BAN ON TURKEY TROT."
PlainfieId Country Club Will lot Allow
II at Dances,

Plainfeld, N. j., June 6.-The Plain
field Country club Of this city has put
the ban on the turkey trot." A no
tice just sent to all members says:
"The trustees venture to express the
hope that our club dances this season
may not be dishgured by novelties or
styles In dancing to which any Of our
members could possibly take objection.
1t is suggested, as a matter Of fairness
to many members in the past, whether
taking active part in them or as spec
tators, hat nothing should be done to
convert an entertainment which may
be wholly graceful and charming into
one in the least degree inartistic or
commonplace.
"The trustees believe that the mem
bers themselves may be relied upon to
see that any essentially Objectionable
style or method of dancing shall be not
merely unpopular, but emphatically
bad form at the Plainfield Country
club"
The notice, 1t was said, was quite eff
fective and has been hailed as a great
uiece Of tact by some of the members,

The watermelon, with its abundant
| Juice, is the natural hot weather &C
| compartment.
There is no food or drink that has
the same refreshing effect on the sun
baked human.
Unripe, like the muskmelon. it is
apt to produce unpleasant, colicky
symptoms. But, thoroughly ripe, it
| furnishes safety to the system with
the carrying away of any feverish
tendency.
Among many foreign. peoples and
some Americans the fresh, simple
juice is considered excellent for the
liver. The seeds, bruised and mixed
with water to make an emulsion, are
given for catarrhal disorders.
The United States dispensatory rec
! ognizes in its list of unofficial reme-
dies the refreshing and purifying
qualities of watermelon seeds.
The freshly expressed simple juice
| of the melon and a preparation called
watermelon honey are used by the
Russian peasants for dropsy, chronic
congestion of the liver and intestinal
catarrh.
Away back in 1929 an English
| writer discussed the pest methods of
growing watermelon in hotbeds. It's
home is in Egypt, but it is found
abundantly in India and China. In
all Southern Europe melons are both
common and popular.
Wherever the climate is sultry and
the sun rays are hot the deliciously
cooling. juicy watermelon wins favor
and friends.
To the poor Egyptian watermelon
is both food and drink.
And IN the wealthy Egyptian class
it is the custom to eat slices Of
watermelon at intervals between each
different dish.
In Paris, and sometimes in Amer
lea, too, this melon is eaten with salt,
which is said to facilitate its diges-
zion.
Half-frozen Melon-Break the ripe
pulp of the melon into fine bits with
a silver fork and place it in a freezer
without a dasher. Let stand two
hours packed in salt and ice and
serve in sherbet glasses or the half
she'll of the melon. chilled and gar
nished at base with vines.
Melon Sherbet-Scrape all the red
pulp of the melon, carefully saving
the Juice. Allow to one gallon of
liquid a pound of sugar and freeze.
This may be varied by adding lemon

frozen add the whipped whites Of

IN THE NURSERY

All children Of every class love stor-
les read and told TO them. They
W tire Of this form OF a~musement.
and when a child loves a story he
will care to listen TO It over and oyer
again. and it is often better that he
should know and relieve one oft re-
peated tale than be overwhelmed with
too many new ones. A story may
contain material for many hours Of
occupation and play. 1t should not
merely be told and then dismissed as
something finished and done with. but
rather should have for its object the
stimulation Of the child's magma
ton to supply it with play material
and to act as a medium for self-ex-
preston And so a story should not
be chosen haphazard to fill a gap In
the days program. but it should be
selected with care and some appre-
citation of its real educational value
and appropriateness.

A O
LIKE TO GROW OLD

Is just as absurd to wear a kimona
as a dressing gown as 1t is to put
on an evening dress just after get

Zone thing that has astonished
mee,' said a Japanese m in
America recently, "is the fact that
women here have a fancy for the
kimona as a dressing gown. L won
der what they would say IL they went
to Japan and found some of my coun
.trywomen leaving their morning bath
or taking the first meal of the dayin

owomen were quite mad"
The observing visitor also made
criticisms of the way American
wone wear the kinlona.
IF they must wear the kimona,"
said she, why don't they fasten it
as we fasten it? It should lap over
from left to right, not from right to
left.
When a Japanese women walks her
draperies must fall from left to right.
Furthermore, in Japan the older a
woman grows the shorter are the
sleeves of her kimona made. Japan

do not are to shorten 1t by a sin

their kimonas made accordingly.

