BABY'S NAP IN WARDROBE
CAUSES FATAL DELAY
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie;
Our vacation this summer was to be
especially delightful, as we We're plan
ming to go east to visit our friends
and relatives and to have good time
generally.
We had been packing and dress
making for weeks, and 1t seemed to
me as if the time for departure would
never come, but it did finally.
We had just fifteen minutes in
which to catch our train. 1t gave us
plenty of time, for we did not have far
to go. We picked up our suitcases,
valises and bundles, locked the doors
and started out. We had not gone
far when father missed the baby.
There had been such confusion at
home before we left that we had en-
tirely overlooked her, but we immedi-
ately went back to find her.
She did not come when we called,
nor did we find her when we hurried
ly went through the house. 1t began
to look very serious, but | was so de-
termined not to miss the train that
l formed a searching party.
l began in the attic. The last room
left to look in was mothers, and
was thoroughly discouraged when l
began in there. l looked everywhere
but in the wardrobe and, thinking it
was useless to look there, 1 started
to go downstairs, but something
seemed to pull me hack to that ward
robe. When 1 opened the door of it I
instantly caught sight of something
white lying in the far corner.
After some investigation. the some
thing white" proved to be my sister
Louise. Unceremouiously picked her
up, half dragged and half carried her
down to the hall where mother and
father were waiting.
Without any explanation we made
our way to the depot, but it was too
latei We could see the train putting
and snorting ahead of US in the dis
tance!
At this I was heart broken, but was
consoled on being told that another
left in an hour. Now seemed the time
for the explanation of baby's hiding.
1t was simply and quickly told in her
baby way: "Muvver said, you bower
me-, so 1 went to sleep in her ward
robe" ADELE AXTMAN,

GRANDMOTHER HAS A SURPRISE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The Borden family-uncles, aunts,
cousins, and even the dear little
grandmother-were going camping
among the great trees at Yosemite.
Every one was excited and hurried
here and there trying to do everything
at once. But little grandmother sat
calmly in her chair waiting for every
one to get ready.
At last they were Off but between
bundles and children there was no one
left to look after grandma. This little
woman told them she could look after
herself.
The happy crowd got on street car
and off a little later, and decided to
walk the remaining three blocks, as
there was no depot car in sight.
Pretty soon some one said, "Why,
where's grandma?"
Where was grandmother? No one
seemed to know. Every one made
suggestions they all stopped. Some
telephoned back to the housekeeper
and to the end of the car line, others
hunted through the crowd, but to no
avail.
"Wen," said Papa Borden, "Tll see
you folks on the train and then stay
here until | find grandma" So they
started on again with a subdued air,
each blaming himself for the sad acci-
dent
As they entered the depot they We're
greeted by a sweet, excited old lady
pulling after her a big, amused man.
why children" she said, "why didn't
you take the car, and just look what
you missed.
20, Uncle john" was the children's
glad cry, why didn't you come to
see us?"
"Why, I thought you had already
gone on your trip, so I attended to my
business here and started for the depot,
when / met grandmother, who looked
like she needed an escort"
The family looked rather sheepish
at this little hint and said, "We'n
never let it happen again."
Grandmother said, with a twinkle in
her eye, Never mind, children, for you
see I can take care of myself" Your

A HAPPY VACATION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was nearing vacation and Madge
and Edward Clark We're very happy.
As soon as school was out they and
their parents and little brother Will
liam were goirg on camping trip TO
the beach. The tine soon came and
they were up early one morning and
had everything ready at o'clock to
start on a very long ride. Just as the
happy family were getting in the wa
gon, a buggy drove into the yard. The
children soon saw it was their aunt
and cousins, Robert and Hetty.
They were very glad to see each
other and the trip was given up for
two or three days. Then both families
went to the beach together.
When they got there they put up
two tents and fixed all the things in
them.
Then the ladies sat on the sand while
the children waded in the water and
Mr.. Clark fished from the rocks. About
o'clock in the afternoon the children
rode horseback and took the horses to
water about a mile from the camp.
When they got back they walked up
the beach gathering moss and shells
Then they ate lunch and told stories
and sang songs in the moonlight. That
was the way they spent their first day
at the beach. They spent about twen-
ty such days as that wading in the
water, playing in the sand, riding
horseback, talking with other children,
singing, and telling stories. They all
declared they had never had such a
fine vacation.

