THE GRASS SHACK SHELTER FOR
AL FREsCo LIVING.
Boon for Those Who Are Planning for
the Coming Sum-

Written for The Evening Star.

Written for The Evening Star.
A cozy corner on the lawn is a necessity
| now. In these days of scientific by
giene and health hunting it is not
enough to sit your VIDE veranda
and breathe pure oxygen; you must
get out on the grass and down upon the
very bosom of Mother Earth and strive to
secure some of her precious electric and
| magnetic forces. This hunt for earth mag
netism has brought about the invention of
the portable bamboo and rattan summer
house, the striped cotton waterproof tent,
and cart loads of furniture, especially
adapted to use on lawn. Some families
have set their faces countrywards with the
avowed intention of all but sleeping on the
grass, and they have carried with them
what they call grass shack, but what
Is really one of the green rattan lawn shell
tiers.
These are light weight and beautifully
made: so light, indeed, that a couple of
strong ten-year-old boys can put it in place
and carry it about The shelter, whatever
it is made of, is built with three walls
and a slanting roof and on fair days of
moderate temperature it is delightful to sit
under its fretted shade and take in the air
from all points of the compass. If the sun
is too hot if there comes up a shower,
curtains OF green waterproof awning can
be drawn, to shut out heat and moisture,
leaving the front of the shack still wide
open. The floor of the shelter must be the
fresh green grass, and every day the rat
tan should be set up in a new place
in order to preserve the lawn from injury
and also in order to gain the benefits ac-
cruing from sitting and lying on fresh, vital,
springy, grass-tufted earth
Along with the shelter must be purchased
complete set of lawn furniture. 1t con-
sists of tables and benches and chairs made
of light green wood, and for people who
draw write out of doors, and also prefer
to eat under bamboo shelter, green monks
bench is the greatest boon. This is not
heavily built that it cannot be pulled about
easily, and it's broad back swings at need
into a ample steady table top. Beside this
there is a folding green reading and sew
ing table that can be stretched to do duty
as a ping pong board, and by the heart
it can be lifted and carried by two delicate
women.
To use with these they make, of canvas
and of close-woven Japanese mating, fold

that is stained green and polished, a TRAN
gular square set of benches lines the
walls of the shelter, and a tea table to
match occupies the center of this outdoor
apartment.

be had far more reasonably, and a smart

never pretended that the maid had been
married. but always said that she was de-
seconded from Pierre dare, the brother OF
the heroine. This Pierre was an interesting
parsonage, ennobled by Charles VII, and
the question of his descendants has much
occupied genealogists. Ii seems however

therefore this good lady was not descended
either from Joan or her brother, but from
some branch of the family. Still, no doubt

Mrs. L. S. Webb
Vice-President Of Wonen's Democratic
Clubs of Northern Ohio.

PsHERE are many sickiy women between
II the ages of As and SIS. but there are very
few invalids over SIS or 60 years of age.
The change of life coming to a woman near
her forty fourth year, either makes her an In
valid or gives her new lease on life. Those
who meet this change in i'll health seldom live
ten years afterward, while who lays
aside the active duties of womanhood in health
seldom fails TO live on in happiness, years after
she has passed 90. During the change of life
the menstrual function gradually disappears.
This is truly critical time.
Mrs. Laura S. Webb of Toledo, Ohio, recog-
nizes the change of life as a dangerous period
and she also has faith in Wine of Cardui She
writes:

SMART BROWN SILK FOR WALKING

jority of young and pretty ones have leaned
to the collarless gown for afternoon and
country functions.
This idea is very clearly set forth in the
sketch of smart little embroidered blue
silk muslin, made up with garlands of
Lierre lace and deep fiounce of plain blue
null. Here we have elbow sleeves and
very fiat neck. A dog collar of blue Vene-
tian beads is clasped about the throat, and

necklets and chains. We have pretty trim
kets made of pink and white and pale green
shells that come from the shores of our
eastern islands. These shell chains are
very fragile, but they are also inexpensive,
and their wear adds great charm to the
simple muslin and dimity afternoon gowns.
A Smart String Brown Silk.
To fifty demonstrate the charm of the
high stock is to call attention to a smart
string brown silk warp linen, a goods that
has just come to town and that is sketched
in one of it's first and most attractive
