BALLOON AMERICA II
IS STILL MISSING

TORONTO Oct. 24.-At GAS last
night balloon passed over Toronto
going east by south at a speed OF
about 40 miles an hour. The balloon
was several thousand feet up in the
air but in clear atmosphere a light
could be seen shining from the bal
loon.
Its present direction was straight
in the direction of New York city.
1t is thought that it was the missing
America II for which so much ap-
prehension Is felt.

A FRIENDSHIP CUSHION.

EROM a distance it had the effect Of
a wheel with spokes radiating out
ward or, II one had a poetical turn Of
mind. it could have suggested King Sol
himself with all his glory rays but on
closer inspection it resolved itself into
a friendship cushion.
Such a cushion is merely an elabora-
ton of the old teacloth idea. but the
effect is so good that it is worth copy
ing.
The cushion cover is made OF rather
coarse linen Of a soft green color. while
the embroidery is worked in a darker
green, although IT could be carried out
in any range Of colors selected by its
maker.
The center is composed of a big cir
Gle worked in satin and cross stitch.
In this circle are inscribed in bold let
ters the words. lie Temps Passe. ram
itie Reste" (Time passes. but friendship
remains). or some other appropriate
motto could be used. From the center
radiate faint pencil lines. and on these
lines friends of the cushions owner
have signed their names The sigma
lures are many and varied. and when
embroidered in stem stitch the effect
is wonderfully good.
A row Of featherstitching in another
shade Of green finishes Off the frill at
tachment to the cushion. while more
names border the well stuffed cushion.
The frills themselves have charming
little star shaped stitches to form a

"CAUSE FOR WOMEN"
AS MRS. BACON SEES IT.

JOSEPHINE DASKAM BACON has
ideas of her own about women and
their desire to do new" things What
she says by charming tales in her book
'In the Border Country" she has lately
said plainly in language free from ale
CORY.
THE only cause which interests me
in connection with women" declares
Mrs. Bacon. "is the systematic training
OF all girls with a view to the duties
and responsibilities inevitably assum-
ed by the great majority Of them. I
firmly believe that the result Of such
an education insisted upon in public
and private schools and colleges would
eliminate the Overwhelmingly greater
part OF the domestic service problem
IN this country and would. moreover.
allow women time and excuse for deal
ing with the socialistic. polite and eco

Don't wash IL oftener. II cleansing is

cold cream. Washing the face too
frequently removes the natural oil and
gives the skin a withered appearance.
Don't use hard water If you value
your complexion. The excess Of lime
in hard water neutralizes the oil in the
pores Of the skin, hardening the cuticle.
Don't be afraid of soap. 1t is not the
enemy of the complexion that many
people consider it. It is infinitely bet
ter for the skin than the dirt that col
lects in the pores of the skin during
the day to remain on all night.
Don't forget. however. TO rinse the
face with clear water after using soap,
because you don't want any left on the
face to clog the pores. once a day is
quite enough to use soap.

