brought Janet a large envelope from Phil. Enclosed was her letter-torn open. With the letter was a note: Your cable came the instant after your letter. On my honor I return your 1etter-unread."
 Then Janet went away for rest to her aunt's in another part of the state.
 The next Japan steamer brought Phil. Unexpectedly his promotion had come. On moments notice he was granted leave to go home-to marry The telegram he sent Janet from San Francisco of course didn't reach her. But his mother met him at the depot. Her expression and tone dsd not re- spond to the joy of his announcement that he had come home to marry Janet Char1eton.
 "I do not know how you and Janet have patched it ur." said Mrs. Romer. "but feel you must know our points of view of her conduct this summer ''
 On their walk home she told him the story of Janet and Ernst.
 Phil went to Janet's mother and con- fronted her with the story Sadly she confirmed it, saying: "Janet is so headstrong."
 The return steamer to the Orient bore Phil.
 The telegram he sent Janet the day he sailed, read:

HARMONY
 IN DRESS
BY EDNA EGAN.

TNVI OLOR is the life of the dress,
 just as it is the beauty of the lA flower There is nothing which
 is so important to a woman as the coloring which goes into her gowns. A little false color or an over emphasis of color may kill not only her dress, but her whole charm.
 It is really the color in woman's dress which interprets the woman her self. Life is vibration and color is vii bratfon If the vibrations in our cloth ing are harmonious with us we are happy.
 I have heard women say, "I never feel comfortable in such and such, a dress" And I have heard them say, "I never put on this dress without feel ing gay and light-hearted.'
 The reason for this probably is that the unhappy" dress has clashing col ors or colors which do not harmonize with the woman's personality, while in the second case we have dress, no doubt, whose coloring is perfectly harmonious with itself and with the spirit of it's wearer.
 think the gift of color understand ing is the most wonderful that the great source of all things can give us. We know that a painting that is the soul of beauty can be utterly spoiled and be made only an ugly daub by retouching' here and there with different colors.
 We have all seen how some wonder full landscapes set out as the creator intended it has been utterly spoiled by some glaring monstrosity designed by man. If this is so of paintings and nature, how much more is it so o% womani
 I am prompted to write of the ini- portance of color because the colors of this summer are in the majority of dresses more glowing, brilliant, many hued than ever. There will be extraor- dinary combinations.
 have in mind a dress which looked at itself seems to be utterly inhar- monious and almost shocking in it's coloring. But this same dress on tall slender woman with black hair and an olive skin immediately re- solves itself into most wonderful har- mony.
 The dress and the woman interpret and blend into each other exquisitely. And this, to my mind, is a perfect dress.
 Of course, one can never go wrong with the pastel shades, nor with sim pie whites and blues. Every woman however, craves for these gorgeous as sembling of hues. Every woman, at least now and then, envies the butter fly. It is to these that I preach eau ton this season.

THE PORCH

ff=f]5 ITH the warm days the thoughts kAY of the housewife turn to her
 A& piazza and the question of
 making it attractive during the summer For whether it is large or small, a goodly portion of the day is spent upon it, and it must combine comfort with utility fand beauty. All three of these qualities may be claimed for the new porch rugs that are made in squares, like tiling. There are pale gray and white ones that suggest quaint old villas in Italy, red and white ones and g real Dutch blue and white that is especially effective.
 Inese rugs may be wiped up with damp cloth and thus kept clean, and are, by the way, quite as effective in the house as on the porch.
 Of course, for furniture nothing will do but wicker, or it's less expensive but equally good looking cousin. will low. New chairs for the porch are shown with broad table-like handles to set a cup of tea on, or with deep bas- kets to hold ones fancy work, while low, comfortable wicker benches and tables are inexpensive and artistic, as are the lamps with their shades of wicker lined with silk

Self-Freezing Ice Cream.

Articles needed for the purpose: large wooden bucket-the kind candy is shipped in will do-a wooden paddle with long handle, which you can make yourself, and a can of the same shape and material as that of real freezer. but the lid, which must be deep and tight fitting, should have a broad han ale extending across it, which is con yenient to hold the can with while turning and shaking it in fast motion during the process of freezing. Have this made for the purpose at tinshop Prepare the custard for the cream in the ordinary way, adding milk or cream, sugar and flavor for the desired quantity When cooling the custard, do not allow it to stand in a tin vessel, as there would be danger of poisoning from the tin. When mixed and cooled, put the mixture in the caI place in the wooden bucket, after first packing a layer of crushed ice and t-in bottom of bucket. Then pack hard layer of salt and one of crushed ice, alternately until near the top of can.
 Before placing on the lid stir the cream constantly for five minutes. Then place the lid on and cover with the ice and salt. Set in cool place. Cover the entire bucket with several folds of blanket or carpet. Leave for an hour, then careIully remove l1Q that no salt will drop in, and dis1odge with the paddle all of the frozen cream about the bottom and sides of can. Stir and shake tho cream until it is like thick 1ather.9 YThe longer you beat the cream at this juncture the smoother will the cream be- Now repack with the ice and salt, and cover all with the carpet In three or four hours you should have a can of delicious ice cream. J
 SmOthered Cod Cheeks.
 Use one pound cod cheeks and one pound onions. Peel and slice onions put layer in buttered pan, then the cod cheeks, which have been washed; half a teaspoon salt and rest of onions Cover close and bake in moderate even : two hours.
 Strawberry-Pineap Ice.
 Boil one and one-half pints of water with one and one-half cupfuls of sugar for twelve minutes, or until it becomes a rich syrup.

