every woman. Here is a model hat

big collar and without the chemi-
settle It is both smart and attrac-
tive, and SO dressy that 1t practically

much simpler. However 1t is treat
ed, the gown is closed at the left of
the front and Tapped in the surplice
son. A very practical feature Is
found in the arrangement of the
shirrings. Those in the back are
stationary, but those in the front are
regulated by means of castings and
ribbons, consequently the size is adj
Unstable, and that fact renders the
gown an excellent n for maternity
wear as well as for ordinary use. In

Foolish Bob in a Quandary
Dear Miss Doom.

Z
/ have known a young lady over two
years and have rome out with her quite
frequently. but a year ago her friend
told me that she didn't like me and we
parted. The other day i received a let
ter from her saying that she was spend
ing two weeks at the mountains. |
don't know why she wrote to me. 1 think
she is trying to make me feel bad or
make me Jealous. / would like to have
your advice. Would 1t be proper for
me to write? 1 would like to find out
whether or not she likes me. Thanking
you, i am, .JEALOUS BOb.
Bob, I think you are a very foolish
boy. In the first place what pos
sessed you to take another persons
word in regard to your friends feel
ing for you? If her actions didn't
show whether or not she liked you
why didn't you spunk up and ask
her? And now you question her mo-
tive in writing to you. Can't you
take her letter, as it was probably
meant, as a friendly little messenger
from the past, and answer it in the
same spirit? How could she make
you mad or jealous by letting you
know that she is taking a little vaca-
ton? In vacation time one has leisure
to write and the impulse to send
greetings from the mountains or sea-
shore grows in strength with the In
MIGRATING air.
And, Bob, If you can't judge Of your
friends feeling by the hundred and
one little signs known only to a
man and a maid, just put the ques-
ton straight from the shoulder.
Above all things, don't commission
her friend to ask the all important
question. One doesn't like to have
such things done by proxy. Speak
for yourself in all things, Bob, and
there won't be much chance of your
being m~isinformed. As the first step
write her a friendly note.

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS
-
Henrietta
Z. Cfau@

Inc .auAaly question is important
at any season. but during summer It
takes on an especial significance
whether it is done at the house or
sent away, for, unless the work is
supervised the daintily sprigged
lawns will be faded. the hufflly ruff
fed muslins viii lose their pristine
whiteness and the silk ties, shirts
and waists will be stiff and harsh.
Colors must be set and stains re-
moved before washing. Strong salt
water win set black: a spoonful of
copperas, or one of sugar of lead
to each pailful of water, will set blue
and pink. A tablespoon of turpen-
tine to a pail Of. water is also used
for blues. Alum viii set green or
almost any color as well as vari-
colored lawns. The colored goods
should not remain in the solution
longer than a half hour and may
then be washed as usual.
DR.. Wiley had this To say of mill
dew stains: A solution of a teaspoon
of chloride Of lime to a quart of
water will remove mildew from ar
ticles immersed In 1t and then laid
in the sun. Wash the articles and
if the stain still shows repeat the
operation. but this will not do for
colored clothes, as chloride of lime
viii bleach the color out of most any
thing, especially If a teaspoon of
sal-soda is added. For colored IA
bries use powdered chalk. Moisten
the stains with cold water, cover
with the chalk and lay in the sun.
Alcohol, too. viii sometimes do the
trick.
Tea and coffee stains may be re-
moved by rubbing with moist pow
dered borax. Let them stand a half
hour and then pour boiling water

Name for Sewing Circle
My dear Miss Doom

M! uear MISS Doom:
Five of us girls would like to start a
sewing circle. Will you, through your
valuable column. suggest an appropriate
name for it? Thanking you In advance,
THE BUSY BEES"
What is the matter with the name
you already have? think 1.-The Busy
Bees" is very appropriate. and is
about the first name that l would
suggest.
If you intend to limit membership
to five o might call 1t THE Busy
Five" or The Star Sewing Circle"
with no reference to the publication
of that name, but to the five points
of the star. However, l do not think
1t good policy to limit the member
ship of any organization. If it Is a
good thing we should pass 1t on to
as many as will take it; If 1t isn't a
good thing we ought to disband 1t.
1.-THE $3.50 Sewers" The Pleas
ure Sewers" 1.-THE Never-Rip Sewing
Circle The Happy Hour Sewing
Circle" are among other appropriate
names.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-The fore

Intended for beginners, especially
those in the upper grammar grades,
this reader by II. c. Nutting, Pm. ID,
assistant professor of Latin, UNIVERSE
ty of California encourages the pupil
to translate ''at sight in the most
natural manner possible. The stories
in the book are drawn largely from
early American history, and not only
are full of human interest but at the
same time afford a most admirable OPP
portunity for the introduction of the
vocabulary and syntax of Latin his
torical narrative. The 40 lessons in
the Reader present matters of Ameri-
can history, short anecdotes, two mar
ratfves from Caesar, simplified, and Sc
lections from the original text OF
Caesar, Nepos, Suetonius, Sallust, and
Cicero. Each lesson has adequate
notes, and in addition to the general
vocabulary at the end of the volume
there lis also word list, which shows
the important new words introduced
into each successive exercise. The pic
lures are of an unusual character and
of such n nature us will appeal es-
pecially to pupils. They represent OBJ
jects used by the Romans and are re-
ferred to in the text Price GO CENTS
