think Of" she whispered to mother
Dear. "all on those shelves. l wish
I could look in every box. It's much
nicer than the big stores; they have
to have separate counters for
everything, and you walk and walk
and have to ask those dressed-up
men where to find things" And
Dorothy tilted her nose at city
stores with an air that made mother
Dear laugh.
"Those dressed-up men are called
fioorwalkers, she told Dorothy
and they are glad to tell you where
to go, because they are supposed
Dorothy thought this over.
IT should think having to be po-
lite would just make them not want
to-" she declared, after moment,
ut always does me-"
Mother Dear couldn't help laugh
ing at this, and just then the store

her. came forward.
While mother Dear made her pur7
chase Dorothy amused herself by
looking in the one case that the
store contained. To her eyes 1t was
a treasure house. There We're lace
collar and cuff sets, spools or
eo1ored silk, pieces of baby RIBBON
wound on cards, black and tan
stockings, pin cushions, cards of
gold-plated baby pins, combs, Wire
hairpins, shell hairpins, baby
dresses, baby shoes, safety-pins,
crochet needles, buttons. breastpins,
garter elastic and bottles OF ink,
all mixed in. together with a hun
dred other articles.
Dorothy thought that above all
other things she'd like to own just
that case.
Everything In the whole worlds
In It," she said, and found 1t hard
to tear herself away when mother
Dear touched her on the shoulder
and said, ''Stop dreaming; it's time
to CO."
When Dorothy and mother Dear
reached the sidewalk they found a
surprise. 1t was nurse Nellie,
wheeling baby Buster in his little
two wheeled cart, with Davy tag
ging on behind.
"This is nice" said mother Dear.
Now Well all go home together"

Davie in one voice; '1ets all take a

Dorothy Dear and her mother
walked down the steps and turned
toward the village. In one hano
Dorothy carefully held little white
letter. 1t was an invitation to Mary
Elizabeth Brown to come and visit.
Mary Elizabeth's mother and her
brother Billy was invited, too, so
YOU may see that 1t was q very
Important letter. Dorothy had writ
ten 1t herself.
won't Mary 'Liz'beth be glad ?"
Dorothy gave little skip at the
thought. "When'll she get it.,
mother%
Some time tomorrow. or early
the next morning" said mother
Dear IT wonder when they'll de-
eide to Gomez" And you could tell
by the expression on her face that
she was thinking of spare beds and
guest towels and the like. Mothers
have a way of looking like that, as
soon as company Is mentioned.
81 hope they'll come soon-ee,
soon-ee, soon-ee," chanted Dorothy.
Her hat slipped from her head and
hung from her neck by its elastic.
1t always did when she skipped
about Now she gave it an impa-
tient jerk.
Well, the 'lastic's too loose" ex-
planned Dorothy, turning red as she
caught mother Dear's frown OF re-
proof IF ld-just-knot-it--
it'd--be-there, I did Now 1t won't
slip any more" And she jerked her
head back and forth three times to
prove her statement.
When they reached the postofflce
Dorothy dropped the note In the
brass slit marked LETTERS"
Then she squinted her eyes and
peeped in.

anxiouslyY do you s'pose mine Is
all right and won't get lost? Shall

Mother Dear laughed and told
Dorothy that her letter was quite
safe.
ut will have a ride on one train
and on another before 1t gets to
Mary Elizabeth's town." she said,
"and after a time 1t will reach

and Mary Elizabeth will go to get
it."
isn't 1t wonderful" said Dorothy
with shining eyes.
Mother Dear stopped in the little
store next to the postoffice to buy
some white embroidery cotton.
Dorothy was glad to go with her,
because she found the little store
almost as interesting as the post
office.

THE STITCHES IN A MANS COAT

A stitch in time saves nine, and
there are more than 10000 stitches in
mans sack coat. 1t would be vir-
tually impossible for any man to tell
just how many stitches there are in
his clothes, and it is doubtful If any
two people carry the same number.
Nevertheless, there are few who
have less than $4,000 stitches in their
clothes.

New Hair Ornaments

The new hair ornaments may have
borrowed their color schemes from the
new wigs, for they come in semi
green, mauve, old rose and bronze
transparent compositions.
The designs, too, are odd, for small
plumes, birds, conventional figures
and Oriental ones are reproduced In
the composition and not In feathers or
spun glass, as heretofore. They are
often profusely set with brilliants of
the same hue.
In the costlier combinations these
are elegant in their simplicity, and the
brilliants are then replaced by semi
precious stones. jade, beryl and golden
bits of smoked amber.
The forms of the new combs would
indicate that high dressing is to
prevail.

Gasoline or naphtha is the easiest
cleansing agent to use on fabrics of

Laundering a Centrepiece

Here is an excellent way to launder
a round centrepiece and keep 1t fiat.
Wash it with white soap in the usual
way, wiring out, and have a piece Of
white muslin or sheet spread upon
the carpet. Then take the centre
piece and spread it on the sheet, which
should be larger than the centrepiece,
pin the centrepiece all around the
edges and see that it is smooth.
after it is pinned out, put cover
over 1t and keep it clean while it is
drying. This is an easier and better
way than ironing. Be sure that it is
dry before taking 1t up.

Decorating for a Wedding

Eleanor J.-Why not purchase
some burlap and cover the shelves
with it? Get rice cloth and tack it
on and hang a few pictures near
the top and you will find that it
will look similar to a solid wall.
There are several places where
you can have decorating done but
it is impossible for me to name
them in this column.
Do not get gaudy colors, and have
your decorations very plain.
pretty color scheme would be to
have brown burlap from the ceiling
to the floor and have large vases
and jardinieres filled with golden
glow or any yellow fall flower. You
will find that the two colors blend
very prettily.
You might get green burlap and
have lavender and purple flowers.

Silver should never be neglected, but

Weton, in a last desperate effort,
broke away, leaped through the
closed window to the cobblestones,
two stories below. He broke his leg
and was taken to a police hospital,
and, when he recovered, to America
for long term of Imprisonment.
The police captain said:
"Weton was considered the strong

strong to have the best of him. I
wish you belonged to the force. How

appropriate by every aesthetic girl.
All told, satin makes the most sue

Spots unremoved bring destruction

may be-
Powdered pumiee stone should all
ways be on hand, in a small wooden
or tin box, or even in a bottle. Many
things that are usually kept in boxes
can be kept in bottles, which are more
durable, cleaner and take up less
room. Pumice stone is the best thing
for removing spots from marble.
Vinegar should always be access
Bile. and small bottle of it on the
spot self is a good idea.
Mix it with silver polish to remove
deep-seated tarnish from metal. Use

suggestion.
Would you kindly give me a few
points in regard to the kind of

Thanks, Mrs. F. T. B., am sure
your remedy is very good, but you

The newest in wraps are the slip
on capes. They are plain circular
capes and are fastened with silk
straps which are drawn under the
arms and tie in the back. The
white chinchilla coat is still worn
to a great extent and the silk coat

most practical and comfortable
wrap of the season.
