Refurnishing the Summer
Home Should Be Done with
A Thought of Comfort

The time for refurnishing the summer
home or adding to its fitments is here
again and the assortment Of novelties in
cool. comfortable willow and wicker
ware seems unlimited. and this is essen
TALLY the furniture for summer. 1t comes
apparently in every shade. from the
daintiest lavender for the pretty guest
room to the bea utiful rich greens and
browns for the al fresco living room or
veranda. A summer home could be fitted
out completely upstairs and downstairs
with wickerware novelties.
Each summer season brings SO many
attractive novelties to the shops that the
housekeeper is likely to want them. The
hall appointments are particularly good
the two-piece settee for the stairway
nook. the wicker hat strip with the
stained wooden pegs. the golf stick rack.
the wicker mail box with leather lining
and the key cabinets for the larger and
more pretentious adjustment.
For the living room or veranda there
is a varied lot of tables. Then there are
quaint English muffin racks and fasci-
mating trays for out-of-door service. And
such a display of fiat baskets to be used
in lieu of silver dishes for serving cakes
and sandwiches.
Among the other novelties are paneled
wicker screens. smoking tables, chatting
dish ca binets to be used for evening
suppers on the veranda. and book and
ma gazine stands or ''catch-alls." Then
there are fascinating wicker bird cages
in different kinds and colors to be used
for their original purposes or. when fitted
with electric lights. answer for lanterns
on the veranda or in the informal dining
room.
This 1915 wicker season shows a new
line OF wall pockets both for flowers and
trailing vines and for any small articles
about the average living room. The
wicker-covered aquarium also is de-
cided novelty. as we'll the odd wicker

What La Mouche

Do you know what the French woman
means by a mouche? You suppose that
a mouche means a beauty-patch, a piece
Of court plaster cut in a fantastic shape
or in a simple little patch. such as the
powdered-haired beauties of the eight
zenith century wore to set of their
dazzling beauty.
But every true Partisan woman has
her mouche. whether 1t be of court
plaster or not and without knowing the
science of the mouche she does not feel
that she knows how to dress. So your
supposition Is only partly correct
The present-day mouches. about which
the Parisienne knows so much, are more
cleverly and more skilfully applied than
those of the eighteenth century. They
are points Of strategy in her dress. In
one Of his novels. Balzac mentions this
tendency Of the French woman to focus
attention on some point In her dress
some idividual touch which she cleverly
gives Il.
These little mouches Of the we'll
dressed Partisan woman of fashion often
set a widespread style. For instance.
one puts a black velvet ribbon about her
throat. or wears only one ring. or a
single ornament of jewelry. or puts on a
black Jet bracelet of her grandmother,
or wears a single odd and brilliant
flower.
And these mouches. adopted for a day
by some clever Partisan woman. will set
the fashion for the rest of womankind
Then the Partisan elesancese will discard
them for others of her own invention.
OF course. most women cannot set
fashions as the great Parisiennes can.
But anyone can have some little. dis
tinctive touch about her dress that ans
wers to the French mouche. Some odd
way of arranging the hair. different from
the mode to make 1t noticeable, not diff
ferent enough to make 1t questionable.
is a method Of gaining distinction.
The wearing Of an old piece Of jewelry.
or of q special stone. also gives dis
tinction. SO does the adoption Of a
special color. or Of special sort Of hair
pin. or of a certain style OF glove.
The mouche is worth adopting-not the
odd little piece of court plaster which
brings out the fairness and color of
the skin, but the unusual touch, the
focusing point, in the costume.

FEAR OF MAKING MISTAKES

though they were careful men who

Do the best you can. You are never

Auto Mishap in Albion.

! A car driven by Archie Wentworth,
in which was his sister, Miss Cecil, and
Miss Anna Post of Milton, friend who
was visiting her, plunged over the en-
bankment of an open bridge that was
washed away by the recent flood on
the middle Albion road near the old
Saunders farm, Tuesday evening,
throwing the occupants into ten feet of
water in the creek. The young ladies
were rescued from drowning after Miss
Wentworth had gone down the second
time. Aside from an injured shoulder
to Miss Cecil, the others sustained only
slight scratches. After their plunge in
the stream they were taken to the Lar
son home near by, given dry clothing
and DR.. Morrison called. He found
the injuries to Miss Wentworth Shout
der of such nature that an Xray was
made of it to determine the exact eX-
tent.
q The young people started from the
Wentworth country home about 9
o'clock for a moonlight ride and the
driver evidently had forgotten that the
road was closed until too late to avoid
the accident. At any rate the OBJ
structions near the bridge were down
where work had been commenced
in excavating for the new butments.
The car jumped the trench and stood
almost on it's head in the soft dirt
thrown up on the creek side. Until it
is removed it cannot be told how much
damage has been sustained to it. In
view of all the circumstances it might
be considered a very forsunate acct
dent. This road, however, has been
supposed to be closed to travel ever
since the bridge was carried away in
the flood of Sept. IL.
