MOTHER AS A SHOEMAKER

When my baby got to the crawling
stage / used to find 1t very difficult
to keep his little pink toes warm and
covered. The young Turk poked them
through wooden bootees in no time,
and seemed to think that tiny kid
shoes were only put on SO that he
might have the pleasure of kicking
them off.
At last. in despair, l turned shoe
maker myself. and determined to
make comfy little pair of slippers
that would stay on.
First I unearthed a pair Of old
elbow-length tan gloves of my own,
and then proceeded to cut out a sole
and upper from each arm, with pair
of bought shoes as a pattern.
At the same time l cut out lining
of a firm material 10 make my handi-
work quite firm and neat. Then I
stitched the kid and lining of the
upper together on the wrong side and
Joined up the back of the heel after

Have You Noticed2


Have you noticed how tremendous
ly Charlotte's figure has improved
lately? She used to be one of those
people who stuck out in front and be-
hind quite an ugly way. But now she
seems to be so much better balanced
than she was. Do you think she has
been going in for a course of physical
culture?"
"No, don't Charlotte hasn't the
time to waste on physical culture.
She has only taken to wearing a gown
with the new pocket skirt" says the
Philadelphia Enquirer.
"In these skirts the drapery sticks
out at the sides just below the line
of the hips, so that it balances the
figure and quite takes away that big
beforehand behind look which some
women have.
at is such a becoming style for
anyone whose figure is not quite ideal.
You see, when you are wearing it
no one who looks at you can tell
which is the dress and which is you.
80 they give the dress credit for
all the bunchiness. and you credit
for all the pretty lines. 1t is style
which will prove most popular for
invalid gowns and teagowns, and
things of that kind"

l am sure your apple cake must
be very good. 1t sounds" good.
Lowing method of making beef tea:
Have a meat press or a small
fruit press. Cut the beef in small
enough pieces to fit into the press,
one piece at time. Then take a
piece and slash it across several
times both ways, SO that the juices
may easily escape. Put on a broiler
over the fire and heat just enough
to start the juices to running. Put
in the press and press until all the
juice Is extracted. Proceed thus
with each piece. A slow task and
hard one, but 1t is well worth the
trouble. A little boiling water and
n pinch of salt may be added. Stir,
and serve very hot.
I think your little girl will relish
this beef tea, which is a splendid
body builder.
Who knows how to make light
ming cake?
i do not know whether the name
refers to the quickness with which
the cake is made or the effect 1t
has upon the consumer.
Send in your recipe, somebody.
please.

The little bands 1 hemmed neatly
by hand and finished them off with
a brown button and buttonhole. Then
/ stitched the sole-which l had
already Joined to its lining-to the
upper, inside out, of course, and
finally slip-stitched another lining to
the sole, to make it tidy.
In less than an hour my first at
tempt at shoemaking was finished,
and the baby had a comfy pair of
slippers which fitted his little feet
perfectly and absolutely refused to
be kicked off.
That was eight. months ago, and
baby still wears little brown shoes
made in the same way. He also has
some white ones for best occasions
made from gloves as we'll and finished
with tiny pom-poms. They look very
charming, and are much admired.
But, unfortunately. they soil so
quickly that l find the tan ones far
more useful for everyday wear

Fighting With Boone
RY HOWARD FALK.


The mighty grandeur of a magnifi-
cent Kentucky forest outlined against
a cloudless sky. met the gaze of two
of Boones scouts, youths in their
eighteenth year. The mighty work
of nature and the beautiIul SKY neld
them spellbound. Even Boone him
self the sight impressed, although he
was used to it.
Truly, tits a fine picture that no
artist could paint said Brown Elk,
one of Boone's Indian scouts, to his
companion, John Forester, in his own
dialect.
You are right, Brown Elk" said
Boone, striding up, but the question
now is that we have more food, for
we know not when we may be at
tackled, so / am going to send hunt
ing party out under Forester here,
with you as scout, Elk"
Boone, firm, resolute, noble and
keen-eyed, stood watching the forest,
his form silhouetted against the sky.
Here was the man who was feared
by the treacherous savage and loved
by his followers. Taking deep
breaths of the crystal air he stood
looking so strong, brave and noble
that many Of his followers stood
watching him admiringly. Then, in
illo AiCdito1tOii5 AiC ooAo W
Brown Elk:
Come to my tent; I want to say
something to you in private"
In the tent he said: While watch
ing the forest 1 saw one of your race
in a tree. l have reason to believe
he is a scout who intends to get a
small force nearby and attack For

men started after Boone, first lettint
them all into the plan.

