SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH.
Boys Fervent Prayer Was Answered
in the Nick of Time.

A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. 1t CHANGED
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filled up, to the great de-
light of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that 1t threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
haSing a proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be
ing unable to, for some reason. he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits of
the plumber he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
20, Lord please stop this water
running! And, o, Lord, if you can't
do it, please send somebody that cam!
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.

cHILDREN's WRAPS ARE PLAIN.
Designs Show Much Less Elaboration
Than in Former Years.

New models in children's summer
coats and wraps are decidedly smart
and practical, for plain styles largely
prevail. Among those fashioned from
cloth the designs are simple, and the
heavier white goods, or even sheer
fabrics, show less elaboration than in
former years.
For instance, the jaunty box coat
covering the dress and closing double
breasted is the most popular model
for everyday or general wear, though
the graceful little wraps made on
empire lines are temptation when in
a child's size.
In materials the light weight
tweeds are favored, and nothing is
smarter than the small black and
white shepherds plaid. Plain cloths
in light weight are also fashioned in
box styles, but as a rule this fabric is
reserved for the more dressy coats.
The Sicilians and mohairs, both
plain and checked, will be used during
warm weather. There is nothing at
the price that wears so well, for it
sheds the dust quickly and soils are
easily rubbed or sponged off.

meals.
If one is the possessor of a house
in the suburbs or of a cottage by the
seaside, one is overrun by visitors
from any part of the country.
If they have at any time shown
counter hospitality one feels that one
must smile and make the best of it,
but if they are merely trading upon
relationship or a more or less close
friendship then indeed does one rebel.
Some may say that this feeling is
all wrong. One ought to be only too
glad to entertain friends.
But put yourself in the position of
a woman who, besides having the care
of several children, does the greater
part of her work herself.
