Afternoon Siesta
a Boon to Tired Nerves

An aid to the hot weather siesta is
the rather small thin hair pillow to
use as a substitute for the feather
cushion. The head should never be
too high that is, for the normal and
healthy woman. To stretch out fiat
upon the back is found by many to be
soothing and restful. Many like to
lie upon the floor in summer, finding
there some little draught and play of
air. These are the exceptions rather
than the rule. however. The linen
cover beneath will give more GOODNESS
than plush or tapestry, and nearly
all will rest more comfortably upon
the right side rather than the left,
says the Philadelphia Press.
Darkness or partial darkness is
also grateful in summer and on very
hot days, when the house has been
well aired in the early morning, to
close the windows Is found more con-
duetive to GOODNESS than to open
them, for in torrid weather the air
outside is much warmer than that
inside and, therefore, to shut 1t out
and keep it out is wisdom. even
when a slight breeze would seem to
argue GOODNESS. Such a breeze has
little about it that is refreshing.
Have we not all experienced that
sort of weather when an active wind
is blowing, yet drying and exhausting
everything that it touches? To sit or
lie indoors, closed away from sun
light and hot wind is indeed the part
of wisdom.
A very hard working woman of my
acquaintance never fails TO get at
least a fifteen minute nap every day
In hot weather. and to this she at
tributed her sound nerves. unfaiing
strength and good digestion. when
many around her are not so blessed;
and this, Notwithstanding that the
demands upon her throughout the
day are incessant and troublesome.
The homekeeper or any woman not
employed in public, who does not
avail herself of the daily hot weather
siesta is really allowing herself to
be robbed of a great aid to health
and beauty.
Children should be undressed and
encouraged to rest or play at quiet
games during the hot part of the
afternoon. One mother has taught
her little girl quite little conversa-
tional French during the afternoon
siesta. when they lie down in cool
spot for a couple of hours. Such a
quiet time, followed by a lukewarm
bath and fresh clothing for late after
noon, help to keep a child in good
condition during extreme weather.

Most of us live commonplace lives,
full of dull, monotonous duties which
we too often despise, and we cannot
but feel little envious at times OF
some other women whose lives seem
to be always on the mountain tops
while we spend our days In the val
leys.
But l like to believe that some day,
when all life's lessons have been
learned. we shall see with surprise
that the obscure and unnoticed wom-
an who has brought UP her children
in the love of God has accomplished
much more than many another wom-
an who has lived her days in blaze
o. glory. !.
When we find our lives most dull
and our tasks most irksome we do
not know how our life may be influ-
encing other lives, and how that in

william and Bruiser

William is small hoy and Bruiser
is large dog. They are great
friends. William gets on Bruiser's
back and treats him as if he was a
horse, but Brufser takes this as a
joke. He likes to have William treat
him in this way; but It would not be
safe for anyone else to do 1t.
Bruiser is a grand watch dog. One
day the old dog gave al fierce growl to
keep off a butterfly.
He thought the butterfly was going
to attack William. William had a
good laugh at this, for lsmall as he Is
he thinks he is a match, for butter

Dainty Footgear Is Necessary

Narrow skirts may have their dis
advantages, but at least they are
y aking women realize the impera-
tive necessity for paying more atten-
ton to their shoes-that is. if they
wish to create the impression of be-
ing devoted followers of fashion. says
an exchange. Present styles do not
at all conceal the fact that women
have feet, and as the trend of modern
dress is to demand more and more
individuality, it is only natural that
the shoe manufacturers should att
tempt to make their footgear more
original and in closer conformity to
the ideas of costume creators.
Women are at present favoring
shoes susceptible of ornamentation
with various designs of buckles-such
as pumps, sandals and strap styles
that display much hosiery. This is
leading dealers to offer anything with
an open effect that is light, dainty
and ornate.
Shoes really become foot gloves"

Strawberry and Ice-Cream on
Blue Crepe Meteor

Dear Miss Doom:
= Will you kindly tell me through
your valuable column how can
remove a strawberry and ice-cream
stain from blue crepe meteor
dress and win the thanks Of
ALICE M?
First, place clean blotter under
meath the spot then spongle quick
ly with chforoform. using a soft
cloth for the purpose. The chloro-
form will lbosen all grease and the
blotter will absorb it. If a pink
stain remains, caused by the straw
berry juice. spread the spotted por-
ton over a bowl and pour boiling
water on It from kettle held high
enough to permit the stream TO
strike with force. Then dry quick
ly with blotting paper. If a ring
remains sponge its edges when dry
with chloroform.
If the spot is big one, and the
dress is very valuable, would adj
wise YOU to take it to cleaner.