and Brown Elk had no difficulty il
following him.

PINK LINGERIE FAvoRITE FOR SUMNER WEAR

elaborate as one wishes, but the I'M
der one is properly of lightweight
sateen, quite plain, save for two self
plaitings on the edge.
To allow freedom in walking, tennis
playing and the general outdoor de-
mands for swift, free motion, this I'M
derslSirt is slit at the side. Last year
the fashion for under petticoats pro-
vided that they should be made of
cotton poplin and not slit.
They were very hot and awkward.
The sateen petticoats are naturally
a great Improvement. Some may be
had without the plating, slit on the
side and scalloped and buttonholes
, edged.
Princess slips are made with a deep
| flounce put on almost straight. This
| fiounce Is slit in the centre of the
front for some eight inches.
Ribbons are used for shoulder
| straps instead of the lace straps of
last year. Ribbon straps, in fact
are used this season with all the
lingerie designed for evening wear.

Decorations for a Shower
Dear Miss Doom,

Dear Miss Doom
VIII you please print a few sug-
gestions for linen shower What
card games would be appropriate to
play. ETA HI.
Naturally, the heart will figure
prominently in the decorations at
almost any kind of an affair in
honor OF a prospective bride, and
1t is just as natural to select hearts
as the card game to be played.
A novel idea carried out at a re-
cent affair for an engaged girl was
a silence" party. Guests were
warned that every utterance would
demand a penny fine. AS they
entered the hostess bowed silently,
finger on her lips. Every giggle de-
manded a penny. While they were
seated at table a mechanical mouse
was wound u by the hostess and
sent gliding 'oss the floor. The
shrieks that ronowed resulted in
veritable shower of coppers.
AS soon as order was restored 1t
seemed that luncheon was about to
be served, but to half of the guests
were given empty plates and the
others were served with artificial
fruit, eggs, etc.
Under the table was fastened
loud gong that was rung occa-
sionally, ostensibly to call the maid,
but really to startle the guests into
breaking the silence. For fifteen
minutes everything was done to in
duce a laugh or exclamation, and

Don't believe a word about there
being "as good fish in the sea as ever
were caught" writes a contributor
to the Philadelphia Record. 1t is a
silly and vulgar old saying, unworthy
of any true lover repeating it. Know
that the man you love is king
among men and should be treated so,
and see to it that you make yourself
a queen worthy to be his mate.
Know that love is the most precious
gem that any lover could offer you,
and once you accept it at least take
the ordinary precautions that you
would take with jewels to see that it
Is not misplaced or neglected.
If the love that you think you feel
does not make of you a new and
more generous creature than you
have ever been before, beware of it.
Either your lover lacks sincerity or
your own honesty will bear looking
into.
The girl who stoops to conquer love
remember this-is never put on a
pedestal and worshipped by the man
she seeks TO ensnare.

Household Deodorizer

An excellent household deodorizer
is little pan of cloves which have
been sprinikled with a few drops of
spirits of lavender.
Put few bits of charcoal into the
bottom of the pan. If the charcoal is
not convenient some bits of orange
peel will do. as they soon turn into
charcoal. Sprinkle the cloves liber-
ally on these. and when wanted to
perfume the house place on the stove
until they begin to smoke.
The fumes will soon penetrate the
house, and is very much like the odor
of the carnation. 1t will effectively
cover the cooking odors, as of fish,
cabbage, turnips and the like.