basket picnic, when my father ex-
claimed:
"Ohl forgot the lunch. Fred, run
and fetch it,"
When Fred came with the heavy
basket and got in, father gave the
horses a cut with the whip and they
jumped, breaking a trace, which de-
layed us a half hour You may guess
that this long wait made me nervous.
At last father got the trace mended
and we were off. We passed many
pretty cottages, and / saw hen with
her family OF little chickens in new
ly plowed field. A little lamb got
scared at our dog, but Rover would
not hurt a little lamb, I'm sure.
Soon we came to the park. My
father drove into the driveway, which
had tall trees on either side, making
it look like a tunnel, and it reached
to the lake.
When we got to the lake we saw
where to go, for our little party was
waiting for us.
Father told them why we were late
and how we almost lost our lunch.
They all laughed. Then we sat down
on the grass and had our lunch. How

A JOLLY BIRTHDAY PICNIC

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A few days before l was IA years old
mamma asked me which I would rather
have on my birthday, party on the
lawn or to go for a picnic in the woods.
You can imagine which I chose. A
A picnic to the woods, of course.
Mamma and 1 started planning the
pleasant day. We wrote invitations to
our friends. There were sixteen of us
in the party. The day before mamma
prepared a nice lunch.
The morning of my birthday we were
all ready to start early. Each of us
carried a basket of lunch, wore sun
bonnet and the pIainest dresses. Just
as soon as the team was ready we
were seated on the hay that filed the
spring wagon. My brother and another
boy sat in the seat and took turns at
driving.
Just as we were we'll started and had
turned the corner of our house, we met
my Aunt Alice and two cousins. Mary
Los Angeles herald., 1910-07-17

and Martha, who had just arrived on
the train and had come for weeks
visit. We were glad to see them, but
wondering if they would come with us
on our picnic. They were only too
glad and so were we. We reached the
woods about 8 o'clock and had a much
nicer time than we would have had
because auntie, Mary and Martha were
there.
We were hungry, so about II o'clock
a delicious lunch was spread on
white cloth on the grass.
We had fun all day playing among
the trees. We started home about 5
o'clock and got home at dark. Every
one declared they had a fine time. 1
had fun all week with my cousins.

THEY MISSED THE TRAIN

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Grandma was sick and we were going
to see her We were going to the train
in an automobile. 1t was raining and
the roads were sloppy, so we were
going to Anaheim to the Southern
Pacific depot, so we would not have to
cross the city. But when we got to
the station the train had been gone
five minutes. We went back to Fuller
ton and mamma got letter saying
grandma was better, so mamma tele-
phoned to papa and asked him if we
should go on or come home.
He said, go on" so we got on the
train and went to Los Angeles. In Los
Angeles the water and mud were about
a foot deep. We got across the street
by walking through the mud Mamma
had on rubbers, but I did not, so a
man we knew carried me across. When
we got on the sleeper there were boy
and a girl in the car we were in, so
had lots of fun. We got to Atlanta all
right and found grandma up and sew

Atlanta and one month In Kentucky.

The weather continues very warm.
The thermometer skylarking among
the nineties and some days it has
registered even as high as 100 in this
city. Rain is very much needed.
Farmers report that the crops are suf
fering especially those seeded late or
on spring blowing. Yesterday morn
ing and also this morning the clowds
gathered but seemed dispersed again
without bringing the much wished for
rain. Conditions are much worse in
the southern part Of the state than
they are in the Red River Valley. At
the Mississippi river has
almost gone dry and farmers in that
part Of the state are blowing under
the crops which have already been
ruined by the drought. Local showers
are reported in western Minnesota
and in Dakota during the past few
days. A good soaking rain is very
much needed to save the crops.

Washing Irish Crochet,

Irish crochet collars and neckwear
may be the most durable a girl can
use or the most unsatisfactory. It de-
ponds upon the laundering.
Wash in thick hot suds made from
pure white soap. Rinse through sew

starch water. Squeeze out excessive
moisture between cloths.
Put the crochet piece to cushion or
heavily padded board. Pull out all the
points and edges, fastening each one
with pin to the cushion. Allow it to
remain until dry. when it will look
like new.
If the lace is much yellowed the
cushion may be stood in the sun dur
ing the drying process.
A drop of bluing can be added to the
last rinsing water. or if a creamy tint
Is liked the lace can be put through
