CLIPPINGS
Did.you ever think of the pleasure
you can get out of a lot of clippings,
or the pleasure you can give to others?
It Is not necessary for you to be an
artist, but you must be neat In cutting
out the pictures. The clippings may
be used to advantage on post cards. In
letters, on Individual cards, tally cards,
place cards and the like. A young
womaii who but recently sprained her
ankle was the recipient of a post card
bearing the picture of a young mlss
sitting In a Morris chair. The Ingeni
ous artist made a huge cover on one
foot and Inscribed below, "One foot In
the grave and the other crying out,
•How long, bow long?' " One can cut
comic pictures from the papers- and Il
lustrate letters. It was a girl who
Invited a friend to her muslcale and
headed her letter with a row of alley
cats on the back yard fence. Below
was the line: "Come over to our houso;
we are going to have a John Thomas
concert Friday night." A girl who
knew she would not give offense sent
a card to her sweetheart in Columbus.
He had wired her that he had been In
a Arc, that his hands had been burned
and that he wanted a letter, Back
went- a post card bearing the picture of
a man, both of whose hands wero
wrapped, and under which was the
Inscription, "I always had lovers to
burn." A letter of real girlish sym
pathy followed. Get the various pa
pers that chronicle your friend's mar
riage, make a booklet and illustrate It
with funny pictures. Never be Im
pertinent In your clipping sallies, but
try to use a little witticism In them.
You will find thai they can be made to
convey what perhaps you do not feel
like taking the time to write.
BEAUTY HINTS
In order to cleanse the face properly
certain points should he observed. The
hair should he covered by a cap or
towel. Then the face and neck should
be covered with a thick lather, using
a ball of sterilized cotton, pure soap
and warm water. After the scrubbing
and cleaning a small towel Is dipped
into fresh hot water and laid in such ,
a manner over the face and neck that i
the nostrils only are exposed; the towel j
is gently pressed upon the parts and
allowed to remain while another Is
being prepared; this process Is kept up, i
the water being used hotter until It Is *
almost steaming. When the skin look.,
like red flannel a small quantity of
cold cream is quickly worked Into It
with the tips of the fingers In rotary j
movements, the open pores fairly
drinking It In. Only a small amount
Is needed, and none Is left on the sur- !
face. A cool towel is now laid over!
the skin in exactly the same manner as
the hot ones were placed; Ice Is grad
ually added to the basin of cold water i
(freshly drawn), each application Is
colder and colder, until the last Is i
frigid.
This process kiot only cleanses but
nourishes the tissues, and a dash of
toilet water gives a finishing touch.
No amonut of facial massage will
Improve the skin If the health is poor
and the nervous system "unstrung;"
Indeed, nothing so ages a woman as
nervousness, worry and fretttlng.
Given a tranquil mind, a fair amount j
of health, a dally bath, no woman I
need worry about her complexion if ]
the treatment given above Is Indulged
ln three times a week, preferably upon j
retiring, and pursued In a modified
form on alternate nights. Use soap
and water generously.
The water may be softened with bo
rax, almond meal or a bag of bran or
oatmeal. A face 'cloth should never be ;
used, as it Is unsanitary, the finger j
tips' affording the best and most hy
gienic method of cleansing tia? skin.

COURT AGREEDWITH MRS.KELLY
Judge Kelly of the district court of
Ramsey county, Minnesota, recently
celebrated his golden wedding anniver
sary, and on the evening preceding he
was tendered a banquet by the Ram
sey County Bar association, which was
I also attenftd by the other members of
the supreme court. Governor Johnson
and higher state officials.
In responding to the toastmaster's
felicitations ho stated that only once
in his married life had his wife ques
tioned one of his decisions, and that
was his recent decision In the "club"
case', In which he held that social clubs
might sell liquors to their members
without a license The Judge related
that, on arriving home, he found his
wife reading the evening paper. She
looked up and said: "William, you are
wrong about that club case." "Now,
perhaps that may not be so," said the
judge. "Why do you think so?" "Be
cause!" said Mrs. Kelly. "And," added
the judge, "on rending the opinion of
the supreme court • reversing- me, 11
found they had Mrs. Kelly's reasoning." j

THE IDEAL HOME
"The Ideal Home"—delightful thought—
Is what I much desire;
Some spot with simple pleasures fraught
To which I may retire.
Whero I may follow every bent.
Where none will say me nay,
Where ail my family consent
' To let me have my way.