BEAUTY VALUE
 OF SLEEP
BY ycILLE DAUDEr.


 "l LEEP Is not matter of con- IhNl venience, but a necessity It lA should be made a comfort and
 the sleeping room should be the most pleasing place to it's occu- pant of all places in the house. Far more time is spent in the sleeping room than in any other place during the course of twenty-four hours All most every healthy adult requires eight hours sleep, if the system is kept up to it's highest standards of health, and many require several hours more.
 The bedroom should be a place of rest, quiet, comfort, cheer, quiet in coloring and tone, soothing in its fit ness to the character of the occupant It should be conducive to repose, to happy thoughts as companions to the land of sleep.
 In choosing a sleeping room always try to have room which gets the morning sun. Awakening in a. room that is flooded with sunshine helps start the day right, drives away the blues, and gives a tone to the disposf- ton and body that a dark room does not give. Never sleep in a room that feels damp, because the sunshine never gets in to warm it up and drive out the demon germs which must Turk in the corners of such rooms.
 The ventilation of the bedroom should be carefully attended to. Dur ing sleep the body requires quantities of fresh air, but a draft is more dan gerous to one in sleep than during waking hours. The bed should be placed in such position that the sleeper will get the fresh air blowing in at the windows (which should be wide open winter and summer, being opened partly from the top and partly from the bottom to make the circula- ton better), but will not lie in a draft. Also the head of the bed should be so placed that the sunshine should not creep over the face of the sleeper to awaken her before she has finished sleep. One should awaken in room seeing the reflections of the sun rays upon the walls, but never with the rays on one. Such exposure to the rays ot the sun is dangerous to the eye nerves
 As to the covering lone should use the fewer and lighter the covers the more restful and beneficial the sleeI will be- Many people do not appre- ciate that if there are plenty of covers beneath one the overcoverlng does no' need to be so heavy. Just mattress and springs is not enough in winter to keep the cold out. Blankets should be placed over the mattress
 One of the first aids to beauty is enough undisturbed sleep in room filled with good fresh air The wo- man who follows this advice will never regret it. That is if she wishes to re main fresh looking.

BE FAIR TO
 MEN IN LOUE
.BY ANNETTE ANGERT.

BY ANNETTE ANGERT. @ ROM Japan bound steamer a
 serious faced youth waved
 heart on the San Francisco wharf
 "only two years" he called down to her.
 It was Philip Romer. He had, just graduated high in his engineering class and been offered a position in Japan If successful, he was to be- come permanent construction engineer in two years at $8,000 a year. Then he would come home to marry Janet Charlton.
 Janet, recently from convent board ing school, was proud of her big boy lover with the brilliant prospects. She watched him sail away, fearful, yet hopeful. As little as this girl of twen- ty-three knew of the world, her in-s stinet told her she could trust the word and the love of Phil Romer. In the little town where she lived she kept her engagement secret.
 A year after Phil had gone Val Fey ton came home from Harvard wfth a college chum, Ernst von SchloZer, who was summering in California. charm of the high bred foreigner. His mother, moreover, was heiress to a fortune, his father heir to another. and both were from long lines of aristo- cratic descent. Janet belonged 10 the same little set as the Peyton girls, and so saw much of Ernst von Schlozer.
 Janet and Ernst played and sang to- gether. Together they rambled in the starlight and the moonlight. In the spell of moon and mocking birds Janet heard Ernst tell of her wonderful eyes, heard him say how he wished always to be with her. Janet's letters to Phil grew short and general in those two summer months.
 One night when the scent of roses seemed intoxicating. Ernst caught her hand and kissed it. Some tone in her soft answering laugh drew his face nearer to hers. Impulsively her fingers closed over his. He kissed her lips twice and said: q love you
 A wonderful bunch of Jacquem1not roses came from Ernst the day she wrote her regular weekly letter to Phil. But this time she told him she loved another man who loved her, and asked him to release her from their en- gagement For a heavenly space Janet and Ernst were daily together, walk ing and riding through the avenues of the little town and the lovely country round.
 The second week Ernst's mother came from the east. He seemed troubled. Then Janet saw 1lLr4e or him. After several days he came to her sadly. His mother, he said, was going to Hawaii and insisted on his company. He preferred California and her, but he must yield to his mother. He kissed her hand and went away re- gretfully. He sent her a lavish arm full of roses, and as his steamer sailed, a picture post card, "in memory ot a happy summer. gN
 That was all
 The truth was that Mother von SchIozer, who controlled two fortunes, objected to her sons "entanglement with an unknown American girl"
 Janet calculated that her letter to Phil was due the day after Ernst left. Immediately she cabled him.
 Return letter due today unopened. "
 Then she wrote her usual weekly letter, explaining away the cab1ed re- quest. The next Japan steamer

