BRIDGHAM = Home and it's Interests To Protect Hair While Bathing GIRLS who go in swimming should make every effort to keep the hair dry, for nothing Is more in jurious than daily moisture, which rarely entirely dries, as salt has such sticky qualities. As one aid in keeping the tresses from a wetting, a bathing cap must be worn, with a band of oiled silk twisted around the edge, so no water can work under. One girl who wears this arrangement on her head when swimming prepares ' to .inn this headdress by piling her hair on top of her head and pinning . it there securely. The band .she then binds tightly ' around her head so It comes at least I two inches below the edge of the hair at the back and down over the temples. I Being a young person and not above ; trying to look well at all times, she i complacently pins a few short curls : over her forehead under the bandage, i These do not always got wet, and I unless this happens she certainly looks » better than If only her forehead showed I below the band. A thin oiled silk cap, I the clastic of which is very snug, Is 9 pulled on, and over this is tied a gay i. bandana, the pointed ends sticking up £ prettily. This girl looks Jaunty when I ready for bathing, and rarely Is her I hair wet. I have a preference for a towel as a I band, for the reason that the linen or fl cotton absorbs as silk cannot. I Should a towel be employed as a I bandage it at once soaks any moisture » and may be quite wet while the hair lls dry. For this purpose a small towel New York's New Building Code IfA ITIES and towns throughout the I country, through throughout the country, through their officials, I yy. are making interested inquiries 1 about 'the new building code Just | adopted by New York city. The code i has set a new standard of safe construc § tion which it is thought will be adopt ed by many municipalities now en § gaged In revising their old codes. The I effect of this is expected to bo a gen feral Improvement in building and a saving of millions in the losses by fire. I The specifications governing the Standard steel and hollow tile construc tion have been altered so as to make It even stronger and safer than it lias been in the past. However, the most Important feature of the new code is the safeguards it throws around the use of concrete. In New York, as In Bother cities, the authorities have al ' lowed concrete to be used In such a fray that many fatal collapses have oc- SOME DON'TS FOR MEN t Don't' Just be a promissory note or ff she will become tired of meeting you.

Don't think that absence alone makes the hear grow 'fonder. Presents havo Q been known to have the same effect. I Don't fall to give a woman credit for 8 these things she does not possess. I Praise Venus for her cleverness and j Minerva for her beauty. I Don't try to mold a woman according I to your Ideal, but remodel your ideal according to what she ls. Don't be satisfied with the back ground. Always make yourself the center point of a woman's thoughts. Don't forget the little courtesies and thoughtful attentions. They count more i than the big things with a woman. 1 Pon't let a woman know the extent of I her power over you or she may rule in- j " stead of serving. i Don't be too affectionate. The ac ! count at the Hank of Love Is soon over 's drawn if one tries to cash all one I checks at the beginning. Try to live on 4 the Interest rather than the principal. I Don't let a woman see that you are I Jealous of her. It will make her so I proud that she may eventually give 1 you serious reason for lt. I Don't give a woman the satisfaction I of letting her see you lose your temper. I When she quarrels keep cool and enjoy the scene. The effect is marvelous and instantaneous. Don't pry into the mysteries of your wife's dressing room. Remember that Balzac said only a fool or a philoso pher should have the courage to do so. Don't be too slow. Men, like clocks, are better a little too fast than too slow. Don't'talk only of subjects that inter est you. Remember she may have In terests of her own. Don't break your word. A promise that Is kept weighs more than a bunch of flowers that Is sent later. >Don't stop trying to please her. If you stop some one else may begin. Don't make love with too great an I amount of proficiency or she will guess that you've been there before. Don't swear at the waiter, or she will he afraid you will swear at her some day. — * • * I MAKE THE CHILD COMFORTABLE I The natural state of small boys Is to I be dirty, and they must be kept in I cool, wash clothes during the summer- F line. [Wherefore no small problem confronts .lie mother, in the way of sewing and -laundry. f Now. if ever. Is the time to reduce the childish costume to the lowest pos sible