a mania for sailing. They were intro

A cottage by the ocean was rented by
the trio for the summer. Elizabeth
learned that a friend of her fathers was
to call. Two men called, one of them
being the Queer-acting stranger on the
steamer. The girls were mot at home,
but discovered by the cards left that one
of the men was EliZabeth's fathers

was told of the search for smugSlers In,

Mrs Graham to find that her life was

and quieted their fears.

Scraps Properly Treated Can BE made
Useful in Many Ways.

Never throw away scrap of lace,
large or small, real or imitation, even
If it be badly soiled, for 1t easily can
be washed and every scrap is worth
saving even IL it Is only enough to
trim a collar, add to a stock or finish
the end of tie, and you know piece
of lace seven or eight inches long
may be scanned at the two ends and
then be gathered tightly on the sci.
wedge to make dainty medallion to
insert into jabot or any OTHER little
thing.
Save all pieces of velvet unless they
are hopelessly soiled and worn. Brush
them carefully and roll on a cylinder
of cardboard and put away for future
use. They are sure to come In handy
at some time for trimming q collar,
piping waist, or even adding a wee
perky bow to the yoke of a waist.
The same treatment should be given
ribbons and scraps of silks and satin.
If carefully put away they will be
ready for refreshing a waist or gown
without any cleaning or preparation.
Even allowing for the pieces which
may be used, it will not take long be-
fore enough pieces have been saved
to make a handsome silk patchwork
quilt such as grandmother" used to
make or to have some of those stun
ming silk portieres made which blend
so well with the colors of almost any
room

Copied After Simple Pat .rns, They
Are Easily Made.

Maerame belts are usefrl and at
tractive gifts, and they are quite cas-
lily made after one has mastered any
of the simple patterns which are de-
scribed in needlework books. Both the
ecru and Irvine colored cord are used,
and frequently the two shades arc
effectively combined in medallion
belt, with the ecru running through the
center Of the strip and the lighter
shade forming string of ovals. An
other design of much simpler style has
a coarse meshed star figure forming
a strip 21a inches in width. The ends
of the woven strip are squared off and
slipped over buckle clasps. With tailor
shirt waists these belts are trim and
smart. The woman who does office
work will find them economical on &C.
count of their washable qualities.

When one has resting time forced

to get busy with the hair.

knows equally well what a sight she is
during the process. Therefore, instead

measles or Ruth end Bob come down

.Cigaretts And Wormy
Apples.

Drinking whisky is ruinous to
boys, but many claim that the
smoking of cigaretts is more than
dangerous; it is even deadly, cs-
pecially to the young. And yet
many parents allow their boys to
smoke as many cigaretts as they
want, and they are surprised when
these boys fail physically and men
tally. Pres. David Starr Jordon,
of Leland Stamford University,
California, who has had large ex-
perience with boys, says; "Boys
who smoke cigaretts are like wormy
apples. They drop long before the
harvest time. They rarely make
failures in after life because they
do not have any after life. The
boy who begins smoking Before his
fifteenth year never enters the life

the rights of the whiskey traffic,
has been called on to publish
very interesting communication
from Birmingham Ala, signed by
some Of the leading citizens OF BIZ

to give a portion Of the communl-
cation, but as evidence that good
can come of prohibition, even IN
large cities, it is one of the best
things we have seen. The signers
Of the card start out by saying:
eve do not assume to deny the
statement that there are some vlo-
lations of the prohibition laws IN
Birmingham, but we 100 affirm
that this is true of every law that
stands upon the statute books OF
God and man, so there is no argu-
ment over one side or the other on
this point.
We affirm further that condi-
lions in Birmingham ares superior
under the prohibition to what they
were with the open saloon that we
confidently believe 60 per cent OF
the decent citizenship of our COM
munity who opposed prohibition
in the campaign in October, l9O7,
