suited to the milder days that are to
come. In whatever way it is finished,
it is essentially smart and attractive,
and since the belt can be arranged over
the fronts Or under them, it is adapted
to almost every figure. The, fullness in
the back, is laid in plaits and they are

Present fashions are showing remarks
ably attractive costumes for small bows.
This one is both picturesque and prac-
teal. The trousers and blouse are
finished separately, buttoned together,
and consequently, it is always easy to have
fresh blouse at hand. For the present
and for many weeks to come, serge and
the like will be much used and heavy
ribbed silk for dressy occasions, but a
little later, the suit would be charming
made of linen, of poplin or of the light
weight eponge that is used for boys of
any suitable washable fabric, the blouse
always being white and of a thin ma
terial. The straight trousers and the
little open jacket are both exceedingly
easy to make. The blouse is sleeveless
and the cuffs are attached to the jacket,
and that arrangement means extreme
comfort for the summer days for which so
many mothers are already preparing.
For the year size will Be needed 2L
yds. OF material Fl in. wide, as yds. IS,

cup Of hot tea taken at o'clock
in the afternoon will be found very
refreshing and invigorating. If taken
al 5, the hour fovored by many hos
tesses, it is liable to spoil ones appe-
tite for the $50 or o'clock dinner.
The little ceremony of serving tea is
SO simple and redolent of hospitality
that it should be introduced in every
household. even if there be only two
Or three members and the chance
guest to enjoy it.
The tea wagon of wicker or wood
has greatly facilitated tea serving.
On this may be placed the pretty
china, only teacups and saucers, per-
haps, or possibly bread and butter
plates may be added with the creamer,
dish of cut sugar spoon, dish of thinly
sliced lemon, the china pot for the
brewing and the small kettle for heat
ing the water.
Tea alone may be served, or one
may add thin slices of bread and but

crackers, sandwiches or tiny cakes. If
the day be cold, buttered toast or
toasted and buttered mullins may be

Best Way to Make Tea.
AS the tea is the most important
part of this informal little function,
be sure that it is correctly made.
This is really of more Importance
than it's proper serving. The one way
favored by the Orientals requires that
the water be freshly drawn and boil
ing furiously in the kettle. Rinse out
the teapot with some of this water,
then put in a level teaspoonful of the
leaves for each person to be served
and allow one over for the pot. Cover
the leaves only with the actively boil
ing water, adjust the lid, cover the pot
with a quilted "cosey'' and let it stand
for two minutes. Keep the water
boiling in the kettle, and at the end
of the two minutes pour in the desire d
quantity of water, and again place
under the "cosey' for two minutes
longer. This gives tea Il delicious
aroma and makes it strong enough 70

DEPARTMENT STORE
GIRL IN POLLS PLAY

The obstacles which confront a de-
partment store girl furnish the basis
OF the story of Maggie Pepper" the
Charles Klein drama in which the
Hartford Poll Players are appearing
this week. Rose Stahl made a hit
in this play and Marguerite Skirvin,
the leading woman Of the Players, is
doing likewise. The play is one that
will make direct appeal to every
girl who works for a living, for it
deals with a character one might ex-
pect to find in any big store. Mag
gle Pepper is gifted with a business
sense that is, perhaps, greater than
that Of the average working girl, but
still the character is typical.
At the opening of the play Maggie
Pepper is assistant buyer in a big de-
partment store. The buyer has re-
signed and Maggie thinks that she is
entitled to the place, but the manager
decides otherwise The new pro-
prietor, a young man who has just
returned from London, listens as
Maggie tells him why the store is not
making a bigger success. She does
not know that she is telling her story
to the new boss" But the young
man decides to settle down, to take
an active part in the management Of
his fathers store and TO follow some
of the suggestions made by Maggie.
She is made buyer Of the store and is
immensely successful.

what drove the girls from the country
was excessive hard work required of
them on the farm and a great part
was the carrying of water, which in
most instances had to be brought in
pals from some distance and at best
secured from a pump outside the
house. They argued If there was
faucet in every house where water
could be obtained a great part OF the
drudgery could be avoided. They said
the women of the household had to

the boiling Of water used in tea
making: There are three stages of
boiling. The first is when the little
bubbles like fishes eyes swim on the
surfoce; the second stage is when the
bubbles are like crystal beads rolling
in a fountain, and the third boil is
when the pillows surge wildly in the

TeapOts.
Many of the Japanese teapots have
a small earthenware strainer, in which
the tea is put when the boiling water
IS poured over it. This, by keeping
the leaves from soaking IN the water,
prevents the sharp bitter taste result
ing from the tanic acid which is
brought out by prolonged sleeping.
AS tea leaves are so light when
dry it is by no means extravagant to
pay high price for reliable brand
and an exclusive flavor. A quarter
of a pound will last for a considerable
time. Keep the tea always In a we'll
covered tin box or canister, and be
careful to measure out exactly the
quantity desired for the tea making.
Many hostesses use perforated sill
Yer tea ball in preference. to the tea
pot. Although this possesses the re-
commentator Of producing the exact
strength desired by each guest, it
rarely gives as good a cup of tea as
when the beverage is brewed in a tea
pot under a "cCsey." A small silver
strainer should however, always be
used in connection with the teapot, SO
that no unsightly leaves may find their
way into the tea cups.

