them, not the least Of which is that they are
cool n comfortable and have no finger
tips to wear out exasperatingly.
Now it is the photograph handkerchief.
Already some very pretty collections have
been made, and besides, scores Of pretty
articles Of house decoration nave been con-
structed out Of them. The photograph
handkerchief ends itself to a variety OF
uses.
AS its name implies, it is a photograph
on a handkerchief. Although for some
little time heads nave been reproduced
like, not until now has it been possible to
go into a photograph gallery and have ones
picture taken on a handkerchief.
The uses to which these handkerchief
may be put are many, not the least inter-
esting of which is to make the cover OF q
sofa or divan cushion in ones own room OF
squares of linen on which the likenesses OF
ones best friends appear. Or there may
be a series of poses of just one person.
Quite a bit of sentiment attaches TO the
fad. The exchange of ~handkerchiefs. as
we'll as the making Of collections of them,
Is likely to become as popular as the col
lecting Of postal cards.
Drug stores that have soda fountains
are making more money than ever from
the sale of ice cream soda this season
owing to the fact that women with canine
pets have taken to feeding them on the
frozen beverages. In some stores special
receptacles are kept for the dogs use and
they sit up at the counter like humans
tapping their soda from low fiat dishes.
Occasionally the ice cream alone is fed
to the animals on the floor. The proprietors
Of stores don't like the idea, but women
declare that their dogs are just as good
as they are and if the former are refused
they will quit the shop; consequently to
keep the custom the druggists don't refuse
to serve dogs.
How to Be Happy Though Married
Is the title of the book selected in pref
erence to q long list Of fairy and other
stories by a small girl Of 10 as a prize for
winning a puzzle contest. No amount of
persuasion by the family could change her
decision and she is now the proud owner OF
the volume, and is as happy as though
she had just donned her first long dress.
The cultivation of a pretty speaking
voice is a practice growing among women
in this country. One physician in New
York who makes a speciality of treating
the voice is putting his patients who have

and vocal chords. Much of the unpleasant
quality noted in women's voices in and about
New York is due to the effect Of the damp
ness Of the climate
One of the most valuable of fruits for this
purpose is the pineapple, now in its most
perfect condition. For tonsilitis and
quincy the fresh fruit or even the canned
variety in prescribed.
Tomatoes are thought to help in giving
a smooth, mellow voice One or two a
day should be eaten raw. Oranges, lines
and lemons are also effective in rendering
a hoarse, piping voice soft and flexible.
Accompanying the new bathing suits
this season are little silk bags which are tied
securely about the wrist and are meant
for one's valuables. With a bright Scotch
plaid silk there is a bag Of the same mate
rial, and with a black and white checked
silk there is one to match.
1t should be unnecessary to say that these
accessories are not for the athletic girl
who goes in for swimming, but for the beach
~promenader who dons a stunning bathing
suit for a sun bath and a promenade close
TO the waters edge.
