no one knew, appeared Mrs. Plunger.
and it soon became very clear that they
had decided to make their home in the
Green Forest. They made no secret
about it. They didn't seem to care
who knew where it was. Peter saw
them carrying sticks and once or twice
flying from the Big River with water
weeds. Peter knew what that meant.
1t meant that they were building a
nest. Right away Peters curiosity got
the best of him. He wanted to see
that nest. He wondered if it was like

THE SUMMER BED.

The summer bed must look, as well
as feel cool and comfortable IL 1t is to
prove restful. 1t is not matter of
money, but rather one of care, to make
1t look inviting. Inexpensive spreads
may be used, but they must always be
clean and fresh. And as for the linen,
that. too, may be as cheap as need be
if it only is fresh.
The dimity bedspreads are easy to
take care Of Many laundries wash
and iron them at the rate of sheets,
and so it is no extravaganza to send
one from each bed each week to the
laundry. They are SO light in weight,
too. that they can easily be laundered
at home every week.
Some of the dimity bedspreads are
made with a border design of colored
stripes and others have an all-over
colored design, light in pattern. OF
course the color must be in keeping
with the general color scheme of the
room.
The problem of fresh-looking pillows
is always troublesome. Now that we
no longer use pillow shams we often
have difficulty in keeping the pillows
fresh-rather, in covering up the inevi-
table wrinkles Some housekeepers use
daytime pillowcases. envelope shape.

Be sure to have the sheets long
enough so that they can be turned

eight or ten inches. A bed made with
long sheets is twice as comfortable
and, on a hot night. twice as cool as
one made with short sheets For the

AS Peter said later, things happened
then just as if they We're in answer to
his thoughts. The big stranger was
just above the Smiling Pool and headed
straight toward the Big River. Just as
he got right over the middle of the
Smiling Pool he turned little circle in
the air seemed to hang there perfectly
still for a second. and then with his
wings closed he shot down, down, down
so fast that il quite took away Peters
breath just to watch him.
Peters first thought was of Jerry
Muskrat OF course, that must be who
this great stranger with the ugly great
claws was after. From his hiding place
he couldn't see the Smiling Pool, al
though 1t was so near. And so, of
course, he couldn't see Jerry Muskrat.
With all his heart he hoped that Jerry
saw his danger. and he listened for the
splash when Jerry dived into the water.
But there was no splash-that is. there
was no splash by Jerry. Down plunged
the stranger, and Peter watched for him
to spread those great wings and stop
himself. But he didn't do anything of
the kind. He kept right on down and
disappeared! Yes. sir that is just what
he did. And when he disappeared there
was splash enough. Oh, my. yes!
There was such a splash that Peter
could see the water fly higher than the
banks of the Smiling Pool
why! Why-e-e! Something must
have happened to him and he has fallen
into the Smiling Pool" gasped Peter,
staring round-eyed at the place where
the stronger had disappeared. AS he
stared there was another great splash

THE POPULARITY OF GEORGETTE CREPE.
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.
Al Correspondeuce of The Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, July 19.-The people
who invented Georgette crepe have
smoothed and perfected the process un-
til the fabric we handle today is so
closely akin to what is known as chiffon
cloth that few women know the differ
ence at first glance.
There still remains a weave OF this
silk crepe which has the pebble sur
face which was its distinguishing fea-
ture when it made its appearance on
the counters. Naturally, the smoother
the surface, the higher the price, and
the double width variety runs well
above the two-dollar mark for yard; ;
therefore. frocks of it are not reckoned
among the cheaper summer gowns.
The fastidious woman wants a satin
lining, but there is no reason against
wearing these frocks over slips OF
China silk or an admirable quality OF
muslin made into a rufhed petticoat
and ornamental corset cover.
One can use Georgette crepe as Tor
NAL gown to give the best afternoon
service, or a shirtwafst frock for the
morning, to be worn with or without
the tnevita BILE sweater.

COPHERS REVIVE BASEBALL
Buy Canvas and Grandstand From
Owners and Secure Lease on
Grounds From Council.

While the baseball fans of New Ulm
were despairing of ever seeing baseball
game in this city again the members of
the Gopher association were busy collect
ing money from business men and in
vested this with the surplus from last
year in the grandstands and canvas,
which they bought from those who had
bought the property at the sheriff's sale
a few weeks ago. They also secured the
lease on the grounds from the city coun-
Gil. The total expenditures amounted
to nearly one hundred dollars.
According to the present outlook, New
Ulm will have two teams this year.
Although both teams are made up of
young men of this city the Gophers have
had several years experience and most of
the players on the Gonzaga Club team
have also played with Some minor team
of the city, and the fans are sure to see a
good article of amateur base ball.
The present arrangement made be-
tween the two teams is that one team
will play here one Sunday and the other
team the next Sunday. On Decoration
Day the two teams will play together
and this game will no doubt be the first
of the season. According to this ar
rangement' there will be game in the
city every Sunday if weather permits.

COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN It
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's recipe,
and folks are again using it to keep their
hair good, even color, which is quite
sensible, as we are living in an age when
youthful appearance is of the greatest
advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the read y-to-use product,
improved by the addition of other ingred-
tents, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui phur
Compound" for about SO cents a bottle.
It is very popular because nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
moisten your comb or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair, tax
ing one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides
beautifully darkeuing the hair after a
few applications, it also produces that
soft lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive. This ready-to-use
preparation is delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youthful ap-
pearance. It is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