Early the next morning Doro-
thy's eyes popped wide open
with a suddenness that astonish-
ed her, for usually waking up was
a lengthy process of yawns,
stretches, curling up to go to sleep
again, followed by more yawns and
more stretches until at last the blue
eyes opened to stay.
Il was sound asleep a minute ago,
and now I'm ever so wide awake,
said Dorothy to herself, as she
pushed back her hair and sat up,
II wonder what-why-ee This Is
the day we go to Ideal must
have been dreaming about it.
Joyfully she slid out of bed and
made a hasty toilet. In blue-how-
cred kimono and soft, blue slippers
she tiptoed to Mother Bears room.
1t was empty Then she hurried
across the hall to the nursery,
where slept Davie and Baby Bus
ter.
Davie was sound asleep. his cheek
plllowed on one chubby arm. Dor
othy gently pulled his hair and he
smiled in his sleep.
Then she turned to Baby Busters
crib.
Baby Buster was not asleep, but
he was very busy
He was tearing his new picture
book, the one with the big animal
pictures in all colors, to pieces.
"Oh. you naughty, naughty boyl"
Dorothy frowned. Just see your
nice new book"
Baby Buster smiled cheerfully
l. - i -
tored up. Sail ! tear some more?
| tan tear it,"
II was quite evident that Buster
thought being able TO tear books
was an accomplishment, for he re-
turned to his destructive task with
such q satisfied smile that Dorothy
didn't have. the heart to tell him
that 1t was very wrong.
Instead she cried:
You're sweetness, Buster
Dear. Div your sister nice tiss,
and a huge"
Baby Buster held out his fat
arms and smiled. He was always
willing to love everybody, and con-
sdered the whole world his friend.
Did / ever tell you how baby
Buster looked, children?
Well, he had golden hair that
curled in a thousand shiny ring
let's when the air was damp, and
hung very straight; 1t was bob-cut
when the air was dry; he had
blue eyes that weren't little and
weren't big, but held a hundred
dancing mischief lights; a rather
wide mouth just meant for kisses,
which opened to show two rows of
cleaning white teeth; cheeks that
were hard and soft all at once,
with round little chin to match.
And in his plump white neck were
a hundred little kissing places.
Moreover, his arms We're plump
and his hands were full of dimples,
and his legs were so straight and
fat and sturdy that just looking
at them made you want to laugh,
and then to run and catch their
owner in a big bear hug.
And that was Buster
So now you know why the whole
world was his friend.
Buster bore Dorothys caresses
with smiling patience. Then he
gave her little push.
Now do way. l want to tore
de book some more" he announced,
picking UP a half-page. "See de
poor tow, all tored up"
fully, the poor COW is all torn up,
and you did it your own self, Bus
ter Dear"
At which Buster smiled, think
ing, perhaps, that she was praising
him.
Dorothy gave him one more hug.

Initials for Towels


Large Initials filled in with French
knots are particularly suited to Turk
ish toweling, and since the work is
nos difficult and the effect excellent.
a set of towels worked in this way
makes very acceptable gift for a
man.
The maiden who takes advantage of
the summer holiday for making next
years Christmas gifts. is planning to
work Turkish towels for her intimate
friends, says an exchange.
The initials should be laid above
the border of the towel itself unless
the border is wide enough to accom-
mediate them.
Try to get colored stripes in the bor-
der and make the initials correspond
in color.
A set of small Turkish towels,
worked with initials of suitable size.
makes an unusual and very accept
able gift for a new baby.

Then she tlptoed over to Davie and
ticlled him under the chin. Davie
shook his head frowning, Dorothy
ticlSled him again. He brushed his
chin, dreaming, maybe, that a fly
was annoying him. Dorothy gig
gled and he opened his eyes.
GO way" muttered Davie.
sleepily
"Davie Dear, you don't know
what this day isl"
Davie mumbled something and
fell asleep in the middle of It, Dor
othy gave him a poke.
Don't you know we're going to
the shore this very day? You'd
better get up this very minute,
Davie Dear. Mothers been up for
hours and hours, l guess Maybe
it's nearly train-time right now
Now 1t was Davies eyes that
popped right open.
get out o. my way" he cried
with boyish rudeness. Il want to
get up. I'm going to the seashore,
/ am, to stay all summer, so what
do you think of thnt?'
Davie had an aggravating way of
announcing thing that everybody
knew, as If 1t was a brand-new sub
ject.
Dorothy looked at him scornfully.
I'm sorry came in to wake you
up she declared, land you needn't
think I'm going to again, ever, to
the longest day l live
And, tueking her long kimono un-
der one arm, Dorothp stalked from
the room with0ll the dignity that
nine years could possibly attain.

FROCKS

Plain and Powered taffetas are
much used for dance frocks: ON the
plain dresses artificial flowers are
used for trimming, catching up the
panniers, tackled to the shoulder and
at the throat. 1t is a pleasing and
becoming idea. The popularity of
taffetas for these frocks does not say
that chiffon, silk voile and the other
sheer fabrics have lost favor at all;
they are quite as much in evidence as
ever.
A charming dance gown is illus
