were a little bit tired.

that is pretty hard, Of urs
"'Really,' they said, Mr.. Sun is
working too hard. We wish he would

"'Well, said the Queen of the Water

Fairies.
"'Perhaps we can get Mr.. West Wind

"'That's a wonderful idea said the

"As the Clouds were passing they
heard the Water Fairies and saw the

They hurried along to the Eastern
Sky. And as they passed Mr.. Sun they
barely stopped to speak to him. In
fact they almost covered him up.

SKIRT and BLOUSE
SMART GARMENTS FOR AFTER.
NOON BRIDGE PARTY.
Also Well Fitted for the Street-Side
Flare Feature Of s~klrt-Bodice Of
Plain and Embroid-
cred Net.

For at an informal afternoon
bridge or tea a dressy silk skirt and
smart blouse of lace or net is liked by
the average woman With a smart
lightweight topcoat, a woman so
gowned is properly QUILTED for the
street, and she may go directly from
a mornings shopping and luncheon
downtown to her informal social func-
ton and be perfectly comfortable and
happy.
The sketch illustrates an exception
ally smart skirt, employing satin for
its makeup, with hand embroidery in
self color as the only trimming touch.
This skirt features the side flare,
which is commended in fall skirts, the
rather low flaring drapery giving a
graceful hip line. For this skirt, which
measures at the bottom three yards,
5h yards of satin, SO inches wide, will
be required.
The skirt is, of course, unlined.
Lightness of weight is a characteristic
of all present-day apparel.
The bodice is of plain and embroid-
cred net. The sleeves, as will be noted,
are of embroidered net with elbow

TRADITIONS OF DOG DAYS"
Superstition Concerning These Has
Been Generally Prevalent Through
out the Centuries.

The "dog days." when excessive heat
is supposed to prevail, begin July 3, ac-
cording to the ancient reckoning, and
continue to August IL. All sorts of
traditions and superstiuons are con-
nected with this period, and various
dates are also given.
In some sections the dog days" are
said to begin on July "a and to end
ON August "a, while stil others at
tribute the malevolent influence of the
dog star upon the earth to the period
from August 4 to September 4, in ac-
cordance with the ancient Egyptian
reckoning. AS a matter of fact, the
rising Of the dog star, Wants MaJoris
or Sirius, has nothing to do with the
affair at all. The rising of that star
has been SO accelerated by the pro-
cession of the equinoxes during the
passage of more than 1000 years that
the corresponding conditions for the
ancient dog days no longer exist.

Sweater Remains in Vogue.

It seems from present indications
that women are to go through the win
ter in a sweater, just as they have
gone so CARRIED through the summer.
OF course, it is quite improbable that
they shall wear their sweaters, and
their attendant sport accessories, to
winter teas and matinees, as they have
worn them to summer garden parties
and morning concerts. But, neverthe-
less, women shall all count to their
credit as many sweaters as they can
afford, fortified by the knowledge that
they shall be able to wear them all
~threadbare before spring.
Quite naturally, the sweater will be
most worn for outdoor sports. And
that skating is to be the chief of out
door sports seems quite probable.
Skating by 10 means outlived Its APP
peal to fashion last winter.
SO 1t Is quite likely that we shall see
some charming skating costumes con
sisting of sweater, with, perhaps, vel
veteen cap and skirt to match. One
such costume already designed shows
a heavy bright blue knitted sweater.

charming. They are often trimmed
with satin In selftone; q band at the
foot of the skirt, lightly faced with
some resilient s%tiffening to give the
soft skirt a little fare and with collar,
cuffs and groups of tiny satin buttons.
Have you noticed how many of the
e wcoats and tailor-mades are trimmed
with stitching-rows and rows of
stitching in straight lines and all sorts
of convolutions In curves and geome-
trlcal figures? White stitching on
black, or black on white, is accorded
favor. The stitching Is done with silk,
so that 1t shows up handsomely in lus-
trous lines on a fabric of wool, silk or
mohair weave, Even on linen tail
leurs the stitching is done with silk
thread to insure the desirable rich
ness and br~illiancy of effect.

Boat Shaped Veil.

The new boat-shaped veil is at its
best when draped owe a rather small
hat, also elongated in shape. The veil
is thrown owe the hat so that the point
in front falls well below the bust and
the sides and back of the veil drape
over the sides and back of the hat.
These wells are made of fine hexagonal
mesh with scattered designs in dots
and hand-run sprays or vines. A ia
vorite style in the boat-shaped veil is
in black mesh, very fine, with black
velvet stars all around the edge as a
border, and a w~ell-scattered diamond
shaped device in chenille dots, dis
closing a delicate flower spray.

Health and Good Looks.

In the very fit of the nightgown
health and looks are concerned, all au-
thorities agreeing that the sleeping gar
ment must be loose so that the flesh
may be Tapped with the air it needs.
They say, in fact, that even a close
fibered material is bad for the night
dress, while the tight neck and wrist
bands are the height of folly, as in
sleep it is of supreme Importance that
the skin of the body should have the
chance to breathe that the clothes
have denied it all day.

To the door of every generation
there comes a knocking and unless the
household, like the Thane of Cawdor
and his wife, have been doing some
deed without a name, they need not
shudder. 1t turns out at worst TO be a
poor relation who wishes to come in
out of the cold. The porter always
gTumbles and is slow to open. "Who's
there, in the name of Beelzebub? 2" he
mutters. Not a change for a better
in our human housekeeping has ever
taken place that wise and good men
have not opposed it-have not prophe-
sled with the alderman that the world
wake up and find its throat cut in con-
sequence of 1t. The world, on the con-
trary, wakes up, rubs it's eyes, yawns,
stretches itself, and goes about its bust
ness as If nothing had happened

SOME QUEER OLD "REMEDIES"
Humorous as They Appear to us,
They Were Devoutly Believed In
by the Romans.

