MELVIN SHEPPARD SAYS
 WE'LL WIN IN 0LYMPIAD''

- Melvin W. Sheppard, the peerless middle distance runner of the coun- try, is very jubi'ant as to what he is going to do at the Olympiad, which will be held in Sweden next June. In very boasting way he said that he would win at least three events namely, the 400, 800 and 1,500 metre runs.
 Any man who beats me will have to smash record said Melvin. Be- sides winning the aforesaid races, he predicts that an American will win the 1,600metre relay, which he hopes to run in.

 Chance is not over-enthusiastic about Safer, but has confidence in the young ster, and asserts he is continually inn proving and is fellow who seems to acquire the fine points of baseball quickly. Safer is heavy hitter and steps into the ball nicely, but has the fault of chasing slow curves. Chance says a ball player will not chase them all his life and is bound to overcome the habit some time. He declares 1t will not be long before Safer does and then he will be one of the hardest stickers in the National League.

WILL KEEP GOWN IN SHAPE
inexpensive and Satisfactory Frame
That Any One May Put To-

Cut a piece of heavy cardboard II
inches long and eight inches wide and
shape one side of It like coat hanger
Now punch small hole In the center
one inch from the top. and tie piece
or ribbon or tape through 1t to make
a loop to hang It on
In the lower edge make two holes
six inches apart and either insert
large safety pins or sew In hooks to
hang the skirt or your gowns to.
This makes an inexpensive and very
satisfactory frame to hang your sum-
mer lingerie or linen frocks and waists
upon. keeping them fresh for long
time after they have been ironed.
These hangers may be padded with
raw cotton and covered with fancy
silk or lowered silkoline. A delicate
sachet powder sprinkled over the cot
ton adds greatly to their attractive
ness and perfumes the gown as well.

Gift For Rahv.

Babies always need blbs, and Il is
easy to make these. They may be
plain ones or fancy, finished with EN-.
broidery lace or feather-stitching but
an important point to remember when
making bib is to fit a pad of absor-
bent cotton under the outer-covering.

mouth will soak through and ruin the
dainty frock underneath.
A FELLOWSHIP is also a nice gift for
baby. II may be made of fine linen.
embroidered on each end with dain-
ty spray of blossoms. This should
cover small down pillow.
Another idea is a bassnette or car

buds worked in natural coored floss.

rate, crochet lace medalions may be

several flesh and ivory shades.
First apply a good cold cream. then
dust on the powder, rubbing II well

sorbent cotton. BE careful to have
the powder evenly distributed. MAX

slightly curled. and the most amen

jeweled spider web, fastening from
rings worn on the thumb or index fin
gers and little fingers on to a narrow,

All these hand ornaments, together
with the several bracelets It is now