terms. / This would seem to be, for actually hot weather, a cotton gauze union suit, , rompers, "barefoot" sandals and half stockings. The rompers should be cut out at the neck, and with short sleeves. Clad in this sort of costume the boy j will be ready for play and as comfort able as it is possible to make him. To make the washing easier, ma terials like seersucker and galatea may be chosen, and if these are chosen in pretty colors they look well enough for afternoon. < , . I There is no reason why the small girl may not be dressed in exactly the same way, as long as she is young enough for the little play suits with the bloom er trousers. Or, if preferred, she might wear the same kind of garment, -with a little skirt buttoned on over the knicker bockers, which would mean the -addi tion of only one article of clothing. m. . ■ • GARBAGE VS. HOUSEKEEPING • The careful and painstaking house wile Is known by her garbage pall, which Is always a silent witness to Its owner's neatness. In the first place, the garbage can is of galvanized iron, closely covered— and emptied often. It never stands, unless empty. in the glaring sun, to be ■ come a nuisance to the neighbors. A supply of chloride of lime or some other disinfectant Is kept In a convenient place and used frequently upon the garbage. < . i: This good housekeeper knows the dif ference between ashes and garbage, and separate receptacles for each are kept side by side V-j'V, ■ V .1 Is better than a largo one. It should be folded Into a strip about four or five inches wide and must be drawn tight about the head, securing preferably at the top with two safety pins so It will not slip. Even tin- most securely arranged headdress is sometimes rendered use less by a breaker that may drag the covering away, and should the hair become wet with salt water no time must be lost In freeing it from salt. I doubt If many girls realize what a streaked and unlovely aspect .their tresses have at the end of the summer If they are not particular to counteract the effect of briny baths. No matter how little 'of the sea water may have worked on, it must be thoroughly rinsed oft. As almost all bathhouses have- a fresh water shower, the hair may bo easily washed. Before removing the wet suit a girl shoud stand under the shower and let It play hard enough to force the salt from the hair, At least three or four minutes will be required for this, and there should be some rubbing to assist In removing the saline. Drying Is quickly done in the sun, and If the hair Is not dry there will be, no danger of burning and changing Its color. It is not well to let the sun play long on dry hair. A girl who Is fond of swimming must not make the error of thinking that it does not matter If she wets her hair when In the bath as long as she rinses it afterwards. Dally shampooing, even of the quick est and simplest, Is too drying to the scalp. MARGARET MIXTURE. curred. The rules now adopted will prevent such collapses. The new code was passed after a series of public hearings. Some of the most prominent builders, engineers, architects and insurance men in the country presented their views. The code goes further than any oth er has gone ln establishing a "defini tion" of good concrete. It says Just what the ingredients should be, ln what proportions they should be mixed, and. In the case of cinder concrete, It speci fies that only "clean anthracite steam boiler cinders" shall bo used. The cin ders must be washed, thoroughly screened and well graded. While the code was under consider ation the committee in charge of it re ceived a number of letters from build ing superintendents of other ctlles urg ing the sort of restrictions which have been Incorporated. These appeals were made because of the Influence which the Now York city code would have on building -practice elsewhere. DONT'S FOR THE HUSBAND Don't kick the dog. She may Say nothing, but she'll never forgive you. Don't let a woman see you look ridic ulous. Love can survive misfortune, but succumbs to ridicule. Don't ask for everything you want. If you're wise and It is within reason, you'll take it. Don't forget/ that you once offered "to lay down your life for the woman you love." As that probably won't be required of you, why. not compromise by donning your dress suit and taking her out occasionally? Don't be satisfied with Just getting the woman you love. Learn how to keep that love by the same method that enabled you to win it. Pon't wear out a woman's heart by selfish demands upon all her time and attention. Don't expect the woman who enter tained you by her wit before marriage to keep lt up 365 days ln every year af terward. Remember also you were a stimulant then, but have become a steady diet. —New York World.

