Coverings for Cushions.

will stand laundering, such as denim,
linen, Bingham and turkey red cali.

more serviceable than the goods found
in Mozambique curtains, as 1t bears
all kinds Of hard usage and exposure
to the weather. To make the covers
so they can be removed and Numbered,
fasten q row Of buttons on one edge,
under the ruffle; work buttonholes to
correspond; or the ends can be tied
together with ribbons. All of these
cushions should be covered with good
strong ticking under the outer cover
II you wish to embroider these cush-
ions use bold, conventional designs

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE.
OF Course the Story Teller Didn't
Really Mean Just That

A gentleman recently returned from
that quiet little Maryland resort,
Ocean City, has tale to tell of con-
ditions that are really sensational.
And the worst of it was that he did
not know they were sensational at all.
He was out calling the other evening,
and the conversation started with the
shirtwafst man, who, the returned
wanderer said, was to be found In
great quantities at the summer resort.
Then he told about the habit every
body down there had contracted of
going without hats. This is the way
he told it to an interested company:
You see everybody down there
going about just the same. The men
never wear coats; they go about in
just their Shirts and trousers, and the
women are Just like them"

FOR LUNCH BASKET
APPETIzINe DISHES EASILY PRE-.
PARED.
Cheese and Olive Sandwiches Are
Something of a Novelty and Will
BE Liked-Uses fer To-
mate and Cucumber.

For Cheese and Olive Sandwiches
Work q cream cheese soft with hut
ter and cream and add to it half as
much bulk of ripe olives, chopped
fine. Season to taste with salt and
white pepper or paprica and spread
the mixture on buttered bread, cut in
thin slices. This is especially good
on whole wheat or Boston brown
bread, although 1t is also excellent on
white bread.
No one who has once eaten and en-
joyed the ripe olives is likely to care
much again for the ordinary green
olives.
Ripe Tomato Sandwlches.-Prepare
q French dressing and dip into it
slices OF raw tomatoes peeled. Lay
these between slices of thin white
bread. buttered. Prepare these sand
witches only short while before they
are to be eaten or they win become
soggy.
Cucumber sandwiehes.-These may
be prepared in the same way as the
tomato sandwiches. cutting the cucum-
Der into very thin slices. Always trim
the crust from the bread and cut the
sandwiches rather small. They are
much more dainty thus prepared

PUT IT IN GOOD LIGHT.
One Comforting Thought In the Death
Of the Chickens.

A lady who had recently moved ID
the suburbs was very fond of her first
brood Of chickens. Going out one az
ternoon she left the household In
charge OF her eight-year-old boy. Be.
fore her return thunderstorm came
up. The youngster forgot the chicks
during the storm, and was dismayed
after it passed to find that half of
them had been drowned. Though
fearing the wrath to come, he thought
best to make clean breast of the
calamity, rather than leave 1t to be
discovered.
Mamma" he said, contritely, when
his mother had returned, mamma, six
of the chickens are dead"
Dead" cried his mother. "Six!
How did they die?"
The boy saw his chance.
Il think think they died happy"
he said.-Harper's Weekly.

Starch were used. In order to get the

BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
