Hot Weather Cooking
During -dog days." if ever, considera-tion snpuld.be shown to the. one who does
the kitchen' work, be she maid. or mistress,
for cooking In a hot kitchen day after day
is certainly an unenviable occupation. Th.-
burden." however, can bo lightened if the
housewife uses some foresight nnd wisdom
in her management 'and \ if the masculine
head of the household is willing,to forego

heat prostration. Most men ."do not know
how hot a fire is required for roasting and
broiling, and they ask for steaks and roastsrot
'because they are thoughtless and un-
kind but because they are ignorant. Often,
too, thty are unfamiliar with other form*
of meat cookery, and they think that meat
Is necessary to keep up their strength-
Now, if the family will leave the bills of
fare completely in the hands of the house-
wife and be content to have her serve only
those dishes which are easiest to prepare,
and if she will use all the wisdom at her
command, the family, including the mas-
culine head, who dotes on roasts, willprob-
ably be delighted. with the tempting, nour-
ishing and refreshing :table that is laid.
With jellied meat loaves, pressed chickenand other cold meats, served with spiced
jelly, irresistible dishes concocted in thechafing dish, fancy cheeses, summer vege-
tables served in unfamiliar ways, mayon-
naise salads, chilled fruit macedonies, cus-
tards, creams and frozen mousses as hotweather fare, the family will be convincedthat the feminine head knows what they
like far better than they do themselves.The following arrangement -exists in a
certain commuter's^ household, where thehousewife is "maid of all work," but Is
blessed with a family that insists on easy
meals: She uses her coal stove only once
a week, on Saturday, when she does allher baking. .On other days she uses the
tireless cooker for the preparation of vege-
tables ,and all foods that do not require
quick cooking. or a tremendous heat. She
uses an oil stove for making coffee andtea, for foods that require short, quickcooking and for fried food3, but the last
are not often attempted Inhot weather.When baking day—Saturday— comes
around, she bakes enough cake, bread and
pie to last for most of the week and roasts
a bigpiece of meat. For Sunday the roast
is served cold, with an acid spiced jelly.
On Monday the meat is chopped fine and
moulded in aspic Jelly, which is preparedfrom a stock made by boiling the bones

dresses. There is a decided change in ha'In the direction of wide, picturesque brim*setting low on the head and with \u25a0hortercrowns than have been worn. Borne of th*
summer straws are almost flat, with flop-
ping brims and draped trimming. Thenthere is a cunning little draped toque amon*
the new designs which sets over an undercap of white lace or embroidery, and in fact
the lace under bonnet is also a feature of
the new big hats. E. M.
The followingmodel is a rood example ofits use: The undergown is of pale greenmoire silk covered with net in the sameshade. At the lmees the overdress is gath-
ered into a band of white batiste, embroid-ered in bigdaisies. The belt or green satin
has a large motif of white embroidery front
and back, and the guimpe and uridersleeve*are made up of a pattern In much smallerdaisies combined with Valenciennes.
'This
gown is most simple in its form, but theundergown of watered silk marks it as anew model. It has also the fashionabletouch of black in the way of velvet bre-telles over the rhoulders, finished by motif*of white embroidery- The hat to:be wornwith this gown is a wide brimmed
•affairof white straw trimmed with black ai-grettes.
But although triere are few all whitegowns, English embroidery has never playeda more important part in the fashion?Certainly it has never before appeared fo
effective, because it has never before been
made up with such a variety of stuffs. Thy
whiteness of a beautiful design shows vbest when arranged over or with bright
si'.k brocades. One often sees a flowerelsilk In fcirly Jeep tones of blue, violet orthe fashionable petunia co\ered with a thin
net tunic inset with figures of English em-broidery.
A summer model from a Rue dela Paix"Shop is made up of Valenciennes lacetrimmed with flounces of English embroid-ery. There are three of these on the skirt,put on with a heading of VaL entre-deuxand separated from each other by severalinches. From the round neck to the top
ruffle on the skirt is a double row.of em-broidered buttons, and the skirt and bodiceare joined by a belt of English embroidery.
So far this is one of the few all-.-white1gowns that the model makers have shown.:Most of the white batiste or embroideredfrocks have an underfrock of color or [aretrimmed with a flowered silk or plain eati'n
iof velvet. Rather a pretty idea shows "a!frock of thin muslin over a. white silk foun-|dation, on which there is a trimming of
icolored ribbons. -\u25a0 \u25a0 . -
!idea has been bo successful. and- generally!popular that the dressmakers are trying:to hold on to it for another "season. To-iday the band is never tight enough, to im-
ipede walking, and it is .beginning ;to;becurved or arranged in points and, in someerses, slightly flounced. It is possible that
: we shall see it replaced in the autumn by
a shaped flounce, but for the summer, atl«sast, the ornamental skirt band cut on. aistraight thread will be in good style. Itis reported that skirts are to be excessivelyIlarge in the autumn.. Such would be amost astonishing development of the pres-ent modes, and one hardly to be expected;It is true, however, that with the thinmaterials of the
'summer we .shall un-
doubtedly see fuller hems.* The ISea al-ready is to put a great deal of trimming'
on the bottom of skirts, but at the sametime to allow them to hang in straightl\nC3.

