Small Boy Had His Own Opinion az to
Nerve Of Men Who Refused Il
to Women.

The small boys mother and aunt
had just come in from the primaries.
Remember, Nanny" said his aunt,
that when you were seven years old
you saw your mother come in from vot-
ing for the first time"
He followed her into her room.
why didn't you vote before?" he
demanded.
Men wouldn't let women vote until
now. OF course, good men like your
papa want all the business in the world
managed right. They are going to let
women help at last"
The small boy gave her little
push.
Women aren't all there are" he
said, and marched haughtily out of the
room.
He went to his father that evening.

Didn't women use 10 voter"

SLIPS FOR FURNITURE
ARE NOW MADE WITH AN EYE
TO ARTISTIC EFFECT.
In This They Differ From Those In
General Use In the PaSt-oeneral
Directions for Making Them
Successfully.

Do you remember the slips that
mother used 10 make? Brown they
we're. with little narrow red stripes
and sometimes alternating twills!
How ugly they were! And with every
years doingsp they got uglier-with
their yoke all ironed out Of shape
and their founces askew and their but
tons gaping In the back!
They we're the kind mother used 10
make, writes Ethel Davis Seal In the
Washington Star She is making a
different kind now, and WITH such
great success that she has passed the
secret on to me!
First Of all. they virtually are made
on the furniture. A piece of the mate
rial is pinned on the part of the chair

after It is carefully fitted. It is cut the

seams. In this way one should care

various pieces together as one gets

in order to insure a perfect ft. Some
times It is found easier to do all the
basting before any part is removed;
for others, working with a preliminary
paper pattern may seem easier.
1t is especially necessary TO have
looseness in a slip cover; there must
be plenty Of give" to It. Otherwise,
when one sits on it, It is apt to burst
open, which would be most discon-
certing, particularly II It happened TO
be some one else's chair.
The strip which runs from the ex-
treme top Of the chair back down to
the seat. across the seat and on down
to the required length, should be cut
lengthwise Of the goods without piec-
ing Before cutting, It should be
tucked well into the crease between
the seat and the back The narrow
fronts of the arms are cut separately.
The arms inner side is cut length
wise, and extends over the roll, under
which another seam occurs. The out
side of the arm is cut in one with
the side Of the seat. The back side of
the chair back is cut in two length
wise pieces, with the opening up the
middle. The backs thickness" will
also need a small piece, extending to
the arm.

NOT A SHIRT WAIST
There Is Much Distinction Between
the Two, Though It Seems to Be
Seldom Recognized.

Have you noticed that we rarely
speak or read of shirt waist? In
illustrated advertisements Of ready
made clothing we see pictured some
imple, washable waists, but we learn
that they are "blouses." There is a
real distinction. though, besides the
name The blouse may have all the
engaging plainness of the shirt waist,
vet there is a difference, unobtrusive,
'hough decided. For one thing, the
shirt waist was always starched, while
the blouse is quite guiltless OF any
stiffening whatever, unless it be lit

contractor simply forces his ideas

most of them resent his interference,
although it saves them little trouble
at the time.
A dozen men will look over book

different arrangements Of rooms, and
after picking out their favorites half
of those men will suggest little
changes to fit their individual tastes;
then when their wives are finally con-

asked Sally Carver, who is twenty,

Now she was on the piazza, enjoy

with some footwear.
Summer is here and l am getting

are all mended and now 1 am fixing
up a stunt to make the ornamental

are in the way when polishing the
tan low shoes or whitening these
canvas pumps.
See? l am sewing two little snap
fasteners on the back of each bow
And sockets to match on each pair Of
shoes.
Then tan low shoes are a little
loose at the heel and the rubbing
quickly wears holes in the heels Of the
stockings. I am not crazy about darn
ing and a mended heel is so conspicu-
ousl So I have cut these narrow
strips of felt, each about two inches
long. l shall glue a strip inside the
back of each shoe. The shoes will
fit more snugly and cease rubbing.
Velvet could be used Just as well. -

SYNOPSIS.

