"Come-Back" People.

and said. But just the same / shan't

Why" l inquired with some surprise
She said she was perfectly willing"
YES" said the lady. Il know she did
but she's the kind of woman who says
that sort of thing before your face and
then talks about you behind her back il
YOU take her at her word. How do
know? Because I've heard her talk about
other people that way. You want TO bt

because she is certainly a very common
type.
Perhaps your neighbor belongs TO thi,
class, and neighborwise you borrow some
coffee from her. She is delighted to lent

med There is a tie of velvet, matching
the blouse, and the belt is OF patent

An attractive blouse shown Is made OF
a combination of plain green and striped
blue and green silk. The lower part OF
the bodice of the blouse and Robespierre
collar and cuffs are of the striped blue

Another blouse is also made with
peplum in quaint little cutaway effect
The blouse is of satin and is trimmed
with bands Of different toned satin. There
are under sleeves and jabot of white lace.
The fril is held in place at the low round
neck by a smart, fiat bow of contrasting
colored satin.
Combinations of white chiffon with dark
chiffon or net matching costume are
worked out cleverly in some instances. An
imported model in cream and dark blue
was a particularly good development OF
this idea.
Wide striped chiffon in the color of the
frock and white makes a modish looking
blouse, and there are some pretty models
in plain white chiffon, trimmed with
bands of color.

Cover for Cake.

Country and suburban hostesses who
make 1t . practice to serve afternoon
tea out Of doors will like to know about
a novel cover for the cake dish. 1t is
the daintiest little article imaginable. The
foundation is of wire, the shape round.
octagon or square, as one pleases. This
Is covered tight and smooth with fg-
ured filet lace, pure white. A crochet
button In the center Of the top acts as
a litter, while little tassels decorate the
corners Of the round and the octagon
shapes.
Being a novelty, these covers are q
little expensive, but they could be made
at home at little cost, and one could
then make the size to suit the dishes
to be covered. A thin white cotton wire
Is crossed and the four ends turned
downward to make the height. Four
inches is about right, while the diameter
Of the cover may be any desired size. A
ring OF wire Is run around where the
four ends turn. the latter being attached
to second ring, which form the bot
tom or rests. Then short lengths OF wire
connect the two rings in addition to the four
at the start This makes the frame nrm-
er and stronger. 1t is now ready for the
outer covering. Half a yard OF filet net
would be plenty for three or four covers,
because it is very wide
A plain net would be very pretty on
the round shape, say a hlet square
(smalD set at the, top in the center
other suggestion is to cover the top Of
the octagon shape with net alone and set
a small filet medallion in each of the
eight squares. II a good quality Of wire
is chosen, the covers can be tuobed, but
they should be quickly dried. OF course.
They should be dipped up and down
in warm soap suds, adding pinch Of
borax or a few drops OF ammonia, after
ward rinsing in clear, cold water.
Tied up to a line in the air the cover
would soon dry. and without losing its
shape, of course.
The strong little mission tables with
shelf underneath can be made into ex-
cellent rolling trays by fitting the legs
with casters and having a strip of wood
nailed around the four sides to prevent
dishes from slipping off. The table is
laden with all the necessary articles in
the kitchen, when it can be wheeled out
of doors and the tea table set there.
incidentally, this same table might
prove very useful all through the year
for conveying things from the kitchen
to the dining room. It's use would mean
saving of lots OF steps. while pushing
it would be much easier than carrying
heavy trays.
A new workbasket for porch and ve-
randa use is made Of straw sewn to-
gether as a hat might be. 1t is nat in
shape and is fitted with a strip of red
cloth near the top that can be drawn up
bag fashion. There are two straw ham
dies, and altogether it is the very light
est basket of the kind / have ever held,
yet just as strong as can be.
I fancy an old straw hat thoroughly
scrubbed might be utilized, using rib
bons for handles to match the Innings.
1t is astonishing the wear and tear
these straw baskets will stand.

inexpensive Luxuries
For the Bathroom
BY ELIZABETH LEE.

