species
iris kasmpferl, that should be found in
every collection of choice plants. The
flowers are large and vary In color from
pure to dark maroon and purple, both
single and double, with every shade of
markings in blotches, stripes and pen-

of choice flowers. Division should al
ways be made in autumn, and it is best
not to let the clumps remain undivided
for more than three years, every two
years being preferable. It is far better
to divide half the clumps each year. If
left for three years, divide one third of
the plants annually. When left longer
than three years undivided the clumps
die out In the centers and do not make
vigorous flowering shoots on the outer
' sides. In the ordinary garden the best
results can be obtained only by deep
cultivation, heavy manuring and deep

open border will show clumps of plants

Pr. Wiley's Advice.
R. HARVEY W. WILEY, United
States food' expert, gives some
generalxrulea for hot weather
let. which almsgh a.trlfle drastic In
regard to fresh rflrfC 'are worth con
sidering. These are his rules:
Eat one fourth less In summer than
In winter.
Eat meat In moderation. Select the
lighter meats.
Hanlsh all aloonollc beverages.
Eat most largely of cooked fruits
nd vegetables.
Drink nothing below HO degrees In
temperature, ana drink sparingly.
Be careful to seek the society of
cheerful friends.
Practice moderation In open air exer
cise. Don't fret; don't worry.
"Thousands of people are, made sick
In summer because they do not know
how or what to eat. observed nr.
Wiley. "But the same criticism applies
to the winter season as well. Few peo
ple follow definite rules. Moderate eat
ing, moderate drinking, moderate exer
cise in the open air and cheerful friends
will keep any good man alive through
the summer.
"Eating In summer should be dimin
ished by about one quarter, Inasmurh
as the heat energy Is one quarter less
than In winter. '
"Fruits and vegetables are the normal
diet for summer, provided they are
cooked. If eaten raw they should not
be contaminated with pathogenic bac
teria. "Few persons who delight in raw
fruits for breakfast have any Idea of
pathogenic bacteria, its appearance or
Its taste, if it has any. Bo apples,
peaches, grape and even the delectable
grape fruit are to be banished because
they may have been contaminated.
Stewed Driines are good, if you like
them and the contamination has been
cooked out of them.
"The festive highball and the mora
plebeian 'scuttle or suas- are 10 oe put
aside. Alcohol when oxidised Is nothing
but heat, and these summer days are
hot enough. Should more alcohol be
used than Is oxidised the user gets
poisoned. It Is hard to tell during the
heated season when the alcohol Im
bibed la going to stop oxidizing, so tho
safest plan is to cease Imbibing.
"Care should be taken against over
indulgence In very cold drinks or frozen
relishes. On hot days no beverages
below SO degrees In temperature should
be taken. Otherwise they are apt to
produce what physicians describe as
Ice-water dyspepsia. Soda water and
to cream are alike bad when taken In
large quantities. Observe the law of
moderation and eat and drink slowly."
Here Dr. Wiley Interrupted his sol
emn warning to break Into verse:

Another farmer, wiser from his own
experience, still loves the robin and the
meadow lark. They never fall to awaken
the boyish enthusiasm that he felt
when he plowed the flrxt plot of ground
that was to be his own. Looking back
to see how straight his furrow turned,
he saw them picking up Hie cutworms
from the soft soil and knew they were
doing him a Signal service. I hen he

and marked that ground! And sowed
It every bit of that great big aero to

EW YORK, July 11. The Charlotte
Corday hat Is very popular for
summer wear.
Coats of lace and net are lined with
moussellne do sole to preserve their
lightness and transparency.
Summer wash materials show attrac
tive borders in graduated dote, stripes,
the chevron patterns and Greek key de
signs.
Low ties of tan and black leather are
piped with white kid. Shoes of brown
ooxe leather are very popular.
The princess dress Is worn by old
and young and the panel front Is ex
tremely popular on washable dresses
as well aa on elaborate gowns.
Coats of black satin are much worn
with linen or lingerie frocks and either
long ones or bewitching little coatees
made of black or colored chiffon.
The two piece suits of white serge or
mohair are distinctly fashionable, and
they have the collar and cuffs of black
or colorer velvet.
The sash Is an Important accessory,
and Is found In a solid color or In the
pompadour colorings. They are draped

skirt and cutaway jacket. Striped linen
is very attractive with the chevron ef

The now popular hat that has taken
the place of the "Merry Widow" Is the
style with the rolling brim on one side
and a large cluster of bows on the oth
er side. These bows are placed a little
at one side of the back
Crochet buttons have been accented
among the fads for summer as an ex
tremely smart trimming. They are made
or nana crocnet or soutacne. fine Praia
or very fine cord sewed or Interlaced
into a design, and then mounted on a
wooden mold which has been covered
with linen. These buttons are used on
costumes of linen, heavy silk and net.
I,ong sleeves are favored on morning
frocks and many afternoon costumes
more than those of three quarter length.
The mosquetalre Is popular on separate
blouses as well as on evening gowns.
Ruffled sleeves of lace were never love
lier than they are this season, these
worn mostly with the Jumper dress and
the sleeveless coat.

