An Old Land country housewife says: When the fields and hills are glor- fous with the golden blooms of dan- delions is the time for the house- wife to set about storing her pantry with one of the most dglicious ot country beverages, namely dandelion wine. This delightful drink is not nearly so well known as it should be, as it is easily and cheaply made. For those who rather pride themselves on having things which are out of the ordinary, here is an old recipe, from which my family has made it for generations. The best time to pick the flowers is on a sunny afternoon, as a_sun bath enhances the distinctive dande- lion flavor. Only the heads are re- quired, and they should be snapped off as near the top as possible. A large enamel or earthenwaré crock is tequired., Measure the blossoms into it, pressing them well down in a quart measure and then pouring water over them in the proportion of four quarts of boiling water to two quarts of flowers. After twenty-four hours the mix- ture should be boiled for about seven minutes, After boiling, strain and measure back into the crock. When it is cool, add four sliced lemons and four sliced oranges and four pounds of granulated sugar to every gallon of liquid. Buy two penny- worth of yeas froni the baker, and spread it on a piece of toast and let it float on the liquid. It must now stand in a cool place for two or three weeks until fermen- tation ceases. Then strain it through muslin into bottles, and cork them well, The wine should be stored away for about a year, though it is quite drinkable after six months, _ Trouser Designs, - London, May 20.-Modern Eve's wish to wear bifrucated garments is|» being fostered quietly but persist- ently by fashion designers. Many trouser designs are being shown in the dress oaaloons, principally for '| smoking suits, slumber suits, bou- doir and rest attire. According to gossip they have a good sale among society dames, PADLOCK HAT That the dandelions are starring the grass and children are plucking them and fitting their long stems to- gether for chains. But soon these gay yellow blossoms will be gather- ed to make the dandelion wine so popular of recent years. We have come acros¥ an excellent recipe and will print it¥on the Woman's Page for the benefit of our readers. That blue in every shade is most popular this spring. Deep blue of the *"blue-bag" hue, pale blue for evening and for those to whom it is becoming, the lovely turquoise blue that goes so splendidly with golden hair, is the vogue. That just now the tulips in the C.P.R. gardens, the city park and Kingston gardens are at the height of their beauty aad the rain of Wednesday gave the grass a deep- er hue so the effect of gold, red and green is almost dazzling. That a swallow of an inquiring mind flew into the Y.W.C.A. through its hospitable open door one day this week and found hig way into the dining room. Here he was welcom- ed but his visit being unduly pro- longed the windows and doors were again opened to let him cnt. But the poor little bird could not find an opening, and after flying around the room always returned to his perch on the curtain pole. Night fell and the swallow was still a captive. So one of the ginl boarders, who is ||f mounted a | {i step-ladder in the darkened -room | |f devoted to wild things, and caught the bird. She placed him in a box in which she had made holes and gave him water, which he eagerly drank. Barly the next morning she released him, and after sitting for some time on a telephone wire he flew away, free once more, to catch insects for his breakfast. That the Canadians who hope to be presented at court this season will be relieved to hear that the court functions that were postponed on ac- count of the general strike will be held on June 9th and 10th and on July 7th and 8th.

Do not use prepared shampoos or-any- thing else that contains too much free alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruine it. The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo, which PRISCILLA DEAN is pure and Famous TE has ho greaseless, and is Pegi better than Anything else you can use. Two or three teaspoonfuls of Mulsified is sufficient to cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out eas- ily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and exeéess oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, flufty, wavy, and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut ofl shampoo at any drug store. It is in- expensive, and a few ounces will sup- ply every member of the family for months. Be sure your druggist gives you Mulsified. Beware of imi- tations. Look for the name Watgina on the package. EXPECTANL "It looks like I don't never get invited nowhere except when I've got a red nose to be ashamed of." A | WOMEN'S INSTITUTE ODESSA. The monthly meeting of the Wo- men's Institute was held in the Pub- He Library on May 5th.
