We all know the popular summer girl,
just as we all know and lament her op-
posite type.
She is the girl who stands the test OF
the most trying season of the year and
seems to come out of each and every an
moving situation unrufied and serenely
good-natured.
At a hotel, a crowded cottage, or as
one Of large house party the girl who
becomes known as the popular girl in
in summer is the one who acts like she
does not expect the whole earth to be
given to her, or to be her due; gracefully
recognizing the right Of other people TO
a little portions of it, at least.
OF course if belleship comes to her by
reason of her own attractions and be-
cause of that personal charm that makes
her popular, she would not be human if
she did not find popularity pleasant; but
there is a vast difference between this
summer girl and the one who, metaphor
,caIly, if not actually, elbows everybody
else out of her way.
Why She Is Popular.
Whenever il is possible to make pleas
ures general and inclusive Of her whole
party the popular girl tries to make
them so; while the one who glories in
having everybody dancing attendance
upon her individual whims and caprices
finds that there is a limit to patience in
hot weather, and that limit is soon
reached by those who resent undue de-
mands upon their time and activity.
The popular girl is not always and for
eEer in evidence. She is too wise, or
perhaps, too polite, to make the mis-
take of thinking that she must not be
out of. the sight of her party for an hour
in the day 1t is far better to be missed
during occasional Withdrawals than to
stick like a bur to the same group Of
people till they know what you think on
all subjects under the sun and have moth
inF8else to discover in you. That, in
deed, is fatal, and the popular girl knows

"A mother has five times the physical

She turned toward home. Over her face

heart surging into her voice:

Many new names have been added to
the Puzzle Circle this week. Mrs A. K.
Everett writes me that I expressly COM
nanded that all solutions be sent in
wtther they were correct or otherwise,
and wants me to believe that the memo
rable battles is the easiest possible puz-
ze to solve.
Another contestant writes me that
SWashington women like to fight" and
as soon as they smelled the powder and
smoke of battlefelds they were Johnny
W8atever may be the reason, it is per-
fectty certain that this has been just
the biggest puzzle week we have ever
had, the list of names numbering hun
dreds, and comprised of men as we'll as
women, and the number of children con-
testing for a prize this week is longer
than that Of any week before.
When winners Are Announced.
And now that the contest nears its
close those who have already submitted
solutions of tine loco are turning their
thoughts to Sunday, and the announce
ment of prize winners.
Mr.. f. /. Casselman writes:
Il think this is one Of the most in
teresting puzzles have ever seen, and
have been wondering what you are
going to do about ties, for there Is cer-
tain to be more than one correct solu-
ton OF the American Battles, don't you
think soP''
7 am not saying what I think about
the matter, but I will reiterate an oft
aGde statement for Mr.. Casselman's ben
est, and others who may be wondering
what will be done 'is case of ties"
It has always been a rule Of our con-
tests that where there Is more than one
correct solution Of a puzzle the prize
awards are made to the first two correct
lists receIyed in the adult class, and the
first correct solution in the children's S
class
In0sase of no correct solutions the
prizes are awarded the first two. most
nearly correct lists in the order OF their
receipt. This statement is made with
the announcement OF each new puzzle.
but some members OF our circle are so
eager to start right In on the new puzzle
that they do not even stop to read the
rules governing its solution.
This is proven every week by the an
swers that are received on Saturday
morning after the contest has closed

SUMMER PHILOSOPHY.

Propinquity inspires love. and Is
often the reason some people are
so much in. love with themselves.
It is easy to- forgive the incon-
veniences caused by Jealousy
when It is inspired by affection
for you.
A man can be most easily hurt
through his vanity--a woman
through her afrections.
The charm about a Irritation Is
that It might result seriously.
The most disagreeable people in
the world are those who insist
upon trying to make you happy
in the way that they prefer TO be.

TimberIake SaIad-If you wish a per-

tomato cups by neatly scooping out the
insides Of even-sized tomatoes; keep on
ice at least two hours before using; take
one cup OF boiled rice, one-half cup OF
walnut and pecan nuts chopped fine, one
cup OF American cream cheese cut in
very small bits; mix all together with
mayonnaise. When ready to serve fill
the tomato cups with the mixture and on
the top Of each place a whole walnut
meat.
Raspberry Mint-To one quart Of lem
onade add one-half cupful of raspberries
and the leaves from a sprig Of mint;
chill for two hours and serve in tall
glasses, each garnished with sprig Of
mint. Most refreshing on a hot day.
CThis recipe comes from a Minneapolis
chef)
The entire luncheon may be prepared
early in the day. and 10 fire will be
needed; an important item during these
hot days.
Artichokes are not used as much in the
majority Of American homes as they
should be and will prove a pleasant
change from the more common vegeta-
bles. Boil them in slightly salted water
until tender, then drain and pour over
and around them a rich white sauce.
Cherries in Jelly Mold-To one pint of
Juice, drained from stewed cherries add
sugar to make quite sweet and let it
come to boil; dissolve one tablespoon
full Of granulated gelatin in cold water
to cover, pour over 1t the boiling hot
cherry Juice and strain into q border
mold; set aside to become firm, then

cherries and heap over all whipped

is particularly well pleased with the

He approves of Mr. Clark's style OF