purple and green. Louis purple Is a
very fashionable color, and also the Du
Barry pink, craam colored ribbon Is
very handsome when flowered in either
of these shades.
Fine mull or linen waists that are
worn with a dressv skirt and coat suit
of rajah or mohair are often embroi

some little detail of trimming. Some
times the blouse is of linen In a deli

Bathing suits In rich shades of brown

A new fold-over collar for men Is
made of pique. Unlike the usual out

though the ends are held together with
a gold pin, just as were those of the
soft collar so popular last summer.
Four-in-hands now have fringed
ends.
The newest bat's-wlngs are made of

Things Worth Knowing.
Anyone who Is unfortunate enough to
soil a new light cloth costume should
proceed as follows: Take a piece of
new bread and a little riour in a waucar.
Dip the bread In the flour, and gently
rub the soiled part, taking fresh bread
and flour each time. If properly done,
a very bad mark can be remoed.
A Hint for Carpet Joining. If two
pieces of carpet are to be joined to
gether. It Is a great mistake to muke
a seam, which causes an unsightly
ridge on the right side. The pattern
should first be matched, the carpet then
reversed, and each edge buttonholed
firmly with flax thread of the colon of
the groundwork. The two pieces should
then be drawn together firmly, so that
a perfect Join is the result.

Waste of Force.
OMETIMES It enrages me to see
good brains going to waste and
their owners suffering because of
It, writes Louise Satterthwalte.
It seems to me that people toe
often thtnk as they breathe with the
very least corner of their anatomy pos
sible. I went into a house the other day and
saw there a not uncommon scene one
which anybody can go into nearly any
house and se for themselves.
This was no less than a worn-out
and stale mother pursued by a yowling
little one. Wherever she went h
tagged after her. H was only a little
mlt. of a. and a very dear little mite.
But h tagged after her and whined,
and aha would take him up and put him
down, and play with him, and get bored
and then angry, and then turn on a
pel! of patience. Then for a while the
child would be really amused, and there
would be peace. Then he would be put
down again because of some duty she
must attend to. Immediately would
commence the tagging and yowling tac
tics aforesaid.
Taken altogether, et the end of th
day that mother and ehlld must be the
worst bored, worn-out couple you could
very well wish to see, and nearly any
one would be apt to blame th child aa
a veritable little nuisance.
When all the time It was because tho
mother did not use a little more or th
brain that Ood had given her, and so
avoid all this trouble.
A pair of blunt-nosed old scissors, for
instance, and an old fashion paper, some
spools and buttons and an empty box or
two; or, to come down to kitchen helps,
an enchanting wire basket and some
various Jingling email things therein, or
an old sieve with eome cornmeal for
sand, the whole outfit placed on a sheet
her was elyslum for the boy and
peace for his mother.
A child bless his heart! does not, if
h be trained aright, ned a whole
Punch and Judy show, played every
minute for his benefit. Neither does he
require a full-grown circus to pass the
house to take his attention, nor several
clowns, a live chimpanzee and a $50
hobby-horse to be happy. He does not
need to be amused every minute of the
day and all day. Give him half a chance
and some old rlgmajlgs and he will get
more fun out of them than a whole box
of molrlkeys.
What he does need, however. Is some
thing to do, to keep his hands and nim
ble little mind 'busy, and a reasonable
variety from day to day In the things
with which he works. A little thought
and Ingenuity on the mother's part and
she can have a happy, chuckling, talk-Ing-to-hlmself
child, or several of them.
and plenty of time to do her own things
or ret or read, as the case may be.
Think It over, mothers, and make your
head save your heels when It comes to
child-care.
Treatment of Constipation.
After the first year of a child's life
and until the time when a regular varied
vegetable diet can b given, much dif
ficulty is often experienced with consti
pation. All through this period fata
are useful, and cream Is the best. But
ter and animal fats may also be used.
When the coarser cereals, well cooked,
can be given, they often diminish the
difficulty. laxative fruits without seeds
may also be given freely, and In this
manner it is important to note that
many leading physicians advise orange
Juice to be given to a 1.abv soon after
birth for the prevention of this very
trouble.
Without recourse to medicinal agents,
the mother should be able to regulate
th kind and amount of food taken, and
by massage and a fre us of water
keep the child s bowels in a healthy
condition.
Regularity in feeding Is Important,
and It Is always well to bear In mind
that while occasional medicines or sup
positories may be used, they are only
a relief and In no case a cur. A thor
ough and careful attempt to correct the
trouble by diet should be the usual
method. ,
