OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN
THEIR MARRIED LIFE"
Copyright By International News Service

''I wish we weren't soing," said
Warren disagreeably. Il can't for
the life of me see why you will in
sist upon accepting invitations in
weather like this"
But, dear, you said just last night
that you thought we ought to accept.
That's news to me-" said Warren
But you did say so, Warren, and
If any one minds the heat you know
I do"
"I should say I do know it. 1 re-
member the last time we went up
town for dinner and you nearly died
on the train"
And 1 said that I wouldn't go out
to dinner again this year." Helen re-
turned, laughing.
Then why did you accept the in
vitation for to-night?'
We'll Grace is alone this summer,
and she wanted us to come so bad.
And you know you said you liked
her"
"I do like her, but getting grilled
in the subway because q man likes a
woman is an entirely different thing"
We'll Well have TO make the best
of it. Wear your light suit"
II won't wear that light suit to
Brooklyn, it wouldn't look right"
You'll be lots more comfortable" "
Helen suggested.
Warren went off to the bedroom
grumbling and Helen, who was dress
and tried to keep cool. The day
had been unusually muggy, and they
had promised to go over to Brooklyn
to dinner. Grace Matthews, a friend
of Helen, was stopping in the city for
the summer and was boarding in
Brooklyn.
After Helen had entertained her
of ho in al ct or
upon Helen's bringing Warren over
to dinner. Helen had hesitated. War
rem hated to go to places in the sum-
mer time, but Grace had insisted and
Warren had proved quite interested
at first. Then when the weather con-
tinued hot and the time approached,
he had repented of his bargain.
When Warren came back to the
room he was attired in the light suit.
I'm awfully glad you wore it, dear,
you'll be glad after we've started, and
I think it looks fine"
READY TO TURN BACK
We'll, get your hat and come on,
were in for it, and I'll make the best
of it."
By the time they had walked the
short block TO the subway, Helen
was uncomfortably warm, and when
they reached Brooklyn they found
that they had to walk some distance
before reaching the street mention
ed. Warren was fusslng and fuming
and Helen, who had been sweet and
tactful as long as she could, finally
lost her patience and said that if he
liked they would turn back. BY the
time they reached the house both were
hot and decidedly cross.
Grace Mathews, cool and sweet, op-
ened the door herself and a moment
later Helen and Warren found them
selves in large han, with high cell
ings and long silver mirrors They
left their hats and went into another
room with quaint frescoings and the
same high ceilings.
THE house is very old" said Grace.
81 told you it was an unusual place
I certainly consider myself lucky"
Are the rooms upstairs as attrac-
tive as these down here?" Helen
queried. Imagine entertaining in
place like this, Warren. Wouldn't it
be just fascinating?'
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-11

Its a great place. all right" agreed
Warren. "It certainly knocks the
conventional boarding place right in
the head"
ut does, in more ways than one.
Mr. Curtis" said Grace eagerly. "An
the bedrooms have the same high
ceilings, which makes them deliciously
cool. OF course, it's dark, but in
the summer one likes that, and l
should imagine that in the winter the
place could be made cosy with lights
and things like that"
"How is the food. dear?" asked
Helen.
simply great" Grace responded.
Helen hoped it would be as good as
her friend promised. She did want
Warren to be glad he had come and
to really enjoy everything, but she
had her doubts about clearinghouse
meal.
Gradually the people of the house
gathered in the large drawing room.
They were a nice, wholesome crowd
that Helen enjoyed meeting. Again
she could not help thinking what a
strange difference there was between
this clearinghouse and the kind she
had always read about, where there
was a continual smell of cabbage and
onions, and where the people were
Iudicrous types.
WARREN LIKES 1T
They all went into the big cool din
ingroom filled with small tables, an
other agreeable surprise. The man
on Helen's left was very entertain
ing, and by the time they had finished
a delicious course of creamed mush-
rooms and sweetbreads, Il dish that
Warren was extremely fond of, Helen
was sure that he was actually enjoy
ing himself So far as she was con-
he hox
She was cooler than she had been
at dinner in their own apartment for
the past week, and the food was ex-
traordinary.
when l told Miss Rathburn that 1
was having guests Tor dinner to-
night" Grace was saying, "she asked
me if 1 thought steak would be as
good as anything for the meat course.
Wasn't that nice?"
81 think a place like this should be
made an example Of" Warren said
quickly After all. it doesn't take
so much extra to keep a crowd of
people we'll fed and well housed; just
a little additional care and the old
clearinghouse bugbear could be dis
PEELED altogether"
That's true" remarked the man on
Helens left. when I tell people
about this place they all laugh and
say it sounds like u fairy tale, too
good to be true"
That's just it," Warren said.
People have grown to detest board
inghouses that are run as some are.
1t certainly is refreshing to come into
a place like this, which is run just
as attractiyely as a private home"
"All it takes is a woman with some
discrimination" Grace said. 1T
simply means a little trouble taken
in the first place, an efficient cook
in the kitchen, cheerful bedrooms and
a home atmosphere. In the end it
means twice as much money for the
investor"
"Ill recommend the place any
time" said Warren, laughing good
naturedly. And 1 hope you'll invite
us again very soon, Miss Mathews.
don't know when I've enjoyed a
meal so much"

