Despite the high cost Of living de-
posits in savings banks have increased
steadily. The report of the comptroller
of the currency for the year ending
June IA shows that on that date there
were 1926 savings banks in the
United States, forty-one more than a
year previous. These banks had
10000, 8o4 depositors and deposits ag-
gregating $4,45O, 822,522.
In the year the number of deposi-
tors increased by 215,0oo, or about 2
per cent; the deposits increased by
$23S,000,000, or about 81 per cent. In
the previous year the number of de-
positors increased So per cent and the
deposits about 3.5 per cent. Obvious
ly, therefore, the average depositor has
increased his deposit, and the comp
troller gives the average deposit this
year as $14.55 more than last year S
average, which was $4,000.
Have the postal savings banks
drawn away from other savings banks9
1t seems probable that they have only
slightly affected those banks, if at all
appreciably. The average deposit in
the postal bank is less than $780,
Merely as agencies for the promotion
of the habit of saving the postal banks
are valuable, and they are made use
Of by many who would not become de-
positors in other savings banks or who
transfer their accounts TO other banks
when the total has reached satisfac-
tory mount.-Record-H Herald.

New Way to Make Apple
Dumplin9s
Served With Hard Sauce or Cream
aud SUGAR

By Mrs. Janet 1fcKenSie Hill, Editor OF
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
Here is new way to make apple
dumplings that will surely please every
housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
it. The biscuit part forms a crispy
shell that holds the apples and juice.

MusIins and VoiIes.

Most Of the white dresses much admired
at the seaside resorts are In q variety OF
painted muslins and voiles. In some In
stances the colored flowers rest upon
white ground. while In others tho white
blossoms are scattered on pale pink. pale
blue, pale green or pale yellow. but these
foundations are so faint In hue that the
effect of the entire dresses appears almost
white in the distance.
Cherry, apple. pear and plum blossoms
seem the favorite designs at present, es-
pecially in white. These are rarely rep
resentd in bunchs or garlands: there Is
a pretty vogue for scattered flowers. as
IL q gust of wind had strewn the blossoms
on the transparent materials.

Flower Flames.

Many are the schemes that lend them
selves to the expression OF the artistic
floral arrangements utilized for the pur-
pose Of converting the eyesore of the
empty crate into summer semblance of
the glowing hearth Of winter time,
One such arrangement comprises long
oak trough filled with wet sand and
banked with layers Of moss. A glowing
mass Of color was provided by the beauti-
full red hues Of the verbena, which. banked
with ferns arranged sufficiently high to
form a screen that yelled the back Of the
fireplace. made q striking note Of color In
room that was otherwise furnished In
neutral shades.
In rooms that are already made bright
by means Of gayly colored chintz cover
ings and papers the decoration Of the
fireplace should tend toward more sober
effects.
charming idea is a tall vase of q
classic design filed with the foliage Of
the copper beech in its various tones
fanked at each side by q smaller vase
containing a rose, interspersed with

Latest American Fashions

Linens are made up with the utmost

Little Journeys Into
the Fashion Land

Are handbags going out of fashion? It
is noticeable that women are not giving
them the allegiance Of former years: at
any rate, they are not carrying them SO
much. but are relying upon the little hand
kerchief pockets that are placed in the
corsage, the sleeve and even in the brirn
Of the hat.
They are also producing again the old
world chatelaine, with its purse. pencil,
memoranda tablets. vinaigrettes and other
trifies of utility and beauty. Meanwhile,
some exceedingly beautiful bags are being
sold FOR those who still like them, and
among them the shot silk models dec
GRATED with cut steel and gilt beads and
fringe to match are a very elegant sum-
mer choice.
Moire silk wallets with a specially beau
center are smart, and the limp morocco
envelope models mounted with silver-gilt
rims are exceedingly smart for ordinary
wear.
One of the daintiest bags has a crystal
snap inclosing spray of lucky white
heather Evidently the bag makers are
going to tempt us to adhere to our allie
glance to reucules by producing some
very special destinations.
Successors to the printed muslins that
were so much seen in previous seasons
are the patterned ninons, some of them
quite exquisite in their combinations of
tones. A pale cool gray In one of these.

inc Billy Postum lost no time in get
ting over to the dead tree in the Green
Forest, where Jimmy Skunk had seen the
stranger go to roost for the night. Unc
Billy wanted to get there before the
stranger had gone to sleep, for If it
really was his Old friend Or Mistah Buzz
zard, as Unc' Billy felt sure 1t was, he
had just got to say "howdy'' that very
night.
Now Unc' Billy is seldom caught nap
ping, so though he was very sure that
this was his old friend he didn't intend to
run any risk of furnishing a good sup
per for a hungry hawk. So. as Unc' Billy
drew near the dead tree he crept up very
still and carefully until he was where he
could see the stranger clearly. There he
sat on q branch Of the dead tree. He was
dressed in sooty black. and he sat like
an old man. his head drawn down and
his shoulders hunched up. His head was
bald and wrinkled.
Unc' Billy took one good look and then
he let out q whoop that made the
stranger stretch out his long neck and
begin to grin In pleased surprise.

ABUSING PRIVILEGES.

abusing privileges. Sometimes their con-

An Easy Lesson in
Home DreSSmakinq

Pockets in boys clothing must be made
amply large; one piece should be one
inch longer than the other. The longer
piece should be faced at the top with
piece Of the cloth two inches wide. and
this should be stitched fiat.
To adjust the pocket, If the opening is
straight, turn down the upper edge of
the smaller piece one-auarter OF an inch
and place it with the raw edge just turn
ed next to the wrong side of the gar
ment. and haste it in position with the
upper edge one-eighth of an inch below
the pocket opening. Stitch from the
right side. Lay the longer piece on top
of the pocket piece just sewed with the
cloth facing next to the garment and the
lower edges Of the pieces perfectly even,
one-eighth Of an inch above the upper
edge Of the pocket opening. Basic this
to the garment straight across and stitch
from the right side.
The stitching used to finish the pocket
will ho.d each piece in place. after which
the edges OF the pockets are turned over
one-quarter Of an inch all around. and
stitched. The ends Of the pockets are
finished on the right side with button-

This is made by taking several stitches
so that the threads show and working
over them with button hole stitch. If
these directions are not perfectly clear
examine the pocket in mans garment
and you will at once understand how to
go about the work.
The side pockets In the trousers are
made by basting to. the front portion q
piece Of cloth one and one-half inches
wide and sufficiently long to extend one
half inch above and one inch below the
notches at the top and bottom that in
dictate the pocket opening. The two pock-
ct pieces are cut from lining material
and must be amply large, the size vary
ing with the age of the boy for whom
they are intended. Both pockets are the
same size.
Basic one side of the pocket piece to
the front OF the trousers over the facing
just applied. so that one row OF stitch 'ng
will hold them both. and stitch from
notch, then stitch the edge Of the fac
ing to the pocket. The other piece of
the pocket should be scanned to the pocket
opening of the back portion Of the trou-
sers. SO as to bring the seam on the
wrong side. The seam Is turned back on
the pocket and stitched fiat one-eighth
of an inch from the edge on the right

The outside leg seam of the trousers
may now be basted and stitched with an
ordinary seam that Ia turned toward the
front and stitched again on the right
