Styles has an appreciable intrinsic
value all it's own.
1t is a rather elusive commodity,
but there are occasions. and they are
not infrequent, when it will achieve
victories as surely, and in the same
way, as personality can and does. 1t
is an embracing possession; it af
fects appearance, tone and manners.
It's value today is higher than it
ever was. Few people can really af-
ford to do without it. Its influence is
far reaching. and no one can say
where the end of its effect is likely
to be.
And yet, with it all-and 1T can GER
tainly. be regarded as a commercial
asset nowadays comparatively few
people seem to trouble themselves
about acquiring it. For it can be
acquired. If it happens to be born
in you so much the better of course;
but you are not in the least hopeless
ly Handicapped If it does not happen
to come about in this pleasant way,
says the Washington Sunday Star.
1t may have to begin with your
way of walking. To walk badly is to
hit at the root of style, 1t is so easy
to walk as if you were sure OF your
self, and as If. at least. you felt you
had some right to walk.
A slovenly walk and slouching
walk are usually owing to sheer lazi-
ness and carelessness.
1t is impossible to enjoy any style If
your clothes are cut badly. Better to
go to a tailor with good cut and
comparatively poor cloth than a tailor
with good cloth and bad cut. The

Japanese Crosnes

An altogether new idea. in vege-
tables has just been introduced to the
markets of this country from far
away Japan through the discovery of
the famous French chefs. The people
of France enjoy the delicate taste of
the Crosnes. du Japon, as they call
them, and consider them quite a deli
cacy. over here 1t is more than that
1t is as yet a luxury. A very short
space of time should see them culti-
waited in every home garden over here,
says an exchange.
Crosnes are the roots of q plant
called Staehys tuberifera, which has
never been known to flower, and con-
sequently has never set seed These
roots are the most curious objects,
white and deeply corrugated in seq
ments, which give them the appear
ance of larvae of some insects. In
fact, they closely resemble the larvae
of the queen bee. The habit of growth
of the roots is in long strings and
in great abundance.
These roots may be planted out in
any ordinary garden soil at the close
of March. or in early April, in rows
a foot apart. Each six inches in the
row two of the roots may be set In.
Except for the necessary wedding,
nothing further need be done for
them, as they are perfectly hardy.
They should be left in the ground and
only dug up as they are required for
use, because their color becomes
darkened when 1t is exposed to the
air,
They are used as a substitute for
new potatoes with the same delicate
flavor. For a delicious and excellent
luncheon dish few things can equal
freshly boiled crosnes served with
cream sauce or melted butter.

FRED K.
Fortunately, I filed the prophecy.
Mother Shipton was a reputed
English prophecies of the time of
Henry VIII. The statements con-
cerning her personal history are
conflicting and of slight value. 1t
is believed that she was a purely
fictitious person whose name was
made the vehicle of many supposed
prophecies.
She is first heard of through the
publication of tract, In 1641, known
as the Prophecies of Mother Ship
ton" Many pamphlets purporting
to be collections of her prophecies
appeared, most, if not all, believed
to be pure inventions. Charles
Hindley, in 1862, reprinted an earlier
so-called life of Mother Shipton, in
serting the doggerel quoted below.
Ten years later Hindley acknowl-
edged that the verses were a hoax.
The poem follows:
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with
Woe;
And in the centre of a bishops see.
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinlSling of an eye.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no ass or horse be by their side.
A great man shall come and goi
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat;
Gold shall be found, and found
In land that's not now known:
Fire and water shall more wonders
do;
England shall at last admit jew;
The Jew, that was held in scorn,
Shall of Christian be born, and
born.
A house of glass shall come to pass.
In England; but, alasl
War will follow with the work
In the land of pagan and Turk;
And State and State in fierce strife
viii seek each others life.
But when the North shall divide
the South,
And eagle shall build in the lions
mouth,
Taxes for blood and for war
viii come to every door.
Three times three shall lovely
France
BE led to play a bloody dance
Before her people shall be free,
Three tyrant rulers she shall see.
The British olive next shall twine
In marriage with the German vine.
All England's sons shall plow the
land,
Shall be seen book in hand,
Learning shall so ebb and flow,
The poor shall most wisdom know.
The world then to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty
one"

Uncle Dick and Nurse Nellie and
the children had a great time at
the inlet.
They watched the tossing, tum-
bling waves and searched the
sands for odd little shells to take
back to the city.
The children made Laddie-dog lie
very still while they covered him
up with sand, all but his head.
Then they threw a stick and cried,
60 fetch 1t, Laddiel Go fetch it."
And Laddie jumped up in such a
hurry that his sand covering flew in
every direction, much of it shower
ing on Nurse Nellie, who sat
nearby.
THAT was fun" cried Davie, who
had been rolling on the sand in
sheer delight. Lets do it again!'
But Laddie refused to be buried a
second time. He just wagged his
tail and kept his distance.
"What'll we do now?' demanded
Dorothy, sitting on the sand beside
Nurse Nellie. This Is most the
incest time we ever had at the
beach, isn't it?'
Nurse Nellie nodded.
And, like all good things, it must
come to an end" she declared,
picking up her parasol and hand
kerchief, which was full of little
pink and white shells. IT'S high
time we started back. We have a
long walk, and there is much to do
at home
Immediately Dorothy and Davie
began to look gloomy. They didn't
like at all the idea of going back
to the city.
school! ! hate it," cried Davie
digging in the sand with his hands,
while Laddie watched, convinced
that there was a rat, or at least a
mouse, in the hole. You have to
sit still, and mind the teacher, and
and learn things. Ugh" And he
wrinkled up his nose in disgust.
II don't hate school, declared
Dorothy, stretching lazily, then pill
lowing her head in Nurse Nellie's
lap. ITS nice to learn things, and
you ought to be ashamed of your
self, Davie Dear! Do you want to
grow up to be a sturid?"
81 don't care" laughed DaVie.
Don't talk about it now, Dorothy.
Look at Laddie!"
Laddie was eXcitedly digging at
the hole Davie had made. sending
the sand flying and burying his
nose in the hole, while his tail
waved in the air like a brown and
white plume.
At last, painting, he pulled his