Almost every person can AFFORD the
luxury Of shower bath, since it is pos
sible to buy a portable one at such mod
est prices / saw a shower bath of the
most practical kind marked at a few
pennies less than s., and after demon
strating its merits 1 feel sure no one
would go without such warm weather
comfort who had the price to pay for it.
The fittings were quite substantial, ar
ranged with fixtures for attaching to the
wall an extremely strong rubber pipe,
and curtains of heavy sail duck such as
tents are made Of.
These would be perfect protection to
walls or paper.
| At such a low price one expects only
| the most fiimsy outfit. and to pay So for
something that would soon get out OF
order. or prove impracticable, is just like
! throwing money away. Then, for those
!, who feel even S. is beyond their purse
| there is a bath~spray that is not at all
| bad substitute for the shower bath. The
| prices for rubber and rose nozzle begin
at so cents for the small size. For rims
| ing the hair these sprays are excellent.
as the force sends water right into the
scalp cleansing it from soap most thor
oughly. BY the way, there is little
| shampoo bag lately introduced which
costs only 10 cents. and can be dried
| and used over and over again. The outer
covering is cheesecloth, with spongy
substance inside charged with soap and
perfumed powders, said to be very cool.
cleansing and refreshing.
Rags for the bath are the same price.
and perfumed bath salts are 70 cents
| bottle Though inexpensive, both articles
are really q luxury that only needs a
| trial to convince the user she cannot do
without them during the hot weather.
| An electric fan Is a comfort in any
room but a small electric fan designed
| for bathroom use will be much appre-
ciated, as it will dry the hair after
shower bath in a very few minutes.
Neither is it necessary to have electric
! light in the house in order to enjoy the
| cool breeze. battery comes with the
| fan, and the entire. cost is $3.50
There is a new weave of wash rag
which is said to be an Improvement over
| the old. yet at the same price. There are
| two kinds, one thick. which resembles
corduroy, but is as soft as the old rag
| The other one is just ribbed. 1t is claim
| ed these cords, or ribs, afford more fric
| ton than the ordinary bit of turkish
| towelipg. and that the raised cord is the
best unless one has a very sensitive skin.
then the cotton rib should be used.
| Many women find bathroom fixtures re-
| uuire more cleaning in summer than at
any other time, and this is just the sea-
| extra labor.
i. An authority on such subjects tells me
| the reason is because the nickel has been
plated over a cheap metal. Nickel on
| brass will keep in good condition for
years. and will only need washing on
with warm soap suds, wiping dry with
q towel.

MiIady's Mirror.

There is no surer way of resting tired
nerves than to leave the haunts Of man
and get near to nature in the camp, the
tent, the boat or the bungalow. Rest,
natures natural life. and constant fresh
air '.knit up the raveled sleeve of care"
as Shakespeare has said.
For those who cannot go away from
the city. or can go away only at night. a
sleeping porch is a good substitute. There
one may have many hours OF restful con-
tact with fresh, pure air. The coolness of
night Is restful to skin, brain, nerves and
lungs. Inhaling free draughts Of fresh
air flls the unused portions of the lungs,
and this acts as q preventive OF tulber
culosis. for it is these generally unused
spaces in the lungs Of the indoor worker
that harbor the germs and form good
culture medium for their growth. Germs
will not grow where there is plenty of
fresh, pure blood. 1t Is only where this
fails from poor circulation. or poor quail
ity of blood, that germs can lodge and do
their deadly work.
The old-fashioned prejudice against
night air has about passed away among
thinking people. 1t arose from the now
exploded theory that malarial and ty-
phoid feyers were due to- a kind OF
miasma that arose from the soil at night
especially where there were marshes and
dampness. From this came the belief
that all air should be excluded from
houses at night.
Now we know these diseases come. first
from protobal life. and second from
germs that lodge in the intestines and
grow there. BY excluding the malaria
bearing mosquito we avoid malaria; by
disinfecting everything that leaves the
sickroom in typhoid fever we prevent the
spread of disease. Fresh, cool air at
night Is a valuable tonic.
There are still many foolish persons
who exclude vttahzing sunshine and air
from their best rooms for fear OF fading
carpets and hangings. 1t is far better
to sacrifice carpets. which can be re-
placed. than risk health. which cannot
be replaced SO easily and the efforts to
regain which fill the pocket OF the family
physician. Blinds and shades are needed
only to keep out heat in summer weather.
The sleeping porch can be arranged on
any upper porch or veranda- or on a fiat
roof. by placing on the roof wooden
grating door and surrounding 1t with q
light railing. In the country 1t will be
necessary to arrange MOSQUITO screens to
keep out those pests. The fiat roof OF
city houses can be used In the same way
il ratings he so placed that marauders
cannot travel from neighboring roofs al

exceptionally picturesque and becoming.
Long flowing lines are once again asser.-

description.
Very attractive, also. and pleasantly
gay and bright, are the colors OF the

full. there is always q time when bright
crimson plays prominent part. since
it is seen TO special advantage in the
case of those long coats in blanket cloth
which are worn over simple little frocks
in white or navy serge. Touches OF GRIM

