suit is days menus Of sensible. salts
flying sort.
Remember that too many iced drinks
and desserts are not good for any of us
and should be avoided. Water, really,
kept next to the ice in bottles or COW
cred jugs, and in this way 1t can be
kept very cold. But the ice should not
be chopped and put into 1t.
Ices and sherbets are less heating
than ice cream. which really requires
time and effort on the part of the
digestive organs for digestion. Ices
and sherbets containing nothing but
fruit juice, sugar, water and gelatine
or egg white are quickly and easily
digested.
The danger from frozen or highly
chilled foods is in a large measure
avoided If they are eaten slowly. For
1t is because they chill the stomach,
which should be warm to start diges-
ton, that they are unwholesome.

Hand painted shoes have now arrived
to accompany, in the sartorial procession
hand-painted hats. parasols, belts and
handbags. High boots of white glazed kid
or with white kid uppers carry sprays Of
flowers or other designs hand painted on
their snowy surface.
Without doubt. however, the vogue for
this particular item Of apparel is more
a fad than a fashion, and painted
shoes are by no means recommended for
general wear, or even suggested for oc-
casional use by the woman who must
count her dollars and cents-unless per-
chance she can paint the shoes herself.
Bought ready for use they are rather ex-
pensive.

ued run.
The choice Of material, height, and
general style design of any seasons shoes
are, as is well known, governed by wom-
ems garment styles Practically all the
materials now favored will be in vogue for
fall, and women's skirts will be sufficient
ly short to display their footwear about
as freely as is the case at present
Advance bulletins state that the smart
est shoes for fall will have side button
gaiter tops of cloth or leather. Tops
matching the costume with which the
shoes are worn will be smart, but the
white e-topped shoe that has been a ia
yorite for the past two seasons at least
will be equally fashionable. Tan vamps
with white uppers and patent leather
vamps with gray uppers Will also be
smart
The laced shoe will continue in favor,
and it will be shown In all feathers as
well as with cloth top. For wear with
the very short walking or sport skirt a
laced shoe is smartest, while for "dressi-
err wear the buttoned boot will usually
be found the best choice.
Cuban heels and Louis" heels will
probably be equally popular In the selec-
ton of footgear for the coming season.
Among the novelties are checked or
polka dotted uppers over vamps Of gun
metal or patent leather. Castors and
grays are dependable colors that will
blend well with practically all the fash
icnab BILE dress and suit shades Of fall, and
these will be strongly featured.
Ella borate designs in color combination
and decoration are to be favored in even
ing slippers. Satin slippers matching the
evening gown are decorated with rhine

Meadows.
And just because he couldn't have fish
Buster wanted fish more than anything
else in the world. People are that way
sometimes. So Buster persisted in wan
dering along the Laughing Brook, hop
ing that luck would turn. Fishermen,
you know. are great believers in luck,
and Buster is like the rest. That is why
he said that foolish little verse at the
beginning of this story. OF course. he
knew 1t was all foolishness to turn
around three times and to cross his
toes, and when he did these things he
looked around first to make sure that
no one would see him. And, of course,
his luck didn't change. You see. there
isn't any such thing as that kind of
luck. No matter what happens there is
cause. a reason for it. The reason
Buster Bear saw no fish that fine morn
ing was that there were no fish to see.
Ihey had all gone down to the Smiling
Pool because the water there was deep
er and cooler than in the Laughing
Brook. You see, the weather had been
SO hot for so long that the Laughing
Brook was growing smaller and small
er' and so the fish had moved down to
tne Smiling Pool for comfort and safety.
If Buster had used his common sense he
would have known this and given up
all thought of fish.
AT last he sat down in a little open
not far from where PIunger the Fish
Hawk had built his nest Buster sat
down to rest and cool off. He had not
been there long when he heard voices,
harsh, screaming voices. They came
from high up in the air Buster tipped
his head back and looked up. There he
saw Plunger the Fish Hawk and King
Eagle. and they were quarreling Plum

Plunger was high in the air, and If that
nsh was big enough for him to see it at
that distance it must be very, very
much bigger than any fish Buster had
ever caught in the Laughin~ Brook.
Buster could not keep his greedy little
eyes off it. He knew by what he saw
mat King Eagle was trying to make
Plunger give up that fish.
Robber" grumbled Buster Bear,
quite forgetting that were he in King
Eagles place he would be doing the
same thing. ''Robber! hope Plunger
gets away from him" A sudden
fhought came to him: What if King
fish! Would King Eagle be able to
catch that fish before it reached the
ground? Decidedly this was a quarrel
worth watching. They were almost
the air. Plunger made a sudden swoop
that brought him still nearer the tree
tops, and at the same instant King Ea-
gle swooped with a scream so fierce
tnat 1t gave even Buster Bear a funny
feeling. And then, right then. some

who wants soup when the tempera-
ture scars to ninety degrees?
Even when soup is served on very

lamb or chicken broth is really dell

If you must have hot soup. have a
clear sort Cream soups and purees

the fish course on extremely hot days

wives who have prunes on hand, stew

All the fresh fruits are delicious at

The Band on the Hat.

The wearing of sport clothes from
morning to night has made the sailor
hat and other hats of simple sort
which need for trimming only band of
some sort. decidedly popular. Their
chief point of attraction to most of US
lies in the fact that they are as easily
trimmed as they are comfortable and
nerviceable. and SO, as we can trim
them ourselves. they are quite mex
pensive.
A band of some sort fs the only trim
ming these hats need. Sometimes the
mats themselves are regulation straw

made OF silk. sometimes of soft felt
sometimes of cotton fabric or some

One means of trimming tho sailor
shape is to tie about its crown a soft
scarf. fringed at each end. and knot
1t In a loose knot at the back. The
two ends hang over the edge of the

AS he said this Buster Bear sat and
stared into the Laughing Brook with
wrinkled brows. He had set out that
morning to get fish for breakfast. and
because he had set his heart on fish
nothing else would do. You know, Bus
ter Bear is sometimes what is called
pigheaded-that is. he starts to do a
thing, and no matter what happens he
persists in trying to do it. He had start
ed out for fish that morning. and fish
he would have or else go hungry. Now.
everybody knows that it is Of no use to
try to drink from an empty pail, and
every fisherman knows that 1t is of no
use to fish when the fish have gone
away from their favorite places. Buster
