AN OBJECT LESSON
FOR WIVES.

What is the matter with our young
men of today asked a University Of
Michigan professor little while ago.
! And Professor Woodrow Wilson hit the
nail pretty fairly on the head when
he replied, Most of them haven't the
fGsre-to-do spirit of our forefathers.
They're afraid to attempt what their
fathers and grandfathers did"
= Which is true. It's a pretty heroic
young man who will put on cowhide
boots, shoulder a shovel and an axe,
and start out into q new country to-
day. They don't have to, for one
thing. Recently number of Canadian

Paper Parasols
Now in Fashion

And now comes the paper parasol.
That's the very newest fashion. and
it's chance for some very pretty eff
fects for the girl who loves the unique.
Just ordinary japanese parasols
they are. in lovely quaint coloring the
japanese love so we'll. They are real
ly truly Japanese parasols, and the
most effective things you could ever
imagine.
Just around the top there is a ring
of light, and shining through this the
light gives a kind of halo effect most
becoming to the face of the bewitch-
ing young girl.
They are light and cool and con-
venient: and besides all that, they are
waterproof, so that if you are caught
out in a shower earring one of these
apparently perishable sunshades, you
may protect yourself from the rain
exactly as though you were carrying a
big silk umbrella.
But that's not all. They are max
ing these Japanese parasols in great
big sizes, eight. ten and twelve feet in
diameter. They are for use on lawns
and furnish most delightful shade
while they add touch of picturesque
ness to the green lawn. Under one
of these big parasols or a succession
of them nothing could be more de-
lightful for a lawn party than a cum
ming japanese tea.

are the girl who knows just when to

with an evident crouch. You are the
girl who knows when to leave your
employer entirely to his own medita-
tions, who knows when not to inter

rupted. You are the girl who has
made a study of those for whom and
with whom you work, and has devised
your own scheme of humoring all
their whims, and making yourself a
complement to all their deficiencies.

When the thousands of girls leave
the high schools of the country next
month, they will know how to sew,
how to make their hats. how to do
some housekeeping, and how to cook.
For during the past few years
greater importance than ever before
has been attached to the department
of the department of the school cur
riculums which have to do with man
ual training and the domestic arts.
Girls are compelled to take cook
ing and sewing, whether they will or
not. and the girl who gets through
school without knowing the rudiments
of these two very important elements
of a girls education must have gotten
through by some mystic sleight-of-
hand performance, for the study of
these subjects has been made impera-
tive.

And Now Comes the Season of Informal Porch Parties

One of the delights of the we'll
equipped porch during the summer
months is the informal little porch
parties. the afternoon teas and the de-
lightful little chats with friends for
which the porch furnishes just the
most delightful setting possible.
What could be more delightful of
a summers afternoon than for few
of ones most intimate friends to drop
in for a cup of tea, glass of lemon
ade and a sandwich, and bit of cake
while they gossip and chat about the
things of mutual interest?
Or a group of friends may gather
regularly on the porches of their num-
Der for the hour or two of embroid-
cry that is to make their Christmas
shopping less of bore in the months
to come.

the part of the hostess is given a most

to see perfectly onto the street, allow
the cool breezes TO permeate, the
while they exclude the sun and the
gaze of passersby. These aid in fur
nishing privacy to the porch. and also
greatly increase the comfort
With plenty of porch boxes and
baskets added to the shades, the back
ground for the porch living room has
been furnished.
The next question to be considered
is the furnishing of the porch. And
above all things the porch should not
be considered a dumping place for all
the furniture which has been discard
ed from the house. Good, strong fur
niture which will withstand the
changing weather. the sun and the
rain of summer should be selected for
the porch, and it should be, as far as
possible of uniform nature. Wicker,
willow. Chinese straw, old hickory
all these are suitable materials for
porch furniture. OF If there be some
member of the family capable in
making furniture. good substantial
chairs. tables and swings of wood
made in mission style would be splen-
did for the porch. Finished in wealth
er oak. or simply painted dark, cool
green and well varnished-this makes
excellent porch furniture, and may be
easily washed so that there need be
no fear of using it when light sum-
mer clothing is worn.
The amount of furniture required
for the porch depends of course upon
the size of the porch, and the num-
Der in the family. But where space
is limited, seats accommodating two
will be found economical, of space at
least. Porch seats from which the
legs have been removed may be sus-
pended by chains and placed at the
ends of the porch, thus saving space
and making porch cleaning easier.
If possible a table should be placed
on the porch to hold magazines and
papers. If there is not room for this
then holders may be placed on the

Do your shopping early.

Do your shopping early.
No; of course it's nowhere near
Christmas time.
But it's summer time and the
hours between $50 and 700 in the
early evening are about the only day
time hours which salespeople have.
And salespeople are human. just like
the rest of us. And just because they
are human, they like a chance to
breathe the balmy, breezy air of the
later summer afternoon, which comes
to them with even greater freshness
and lure from the very fact that all
during the sunny hours of the day
they have been standing in stuffy,
dusty salesrooms. behind counters
piled with merchandise. And all this
time they've just been waiting for the
chance to get out into the open when
the closing hour came.
All this they could do. Mrs. Shop

What the house is to the family
during the winter months the porch
Is during the summer.
It's the place in which you live.
It's the place where you entertain
your friends. It's the place you sew,
the place you read, the place you
think, and, not infrequently. the place
you sleep.
And it's the place of all other places
which. during the summer months.
should be made attractive.
Don't you just love to go by a house
where the porch looks like a great big
family living room, where there are
rockers and touches and swings and
hammocks, and tables filled with
books and magazines, and here and
there a basket filled with grandmoth-
er's knitting, mothers mending, sis
ter's embroidery and the baby's sew
ing of doll clothes?