The curious modes which women
affect now began as far back as
1898, which is period we should
hardly wish to copy in most re-
spects. says the Asbury Park Press.
A dance not at all unlike the tango
was in vogue at that time and had
many opponents, who danced in loose
bodices opening in a V-shape from
the shoulders almost to the waist.
skirts were slit and were often made
of transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns OF
that period, which were without
waists, having simply a girdle to the
bust, with skirts caught up rather
short in front and slightly trained at
the back. In 1900 women wore SAN
dals and bare feet. Corset belts were
only about two inches wide.
Some gowns were caught up to the

Pink lingerie is being worn this
summer, but it is far from practical,
for it washes in streaks and spots
unless carefully laundered and even
then often needs retinting. White is
more satisfactory.
The fit of the undergarment governs
the fit and therefore the appearances
of the upper garments and dress, SO
it should be chosen carefully, writes
a contributor of the Asbury Park
Press, In the combination suits those
with a drawing ribbon at the waist
rather than a merely fitted in waist
line are preferable. By making Use
of the drawing ribbon the garment
may be made to blouse as the dress

Few women seem to know how to

then the ban was lifted and a
dainty meal served.
The place cards, which also served
as favors, were printed notices
praising silence, and with the
guests names written on the mar
gin. The fines were used to buy a
cook book for the honored guest,
and also a leather-covered book,
into which was pasted the recipes
brought by the guests.
Why not present the gifts in this
manner:
Play a blindfold game, such as
pinning the Ratchet to the turkeys
neck-this is exactly the same as
the famous donkey game-and when
the bride-elect's turn comes have
the girls tiptoe to where the gifts
have been piled, each taking one
and standing in a circle about the
guest of honor. Then, when every
body is ready, drop the things with
a loud clatter-of course, [ do not
mean the breakable ones-a pull
the bandage from her eyes. She
will then be in the centre of a
circle of packages, which she must
set on the floor and open. while
the others sit outside the gift circle
and pass comments.

passed them in chase after a but

first chance he got what she was

Turning, Davie saw that farmer
John had unhftched the horses
from the hay wagon and was har-
Messing them to the big hay rake
which was really a kind of
wagon, with two wheels and a seat,
and the prongs of the rake curving
under behind.
you just watch how this rake
gathers up the stray bits" said
farmer John, clucking his tongue to
the horses to start.
Dorothy thought privately that
there was no hay to be gathered;
that the few wisps scattered here
and there amounted to nothing.
But wise farmer John knew better.
The few wisps" gathered under
the rake to form a big, big bundle.
Over and over the field he went,
and at last it was all ready to be
piled on top of the load. Father
Dear jumped up to stamp the hay
down as Mr.. Jones spread it about.
Then Mr.. Jones cried, "All aboard"
and everybody scrambled up, while
the horses were hitched once more
to the hay wagon.
Then they started home.

campment he halted and entered an
open space. Boone was right. There
were ten Indians there, just double
the hunting party, excluding Brown
Elk.
Brown Elk perched himself in a
tree and saw the Indian walk to an
Indian in blue war paint who seemed
to be chief. The young Indian spoke:

various orders and the men started.

they started toward him, for capture
meant death, as II was known he

bark was scraped on the tree he was

Using Powder on the Face

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please tell me how l can
keep powder on my face. When l
go out and use powder 1t always
rubs off within a short time. Miss
Doom. does powder cause the skin
to become irrltated? My skin is
always irritated, it seems, and
never clear.
You say you are only sixteen
years old. My dear child, you
shouldn't be thinking of powder
and dances, but rather of tennis
and fairy tales. If you start using
powder at the age of sixteen, by
the time you are twenty-five your
face will be wrinkled.
To have a healthy complexion,
observe these rules:
Go to bed early, sleeping with the
windows open.
Eat substantial food, avoiding all
sweets.
Physical exercises taken in the
morning are beneficial to the COM
plexion.
Drink plenty of water.
If you do all these things you
won't need powder. and you will
have asclear and wholesome COM
plexion in the bargain.
