THE SOUTHERN WORLD, AUGUST 15,1882. 11 $h* %iouse1io1&. Prepared for The Southern World. Fashion Note*. Low heels are growing in favor Very plain skirts are much worn. Laces were never used more than this sea- Strawberry is the newest shade of [esthetic red. It is said that the first fall dress will be made of a single material. Dame Fashlojt predicts that dresses will soon be lowefin the neck thnn now. The latest thing in handkerchiefs, is heavy colored borders with small embroidered edge. Embroidery resembling lace, sewed on with the scalloped edge turned up, is the popular trimming this season. Thin white dresses made with full skirts, wide hems and plain waists, are worn over handsomely trimmed undersuits. Cream, white and gray ficelle lace combi nations, appear to be the favorites for neck lingerie, and also for diess trimmings. Boquet pins with projecting centres for the stem of flowers, are made of gold or sil ver, for fastening the corsage boquet to the dress. Parisian laced shoes, with pointed perfor ated toes of patent leather, on French kid -iops t .are rapidly taking the place of but toned boots. Blue with brown is a fashionable contrast of colors in imported dresses. A pale blue foulard with dark brown figures, trimmed with bows of brown velvet ribbon, is one of the prettiest of the season. A piece of wide lace basted in the neck of a dress, and turned over like a collar, is quite convenient as well as fashionable. It is finished at the throat with long loops and ends of narrow ribbon, or a neat pin. Silver is now more fashionable for jewelry than gold; its frost-like delicate filigree, and rich tints accord with the profusion of lace, and white and pale-colored toilets that marks the present season as one of the most artistic taste. White square meshed wool grenadines trimmed with Florentine lace and applique cretonne figures, are pretty for mid-summer dresses. The parasol, fan and poke bonnet are of the same fabric made over a colored lining. The prettiest neglige dresses for summer mornings, are of white linen lawn or thin foulard, made in Mother Hubbard shape. The collar and cutis are embroidered, and the fronts are tied with satin ribbon strings in large bows with long ends. French Chips and Milan straws, trimmed with long drooping plumes and Spanish lace, are much favored by both ladies and girls. They are lined with Spanish lace or satin, and frequently a large bow of white or tinted ribbon is placed upon the left side of the hat, allowing the ribbon to extend over the brim, ending in long loops and streamers. Sometimes the hats are trimmed entirely of lace, nnd again only ribbon is used, while quite os often, ribbon, lace and flowers arc combined in the garniture of one hat. The latter, however, is considered bad taste by some. The flowers used the present -*eo?>n, are, to say the least, very attractive. Those used mostly for dark hats, are rather gaudy, while some used on light-colored ones are quite dainty and modiste; conse quently, almost any lady can suit her taste in the selection of colors, and be fashiona ble. Small bonnets for (fill dress are cov ered almost completely with either lace or flowers, and sometimes both. Tiie puffed bindings of satin or velvet are found to be so becoming that they are used on small bonnets and large hats alike. A single large bow on one side of the crown is more stylish for large hats than a twisted scarf surrounding the crown. It is preferred to leave part of the crown behind quite bare of all trimming, not even long feathers being permitted to meet in the back. Athalia Jaidii. To bleach cloth, put into eight quarts of warm water one pound of chloride of lime. Stir with a stick a few minutes; then strain through a bag of course muslin, working it with the hands to dissolve thoroughly. Add to this five bucketfuls of worm water, stir it well and put in the muslin. Let it re main in one hour, turning it occasionally, that every part may get thoroughly bleached. When taken out wash well in two waters, to remove the lime, rinse and dry. This quan tity will bleach twenty-five yards of yard wide muslin. The inuslin will bleach more evenly and quickly if it lias been thorough ly wet and dried before bleaching. Select a place where the soil is light and sandy, or if the ground is all stiff, spade in some sand or coal-dust to make it light and open, and place the frame over it. If cut tings of geraniums, cupheas, verbenas, or other such plants are placed in the soil and covered witli the frame they will soon take root and form nice specimens, which, when they begin to grow, may be potted and be ready for winter. If the frame is where it will he shaded at mid-day, all the better; f not, tilt it a little when the sun is very hot, to give ventilation and prevent over heating.—American Agriculturist. uKcnm Spiced Grapes.