A dwelling where the rooms are large,
But where the rent is small.
Where tradesmen never overcharge
Or boring neighbors call;
A house that's cozy In the frost,
But shady in July; ■ t
A home where keys are never lost,
And babies never cry.
A place lien servants always suit
And serve us with delight; . "
A nan full or flowers and fruit
Where the midges never bite;
Where nights are calm and midnight cats
Refrain from repartee.. #
In short, where nothing worries, that's
The Ideal Home fur me.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1909.

How One May Entertain Guests
mHERB are "novelties in entertain-
R ment" at the seashore as well as
-*• in town, says Dame Courtesy, and
this scheme of a New Jersey girl Is
one that "took" wonderfuly. The af
fair was held on the broad piazza sur
rounding tin* house that faced the
grand old ocean.
The Invitations were for a "bottle'
party; each guest was requested to
bring a bottle (empty) any size or
shape. of course everyone wondered
what the result would be when tho
motley collection of bottles appeared
on the table waiting to receive them.
I After a few moments spent in specu
lating tm to the future of "those bot-
I ties," the hostess brought in yard
' lengths of crepe paper of many colors,
cotton, pins, odds anil ends of ribbon,
etc., and requested each guest to select
a bottle and transform it Into a doll;
there was a supply of corks to^use in
! forming heads, which were covered
with cotton.
A half-hour was allowed to finish
i these creations; prises were awarded
lor tin* best, worst, and funniest.
Next the hostess passed cards with
pencils attached, numbered from one to
twenty; the guests were taken into
li room in which stood twenty bottles,
each bearing a tag numbered from one
to twenty. Yellow piper concealed
the contents of the bo.._ei, which were
pill size up to gallons. One "sniff" or
j "whiff" was permitted, then the sup
; posed content! were written down op
' posite the number on the card,
Lavender salts, bottles of cologne,
and sachet! were given as prizes.
The next test was very pretty. Bach
j guest was blindfolded and led around
the room in which flowers were ar-
I ranged In vases on mantel and tables.
The one who recognized the most flow
ers by the odor received a handsome
nosegay surrounded by a frill of lace
paper.
The refreshments consisted of flower
form! made In Ices and creams with
dainty little cakes ornamented with
| candied rose and violet leaves.
i
For a Children's Party
There have been so many requests
for a children'! party that 1 have made
'. a special effort to get these pretty
; ideas for decorations, feeling sure that
i mothers could adopt for their own use
] the schemes suggested.
f'lown"akes will be much appre
ciated by youthful guests; bake a sim
-1 pie cake mixture in small round muffin
pans. Frost some with white, some
! with chocolate, making eyes, nose and
i mouth of contrasting color. Around
, each put tiny frills of colored crepe
I paper and the cakes will look like funny
faces beneath little bonnets.
With these serve circus lemonade.
Take large, smooth skinned lemons,
cut off .one end, hollow out and place
in Ice water. Cut of black courtplaster
I eyes, nose and mouth, dry the shells
Have Pretty Hands and Feet
THERE Is no reason why a woman
should not have nice finger nails,
even if the hands show effects of
| work and constant use of them in vari
i ous ways. __ '
Comparatively little attention and
I care keeps the nails smooth and hard
enough to entirely prevent the brittle
ness that causes them to break and
look ragged.
It may not be generally known that
the general condition of the health has
a great deal to do with the appearance
of the nails; grooves mean a gouty
tendency in the blood; spots show a
rundown condition of the whole sys
! tern, and thin, white nails mean anemia.
Plenty of Oily Creams Needed
The nails respond quickly to treat
! ment of oily creams; the cuticle should
be filled %nd the cream rubbed ln at
j least once'every day, and twice is bet
ter. For this olive oil is one of the
best applications, but any good cold
cream that has sweet almond oil or
dine in it will do good also.
Cutting the nails should be avoided
i If possible, but where they have been
neglected and are broken, with dis
agreeable points of ragged skin all
around, the scissors will have to be
used, and they should be of the best,
| with curved points. A good pair costs
over a dollar, but will last a long while
with care, and they should never be
used for anything but the nails.
Filing cannot be done directly after
the nails are softened: they will surely
| break, ho it Is best to do this first.
But ft regular manicuring is only needed
once a week, with ten minutes' atten
tion each day, to keep the nails in first
class order.