To care for the elbows properly daily bath with the brush and plenty of good Soap, followed by brisk rubbing with a crash towel, is required. After the elbow is we'll dried, massage it with some emollient, taking pieces of cotton and wiping away the oil at different times in order to remove the dirt which oozes out of the skin as the amollient clears the pores.

W SKED what was the best sum A#l mer drink, famous physician N replied: "ButtermiIk, and 1t
 is also the best winter drink, the best drink all the year round" Noted European scientists have come to the same conclusion as American physicians, after some years of tests, and it is now declared that a minimum of one quart of buttermilk day will add from ten to twenty years to a mans life. In fact. buttermilk as a remedial agent cannot be praised too highly. The tactic acid, the sour of the buttermilk, attacks and dissolves every sort of earthly deposits in the blood vessels Thus it keeps the veins and arteries so supple and free-running that there can be no clogging up; hence no deposits of irritating calcarc- ous matter around the joints, nor of poisonous waste in the muscles. It is the stiffenfng and narrowing of the blood vessels which brings on senile decay. Inasmuch as gouty difficulties usually arise from sluggish excretton, buttermilk is blessing to all gouty subjects. It gently stimulates all the excretories-liver, skin and kidneys. It also tones the stomach and fur nishes it with the material from which to make rich. read. healt&E hlnnd-

 El HE summer cold is a nuisance.
 and one which it is sometimes S hard to get rid of in the usual way. Whenever you contract a summer cold, before resorting to drugs try this process: If able, go out in the open air, breathe copiOusly and deeply and slowly for about twen- ty times, repeating the operation every hour until cured If unable to go cut, wrap yourself up in a blanket, eveu on the hottest kind of day, and then open all the doors and windows and then do just as directed above. Some persons, having had summer cold for six weeks, have got rid of it by this process and colds newly contracted have also been cured in this way. Therefore, everywhere try and culti- vate full and frequent lung imitation by breathing clear out, clear in and low down-that Is, make all your breathing as when taking a long breath. This will have a tendency to throw off the waste material at the pores and revf- ta1ize the blood, thus imparting much wanted energy to the system,

STYLES IN
 COLFFuRE
BY MRS. McCUNE.

L. IF5Wl ECENTLY our heads have HS% been completely turned by l fashion. A Biblical critic
 usually rather caustic in his remarks about woman conceded her one glory--long hair. Fashion last year took a different view and abun- dant tresses proved a decided embar- rassment to many women in conse- Quence- For whatever poets and low .ers may say about long hair, there is very small consolation in the knowl- edge that your hair is luxuriant and thick, endowed, too, with a provoking tendency to curl and ripple on the smallest provocation, when the fashion demands indian straightnesS and sickness. ,forbids coils and switches, and insists upon smooth rotundity of head that suggests shiny reel of black silk that is hanked with "whis- kers" carefully gummed to resist the too boisteFous caresses of an errant wind
 But the new hats this year have altered all that. and. while a head purifanically severe consorted we'll with frocl cut on rigidly plain lines, the befrilled and bedowered garments of spring demand a heady frivolity to correspond, and woman, with the con sent of fashion, joyously agrees.
 Is
 So there is the "niniche,' coiffure. with the hair drawn softly. back from the forehead and piled high at the back, which is especially adapted to the Vatican hat, with it's, uncomforta- b1e habit of leaving the back of the head in the lurch, and is often conn pleted with a flower or bunch of rib bons. And if your fancy is attracted by a beIl-1ike hat, what more natural : than that it's downward progress should be arrested by soft eurls and puffs of hair carefully balanced over each ear?
 The question of the evening head dress is almost as wide and perpIex- ing as the hat problem. The. brow band" form of adornment still has a number of admirers. Recently it has taken to itself characteristics not u1- like those of the Russian national headdress and, jewelled or jetted, is equally becoming, Flowers, too, are used in the hair, revival the respon- sibilfty for which lies at the door of such nineteenth century froelks as are now in vogue.