—Five pounds grapes, four pounds sugar, one pint vinegar, one table spoonful cinnamon, and one tablespoonful cloves. Pulp the grapes and bring the pulps to a brisk boil so that the pulp will burst. Run through a cullander. Then add the skins and other ingredients and cook two hours. B. Oat-meai, Pie Crust.—Scald two. parts of fine oatmeal with one part of hot water; mix well and roll thin. As this bakes very quickly, fruit which require much cooking, must be cooked first before making the pics. This crust is very tender, and possesses all the desirable qualities of shortened pie crusts without their injurious effects. French Custard.—Take one quartof milk flavor it with the peel of about half a small lemon, pared very thin, and sweetened to taste with white sugar. Boil it, nnd leave it to get quite cold. Then blend it witli three desert spoonsful of fine flour, and two eggs well beaten. Simmer it until it is of the proper thickness, stirring it the whole time. Pour into cups, or a custard dish. Baked eggs are a delicious novelty Sprinkle a layer of bread-crumbs on either a tin or an earthen pie plate. Break the eggs carefully over this foundation, not breaking the yelk of any. Scatter a few bits of butter over the whole and a little pepper and salt. If the oven is hot the eggs will be “set” and cooked in about four min utes. The gas stove, with its heat over the pan or broiler, turns out baked eggs beauti fully. Bath Buns.—Rub one pound of fine flour and a half pound of butter together with the hand; heat up six eggs and add to the flour, also a teacupful of good yeast. Mix all well together with a half a cupful of milk. Let the mixture remain for an hour in a warm place, and mix in six ounces of sifted sugar and a very few carraway seeds, Mould into buns on a baking plate, with teaspoon, throw upon each six or eight large carruway comfits, and hake in a hot oven about ten minutes. The quantities given should make eighteen biyis. French Honey.—Break one pound of lump sugar to pieces; put into a pan, add the yolks of six eggs, and the white of four, the juice of four lemons (and grate in the rinds of two), and a quarter of a pound of butter. Stir the ingredients well over a slow fire, until the mixture becomes as thick as honey. It will keep a year if put into jars and tied down with paper and kept in a cool, dry place. It is most excellent to fill tarts witli, or to spread between layers of cake. HULL VAPOR COOK STOVE. BUFFALO LITHIA SPRINGS, MECKLENBURG COUNTY, VA. In Oout, Rheumatism, Gravel.

Moths may be kept out of furs and wool en goods by wrapping them in calico; as motbs cannot eat through calico. Leghorn hats or bonnets may be cleaned by washing with lime-juice, a little gum be ing applied afterwards. Lemons can be kept fresh for weeks by covering them with buttermilk, changing the milk once a week. Never fold a gossamer waterproof inside out. It is the inside which should be kept free from all soil. Prepare Now for Winter Flowers. Those who have small green-houses or cul tivated flowers in their windows, have set out their geraniums, and other quick-grow ing plants for the summer. Many make the mistake of taking up these plants in au tumn, after they have grown alt the season in the open ground, and potting them to be replaced in the window or green house. The result will always be “ long-legged,” mis shapen plants, which, instead of blooming satisfactorily during the winter, will take a long time to recover, and never be worth as much as new plants from cuttings. Such plants may be prepared for, this month and next, and with very little trouble. Of course those who have green-houses with ap pliances for propagating need no directions, but many lovers of flowers have to content themselves with such plants as may be grown in the windows of the living rooms. These become attached to their plants, and when one is set out in the bed they expect it back again. When a plant goes out, consider it thrown away, for it may bs well be, and set about replacing it. The following methot] will give a few plants with little trouble. Take a common Btore box, such as a starch or soap-box, knock off both cover and bottom, and if need be strengthen it with exta nails. Tack over this a piece of cotton cloth and the Irame will be ready. DALLASJFHEAT. Atlanta, Ga., July 25, 1882. After thoroughly tenting this variety, usually known an the "Bill Dallas Bust Proof Wheat," we unhesitatingly pronounce It the surest cropper yet originated, having lost only one crop In ten years, and that from the fly or some insect, not rust. We have never known it to rust. It is classed by millers as a white wheat yielding lirst-cluss flour. It appears to be a hybrid—a smooth-headed wheat with utmost Invariably some bearded heads cropping out amongst It. The crop Just harvested shows the largest yield of any variety In this section, the yields so far re ported being from 21 % to 30 bushels per acre.
