A proposed bill is in the hands of
the Missouri legislature which will pro-
hibit Sunday baseball games in that
state. Should this bill become law.
the st. Louis Browns and the Cards

Certainly the little tots never had such
delightful toggery designed for them as
one sees this season. With the coming
of warm weather the children need twice
as many clothes as in winter, SO there
is greater variety in their modes.
The little frock illustrated today makes
definite appeal to those whose sewing
rooms are filed with fabrics for little
dresses. 1t may be carried out in lawn,
pink or blue being used for the skirt and
white for the detachable blouse or the
dress may be made in linen In fact any
two contrasting fabrics would be appro-
priae for the development of this model.
The blouse has the sleeves cut in one
with it, and the lower edges are seal
Hoped. Here, however, one may ring in a
number of ideas. using a straight edge
and finishing it with lace, or scalloping
the edge and giving it a narrow frill of
lace for finish. Buttonhoie embroidery
also makes a good edging.
The pattern comes in five sizes, from
4 to IL years, and consists of six pieces:
Front back and cap sleeve in one piece

PRACTICAL LESSONS FOR
THE HOME DRESSMAKER

lower edges of outer front, back and cap
sleeve in scalIoped outline, cut out on
small 90 perforations.
The first step in the making Is to slash
the outer front and back on lines of the
small 30 perforations, after which the
edges should be finished for ribbon to
pass through. Regardless Of the ma
terials used. nothing makes more eff
fective trimming just here than does vel
vet ribbon. A great many mothers. now
ever. prefer to lace soft satin through
the missions. If the frock is not made of
a tub fabric, the slashed openings may be
bound with black satin, silk or braid.
Close the underarm and sleeve seams
as notched, then turn the hem in the
right back as notches.
The skirt is attached to an underbody
of plain muslin, for which yard or ma
terial will be needed. 1t requires three
and three-quarter yards of thfrty-six-
inch goods for the dress. or three yards
of forty-five-inch goods. As suitable Fab
RIGS are found in great variety from 10
cents a yard upward at this season, IT Is
easy to make the dress for less than 81,
including the satin for the belt.
To make the underbody, face front and
back from neck edges to small ''o' per-
forations to form the yoke. Close under
arm seam as notched. close shoulder
seam. Turn hem in right back at notches.
Sew collar to neck edge as notched.

A DAILY HINT TO
WORKING GIRLS
Keeping Cool.

The other day a girl 1 know, who Is
cashier at tea and lunch room, told me
she took no interest in her work. I'm
using 1t simply as means to live by till
get something l really want, and I'm
not going to exert myself bit more
than have to over it, she said.
And another girl would not trouble to
fix up a room where she was to spend
six months.
1T isn't worth while making things
look pretty, since I can't stay here after
this season." was her explanation.
1t set me thinking Here was one girl
who lost all the opportunities presented
by her job because she meant finally to
get something else to do. Yet the chance
to learn business methods. the chance to
improve herself, to find her weak spots
and build up her strong ones, lay right
to hand. Instead, she was training her.
self in careessness and losing the en-
joyment given by work well done, an
enjoyment all workers know who use
themselves thoroughly.
The second girl cut six months of con-
tent, peace and charm out Of her life
simply to save herself the bother Of un-
packing a couple Of trunks and arrang-
ing her belongings according to her taste.
She hated the place she stayed in be-
cause of it's lack of LONELINESS and COM
fort. and only thought of the time when
she could go away.
These matters may seem but the odds
and ends of life, yet if you stop to think
you will discover that most of life is
lust a combination of such short ends
and odd lots. We are continually meet
ing people and liking them. only to lose
them again out of our daily life. We are
beginning things that last but a. short
while, whether we realize it or not. We
leave one environment for another, one
lob for another. one home for another.
Then don't let make the mistake of
undertaking. the odds and ends of life.
Do whatever Is to be done with will
and as though it were the only thing
YOU expected to do, and you will get
fun and happiness out of it as we'll as
results of a more tangible kind.

Green Corn Season.

There is no other vegetable of which
so much can be made as the typicaliy
American sweet green corn. Some per-
sons insist that no dish is more delicious
than corn on the cob. but there is a GER
tain art which must be mastered Ii even
this simple dish is to be well prepared
One way to boil 1t is to select thick, short
ears and remove all OF the husk excepting
the inner layer. Strip that down and take
OF all the silk and cut out the grains
that are dried or discolored Tie the
husk over the ear again and boil 1t twenty
minutes In deep covered pot, or fifteen
minutes II the ears are small. Then re-
move the string which holds the husk In
place and serve either in the husks or
without the husks on folded napkin.
Another way to prepare corn ON the
COD Is to remove the outer leaves and

the sweetest ears are the freshest The
sweetness dries out of the ears after they
have been picked any length of time
Stewed green corn and tomatoes are
good together. To prepare them cook
twelve ears Of corn in sailed water for
fifteen minutes and then cut the kernels
off the cob. Cut two pounds of firm, ripe
tomatoes in pieces, with pepper, salt and
butter, and cook In covered saucepan
at simmering heat until they are tender
Mix the corn and tomatoes and serve as
a vegetable.
Green corn, boiled and then grated
from the cob Is delicious and easily pre-
pared. and, as the grating breaks the
thick coating OF the kernels which makes
corn indigestibie to some persons, it is
a good way to prepare it. Green corn
sailed and served with cream is another
delicious dish. 70 prepare 4his cook six
ears of green corn with the silk removed

In fifteen or twenty minutes drain the
ears and cut the corn from them care
fully. Add the corn to cupful of hot
cream sauce. half a cupful of cream half
an ounce of butter, and seasoning of pep
per, salt and little grated nutmeg. Put
these ingredients in a frying pan and
cook them gently for five minutes. Serve
Immediately from hot dish.

ATTRACTIVE EVENING GOWN IN
BLACK, WHITE AND ROSE COLOR
the dresses last year The model illus
trated is a pleasing development of this
idea in a summer evening gown.
Wonderfully attractive with daintii-
ness all their own are the evening frocks
that are built of shadow laces combined
with or made over charmeuse. Some
times the lace Is arranged in a series of
founces upon foundation of net or
there is one single lounce that is accor-
dion or knife plated and an overdress
made to fall over it in apron effect in
front with, perhaps. a long draped panel
back.
Novelty in evening gowns is recognized
in unique touches rather than in decid-
ed innovations. Many design that ap-
pears at first glance to be something en-
tirely new will upon closer observation
be found to be made up upon familiar
lines, differently arranged, or else,
quite as likely. it is an odd material that
turns the trick
This is aptly illustrated in the model
sketched. None of it's features is of
stnkingly recent Introduction. and yet
the modernity of the pretty gown could
not possibly be questioned.
For it were used black and white
shadow lace, white charmeuse and chif
fon. The white chiffon makes up the
short sleeved blouse with It's V-neck
partly filled in by fold Of maline. Both
the black and the white lace have
saw-tooth edge and the white is used
for the double edged ruffle at the sleeve
ends, which is caught in to the sleeves
by a wisp of white maline. It Is also
used to cover the lower half of the
blouse. stitched to the Chiffon, but below
this is an outstanding ruffie of the black
lace caught in at the waist by glrdle
of rose-colored satin.
The upper skire flounce is of black
lace and the lower of white hangs well
below it. The underskirt of white char
meuse is attached to net foundation
and gathered in at the feet under band
of the rose-colored satin, which Is tied
at one side in large trailing bow.
