One Way to Be Sane.

THERE Is one thing every mother can
do to help make the Fourth of July
sane; that is to dress her children i'm wool
linen. cotton. lace or other filmy ma
terials to the clothes closet.
1t is said that Mr.. Bronte. father of the
famous author of Jane Eyre" who was
a very brave man. had an uncomfortable
terror of fire. Fortunately he did not
have 10 go through the yearly agony of
Watching his children play with lighted
punk sticks and all sorts of explosives
and fireworks. But the risk of burning
they ran each day seemed tn him hor-
ribe Therefore. he would never allow
wooden frocks. and he would never have
any window curtains draperies about
the house. The house looked bare, it is
said. and doubtless his daughters felt that
he was very unjust in debating to them
the sort of dress they should wear. But,
at all events. none of them was ever
burned to death.
The Fourth of July. if your children
are going to play with firecrackers and
caps and torpedoes and many Of the more
explosive and dangerous connections of
the fireworks makers art. dress them SEN
sibIy. Wool and silk do not ignite so
quickly cotton and linen: wool espe
cially is hard to burn. So. if the day is
not too warm, dress them in wool. Put
wooden suits on the boys. Put wooden
mohair frocks the little girls if the
day is warm. If mohair is too heavy for
comfort old pongee or other silk frocks
can be used with comparative safety.

FavOrs for the Glorious 9TH.

THE shops are full of favors for the
Fourth of July. and they are full,
too. of suggestions for favors which can
be made at home.
In the candy shops boxes covered with
silk and satin and paper in red, white and
blue stripes vie for popularity with other
boxes decorated with small flags. Other
boxes have small cannon crossed guns
and swords on top. and still others show
the famous old Liberty Bell in miniature
or pictured on silk and paper. Shields
knapsacks and firecrackers are other
popular decorations.
Perhaps more can be done with crepe
paper than with any other sort of deco
ration The paper comes in rolls showing
many patriotic designs. One shows wide
red, white and blue stripes running
lengthwise of the roll. and another shows
narrower stripes running the same way.
Another sort has a wide band of blue,
starred with white half the width of the
paper, and the other half divided into red
and white stripes. Another roll shows d
shield, eagle and laurel wreath, another
two flags crossed above shield and an
other design of little flags, shields and
festoons of red and blue ribbon.
from any OF these papers part of the
design can be cut and mounted on card
board for place cards. the names written
Oh tiny strips of white paper and pasted
neatly on the cards. The small flags and
Shields are especially effective used in
this way.
Candle shades can also he made of these
patriotic crepe papers. Four-sided shades
can be cut from heavy paper and the
crepe paper can be cut and pasted over
the foundation. Another pretty sort OF
shade is made from strips of the paper
cut crosSWise of the grain, about five
inches wide. shirred at the top and
decorated with ribbon Shades of plain
red or white crepe paper can be decorated
with narrow red, white and blue ribbon
the blue in the flag would not he an at
tractive color for the foundation OF a
shade, it would throw a heavy, dull
light.
An attractive favor is a Miss Liberty
a small, gold en-haired doll, dressed all in
crepe paper. Her hat. a regular liberty
cap could he made of blue and fecked
with tiny white stars 2t0 of which can
be bought for 10 cents Her skirt might
be OF red. white and blue striped paper
and her bodice could be of white with a
red girdle and trimmings of red ribbon

FOURTH OF JULY PICNIC PLANS
No Breakfast and a Good
Complexion.

A T a summer camp IN the mountains
= last year there was a young woman
whose color and complexion were the
envy and admiration OF every one. She
never appeared until about 10 O'Clock
when the other ca npe-s. after q le,surely
breakfast and half an hour or so spent
in waiting for the mail, had gathered to
receive il on the steps Of the lodge where
they ate and danced together. Then this
girl of the lovely complexion would ap-
pear, radiant, enthusiastic, fresh-dressed
for tennis. golf tramping or boating.
The secret of her freshness lay in an
egg and an orange Instead of eating
breakfast in the usual way she ate an
egg soft boiled over a spirit lamp and
the juice of an orange She ate this
meager but sustaining breakfast in her
room and so was not tempted by the
hot breads and cakes, mullins and meat
dishes which were served in tha camp
dining room. Hence her lovely conlpIex-
ION Moreover. she saved much time
she could eat her breakfast slowly in ten
minutes. and she could eat II without
dressing. Then she had an hour or so
undisturbed in which she could write let
tiers, mend sew or do anything else
which needed daily attention. BY TO-
freshly dressed for the days sport, she
would make an appearance.
The other girls. who had perhaps over
eaten at breakfast to their compilations
harm, had wasted hour or so idly
waiting about for the mail. Their mend
ing and letter writing We're an ever-un-
finished task and burden to them And
more than that, they had gained little
from their early morning chat and idling.
The camp never really woke up until
the middle of the morning The talk at
breakfast and just after it was not in
spring.
The method of this girl might be prac-
ticed by any one away for the summer
TO the Improvement of health, appearance
and state of mind.

Lessons in Economy.

to get rather lightweight muslin,

The unworn parts OF the sheets can be
made into piilowcases. The making Of
sheets and pillowcases is @ trifie. and the
saving on a single sheet is at least 70
cents, to say nothing of the fact that the
quality Of the muslin you buy is better
than the average material used for ready
made bed linen. If you have linen sheets
and pillowcasees, the saving is even more
marked. Aside from the comfort or
sheets three yards long. they wear better.

Keep Quiet and Be Cool
Watch Inhabitants of Tropics or Birds and Beasts
of the Trees and Fields if You Would Learn
to Be Comfortable in Warm Weather.

THE woman who is excessively
warm and uncomfortable in the
warm weather is usually the
woman who bustles and rustles
about from morning until night.
Perhaps she does not accomplish much
But when she is down to rest she sits
down energetically. When she takes
drink of water she drains her glass ca
gerly, hurriedly. She has not learned TO
be reposeful. which. in the summer time,
means that she has not learned to keep
cool
Exercise and activity have their right
full place in warm weather as they have
in cool weather. One of the reasons why
men of temperate climates sometimes are
unable to stand the trgpcs is that they
give up exercising altogether. The phys
ical upkeep must be maintained if the
body IS to fight the heat, and exercise i
one way of maintaining It. But exercise
must be INDUCED in in the cool part Of
the day. and must he taken much like
medicine in the very warm weather. In
the middle of the day quietness must be
the rule.

siesta is the rule. Early in the morning

have a voice in the selection of a post
master for such city.
It is thought by many that in such
cases it would only be fair that both
congressman concerned should be con-
suited, as the enjoyment of the patron
age to be given out will extend for a
period of four years, during most of
which time the city involved will be
located in the district provided for by