TenderfOOt Harry

One hot, dusty day in July a stage
coach was seen drawing wearily into
Gulchville, town situated in Wyom-
ing. AS it stopped before the village
inn a young fellow stepped out and
walked into It, His name was Harry
Sandford. He was travelling for
pleasure.
On sighting Harry the cowboys set
up a shout and called him tenderfoot
and Fastener, but Harry was not
taunted by these remarks. Some fired
shots at him in order to make him
Jig. One ruflian. an individual whose
character was marked with crime,
had the audacity to fire a shot
which clipped the sole of his travelling
boots. Harry's temper arose at this
insulting act, and turning to the
rufIian, Peter, the Crook by name,
he said: "If you want to fight, then
fight fairly and squarely," and with
this remark Harry snapped his fingers
in front of the rufiian's face

To Danish Fleas

Dear Margery Doom:
My house is full of very small
bugs which I take are fleas. They
are in the carpets and everywhere.
viii you please give me some ad-
vice as TO how to get rid of them?
] will be very grateful. | cannot
imagine how they got in, as we
haven't dog or cat.
Will you also tell me how to go
about washing a good corset? I
have mine made to order, and want
them 10 last as long as possible.
Thanking you,
ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS.
To Danish fleas spray the infested
places with the following prepara-
ton: Put two ounces of oil of bay
and four ounces of ether into bot
tie. Into another bottle put four
teen ounces of alcohol and four
ounces of oil of eucalyptus.
Let these stand for two hours, shak-
ing occasionally, then strain through
a piece of cheesecloth into a large
bottle. Use this with an atomizer,
spraying the localities in the room
where the fleas are.
(2) Clean the room with carbolic
acid water, injecting it into the
cracks and ledges and sweeping the
floor or carpet with 1t, and wiping
everything with a sponge wrung
out of carbolic water.
(3) Treat the room thoroughly
with naphtha water.
Put the corset in cold water for
a few hours,
Make ready a hot solution con-
tanning a tablespoonful of borax, a
tablespoonful of ammonia and a
tablespoonful of washing soda, to
about two gallons of water.
Now take small stiff brush and
soap It well, after which dip in
coarse eornmeal.
Scrub the corset thoroughly until
all the stains are removed.
Rinse we'll in hot, then in cold
water.
Hang the corset in the sun to dry,
and 1t will be beautifully clean and
white.

Apropos of the collar subject, the

some dark contrasting tone that will

as behind the fashionable times.
Some of the new color bound collars
have the edging in black braid while
tiny bias fold of the desired color
hatiste finishes the others.
Since there are sweaters and sweat
ers, and not the least of these the
human species (although it may be a
bit inelegant to mention it. it seems
not amiss to treat for a paragraph or
two of the very newest dress shields.
Owing to the transparent mode of
dressing, ii was up to some one to
invent a less visible form of this un-
slightly summer necessity.
The ever ingenious French have
obliged with a close fitting shield of
flesh tinted silk covered rubber guar
anteed to escape the closest observa-
ton, even under the single thickness,
or thnness, of chiffon. which is now
by courtesy and custom dubbed a

Ihe DaguerreotYpe
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Margery Doom:
Please tell me something about
the first pictures that were ever
taken, and oblige, L. NJ.
The inventor of the process of
photography was Louis Daguerre,
born at gCarmeilles, France, in 1889.
He was first employed painting
scenes for the theatre and while
thus at work he discovered the
method of representing night and
day by the Illuminating of trans
parent canvas painted ON both sides.
This was In 1892, but as early as
1914 Nicephore Nlepee had made
some experiments of photography
on metal,
In 1926 he and Daguerre became
partners. but in a few years the
former died, ieaving Daguerre to
develop the remarkable art.
The French government gave the
medal of the Legion of Honor to the
inventor of the daguerreotype.

Blisters on Her Heels

Dear Miss Doom:
Please tell me what to do. My
new pumps make blisters on my
heels all the time. Thanking you,

Low shoes, when new, often blister
the heels by slipping just a little
as the wearer walks. To prevent
this 1t is well to rub the inside of
the shoe at the heel with soap be-
fore putting it on.

The Crook turned purple with
rage and roared: Yer little puppy;
I'll wiring yer neck fer dat" and with
his last words he swung at Harry
with all his strength. Harry avoided
the blow with the skill of a profess
sional boxer. and turning about he
dealt the ruliian a blow which sent
him unconscious to the ground.
tIarry's bravery and cleverness Won
for him the admiration of all the cow
boys except one, and that was Peter
the Crook"