The Greek physicians in Rome prac-
tIced one kind of medicine and the
Romans themselves-that is, the ma
jority of them-practiced their own
folk medicine which, according to a
writer in. the Druggists Circular, was
q combination of some specific applied
or taken with a little magic-what
George Eliot called "the medicine Civ
en- with a blessing" For instance, the
roasted liver of a goat was supposed
to be good for failing eyesight, the pa
tient holding his head in such n posi-
ton that the steam flowed around his
eyes. And when mixed with honey,
the same organ was supposed to be a
fine remedy for dropsy; mixed with
bran, it was supposed to cure dysen-
terry. The sufferer from govt was adj
vised to follow an elaborate treatment.
First, he was supposed to kill a field
mouse according to Il prescribed meth
cd and to extract from it a tooth. The
tooth was then stitched to the skin Of
a freshly slain lion, and if the govt
was in the left hand, the skin and
tooth were bound to the left leg, and
the pain was supposed to cease. An
other cure for govt was to bind to the
afflicted member the first hair cut
from an infants head.
The bite of a dog was supposed to
be cured by application of a mixture
of stale axle grease and horehound.
Scrofula was treated by the following
method: Trace a circle around O
ounce root, pull it with the left hand,
state for what and for whom, pull and
wear as a charm" And for %scrofulous
sores the following treatment was re-
sorted to: Bite off a knot from n fig
tree without being seen by anyone,
then wear it in a leather bag suspend
ed on a string about the neck" A
treatment supposed to prevent mala-
dies of the eyes for q year consisted
of p%lucking the calyx of blossom of
pOmegranate with the thumb and fourth
finger, rubbing it OF the eyes and swal.
lowing it without touching the teeth
Crocodile hearts wrapped in black
wool and worn on the person were
supposed to ward off attacks of quar-.
tian fever, and two bugs wrapped in q
piece of stolen wool were recommend
ed as a charm against night fever
Tongue grass, if beaten with axle
grease and rubbed on by three persons
of three nations, was supposed to cure
tumors. Epilepsy was treated by Civ
ing the patient meat from a wild beast
killed with a weapon that had slair
u man.

puff of plain net, and the high-back
collar is also of plain net. This bodice
has n of the fiat, plastron fronts,
which are considerably approved and
becoming to q rather slender figure.
The seasons waists have a decided
tendency to conceal their fastening,
wherever this is possible, and in the
waist shown, while the underneath
lining of thin net or silk fastens
frankly in the center front, the waist
proper has an underarm and shoulder
closing effected by snap fasteners.
To make this blouse, ~ yards of
embroidered net and a half yard of
plain net will be required. The
sleeves are, of course; unlined, and
for the bodice lining one yerd of net
or silk SO inches wide will be re-
Quired.
Blouses In colors to match the suits
with which they are worn are to be
extremely fashionable this fall and
winter, but waists in pastel shades
continue popular also. Gray, pale
blue, maize, wistaria, ETC., in sheer
crepes, crepe de chine and like ma
terial are popular.
Frilled blouses will also continue
to be fashionable through the coming
season. These front or side frills are
so graceful and so generally becoming
that women refuse to allow their fash
ion to wane.

Rain, Rain, Come Again"

from the East, Mr.. Sun decided he
might just as well take a rest.
"'No one wants me for a little while
said Mr.. Sun. I'll have a short Nap
in hat nice dark Cloud Bed which
puts m to sleep so quickly
Down on the Earth, the People
were saying: How quickly the Sun
covered up by a great, dark Cloud
"And then the King of Clouds came
forth wearing his purple-black robe.
"'Where are my fine Raindrops?'
he asked. And l want some of my
nice big Raindrops too
"'Here we all are said the little
Raindrops. we are sleeping in the
Cloud Beds you give us
"'Tumble, tumble said the King of
the Clouds as he pulled the little Rain
drops out of their Cloud Beds.
"And down on the Water they pat
tered and fell.
"'Oh how cool they are said the
Water Fairies.
"'How delicious!' said the Queen
of the Water Fairies.
"The Fairies Swan around and
chatted with the Raindrops as they
came down on the Water which had
been growing very warm owing to Mr..
Sun.
'The Water Fairies and the Queen
felt so happy and cool that as they
Swan around they almost went asleep.
They closed their eyes so the Rain
drops would not fall into them, and
they just listened to their chatter and
their patter and their splatter. OF
course, they would talk, too, and say
how happy they were, and when they
did, the little Raindrops would run in
their mouths and give them cool
Drinks.
But so fresh and cool did they
feel, and so happy that they wanted to
go to sleep and have wonderful
Dreams, too, of cool, cool rain.
$50 to sleep said some little
voices.
"They looked about them and saw
that the East Breezes were whisper,
ing TO them.
"'Who will look after usY they
asked.
AZ WILL said the King of the
Clouds.

orinin of the slnn G

The origin of the sign c as used in
q%uadrupIe or common time may be
briefly explained. Formerly triple
time was indicated by a complete cir
Gle, and was known as Perfect time.
To distinguish 1t from this, common
time or imperfect time, as it was then
called, was indicated by a semicircle,
and this sign has developed into the
O now frequently used,
Sometimes the G has a line drawn
through 1t, in which case il Implies
two beats in a bar, each of the value Of
a minim, and has but one accent. Oc-
casionally the same sign is used to ex-
press four minims In a bar. Time Of
this character is called ALA Brew
tfme-reckoned or measured by the
breye, or Tempo a Capella Qtalian-
Chapel ume), this latter referring to
its true use In church music.
