So Grandfather Frog waded out into

Grandfather Frog didn't answer. He
kept right on watching his toes. Mr..

These are usually combined with a plain

There is a blouse and short tunic skirt

rose and yellow posies, with blue pre-

and facings are of plain blue crepe or silk,
and there is a long sash of black or rose
colored satin and tied in the back.
The blouse is cut with triangular
closing. leaving a space above the belt
and below the neck. This is filled in by
a plain shirred yoke of white net. The
sleeves are set under a corded seam into
the dropped armholes and are finished
at the wrist with net ruff1es. The tunic
skirt is arched trifle across the front

in place against the blouse with white
ball buttons. The underskirt is plain and

SHORT TALKS ABOUT
HOUSEFURNISHING
BY KATE GREENLEAF LOCKE.

When New York girl returned from
Japan recently she brought with her a
new scheme for the decoration OF her
room She has carried it out, and now
the result is so enhancing that l shall
describe it. As she was fortunate enough
to see Japan in cherry blossoms season.
her scheme was pink in the pale pearly
tones of the cherry bloom; while, also
pearly (neither dead white nor cream,
the black of teakwood. and the blue of
the sky in Japan. With this picture in
her mind, she set to work to reproduce
her color Impressions through the decOra-
ton of her room.
She began by having her woodwork
ebonized and the three-foot frieze that
ran round the walls was outlined with
a fiat band of black wood at top and
bottom The walls were covered with
canvas in a soft gray tone, and the
frieze Of cherry blossoms against a pale
blue and pink and white morning sky
was beautifully painted by Japanese
artist Over the ceiling a wash of pale
blue carried out the effect Of a sky in the
early light of day.
Her idea after having accompanied this
frieze was to subdue the remainder Of
the room in it's furnishing so that nothing
would detract the attention from the SUI
preme beauty of the frieze. She knew
that she must make it of a light and
airy character, for the wall picture be-
spoke the delicate brightness OF spring

Grandfather Frog Watches HIS
Toes.

Copyright. 1918. by J. 6. LloydD

Grandfather Frog sat among the bull
rushes on the edge of the Smiling Pool
Over his head Mr.. Redwing was singing
as II his heart would burst with the very
joy of springtime.
"Tra-la-la-lee, see me! See me!
Happy am | as l can be.
Happy am l the whole day long,
And so / sing my gladstone song!
OF course. Mr. Redwing has happy.
Why shouldn't he be? Here 1t was the
beautiful sprngtime, the gladdest time OF
all the year. the time when happiness
crept into everybody's heart. Grand
father Frog listened. He nodded his
head.
"Chugarum. I'm happy. too said
Grandfather Frog. But even as he said
1t a little worried look crept into his
big goggly eyes and then down to the Cor
ners OF his big mouth. which had been
stretched in smile. Little by little the
smile grew smaller and smaller until
there wasn't any smile. No, sir. there
wasn't any smile. Instead Of looking
happy, as he said he felt, Grandfather
Frog actually looked unhappy.
The fact is he couldn't forget what
Jerry Muskrat and Little Joe Otter had
told hn-that there was something the
matter with the Smiling Pool. He didn't
believe it. not word of it. At least

The little shop where this gown was
made is like a garden bower, and the
model who wears its sits in garden

that goes with her gown, and If she feels
like being especially pictorial she puts on
a tiny sunbonnet of blue and white plaid

An Idea by Jeanne Lanvin.
1t was that fertile inventor of chiidrens
clothes named Lanvin in Paris who be-

early in the season. An American i'm
porter instantly saw the charm Of the
idea for his own rich clientele and he was
artist enough to match it with parasol
and put them both as part of a garden
costume on an alluring model.
The bait took and sunbonnets of ging-
ham are the fashion to wear when you
have a garden and you are a lover of
flowers and the open. You do not sit on
the piazza with your sunbonnet on. hut it
takes the place of a garden hat when one
is in the sunshine.
