Continued from Saturday,
Mother Dear sat on the front
porch reading letters.
Dorothy was on the third step,
busily embroidering a bib for baby
Buster. 1t was a pretty bib with a
pattern of gay little Dutch Riddles
running along the bottom, and Dor
othy was outlining the hddies in
red and blue and yellow.
AS she worked she wondered what
little Holland children were like: if
they ran and played like little
Americans, and If they loved to
read fairy stories.
Il should think their clumsy
wooden shoes'd always be in their
way" said Dorothy to mother Dear,
holding up the bib for inspection,
land those heavy skirts and bloom
ers! However do they play,
mother?"
Your stitches are a bit too long,
said mother Dear. holding her head
on one side; you must use more
patience. / guess they manage TO
play all right. Perhaps they ar
range their games to suit their
clothes"
"P'raps," agreed Dorothy, absent
ly, taking the bib and beginning to
work on a little Dutch girls arm.
when this one is done I'm going to
make an apron for you, mother;
lovely white one with daisies. Nell
lie is going to show me the stitch.
Won't that be nice?"
Splendid" mother Dear told her
as she opened another letter This
is from Mrs. Brown, daughter. She
says that she'll come week after
next and bring Mary Elizabeth and
Billy"
Dorothy promptly became so ex-
cited that she tangled her red
thread, quite spelling the little
Dutch girls arm.
Now, see what I've DONE" she
mourned, drawing her eyebrows
close together. Then, her face light
ing up, she cried, "Goody, goody!
I'm glad they can come, aren't
your"
Mother Dear watched her daugh-
ter in amusement.
"How your mind does twist and
turn about" said she. "One min
ute you are all tears and the next
you are all smiles. Let me
straighten that tangle." And she
took the bib from Dorothy's hands.
Dorothy watched in admiration.
IT could untangle it if l could
only keep from getting mad. First
thing l know l give the thread a
jerk and then 1t gets too tight.

to do better this time, though"
And Dorothy sighed at the thought

About Stenciling

fad. and am crazy about it. but am
very much Of an amateur. Can you
tell me how tie eolors are made

able articles, and, of course, I do
not want the eolors to run. Any
information you can give will be
greatly appreciated by

way to do this is to place a vel

in stenciling take the precaution OF
slipping blOtting paper under the
part of the fabric which is being
worked upon. This is a specially
good plan when the fabric is thin

will also do away with the danger

The Summer Headache

We perspire.
We dress lightly.
We sit in draughts.
This makes for neuralgia.
For this do the head up in fan
mel.
Other headaches are due to a sparse
diet.
Light eaters eat much less in hot
weather.
They should make up by slipping
slowly plenty of milk.
Eye strain is another cause. The
brighter light and errors of refraction
by rail or trolley also give trouble,
and should be attended to by the
oculist.
Rest, hot applications. proper food
eaten slowly at regular intervals, will,
as a rule, relieve the headache.

First Air Cruise of the
Belmont
By HOWARD FALK.

That's a swell one. Finel Mag
nificenti" Such calculations escaped
the mass of Mr.. Belmont's friends
as the aeroplane Belmont No. slowly
issued from its hangar with the grace
of some huge bird, to settle on
grassy sward of Long Island. 1t was
no wonder that CALCULATIONS of ad-
miration were expressed. In appear
ance the airship was strongly built,
but of light materials. 1t was paint
ed brown with different colors for
different guiding levers, to make 1t
easier to run. 1t had bicycle wheels
to make a descent easy. 1t had
strong, durable planes and easy. COM

Springfield reporter. The ship on it's
maiden voyage was destined to ex-
citing adventures. This was not
strange. because Carwell even said,
when I hear of a Belmont ship of
any kind | scent excitement"
On her maiden voyage the Belmont
was to patrol the Texan border to
help United States troops to keep the
''grea sers" in Mexico, because of the
exciting times there. The ship had
room for a fair lot of provisions. But
to continue:
George Belmont slowly swung him
self into the drivers seat, followed
by the other two. Ne started it and
four men on the ground pushed.
Slowly. but faster each minute, the
Belmont sped until Mr.. Belmont
called, Let 60" Then with the
grace of any bird 1t slowly but
surely rose until 1t was a mere speck
in the sky, sailing southward-ever
onward-about $3.50 feet above the
earth.
Belmont did not feel nervous, but
the contrary. as the result of many
practices, while Carwell and Carter,
when seeing the earth seemingly
slipping away. clutched their seats
as in a death grip. Mr.. Belmont
smiled. He remembered his first voy-
age. Gradually his passengers be-

A Letter from Shore Reader"

Dear Miss Doom:
Being a steady reader of your COL
umn, ] want to help you too. I have
noticed from time to time that
many girls want to remove the coat
OF tan from their neck and arms
and I think that the remedy 1 use
is very good.
This neck bleach will be of relief
to every girl whose throat is tanned
and diseolored. Strained honey, one
ounce; lemon-juice, one teaspoon
full; oil of bitter almonds, six drops;
whites of two eggs and enough oat-
meal to make a paste. After the
throat has been thoroughly washed
and rinsed. dry and apply the
bleach. The bleach Is a poison be-
cause of the oil of bitter almonds
and should be kept out OF the reach
Of children. The bleach should be
placed on a cloth and worn on the
throat all night. In the morning re-
move 1t and rinse the throat in a
strong solution of lemon water. Use

White Collars Persist

The white collar is SO persistent
that it cannot be avoided. When the
first dainty, starched collars of swiss
or organdie appeared last winter no
one could have predicted how great
their popularity would be. They have
been devised in many different styles
and evolved in many different mate
rails, until now no one can count
their number. One of the newer
touches is the starched collar of
nioue worn with street suits inside
the coat collar. These are very smart.
Tbey are of the style called Nor
mandy. as a rule.

Dancing Frock Hints

Black lace over white in dancing
frocks is considered very smart, even
for young girls, especially so when
the bodice of lightweight material Is
in one of the new soft colors, says
the Dry Goods Economist.
Quite the newest effects In dancing
frocks are the dainty models which
show a succession of narrow ruffles
from the hem to the waistline.
The ruffles are made quite full and
are supplemented with a semi-ftted
bodice. This gives a quaint effect not
unlike many old-fashioned prints of
the 1880 styles.