Little Stories for Bedtime
FARMER BROWNS BOY IS DETERMINED
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Farmer Browns boy had made up his
mind. When he shut his teeth with a
click and drew his lips together into a
thin, straight line those who knew him
knew that Farmer Browns boy had
made up his mind. That is just what he
had done now. He was cleaning up his
gun, and as he worked he was thinking
of his pet chicken and all the other
chickens that Reddy Fox had taken.
I'm going to get that fox IL 1T takes
all SUMMER" exclaimed Farmer Browns
boy II ought to have gotten him the
other day when / had shot at him.
Next time-well, we'll see, Mr.. Fox, what
will happen next time!"
Now some one heard Farmer Brown s
boy. heard everything he said. though
Farmer Browns boy didn't know it. 1t
was Unc' Billy Possum. who was hiding
in the very pile of wood on which Farmer
Browns boy was sitting. Unc' Billy
pricked up his ears. He didn't like the
tone of voice in which Farmer Browns S
boy spoke. He thought of Reddy Fox.
still SO stiff and sore and lame that he
could hardly walk. all from the shot
which Farmer Browns boy thought had
missed.
There isn't gwine to be any next time.
No. sab. there isn't gwine to be any next
time. All sholy doan love Reddy Fox,
but All can't nohow let him be shot
again. All cert'nly can't muttered Unc'
Billy Possum to himself
OF course, Farmer Browns boy didn
hear him. He didn't hear him and ne
didn't see him when Unc' Billy Possum
crept out of the back side Of the wood
pile and scurried under the henhouse. He
was too intent on his plan to catch Reddy
Fox.
I'm just going to hunt over the Green
Meadows and through the Green Forest
until / get that fox.'' said Farmer
Browns boy, and as he said Ii he looked
very fierce. as IL he really meant 1t.
| I'm not going to have my chicken stolen
any more. No, sir-e-e! That fox has got
home somewhere on the Green Meadows
or in the Green Forest. and I'm going
to find it. Then watch out, Mr. Fox!
Farmer Browns boy whistled for Bow
ser the hound and started for the Green
Forest Unc' Billy Possum poked his
sharp, little, old face out from under the
henhouse and watched them go. Usually
Unc' Billy is grinning, but now there
wasn't any grin-not the least sign of one.
Instead Unc' Billy Possum looked worried.
There goes that boy with gun and

blouse for hard wear with tailored
street or travelling costume will find
that some of these blouses fill a long
felt want. providing they find the
blouses at all. Oddly enough. the do
mestic designers do not seem to recog-
nize the appeal in the long-sleeved
blouse that is chic as we'll as possible,
ard most of them continue to divide
their models into short-sleeved shcer
Iacdels of a more dressy character and
rigidly severe shirt waists or long
sleeved. high-collared tailored waists of
conspicuous ugliness.
For dressy wear the three-quartef
sleeve is undeniably more attractive
than the long sleeve. and the long
sleeve with the little fl-ill over the
hand, which finishes most Of the fal
productions, is open to objection in
that it soils readily. But the frill is
easily replaced. and If one does not
want to cleanse 1T there are countless
varieties Of readymade net and lace
paintings which cost little and can be
bought by the yard Turned back
cuffs are shown in many styles. and
are easily made If one has an eye to
economy.
Then there is the simple, close-fitting
long sleeve with pipings Of white, with

cords or trimmings of white. The blouse
is made of velvet. There S a cape collar
and piping of pale satin and dfrectoire
collar Of the high rundown kind. with a
band of the pale satin outlining its edges
and braid and crochet button TRIM
ming at the front of the Iale tint.
Another type of blouse with long
sleeves has a collar of satin, elbow cuffs
and buttons of a contrasting color. There
are lengthwise tucks running from the
shoulders to the bust line to give the re-
Quired fullness to the blouse front.
Another blouse is Of satin with long
sleeves. There is a wide satin collar
edged with white satin. The one-sided
revers is of white satin, trimmed with
cord There is white tulle guimpe and
1abot, lace trimmed. The cuffs OF the long,
fitted sleeves are turned back and button
trimmed.
Another long-sleeve model is made OF
colOred chfnon on white taffeta founda-
ton. There are white kce band trim

are tucked horizontally, and there Is a

course, / never intended to accept. but
one day stress of circumstances forced
me to ask small favor in this line
She granted it. but in such an uneracious
manner that / would have given any
thing not to have asked. And she further
came back by criticising my having done
so to our mutual friends. She did not
needless to say, tell them how eagerly
she had urged me to make use OF my
car any time at all, my dear.
To criticise a person for accepting a
favor from you is ungracious under any
circumstances, but to criticise any one
for accepting favors which you have de-
liberately lured them into asking is just
a bit worse.
OF course, there may be some kinds Of
two-facedness which are more despicable
than this variety, but offhand | can't

Separate blouses for wear with coat
and skirt costumes get prettier season
by season, and exquisite new fall models
are now shown.
The blouse matching the costume is
still smart. but it is not imperative.
Women are not going back to the days
Of the separate silk waists available
for all purposes, but the separate
blouse that does not match the skirt
will be more in evidence during the
coming season than for some time past.
The chiffon blouse in its various
phases helps to solve the problem which
confronts the woman who is trying
to select a blouse for a winter costume
Of heavy woolen material or corduroy,