Where they are very brittle a special
paste shouW be applied to the nails
every night. Make this of eight grains
each powdered resin, powdered alum
and table salt,' mlxeif with a quarter
ounce pistacho oil: add twenty grains
white wax and a tiny speck of carmine
for the tinting. The wax is melted as
for preparing cold cream, and the oil
stirred In: then the powders are mixed.
What to Take on a Week's Visit
IT is more difficult to plan for a
short visit than a long one, and
the young girl who goes away for
a single week w*lll have to vary her
luggage and her wardrobe according to
the household in which she expects to
visit. If she anticipates elaborate en
tertainment in a home where luxury Is
evident at every turn she will take
with her a full sized trunk and gowns,
hats and accessories for various occa
sions, omitting none that she might
require for occasions varying from th,-.
canoeing trip to the evening dances. On
the other hand, if the short visit bo
with Informal friends who take their
ease in a simple suburban home or a
mountain camp, the surroundings will
readily determine what should be
packed within the smaller limits of the
steamer trunk or even the suitcase.
Each person knows her own needs In
the matter of hats, gloves, shoes and
underwear, some of which will depend
CREAM BARLEY SOUP IS GOOD
Those who dislike meat will find this
a good substitute for a meat soup. In
gredients are one quart of milk, two
ounces of bitter, one gill of cream, two
ounces of pearl barley, two onions, one
carrot or three turnips and one or two
bay leaves. Cut the vegetables in dice
and then drop them in boiling water
and cook until tender. Add the milk,
bay leaves, salt and a pinch of red pep
per (this is much better than other pep
pers for a delicate digestion), and sprin
kle In the barley so that It will not look
lumpy. Cook lor four hours In a double
boiler, taking care to remove all scum
that rises, pass through a flne sieve, re
turn to tho saucepan, add the cream
and simmer for a few minutes. Serve
in broth CUpS with strips of fresh, hard
toast. .
and paste these on in as grotesque a
manner as possible. Then make little
dunce caps of red and white stiff paper,
leaving a hole at lie* top to receive a
straw; fill tin* cups with lemonade, put
on the caps, stick in the straws ami
they are ready to serve.
For a centerpiece have a tiny tent,
with miniature animals in a proces
sion, At each child's plate have a wee
tent of paper, a flag on it, with a rail
fence of opera sticks around it. Under
each tent have Baited peanuts,
Have striped paper bags filled with
popcorn and the small guests will be
perfectly delighted with the "circus"
party.
A Hosiery Shower
A bride-to-be was recently honored
bf a luncheon and "hosiery" shower.
Covers were laid for ten; the hostess
seated the honored guest opposite her
at the foot of the long table; the chair
was decorated with a large bow of
white tulle; the centerpiece was bride
roses in a low cut glass bowl, over
which a dear little Cupid was suspend
ed. Across the room there was a nar
row white satin ribbon In lieu of a
clothesline, from which hung ten pairs
of silk hole, fastened on With gilded
clothespins. They were arrange.) just
to hang over the space occupied by the
long table. From the toe of each pair
the donor's card was attached by rib
bon, and on each card a sentiment or
Jingle was written.
A Poliito Supper
Church suppers have been and prob
ably always will be a commercial as
set In raising money. A "ladies' aid"
society issued these catchy invitations,
: which were printed In red on common
brown wrapping paper and scattered
broadcast in the hotels and boarding
houses of the seashore resort, where
summer visitors helped out largely In
furnishing the wherewithal to run the
little church during the long nine
months of winter. I give the invita
tion so that our readers may cut it out
for future use, as the scheme is adapt
able for any time or place.

How to Manicure Nails Properly
First,. a' woman must allow half an
hour for the process; she must be pa
tient while the nails are soaking, and
not try to. hurry the gradual pushing
back of the cuticle at the base. It Is
here so many make the mistake of
using force; the skin should be so well
softened that lt will yield readily to
I the light pressure with the rounded
point of an orange wood stick. ,
A basin of warm suds made with
castile soap Is ready; the fingers of
one hand are Immersed and kept in
this for five minutes: then dried and
the stick at once used in pushing back
the cuticle at the base of the nails.
The point of the stick should be dipped
into the water while doing this; then
the blunt cuticle knife is lightly passed
around the same way, to remove any
stray particles of roughened skin, but
rarely Indeed should the scissors be
used on this skin.
After one hand is finished, do the
other the same way: rub a bit of cold
cream over each nail as it Is finished.
