TO WHILE AWAY HOT DAYS.

When a woman must remain at home
the greater part of the summer she Is
entitled to the luxury Of providing some
pretty pickup work for passing away
the time Most women feel that they
have enough plain sewing to do to avoid
any unnecessary labor, but the woman
who can make dainty trifies, choehet OF
knit or embroider, will find that the
pleasure Of handling pretty things is very
different from hemrning dish-towels and
mending, for instance.
When the hands are employed, the
mind is quieted and in this way a great
deal of pleasant labor can be accom-.
plished and the results laid away fol-
the inevitable -bazaars and Christmas
demands, for in the busy autumn there
is little chance for handwork.
There Is nothing like sitting still and
thinking about the weather to make one
feel the heat, and the experiment of a
little employment which is really a lux
ury is worth a trial. -
The woman away does not hesitate to
spend a great deal of time in fancy work,
and II is certainly not extravagant for her
less fortunate neighbor who remains at
home to seek a little mild pleasure OF
the same kind. E
II possible take your work, a paper or
book>and take a car to one of the many
pleasant places in, the suburbs or park
and with the aid of camp-stool a pleas
ant and profitable half day can be passed
out-of-doors. 1t may seem an effort the
first time, but after that the experiment
will be gladly repeated.

Motion Picture Editor: With regard
to your coupon campaign. let me say that
your summary Of general preferences,
obtained 50 far. agrees with my own
preferences exactly. This inelines me
therefore, TO look upon Washington au-
dienees as "wondrous wise" because
they agree with me.
The reasons for your composite result
are easily seen: The short program oi
three, or four reels. dramas and come
dies, suits the peculiar makeup OF the
motion picture show, It's Informal drop
in and drop-out characteristic. And, al
so. as Il IL noticed that the feature plays
are not generally favored. II is timely
to say that many Of these so-caliec
features" depend on mere length. they
are obviously stretched. I have seer
four, or five-reeI dramas that would have
been moro effective II condensed into
one. or two reels; In such cases the SIT
uations are. practically, duplicated, and
the action drags- OF course. this does
not apply TO legitimate features where
The story told could not be chopped on
into one reel; for instance. MI. Barnes
Of New oYrk." though the six acts. OF
reels, held the attention from start to
finish. But. even at best, there is the
Inconvenience OF arriving in the middle
and sitting through the last half with
out knowing what II is all about The
only remedy for this is In finding out
when Il starts. but this brings US back to
the old slavery TO the clock; one OF the
charms Of the picture show Is the get
there e-when-you-please element
And. the prevailing indifference TO edu-
cational films can be understood. as
most people get tired of having their
minds improved" all the time. We are
most OF US living at a high tension. and
the great need Is not so much instruc-
ton, as relaxation. And i do not mean
trash, or horse-play. as such perform
anees relax only those who are already
too much relaxed. But, when go TO a
place OF entertainment, i would rather
not have my mind improved, unless In
cidentally. OF course. IL needs improv-
ing. but, fortunately. I have the great
essayist. Charles Lamb. on my side: see
his essay on the theater, ! haven't II
handy. else might be tempted TO quote
from II. which would make my letter
so long that Ye Editor might tear his
hair-unless he Is bald like Pop" An
