Woman and the Home 
From Day to Day. 
THE HOME PORT. 
We have gone down to the sea 
With her brine on our fearless lips, 
From her grasp we have laughed as free 
When she raged for her tithe of ships; 
Unmoved at the feet of Death 
We have fought his seething foam: 
But now we choke with the quick-drawn 
breath ; 
We are rounding in towards home! 
There’s a glint of gold in the southern 
sky, 
And the luring spice winds croon 
From lands in a zone o' sun that lie 
In a golden afternoon ; 
But far and away where the gray clouds 
frown 
There's harbor for sails that roam; 
And sweeter than song the gulls scream 
down 
The brine-burned winds of home. 
Home! and the crimson sunset burns. 
And the white-churned foam leaps forth 
■ As the heart to its one true point returns, 
Like the needle trembling north ! 
Sing home, old ship, to the song o’ the 
gales 
That tbi> grizzled rollers comb, 
Too slow, O winds you fill the sails 
The sails that spread toward home! 
—Edith Pratt Dickins.

One of our friends says that an qIcI 
kid glove, with an extra pad of kid in 
the palm of the hand, is an excellent 
protection against scorching on ironing 
day. Even with the most improved 
flatiron, the ascending heat causes con¬ 
siderable discomfort to the unprotected 
hand. 
* 
Did you let the fires out this Spring 
early enough to supply all the family 
with hard colds, while saving a little 
extra fuel? A good many people are 
addicted to that form of economy, 
though we think money spe..t in flax¬ 
seed and cough syrup is worth as much 
as that spent in coal or cordwood. 
* 
If you wish to lengthen the sleeves 
of last year’ lingerie waists you will 
find that most of the full elbow 
sleeves give material enough to cut 
tight sleeves three-quarters long by us¬ 
ing the width to furnish length; then 
a gauntlet cuff can be made with tucks 
and lace. The tight upper part is us¬ 
ually more becoming, if there are some 
crosswise tucks or insertion. Of course 
when very warm weather comes we 
shall regret the lost comfort of short 
sleeves, but at present it is the evidence 
of a last season’s waist. 
* 
Salmon chowder is nourishing and 
appetizing, and may often be prepared 
as an emergency fish dish. . Chop fine 
one-quarter of a pound of fat salt 
pork, put into a deep kettle with one 
small onion chopped fine, and cook 
slowly until the onion is pale brown. 
Add one tablespoon ful of flour, stir 
for a moment, add one pint of boiling 
water and stir until smooth and boil¬ 
ing. Drop in one pint of diced pota¬ 
toes which have been parboiled .for 
five minutes, and simmer for 10 min¬ 
utes. Add the liquor drained from a 
can of salmon and the fish, which has 
been freed from skin and bones and 
broken in large flakes. Add one-half 
leaspoonful of salt, and one saltspoon- 
ful of pepper, cover and simmer until 
the potatoes are tender, but unbroken. 
Pour in one cupful of hot milk and 
three broken pilot biscuits and simmer 
for a moment more.

New waterproofs now shown are cir¬ 
cular in shape, going back to the old 
style of years ago, and made wonder¬ 
fully smart by the attractive color and 
material. There is an opening on 
each side to put the hands through, and 
an inlaid collar of silk or velvet. The 
cloak is very full, coming to the bot¬ 
tom of the dress, and is fastened by 
three large fancy buttons near the top. 
There is good sense in the circular 
waterproof, which can often be used 
to better advantage than the tight-fit¬ 
ting waterproof cloaks that have been 
worn for a few years past. Traveling 
coats of heavy tweed often take the 
place of a waterproof in cold weather, 
as it takes long exposure to rain to

soak through the firmly-woven wool; 
these are usually cut on conservative 
lines after a semi-fitting ulster model. 
Spring and Summer traveling coats 
are of serge, which is now a favorite 
material for women’s suits and coats; 
they are full length, silk lined and very 
plainly cut, but often finished with 
large fancy buttons. Among the serge 
tailored suits, where the long cutaway 
coat is fastened by one button only, 
this is often of cut jet, very large and 
handsome.

Some of the fashionable new shoes 
are rather startling to a conservative 
person, for they are showing a surpris¬ 
ing range of color, blue, green, bronze,

lavender, gray and maroon being most 
noticeable. The bronze kid in high 
boots, pumps and ties is very attractive, 
a return to the fashion of many years 
ago; and some of the high bronze 
boots have white pearl buttons. I he 
deep red or maroon, in calf or kid, is 
not so pretty. The green and blues, 
largely in castor or suede, are expect¬ 
ed to be worn with harmonizing cos¬ 
tumes, and are mainly in the sage, 
olive, willow and slate or gunpowder 
shades, as well as a great variety of 
grays and browns. Among the new 
shapes, ankle-strap pumps are quite a 
change, but a very convenient one, 
since the wearer no longer risks the 
loss of her shoe. The leather strap 
comes from the back around the ankle 
like the little slippers, so long worn 
by English children. These pumps j 
have a good welted sole, and are pretty 
in suede or patent colt, the latter being 
a little heavier and better wearing than 
ordinary patent leather. The sailor ties, 
with one eyelet or a buckle and a 
pointed tongue are very pretty, espec- 
iallv in russet or tan.

The Magic Dyepot. 
Coloring is an art, but a very simple 
one. It seems, indeed, like magic to 
change faded garments to look as good 
as new, by rising barely a tablespoonful 
of a powder dissolved in a quantity of 
water, and using only a little common 
salt as a fixative. I was skeptical at 
first as to the desirability of any color 
1 could make on cotton goods. Silk and 
wool take colors more easily. But I 
bad a plain colored percale apron which, 
though not at all worn, was faded to 
a dull light blue. 1 thought I would 
dye it dark blue, and then make use of 
it as a quilt lining. So I bought a pack¬ 
age of dark blue dye for cotton, and 
colored that and several other faded blue

garments. To my surprise they “took" 
a very good color and have kept it well 
so far, having gone through several 
washings without fading or crocking. 
I did not cut up the apron for piece¬ 
work as I had intended, for after color¬ 
ing it looked as good as new. Its use¬ 
fulness had been restored. 
Today 1 made ready a sorry-looking 
collection, to try again the magic of the 
dyepot. There were two white pique 
waists, a faded yellow cushion cover, a 
child’s linen dress, once of the natural 
color, two blue shields and a very pale 
blue quilt lining. The entire lot was 
almost useless. Now there hangs on 
the line all these things in different 
shades of a medium dark blue color. 
They will he nearly as useful to me as 
so many new ones, and the half day’s 
work lias done as much towards getting 
the children’s «everyday clothes in order 
as would several days’ time spent in 
sewing, and there has been no expense 
for new material—just the 10 cents for 
the package of dye. f.