Itis under these circumstances and be-fore the careful, critical eye of the headof the establishment that they are taught
to \u25a0walk and to move so as to best showoff the particular model they are wearing:
tney are provided with different accesso-ries, such as parasol and reticule, and ad-vised how to carry them, and they aretaught how to lean against a tree or restore knee and hand on an upturned chair\u25a0when chattlnj -with an acquaintance in thefcrffet. But. above all. they are taught howto pose before the many cameras that they
rr.-•\u25a0•: expect to be pointed at them so as tobringout the best points of a gown.
"Remember that from all over the world.America, England. Germany, Austria andeven Dow from Turkey, are assembled buy-
ers who from long experience qul&ly pick
out the professional models and followthem about. They look the gown over anddiscuss its points to see ifit worth buying.
If they think it is a good investment itis quite easy to discover its source.
In describing P. rls mode? it is easy toneglect the claims of the young unmarriedwomen because it is a sort of ft traditionin France that young girls do not dressmuch; that it is not good taste for them to
adopt any style of dress that attracts at-
tention. But like a lot of French traditions
this has fallen a little into disuse. Intruth, there are a lot of fashions that arebest seen on very young- women and whichhave a simplicity that married women donot aways care to adopt. The early sum-mer models are curiously simple, and whilethey may be made striking to the point ofloutiness by the accessories, chosen as they
stand they are best suited to youth.
The skirt banded about the bottom is re-garded already as slightlydemode, but the
Paris, July 7.;Now that the big1racing week ending with
the Grand Prix is over, one can moralize abit over certain of its aspects. A French-m.-ir. who is neither a sportsman nor adressmaker, but simply a keen onlooker at
\u2666his spectacle of Paris, sums itup as "allaround, "the biggest gambling event in the•srcrlfi, with odds in favor of the weatherprophet." It is possibly true that as muchmoney is invested In clothes as in horse-flesh, and that the success of a new modellaunched by a big firm of dressmakers isas \u25a0uncertain, as is that of a horso enteredfor the big race. It all depends on the•weather; '
seine horses run well on wetgrave! that ruins The speed of a stronger
\u25a0teed, and so certain modes launched undera blue, sunny sky fall promptly to pieces
•ur.d<ir cold and gloom. \u25a0
Any one not au courant with the dress-making world of Paris cannot imagine thepreparation, involving
'time and money,
that Is made for these events. Many
women well known in the half-world andto the theatre are invited by prominentcouturiers to wear their models on theseoccasions, and aside from this most of thehouses send out ma^iUdm from their own•hops. Some of these women are experi-
enced in the proper showing off of gowns,
but their face:- soon get known, and often*pretty g~.r." from the workshop or new-comers Btnonc the manikins are preferred.
For these girls end, in fact, for the beetdisplay of the new costumes an out-of-doorJftress rehearsal Is necessary, and often•piore than one. A little summer place injtlieenvirons of Paris is an almost neces-sary adjunct to a smart dressmaking es-tablishment, and here the girls parade
ißbout in the gowns that they are to showlater on at the races.
~fome ays of the XOorld
Every one is familiar with that indefiniteand subtle change that comes to a person's
voice when speaking of a very rich rela-tion or friend, and another well knownchange is that of manner when one of
these multimiillonaires joins a group In
which the poor relation Is seated. Even
the children of a family reserve their best
manners for those they know to be rolling
in money, and angelic behavior and buttery
ton^s are the rule when the wealthy auntIs around. Children are the reflection of
what they see. and often will give as areason for doing what appears unnaturalsomething they have overheard or seen.Therefore, much information ;<bout thetrue Ftate of affair? in a family may begleaned by observing the children.
A long storm or steamer coat of sememore or less heavy woollen material is oneof the few special requisites for the voyage.A good, well fitting sweater, which mostwomen those days are sure to have, willalso do good service, sometimes under thecoat and aeiam without it, for the deckpromenade. A steamer rug and a soft littledown pillowto tuck in at the back of theneck complete the list of necessary trav-eller's supplies. The travelling rug can behired on the steamer for from $1 to SI 50, ifdesired, or a second one if the voyage turnaout to be cold and windy.Ifa woman wear* simply normal shoes
the winter through In the oity at home, sheis not likely to be led astray by the manywriters who tell her to wear tennis shoesor rubber soles on her regular toots on thesteamer. Too much emphasis cannot belaid upon the importance of shoes and ho-siery, but it is only in the way of insistingthat they be the neatest and best fittingthat ran be found.
