Natural pigskin and crenmy tnn cowhide are the two aristocrat among leathern for these four-piece ensembles, and crenm-whlte linen or lielge inol re are used exclusively for linings, In place of colored textile of former seasons. The travel-wise will order fnhrlc covere for the four pieces, also In matching color, and harmonizing with the leather. These covers are innpped on easily, nnd may be luundered na often aa necea anry. They are particularly desirable for motor travel, a they provide com plete protection against dust nnd scarring. The shoe case In this ensemble Is worth special mentioning because It mny be opened up and hung lint on the closet door na an Hlenl atoruge place for shoes when not In uo for traveling. It Is made In two alzea, to carry twelve or eighteen pulrs of allocs, nnd with special compart ment for hosiery. The fitted dressing case In the ensemble may be replaced by a small dressing ense without fit tings, for the woman who prefers to pack this type of bng with her own particular lotions, creams and toilet articles.

(Pripnnd hf ths Cnltad aulas DprtUMal I AsrlctlHars.) If yon hava a roomy cloaet with tlght-flttlng door and smooth oncracked walla, yoo con use It for fumigating wool garments before storing them over the summer, fumigation with carbon dlsulphld or carbon tetrachlorld will free clothing from any moth In festation that may bar occurred be- plums. Some fruits which we have with os all ths year such ss limes, lemons, oranges and grapefruit add their sest to ths other fruits as well a serving various marmalades. For dinner on hot day have a cold meat platter. Arrange thinly allced chicken left from the previous day, thinly sliced bam and a few slices of cheese. Garnish with eighths of bard-cooked eggs, amall yellow to matoes, peeled, hollowed out snd filled with mayonnaise, placing each on a heart leaf of lettuce. Ice cream la always enjoyed aa a dessert but when the weather Is hot It Is particularly desirable. Bananas are delicious served with crushed fresh currants or currant Juice well sweetened poured over them. 8plcd Prunes. Wash a pound of prune and cover with three cupful of cold water. Let atand over night In the morning simmer gently In the same water nntll tender. Remove the pita, add to the liquid the Juice and rind of a lemon, one-half cupful of vinegar, a cupful of sugar, a teaspoon ful of ground cinnamon and one-half teaspoonful of cloves snd allspice. Slmoer for five minutes, drop In tha prunes and cook five minutes. Re move the fruit to sterilized Jam and boll down the simp for Ova minutes. Tour over the fruit and seal while hot This is an excellent standby as It can be made at any time. Celsry and Shrimp Salad. Dissolve two-thlrda of a teaspoonful of gelatin In three tahlespoonfuls of boiling wa ter, add one-fourth teaspoonful of lemon Juice. Add a tablespoonful of cold water to ihs gelatin to soften before adding th bolllog water. SS Should Keep MIMHHtlHIHrvtHvvHtMMMHtvIMIWI IFHCtnd br (tin t'nllrd Rules Dopsrtmni ot Aarlcullur.) At tht time of year when egg are plentiful and many good dishes are be ing made with them, them Is nothing unusunl In seeing housewife bent Don't Stoop Over to Baat Egga or to Do Other Household Tsaks. over a table rigorously using an egg beater. It's too bad, however, for any woman to assume such bad posture for doing any of her frequently re curring household tasks, for by repetl- , , I my. . y...-' ' S I'llt-. fore the garments were given atten tion. If the closet Is not needed tha clothing, after being fumigated, may be left In It until wanted again. Oi the fumigation may be done aa an ex tra precaution and the clothes then wrapped In tight package or placed In trunk or cedar chests for safe keeping. The bureau of entomology of the United 8tatea Department of Agricul ture gives the following directions for fumigating a cloaet: 8lnce the gas formed by evaporation of either carbon dlsulphld or carbon tetrachlorld Is heavier than air, fumi gation Is dons by placing the liquid In a ahallow dlab on a shelf of the closet ss shown In the Illustration. For a closet 2 by 0 by 7 feet use about three fourths of a cupful of carbon dlsulphld or about one and a half cupful of car bon tetrachlorld. As soon aa ths liquid hae been poured Into the dlab shot ths door and seal cracks about It with gummed paper, or paste on strip of Arm paper, using a flour paste. Seal ing the door prevents the gas from es caping rapidly and keeps clothes moths from crawling Into the closet by way of the cracks and offsetting tha good of the fumigation. Carbon tetrachlorld baa ths great advantage over carbon dlsulphld that Its gas Is neither explosive nor Inflam mable, hence there Is no risk of dm In Its use. When cool add one-fonrtb of a cupful of broken shrimps and one fourth cupful of finely cut tender celery, salt to taste. Mold and chill, serve with any good dressing. When muskmelons am overripe snd have lost some of their flavor, cut the peejed fruit Into cubes snd heap In tall glasses, pour over a lemon or a ginger sirup with a few bits of Canton ginger, chill and serve. Salad Sandwich Loaf. After remov ing the crust cut a whole loaf of bread Into four slices, lengthwise. Put to gether with any desired sandwich fill Ing. nalng three different fillings. Ths following am suggestive: Hub hard-cooked egg through a sieve, season with salt pepper snd melted butter. Take one-fourth cupful of chopped olives snd pickles, two radishes, a bit of chopped green pepper or parsley, salt snd pepper, bind with thick salad dressing.

