shantung for Summer.

For comfortable summer suits, fine
serge with shantung for the coat, both
in the same shade, is being employed.
Such suitssare finished simply, the
only braiding often being on the turn
down collar, which comes only to the
side of the front and around the
sleeves at the hands and possibly
above and below the elbows.
The fancy for trimming sleeves
around and around at different parts
of the arm is a growing one. A waist
which a girl has just embroidered for
herself has a band of embroidery near
the shoulder, another on the arm be-
low the elbow and another u. the
wrist.

Copyright. by Daily Story Pub. Coz

Plato Dobbs lay with his head just
visible beneath the patchwork quilt,
and one arm stretched across the top
of the covers. His fist was clenched,
and whenever he emitted an unusu-
ally loud snore he wrathfully smote
the bed clothing. Plato was evidently
having unpleasant experiences in the
land of dreams.
His wife, clad in a dressing gown,
sat on the edge of the bed, watching
him. She made no move to arouse

One Cause of Neck Boils.

Neck boils come with the sweaty
season. Many people have large hair
pores on the back of the neck. The
sweaty, starched collar rim is good
culture soil for boil and carbuncle
germs, which get rubbed into the
large hair follicles or sacks, producing
painful, sometimes dangerous
spreading crop.