BRIDGHAM THE PRESERVING KETTLE To can grape juice wash and pick over sound Concord grapes, rejecting all that are soft, but leaving some of the stems to break up the thick mess of cooked grapes, making it less com pact when straining. Put In a preserving kettle, with a little cold water, but not enough to cover, and cook slowly until the skins break, mashing and stirring occasion ally With a wooden spoon. Cook about two hours and then pour Into a new coarse Jelly bag to drain. Do not press or squeeze or the juice will be cloudy. Have ready clean, well sterilized bottles, with the patent china or, metal tops. If you do not have these, be sure your corks are new. Soak them first in cold water so they can be pressed in tightly. Measure the juice and to each quart allow one quarter pound granulated sugar. Re heat the juice to the boiling point and cook steadily for half an hour, remov ing the scum as it rises to the sur face, Add the sugar, which has been heated In the oven, cook five minutes, turn into hot sterilized bottles and seal airtight while hot. If preferred, the grape juice may be canned without the addition of sugar, and glass cans may be used in place of the bottles. While Concord grapes are best, any of the purple varieties will answer. Any of the sirup left from brandled peaches can be utilized with the fresh fruit, as also tho sirup left from sweet pickles. Currant Jam Measure the currants and add by measure two-thirds as much sugar. Let them stand until some of the juice is drawn out, then heat slowly an.l cook twenty minutes from the timo they begin to boll. Bottle and seal. Pickled White Onions Put desired quantity of small white onions Into hot water and peel. When all are done put into fresh salted water with a small piece of alum and leave overnight. The next morning drain, cover with fresh water, adding a lit tle salt and a piece of alum about as large as a hickory nut and leave a second day. Drain and put In Jars, placing in each Jar one or two blade* of mace, one or two chillis, a few white peppercorns and a small quantity of horse radish. Pour In vinegar to cover, cork tightly and keep In a dry place. ■ These will be ready In a month. This is the English way of pickling onions. A little different way is to choose fine small onions, peel In hot water and let them stand In strong salt and water for two days. Change the brine the second day. Heat more brine to the boiling point, add the onions and cook three minutes. Drain off the brine, rinse In cold water and leave several hours. Pack in jars, season with cloves, mace and whole peppers and fill with scalding vinegar, to which sugar has been added in pro portion of one cup to a gallon of vine- Mr. Seal while hot: This can be used in a month, but Is better if older. EMMA PADDOCK TELFORD. • . » TEACHING THE ART OF EATING An enterprising woman named Holk er has started a school in Budapest where pupils of all ages are given a full course of instruction in the art of eating. Practical demonstrations are given in ordinary table manners, but the chief aim of the establishment is to teach the Ignorant how to deal suc cessfully with such dishes as they have never even heard of. "Who does not recollect In his experi ence moments of unspeakable anguish," asks Frau Holker, "when at a dinner party he finds that he is using his knife and fork for a dish that only requires a spqon, or vice versa? It Is to save men and women from these little trage dies that I have opened my school." Examinations are to be held at the end of each term, when the students will be requested to attack an array of unknown delicacies set before them, says the London Express. Those who undergo the ordeal successfully will obtain a certificate from Frau Hoiker, which will enable them to face any banquet without flinching. In Vegetable Land Papa Pumpkin: "Stop!

