A special form of summer pastime
is the book-guessing contest conduct
ed by city paper. An astonishingly
large number are trying for prize,
and even if they do not succeed
will at least have sharpened their
wits and have had something to talk
about these long days. To our view,
the contest is of very doubtful hap
py result, as so many answers are
possible to each picture. Of course
this has been cleverly planned to
that end. The one who will not be
disappointed is the one who expects
nothing and has gone into it simply
for love of the game, and if he gets
a prize, will receive that much clear
gain.

Paint has wrought wonders on some
of the homes in Bayou Sara, SOiled,
defaced and injured by the flood.
One can hardly realize in such cases
that destructive waters ever cover
ed the town. Of course fences and
sidewalks are lacking, and the TN
painted houses will tell the story for
some time to come. In this cOnnec-
ton it occurs to us that in some
parts of the country merely to help
along appearances, there are patriot
ic dealers willing to sell paint at
cost in order that farm houses and
ut-buildings may be painted and EN-
dered more slightly. If some NOR
chant here would take this patriotic
view, and be willing to sell paint at
cost in Bayou Sara, the rehabilita-
ton of that town would be greatly
hastened and no one lose anything
thereby either. One dealer has been
giving garden seeds. If some one
would sell paint at cost, an equally
good work for The town could be &C.
complished.
Paint is wonder worker surely.
It's benefcent officers should be EN-
ployed, if possible, in this instance.

Long Silk Coats.

The long black silk coat with
sleeves to the wrist Is one of the most
comfortable as well as one Of the
smartest garments of the season. 1t
is usually trimmed with fat bias folds
of the same material, but as rule the
trimming is confined to the top of the
back, the top Of the sleeves and the
wrists, and perhaps a couple of dainty
fiat pockets. Almost useless these are.
as no one with any regard for fashion
dare make them bulge with even the
--LATEST handkerchief or the tiniest
purse.
The form Of these coats is straight
up and down from under the arms.
and the fastenings are usually fat
loops of cord with large buttons COW
cred with moire silk. All the new
coats have rundown collars and 1t Is
optional with the wearer to have a
rundown collar to the dress or blouse
beneath. or to have one high to the
ears

good, substantial servant and she and
I'll do the work. I'll save lots that
way, and by experimenting the cook
ing I'll avoid the waste and save a
lot more"
Janet paused again, but Johns ex-
preston showed no sign Of relenting
sympathy, so she went on:
"You see, I'll get one servant for,
say, SIG a month. We pay these
two $50 month. That will be $40
a month-$250 about year, be-
sides the board of one of them-s5 a
week, I should think. How much Is
five times fifty-two?"
1.-TWO hundred and sixty" Volun-
teered John glumly.
well, there's over five hundred,
beside the saving of waste. And then
I'll have a garden and grow all our
own vegetables; and besides being
cheaper, they'll be a lot healthier,
and so we won't have doctors bills.
You see, John? I'll have six or seven
hundred dollars-and I could go quite
bit on that.
"Perhaps-when come home, John,
and get ready to settle down" Janet
started; but, noting the hopeful look
of Johns face, she laughingly left her
sentence unfinished and babe him
decided good night.
Thus Janet Wares year Of money
earning began. Within week she
had dismissed the two we'll trained
servants from the Ware kitchen, had
installed therein in their place a
"green" young girl fresh from Finland,
whose only ambition seemed to be to
answer every question with her one
English phrase-"You bet'-and had
hired gardener by the day for three
days to spade and rake and plant the
garden.
From the beginning the task of earn
ing money by saving it was hard one
for Janet. Her first months savings
were spent before the first month was
done. She spent $40 in plants and
seeds for the garden; and she spent
another $40 in equipping her one-maid
kitchen-new cook books, casseroles,
double boilers, patent egg heaters and
mops and various other labor saving
devices. Besides that, Lena, the new
maid, had broken so much china and,
through ignorance, ruined so much
food, that the bill for waste which
Janet had hoped to do away with al
together was double its usual size.
One other thing bothered Janet.
John Wilson, who after each of his
other four repulsed proposals had dog
gedly returned to try his luck again
at Janet's hands, had almost disap-
peared from Janet's daily life, and
Janet realized that she missed him.
When she met him occasionally he

Tt's this way, john" said Janet
Ware. in response to Johns fifth pro-
posal of marriage. II just won't
marry-you nor anybody else-yet.
I shouldn't be satisfied to settle down
In the town where I've grown up and
see the same things and the same
people for the rest Of my life. YOU
understand, don't you, John%
The repulsed John looked as If he
did not understand and did not wish
to understand Janet's reasoning. The
only thing in the world he could un-
derstand was that he was In love
with Janet.
"No, Janet" he answered, II hardly
think you can expect much sympathy
from me. If you'd marry me, I'd
promise some day to take you abroad.
I'd work hard and save; l know
could do It, Anyway, how can you go
now? Your father can't afford to
oSuu yOu.
"Of course he can't; but I've got
the best plan! You see, there are
seven of us-and I'm the Oldest. And
of course, with such a big family
mother has. never had time to keep
up with the modern sort Of scientific
housekeeping. You know, took

"Yes," admitted John.
"Well, of course, can see where
there's lot of wasted effort and
money in this household" continued
Janet sagely. :'Now, I'm going to
keep house for a year and father says
l can have what I save"
Janet hesitated to watch the effect
of her startling statement on John,
but the effect was not encouraging
and she went on:
"In the first place, I'll dismiss the
cook and the maid--they're just ready
to leave anyway. And I'll get one
