White FurS Meant
Only For Beautiful

First of all. do not choose white fur
unless you are 4 ravishing beauty and a
moneyed woman. The white is very
trying to the skin. bringing out all hard
lines end showing by contrast any little
defects in the complexion or features.
For youth the soft white fox is ap-
propriate, If you have money to keep
it in a state OF snowy cleanliness, and
if you are the possessOr of another set
for morning wear or for stormy days.
OF course, you must not wear ermine
or fox with business suits or with storm
coats. And, above all. you will not
v ear white furs If there is any doubt as
to the whiteness of them!
Ermine, especially the taillesS kind, is
very fashionable for dressy white furs.
Ii is combined with lace and satin, and
your very small muff of two years ago
can hSure as a part of an immense COM
hinatiOn set of today. For very small
cost a furricr will make up an old fur
set irto a straight long scarf and a pill
low muff.
ChinChilla is another expensive fur
from which the woman of limited means
should resolutely turn. II is beautiful
and, being gray, combines so well with
any shade that the unthnking will be
prevailed upon. But it is perishable and
does not make over" with much sue
cess.

They had been sitting there for only
minute or two when, from the other
side of the bushes. there came a loud
quacking, and as the fox and the rabbit
peeked through the leaves they saw
fat old duck standing by the side of
frog which seemed TO be in great dis
IreSS. He lay on his side in tire sun,
g8sping for breath, and holding on TO
his head in a most distressing manner
The old duck who stood beside him
was QuackinG loudly. You are d very

The poor frog did as he was ordered.
although he was so weak that he could
hardly hOrd his mouth open long enough
for the duck to get a good look. When
the duck had seen his tongue he shook

Then he felt of the frogs legs just

the frogs pulse. or at least pretended

"A very bad case" said the duck: "a

That duck is a quack / believe" said

knows anything about medicine or what
is the matter with the frog. | intend to
set matters right by going to the edge
OF the pond and getting another frog to
come and attend to this sick one" and
SO saying Mister Fox stole down nearer
the edge of the pond.
He soon found another frog and told
MN OF the Illness of the frog on the
bank, and within a few minutes half
dozen frogs were hopping up from the
water toward where their sick friend
lay
It was not half a minute before they
had decided what was the trouble.
He has been out of water too long,"
SAID one big frog.
And he has been lying in this hot

''All he Needs" said another, 'fs to bo
helped down to the water and five min
utes after he has been in the pond he
will be as well as ever"
SO one frog got on one side and an
other frog got on the other, and in half
a minute they had helped the sick frog
down to the edge of the pond and
pushed him in, and in minute more he
was swimming about as we'll as ever.
What did l tell you?' said the fox.
as he came back to Jack Rabbit, but
here comes the duck. Let's see what he
with his bill full of pine needles, which
he had picked up in the wood When
he arrived where he had left the frog
he was very much surprised to find him
gone, but just at that moment the fox
stepped out from the bushes and said:
Good morning, DR.. Duck are YOU look
ing for your patient?''
Yes" said the duck, Il left a very
sick frog here only a moment ago, and
have just returned with medicine for his
treatment"
Il see said the fox, and what allied
the frog"
"Oh! he was suffering from a very
DANGEROUS disease, and unless he has
attention from me very soon he will be
dead
Il scarcely think so,I said the fox,
for he is already swimming around in
the pond as well as ever. If he had
waited here in the hot sun for you to
treat him he would never have seen
his family again alive. l have always
thought YOU quack, and now I know
1t. and since you do no good to your
kind and are likely TO do much harm,

Greediness Harmful
For the Complexion

Many a beauty is ruined by over
eating. All of us take more food than
we need. and If there is the least taint
of greediness, woe betide complexion
and figure.
Do not think your coffin will be or
dered If you miss a meal. II is not
needful to become fasting faddist not
to overeat.
If you would he beautiful restrain
your appetite.
Have YOU ever NOTICED the almost ami
NAL look to the mouth of the greedy
one?
GTeediness means an overworked liver,
with a consequent yellowing complexion
and leathery skin.
The surest road to heaviness and lost
suppleness of youth is to habitually
overeat.
No woman can hope to keep her good
figure who loves her food overmuch.
If she does not get fat she will prob
ably ruin her digestion, and with it go
health and freshness.

The Saving Quality.

Common sense is all you need,
Using which you can succeed.
If you have chunk of that
Hidden underneath your hat
You may travel to success
sBy the limited express
And come home with wealth and FAM
Tackled securely to your name.
Just a very little bit
Always serves to make a hit.
For at large and roaming round
Many persons will be found
Who are shy, the truth to tell.
OF this thing on which we dwell.
So the person with mite
Cannot help but turn out right.
Common it is called; but, say,
Is il common round your way?
No; l venture it is not.
You perhaps a share have got
But the ones around you-well,
Charity forbears to tell
Just how much of II they lack
If an expert should keep track.
So if you are but possessed
With a grain or two at best
Nurture it the while you may:
Watch it grow from day to day.
II YOU have the full, complete
Complement to Easy street
You may move Where'er you Will,
It's like rolling down filt

Latest in Embroidery
For New Table Covers

The latest touch in embroidered lunch
cloths is to form them of alternate
strips of lace and fine linen. Filet, fine
Cluny, and copies OF the old Venetian
laces are used for these insertions. and
a border of lace to match completes the
cover
This is n change from the squares of
lace and liner which have been popular
for some time.
On the handsomest cloths the strips
of linen are embroidered in a CONVEX
tiOnaliZed vine of satin stitch and eye
let embroidery: and the Costliest of all
have strips of reticella, giving an open
effect that is lovely over, polished ma
hogany.
Sometimes a lining of satin in the
palest tone of the floral decorations is
used under these lacy covers.

Grease in Sink.

When your kitchen sink is stopped
up from grease, take two pounds OF
washing soda and put it over the strain

When 1t has stood TO" some time and

water and take a rag and press over
