EARLY MORNING WEAR
ONE OF THE DAINTIEST OF THE
POPULAR MATINEES.
Pale Pink Crepe de Chine, With Nar
row Banda of White Fur and Small
Roses Make Up Most Attrac
tive Garment.
What could be more desirable and
dainty for a young woman than the
little matinee of the sketch? The
matinee and the petticoat which ac
companies It, are of pale pink crepe
de chine and both are trimmed with
narrow bands of white fur and small
pink and blue roses.
The Jacket is trimmed with puffings
between the narrow fur bands at
bodice front, waistline and bottom of
sleeves. Frills of the material
trimmed with fine net and an edge of
real Valenciennes trim the bodice
eleeves and bottom of the garment.
The petticoat is trimmed at the bot
tom with alternating bands of lace
and material headed by bands of fur.
The fur, also, outlines the Blit at the

left side of th* skirt. Small roses of
chiffon nestle at Intervals in the
bands of fur. A cluster of the roses
Is placed at the closing of the skirt
at the top of the silt.
The sketch also shows a dainty lit
tle lace and net cap, which consorts
charmingly with the matinee and
skirt. There are trimmings of narrow
bands of fur and pink roses. Pink
■silk stockings should accompany such
in outfit for bedroom wear and pink
silk, or satin, mules. The picture on
the page shows mules of pink satin
•embroidered in silver.
v Marabout is the trimming much in
vo & ’'e for negligee garments, and most
attractive little negligee of mallne, of
silk, or crepe, or brocade, are trimmed
with narrow bands of pink or blue
marabout. A garment of this type
was made of white brocade, and cut
exactly on the same lines of the little
costume jacket, so conspicuous last
summer. The matinee was made with
the kimono sleeve and cut away at
Uhe front, slanting toward the back,
t^udling iu a rounded point at the back.
The edges were trimmed with white
marabout.

Careful Manicuring.
When the nails have grown suffl
cently long to be filed it is necessary
ttfiit. they be treated carefully and
gently for quite some time, in order
that the tender cuticle and nails are
not broken during the work. A small,
thin, flexible file should be used in
tiling, and I would advise a girl who is
trying to rejuvenate her fingers to
use only home made preparations on
them.
If the finger nails will break in spite
of all that Is being done for them,
they should then be anointed thickly
at night with the following paste:
One-quarter of an ounce of pistache
■oil, eight grains of fine table salt,
eight and a quarter grains each, of
powdered resin and alum and 20
grains of white wax; melt the wax
•over a water bath, then stir in the oil,
remove from the bath and beat in the
powders, which should have been pre
viously sifted together.
TAKE UP ENGLISH CUSTOM
Serving of Afternoon Tea Has Become
General With American Hostesses
—Repast Made Simple.
The custom of serving tea has be
come almost as general with Ameri
cans nowadays as with their Englisa
relatives. The difference in large
cities especially is that tea hour is
frequently spent at fashionable tea
rooms or hotel restaurants. The vari
ous occupations or pastimes which at
tract women to the shopping districts
or the theaters in the same neighbor
hood incline women to "drop in" for
light refreshment near where they
chance to be. At the large hotels there
is likely to be a table set with tempt
ing confections, spun sugar baskets
and flowers that delight the eye, while
the pastries are displayed.
In the home the matter of serving
tea for the family group or the casual
caller is a simple hospitality easy to
adopt. With a tea kettle and an alco
hol lamp the beverage may be brewed
in a few moments. Lemon, sliced, and
loaf sugar are the general accompani
ments, and only wafers that may be
bought need be added. It is considered
better form nowadays not to serve
hearty or "mussy" dainties tor callers
wearing gloves.
The daintiness of appointments is
essential. A large mahogany or wicker
tray, in Heu of a silver one, holds the
service, which is brought Into the room
at the time of serving. Small stands
with two or three shelves tor holding
as many plates of crackers or bonbons
are a convenience for serving. It is
also good form to use small linen or
damask napkins smaller than are used
for luncheon or breakfast. These may
be hemstitched or scalloped and are In
the best style when ornamented with a
small embroidered initial.
PAY ATTENTION TO THE HAIR
If Neglected, It Will Take Many
Months to Restore It to Proper
Degree of Beauty.
A great many men, and not a few
women, neglect their hair shamefully
until a diseased condition, such as
dandruff, falling hair or an excess of
oil, calls their attention to the fact
that the scalp is in urgent need of
care. Then, after a week or two of
scalp massage or the rubbing in of a
prescribed tonic, they expect the hair
which has been neglected for years
to regain all its original glory.
This, of course, cannot be done.
The damage done by years of neglect
cannot, be wiped out in a few weeks’
time. It will probably be at least a
few months before permanent im
provement can take place. The thing
to do Is to take care of your hair
before it is too late. Start now.
Brush the hair thoroughly each
night, to remove the dust acquired
during the day, and after that take
another brush and stroke it briskly
from the crown of the head to the end
of the strand, to start the circulation.
At least a hundred Strokes should be
given each night. This will give the
hair a gloss and nothing else.
Massage is excellent for starting the
circulation. Purchase some reliable
tonic, rub this into the scalp, not the
hair, always rubbing with a circular
motion from the edge of the scalp to
the center of the head. After the en
tire scalp has been gone over place
the elbows on a table, with the fingers
on the scalp Just over the ears. Rub
deeply in a circular motion toward
the crown of the head. Continue this
movement all over the head.
All this will take only about a halt
hour's time, and it Is time well spent
for one who cares for her beauty.
TRIMMING OF RIBBON LOOPS
Effective When Worn by the Young,
But to Be Avoided by the
Middle-Aged.
The modish if somewhat bizarre
trimming of elongated ribbon loops.
one instance of
which appears
here. Is considered
bj’ many to be a
style which be
longs pre-emi
nently to youth
and should not be
attempted by the
woman who has
left it behind her.
The smart hat
above has a brim
of fine black
hemp rolling quite
close to the crown,
w'hich is hidden
beneath shirred
gray and white
shaded ribbon gathered to the apex
of the tall crown, where It is appar
ently continued in the form of two
stiffly wired ears. A narrow wreath
of tiny pink flowers and fine foliage
encircles the base of the crown.
The very newest style in ornaments
for evening slippers is a single strap
made of a fold of satin across the in
step and fastened on the outer side un
der a diamond crescent. This looks
especially well worn with black satin
I slippers.

