Her Fathers Choice.
JHanito, at ttoenty, Is living, poor kid,
With an old and irascible father,
Who centrally Is a confirmed invalid
And tchole lot of trouble aud bother.
She 0fues him her tender, solicitous care,
Her kind and dfectionate nursing:
But once every day she goes out for the
air,
And exc for some random conversin1.
For once, tohen she'd let fan her bog to
the street.
Shed met Just the dandiest felotp,
Who told her he thought she toas aptul-
ly stoeet,
And that she should ALWAYS oear
yeHo,0.
And daily they play at the dangerous
game,
Whene'er she slips out of her prison;
He neper has given q thought to her
name,
And she has no notion of hiSn.
So goes, till, one sad, n,opingpictury day,
The unlucky Jather Is dying,
And pretty Juanita, the jolly, the aay,
Juanitd, the daughter, Is crying.
Then Quavers the father, his poics al.

There's only one promise .oont you to

And anspers Juanito, "It's oranted.o

Who made me his debtor By sapin0

And ,oas do,on .oith the fevsr aud

"And there on the spot an agreement

That promise is strict and unbend-

And no one can guess at the ending.
Dependent, at length she goes out on

And, cen as she seeks to discover
The man she must marry-,ohy, tohon

But little old cldndestine Ioverf
She tells him her story-that she is not

She tells him the man she must

And ,Uho does that idiot turn out to be

WHAT SHALL WE EAT2

At this season of the year there Ia
such a wealth of fruits and yegeta'
bles that we should have something
in salads and fruits at least once q
day upon our tables. 1t would be wise
for those who blame the salad for at
tacks of Indigestion to look into the
salad dressing for much Of the trouble.
Mustard in any quantity is decidedly
unwholesome. q mere suggestion Is
enough for those who will. insist upon
its addition. A simple French dress
ing, with salt and pepper for season
ing. can hurt nobody.
A sour cream dressing is also deli
cious. made as follows: Let cup of
cream Just turning sour stand twenty
four hours; then. before using. whip
until thick; add one-half tablespoonful
of sugar, a tablespoonful of lemon

MUST HAVE LINEN cARDcAsE
Fashions Decree Makes II Imperative
to Include This Among Neees-
sary AeeessorIea.

The daintily embroidered cardcase
of linen belongs among the necessary
accessories, and the woman who does
not already possess one should i'm
mediately begin to embroider tho
linen.
The needlework shops sell variety
of designs stamped on coarse or fine
linen. according to the work you de-
sire to place on it.
The thin lingerie frock demands q
cardcase of handkerchief linen, en-
broidered with very fine design:
those done in eyelet embroidery are
the most effective. II you do the tiny
flowers and foliage In solid work, pad
the petals first with darning cotton
and cover this with fine mercerized
cotton. scallop the edges. using the
buttonhole stitch. and whipstitch the
sides together.
With the one-piece frock or tailored
costume should be carried a cardcase
of heavy linen. The design is not SO
1ne on these and can be done with
white or colors.
For instance. II you choose a card
case of naturaLcolored linen. the de-
sign can be effectively done in white.
brown or dark blue. There are few
designs to be worked with the Bulgar-
ian colors. and these are extremely
effective when done In the brilliant
hues on background of tan linen.

London.-A valuable reform which
should be Of much use to the poor has
been made in Holborn. where the bor-
ough council has opened what is call
ed q chapel OF rest" The object Of
the chapel is to provide place to
which the poor can take their dead
pending burial. No charge will be
made. The need of this innovation is
clear and pressing. Thousands of
Londoners live in one-roomed tene-
ments. and when death occurs are
forced for the time to live with their
dead. There are also still about a
thousand underground rooms occu-
pied by the poor. 1t Is hoped that
other borough councils will follow the
example of Holborn.

and approached very wearily. but his

SUMMER HAT MADE AT HOME
crowniess Design Of Net Probably ID
the Best for Amateur MliIIner
to Attempt

1t IL amazing how many amateur
milliners have sprung up since the
new kind of hat came into being.
There are women. many of them, who
do not mind paying good price for a
winter hat or a winter suit. but they
draw the line at fancy price for q
summer hat or a summer gown.
They know the possibilities of the
sun for bleaching out any color and
they know how the open air life they
lead takes all the character out of q
frock. So they prefer to divide the
money into many parts and make 1t
buy many things, and therefore the
chance of making hats at home has a
strong appeal.
1t all looks very easy. and the wom-
an who has skill and clever Idea of
line and color may be able to accom-
plish much, but a word OF warning
should be said to those who are not
sure Of themselves In the field of mil
linery. A homemade hat Is often
worse than homemade gown, and
the best OF the latter Is often spoiled
by the former. The crownless hat
Of net is the best to attempt, as II
is made startlingly like a neck run
and held to the head with a band OF
ribbon.
There are women. you know. who
boast that they have worn their tulle
neck rufrs instead of hats, with
rose at the back and the looped up
hair i'm the middleton the hat 10
crownless-and their public admired
and said: How very becoming"

Tucked SILK Gloves.

The long silk gloves, which have
tucked arms are odd looking. but they
are really far more graceful than the
plain silk glove. For nothing, prob
ably, does more to make thin arm
look thinner and a plump arm lose its
pleasing smoothness than silk gloves
stretched smooth to the elbow. They
generally have to be stretched smooth,
too. to make them meet the sleeves. In
some of the gloves the tucks run up
and down and in some they run
around. Whichever way they go they
break the long straight line and force
the glove arm to lie In folds and
creases-and so make the arm seem
plump and shapely.
