more couples are united on the same
day. Bride and groom do not walk to-

For Our Boy and Girl Readers
THE EMPEROR AND THE FIGS.
Story Of How the King Rewarded the
Old Man,

Old Man.
An emperor, seeing an old man plant
ing q big tree. asked why he was doing
this. The man replied that he might
live to eat of the fruit, but even If he
did not his son would enjoy the figs.
"Well,' said the emperor, IF you do
live to eat Of the fruit of this tree
pray You let me know of it,"
The man promised to do SO, and.
sure enough, his life was prolonged
until the tree grew and bore fruit,
which the old man ate.
Packing some of the finest Of the
figs in a basket, he set out for the
palace and when he explained his er-
rand was shown by the guards into
the emperor's presence
The emperor was so pleased that he
accepted the gift Of the figs and or
dered the old mans basket to be filled
with gold.
Now, next door to this old man there
lived woman who was very covetous,
and, seeing his good fortune, she pack
ed some figs into a basket and per-
suaded her husband to take them to
the emperor in the hope of receiving
In return a basket full of gold.
But the emperor. on learning the
mans Grand, ordered him to stand in
the courtyard and had him pelted with
the figs. When the man arrived home
and told his wife all that had taken
place she consoled him by saying:
..Ah, well! You may be thankful
they were figs and not hard cocoanuts."

. SIMPLE FROCK OF LINEN
BY MAY MANTON

74SS Blouse for Misses and Small
Women, 16 and IL years.
7471 Four-Piece Skirt for Misses and
Small Women, is and Is years.
No girl ever has too many linen
dresses for her summer wardrobe.
Here is one that combines with its
usefulness and siplicity some other
very attractive features. The blouse
is made in two portions with set-in
sleeves and a-big sailor collar. 1t Is
closed at the left of the front by
means of lactng and the sleeves are
opened and lace to harmonic with
his treatment. The skirt is made
in foul pieces in tunic style and the
lower portion is Joined to the upper
to give the appearance of a separate
underskirt. Both fronts and backs
are overlapped in envelope style, but
may be made either pointed or
straight. The skirt may be finished
at either the high or the natural
waist line. In the illustration, the
material is white linen and the lower
portion of the skirt, the collar and
trimming bands on the blouse are OF
black and white stripes. The cords,
which are used for the lacing, are of
black. The skirt Is adjusted at the
high waist line, making, in effect, a
one-piece dress, and this fact, added
to the short sleeves and open neck,
makes the frock thoroughly comfort
able and easy to slip on and off.
If a material that requires less aun-
dering Is desired, pongee with trim
ming Of brown would be very pretty
and very serviceable. For simple
morning wear, bingham or chambray
in solid color with trimming of ma
terial striped in white and the color
of the dress, would be very pretty.
The collar may be of the solid ma
terial with a band OF. the striped. If
the colored material is used, the cords
would be pretty either of white or of
color to match the dress. In any
case, the frock is exceedingly smart
and attractive.
For the 16-year size, the blouse will
require IA yards Of material n, 1B
yards 36 OF III yards A inches wide
with u yard " inches wide for the
trimming and 2 yards of cord for
the laces; the skirt, "A yards q,
3A yards SO or 21s yards A inches
wide for the upper portion, III yards

the lower portion. The width of the
skirt at the lower edge is 2 yards.

7471 are both cut in sizes for misses
of IS and IS years. They will be
mailed to any address by the fashion
department of this paper on receipt
of ten cents for each.

Juice Before Breakfast.

Dear Miss Doom
/ nave read about the juice OF one

taken before breakfast as q tonic for the
stomach, cleansing IL of mucous. What
| really want to know is whether an
orange will answer the same purpose as
the lemon. And also tell me which of the
two is the best for clearing a complex
lon, orange or lemon? / have read about
the lemon clearing the complexion.
Kindly let me know whether sugar can
be added to the lemon juice and still do
the same work. Sugar Is not mentioned,
and it is too sour to drink without it.
l am, MRS. j.. s.
Yes, lemon juice and water taken
before breakfast form an excellent
tonic for the stomach and also a
good reducing agent for those in
clined to be too stout. Orange juice
is also good in the morning, but I
have not heard that 1t will take the
place of the lemon. Instead of add
ing the sugar try increasing the
amount Of water. This will relieve
the extreme and will grad
ually accustom you to the acid taste.
Then by degrees you can lessen the
amount of water. Sugar taken in
any form on an empty stomach is
likely to disagree, while the plain
lemon is a good preparation for the
days work.

intestinal surfaces and helps in the
elimination of excretia.
Bran can be made into a mush,

To Remove Dye Stain.

Dear Miss Doom:
viii you please print In your paper
how to take out dye stains from a linen
dress? The dye ran in washing 1t. IT
IS a brown border and 1t ran into the
goods. and oblige, L.. W.
If the linen is white boil it for quite
a while and then leave it in the sun
for a day, wetting the stained portion
frequently. If this doesn't remove the
stains try javelle water. Place side
by side two bowls, n of javelle
water, the other of clear water, to
which a very little ammonia has
been added. Dip the garment into
the first bowl, remove it quickly and
then rinse it thoroughly in the sec
ond bowl. OF course. either of these
treatments will act ON the brown of
the border. so if you do not desire to
have it bleached you will be forced to
let the dye stains continue to exist.