FINE APPLE PUDDING
DESSERT ALWAYS A FAVORITE
IN ENGLISH HOUSEHOLDS.
Good Alike for the Children and Their
Elders— Mock Apple Dumplings
an Easily Prepared Delicacy—
Custard of Apple Snow.
Boiled apple pudding as the English
people make it is both nourishing and
Inexpensive when apples are at all
plentiful. In fact, It Is claimed the
pudding furnishes a perfect midday
meal for children not yet old enough
to be given meat, while it is certainly
a substantial dessert for everybody.
You chop four ounces of good beef
suet very fine and rub it into one
pound of flour, with a teaspoonful of
baking powder and one-quarter tea
spoonful of salt Then you wet it up
with cold water into a dough, rolling
out on a well-floured board.
With this you line a buttered pud
ding basin, reserving enough to cover
the top, and proceed to fill with ap
ples, peeled, cored and cut into small
pieces, adding sugar to sweeten, also
a few cloves or a dust of cinnamon
as liked. When the bowl is quite full
cover with warm water and cover se
curely with the paste. Dip a cloth
Into boiling water, sprinkle with flour,
and tie over the pudding. Take the
cord well down the bowl, bring the
four corners of the cloth together at
the top. tie firmly and plunge Into
plenty of boiling water and cook for
from two to two and one-half hours,
according to the apples used. Some
take longer to cook than others. Juicy
apples cook quickly. Hard, dry ap
ples take longer. Serve with any
simple sauce, or, when serving for
children, pour over a little milk.
Mock Apple Dumplings.—This is a
nice dessert and one easily prepared.
You fill a deep buttered dish with
tart, juicy apples, peeled and cored,
filling the space with brown sugar.
Then you pour over a cupful of hot
water, sweetened, and a sprinkling of
cinnamon or any preferred spices.
The dish is put into a slow oven or at
the back of the stove, where the ap
ples will soften. Make a biscuit crust,
using a cup of flour, one teaspoonful
of baking powder, a tablespoonful of
shortening, a little fait an^ a tea
spoonful of sugar. Mix with milk to
a very soft dough.
Pour over the softened apples and
bake until a light brown. Another
way Is to prepare the apples as di
rected, cover them and bake in the
over until cooked through, then to
pour over them a custard made from
one cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls
of sugar and the yolk of an egg This
is baked for a few minutes and is
then finished off with a meringue
made from the white of the egg and
powdered sugar.
This is more delicate than the
dumplings, of course, and another
dainty dish made from apples is:
Apple Snow.—You make a simple
custard as before directed and pour It
into a shallow glass dish. Then you
grate sour apples, say a cupful, and
beat into it the white of an egg and
powdered sugar to sweeten. This
mixture Is laid in spoonfuls upon the
custard and dotted with whipped
cream dusted with nutmeg.
Hose In Sink.
It the dishes are washed in the sink
attach pieces of white rubber hose to
the faucets, of convenient lengths, to
carry the water over all the dishes.
This will be found to be very conve
nient, and also save dishes that might
otherwise be broken by striking
against the faucets.
Best Way to Clean Carpet
There is nothing better than news
papers, wrung out of water and torn
in bits, for cleaning a dusty carpet;
scatter over the floor before sweeping.
They will gather more dust than you
would Imagine was there.
Orange and Grape Salad.
Pare large oranges and cut in thick
slices crosswise. Allow one slice to
each person. Cut the remaining pulp
into bits, allow an equal amount of
halved and seeded Malaga grapes and
one-quarter as much diced celery, and
marinate both separately in a French
dressing made of one-quarter cupful
olive oil, one tablespoonful lemon
juice, one tablespoonful melted tart
jelly and a dash of salt. Set a slice
of orange on each plate, pile the salad
mixture on to it and garnish with bits
of parsley.
Oyster Stuffing for Turkey.
Make a mixture of a large cup of
dry breadcrumbs seasoned with pars
ley, thyme, and sweet marjoram,
moistened with melted butter. To
this add twenty small oysters chop
ped fine. Stuff the breast of the tur
key with this.
To Keep Cranberries Fresh.
To keep cranberries, put them In
glass jars, fill the latter to overflowing
with cold water, and screw the tops
on tightly. In this way the cranber
ries will remain fresh all winter.

LESSON FOR CECIL RHODES

Bully Clerk.
Cecil Rhodes’ masterfulness and
sense of importance met with little op
position as a rule, but a little German
clerk in the Transvaal government of
fices at Johannesburg before the war
once taught him a lesson.
"Please attend to me at once,” thun
dered the Colossus, "I can’t wait."
“When your turn comes, mister.” re
plied the clerk.
“Confound you, man! Don't you
know who I am?" asked Rhodes.
"Oh, yes, I know you; but don’t wor
ry about me," was the clerk's unruf
fled reply.
"If you were In Cape Town I'd have
you discharged at once!” roared the
great man.
"Yes.” said the clerk, very coolly,
“I’ve heard they discharge people in
Cape Town for doing their duty. But
this Isn’t Cape Town—thia is a repub
