Touches in. Summer Fashions.
An easy way to gain a bewitch-
ing. shimmer en an embroidered
chiffon gown. is this : Embroider
the pattern in very bright silks of
heavy strand and in sharply ton-
trasting colors. Then cut pieces of
chiffen to cover each bib.. of em-
broiclery and outline them, with
'' heavy rope silk in a dark shade of
the eglor of the chiffon. The bright
colors seen through the chiffon,
shimmer and glisten in a most at-
tractive way. A beautiful imported
chiffon evening gown of yellow,
;with a panel in the front of the
skirt of purple, showed a border
about the top of the straight flounce
on the skirt. of bright peacock .col-
ored embroidery, masked with yel-
low chiffon sewed on with golden
yellow
rope silk.
One of the new all black hats
shows a double brim of straw. A
pleating of tulle is fattened be-
tween the two pieces of the brim,
which meet firmly on each side of
the tulle frill. The frill stands out,
or rather falls, about an inch be-
yond the edge of the straw brim,
and the only other decoration to
/the hat is a big, stiff black silk
bow.
The way to describe the manner
in which belts are now warn is to
say that they are hung about the
waist. ,.This description is quite
correct. Many of the belts actually
are hung. They are fastened at
the waist line for a few inches in
front and hang down at the back.
This method of wearing the belt
gives a strange downward and back-
ward slope to the figure which is
seen in many of the lately imported
gowns from Paris.
Feather decorations for straw
hats in modified sailor shape are
made up of a band of fine ostrich
feather joined with a buckle of the
same feather. They are made in
tan and blue and other colors and
are effective for morning hats of
" white or black straw.

gathered into the belt. There is
it panel of the embroidery on both
the back and front of the sleeve-

forms the three-quarter length

Picture frame veils are appre-
ciated by women who wear face
veils for motoring, yachting and
other forms of outdoor recreation.
They are made with a square or
oblong of plain silk mesh, sur-
rounded with „a figured border and
figured mesh to complete the rest
of the veil. They are of silk and
are very carefully and well made.

Goldwin Smith's Letters.
considerable furors in literary and
Po itical circles has been caused by the
publication lication of a volume of letters by the
late Professor Goldwin Smith. The vol-
ume is edited by Mr. Arnold Hauitain
who for mealy years previous to Mr, Gold -
win
d asecre-
tary, acted privatese
tdae
t •y, and was by the will appointed lit-
erry executor. Some time ago Mr. Haul-
ta n published ,a volume of Reminiscences
which was, however; disappointing because
of the trivial character of the work. The
present volume is also disappointing to
admirers of the late "rage of the Grange,'
butfor a different reason. It is disappoint-
ing.
. because.'.i•t seems to reveal Goldwin
Smith as a narrow, bitter partisan who
found the times out of joint, who mis-
trusted most men's motives and did not
hesitate to attack his contemporaries with
6i terness and virulence.
Mr. Haultain declares that these are the
letters "of a truly great man who saw
very far and whose solutions of all prob-
lems were derived from an intellect il-
lumined with 'lumen siccnm' which is all
toorare," which prompts one reviewer to
remark "to consider Goldwin Smith as a
great man, even an eminent man, is to
give place to an amiable superstition
On the whole, Goldwin Smith's reputation
ha not been enhanced since his death.
It had to be remembered, however, that he

yetceased their activities.

made Many newspaper readers must have been
impressed during the past few years with
the tremendous amount of stuff which is
being printed concerning the grosser
forms of vice, particularly that which is
known as the White Slave Traffic. All
sorts of organizations have been stirred
to take up the subject, all of them no
doubt with the best intentions.
It may be stated in emphatic terms that
a great proportion of the stories which
are printed concerning this evil are en-
tirely imaginary. There are probably few
newspaper editors who have not had
brought to their offices manuscript pur-
porting to relate life incidents in connec-
tion with this' matter which, without
doubt, had their genesis solely 'n -the
brain of the writer. From time
figures are given out concerning