The woman who economizes by wearingher oid shoes would be sorry if she realizedhow the worn spots on the soles announcethemselves vauntlnply to the world as sh«»turns them confidingly outward from hersteamer chair. Tennis shoes are ugly an Auncomfortable for people who are aecuß-tomed to heel3, and unnecessary. Rubbersoles are uncomfortably warm, and they,too, are needless. When tho decks aro sovet that extra protection for the feet isrequired, one is likely to remain inside, orrubbers raaj always be slipped on if de-sired.
Nothing is prettier for the head than thehat which matches the street suit, alwaysproviding that it is a small one. The"steamer haf is little in evidence thesedays ii;the better shops. This is easily un-derst .id when one sees here and there odtho steamer the absurdity of old facesunder jaunty little caps, or plain ones withtheir ugliness accentuated by the coquet-tishness of their head coverings. With thehair firmly pinned in place a hat of anykind is little needed on the covered decks.Many persons wear veils, though it mustbe admitted that they often leave some-thing to be desired in the way of becoming-ness. A hit of black lace over the grayl-air_of an elderly woman is charming, andso are the hoodlike effects that have comein with the automobile and which are suit-able for women of all ages.
Wash dresses are desirable for warm flays—linen coats and skirts or one-piece frocks—and it is pleasant to have a simple, one-piece silk or llsht woo! gown for dinner,though these are not necessary. If thedinner gown is cut a little low in the neckit ijives the effect of evening dress.
As to underwear, there is no rV-ason whyit should be any different from what onowrars at home. High-necked and long-
The woman who walks on to a steamerwearing her regular street suit Is welldressed for her voyage if the suit is trimand smart.
Advice to Ocean TravellersNot Yet Superfluous.
Itwould seem that the last word of ad-vice to the ocean traveller had been given,
but any ono who has ever taken the pains
to observe the flotsam and jetsam of trav-elling array that float past a steamerchair must have been convinced that thereis more to b<i said. A great deal of unwiseinstruction, too, needs to be unlearned.
Yet the whole question is very simple—amere matter of good taste. An oceansteamer is a great floating hotel, and onedresses for it as for any other hotel. Oneknows, of course, that one*Villmeet manystranpers, whose first impressions will begained from one's clothes, but the wisewoman is particular about her clothes'everywhere.
MORE TO BE SAID
Summer wardrobes, being light in weight,
can be packed in the trunk with astonish-ing ease. Too close packing, however,
should be avoided, for it willcrush out thenew, fresh appearance which is the chiefcharm of summer gowns. It Is better to go
on a visit with a few clothes, all crisp anduttractive looking, than to have a greater
number showing creases and the wear andtear of travel. Everything, moreover, that
is put into the trunk to take away shouldbe in perfect order. Each button and tape
ehould be in its place; veils should befresh; gloves should be spotlessly clean.Women who make many visits have alsolearned to have even their smartest gowns
arranged so that they can be put on andfastened up with comparative ease. Athouse parties it is frequently necessary tochange the clothes very quickly, and, asevery guest cannot have the service of themaid at the same time, it is weli to be in-
"When Iwent home from boarding
school for the holidays for the first time,'
said a woman who is married now andhas daughters of her own, "I made my
Initial attempt at trunk packing. Ijust
turned ray bureau drawers upside down,
one by one. and dumped the contents in
my trunk. Iteach my daughters better,
for when one goes upon a visit the hostess,
if she chances to be in one's room when
the trunk is opened, is likely to size oneup by the way the contents look, to say
nothing of the maid's opinion. If they are
a jumbled, tumbled mass, she is pretty
sure to think—if she doesn't know one well—"Dear me! I'm afraid my guest's room
will be in disorder during this visit.'"
There's a science in packing. Some
women make a profession of it, packing
other people's trunks for pay. But iti3ascience any one may learn with a littleeffort, and in these days, when every one
ie making week-end visits and rounds ofvisits, and it is so often impossible to takea maid along, it is a necessary science to
know.The size of a trunk for week-end visits is
of the first importance. If it is too large
Itwill be cumbersome for the servants tohandle, and there may not be space for it
In the room where the owner is lodged,
yet it must be large enough to hold the
gowns and other things regarded &.« neces-sary Qt a fashionable week-end party. A
trunk about 2 feet * Inches long by 18

