What a shame you can't go west

ping iced tea and tanning herself with
a souvenir fan.
Helen, who was sitting with lap
full of lingerie, looked up laughingly.
"Yes, 1t seems as If we have hardly
used the car at all; but then, 1t would
be frightfully expensive" :,
Not so very. Your shoes are all

Mrs. Stevens smiled in that superior
manner that was slightly aggravating
at times, and at that moment the bell
rang and Mary ushered in another
visitor.
Hello. Helen" said a gay, sweet
voice. 'I ran up in all this heat to
say good-by."
Frances Sells Story and Is
Enthusiastic
Helen welcomed the arrival gladly,
a little relieved that an interruption
had arrived so opportunely.
That was dear of you, Frances.
How sweet you look, dear. Have you
met Mrs. Stevens?"
Helen made the Introduction and
Frances responded nonchalantly.
Il am going away myself Saturday, -
she said, devoting herself assiduously
to Helen. And l have the loveiest

1t was impossible not to enthuse
with Frances. Even Mrs. Stevens,
who had been inclined to disapprove,
relented and smiled at her radiant
face

S733 Child's Dress, q to 6 years.

Undoubtedly the embroidered frock ia
the fashionable one just now. Here is a
model that is perfectly adapted to that
treatment and which, at the same time,
can be made palmer and finished simply
with hem or an undertaking. 1t is .
very charming little dress, essentially
childlike in its lines and in it's features and
absolutely simple to make. The sleeves
and the main portion are cut in one, so
there is no fitting and there are very few
seams. The fulness is drawn UP at the
neck edge by means of gathers attached
to band and this band can be finished
with or without rolled-over collar. The
opening i made at the front and the
edges meet over an undertaking. All
simple child-like materials that are thin
enough to be made full are appropriate.
In the illustration, white handkerchief
lawn is embroidered with rose color. If
liked smoking can be used in place of
gathers.

MERELY TWO HATPINS.

One OF the novel ideas OF the present Is the
hat, toque trimmed with hatpinsI This seems
rather strange statement but 1t contains the germs
OF an important fact. The most attractive hats have
seen this spring have been trimmed with hatpins and
nothing else But what exquisite hatpinsl And how
originall
There is for example, pair of miniature fans, half
open, made OF fine black straw and embroidered in Jap
style, with very small porcelain beads. These
little fans mounted on gun metal pins and thrust
through the domed Of perfectly plain dark blue

Saturday, Aug. 21, has been
fixed by Governor Lister as
"made-in. Washington day." in
pursuance of his annual custom
to set aside one day of the year
and dedicate it to the develop
ment of the industries Of the
state. The proclamation of the
governor says:
II earnestly recommend that
the citizens of the state of Wash
ington, in making their pur-
chases, give special preference
on this day to articles manufac-
tured in this state, wherever
such articles are equal in price
and quality to articles manufac-
tured outside the state and offer
ed in competition, and also urge
that a similar plan be followed
throughout the year, to the end
that Washington manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers may
have every possible assistance in
maintaing and increasing their
investments and their volume OF
business, thus materially adding
to the development and progress
of the state of Washington"

Mayor R. J. Townsend has re-
ceived word from ]. H. Mason of
Portland that the block east of
the Sax, place south of the fish
hatchery, desired for city park,
may be had for park purposes
for $7OO. This is considered a
low price for this land, and it is
likely that some effort will be
made to secure it for a city park
and swimming pool. Many offers
of donation toward such an en-
terprise have been made, and it
is suggested that a roll of honor
be established-a park roll. list
ing the donors, that people may
always know who made the park
and swimming pool possible.