willing to take whatever steps are ne-
cessary without any furore or campaign
being made about it. The thing that seems
to be most needed is the inculcation into
the home of good morals and good sense
with frequent iteration of the simple
warning that "who plays with fire is apt
to get burnt."
However, with many persons discussion
of the subject seems to be a mania, and
it looks as though a campaign of pub-
licity had not yet run its course.
Ontario Bye•eiactions,
unusual interest is being taken in the
bye -elections which are shortly ,to take
place in North Grey and in South Bruce,
the former to elect a representative to
the Legislature to replace Memorable A.
G. MacKay and the latter to fill the va-
cancy in the Mouse of Commons caused
by the elevation of Senator Donnelly.
South Bruce is interesting to politicians
because they think it will give them a
line on what. rural Ontario 'thinks about"
the Naval. Issue" and North_ Grey is in-
teresting because it . is the seene of his-
toric conflicts. Liberals are afraid that
the departure of Mr. MacKay will result
in a considerable weakening of their
forceso in that riding. The fact that both
candidates 'are Temperance advocates may
prevent the' "Abolish the Bar" issue from
being presented by a clear cut fashion.

Our Religious Convictions.
On account of the great number of
Church conventions recently Ontario daily
papers have resembled Church publications
almoilt more than secular prints. The
Presbyterian Assembly, the Baptist Con-
vention, the Anglican synods, the Metho.
dist Conferences and the Congregational
Union all demanded their share of pub-
licity, and for a time the sporting page
had to look for its laurels., as the centre
of attraction,
An English visitor who attended some
of the sessions of the Presbyterian Assem-
bly and some of the Methodist Confer-
ences told me that he was astounded at
the uncompromising attitude of these
churches, whieh he considered fairly typ-
ical of,what would be described in Eng-
land as non -conformist denominations. lie
was particularly impressed with the rigid,
ity of the views expressed towards the
liquor trafi.c. lie was almost horrified to
Ond that, the opinion was expressed and
applauded that not merely the .manufae-
turers and the dispensers of liquor were
sinners of the blackest dye, but that the
moderate drinker was also denounced. It
was regarded as impossible for a man to
be a Christian and Indulge in liquor in
any degree. To this English visitor this
was a novel point of view.
At the Synod meetings he said he found
a somewhat Softer temper. The atmos•
phare here was not quite so unrelenting.
In fact, delegates, lay and clerical, were
frequently to be soap slipping out of the
meeting to enjoy a quiet emoke at the
back of the church.
The great outstanding figure in the local
Synod is Hon, S. II, Blake. he speaks on

Han and Wife Fatten on Gra}ie-
Nuts.
The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the ' founda-
tion of solid flesh is now no longer
as prevalent as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest
their food, and the undigested por-
tion is changed into what: is practi-
cally a kind of poison . that acts
upon the blood wird nerves, thus
getting all through the system.
"I was a heavy meat eater,".
writes a Westernmari, "and up to
two years ago, was in very poor
health. I suffered with indigestion
so that I only weighed 95 ,founds.
"Then I heard about Grape -Nut,
food and decided to try it. My
wile laughed at .me at first, but
when I gained to 125 pounds and
felt iso fine, she thought she would
eat Grape -Nuts too. Now she is fat
and well and has gained 40 pounds.
We never have indigestion any
more and seldom feel the desire for
meat.
"A neighbor of ours, 68 years
old, was troubled with indigestion
for years, and was a heavy meat
cater. Naw since he has been eat
ing Grape -Nuts regularly, he sas's

Ways of Preparing Cherries. '
Cherries are the first of the fruits
of the summer—the first, that is, of
the. fruits 'of the summer trees.
Plums, pears and peaches are still
served: only in the feasts of dream-
land.when cherries are ripe. Hence
they are generally greeted with an
enthusiasm not bestowed en any. of
the later fruits_
Cherries served fresh and cold
on their own stems for breakfast are
so delicious that no other way of
serving them at that meal could be
better. But pitted and sprinkled
with sugar and a bit of Iemon juice,
they serve as an appetizer and at
the same time lose none of their
delicate flavor. Another way of pre-
paring them for breakfast is to pit
them and mix them with sugar—
in the proportion of half a cupful
to a pint of cherries—and cook them
until they are just tender. Then
pour them over buttered toast.
Cherry soup has been made, but
it could hardly be more than the
result of an effort to serve cherries
in a new and unexpected way. How-
ever, at every course save the soup
course cherries -can be legitimately
served. •
Cherry cocktails are made in this.
ayw:s Stone ripe, cherries, chop
them 'fine, add .a tablespoonful of
lcmaon jmee to each -cupful of cher-
ries, nweet, p them , • to taste and.

