THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Some topic of sex came up the other
day. and a young engaged girl detailed
to us her fiance's views on the sub
ject.
\ sweet little old lady leaned for
ward and listened most intently to the
young girls words, and when she had
finished cried out in evident wonder:
But you don't really mean you talked
over all that with him.
why, yes" said the girl. I'VE feel
that it is false modesty to be afraid
of talking about such real vital
things. and so if they happen to come
UP we aren't afraid to speak out. OF
course. we always talk about them in Il
perfectly nice way.
The little old lady shook her head.
"Of course, it's all right. my dear,
or | know you wouldn't do 1T. but I'm
sure we never did. Why. just imagine
Johns telling me about-about--
the old ladys lips refused to name the
subject" about things like that" she
finished. before we were married.
Well. well, L suppose times have
changed"
1t was twilight. but even in the
semi-darkness / could see that the lit
tie old lady was blushing.
Times have changed in this particu
lar.
The pendulum has swung from the
extreme of an ultra modesty that at
tempted to ignore the existence of sex,
and that fled from any frank speech on
that subject as from a plague and that
either produced or assumed a ridfcu-
lous ignorance of vital things, instead
of a fine fearless innocence.
And this. l think. is very. very good.
But. like all pendulums, / am afraid
this one is inclined to swing too far
the other way.
The girl OF today is very anxious
not to be a prude.
wonder IL in her anxiety to stand
erect instead Of with the dropping pos
ture of her srandmother's day she does
not sometimes bend too far backward.
She wants to be sensibly frank
Isn't she sonnet mes foolishly so:
She thinks she talks of all these

matters merely to be sensible. and to
show that she is not afraid to call
spade a spade.
But I wonder does no other motive
ever creep in?
Does the excitement. the intimacy.
the thrill Of venturing on the forbid
den ground hand in hand with him
have nothing to do with her desire to
be frank?
Understand me, / do not mean that
this is a deliberate. conscious motive.
Rather one Of those deeply hidden
springs of action whose presence can
only be revealed even to ourselves by
q trip to the bottom OF our hearts.

East Indian ideas are introduced into
art needlework for fall. Metal braid in a
variety of East Indian colors is button

with the braids.

ideas in the decoration of bags and pill

A pretty sewing bag has the figures OF
domestic animals and children Stenci1ed

faces of all.

The wide silk scarfs which have been
popular for wraps all summer will be
made of taffeta for fall and will be about
eighteen inches wide and two and one
half yards long. They are also brought
out in satins and messalnes. Most of
them are black. but some are lined with
white d bright color. Some have the
long silk frinSed ends, while others have
a shorter silk fringe on both the sides and
ends
Silk and velvet sashes and girdles will
be much worn Crushed girdles with
bow and streamers at the back will be
popular styles. and the fiat bows of vel

four inches wide. the streamers lined
with cerse. and wide band of the lin

Tinted patterns will be extensively used
and are extremely effective combined
with the embroidery stitches and beads
which are employed in bringing out the
designs Butterflies and bees are being
shown on some of the tinted patterns on
scarfs. pillow tops and centerpeces, both
large and small ones being used. One OBJ
long pillow had a large tinted butterfly,
which was embroidered in short and long
stitch, in the pretty soft shades of green,
in combination with beads in harmoniZing
colors. Another effective large center
piece of natural color linen had design
worked out in bees and wild rose petals
in shades of pink, which was very eff
fective With these were worked out in
shades of browns and blues with both
the wings outspread and in repose. An
outline stitch of gold thread was used
with the design. and the centerpiece was
finished with fringe in the natural color.
Cordeliere embroidery is used in con-
ventional designs on pillow tops, scarfs
and centerpieces. The silk cord is couch
ed on the linen in a cured fiat effect i'm
combinations of attractive soft coors, and
the short and long stitch is also employed

Anty Drudge Talks to am Indignant
Woman.
Mrs. TopatJust gaze at that skirt! Looks like piece
of Swiss cheese. Full of holes My washwoman
must use quick lime instead of SOAP
Anty 12~udne- why don't you wash at home?'
Mrs. 7opfar-"At home indeed! Why, you know,
live in apartment. Boil clothes gas range?
Most likely land in the hospital
Anty D7udge-"Why dear, use FesNaptha and you
don't have to boil the clothes. Lukewarm cool
water is all that's needed winter AndIn
guarantee your clothes will never again be freckled
with holes"
No sensible woman wants to do more work
than is necessary to accomplish the best
results.
And yet
There are women who take a full day to do
the weekly wash when it can be done in half
the time and far better
Is this because they don't know the
Fels-Naptha way?
Or is the reason that they are SO governed
by habit that they hesitate to try a new
method?
The Fels-Naptha way is SO easy, SO simple.
Full directions are on the red and green
wrapper.

NeedIeWork Novelties.

For sanitary reasons crashes and
linens in the natural color are in
variably used for fancy work in prefer
ence to the more perishabe materials.
Women also desire articles that will
launder and that are of practical use.
Papier mache designs are a great help
to the needleworker. They are the same
as the designs stamped on the pillows,
scarfs or other articles. The papier
mache is placed directly over the stamp
ed designs, and saves the trouble of pad
ding. and makes the work much easier
for beginners. While papisr mache mi
tials have been in use, it is Only recently
that the conventional patterns of this
kind have been shown in this form
There are many new ideas for pillow
covers. One is the use of fiber silk woven
in the form Of small roses for the decora-
ton Of an oblong pillow of crash. the
roses being made in shades of pink with
green foliage in short and long stitch
and the roses have padded effect pro-
duced by the woven stitch which is very
attractive.
