StarGSh.

Starfshes commit suicide. When one
is caught in Il net it dissOlves its cor
poration into a dozen or so Of frag-
ments, and the pieces escape through
the meshes. In time each becomes Il
perfect animal. To preserve the star
fish whole it must be plunged into 4
bucket of fresh water before it has
time to take the alarm. Fresh water
is instant death to it, and thus only
can some varieties Of the starfish be
preserved.

For Outdoor livino.

Open-air meals for< the family are
most desirable. The fresh air sharp
ems the appetite, and anything tastes
better out of doors: A wire-screened
porch makes most desirable summer
dining room. A similarly protected
enclosure likewise makes a most de:
sirable ''camping-out" place for Sleep
ing in hot nights. Indeed, one is most
fortunate who can command such an
insect-proof, fresh-air sleeping apart
ment for the entire season.
There are many who have neither
porch nor shade trees to protect from
the rays Of the sun, but there are
many substitutes. One woman stitch
ed together breadths of unbleached
muslin, sewed rings to the four cor.
ners, and attached these to her clothes
line posts, thus making a canopy
under which the household enjoyed
cut-of-doors living. Another family OF
whom we have read, lad constructed
a light, houselike frame, rooted with
canvas. inclosed with netting. and
mounted on rollers so that it might
follow the sun or shade, as desired
If one has the purpose to get the
benefit of outdoor living, there are
many ways to accomplish it, with
wonderfully good results.

Real Mint Sauce.


Mint sauce is usually delusion and
a snare, being merely very sharp vim
egar and few fragments of tasteless
mint leaves. Real mint sauce is an
other thing. Here is recipe vouched
for by an experienced cook: Let the
water from the cold water tap run
over a bunch of mint until it is per.
fectly clean of dust, strip the leaves
from the stalks, tear them in small
pieces, and put in a bowl. Pour boil
ing water over the mint, and cover
the bowl closely. A little sugar may
be added with the hot water, as it
helps to bring out the flavor of the
leaves. Make roux of tablespoon.

SIMPLICITY Of Stocks, 6

There is a noticeable simplicity in
stocks this year and the idea seems to
be to have the neck pretty without
making the stock too high and too
tight
Stocks are high and made Of soft
stuff which can be wired if one wants
to keep the stock very stiff. The stock
Is not worn as high as it was nor as
tight and headaches are growing few

stocks to be purchased and the woman
who wants to have her neck comfort
able can lay in dozen of these little
linen tritles and wear them every day.
They come in little stand-up collars

are embroidered while others / are

Little Miss Peters toiled up the
three flights of steps to her tiny hall
bedroom. She threw her. bag on the
bed and walked deliberately to the
mirror, only stopping to throw open
the blind for more light She sat
down deliberately before the hideous
little glass and began to take another
inventory of her good looks.
Not even one who loved her-she
smiled bitterly at that thought-could
call her pretty. She was homely. Not
with that piquant sort of plainness
that is almost as attractive as beauty,
but with sort of ugliness.
The forehead bulged, the eyes were
dull and sunken, the cheeks presented
no contours to speak of, and the whole
expression was owlishly pathetic.
She examined each feature as CAL
lously as if it were statue she were
appraising. The face was the same.
AS hateful to her as ever. She closed
her eyes wearily. She was plain, un-
attractive-ugly. And if one ever
wants good looks it is when she is
twenty. Miss Peters was barely that,
but she looked almost any age, up to
forty.
She slipped the pins out of the tight
an shook her hair down over her
shoulders. 1t was not pretty hair. 1t
was thin and scraggly and mouse col
ored. In the hand mirror she raised
to get a glimpse of her profile she
could see her bent little shoulders
reflected. A bookkeeper who bends
over her work from eight in the morn
ing until six at night rarely has pref
ty shoulders.
And seventy-fve dollars is not much
to pay girl who does the work of
two men. Miss Peters sent fifty dol
lars of this amount home every month
After her board was paid, little was

into the habit of talking to herself),
Il wouldn't care if l were ugly and

buried her face in the pillows and be-
gan to cry. Il never have any fun"
She lay staring at the ceiling, thinking
hard. And her thoughts were even
more pathetic than her face. One by
one she took the girls in the boarding
house, and studied their faces from
memory-and their friends. There
was only one of them who had ever
manifested the slightest friendliness
for her and that was Miss Mathis.
She did not wonder that people loved
Miss Mathis and thought her beauti-
ful-she was. She reminded Miss Pet
ers always of a queen who had stray
ed somehow into a cheap boarding.

to know and love the least of her SUBJ

hair and eyes was so beautiful and

ing, she ran lightly down to the din
ing room. She did not see, fortunate
ly, the elevated brows behind her
back, or hear any of the whispered
comments on her appearance. 1t was
pity she did not know that one man,
Mr. Hughes. the kindly-faced new
boarder, was disappointed in her. Be-
fore this he had felt a certain shy
friendliness for the modest little book
keeper, who reminded him somehow
of fragrant clover blossom in a
bunch of artificial flowers. And so,
ne was thinking, as he watched her
f1ippant and painted. that she was like
the others, after all. He felt a mild
sort OF pity that he could not have ex-
planned to himself, but all the time
he knew that the others were making
fun of Miss Peters behind her back.
But the little bookkeeper, with an
almost fierce gaiety, was chattering
next to her. After dinner she followed
the others in the parlor, still deter.
mined to be one of them. Her CON-
panion at dinner was at her heels, en-
couraging her. Later she went to sit
on the steps to the side gallery with

ably. "Daisy smoked one with me
last night" For an instant Miss Pc
ters' face went white under the paint
with anger. Then she remembered
she must be like the others if she
wanted to be popular. No one could be
popular and be prig.
She reached out for the cigarette,
and the young man offered her light
from the one he was smoking-and
moved up nearer. Two whiffs of the
cigarette turned her deathly faint.
''1>think I'll go up to my room," she
faltered, throwing it aside with lit
tie forced laugh.
Don't go" he begged. "Ain't you
game enough to finish it? Must be
your first one."

her disgust for her companion. Good

dropped on her knees beside the tiny
white bed.

and passed whistling to his room at
