Out wisdom of
CYNTHIA. GREY
An essence of pennyroyal is very
objectionable to mosquitoes and
files. An application of kerosene,
Ist which a quantity of this essence
It placed, will assist In keeping
tbem away. It ran be robbed on
the screen doors and placed in sau
cers If the insects are in the house.
One excellent method for killing
either insect In the house is to
close all doors and windows, place
a lump of burning coal on a skillet
■ed pour over this 10 cents worth
of carbolic acid. Do not inhale the
fumes. By the time tbe smoke has
nettled the pests will be dead.

HAT GRAND PRIZE
BY CYNTHIA GREY.
Will anybody in America ever
rear a hat like this? Let us hope
»ot, for while it is the remarkable
aeatlon that won the first prize of
(1.000 at the imperial exhibition in
Berlin, It is not half pretty enough
lor our charming American girls.
1 really don't see much grace In
ihe hat, do you? To my mind the
reeet, demure face of the wearer
■ust hare contributed largely to
its triumph.
If this bat is made, as of course
It Is, of velvet or felt or any other
sonstructed, such dimensions would
>c so weighty as to be almost neck-
Jreaking Even the flowers and
fabric of which winter hats are
relvet with which this hat is trim-
Ised are heavy.
i But the hnt looks well on tho
Mad of this German girl, because
phe Is so charming, and we'll let it
fa at that. Its In far-away Ger
psmy anyway, and the size of the
sat needn't worry us.

FORMER NEW YORK HEIRESS

(By United Press.)
NEW YORK, Aug 30.—Countess
Carlo Dentice di Frasso, formerly
Miss Georgine Wilde, daughter of
Mrs. Henry Siegel of New York,
now visiting her mother, is a stout
champion of the international mar
riage.
"European marriages bring more
contentment than American mar
riages," the countess said. '■Ameri
can girls who marry European men
are sure of the comradeship of
their husbands. American men
relegate their wives to a position
in their hearts alone, never per
mitting them the mental intimacy
which is the foundation of friend
ship In matrimony.
"The American bride and bride
groom are madly in love and wildly
happy, but It does not last. Ameri
cans rush Into matrimony too has
tily aud unthinkingly. Divorce Is
too easily obtained. As the latest
novelist declares, 'We have no
downtown all full of business men
and uo uptown all full of society
women.' Aly husband works as
hard as any American, yet he finds
time to come home to luncheon and
to see me several, times during the
day."
JUST FOR GIRLS
White and black moire hats are
shown for late summer.
Sashes are of all widths, begin
ning with four-inch ribbon.
For evening wraps, light gray
moire Is among the most desirable
materials.
Screws which can be tightened
upon the lobe of the ear hold new
eardrops in place.
Fitted collars are lower than
those of last year, und have a
straighter top line.
Fringes and tassels of Jet, and
Jetted braids are conspicuous
among autumn trimmings.
Colored stockings to match ths
assh may be worn instead of while
hosiery with white dresses.
White silk fish net Is used by
girls to make one more of the
many scarfs they are all wanting.
One of the newest and smartest
of hats has a very tall crown, and
a brim turning up close to the side.
Wonderful hoods made of the
most delicate fabrics are among
the accessories which girls are pre
paring for winter.
Oirls are wearing college men's
hat bands of striped ribbon for
belts. To make them firm, they are
lined with ribbed beltlug.
Instead of a band encircling the
head, the Grecian fillet is modified
to a narrow ribbon woven In and
out among the loops and puffs of
th<' hair.
White buttonholes, butlous uud
stttchings are noticed upon black
suede boots, while white calf's

crown Is unusual. The many looped
bow; of golden galleon is also a
now wrinkle.
It is safe to prophesy that our
girl will keep the left bide of her
face turned toward the man she
hopes to impress, for she undoubt
edly does look charming enough to
melt any man's heart.

r LKTEN! BACON GREASE
h IS 100 PER CENT GOOD
Setter Than Lard, More Than a Rival of Butter—Great
\s a Flavoring for Stewed Vegetables—Best for Frying
%—A Pound of Bacon Gives a Pint of Grease—Never
'Too Dear When There is No Waste.
"Some nice breakfast bacon,
ma-am?" said a grocer to a house
wife of slender pocketbook the
other day.
"We love it," was the answer,
"but, dear me, it is too high."
Yes, it Is high.
But sometimes bacon is so high
as to be a crime. That is when
housekeepers fry baoon and pour
the grease into the sink or into the
garbage can. A mint of golden dol
lars has been wasted in this way*
all through plain ignorance.
Bacon is no higher than any oth
er good food, if there is no waste.
There is no excuse for any waste
In bacon. And it is good food. Ba
con Is a breakfast dish for con
valescents in every hospital.
Now, here Is the key to the econ
omy of bacon: the crease.
Bacon grease is tho best available
medium for frying. It is the most
toothsome and the purest. Contrast
the cleanliness and flavor of bacon
grease with the insipid, unattractive
taste of that pallid, ghastly looking
product known as lard, made from
who knows what. Pure leaf lard is
rare, and even at its best the rich,
tempting savor of bacon Is vastly
preferable.
Bacon, properly prepared for
those who do not engage in heavy
manual labor and therefore do not
need much of the rich, heat produc
ing fat, should be fried to a crisp,
until it is to all intents entirely
lean. Then it is a dish fit for gods,
and for mortals who know what Is
good. Then there is left the grease,
golden brown and delicious. Now
the usefulness of bacon only begins.
Hear this! Prom one pound of
breakfast bacon you get one pint
of precious bacon grease.
What do with it?
That's easy.
Fry eggs in it. You will never
again use lard. Even butter is in
ferior-to it.
Season boiled string beans with
320-22-24 Sprague Avenue
it. It is a substitute for cooking
bacon with them. Two or three
tablespoonfuls will give the proper
flavor.
Put it in potato salad. It beats
olive oil. Melt and pour over the
potatoes.
Fry onions in It. They will taste
like something then.
Fry liver in it. You won't have
to fry bacon with the liver.
Season potato soup with it—the
finest soup that can be made with
out soup stock.
Fry apples in it. Yes, apples. It's
great.
Use It for German fried potatoes.
They will get nice and brown.
Flavor stewed cabbage with it.
Fry green corn with half butter
and half bacon grease. Oh, the
aroma of this dish!
Fry mashed potatoes In it, and
with one half butter get that much
desired, appetizing crust.
Season mashed parsnips with it.
It is just the thing for frying
cornmeal batter cakes.
It is the thing to shorten johnny
cake with.
Grease the tins with it when bak
ing corn bread.
Let other misguided persons
throw away their bacon grease, but
you hang on to it. It is 100 per
cent pure and wholesome.
Sooner throw away your cream
ery butter than bacon grease.
N. B. —If the bacon is too salty,
before frying let It simmer in the
pan covered with water a few mo
ments. This will boil out the ex
cess of salt, which can be poured
off with the water. You will lose
no grease. If bacon or bacon grease
sticks to the pan, it is a sign it is
too salty.