motor car, end this ie an important point,
as so many people live some distance from
railway stations and transport their guests

!n some individual way. so that the owner
can pick it out quickly from a truckful of
baggage on the station platform. A large
white ptor painted on the end of the trunkwill do. or some interlocked circles, orbands of contrasting colors.
Into the week-end trunk must go, for the
conventional visit, an extra hat, threeevening gowns, one high necked afternoon
gown for special occasions, two morning
gowns, plenty of lingerie, shirtwaists,
shoes and slippers, and gloves, veils andother trifles. The heavy wrap, which it isprudent to take, can always be carried overthe arm.

The elimination .races are setfor August 8, 9 and 10 off Marblehead, thebeats to be raced In three divisions, andthe final international race will take place

A TBUE SPORT.
To hold semi-precious jowels, beads, beltbuckles and various other ornaments,
cases in imitation of the suede ones arcmade of heavy linen and tucked securely
to the inside of one of the compartments of
the trunk. After a trunk Is supplied witha set of linen linings it often follows as anatural sequence that various pockets,
made of the same stuff, are tacked to the
inside of the trays and the hat box. Themore certain kinds of things are kept to-gether the easier it is to find them in atrunk.
and their use ha3now become much moregeneral than that of the heavily scentedsachets that have done service during thewinter. Shirtwaist cases are made of somewash material of heavy texture, and are
fashioned in much the same shape as alarge nightgown case. Around the edges
they are bound with colored linen braid,
and the Initials of the owner may be em-broidered on the outside with wash cotton.
When shirtwaists are folded carefully andslipped into such cases they retain theirfreshness much better than if packed pro-
miscuously with other things.
The problem of what to do with jewelswhen travelling ha? been somewhat simpli-
fied by the Introduction of suede jewel
bags, made to be suspended from a beltworn under the sk.rt of the gown. They
are fashioned in various shapes and sizes
and divided into several convenient littlecompartments. Good ones cost not less
than $3.
An active woman is Miss Mary Balch, thesecretary, who does this work. From 11:30o'clock in the morning until 2:30, and from4:50 till 8:30 o'clock on five of the week-days, and from 11:30 until 5:30 on Satur-days, she is at the committee's temporaryoffice
—loaned for the summer by the Junior
League—
at No. 42 West 39th street, atthe service of all inquiring girls. In be-tween times she packs Ijer suitcase andhurries down to Long: Island or over to NewJersey to sleep at Mrs. Smith's or Mrs.Robinsons farm boarding house and findout if the beds are as good as the sceneryIs said to be. Another thing she has tomake sure of—that the hoarding: places andtheir surroundings hare nothing about•them to 'which it would be unsafe morallyto expose a young girl.Ifall girls were as cautious as the first
batch of inquirers who sought Miss Balch.there would be no fear of their getting- intodangerous places. This «-as a group offour Italian girls, and they brought menalong, one big swarthy man for every girl,and a fifth man. for good measure, per-haps.

Women should by nature make much
better agrents for renting furnished housesthan men do. as they can point out the
desirable features with persuasive and dul-
cet insistency, and suggest remedies so
simple and practical for the undesirablethings that any man and most womenwould be keen to begin on the suggested"doing over." Every woman is really at
heart a born home-maker. Like a rd, shehap the nest-buildins; instinct, and the
house ruled and run by a woman, marriedor single, has a charm and subtle refine-ment that other houses have not, unless
the man is an artist or has artistic ten-
dencies. A man mostly longs to be com-fortable, and if comfortable willcheerfully
enjoy quite hideous surroundings, just sothat no one touches his pipe or his papers
or "tidies up" the other belongings thaicrowd bis den. Sometimes he will feelvaguely dissatisfied on coming bock to .i
dreary bachelor's apartment after dining
well in some grem of a home, but he al-•ways consoles himself by the thought thatany alterations for style would cause himto lose some of his comfort.

MASSACHUSETTS "ANTIS"
An old farmer livingIn a section that hasrecently been bought up by wealthy people
complained quite bitterly to one of the#«new neighbors on the changes that had
come to his part of the world, and the bur-den of his plaint was the motors. He
"didn't allow they killed his chickens ordogs, and he wasn't afeard for himself,
even if he wae growing deaf." neither didhe complain of the dust or the gasolene
smells. His grte-v«nce against the motorswas their unfriendliness. "Why in the oldtimes," he said, "every one that owned th«mplaces would say. "Hop In and have a lift.'if I was going their way, and now th»mdurned chauffeurs just go 'honk-honk' andpa«B me by, them riding alone, too. as if Iwasn't good enough to ride With them. So1 jest made up my mind that them ma-chines is selfish all the way through fromchauffeur to owner, an' every one el«earound here that knows anything thinksso too." The old farmer Is right, by morethan half, for in the country since timehad wlr.gr? the man on the road, aa well asthe woman or child, has ever had thecourtesy of "a lift as far as Iam going."
and the comfort of conveyance was thusshared between rich.and poor. The motorowner wouM no more think of stoppingand taking In a stranger under similarconditions than he would think of delib-erately running over him. An automobilepromotes friendly intercouse between pointsfar diftam. but never is it a conveniencefor those it passes on the highway, so withthe departure of "Old Dobbin" from thehighway the friendliness of the road goc3
