What 70 ask and expect of people,
that-approximately-you get.
Trust begets honesty and openness.
Distrust is a natural breeding ground
for deceit and dishonesty.
When I hear woman complaining
of the dishonesty of her servant or the
people with whom she deals, I always
wonder very much if part of it is not
caused by what she lets herself ex-
tradespeople would be dishonest with
some one who expected honesty of
them.
A few weeks ago in the course of a
little boat trip I was anxious to buy
the ship stopped few minutes The
stopping time was limited by the
amount of freight to be taken on and
although l would very probably have
had plenty of time to get the fruit
did not quite dare risk being left be-
hind.
An honest looking boy was standing
on the wharf watching the loading
Taking out a dollar bill-the only
money l CHANGED to have-I held it out
to him and asked him if he thought
he could get up to the store and bring
me back some oranges before the boat
sailed. He said he thought he could
and started off
My companion looked at me in as
much horror as if she had seen me
throw my money into the water That's
the last you'll see of that money" she
said. DO you think that boys going
to get back here before he ship sails
when it means he'll be dollar in if
he doesn't?"
Just as the gangplank was being
1rawn up he came rushing down the
wharf. And happy as was to get my
change and my oranges and to dis

Home sewing rooms are in a state
of feverish haste where the finishing
touches are being bestowed upon a col
lege girls trunk All colleges and
boarding schools do not open for the
fall term at the same time, but the last
week of this month is very sure to find
classes in full swing.
Very attractive are the manish look
ing mixtures this fall. Self-colored
stripes prevail in this line of WOrsteds,
occasionally a bit of bright color IS
very distinctly introduced.
Suitings are of the rough and untin-
ished quality. Homespun cloths are
much in demand in plain and two toned
effects. Hopsack and basket weaves
i'm solid and meange designs are very
serviceable and decidedly smart in APP
pearance.
Besides these there are coverts, di-
agonals, whipcords and zibelines, and
our old reliable standbys serge and
cheviot in a most attractive assert
ment
Undoubtedly the favorite choice of
the college girl will be the long coat,
from "a to As inches.
Buttons are either a good distance
apart or close together. There seems
to be the preferred number. These
may be set above or below the waist
line. below is decidedly newer, but one
of the extremes that do not think adj
visable for the girl who cannot afford to
take up with whims. Belts are like
wise drawn below the Waistline.
A typically fitted garment is made
this year neither loose nor tight. The
mannish collar and cuffs are of black
MORE silk. The top of the coat is cut
rather low as are many of the newer
models. which permits the frilly neck
wear or blouse ruffle to disport itself
gracefully.
The sides of the coat are laid back
diagonally and may, if fancy dictates,
be lined with MORE silk This turning

+ SUGGESTIONS FOR Holiday +
+ GIFTS, :

Here are two suggestions for the
needlewoman who takes time by the
forelock and fashions her holiday gifts
during the summer days.
The fad for pertaining ones belong
ings has long been in vogue with the
dainty woman and seems at the present
time to be on the increase.
Charming little sachets are easily
fashioned from remnants of silk, bits
CT sheer muslin and lace. Two sachets
recently completed indicate the flower
by their color and fragrance. For eX-
ample, a handk erchief case in the fine
linen is hand embroidered in small
roses. the lining is pink satin and the
sachet is rose
A combination sachet, is espec :auy
useful when travelling and makes a
delightful gift. 1t is designed to con-
ties. glove and buttonhook.
1t can be made out of any pretty piece
of silk or brocade and lined with soft
silk of color to match or harmonic,
and bound at the edges with narrow
ribbon.
In the center is arranged a long
pocket for gloves, and above it, a small
ribbon strap is sewn into which pair
of gloves tretchers may be slipped On
the left-hand side is a pocket for
handkerchiefs, and on the right hand
side is a similar pocket in which air.

side is pocket of the same shape, as
the pocket for gloves, and this case is
intended for ties, while small loop of
ribbon sewn on just above it is for a
buttonhook.
The two side pockets fold over:

fastened with the ribbon bow.
Some pretty little floral design, or
the initials of the owner can be worked
on the front of the case.

Moyen Age Simplicity.

For dinner wear and the impromptu
entertainments is a pale coral PINK
frock. In some colleges at least a
showing of the low neck is required,
lar may be omitted.
This little frock is acharming adop-
ton of the fashioned moyen age style
suitable for either plain or figured ma
terials. For evening it is preferably
light in color The trimming consists
of satin bands, self-color, and narrow
braid of the same or contrasting hue.
Wool. silk or cotton wolfe, cotton
crepe. cashmere, serge, foulard or lin
en- suggest themselves, and for thin
ner materials, batiste, silk muslin or
i net. The chemisette and sleeves are
of a becoming material, batiste, satin.

For study hours and those hildri-
ously informal moments, just previous
to lights outs" when pop visits along
the corridors are in order, the full
length neglige becomes an important
possession. Fortunately expense has
little to do with it's beauty, for charm
ing ones may be made quite reason
ably at home.
Silk or cotton crepe are favorites.
so also are challis, nuns yelling and
Powered voiles. Plain materials are
trimmed with ribbon borders. Various
editions of the kimono. fitted and belt

French flannel and fiannelette in good
patterns and eiderdoWn are very cosy
and warm. Plain French hannels in

crushed, it usually happens that some
of the melting wax runs into the empty
cells which still remain in shape, being
held in this shape by the cocoons, and
it is next to impossible to remove any
of it. The soaking for a few days ahead
thoroughly saturates the cocoons as

the damaging of the entire mass by

into a cheese-cloth bag. Then put the