All powders that give a gloss to the
nails are drying, so they should be
used sparingly. A very good tinting
paste is made by melting a dram of
fresh lard over hot water and stirring
Into It half a dram powdered carmine,
six drops essence neroll and twelve of
essence of bergamot. Apply this to
the nails after they are finished with
the soaking and stick, etc., and rub it
in with the buffer: then soap the
hands and use a nail brush vigorously;
a brush that Is not hard should always
be selected; rinse well ar. 1*! dry.
Nothing is so good for tin 1 final pol
ishing process as to use the palm of
one hand on the nails of the other; a
dust of powder may be used, but not
oftener than twice a week; it will pre
vent the nails growing straight and
smooth, as it makes them brittle.
Every time the hands are cleansed the
nails should bo polished with the palm.
Where stained, a very little peroxide
may take off the spot, but cold cream
should be applied at once, as this is
too drying. If olive oil Is used, warm
and soak the nails five minutes every
night.* letting it remain on.
upon the gowns she decides to take;
but under ordinary circumstances the
coat suit of cloth, linen or pongee,
with Its own hat, in which she travels
will answer for similar needs through
out the short visit. There should bo a.
morning frock of gingham, or even two
suitable for street wear or the prom
ised boating trip or country outing.
One or two afternoon dresses of white
or some delicate novelty material, with
a suitable hat. will be the main stand
bys for the whole week, and it will not
be out of order to pack In carefully
the simple dance frock, without which
the visitor would feel very lost in casa
a party were announced. Visiting In
an ordinary camp requires a somewhat
; different outfit. Here the evening
I gown should be omitted, the gingham
frocks made to serve as afternoon
dresses and a regulation camp garb
slipped i". consisting of a corduroy or
homespun skirt, with one or two
French flannel shirtwaists.
ALCOHOL FOR COOKING
I
The use of denatured alcohol for
cooking is gradually becoming more
common. Alcohol stoves can be ob
tained In a variety of shapes and
styles, and the fuel is clean and easy
to handle. It does no harm if it Is
spilled on the carpel or a dress, and
does not leave the hands grimy or
"smelly." . •
The cost of maintaining the little
heaters Is Ingeniously asserted by one
demonstrator to lie* "less than gas at
a dollar a thousand and a little more
than gas at 80 cents." The cost Is
about .' cents or less per hour for each
burner, but the heat of the alcohol gas
flame Is so Intense that much more
can be accomplished in 6 given time
than by means of any other practic
able household heat.
PERSONAL CHAT
WITH YOUNG COOKS
At this season of the year vege
tables are In prime condition. Toma
toes attain their highest perfection this
month and, If desired for canning, pre
serving or for the making of catsup,
should be purchased now. Later in the
summer they will be more watery.
Irish potatoes are now In prime con
dition, being fully matured and more
digestible and of higher food value
than they were earlier. They cook
very quickly and may be used In .1
number of ways. For those of dell
cate digestion potatoes should be baked
or boiled, put through a potato ricer,
then seasoned and beaten until very
light; to keep the potatoes warm while
preparing them, mash In a hot pan add
have the milk heated. When potatoes
are pared before boiling drain off the
water as soon as they are done, .sprin
i kle lightly with salt and slink'- over the
lire until perfectly dry; the salt aids In
the drying process, All vegetables' re
quire careful cooking, as the flavor is
easily dissipated. With few exceptions
those cooked In water should have only
enough to cover them and should be
cooked uncovered to preserve the color.
Seasoning should be added very care
fully, and where sauce or liquid is re
line.l the quantity must be limited.
String beans, for instance, carefully
cooked and seasoned with a ptec of sail
pork, are quite appetizing, although
very Inexpensive, but when Boating
in liquid are most unpalatable.
Do not serve too many semi-liquid
vegetables at the same time*. For ex
ample, stewed tomatoes and stewed
corn should not be served at the same
time. Serve the corn as corn pudding
or on the cob, or have the tomatoes
sliced. In cooking string beans or
large lima beans a pinch of soda will
be required In water containing lime.
Wilted vegetables are apt to disturb
the digestion and are not palatable;
their purchase is very unwise. 11l
choosing vegetables, aside from the
cost, the food value, their adaptability
to the needs of family and the Other
dishes on the menu for the day must
be considered. For instance, baked po
tatoes and sliced beets are a mure
agreeable combination with roast beef
than with chicken. Cabbage could be
eaten by the outdoor laborer while not
at all adapted to the desk worker. Po
tatoes— account of the starch that
they contain, would be of more value
In the daily ration of one whose food
supply is scanty than "they would In
the menu of those with a liberal diet.