by removing part of ,one side of a
sufficient number of lemons, cutting
a bit of the rind from the other
side, removing all the pulp and
juice and washing and chilling the
shells.
Cherries served with French
toast can 'be used as an entree. To
make them out rings Half an inch

S.our cherries are ' needed for
cherry sherbet. Stone a quart of
them. -In the mean time boil to-
gether a quart of water and a pound
of granulated sugar for 15 minutes.
Adel, the cherries to the hot syrup
just as it is taken from the stove
and stand aside until it is perfectly
cold: Strain through a fine wire
sieve and freeze. When you take
out the dasher stir in a meringue
made of the white of one egg sweet-
ened with a tablespoonful of granu-
lated sugar: Pack in ice for an
hour or two.
Cherry salad that is surprising as
well as appetizing is made of pitted
cherries filled with chopped nuts in
the cavity made by the removal of
the pit, served on crisp white let-
tuce leaves and dressed with French
dressing. This is one of the pret-
tiest salads imaginable, if the cher-
ries are bright red and the lettuce
white and yellow, ae perfect lettuce
hearts are.
Cherry bread pudding is' a dessert
which 'can be eaten by children and
which is enjoyed likewise by grown-
ups. To make it, spread a layer of
bread crumbs in the bottom of a
'buttered baking dish and cover with
a layer of stoned cherries, sugar,
bits 'of bitter end a sprinkle of
lemon juice. Add a layer of crumbs,
another layer of cherries, and so on
until the dish is full. Finish with
a laYer of crumbs. Bake the pud-
ding until the 'cherries are tender.
If they' are juicy the pudding. will.
need no moistening while baking,
but if they are not jujey pour a few
tablespoonfuls of water over it when
it is put in the oven and add 'water
to keep it from drying out as it
bakes. - Serve the pudding with a
sauce made of . cherries boiled in
sugar and water for 10 minutes and
then pressed through a sieve,
Cherries can be used kr-short-
cake. Make a rich biscuit short-
cake, bake it in two thin, crisp lay-
ers, butter each and cover over the
n
bottom with crushed and pitted
cherries that have been generously
sprinkled with sugar. Cover the
top • with' whole, pitted cherries,
sprinkle with sugar and serve with
a sauce like that for the bread pud-
ding.
A Few Suggestions.•
Put a damp cloth or damp nap-
kin over sandwiches or bread if it
is necessary to -wait before serving.
The hair may be kept from com-
ing out after an illness by frequent
application to the scalp of sage tea.
To remove a fishbone from the
throat, cut a lemon in half and suck
the juice slowly. This will dissolve
the fishbone, and give instant re-
lief.
An easy and quick way -to clean
pie -dishes and plates burnt in the
oven is to wash them first, and then
rub them with asmall piece of
emery paper.
When boiling old pota£oes add a
little milk to the water in which
they a `re boiled. This prevents
them- turning dark in the cooking,
and improves the flavor.
After washing blankets, hang
them on a line until quite dry, then
beat them gently with a carpet
beater. This makes them soft and
fluffy-.
An excellent plan before putting'
one's hands in soda -water is to rub
them well with a piece of mutton
fat. This counteracts the bad effects
of soda.
To.preanwhite shoes, scrape some
pipe clay; finely and -max it to *the
consistency of -cream with cold wa-
ter. -Brush all dust off the shoes,
and rub the mixture well into them.
Leave till thoroughly dry.
There 'is a proper way to mix
blacking. Cut the cake of blacking
into small pieces, put into a saucer,
and pour enough sweet 'milk to
make it rather into a thick cream.
Mixed in this way helps to prevent,
the blacking from cracking.
When making jam add a piece of
butter the size -of an egg, fifteen
minutes before removingthe fruit
from the fire. This will ' make it
look clear and prevent•it freed stick-
ing to the sides of the jars.