Many articles q food are reputed
to have the virtue of curing sleep
l~essness. A writer says that when
pressed with work and ~indisposed to
sleep he ate two or three small
onions and found their effect mag
ical.
One or two potatoes baked or boiled
in their skins are strongly recon-
mended when the sleep1essness Is due
to nervous dyspepsia; spinach, as
paragus or oysters for supper have
we'll recognized soporific qualities.
Probably these remedies act chiefly
by giving the stomach something te
do and thus Withdrawing blood from
the brain. S-leepIessness arises from
a great variety of causes. and one
has to choose his remedy according
to the nature of his own particular
malady.
There is the primary form of in
somnia, in which the brain remains
active and supplied with toe much
blood because the vessels have lost
tone. Anaemia may be the ause,. or
excessive tobacco smoking.
The proper remedy is removal of
the cause, but anything that will
draw the blood down into the body
helps to bring about sleep. A. glass
of hot milk <or a cup of beef tea
will often do this. and when the feet
are colo these remedies are assisted

A PRETTY GOWN OF BOR-
DERED WOLFE
BY MAY MANTON

There are a great many bordered
fabrics this season, but no one OF
them is prettier than the Voiles and
marquisettes that make most attract
i've gowns with very little labor. This
one shows a blouse that is Tapped in

skirt that can be either gathered
or tucked at the upper edge. The

straight and 1t can be made from any
preferred silk or satin, but in this

It can be made from any bordered

full ones, or it can be made from
any plain material banded or trimmed
in any such Nay. Plain wolfe or mar
quisette with cluny lace banding as
trimming would make an exceedingly
handsome effect and for the chemis-
cite and centre portions of the blouse
can be used tucking or fancy net or
any similar material. Finely dotted
net laid in tucks is fashionable ana
dainty and the shadow nets make
a pretty contrast with the heavy lace.
The one-piece sleeves are stitched to
the armholes In what is known az

made in elbow length or to the wrists,
and long sleeves are daily growing IN
favor. If cotton materials are not
wanted the model can be used for
any of the thin summer silks with
success. Radium silk would be
charming with bands of lace, and. if
it Is desirable to wear the skirt over

A DAILY READER.
Brewn spots. such as you describe,
are APT to make their appearance
when the blood is in bad condition
and the liver is torpid. The last con-
dition is largely responsible for un-
sightlfy facial bfemishes, and when
they take the form of 'liver'' spots
that organ should be treated imme-
diately. If the liver has beep in
active a cathartic must be taken.
Some kind of blood purifier should
also form part of the treatment. Many
persons like s~assafras tea as a puri-
fer. 1t is made by sleeping two
tablespoons of the dried root, broken
into small pieces. in three pints of
boiling water for twenty minutes.

WHY EXPENSIVE FOOD?

Research indicates that a fourfold
mistake in food economy is common
ly made.
First, the costlier kinds of food are
used when the less expensive are
just as nutritious and can be made
nearly or quite as palatable.
Secondly, the diet is apt to be ne
sided, in that foods are used which
furnish relatively too much of the fuel
ingredients and too little of the flesh
forming materials.
Thirdly, excessive quantities of
food are used; part of the excess is
eaten and often to the detriment of
health; part. Is thrown away in the
table and kitchen wastes. &
Finally, serious errors in cooking
are committed.
For the well-to-do the worst injury
is hat to health. but people of small
INCOMES suffer the additional disad-
vantage of injury to the purse. In
deed, to one who looks into the mat
ter 1t is surprising to see how much
people of limited incomes lose in these
ways.