Stewed Tomatoes—Put one pint of
canned tomatoes in a saucepan ami
cook gently for ten minutes, add a
tablespoon of sugar arid two table
spoons of butter rubbed with one of
flour; stir until It boils, then salt to
taste; pour it over three slices of dry
toast broken Into small pieces.
Sliced Tomatoes—Tomatoes for slic
ing should be peeled half an hour be
fore serving time and chilled thorough
ly. To remove the skin cover the to
matoes with boiling water, let stand
for one minute, drain in a colander,
turn cold water over them, then drain
and peel, being careful not to pierce
the flesh. When ready to serve slice
or cut Into fourths; do not put salt j
or vinegar on tomatoes until ready to
serve; salt draws out the water and
spoils the appearance of the dish, be- -
sides toughening the fiber. The toma
to is often spoiled in serving, although |
sliced tomatoes seem a very simple
dish.
Tomatoes with Corn—Pour boiling
water over six large tomatoes, let
stand for one minute, peel, chop into
small pieces and cook gently for thirty
minutes. Husk six ears of corn, remove
silks and trim the tips of ears if nec
essary. Score each row of grains down
the center, scrape out the pulp, add
this to the tomatoes, bring to the boil
ing point and simmer gently for three
minutes. Add one level tablespoon of
butter and one-half tablespoon of salt;
serve immediately.
Tomatoes with Okra—Wash and dry
one quart of okra and slice into thin
rings. Put two tablespoons of butter
In a granite saucepan. When melted
add the okra and cook gently nintll
slightly browned. Then add one pint
of canned tomatoes or tomatoes pre
pared as for tomatoes with corn, sim
mer for thirty minutes, add one tea
spoon of salt and serve hot.
Boiled Okra—Wash the okra careful
ly, drain and cut off the stems. Put
it in an enameled saucepan, cover with
boiling water and boll gently, uncov
ered, until tender. Drain In a hot
colander, set in the oven for a few mo
ments, turn into a warm dish, brush
with pepper and salt and pour over it
a little melted butter; serve at once.
Raked Potatoes—Scrub the potatoes
with a vegetable brush, rinse and lay In
a baking pan; place in the upper shelf
of a moderate oven and bake until soft,
about forty-five minutes will be re
quired; test by pressing with the nail.
When soft wrap in a napkin and press
without breaking the skin until soft;
serve hot In a bowl lined with a
folded napkin.
For Stuffed Potatoes— into as
soon as soft and scoop out the pulp,
press through a ricer into a beet bowl,
season with salt, white pepper, butter
and scalded milk, allowing one tea
spoon of salt, one-quarter teaspoon of
pepper, one tablespoon of butter and
one-quarter cup of milk to two cups
nt" potatoes. Return the pulp to the
shell and brown in a very hot oven.
Boiled Potatoes— the potatoes,
cover with boiling water and boil rap
idly for ten minutes, then lower the
heat and boil gently until soft. Short
ly before they are done add a little.
cold water so as to stop the boiling;
this will keep the outside from break
ing and give the inside* a chance to
soften; drain, sprinkle with salt and
shake over the fire until dry. Serve in
a hot dish with a little melted butter
and pepper if desired, or press through
a ricer and season like baked potatoes.
The creamed potatoes may be pressed
through a pastry tube and used for a
garnish for fish or steak, or it may be
arranged in a pudding dish; brush With
the yolk of an egg beaten with one ta
blespoon of water and cooked in a mod
erate oven until a golden brown.
Potatoes are better if cooked In the
jacket. Remove a narrow strip of
skin about the center of the potato be
fore cooking.
THE NEW YORK GIRL AT CONEY
When poets old their stories told
Of mermaids and the sea,
I granted wise their passion cries
And all their ecstasy.
But toll the bell, for, sad to tell!
in, that it were not so!)
Those mermaids fair, with seaweed hair.
With Pan, died long ago.
And yet the tale would somewhat fall
If here we stopped to weep;
For. in the ken of modern men,
A new queen rule.i the deep.
So fill your glove to every lass
And every wayside pearl.
Ccme, modern men, the toast, say when:
Here's to the seashore girl!
