Of a task, especially II said youngster Is

idly. Dresses are not SO hard to choose
however. A safe rule is to use sheer
materials, such as batlste, French lawn

the very newest this season is hand
shocking. Most Of them are made IN
Mother Hubbard style, with a high
waist, smocked or embroidered, with
touches Of fine valenciennes lace.
The choosing of a becoming hat for

1t means that the careful mother must

of her head and profile, and, naturally
to adapt the hat chosen to these quail

CHILDREN'S CORNER
Tommy Tittle-Mouse Has Visitor

TOMMY TITTLE-MOUSE and his little
i mate were so busy getting settled that
they had no time to look around and get
acquainted with their new home or TO
see their new nelghbors. They cleared out
the crack in the log that the garden toad
had pointed out to them, till it was broad
and deep. And they found to their delight
that, a tiny little streak OF a crack ran
clear through the log.
"I believe we had better gnaw that out
into a passage way for use when danger
threatens from the front" said Tommy
to his mate.
That's we'll enough to plan for" she
replied wisely, but we must first finish
this front part" She very well knew how
hard 1t was to get Tommy to finish a job
he liked to begin better than to finish.
So Tommy, like tho good little Title
Mouse that he was, worked faithfully
and together they finished the front OF
the new home. Never was there such a
wide smooth floor! Never was there such
a safe sheltered entrancel Tommy and
Mrs. Tommy were so proud and happy
they wanted to sit down and look at It all
and talk about It all the time.
Rut there was no time! Just as they
were through and settled down to admire
II all, Mrs. Tommy happened to look upl
Right there in the doorway was
strange. queer-looking shell!
Now how In the world!' exclaimed
Tommy Tlttle-Mouse, did that get there?
Didn't Just finish clearing up our muss7
And, anyway, there was no such thing
there to clear up! I'm sure of that! How
did that get there?"
Mrs. Tommy didn't answer; she had
run back deep into the new home for
safety. Tommy! Come hereH' she called
softly. Tommy! Come here! You'll be
killed! l saw that shell move and I'm

sure it's some strange new enemy that
we know nothing about!"
An awful shiver of fear ran down Tom
my's spine AS fast as he could scamper
he ran back into the cave to where Mrs.
Tommy lay shaking and trembling. Saw
It move?" he whispered to her when he
got his breath, isn't 1t a shell? Shells
don't move. I've seen them in the house
many a time, and they don't move
they're dead things"
Then this isn't a she'll" whispered
back Mrs Tommy fearfully., because l
surely saw it move. Wait, now. and
watch"
IF only we had made that other en-
trance"' cried Tommy under his breath,
then we would have a way OUT
"Well, we didn't" said Mrs. Tommy,
$50 let's stay right here and see what
that thing is-maybe 1t will go away with
out seeing u.s."
The little creature In the she'll laughed
softly.
The two frightened little creatures
crouched back into the farthest corner
and waited, And while they watched,
two hair-like prongs peeped out of the
she'll two tiny bright eyes looked around
and soft voice said, Don't be afraid
it's only me and won't hurt you"
Tommy Title Mouse could hardly be-
lleve his ears! He looked at Mrs. Tommy
and she looked at him. and then together
they said, who's me?"
The little creature in the shell laughed
softly and replied, I'm a snail. and, II
you don't object, I may often pass your
doorway. as you live so close to my
home. But I'll never hurt you, am your
friend"
So poor frightened Tommy and his little
mate crawled out of the dark corner and
got acquainted with their strange new
guest

Call on Fellow Males to Support Con:
stitutional Amendment.

obANhIANlltlA
An appeal to all men Of Pennsylvania
to support the woman suffrage cause is
made today by the Pennsylvania Mems
League for Woman Suffrage. Thousands
of letters have been sent broadcast
through the State by Wilmer Atkinson,
of this city president of the league,
urging men TO aid the women in their
fight for the ballot and to vote favor
ably upon the bill allowing a constltu-
tional amendment granting woman suf-
frase when It comes up before the peo-
pie in the fall.
Blank membership slips of the Mems
League are inclosed with each of the
letters mailed. Mr. Atkinson requests
that these be signed and returned as a
pledge to support the cause" In part
the letters sent read as follows:
THE time has come when the men Of
Pennsylvania should bestir themselves in
aiding their mothers, wives, sisters and
daughters to obtain the ballot. Women
have been struggling for years for their
rights the rights which we possess and
prize and now they appeal to US for
help"

unattractive wife. Moreover, 1t would
be we'll for the recalcitrant lady to
realize that her husband is only human
and that when he leaves her and goes
into the city he sees hundreds OF at
tractive women who make the remem-
brance of his wife's morning appearance
and morning mental attitude suffer by
comparison.
But some wives are deplorably sure
concerning their husbands affections.
Fear that that affection may be trans
ferred, never for a moment enters their
heads The charms Of other women are
unbelievable In their eyes, at least where
their husbands are concerned. They
imagine that the latter are quite in
vulnerable. It was a man and not
woman who declared that "the other
woman is the spare tire in the matri-
monial trial rum" And It would be better
If some modern wives would view their
matrimonial venture as a species of trial
run in which, instead Of taking the
loyalty and affection of their husbands
for granted, they would put forth a per-
petual effort for tho nourishlng and the
keeping Of that affection.