A Great Cause Challenges Your Attendance

On July 6, 7, 8 and 9, there will be held at Atlantic
City the Biennial Congress of the American Anti
Saloon League This convention, in its personnel,
promise and Thickness will be of first rank
Importance in American history No more beautiful
place could have been selected for the great meeting
than Atlantic City, with its splendid walks drives,
views, surf bathing, sea breezes, millon-dolar
pier, with its four great audtorums for the
elusive of the temperance hosts.
The date of the convention is opportune. July is
the month when business slows down for the vacation
and when the breezes at their best.
The program has never been excelled. The fore
most publicists, statesmen and reformers of America
will be heard from the platforms of the great audi
forums. 1t will be attended by the finest types OF
American citizenship.
This congress promises greater good for humanity
than the Magma Charta or the Declaration of indie
pendence. A great challenges your attend
ance. The expense will not be great. The pleasure
and profit will be immense. You cannot afford to be
absent.

Selling the Children to Save the Saloon

Under the above caption the Philadelphia Public
Ledger exposes the coldblooded way in which the Ii
quor interests of Pennsylvania endeavoring to
sacrifice little children to the nefarious liquor
business. Certain employers who have been exploiting
childhood for dollars working against the child
labor bill They do not want their profits nterfered
with But if they to successfully combat the bill
they must have help What natural than that
they should 60 to the liquor interests the recognized
enemy of childhood? And SO the Ledger makes the
bald statement that trade is agreed upon whereby
the liquor interests to throw what strength they
command to the defeat of the child labor bill and
these INSCRIPTIONS employers of children are to
throw their strength to the defeat Of the local option
bill In other words the children of Pennsylvania
be sold in the interests of the diser and brewer
And thus again the liquor interests prove them
selves tc be the enemy of childhood

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

The abstinence rule should prevail first of all for
the good of the individuals for what it does for him
physically and mentally. If employee inclines to
the belief that abstinence is enforced in the shop for
the sole purpose of bringing profits the boss be-
cause of increased efficiency of the men, it might be
that the bosses abstemious example would help to dis
pei this erroneous idea little observation will show
that the chief benefits of abstinence to the
practicng abstinence. The sober workman is the
prosperous workman, and his temperated living is of
far more benefit him personally than possibly
be to the who employs him.

 Gaston Durand of the 5Oth infantry fell in one of the violent engagements in the Argonne Forest, wounded in Che arm by a fragment of a shell, with bullet in his jaw and nearly scalped by blow from a sabre. He tried to rise, but heavy weight fell upon him and then he lost consciousness. The first thing he became aware of was a feeling that rcsemblcd a caress upon his forehead.

his three wounds, he is now mending, all thanks to Tom.
 Toms is not an isolated incident of the devotion of the ambulance dog. A case is reported from the vicinity of Verdun in which a dog discovered a soldier who had been wounded in the head and who had received first-aid from one of his comrades, who after wards had been obliged to abandon him. His cap had also been lost and the dog could find nothing that he could carry back to the ambulance to ,eport his find, but he had the intel .igence not to touch the bandage on the soldiers head. Finally, despair ing of finding anything he could carry back, he lay down on the ground op- posite the wounded man and howled dismally until help came.
 Dr. Vertier, surgeon in the 18th Army Corps, reports that the ambu- lance dogs in his corps have saved hundreds of lives and that not in a single instance have they mistaken a dead body for a wounded man. In some cases where the soldiers cap could not be found, the dog has torn open his knapsack and hunted out something that he could carry back to show that he had made a discovery.
 The national Society for the train ing of ambulance dogs has already sent 100 of these animals into the fields and IT more are soon to go. Dr.. Troussaint, director of the Sanitary Service at the ministry of war has authorised the training of stretcher bearers with the dogs, so that they may be able to work better in har- mony. the dog knowing the man and he man knowing the dog
 For the same reason that the servi- ces os the dog have become necessary in finding the wounded, they have be- come useful, as demonstrated in the Belgian campaign, in the bringing up of machine guns. The dogs are so trained that the soldiers are not oblig- ed to accompany them in hauling the guns; they creep along under cover as well as they can to the desired posi- ton, leaving the dogs and the guns behind. When they have reached the desired location, all they have to do is to whistle and the dogs come up with the machine guns and are scarce ly noticeable to the enemy.
