made these things herself" And then,
I'm afraid they're living beyond their
means"
1t was all Johnnys doing that this IA
tai impression was dispelled and the
seeds of a friendship destined to be a
lasting one were sown. Into the draw
ing-room he dashed, his clean Russian
blouse smeared with jam. his eyes spark
ling with anticipation. His mother
frowned. but he said plediangly:
"oh mamma. you forgot me. an I
want my little cake"
Not now, Johnny" she began.
But mamma" cried the little boy. his
eyes big with reproach. You said I
could have one, Don't you member
When you wouldn't let me scrape the
bowl"
1t was out. and for a moment the fool

know where to look But the guest
caught up to Johnny and kissed him be-
fore he departed again with the prom
ised cake.
Then she rose to go.
My dear said she. putting both
hands on the mothers shoulders as she
spoke. II always knew that Mr.. Sayles
had a charming wife. and now 1 know
that he has a clever one" She paused
and added gently. You won't be Offend
ed IL a woman so much older gives you
a bit of advice?"
Edith. her little mask of hypocrisy
fallen. shook her head humbly.
Your gifts are the ones my dear
mother taught me. You should be proud,
not ashamed OF them"
Edtth's eyes grew suddenly misty, bu:
she looked bravely back into the kind
ones before her.
Thank you," she whispered.

As The Girl sat with The Man OF
the moon kissed lawn listening to th'
low melody of the wind stirred wheat il
| the field beyond, and the plaintive call O.
the Whip-poor-will from the edge o
the woods, mingled with the tendcl
words which fell from the lips of hei
companion-adding the sweetest note q
. all to the night symphony.-she VIZ
perfectly sure in her heart that he wa!
not only The Man but The Perfect Mar
as we'll.
Nor was il all the trick of the fan
tastic moonlight and the song OF sum
mer, for The Mans touch thrilled hei
no less at MONDAY when she wa.
equally as sure that he was without Z
f1aw,-her ideal of strong, protective
manhood, and she wondered within hei
heart why Goo, had singled her out fol
the blessing Of his love, for she wa:
just laying hold of her womanhood ant
had not acquired knowledge sufficient tc
ence.
'You are so big and splendid that
sometimes ! am afraid that am jus,
dreaming of your love for me, and tha,
Il shall awaken in the. morning." The
Girl conhded to The Man, with a soft
happy COO in her tone which quite con-
tradicted her words.
You idealize me too much" he as
sured her, Il have my faults like every
other man. II is no dream that love
yorI, but | am afraid that you will find
that l do not reach your high standard
as the years go by"
Whereupon The Girl lifted her flower
like face to be kissed, and declared that
she would not listen to such talk.
Told Her the Truth.
1t was after the honeymoon was al
an end, and The Man said that he had
wasted deal too much time from his
business, and that they must now settle
down to everyday life in their work-a-
day world that The Girl remembered
what he had told her about his faults.
And it was something of a jolt to her
belief that he was the One Perfect Man
to discover that what he had said in the
matter was perfectly true
She found out in the first place thai
he had villainous temper, which he
did not keep at all times in subj bjection.
1t made The Girl very unhappy. How
was it possible that The Man could
have been all along in possession of
such a fault without her knowing. she
asked herself, and finding no answer to
her question she put it frankly to The
Man.
"Courtship is not conducive of the
discovery of faults" he told her. "We
saw each other only at our best. IL
takes just the plain, everyday living to-
gether for folk to find each other out"
Whereupon The Girl inferred that
The Man was also disappointed, and so
they quarreled long and bitterly, and
when The Man came home that night
he made no effort to conceal the fact
that he had been drinking. When The
Girl protested he said that an occasional
spree" was another one of his faults,
and one which he would retain the priv
ilege of enjoying whenever he got so
good and ready.
The next day he was mighty sorry
for what he had done, and asked The
Girls forgiveness, and in the months
that followed he was so tender and so
good to her that she almost forgot his
fall from grace, and something of her
honeymoon happiness had come back to

TRIG SUMMER WEAR

Dainty Little Frocks of Batiste and
Wolfe, with Fichu
Effects.

For the batiste and yoile dresses
which we are evidently to enjoy TO the
full this summer, there is no more en-
chanting style than a fiat-pleated skirt,
mounted at the back on to a long, slight
ly freely cut bodice. the fronts of the
corsage being arranged with shaped
fichu ends that, after crossing, are pass
ed around and tied al the back, either
high or low, as best becomes the wearer.
A powder-blue batiste arranged after
this manner was charming.
So was rose and white stripe.
Over this a short straight tunic was
arranged, with the stripes running hori-
zontally, the hem just covering the top
OF the -pIeated skirt, and the back ar
ranged in fishwife draperies. The lower
half of the corsage was likewise pleated
and mounted on yoke. narrow sash

seams and tieing at the back as de-
scribed above.
A number of variants after this style
are being seen. Stylish they are,
but in one and all the long back

STIR MILK BEFORE USING.

Always. stir up the milk In jar or
pitcher IL you wish to give fair per-
centage Of cream to individual drinkers.
Recent investigations by the United
States Department of Agriculture proved
that in many cases where retail dealers
are held up for selling SKINNED milk 1t
Is because they have ignorantly poured
on the top milk to one customer, leaving
SKINNED for some one else.
The Department of Agriculture reconl
mends that milk be retailed In bottles,
Whenever It is necessary to sell bulf
milk, vendors are advised to mix thei5
milk thoroughly each time before pourf
ing from a large container into small
one. IL they wish to avoid unintentionai
sximming. This can best be done BY
stirring the milk with a long handled
dipper. Shaking the can is not sufficient

ODDS AND ENDS.

