On the Piazza

The summer girl is making mats Of
corset strings this year.
This Is not much more far-fetched
than the shoestring craze, which died
a natural death some time ago.
Another bit of needlework that is
both attractive and practical is the
huck towel embroidery.
One girl has made a gem Of set,
stock and belt, of finest linen huck,
adorned with four-leaf clovers in nat
ural coloring that is most effective
with a tailored white linen gown.
Those more skilful with pencil or
brush can pass the time by making
pretty laundry lists and memorandum
covers. or. newer still. Is the age and

Another easy pastime Is making cov-

Six Girl Farmers

The scornful old question. What can
p girl?" is often answered nowadays
in convincing fashion by the girls
themselves. Not in so many words,
put by their lives.
I Six sisters who live near New York
actually conduct a farm, with their
brother, who is the youngest of the
family.
One may walk across their barnyard
without soiling ones boots.
OF the six girls the youngest is in
her teens; the eldest is not thirty.
The youngest is cook and odd boy"
Next to the youngest is the Cow
man"
She attends to twenty COWS and rears
the calves herself.
The next one has actually plowed,
though this work is u2ually done by a
man. At any rate. she does the SOW
ing.
Marketing and housework fall to the
next older one.
The pretty girl who owns to being
the oldest but one. is the carter and
gardener. while the eldest calls herself
the plowman. because she taught her
young brother how to plow. Her but
ter is famous.
They are up at sunrise, and in har-
vest time often work till 10 or II o'clock
at night. At other seasons they have
more time for music, reading, nature
studies in theory and other pursuits.
They wear long blue overalls cut TO
figure. Holland motor caps and heavy
boots and gloves whenever possible.
They break their own horses, through
break isn't the word, since they go
about it so early and so cleverly that
there's no ugly scene.
And they make it pay.
Their neighbors are wondering if
they viii stay for good or are merely
there for experience. e."-Baltimore

When You Go in
Swimming

The physician, slim in his blue fan
mel bathing suit. had his ears stuffed
with cotton.
This cotton" he. said, should be
used by all those who swim out beyond
their depth. You know how often good
swimmers of that type drown. don't
you? Their drowning Is imputed TO
cramp but you win never find one OF
the drowned with mis- ears stuffed with
cotton.
why? I'll tell you why. Because
it isn't cramp that causes these drown
ings. 1t is a perforation Of the ear
drum, followed by Inconsistencies,
due to the pressure Of the water.
'Cramp isn't. after all, the deadly
thing it is made out to be. If you get
a cramp in your leg while swimming,
1t is easy enough TO roll over on your
back and float. The cramp won't kill
you. But perforation Of the eardrum
is different. 1t takes away your senses
and down you go like a log. So al
ways, If you are going to do much
swimming, stuff cotton in your ears"

For Seashore Stayers

Never bathe when exhausted or in
ill-health. The practice of plunging
into the water after exercise is to be
thoroughly condemned.
Never battle when the body is cool
ing after perspiration. ...
A morning bathe may be taken by
those who are strong and healthy. be-
fore breakfast. on an empty stomach.
The young. or those who are delicate.
should bathe two or three hours after
a !, meal. and in the forenoon, If pos
sibie %
The signs which forbid open-air
bathing altogether are chilliness and
shivering after entering the water,
numbness Of hands and feet, and de-
fcient circulation generally.
When. the body is warm, bathing
may be INDUCED in. provided undress-
ing is quickly accomplished, and the
body is not chilled entering the water.
On leaving the water dry and dress
quickly. Standing about undressed
after leaving the water is, under any
circumstances. injurious.
Rather cut short than proiong the
bath Swimmers possess the power OF
remaining IN the water for a con-
siderable time. in consequence OF their
active movements: but even in their
case injury is often wrought by un-
duly extending the exercise. The
slightest feeling Of chilliness should be
taken as sign to leave the water at
once.
Those who experience any symptoms
after bathing-such as palpitation
and dizziness-should not again enter
the water without consulting a doctor

If She Had a Dog

IF had a dog" mused the old maid,
as she surveyed her sleek. sleeping
puss. there are several things I would
not do. wouldn't go calling with him
on a friend that owned cat. In fact,
wouldn't take him calling at all, 20
sc him run around my friends house
and chew up a pair OF rubbers or any
thing else ne might fancy
Il wouldn't permit him to jump on a
callers dress. leaving his dirty foot
prints on her best gown. and some
times tearing It with his paw.
Il wouldn't tie him up and go of
for the day. while he made life miser-
able for the nelghbors with his steady
bowling.
Il wouldn't take him shopping and
get him mixed UP with all the other
shoppers.
Il wouldn't permit him to hop on the
seat beside me in a car. so that the
next woman who sat down after he
had vacated would cover her gown
with dog hairs and probably take on a
flea or two.
II wouldn't interrupt conversation 70
call attention to how cunningiy ne
cooked his head on one side. or how
white his teeth showed when he
yawned.
Il wouldn't permit him to salute me
with his tongue, and then say, rapt-
urously. See how he kisses mel
II wouldn't tell about his valorous
deeds in killing cats, and make no
mention of the many times that a
two-by-four kitten had made him turn
tail and run for his life.
Il wouldn't well, wouldn't have a
dog anyway, as long as there were
cats in this world"
And she went out TO get the sleep

Lunch On a Hot Day

Go to a cool place.
A darkened room win be restful.
Take a table near an electric fan.
Order something in a tall thin glass
with ice tinkling therein.
1t can be lemonade or anything
harmless.
Order a cold salad OF some kind. ar
ranged on crisp green lettuce leaves.
Have also some thin bread and but

Top off with chilled fruit, or a whole
some plain ice.
You will feel 20 degrees cooler when
you go back to work.

Cray Garb For Travellers

''Have you ordered your new gray
travelling dress? Paris has decreed
them" SO runs the phrase frequently
heard from the woman who keeps up
with fashions mandates ''The new
color for travelling costume is a shade
OF grayish green, best known in con-
nection with mems light overcoats
This, carried out in covert coating
makes an exceedingly neat costume,
and every item Of the toilet is chosen
by the Parisienne TO correspond with

in exactly the same shade as the dress.

Dye-Faded Gowns

If you have some favorite cotton
frock that is stin perfectly good. but
has faded in noticeable manner, do
not discard it or even use it as a
knocka bout; it is suggested instead
that you visit the nearest dyeing
establishment. Almost any of these if
they follow in the wake of the best
known, will be able TO either bleach
the dress white. and this without rip
ping, or else dye it some shade you
may choose, a little deeper than the
original. This gives to you. with but
little expense and no trouble. a gown
that will last the season anyway. and
eliminates the idea that a faded frocl1
is only fit for the ragbag.

Prices Of Lemons High
Lemons are unusually high at this

drinks during hot weather. II o.

made, and IS one of the most cooling
drinks that has yet been invented.
The dealers find that 1t is almost Inn
possible to keep the fruit al this time
OF the year. The weather has been es-
pecially bad for them, and they decay
