Old Mr., Toad Watches Gran
ny Fox.

When little Mrs Peter called Old Mr..
Toad to one side out of hearing Of Pc
ter Rabbit and told him how Old
Granny Fox had been hanging around
the Old Brier Patch nearly all day, and
how she was sure that Granny was
doing it because she had heard that
Peter was sick and hoped to catch him
out after bit of sweet clover. Mr.. Toad
listened and nodded his head. as II he
quite agreed with her. But when she
told him about the young Meadow
Mouse which Granny had caught and
left at the entrance to one Of Peters
private little paths he gave Mrs. Peter
funny, sidewise look.
Huh" he grunted. Huh! ! never
have known old Granny Fox to do any
thing like that. 1t must be she has
done it for a purpose. / think l will

"Of course it's for something. ANY
one with any wits at all would know
that. and that something is to try to
catch Peter" replied Mrs Peter, and
her voice sounded rather snappy.
You see, she was worried. She knows
lust how sharp and cunning old Granny
Fox is, and in her own mind there
wasn't a doubt that this was part of
some clever plan on the part of Granny
to catch Petcr.-~For the life of her she
couldn' t see Through 1t herself and she
was disappointed because Old Mr.. Toad
didn't seem to have any better idea

Old Mr. Toad took no notice of the
sharpness in little Mrs. Peters answer.

He had come to watch old Granny Fox

LINEN POPULAR FOR STREET WEAR
BY ANNE R1TTENHousE.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
NEW YORK, June 2S.-If 1t were not
for the expense of laundry work, the
American women would see to 1t,
proba bly,. that their summer wardrobes
were outfltted with an abundance of
clothes made of comfortab BILE fabrics.
Every woman here knows that our
climate is like what Thackeray once
by billiards. of heat; and of the lat
ter, we will have many during the
next three months. We are not in
doubt. therefore, about the climate
that we must face on this continent
from Alaska to Key West. for sum-
mer in the former country allows its
thermometer to register well into the
nineties. while there are days in the
Maine mountains when the temperature
goes to 95, and there is constant stew
ing in the middle regions. with the
thermometer over SIS for weeks at
time.
To be comfortable, one must be cool.
and to be cool one must wear light
fabrics. So much for the knowledge
that we have gained through success
sive generations living In America.
But there are other things that have
to be balanced against this knowledge.
one of which is the money 1t takes to
dress according to the summer climate.
Revival of Linen.
It has often been asked why the men
north of Mason and Dixon's line do not
adopt the linen costumes that were the
uniform of the old planters of the
south and which are still worn by the
mon in Cuba. We have days piled on
end that are quite as hot as anything
Havana produces, and yet our men wear
worsted clothes and our women go
about in serge suits while it lasts
The answer is simple. Linen costs too
much for men to wear as a daily uni
form. and 1t is almost too costly for
woman who lives within a simple in
come This is the reason that governs
the d sadence of linen and fine muslins
and aI,ows the use of dark silks and
pongees as substitutes.
Every one knows that a linen shirt
waist willis like flower after a rev
hours of usage and that if it is put un
der packet 1t is a hopeless mass of
wrinkles when the packet is removed.
This fact has made all economical wom
en- careful about using linen for white
shirt waists, and the same is true of
coats and skirts of that fabric, espe-
cially skirts.
There are linens that have been placed
on the market without dressing, and
they sleeveless tendency to wrinkle
than the glazed weave: but there are
none that do not carry the possibility
of instant wrinkling.
Is 1T, therefore, sign Of prosperity

NO NEED FOR BONDS

funds of disbursing officers-in the gen
eral fund of the United States Treas
ury at the close of the fiscal year. June
80. ofhcials of the Treasury Depart
ment believe the Treasury can, with
the prospective revenues of the next
fiscal year estimated under the present
revenue laws, take care of all ordi-
nary expenditures and also of the ex-
traordinary expenditures for prepared
ness. rural credits. good roads and flood
control for the entire fiscal year of 1917
without need of further revenue meas
ures. Moreover, the money in Uncle
Sans purse. it is believed, will take
care Of expenditures for war purposes
for months to come should the United
States come into armed conflict with
Mexico
Thought of bond issue is the most
remote prospect at this time. There is
not the slightest need of such expe-
diency to raise revenues to meet the
expenditures authorized or contemplat-
ed to be authorized by the present ses-
sion of Congress. But there is abso-
Lutte confidence that the market would
absorb per cent Panama bonds at this
time, and that the necessary price OF

out difficulty. This is indicated by the
fact that many banks have invested ir
postal savings bonds which pay less
than per cent, and that these bonds
are being converted in many instances
into Panama 3s.

that linen frocks and suits have been
revived in a lavish manner?
Dressmakers along 5th avenue are
producing linen clothes that are as ex-
pensive as serge or satin, with copper
colored surfaces that have a peculiar
vanished appearance. They are very
attractive indeed.
At the smart places one has to pay
SIS for an entirely plain suit made Of
this material, without even a lining to
coat or skirt-There are frecks that
are equally expensive, but the chief de-
light about summer clothes is that they
can be made in an admirable manner at
home. at small expense.
The gown which is shown in the
sketch is of copper-colored linen with
skirt that is fiat frant and back and
quite full at the sides. with lines of
small tucks going across in groups.
The tight-fittfng blouse is unusual in
that it has a broad. fiat panel across
the front. fastened up each edge with
small pearl buttons, The sleeves are
finished with flaring double cuffs Of
white embroidered linen. The collar is

COLORED CANDLES.

| There is great vogue for candle
light nowadays, and many hostesses
use colored candles in preference to
white ones. Not that the colored can
dies give a softer light than the white;
their light is the same. But the col
ored ones AT into the color scheme OF
the room in which they are used.
| The colore,l candles come in soft
and lovely green. in red, in yellow. In
old gold. in violet-a pale, soft shade
and in various combinations.
Black and white candles are. OF
course. a shade smarter than any otner
kind The vogue for black and white
! has had a remarkably long duration
| and seems as strong now as 1t was
wear ago Somebody explained this
vogue by saying that the war. with the
consequent shortage of dyes, made II
necessary to use black and white
things-and naturally we made Vlr-
tue of the necessity by empha sizing the
fad for black and white that we had
borrowed from Vienna. To get back to
black and white candles, they are made
in stripes. and they are made
with black designs painted on white
candles. They look well in candlesticks
Of any sort-white porcelain, black ana
white enamel, silver, brass or ma
hogany.
White candles look better than any
other sort in silver candlesticks In
| a bedroom, however, pink or blue Can-
dies may be used in silver sticks II the
color scheme of the room is pink or
blue.
Yellow or gold candles are perhaps
prettier than white ones in brass can
dlesticks.
| There are pretty candles painted in
colors Some, of white, are decorated
with blue swallows of different sizes
sprinkled over their surface. others
show tiny roses of pink and red with
green foliage.
| The woman who can use oil paints
| can easily paint candles with some sim
pie design, and so save the price OF
| the painted ones in the shops. Any
simple decoration is quite suitable for
candle establishment. Either some
little flower design or something geo
metrical is attractive.
A good way to make colored candles,
| as well as white ones. fit firmly into
the candle holders is to dip them into
boiling water and then, while they are
| soft from the heat, press them hrmiy
Into the candlesticks.
| On very hot days place candles of
any sort in the refrigerator to, keep
them from losing their upright posi-
| ton, and also to make them burn more
slowly and. therefore. last longer.

does not require them to wait until one
has wrOnged the other. But when they

know that their real union is ended
they may secure divorce for the ask
