Coffee and tea are the two bever-

though their use has steadily in

This is the season when simple frocks
are sure to be needed, for mothers are
preparing for the warm weather and
washable fabrics must be considered.
Here is one that can be made with W
shaped neck and rolling collar, or with
high neck and standing collar. 1t is
trimmed to give the chemisette effect,
and can be worn either with a sash
or without one. In the picture, it is
made of very dainty cotton crepe with
trimming of colored linen, and the sash
is of ribbon. The slashes are cut In front
and In back and are finished with bound
edges. The shirrings at the shoulders
are held in place by plain yoke or stay
stitched to the under side. Almost any
pretty child-like material can be used
in this way, challis or other light
weight wool as we'll as the cotton ma
teriaIs, and among the latter is to be
found very great variety, The frock
is closed for the full length at the
back, and that treatment means that
it is easy to iron. For the sash can be
used ribbon or soft silk or the material
finished with hem-stitched edges.
For the 8 year size will be needed 3
yds. Of material a7 in. wide, a5s yds.

TO those who have endured for
years the itching torments of eczema

lief that the first use of Resinol Oint-

simple mild and inexpensive can stop
the itching and burning INSTANTLY!
And they find it still more wonder
full that the improvement is perma-

1t was so hot that little sizzling blue
heat waves kept dancing up and down
before Helen's eyes. Helen was hav-
ing rather a hard time getting used to
the hot weather, as heat always tired
her, and every move she made seemed
to bring utter exhaustion in its wake.
That morning she had walked early
with one of her headaches and had lain
q long while watching the east streak
with gold from her balcony window.
somehow 1t never seemed a bit cooler
earlier In the morning than it did later
ION, at least she never seemed to feel
ANY cooler, although Warren insisted
that she imagined 1t, for 1t was always
hotter in the middle of the day.
They had had breakfast in their
room, and Warren had started out
early for Panama City on business.
Helen had not felt we'll enough to go,
but somehow she felt better as the
morning wore away and after she had
fallen asleep again. The notion seized
her suddenly to browse around in
the shops all morning and then come
home and have lunch in the glassed-
in diningroom. Winifred was asleep
and she would get the chambermaid
TO look out for her till she got back.
Tt was the first time since they had
struck the tropics that Helen had felt
like exerting herself.
She took a cold shower and pulled
fresh clothing out of her trunk. All
tho while she was dressing she sang
little song happily to herself. and
her cool white dress, with its black
velvet sash and streamers, her little
white hat and her sport shoes all felt
cool and aim comfortable. She
went down the stone corridor and out
to the glaring heat of tho porch

climbed in, and a moment later was
driving down the quaint main street
of Colon, which is the most fascinat-
ing part of the entire city. Not beau
tiful, and squalid beyond words in
some parts, dusty and hot. but differ
ent because of the Old World foreign
atmosphere.
Helen had a great desire to buy a
Panama hat and one of the beautiful
Japanese kimonos that she had heard
were so cheap here. She ordered the
driver to stop after she had reached
the busy part of the town, and, pay
ing him. began to stroll along slowly
looking at the shops as she passed.
There was nothing in the way of an
American store for blocks. Once she
passed an apology for a drug store
and finally a couple of stores with
American goods in the windows. But
the foreign shops with fascinating
pieces of gorgeous silks, heavy Japa-
nese black wood, eXquisitely carved
ivory pieces and heavily embroidered
limonos, were crowded everywhere.
Almond-eyed Orientals looked at heT
curiously as she passed. There were
no white people about. and finally
more to get out of the heat than
anything else, Helen slipped into the
cool darkness of one of the shops.
No one was there, and she walked
around looking at things for a few
moments, then she stepped up to the
counter and asked to look at kimonos
What color. ma'am?" said the soft
footed. yellow skinned man who
waited on her. He was not n Japa-
