HOT WEATHER COMFORT

SCIENTISTS have taken up the task of
problems of everyday life. Heat is one of
our everyday summer occurrences-we
have far too much OF it, in most regions,
to suit most of us. And of late years
scientists have been turning their atten-
ton to the means whereby we may lessen
our discomfort and suffering from heat.
To begin with, we are cautioned not to
eat too much. Just now overeating is
blamed for so many ills Of the flesh, and
of the spirit, too, that there is some danger
that we may eat too little That danger
Is slight, however, according to these same
scientists.
Cool drinks, we are reminded, are not
necessarily cooling They cool the mouth
and many of us have known the time
when we would cast all science aside
and throat. Cool water, not iced, but
cool. is. however. always cooling
beverage, and we SHOULD drink plenty of
1t, not too much with our meals, but at
frequent intervals throughout the day
Rich ice creams are almost as heating
as steamed buildings. And they take
long to digest, too. Water ices, consisting
OF sugar., water and a f1avorng agent,
usually a fruit juice are about in the
same category with iced drinks, although
they sometimes retard digestion because
of their chillines..
Another thing to make us cool is exer-
else. That sounds like a contradiction.
But the truth is that if We are unduly
fat we suffer from the heat, and if we
exercise and keep our flesh within bounds
we are more comfortable. Moreover ex-
ercise keeps our physical condition sound,
and helps US withstand evil effects of in
tense heat.

The blouse of this frock has the same
arrangement of silk above the belt as
the skirt has below it. 1t also is held

the material, edged with button and but

The long. small sleeves are set in on
the lining, trick which Cheruit began
two years ago. and which seems to be
coming back in high favor. The armhole
is merely stitched or corded in these new
frocks and hangs loosely above the
sleeve, which is sometimes of a different

Lawn and Porch Parties.

The picnic season is upon us, and the
period for garden and porch parties is
here. For such parties the preparations
need not be lavish.
If more than half a dozen are to be
present, small tables should be ar
ranged on the porch.
A larger table for holding the sup
ply of eatables should stand at one
side or just inside one of the windows
opening from the house upon the
porch.
This, like the smaller tables. should
be spread with a white cloth, unless a
pretty variety is introduced by using
the dainty crepe paper covers that
come in many charming designs to
cover the little tables.
At each of these there should be
places for four. with plates, knives,
forks. spoons. glasses and napkins. A
small vase of flowers should stand in
the middle of each table.
The refreshments for such an affair
need not be elaborate, but they should
be well cooked and daintily served
Meat, nut, cheese or salad sandwiche s,
deviled eggs, fried chicken. fruit and
iced tea or milk is a good combination
for such a party.

at last it was given out as a fact
that Sticky-Toes could call rain. The
little people believed it because they
wanted to believe it. Then they be-
gan to be angry because he didn't call
rain, never once stopping to think how
foolish it was to believe that any one
could call rain. Yes. sir. they began
to blame little Sticky-Toes for the dry
about him, and then to threaten what
they would do to him IL they found
him and he refused to call rain. You

them cross and unreasonable. And
