Beverley motored to Kingston and are spend- |, A Berulfd Negligee By ELEANOR GUNN Come summer and one loses a hit of interest in tailored things even the mannish bathrobe which has been the latest edition of summer lounging robes worn on beach and in boudoir. The coat negligee of pale pink crepe de Chine, such as is 2hown, makes an impression because of its thistledown qualities. The weight of a ruffle of pleated ne: is not much to carry on the hottest day, and in the original the reveres were white, which, of course, could well be of the dainty tone of the crepe. The woman who travels--and she is, everywhere---much prefers a dark robe for steamer or Pullman wear. Many of these are of soft crepe sat- in and made on coat lines; others are of taffeta; one of the most im- portant requisites having to do with a non-crushable guality, the other with a minimum of space to be given over to it in the traveling bag. Good taste dictates that one should avoid conspicuous colors and too feminine garments for usage en route. (Copyright, 1924, Fairchild). DARK AND COOL When warm weather arrives, practically every woman yearns for a dress that is both dark and cool and may be worn on the street without looking as if the wearer were bound for a garden party. Here is something that just fills the or- der. It is of blue georgette crepe with just a suggestion of trimming in'the way of white porcelain beads. The pleated apron adds to the tailor ed effect and gives a certain weight to the sheer material. The easy neck- line and short sleeves insure ab- solute freedom and comfort. J. R.

Jam Sandwiches Iced Coffee Stewed Fruit Cake Summer Laundry Problems, The hot weather brings. its prob- lems to the woman who does her own laundering. The young housewife, especially, is often puzzled as to how certain materials are washed. Per- haps the following information will be of use: To Wash an Organdie Dress: If colored and never washed before, the dress must have its color "set" as follows: It must soak for one-half hour in a "mordant'" suitable to the color. For pinks, blues and laven- ders, sugar-of lead is the proper mordant; buy five, cents worth of sugar-of-lead eryftals from your druggist (it is a poison so must not be left about carelessly) and dissolve these crystals in a pailful of cold water before putting the dress in to soak. Let the dress drip dry in the shade before attempting to wash the dirt out of it with suds of a good white soap. If, however, the dress is green soak it in the following mordant: Buy a piece of alum the size of an egg and dissolve this in a pail of cold water before soaking dress; proceed as above described in regard to drying and washing. After the organdie dress has been washed, squeeze it from suds, rinse it twice in clear eold water, then put it through a third rinse water which contains a piece of gum arabic as large as a nutmeg. This gum ara- bic can be obtained from a drugstore, is a substitute for starch in stiffen- ing a sheer dress, and must be well dissolved before the dress is rinsed in the water containing it. (Note: Gum arabic is also fine for stiffening any dark colored material on which white starch could not be used. It is excellent to use in washing a child's dark hair ribbons, or in laug- dering dark-colored voile dresses. To Launder Muslins: Set colors as described above, also wash the same. To Launder Gingham Dresses: The same directions for setting colors are used for gingham dresses which are being washed for the first time. Stif- fen ginghams with cold boiled starch rather than the regular boiled starch. To make Cold Boiled Starch, dissolve a lump of starch as large as a lemon in one gallon of water, dip the dress in this, wring out and hang on line. White Dresses of Linen, Gabardine and other heavy materials are starch- 'ed with boiled starch if liked fairly stiff, otherwise with the cold water starch. Surf-Satins, which should be limp, need cold boiled starch. All inquiries addressed to Miss Kirkman in care of the "Effic'ent Housekeeping" department will be answered in these columns in their turn, This requires considerable time, however, owing to the great number received. So if a personal or quicker reply is desired, a stamp- ed and self-addressed envelope must be enclosed with the question. Be sure to use YOUR full name, strest number, and the rame of your city and state. --The Editor P_ The Editor hears | That the Kingston Tennis Club is a live institution with a member- ship of eighty. The courts are on the old athletic grounds and are in excellent condition. Many of the medical 'men of the city who enjoy exercise and find the golf links a bit far away from their patients, belong to this club and business men find this a pleasant place to spend the evening. That" a lady who is a boarder in one of the houses now filled with students who are taking a summer course at Queen's remarked on the low-toned voices and pleasant in- tonation of tH% girls, contrasting it favorably with the harsh tones and loud voices often heard from the younger girls who are in town for the fall and winter term. That the Guide camp has proved most successful this year and has been greatly enjoyed by the girls and also by the ladies in charge. Mrs. 'Revelle's lectures on the birds we should: know and consider our friends have been most interesting and helpful, and the list of familiar birds has been greatly enlarged for the Guides, That the last few days of warm weather have sent people out into the country and the summer homes along the lake and river shore are filled with the prospect for additional week-end guests, That the sing-songs at Dead Man's Bay are greatly enjoyed, but the cheery presence of Mr. Edward Crumley, who last year was the life of the party, is much missed and many thoughts follow him to his home in sunny California. ---- ---- WITH THE GIRL GUIDES AT BEAU RIVAGE, The programme for Thursday afternoon' was the.aquatic ' sports which had been looked forward to with much enthusiasm. Heavy wind with rain looked unpropitious in the morning but the sky cleared before noom 'and everyone was on the "qui vive" for the hour for the con- tests and the large humber of en- tries promised keen . competition. Capt. Mary Ogilvie had arranged a long list of trials in swimming and diving and skiff-racing but unfor- tunately the wind was unfavorable for the latter. The list of prizes was as follows: 20 yard dash--Hurrell Johnston, Betty Harty. 25 yard dash--Nina Elmsley, Dorothy Rigney. Diving for. plates--Isabel Chalm- ers, Nina Elmsley. f: Obstacle race--Nina Grace McCabe. Capt. Mary Ogilvie acted as start- er and Commandant Verna Saunders and Lieut. Edith Allard as judges. The nature study took the form of a hike over the island for a tree study led by Mrs. Revelle. No one livens up the games more than "Bones," our camp mascot, who Elmsley, is the most energetic one in the con- tests, $ A song "The Lilac Tree" by the| Commandant, Miss Saunders, at the camp fire Wednesday night, was much appreciated. Officer for the day Lieut. Kathleen Healey, The tailored frock of ths eagon is not severe, but has graceful es Sch as this one, The surplice front reveals a tiny front of lace, but that is the only trimming. The circular ruffles at the sleeves and caught up in the front make it quite unneces- sary. A very fine, supple charmeen is the material.
