HOT WEATHER RULES
To Keep a Horse Healthy and Happy
in Summer Time.
Load lightly, and drive slowly.

|. Load lightly, and drive slowly
9 Stop in the shade if possible
3. Water your horse as often as
possible. So long as horse is
working, water in small quantities
will not hurt him. But let him drink
only few swallows if he is going to
stand still Do not fail to water him
at night after he has eaten his hay.
4. When he comes in after work,
sponge Off the harness marks and
sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth,
and the dock. Wash his feet but not
his legs.
5. If the thermometer is - de-

with damp sponge. Use vinegar
water if possible DO not turn the
hose on him.
6. Saturday night, give bran
mash, lukewarm; and add a table
spoon of salpetre.
T. Do not use a horses hat unless
it is a canopy-top hat. The ordinary
bell.shaped hat does more harm than
good.
s. A sponge on top of the head,
or even a cloth, is good if kept wet.
If dry it is wrose than nothing.
3. If the horse is overcome by
heat get him into the shade, remove
harness and bride, wash out his

his legs, and give him two ounces of

ranged one above the other, and they
are secured together by four strong
wooden posts, fastened on at the sides
with screws.
A glance at the illustration will ex-
plain this, and the woodwork is then
practically complete.
To decorate the cabinet, brass balls,
similar to those used for the ends OF
bamboo curtain poles, are screwed
into the upper ends of the post. The
sides can either be painted or COW

cretonne. and the latter plan will per-

be stretched evenly across the sides
and fastened on at the top and under

A little curtain of soft silk can be
arranged in front of each compart-

tened in place just above each divi-
sion with ornamental braid and BRASS
headed nails. The interior of each
box should be lined with brown paper

One advantage of homemade coat

be cut to fit exactly the garment It

it too much or let it hang too loosely,
as is often the case with readymade

MADE FROM PARASOL
HANDSOME LAMP SHADE MAY BE
EASILY CONSTRUCTED.
Work for Amateur Interior Decorator
Will Be Found CongeniaI and Pleas
ant Occupation for the lei
sure Moment.

Have you child's discarded parasol
in the house? If so, bring it to light
and transform it into q handsome
lamp shade for electric light. The
very latest and most beautiful shades
are exactly this shape, and once the
handle is removed from the parasol
the rest is easy.
So take out the handle as carefully
as possible and then remove the COW
ering. The frame will probably look
perfectly hopeless to the amateur in
terror decorator, but she must get a
strong piece of cord and take it
around the edge of the frame. holding
down eacll rib firmly. In doing so she
should pull the cord rather tight be-
tween the ribs. so the shape becomes
more belled than formerly.
The next step is to rip away one OF
the sections of the covering and press
it we'll. especially along the seams.
This Is the pattern by which all the
nes sections are cut.
A soft, thin India silk makes the
best kind of covering for lamp shade
and the most satisfactory colors are
old rose. orange-brown and the yellow
toner.
When cutting the sections follow the
patterns exactly, but cut an inch or SO
longer at the wide end. Next haste
ca. h section carefully together and
stitch up on the machine. Place the
finished cover over the frame and Sc
cure at the top temporarily. Draw the
material down each rib and turn up
the snrplice to form hem Stitch the
hem and insert a narrow elastic. The
ct,ver is now complete. ready for the
frame.
Sew it at the top, and finish with a
covered button mold, pompon or
any small ornament at hand. With
very strong thread secure the cover to

the ribs and then with the fingers draw
the fullness away from the ribs to the
center. There will be little or mucn
fullness, according to the bell effect
given. This shade is very pretty as
it is, but the majority of the new
shades are decorated-that is, one may
show very simple arrangement, as a
band of small. round f1let lace dolly.
Another will be trimmed with frill
of the silk pinked on the edges under
lying another frill of blond lace, while
the cover itself will be decorated with
festoons of lace, chiffon, flowers or
what not.
The handsome shades are trimmed
with gold or dull silver laces in frills
depending from bands of tiny ribbon
or chiffon flowers. Anyway, there will
probably be plenty of odd bits in the
millinery box that will answer for
trimming once the shade is made. A
branch of apples fashioned from a
dried piece of brown twig as founda-
ton is a possibility. the apples made
from bits Of yellow or red satin and
the leaves from green. Cotton will be
used for stutfing the apples, wrapping
around short lengths Of tWig for stem
and flower end. A few stitches In
black silk at the flower end will help
to give natural effect.

