Jumper fashions cling very much i,j knitted silk effects, and, where materials ai*e used, to the mixing of fabrics, numbers of beautiful little

jumpers being made ot plain and printed silk, cleverly allied to show off both materials to the best ad- ■■ aniage. This is a. fashioned followed in the jumper illust-'rDod, which might be copied ia pliii: and printed marocain.—the larger the design of the printed fabric the handsomer tho effect! In length, the jumper is particularly becoming, and a charming

touch is given by the slashing of the fro.it from the waist, downwards, in two parts. The waist, itself is marked by a ihi e< quart or sash of sat in ribbon, . nished with two satin ro.es. There is a grace and dignity about jumper that will appeal to the woman who appreciates distinction tn dress—the long sleeves add greatly to the dignity of the design—and | likes to wear out-of-tlie-conimon clothes. There is no doubt that large patterns in broches and printed materials are very much handsomer, and t more effective, than the smaller ones, and the vogue in large patterned stuffs will probably be intensified and bo largely -connected with cloth materials for thy making of “odd” jackets. COATFJtOCIv WITH PIN TI CKS. Tlie wardrobe of every woman must have its coat-frock—one of

those delightful garments that can be t< worn indoors or out of doors, though n destined chiefly, of course, for Out- t; door wear, °

In summer-time many people feel the need of a change of diet, and would be ail the better for replacing the morning hot cup ol tea by a glass of cold milk or water. Doctors tell us that, as a rule, we do not drink enough cold water. The system needs a sutliciency of pure cold water, unadulterated by tea or coffee. la hot '•';*• i her diet m an import an; factor in helping to kcjp ore cool, tfugi'.i. .vli'ch is heating, slioull be partaken of sparing.y. and large draughts of fluid should be avoided in tin- attempt to quench ihir.-r. Jce-d water or soda-rt nd-m ilk, sipped slowly, will be found excellent for quenching thirst without iullnting i !».-■ body. Home-made weak lemonade i-.(1.-30 good for i.lie purpose. StA-WAIER ASH Till-; ilAlli. After sea-water bathing iho hair is apt io Ijo sticky and harsh ami diilicu.! to dress, and requires very careful and thorough brushing two ! or three times a day to keep It in fair condition. During the holiday season, while sea-bathing goes ou frequently, it is not worth while beginning a ••bjeauty” treatment for the hair, but when the holiday is over something special in the way ol: a treatment should be given,! o get the hair back into its old form again and make up for tho influence of thy in It- water baths. li i lie- hair is usually very dry and '•fisp and those Condition:; have be-.;o-m* intensified during the holiday something in the way of an oil, an [died very charily and well rubbiM into the scalp is generally advisable. .V good ointment for dry, dark: hair made by melting a tablespoonful o. lard and adding n teaspoon fill of dry sulphur. Hub a Tittle of the ointment well into the scaip with tin- tip-: of the fingers, then comb the ham with a fine tooth-comb, and the ha:: wiil soon become more manageable and all dandruff scales will be nmoved. Washing the hair with warm water and a mild soap after the pro ;ess will remove nil grease effects. Moreover, the lard will help 'be hair lo grow and the sulphur will lead b.< •hock loss of colour. The use of sulphur is not advis able where fail* hair is concerned, instead, a little lemon-juice should b ulded io the rinse-water. Very often after a holiday on l.hcsands a great deal oi' irritation is lelt in the head, and it is sometimes Uncovered that this irritation is duo <i nit- in’the hair, a fact that causes uueh distress to flic sufferer, who Teed not be alarmed, however, for , hdi to .*'( local hairdresser and a ! .il;a IT i pOO With .1 Special lotion Will 1 (uickly rid her of iho trouble.

RECIPE OF .MRS. HENRY FORD. ! TJu.i wile ol Henry Foul, tlie Ro.i- ; oils motor manufacturer and millionaire, is a lady of personalis y and distinct opinions. “She is esseißially lions.-wi!V.” says someone who met her, "and sir.: beiieves ihstr. woman v.essenl into tieworld with the express purpose of making a. man comfort able, and thereby causing him to be a home loving animal!” 1 Many women who have envied the American woman’s exalted place in \ meric an man’s scheme of things will murwl til Mrs. Ford’s domestic sentiments. Sim also maintains lliar. "motherhood is the best career tor a girl to be planned for in her education.” Mrs. Ford is not only •» preacher. She acts on her beliels, and is a good housewife, but she does not believe in giving her husband an enticing pie which, aliliough lie may like it. may not agree with him. Shelias concocted a specially wholesome recipe, from which her apple pies are always prepared. She has studied domestic science, and says; ‘lt - •; scientific, healthful way to make pie. 1 call it biril’s-iiest pie, and vie tell ( liow to make. it. You fill a deep pan wirb the sliced apples, sprinkle them with nulmeg or anything else you pro Cm cover the dish with a sour-cream batter, and pm it in the oven to bnke. When it is done (urn if inio a dish' fj the wonderful browned batter is on: fc« i,he bottom. nml the apples, cook.dr-. . b perfection, heaped on top. H’s p lie ious; and it looks just like a -bird’*: / g nest.” t & People who cannot oven afford the luxury of a Ford car might derive a little satisfaction from biting into the diet that kept Henry Ford's digestion in order while lie was amassing his millions.