It would be an eaay thing for her, In ths first place, to (tand with back straight and still bent eggs, II she almply thinks about bow she la standing. She might help herself to maintain good position while at work at the kitchen table If she had a set of blocks mnde to put under ths legs of the table and raise It to a more effective and comfortable work ing height Extension workem among farm women In many states have recently been stressing the Importance of good posture and working levels suited to the Individual. The Illustration, taken by ths United Stutcs Department ol Agriculture, shows a woman In Hamp shire county, Massachusetts, demon strating the effect of having to bend over a work table. Other demonstra tions have Included correct and Incor rect posture while wnshlng dishes, mopping floors, handling food at tht oven, and other common activities tn the ordinary farm household routine labors. Attention must be given to posture no matter what work Is being dona The reward of any effort to Improve the height of working surfaces and household equipment generally tn or der to assure good posture at work i a noticeable lessening of fatigue ana often a reduction tn the time apent oa a given task. The net result la ol course greater leisure and Increased ability to enjoy and use It to advantage. V Building Middle West Backward in Road Beautifying Them la such a thing as wanting too much, but the project ot the Ver mont Chamber of Commerce has its appeal. It Is undertaking a national campaign to beautify the roads. Here in the Middle West the public Is more concerned over getting hard roads than beautiful roads. This means getting money to pay for the paving and maintenance, without re gard for looks. The matter of beauty has to be left mostly to nature. If there happen to be trees along the highway, that Is luck. If ths gouge of a new highway through the gravel or aand Is ugly, time will put vegeta tion there to hide the unlovellness. And yet there Is something that makea a Middle Westerner wishful, (n the announcement that California baa planted trees along 600 miles ot highways; that Massachusetts baa set out GO.O0O trees along Its state high waya, and that Indiana last year set out 10,000 evergreens, Michigan 40,000, along the state roads. It makes one look regretfully at bare, ugly banks, when be beam that Connecticut plants rambler roses, woodbine and boneysockls vine In such places on Its blghwsya. It gives one pause, too, to discover that New Jersey, when it cuts down a tree In widening a high way, replaces It with two others along tha border. May we give no thought to beau tlficatlon, or to conservation of beaoty, along the trunk hlgnways, until that day In the future when the heavenly state of complete pavement shall save been reached I Minneapolis Journal. Americans Slow to See Ugliness Doesn't Pay? In general, Europeans spend a good deal of time admiring what Is done in America, but on one particular they bold this country a horrible example: We am careless builders. Too fre quently our real estate developments give no thought to the future, being bent on quick money and the mini mum responsibility. The people of Europe generally take much mora pains than is thought of In this country, to prevent tasteless and Injurious real estate changes. In many German cities them sm strict regulations preventing the erection of buildings of such architectural char, acter as to contrast unfortunately with the stately beauty of olu struc tures. Them am 29 organizations In England devoted to the preservation of rural beauties. They use publicity and seek legislation to prevent sub dividing beauty spots, destruction ol ancient monuments, constructing ugly buildings or buildings out of keeping with the character of their surround ings, snd spoiling landscapes with un sightly advertisements. In our rapidly developing country, If greater attention were given to ths protection of public rights snd the conservation of natural beauty and to prevention of the encroachment of ugliness. It would be a good thing. And It would pay, too, If that Is any ar gument Material for Outside Walls With the great popularity of the English style ss Interpreted by ar chitects In this country, the bouse wherein are blended a variety of ma terials is frequently seen. There are many Justifications for exterior walls combining several types of finish. Suburban architecture recognizes no single style and conforms to no uni form precedent Neighboring houses on a street will be In brick, stucco, stone and frame. There la therefore every renson for welcoming a new comer which combines several or all of these. For Instance the first story may be stone with brick trim, and small wing In brick, the second story stucco with siding tn the gable ends. Monay for Improvements Some thirteen hundred building and loan associations are lending more than two billion dollars, and for those who wish to carry on remodeling and modernizing of their homes, these as soclntlons will often Increase the first, mortgage on bouse enough to cover the modernizing expenses. National banks may lend up to B0 per cent of their savings deposits on realty loans of five yearn or less. This menus that with all the savings de- . posits now existing there Is plenty ot . money for home construction nnd home modernizing. Portland Oregon lun. Tows Forests and Tasss In Europe town forests have existed for many years. In some Instances the forest yields have been a material help In reducing the town taxes, sny the American Tree association. Many eastern states have special legislation regarding municipal forests. These Include Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, 1'euu lylvania, and Vermont Houis Requires Width One essential principle of architec tural beauty Is that the width of a house shall be greater than It height for only In this way will It fit In with the horizon line In a way that will ' please the eye.
