to and scrape it all over as though :
scraping a potato, but do it with

bringing away any of the inside
of the tomato.
If you are going picknicklng on
a warm day you will find it better
to carry bread, butter and filling
for sandwiches separately and to
put them together after you arrive

this while others spread the table
and build fire for coffee.

Here Are Some Helpful Reminders

fruit and salads.
Remember that most people de-
velop good outdoor appetites-on
a picnic and would rather have
something substantial and filling
than a lot of frothy delicacies.
You will not be content with a
couple of jelly sandwiches. a patty
‘cake and a macaroon and two
peaches. A beefsteak is often
very acceptable. If you carry an
old-fashioned broiler, this can be
broiled to a turn on a camp fire.
Some sliced bacon with a frying
pan gives a godd addition to any
picnic. Cold roast chickens are a
good picnic selection. If you can
manage to build a good fire and
are going to have enough time.
roasted potatoes are excellent.
These substantial things leave one
feeling better than a collection of
inconsiderable dainties.
Most people think of deviled
eggs as a picnic indespensible.
Did it ever occur to you to take a
carton of raw eggs with you. and
boil them over the camp fire? If
you have a frying pan. scrambled
eggs may be mods easily and since
scrambled eggs have become a
favorite ‘order for late suppers,
why should they not be served at
picnics?
A DELICIOUS DRINK

a tumbler about two tablespoons of
broken ice. two tablespoons of
chocolate syrup. three tablespoons

practically replaced by those of
gray or beige tones in the ward-
robes of smart women.
For occasions colored or white
'stockinga are worn and many of
‘them are embellished with bril-
liant clocks. beads and painted de~
signs. but for street and general
wear the gray or beige stocking
seems to hold an undisputed place.
With a frock of brown or beige or
any brownish shade you would
select one of the beige shades. but
with navy blue or black your
selection would doubtless depend
on the shade of your hat and ac-
cessories. With shades of gray of
course one of the gray tones
should be your choice in stockings.
There are numerous grays and
numerous beiges—-and probably
no one not in the stocking busi-
ness has a distinct idea of the dif-
ference in all these shades. Most
of us simply pick out the shade
we wish and let the name take
care of itself. There are two new
dark grays known as smoke and
slate that you may be able to rec-
ognize. Gunmetal is a well estab—
lished favorite. Fawn, cinnamon
and nude are tones that ought not
to be dimcuit to spot, but often
seem to be. A customer asks for
fawn color and takes cinnamon.
while another who asks for cinna-
mon may really want fawn.
Never were riding habits so in-

Some of the new riding coats show

There are always some women
who derive satisfaction from
adopting the extremes of fashion.
but care very little about drifting
with the crowd as far as clothes
are concerned. They wish above
all things to be distinctive.
Walking sticks are among the
new amssories that delight the
women who like extremes, and an
increasing number of smart
women are carrying them.

business principles to the
running of a home. and women
might oftener suggest, the advan-
tage that would be gained by ap-
plying some of the practices of
the home to the business man's

The other day a woman bred
and matured in the home had an
opportunity to show that there
was room for her housewifery in
the midst of an ofllce. She had
been thrown suddenly on her own
devices for earning a living. A
compassionate male relative told
her to call at his office and he
would outline a course of study
whereby she might become useful
to him in his office. She called,
and for the first time gave the
regime of the once more than a

for this relative for a little time

The whole trick lies in having
always the things needed for so
of these delicious and refres

plentiful. Have a few bottles
charged water always chiil'e’d. for
this is used in many fruit'f'drinkn.
Then have some sort of syrup made

Here are recipes for some cold
drinks for summer. and recin also
for some hot ones. There are chill.
damp days of summer when hot
chocolate is better than iced tea.
And there are other times when
one's appetite makes the thought of
iced chocolate more tempting thnn
that of lemonade. In the following
recipes all these times are consid-
ered.
Much waste of ice can be avoided
if an ice shaver is used. This doe.

use sugar with a. sparing hand. A’

are a few ways so make use of it:‘

carefully removed. Place a few of
the dice in a cup with a little pow-

parts of orange Juice. lemon Juice
and sherry. Sprinkle with chopped
mint and serve cold.
Orange syrup that is very nice to
have on hand for cold drinks or

add an equal quantity of sugar, the