Place a few drops of olive oil in soft,
tepid water, make lather from any
kind of good, toilet soap and wash
chamois gloves in this. Rinse in water
with little more oil being careful to
have the water tepid. This makes
chamois soft and pliable and keeps
gloves looking fresh and new.
: The bright light necessary in room
IN summer is conducive to mosquitoes.
To kill these pests on a high ceiling
take the handle of a broom and nail
on the top tin box lid. Fill quarter
full of kerosene Whenever a mosquito
is perched on the wall raise this ma
chine. and at the first whin he drops
dead from the wall.
Where the sash Of the upper and

brace and bit deep enough to go COM

window and half way through the sash
OF the upper window. Insert heavy
nail or email spike of the same length

SOME ATTRACTIVE GIFTS
FOR THE SUMMER BRIDE

Presents. expensive and inexpensive;
presents that are useful and ornamental:
presents for the house. and presents that
are for the brides personal use. is the
subject the friends and relatives are dis
cussing. weighing and considering.
The bride who intends to keep house
is the easiest one to select presents for.
for she is keenly interested in everything
from the kitchen to the garret.
The gifts Of silver for the table are
many and varied. OF course. there are
the chests of silver, but il is the simpler
things with which we are concerned.
There are the usual bonbon. cheese.
lemon. sardine. pickle and butter dishes
that are attractively cased in silk boxes
and accompanied with the appropriate
fork in silver. The rims of these glass
dishes are usually of pierced silver. They
range in price from 81 to $l7. There are
sterling silver mayonnaise bowls with
ladies' boxed in a silk-covered case that
are priced from $40 to SIS.
Then there are sherbert glasses that
are plain and inexpensive. and those OF
silver deposit on glass that make very
acceptable gifts. BY the dozen they
range from SIS to se4. while at SIS they
are accompanied by saucers to match.
Salt sets of silver lined with gold with
silver spoons IN cases conle at so.OO up W
$3.50
There are marmalade jars. claret pitch
ers. sandwich trays, ice tubs and boudoir
sets that are attractive. acceptable and
very reasonable at prices ranging from
s. to so.
The most useful dish in silver Is the
double vegetable dish. They come from
Ss5 to $50. ..
Then there are planks that fit in silver
rims with handles. but a set Of individual
planks would be quite as acceptable and
certainly as useful as a set of ramekins.
both large and small. the small ones for
individual use.
Sets of doilies, luncheon cloths, very
handsome table cloth with napkins to
match. handsome covers for serving
table, tray. buffet and covers for the
bedroom tables. bureaus and dressing
tables are certainly most acceptable,
whether embroidered by the donor or
purchased at a moderate or exorbitant
price. The MADEIRA ones wear SO won
derfully and are SO attractive and one
cannot have too many of these dainty
and attractive sets.
There are toilet sets in silver and the
more popular ones Of ivory. both the
Partisan ivory and the real

of them, gas. oil and electric lamps for
the living room. boudoir. hall and draw
ing-room, from the student lamp to that

latter.
The subject of rugs Is, OF course. more
limited, being confined mostly to Orien-
tai ones: any and all of these are ac-
ceptable. Watch the sales of these and
YOU will be surprised to find how rea-
sonable they are. They can be put to
so many uses that even the very small

be used for table runners, over the

A PLEATED CAMISOLE.

Pretty camisoles to wear under sheer
dresses can be made from accordion
pleated chiffon. II the pleating Is bought
in the form OF pleated ruffiing and at
tached to band, this band may be
used for the waistband, and a ribbon
can be tackled about the top to hold the
pleats in place for the upper part. In
the case of the ruffiing the waistband
should be a triie large, so as to give
more width at the top (which will natur-
ally require more than the waist measure
ment does). and the pleats for this upper
part will have to be slightly spread to
increase the width still more. Across the
front of these pleats can be trailed little
chiffon vines of rosebuds and pretty
green leaves. Ribbon straps are used for
the shoulders; sometimes plain strips and
sometimes little bow upon the top of
the shoulder.

Wastefulness and Ignorance
Causes of Domestic Woe

When talking to an audience of agri-
culturists once, the railroad magnate
said:
While 1 am talking to the farmer.
remember that the farmers wife is
one-half Of the family, and she is the
bigger half. too. The farmers success
or failure depends upon her.
"A helpful, thrifty wife, who is con-
serving her husbands capital. his health.
his earnings, his ability. not to mention
the pocketbook: closing the avenues of
waste, will make him succeed.
He can't help succeeding. while with
wasteful. careless wife, he might as
well give up.
These are facts. Make the test"

subject. it seems. for everything for the
house is reproduced in wicker. from the
trays to furniture, both for indoors and
the ubiquitous sleeping porch. When pur-
chasing these get the willow, as II out

hollow chairs and fireside chairs are al
ways most acceptable.
Above all things. consider the circum-
stances OF the bride; find out If possible
what she is in need Of and give a small
present. if large one is out of the
question. but get the very best of its
kind.

WHITE STOCKINGS STYLISH.

The white silk embroidered stocking.
like its rival in black, may be worn with
any dress. II plain effects are used the
stocking must be OF fine quality. as the
semi-transparent effects are considered
poor limitations of the genuine article
and find less favor among refined women
than good quality of silk Isle.
The most fashionable coIors for silk
hosiery are tango, cadet blue Roman
pink, Alsatian- thrush. bronze, brown
and green. So important is it that the
stockings match the frock that when
unusual shades are selected for a dress
white silk hosiery is bought and then
dyed in precisely the sam hue as the