Eleanora de Toscana was singing IN
Paris, which, perhaps, accounted for Ed
ward CourtlandTs appearance there. Mul-
timilliOnaire. he wandered about where
fancy dictated. He might be In Paris ono
day and kamchatkG the next. Following
the opera he goes 10 a cafe and Is az
costed by a pretty young woman. She
gave him the address Of Flora DesimOue
vocal rival Of ToscAna, and Flora gives
him the address Of Eleanora, whom he Is
determined 10 see Courtlandt enters
Eleanora's apartments. She orders him
out and shoots at him. The next day
Paris Is shocked By the mysterious dis
appearance OF the pIfma donna. Realizing
that he may bH sujpected of the abduc-
ton Of EleanoTb Courtlandt arranges for
an allbi Eleangra reappears and accuses
Courtlandt Of saviug abducted her HIS

is followed by a number OF her admirers,
among them the prince who really pro-
cured her abduction. COurtlandt also goes
20 Como and there meets Jimmie Harri-
gan, retired prizehghter and father of FL
eanora, whose real name Is Nora Hafri-

slightest change in color or expression.
She did not see him!" thought the
musician, curiously stirred. She knew
her friend tolerably well. 1t would
have been impossible for her to have
seen that man and not to have given
evidence of the fact
Mrs. Harrigan took the omnibus up
to the villa. 1t was generally too
much of a climb for her Nora and
Celeste preferred to walk.

him. In heavens name. why can't

Yes"

And have a fisticuff which would
appear in every newspaper in the
world? No, thank you There is
enough scandalous stuff being printed
as it is, and am helpless to prevent
it,"
AS the climb starts off stif1y, there
wasn't much inclination in either to
talk. Celeste had come to one de-
cision, and that was that Nora should
find out Courtlandt's presence here in
Bellaggio herself. When they arrived
at the villa gates, Celeste offered
suggestion
You could easily stop all this rumor
and annoyance"
And, pray, how?"

SEEK COMFORT IN BLoUSES
Women This Season Refuse to Wear
Anything Heavy During the
Heated Season.

BlOuses Of flesh color net or chiffon
are worn as the season advances.
Plain Innings of flesh color are worn
under colored or lace blouses.
Biouses become more and more
ethereal as summer approaches, and,
while many vivid hues are noted, the
fabrics are more and more cobwebby;
two or three Of this sheer material
must be worn, one over the other,
or the camisole beneath must have
some substance for decency's sake,
but, even so, these lingerie ccmbina-
tions are delightfully."- cool and COM
Portable.
The rejuvenated blouse reintroduced
this season Is finished with an elastic
band around the waist line, which has
the advantage of distributing the full
ness properly and taking away the
tall of the blouse, which would be
too bulky to suit present require

had left her room that night In Paris,
yowing that he would never intrude

he had been convinced that the play

that It had been accidental, but never
would he forget the look in her eyes.

And a moment later she came out,
followed by her mother 80. and the
little lady Of the Taverne Royale. Did
Nora see him? 1t was impossible to
tell. She simply stopped and gathered
up the puppy, who struggled deter
minedly to lick her face. Courtlandt
lifted his hat. 1t was in nowise Of

merely the mechanical courtesy that
man generally pays to any woman
in whose path he chances to be for the

in immaculate white, hatless, but with
sunshades, passed on down the street.

Harrigan.

Why Elderly Doctor Was wroth.

See the two doctors! Why is the
old doctor charging the young doctor
with unethical conduct and embezzle-
ment, denouncing him for brainless
BOBBY and thirty-third degree idiot,
and otherwise lingually lambasting
him? Why, the old doctor went on a
vacation and left his practise in the
charge of the young doctor, and when
the former returned the latter proudly
boasted that he had cured every one
of his patients who were afflicted with
chronic ailments. Was that not

rienced Esculapian into a frothing