THE JUNE BRIDE
sa2ssNaSa1S

81 SN'T this wedding gown a win
ner? It's a recent creation turned
III out by one of the smartest of New
York dressmakers for a prospec-
tive June bride. The frock is simple,
elegant and girlish, and the material
used is a satin lumine, a shimmering,
soft satin that is proving a favorite Sc
lection for the summer bridal gown.
The skirt is clinging and absolutely
plain, depending upon its long grace
full lines for distinction.
The guimpe and sleeves are of pin
dotted net shirred on cords. The bod
ice drapery is hand embroidered in
floral design with heavy white silk.
parts of the flowers being studded with
tiny seed pearls
The tulle veil is long and full. reach
ing to the extreme end of the dignihed
square train, where II is caught with
a large spray of orange blossoms. It
is made on a covered wire shape to
keep 1t from crushing the couture,
which is arranged high so that the
outline of the head is maintained. The
hair Is waved from the roots and worn
quite soft above the ears TO make a
becoming frame for the face. Ends Of
the hair are disposed of in coils or
bands around the head. but placed
rather high. A coronet Of the orange
flowers catches the veil to the hair.
High heeled slippers made of the
satin, with rosettes of tulle and orange
blossoms trimming the toes. and silk
stockings. embroidered between inlets
of real lace, compose the footgear.
The bridal bouquet a huge shower
affair, is of lilies of the valley and
white orchids.
Another June bride. a forceful little
woman who insists upon having her
original ideas carried out is having
her gown for the great ceremony fash
] toned from tulle embroidered with dull
seed pearls. The overdress Of this
material is to be placed over a foun-
dalton OF soft white satin. AS white
satin is not becoming to her she de-
cideC to lessen the whiteness Of the
costume by TIE use of a pale pink un-
derslip.
Nowadays women who contemplate
formal weddings are throwing tradi-
tions to the winds and are planning
their trousseaus with two very i'm
portant facts in mind-the becoming
ness Of the style to the wearer and a
note of individuality that is distinc-
tive.

NEM FOOD rHEoRY.

A well known physician said: Most
people eat too many different articles.
and nearly every one eats entirely too
much If you would eat less in guam
tity. masticate more thoroughly and
avoid such a great variety. combining
the meal to two OF three articles. the
digestion would be carried on to a far
greater advantage. It is not right to
eat a combination of various articles
of food.
you eat all you require OF one or
two articles Of food. and then you pro-
coed to tickle the appetite with half a
dozen other foods, while If your meal
had been confined to two or three ar
ticles you would not have eaten half as
much.
'The less you eat to maintain health
and strength and the vitality that is
essential the longer the human ma
chinery win wear. the longer you will
live, the fewer diseases YOU will have
and the stronger you will be in every
conceivable way. Variety in food is in

What to Do With
The Stupid Child

WHAT TO do with the stupid child is
a question Of vital Importance to
many mothers and one that admits Of
many theories. Some people think like
the old farmer who. when told to look
after his sick sheep, said: ITS no but
waste to cosset them. II they're worth
it they'll win through by theirsels." An
other theory which has many expo
nents is that judicious punishment is
a sharpener Of wits and a cure for
a lack Of comprehension sweepingly
termed "obstinacy."
But a child is such an enigma TO the
grownup person that harshness is al
ways a mistake. for the adult can only
vaguely guess the workings Of little
brains and the meaning of the ex-
pressionless little face and cannot
plumb the depths TO which a harsh
word may sink The troubles of the
early years are very real and often
leave an impression which lasts
through life.
A child may be really dull. In that
case il is of no use to wound the ten
der. sensitive heart by disparaging
criticisms. On the other hand, what Is
thought TO be stolid stupidity may be
merely the mask Of a contemplating.
self analyzing disposition.
A character such as Barrie describes
in his Sentimental Tommy" would

IN HOUSEKEEPING TIME.

WHEN the general spring cleaning

that woodwork wants special treat
ment. First it should be washed

White paint should be washed, piece

cloth dampened with water and a lit
tie whiting If the paint is very much
soiled. As a last touch IL should be
dried thoroughly with soft flannel or
chamois leather. Gritty soaps for
washing paint should be carefully
avoided.
Neither waxed nor vanished wood
work stands any scrubbing with soap
and water, but It is improved by be-
ing wiped with a slightly damp cloth
mixture of equal parts of turpen-
tine and linseed oil renews vanished
woodwork and hoors but very little

should be rubbed until absolutely no
film of oil remains on the surface of
the wood
A waxed floor needs only a new coat
of wax and a new polish If too much
wax is used the surface will be gum
my and should be thinned with tur-
pentine. It is an extra improvement
before the floor is waxed to treat it
to a mixture Of turpentine, linseed oil
and little Japan drier.
Gift furniture and gilt frames are
improved by being covered with a
paste made of alcohol and whiting,
rubbed off before it hardens.
An expeditions way to clean brass is
