BLUE SUMMER.

London, March 21.

It may have been the influence of Boat Race day that gave Sandown Park the "blues" for the firet day of the Grand Military Meeting.

If one may judge from the record number of well-dressed wives, daughtera, and sisters of Guards- men who came to see their men folk ride at Sandown it is certainly to be a blue Summer.

The only crepe de Chine dress to be seen was blue, and both Oxford

dresses with little coats, conts and skirts of velvet, and long coats of tweed reaching almost to the ankle.

As far as hat fashions are con- cerned, women had gone to the kit then for their inspiration. Lady Warrender, Lady Irene Cubitt, and Lady Hamond-Graeme had all chosen tiny crocheted caps with roll- ed edges that looked exactly like Baucers. Many women wore them at the very back of the head, and Lady Warrender's growing hair was curled up on the nape of her neck all round her cap.

The Hon. Mrs. John Barran, better known as one of the Ruthven twins, wore a moleskin fur coat. But she was the exception in the brilliant Summer-like sunshine.

"There is really no change in the figure-line Itself," she goes on to say, "except that by means of judicious corseting every curve is accentuated and lengthened.

The "scoop" movement in front, seen in all the new models, is designed to correct the dreadful "diaphragm roll," and, as well, to make women alt up straight. Specially placed splayed boning is employed for the purpose."

KITCHEN TOOLS.

During the last few weeks (says

u writer in a Home paper) fate, in the form of household influenza, has "It is folly that women should gent me battling with entirely un- spend money in this way," declared known elements in the kitchen, with Judge Terrell at Bromley County the result that a new rail of tools, Court on March 24, when alluding generally found in the workshop or to the variation in prices for per sewing basket, has been erected manent hair-waving.

The plaintiff in the action, Miss Davison, of Brixton, who claimed damages from Mme. Jannette, of Shortlands, alleged that injury re- sulted to her head when she had. her hair permanently waved in de- fendant's shop.

Miss Davison said that she had

her hair waved for 10s.

Mr. Wella: You know what the average price for permanent waving fa?-It varies,

Witness denied

that there was talk among the girls where she worked that they had discovered a hairdresser who did permanent waving at a marvellously low price. She said that she had a "terrific" headache shortly after leaving the shop, and had to see a doctor while on holiday at fracombe.

She consulted doctors in Ilfracombe and London for seven | months, and had to wear bandages on her head when she went to busi-| ness. She claimed £25 general damages and £10 for Hint.

Mr. Wells: Do you recognise that this represants, 400 packets of lint, enough to last you for ten years?- There was lotion as well.

What negligence do you complain of?The electric Irons should have been taken off immediately.

POTATOES A GOOD COLOUR.

Potatoes often discolour when left

in a saucepan after they are cooked. To prevent this, strain them, put them in a basin, steamer, or colan- der, over a pan of hot water, cover with a folded cloth and then with the lid, and leave on the side of the atove. A little milk added to thei water in which they are bolled will make old potatoes, a good colour.

An or diaary pair of household pliers from one of the sixpenny stores have solved that problem, and are equally valuable for getting an extra grip on sardine-tin openers or picking up anything hot. Circular wire nip- pers, too, have found a place on the rall, as they are more convenient than a knife for chopping off the legs of poultry, stiff stalks, and so on. From the workbasket a pair of scissora has been annexed for cut- ting parsley and mint. At the other end of the rail hangs a amall pincushion, with darning, needles reudy threaded with string for truselng or fixing round steam pud- dings as desired and pins for fixing the grease-proof paper for souffles.