There was but one vacant chair;
and as she saw Warrington nowhere.
Elsa assumed that this must be his
reservation. She was rather glad that
he would be beyond conversational
radius. She liked to talk to the
strange and lonely man, but she pre-
ferred to be alone with him when she
did so.
She began as of old to study care
lessly the faces Of the diners and to
speculate as to their characters and
occupations. Her negligent observa-
ton roved from the pompous captain
down to the dark picturesque face of
1.-THE man Craig. Upon him her glance,
a mixture of contempt and curiosity,
rested. II he behaved himself and
made no attempt to speak to her, she
was willing to declare truce. In Ran
COON the man had been drunk, but on
the Irrawaddy boat he had been sober
enough. Craig kept his eyes directed
upon his food and did not offer her
even furtive glance.
He was not in a happy state Of
mind. He had taken passage the last
moment to avoid meeting again the
one man he feared. For ten years this
man had been reckoned among the
lost. Many believed him dead. and
Craig had wished it rather than be-
lieved. And then, to meet him face to
face in that sordid boarding house had
shaken the cool nerve Of the gambler.
He was worried and bewildered He
had practically sent this man to ruin.
What would be the reprisal? He
reached for mangosteen and ate the
white pulpy contents, but without the
customary relish. The phrase kept
running through his head: What
would be the reprisal? For men OF his
| ilk never struck without expecting to
| be struck back. Something must be
done Should he seek him and boldly
ask what he intended to do? Certainly
he could not do much on board here,
except to denounce him to the officers
as a professional gambler. And Paul
| would scarcely do that since he, Craig,
had better shot in his gun. He could
/ tell who Paul was and what he had
done. Bodily harm was what he really
| feared
He had seen Elsa, but he had worked
out that problem easily. She was sure
! to say nothing SO long as he let her
be; and with the episode of the hat
pin still fresh in his memory, he as
suredly would keep his distance. He
| had made mistake. and was not like
I! ly to repeat it.
But Paul! He finished his dessert
and went off to the stuffy little smoke
room, and struggled with Burma

Russian influence has been marked
in clothes for several months and
some women have actually worn
Russian boots. Now they can be had
in some of the shops. One pair
shown recently in the window of a

suede and patent leather. The heels
are high and of French shape, and

sooner or later he would drop in. He
waited in vain for his man that night.
And so did Elsa She felt indignant
at one moment and hurt at another.
The mans attitude was inexplicable;
there was neither rhyme nor reason in
it. The very fact that she could not
understand made her wonder march
beside her even in her dreams that
night. She began to feel genuinely
sorry that he had appeared above her
horizon. Just before she retired she
leaned over the rail. watching the re-

Next day. at luncheon, the chair was
still vacant. Elsa became alarmed.
Perhaps he was ill., She made IN

Interpretation her concern might be
given by others. Mr.. Warrington had
had his meals served in his cabin, but

trained parrakeet.

lapis-lazuli in the shadow of the lazy
swells. Schools of fying-fsh broke
fan-wise in flashes of silver, and por-
poise sported alongside. And warmer
and warmer grew the air.
Starboard was rugged up for cricket,
and the ships officers and some of the
passengers played the game until the
first gong. Elsa grumbled to Martha.
There was little enough space to walk
in as it was without the men taking
over the whole side of the ship and
cheating her out of glorious sunset.
Martha grew troubled aud perplexed
