Oysters cannot live in water con- taining less than 37 part of salt to every thousand cf water, THREE-PIECE OUTFIT J This very effective three-piece outfit copies the most attractive fea- tures of the peasant costume and combines them with the best lines of Paris, The gown is a simple straight- line affair with a low waistline and a pleated skirt. 'The long coat is much mote elaborate. The pleats are held in at the waistline and hem- line by bands of embroidery which keep the lines very straight. The embroidery is repeated on the shoul- ders, applied peasant style. A collar of white rabbit fur soft- ens the neckline and adds the bit of protection that even a summer coat should afford. The material is white crepe de chine and the em- broidery is in shades of blue and orange. ---- The Editor hears That Lady Diana Cooper, the Bri- tannia whose outthrown arms led the great assemblage in song, was a lovely finale to the gloriously color ful pageant at the Heart of Empire Ball, held in London's famous Al- bert Hall. Lady, Diana was borne in, stand- ing on a small stage carried by eix men. Attempts had been made to persuade her to adopt the familar enthroned position, lest she should be unable to maintain the pose so long on her rather unsteady 'ground. But her confidence in herself was mot misplaced and her marvellous balance was commented on by every- one. Mrs. Fred Beardmore, of Mont- real, represented Canada in the pageant, That the Woman's Institute corn- er at the Canadian National Exhibi- tion in Toronto will be one of most interesting, mot only to yomen but to men to whom it wil bring realization of the farm wo- man's part the development of Can- ada. That "one hundred women in con. gress" is the cry sent up at Washing- ton by. the National Women's Party --which is not, as the name implies, a feminine political sect, and does- n't care to which party you belong as long as you boost women's causes, And their slogan, "Women for Con- | gress," seems likely to replace the famous 'Votes for women" of the suffrage campaign some ten years 'That the beautiful holiyhocks just coming into bloom were jn many places damaged by the severe storm of Thureday and the roses just at the end of the summer bloom had their lovely petals blow washed away, That the country looks as lovely as it does in June.

Different brass objects re- quire different care. Antique Brass, for instance, re- quires polishing with powdered rot- tenstone which has been mixed to & paste with a little paraffin oil. Old Banares Brass, on the other hand, which is lacquered with gold, should never be scoured. Instead, apply a paste of lemon juice ahd cream of tartar, letting it stand on the Banares Brass for five minutes and then washing off with warm wa- ter and drying with a soft cloth. Brass Faucets and Doorknobs may be rubbed with a paste of paraffin oil and powdered bath brick fol- lowed by an application of the pow- dered bath brick alone (dry om a cloth), then polished with a clean chamois. Or, if old and rough, this variety of brass may be polished with any sand soap. Lacquering Brass to Prevent from Tarnishing: Apply a thin coat of lacquer (which any. hardware store will sell you) sfter you polish the brass. The polish shows through the coat of lacquer, thus always keeping bright. I know of house- wives who received brass candle- sticks and other ornaments for wed- ding gifts and who immediately lac- quered them---thereby making it un- necessary to polish the ornaments at all. When the coat of lacquer wears off, simply give them another coat. To Make Brass Look Like Bronsge: Some women change their brasses into what appears to be bronze as follows: They rub them once a week, or oftener, with a piece of flannel moistened with any light oil such as that used for sewing machines; the metal gradually darkens under this treatment and thereafter re- Guires no polishing. To Make an OI Brass Bed into a White Enameled One: Brass beds, too, should be lacquered to keep the polish from tarsishing, but when a bed has never been lacquered and its brass is worn through from many polishings, it is often better to ap- ply white enamel over the brass ra- ther than send the bed to a brass foundry to have a new coat of brass put on. This is how to apply the enamel: Remove lacquer (if it has any on) by scrubbing with strong soda wa- ter (one tablespoon of washing soda to one quart of hot water or denatur- ed alcohol), them roughen the sur- face by brushing over with muriatic acid (a poison) or else by rubbing with course sandpaper. (If the acid is used it should be afterward wash- ed off and the rags burned). Apply three coats of flat paint and two of enamel. Smooth all but the final coat with number 00 sandpaper to remove brush marks. Fripperies And Frivolities By ELEANOR GUNN The prolonged rainy season, with its necessity for carrying an umbrella, has given us--when the sun shines -- fine training for wielding a parasol. Parasols, for a time, became almost obsolete, but, like most things which were successes of other years, they have returned. Curiously enough their reentry takes place at a time when the world is assumed to be under mascu- line sway--at least the sartorial world. Yet what is more feminine than a par- asol. Perhaps the answer is a fan; but that is the one exception, Also, curiously enough, at a time when "Directoire" is on everyone's tongue, the -most approved parasols have handles as short and as thick as a club. The tall slender Directoire cane has little in common with the sturdy walking stick the model girl swings as she sets forth on a cross- country hike. From the decorative and delightful colored Japanese umbrellas carried on smart beaches, to the beruffled silks is a far cry. There seems to be noth- ing omitted; everything seems '0 be possible in parasols. The one sketch- ed is an intricate combination of shir- red silk and a printed silk handker- chief in bold Chinese design, in per- fect accord, of course, with a handle of ebony and carved ivory. are other unique types, a few of which are indicated. For example, the ear- rings, bracelet, and chain are fashion- ed of cornelian alternating with gold- dipped porcelain beads, which brings to mind that 'luminous silver and gold beads are a fad of great interest just now; chokers of huge beads being among the several popular types. Slaves' links are still being worn; among the newest are those made of links of alternating metals. Onyx was used for one bracelet; this alternating with green gold, again bringing to mind the pertinent fact that Parisien- nes are again taking an interest in gold settings.