'!•. . ■ Summer Footwear, White and Tan NO WOMAN can be well dressed who is not at all times neatly and smartly shod. It is not necessary that we have many shoes, but it is necessary that the ones we do have be kept in good condition. Women are notoriously careless in the matter of shining their shoes. A man would as soon think of wear ing a soiled collar as of appearing in shoes that were rusty-looking or stubbed and scratched. It takes time, of course, to have smart-looking footwear, but not such a great amount if one gets the habit of attending to the matter regularly. It Is not only Important to keep the shoes shlned up. Fresh shoe laces and well fitting stockings are equally im portant. Tan Boots and Shoes In buying polish remember that there are two kinds, and dark, for high boots, and another considerably lighter, for the lighter leather which makes the majority of the low shoes. -, > An excellent cleanser for tan leather Is a little turpentine on a flannel rag. A raw white potato, freshly cut, is also good for this purpose -eel the potato and cut it into halves. Rub well into every part of the leather Let this dry on; then polish with a rag, with a light, quick motion Light tan may always be made dark er by polishing the shoe before the liquid polish has had time to dry Conversely, if we wish to retain the lighter tone, we must give it time to soak in and'dry thoroughly before the polishing Is done. In washing brown stockings, do not ..se blue water. That is why brown stockings often look so badly after they are washed. _^_ , THE UNEXPECTED GUEST Always aim to have something in the house when the unexpected "man from Toledo, Mexico or Pittsburg" comes home with your husband for dinner. Do not look the part of the persecuted saint, rather look the part of a pleas ing hostess. You remember reading of .Abraham's entertainment of three guests, and he hastened to Sarah and bad.- her with patriarchal impqrious ness. "Make ready quickly," which in American means, "Get a hustle on you, for his train leaves at 2." A can of salmon is salmon Just as long as there is a bit of it left, and it can be any thing else but salmon, but even a can of salmon can be as quickly made Into a tempting dish as were "the three measures of meal, kneaded and made Into cakes," for Abraham, who waited under the oak of Mamre for the noon day repast. We suppose it was noon day, for It was the heat of the day, and Abraham made them comfortable and offered water to wash their feet, so you see he had the true instinct of hospitality. There is really only ona way to be ready for that man from Pittsburg, and that is to have an emer gency shelf, and that will include the countless little articles which are cooked and only need to be reheated to make palatable dishes. True, it Is less appetizing than home-cooked foods, but it serves to prepare the "pot-luck" dinner. I was once conversing with a pleas ant old widower who told me how many dinners his wife prepared for company during her married life. They lived on a farm where every meal had to be prepared from the rough, and they kept an account of guest dinners. I did not wonder he was a widower, for It counted up to the thousands. A meal now and then to a guest Is a very dainty courtesy, but we. don't want It to occur every day, winding up ■with sad cake and hot coffee for the mourners. . ■ ♦ THE RIGHT DEFINITION Little Frances, aged 4, was being put to bed alone for the flrst time. "Moth er," she said, "I do not like this room, it's so weird-looking." "What does •weird* mean, dear?" asked her mother. "Why," she replied, "weird Is long and dark and no-father-and-motherish look in .''—TheDelineatoi\^_________ cream over it and over that another spoonful of peaches. Iced Tea One pint of water, four tablespoons of tea. Put the freshly drawn water to boll, scald an earthenware pot and put in the tea. When the water reaches the boiling point pour it over the tea. Let stand for four minutes, pour Into glasses filled one-half or one-third full of cracked ice, according to strength desired. Serve with .cut sugar and slice of lemon. Tea Is much better when served immediately after making, but if desired it may be poured from the leaves at the end of four minutes, cooled and kept until needed. Lemonade The best way to make lemonade is to prepare a smooth syrup by boiling su gar and water together for a few min utes. The lemon juce Is then added, after being strained through a cheese cloth. This syrup will keep indefinitely if kept in the refrigerator. It is also more convenient to prepare it quantity of syrup at one time and not have the cleaning of lemon squeezer and utensils each time lemonade is to be made. For the syrup use two cups of water and one cup of sugar, boll for twelve minutes, add one-half cup of strained lemon Juice, cool and dilute. Add