FEW DYED FURS IN THE SETS.

The undyed skins are more in de-

years. Fox leads in white and red,
while the black, it is predicted. will be
more worn than for several seasons.
Black lynx, too, is to he looked on with
great favor. The latter is such Il beau
tiful, soft, silky fur that the fact that it
will be much cheaper than for some
time past will certainly increase it's
popularity. The only fur that is dyed
that will be much in demand is the fox
dyed gray. Black fox, pointed, will
also be selected in many instances
where novelty is preferred. Beaver
is again popular, and as fur for hard
wear it is to be recommended. Besides,
its color will do much to tighten and
add touch Of color to the darker
hued suits.
With high collars on suits and coats

be had at very reasonable prices, for
only small quantity of the fur is nee

tons OF fur or small heads. The head

occasionally in the fall furrier's. This
neckpiece falls to the waist and many
times extends to the knees. Muffs are

What Is a Camper?

The world now knows the answer to
the momentous question, What is a
camper? The United States public
health service gives the information in
these few simple words: Campers are

vert to primeval modes of existence
and ostensibly obtain enjoyment there

and lead to immediate wildness. In this
there is no harm and often much good.
However, one thing should not be for
gotten-the arrangements. Allow the
animals to break loose once more for
the seasonal enjoyment, but by all
means have the camp sanitary, so that
in their wildness they will do no

For the Papers Younger Readers
THE WASP AND THE SPIDER.
In Which the Latter Is Caught and
Stunu to Death.


This incident comes from Albany, n
Y: A small garden spider had spun his
web in a corner where perpendicular
column and horizontal rail met and
from the ambush Of hidden crack
awaited his prey. A handsome yellow
wasp passing that way espied the
graceful trap and made for it. Setting
his feet lightly on two or three Of the
mcshes, he started up great buzzing
which shook the web from end to end.
The watchful spider ran out little
way, stretched forth a delicate foot to
make sure Of the location OF the sup
posed fly, and then rushed for It.,
alighting on the wasp with a gleeful
Jump and no doubt a grin OF hideous
triumph. But Mr. Spider had reckoned
without his host. Like a flash of light
ming, the wasps six nimble legs closed
upon him, the graceful body bent near-
ly double, and once, twice, thrice.
again and again, the sharp sting pierre
ed the luckless spider. AS his strug-
giles grew fainter and finally ceased,
the wasp, with a spring, disentangled
himself from the silken net and bore
away his spidery victim in triumph

W0men's Ways and Fancies
SETTLE YOUR HOME.
After Vacation Ends This Task Falls
to the Housewife.


Coming home from Il vacation is not
relished by any worker, but it is par
ticularly hard for the housewife. who
must set her home in order immediate
ly upon her return. And this is the
lot which awaits most women who
have spent the summer in the country
and whose homes or apartments have
been shut up during the hot weather.
A partially dlsmantlcd apartment Is
a most depressing sight to view upon
ones homecoming and the prospect OF
all the work to he done to put the
rooms in order will not add to the gay
ETY. Of ones spirits However, the work
must be done and done quickly. so 1t
must be accepted with the best grace
possible.
If the housewife has been careful
about closing up the house before her
departure in the early part Of summer.
her task Of reopening the rooms and
setting them in order will be consider
ably lessened ut this time of year. All
that will he necessary will he to dust.
strip off the coverings from furniture
and pictures, put down the rugs after
the floors have been oiled and hang up
the curtains and outer coverings.
In opening up the house for winter
occupation begin with the bedrooms.
for these will be needed first. 1t is de-
cidedly unhealthy to sleep even for one
night in rooms that have been unaired
for several weeks. So throw open the
windows the moment you enter the
house and let the fresh air clear out
the musty odors. Now begin by taking
down the bed and going over every
crack and crevice carefully, wiping Off
every particle of dust and washing
with gasoline If necessary Do not
use gasoline near fire or open light.
Next tackle the mattress. This
should be thoroughly brushed, beaten
!, and aired before being put back on the
bed. The same treatment should be
accorded the springs. While the bed
is thus dismantled, the springs and
mattresses having been sent to the roof
for an airing if possible, wipe off the
walls of the bedroom with q broom
wrapped i'm flannel This will do away
with the chance of microbes remaining
in the room from dust which may have
collected on the walls.
! Now the bed is ready to be made
and the rest of the room set in order.
This work will take up probably an
entire day. and as 1t is the most i'm
portant and necessary work to be done
after the housewives return, she
should rest content with her labors and
leave the rest of the house for some
future time.
1t is unwise to try to accomplish too
much after the return. for all the bene-
fit of the vacation will be gone if the
housewife becomes tired out while put
ting her house in order.

FOR THE BRIDE TO BE.

If you are looking for something
useful and yet a little different" for
the bride to be, why don't you make
her a dozen tea napkins? There are
various ways to add hand embroidery
to the set. Hemstitching is one way,
a scalloped edge for each article in
the set is another or border of cross
stitching about three inches in from
the edge of the square will prove ef-
fective. Should the latter method be
selected little cross stitch design can
be worked quickly and effectively on
the corner of each napkin.
Should several members Of the fam
lily he on intimate terms with the
bride to be they could give combi-
nation gift. including the linen tea set
and the china tea set. In such in
stance the linen could easily be en-
broidered in color to match the most
prominent color of the china. A gift
so full of personal touches would be
sure to be appreciated by the recipient.

MANHATTAN ISLAND.
It Was Once a Spot Apart From the
Island of Manhattan.

Island Of Manhattan.
The Magazine Of American History
has called attention to distinction in
New York nomenclature that, despite
the authority it quotes, "every Man.
hattanese' does not know. The maga-
zine cites the following footnote to
1.-The Spy" by James Fenimore Cooper
and then comments on it:
Every Manhattanese knows the diff
ference between Manhattan Island and
the Island of Manhattan. The first is
ity Of Corlear's Hook. while the last
embraces the whole island. or the city
and county of New York as it is term
ed in the laws.

that his chief ambition when he grew
up was "to swim the Hudson river

Mrs. Shepard's arm encircled her

house. Her flushed cheeks and spark

said she could not express.

The First Chinese Evangelical church
of Chicago today stands in the shadow
of the old south side red light district.
Its organization was completed when
It began its formal ministry to the
1000 orientals in the city. From II
small mission the work has grown to
such an extent as to justify an indie

tonal in character, being formed un-
der the auspices of the cooperative
council Of city missions.
''If the members ofAmerican churches
were as faithful in attendance at the
evening services as are our Chinese
there would be no Sunday evening
problem for the churches Of the CITY,"
said Frank w. Lee, the Chinese pas
tor. Mr.. Lee, graduate of New York
university, has recently been engaged
in missionary educational work at Can
ton, China. He lives at 6957 Prince
ton avenue.
"Our people are Unconditional" he
continued. "but are exceedingly faith

all of these Chinese ultimately will re-

Expressions of Love,

1t is in keeping the love of others
that most OF us woe.ully fail. And we
fail very largely because we are not
careful i'll expressing love. Here we
ought not to be confused by terms. En-
pressing love does not necessarily mean
using the language OF endearment. On
the contrary, those who love most
deeply are likely to be the least given
to endearing terms, which may indi-
cate a poverty Of deep love or the alb
sence Of any love.
