entered an assembly of friends he removed his
helmet, confident that he was safe in their
presence.

club known to its founders as "The Maya
zine Club" has for its members four girls, who
while anxious to read tho magazines cannot af-
ford to take them all. Each one subscrbes for
a different periodical, and then they regularly
exchange. Thus Miss Adams who buys the
Century, always, after keeping it three or four

takes the Cosmopolitan reads it, and passes it on
to Miss Crane. The last girl in the list hands
her periodical to Miss Adams, and it also goes
the rounds. When this is convenient it makes

very pretty bicycle hat was adapted by one
fair rider from little checked sailor cap gotten
from the boys department of store The hat
had full soft crown and band like Tam
OShanter, but the fulness was laid in pleats,
so that the hat was almost turban shape.
The check was brown aud white, and through
the narrow brown ribbon bow at the side she
stuck brown quill. 1t made jaunty, service
able little head covering, and was much moro

Summer dresses to be put away for the Win
ter should be washed, dried without either
being starched or ironed, and then put up
neatly. If print dress is to be washed for
the first time it is best to do it carefully. Many
people use salt to keep the colors bright. The
gown is put to soak for few minutes in luke
warm water and plenty of salt. Then it is
washed with very little soap and rinsed with
little clear water which il only slightly
salty. 1t is dried in the shade. After the first
washing such great care need not be taken.
