(Success)
Possibly the youngest proprietor Of a
successful business i'm the United States

pared the way for her trade by having
q booklet printed which consisted Of
testimonials from physicians who had
bought her candy.
Another of her original plans was a
showcase at which all customers helped
themselves. In the case were neat
boxes of candy, and at one end were
double doors. Swinging from one of
the doors was a sign which read: open
these doors. Take what you wish.
Leave prices for goods taken. Make
your own change from my till. | trust

A Summer Soma.

We've sung about the wintertime-the
pleasures o the fall,
But summertime IL Georgia seems the
sweetest of 'eIl all.
\ perfect sky of blue,
And woodlands dripping dew.
And south-winds singing just as sweet as
mockingbirds 10 you,
Green bladed fields that tinkle and twin
kle in the light,
And the fleece of friendly burrows that
will robe a world in white,
The cool and shaded streams,
And twiight's mellowed beams,
With mockingbirds in morning, and whip
poorwillS in dreams,
Oh, winter was but weary, and came but
to destroy,
But summer has 4 lulling song, and
strikes the strings of joy,
Though in holly-shadowed hall
Rang the fddIer's merry call,
It's summertime in Georgia seems tho
sweetest of 'em all,

Sensible Gowns for Summer.

If YOU are starting out to make tn"
pure hases for these morning gowns
probably tie best choice would be in
these fabrics and these colors:
Two entire suits Of twelve and half
cent linen.
Three suits of cross-barred muslin
1T fifteen and twenty cents yard;
the bars very wide apart if you are
slender and tall; very close if you are
stout or short.
one cotton etamine, preferably i'll
ccru.
| double width.
One gray bingham, at twelve and a
half cents a yard.
One white. with cross-bar of black, at
twelve and a half cents a yard
This choice. with suit of duh fou-
lard or brilliantine. and your blouse
should put You on your feet, strongly
ana we'll for the morning wear of the
four hot months.
For these blouses buy pongee. Six
blouses of it is not too many to own.
Buy the American at sixty cents a
yard if you can't afford the Shantung
one of Japanese pongee, at fifty
cents q yard, would make you a charm
ing blouse for very hot days.
As for the designs that should gov
ern these morning frocks one thing
must be considered.
The twelve and half cent ginghams
in plain white are to be used extensive
~ for morning suits.
They wash better than any color
and they are cheaper than any color.
Coarse muslins, III large and vivid
designs. should be avoided.
broadly striped ginghams should be
passed by and left on the counters.
Tire new fabric, called cotton etam-
inc, is an especially good thing to
make use Of
1t comes in a very good color of
ecru and Will make up into the best
Of morning suits. 1t can be trimmed
with either white or black.
Mercerized chambray, at fifteen cents
a yard is excellent in ecru. All the
linens are fine, for they come in plain
colOrs. and are guaranteed to wash.
Plairness is questionable.
Simplicity is the thing to be at
tanned.
Between plainness and simplicity
there is great gulf fixed in the
amount of work.
The days are past when we could
make a muslin skirt with no trimming
but deep hem and plain blouse with
a ringer length of gathers in front.
The skirt must have ruffies and
tuclls The blouse must be simply
trimmed all over.
The gray Bingham. the ecru etamine
and the blue linen may not see the
wash tub more than once during the
season, and on them may be expended
more work.
The seven or five-gored skirts may
have circular flounce.
But on the white frock and the other
gowns that must be frequently washed
avoid deep circular ruffles.
The best style for blouses has the
flat side paits, either covering the
blouse or divided by band of lace or
Swiss embroidery.
For the linen gowns there comes a
linen curtain lace that women are
using.
1t is sold in the upholstery depart
ment.
You can buy it at some lace counters,
but you pay double the price.
That is an item to the rich as well
as the poor.-Philadelphia Press.