ice according to individual taste. - If de sired the syrup may be prepared with out the juice, which may be added at serving time. In this case use two tablespoons of syrup and one of lemon Juice to one-half cup of water. For pineapple lemonade' add one can of grated pineapple to three pints of good lemonade. Another pleasing variation Is made by adding one glass of grape juice for each quart of lemonade. A delightful lemonade is made by using part orange juice. For making lemon ade without the syrup mix one cup of sugar with one-half cup lemon juice, add one quart Ice water, stir until sugar dissolves. • Fruit Cocktail ' Fruit served in punch glasses is most appetizing for a luncheon or dinner in this warm weather. Have the glasses well chilled, as well as the fruit. Pare and core a good ripe pineapple, pull off the pulp with a silver fork, being care ful to save all the juice. Sprinkle light ly with sugar . and chill thoroughly. Soft, firm peaches may be served In the same way. A little powdered henna added to the water will help to retain the color. The Perishable White Shoe Constant association with white shoes during the last three or four seasons has taught us that they are really not much harder to keep In condition than either tan or black. A canvas shoe may • be actually scrubbed with soap and water. First brush off any light dust, then scrub with a stiff brush and any good soap. Put in the sun until thoroughly dry. Then the shoe powder or whiting may be used. , , m "■' r. This last gives a clean white finish to the shoe, and keeps it clean longer. White shoe ribbons are better washed in gasoline than In water, as the lat ter is likely to turn them yellow. When the Shoes Get Wet Do not put them near the Are to dry. Artificial heat shrinks them. Put them on shoe trees if possible, and set them where they will get plenty of air, that is, not in a dark closet. When they are thoroughly dry they will probably be hard and stiff, ami a little sweet oil should be rubbed well Into them. ' " ■•'■■' ;'.;• This should dry in turn before the shoes are polished. Things to Know Shoes should always be cleansed or polished either on the foot or on trees, or there is danger of their drawing and shrinking. Several drops of lemon or orange juice are said to give a brilliant polish to any leather. If possible, never wear the same shoes two days in succession. It is fetter to have two pairs and al ternate them. Olive oil, followed by a brisk after polish, is an excellent treatment for patent leather. THE LONELY GIRL IN A HOTEL Women and girls who go every year to some seaside or mountain hotel have considerable opportunity for deeds of kindliness and courtesy, which they too frequently ignore. They are too quick to class all newcomers as out siders, not only making no effort' to know them, but taking a definite at titude of desiring not to. Overex clusiveness is a dangerous practice. We are so likely to miss more than we gain. Many a well-bred," charming wo man, an addition to any circle, has had a stupid, forlorn stay at a place which is filled almost entirely, as such places frequently are, with guests who "come every year." It Is quite correct for one woman to speak to another on a hotel piazza without an Introduction, and It is a gracious and pleasant thing for a wo man, if she sees another girl or wo man looking somewhat lonely, to in troduce herself, extending an invita tion perhaps to some simple amuse ment or frelndly chat on the piazza. If the woman accosted is well-bred, she will respond with the greatest po liteness, telling her name and showing her interest and her appreciation of the courtesy. It either person does not care to continue the acquaintance, since the mere act of living under one roof does not mean congeniality, a bow and a smile when they meet after ward Is all that ls necessary. A re fined woman will never misunderstand or abuse this state of affairs, and acts of simple freindllness are seldom regretted. * . • GENTLE CYNIC It isn't every prophet who Is willing to bet on the result. A fellow may have more money than brains, but not for long. Some men do so much talking about being square that we naturally expect to see the corners sticking out of them. Pride may go before a fall, even when a fellow falls In love. An egotist is merely a man who thinks he is better than we are. A man never realizes how fond he is of blondes till he marries a brunette. . Some men never even express an opinion without marking it "Handle with care." There arc exceptions to all rules, and seme people delight In being exception specialists. If a man doesn't get the better of himself some other fellow will. —Chi- cago Tribune. m . m Her Chance "Do you," said the notary, "swear that you will tell the truth, the whole truth and " "Oh, how lovely!" the fair witness Interrupted.