DELIGHTFUL SUMMER HOME
OE KATE DOITGLAS WIGGIr

One of the many newspaper ac-
counts of the celebrated Dorcas Fair
gives the following charming descrip-
ton of Mrs. Kate Douglas Wiggins S
summer home, Quillcote, where the
fair is held:
"Tf you enter the hospitable looking
home by the side door you are at once
in Quillcote's seVen-doored sitting
room where its great fireplace with
the tea kettle in readiness for use at
one side and tho spinning wheel with
its suggestion of quiet industry at the
other sets one to thinking of the pleas
antness of a burning backlog when the
first sharp frosts of Fall have turned
the vista of green fields seen through
the doorway to one of brown stubble.
On the piano and on the low reading
table are masses of glowing red field
lilies.
Passing from the sitting room into
the adjoining blue parlor where all the
furnishings are in blue and white, the
Hover decorations consist of Easter
lilies and blue larkspur, while old rose
gladioli brighten the hall effectively.
A centerpiece of delicate coronilla or
French clover decks the table in the
dining room which is set with rare old
china and covers marked with place
cards for the Governor of Maine, the
Mayor of Portland, the president of
Bowdoin College, which gave Mrs.
Wiggin an honorary degree of master
of arts, and the president of the Dor
cas- Society. This is Mrs. Wiggin's S
little joke, as nearly everybody knows,
but occasionally someone takes it seri-
ously, and a visitor who at one time
exclaimed, Look at who they're a
goin' to have for supper made the
simple hoax seem so real for a mo-
ment that Mrs. Wigginsclaims she was
paralyzed with fear at the recollec-
ton of how little the family larder
contained as tho result of the exten-
sive preparations which it had been
necessary to make for the fair

Whether one is a tennis enthusiast or a
lover of golf or delights in sailing or in
rowing, this costume will serve we'll. 1t
is as simple as it is smart and it is perfectly
adapted to its use. AS it is shown here,
the skirt is made of blue crepe linen and
the blouse is made of white handkerchief
linen shocked with blue. 1t makes a
very dainty effect and gives an attractive
costume, but there are numberless ma
terials that would be quite correct. The
tub silks are being much used for blouses,
either crepe de chine or striped tub silk
could be used for the blouse over a linen
or cotton gabardine or a pique skirt.
Glove silk is liked by some girls and could
be used. Both the linen and cotton fabrics
are offered in a variety of weaves and
weights so that almost every need can be
supplied. The skirt may be made in two
or in three pieces, with or without the
pockets that are arranged over the fronts
and belt.
For the 16 year size the blouse will
require, 3M yards of material SO inches
wide or 3 yards "A; for the skirt will be
needed, 3s4 yards 36 or A; it is 3 yards in
width at the lower edge.
Both the blouse pattern No. ssoo and
the skirt No. oI35 are cut in sizes for I6
and IS years. They will be mailed to any
address by the Fashion Department Of
this paper, on receipt of ten cents for each.

dence in the criminal court, where he
was a star witness against William

intent to murder and carrying a dead

Lewis and Edwards had an argu-
ment. Edwards procured revolver
and shot at Lewis One bullet struck
Lewis in the arm, but he merely
rlucked it out and threw it away. The
second bullet went through Lewis
mouth while he was smiling over the
failure of the first shot to do him in

loosen one of his teeth.
He spat the leaden pellet out and
was proceeding to use his fists on
Edwards when the pair were sepa-

one kind or another. It Is therefore
necessary not only that opportunities
be furnished for doing various kinds of
work, but that the first awkward at
tempts be appreciated IN a way that
will lead to further effort. And this
is just as true of attempts at singing
or nvention-invention of song or
story, for example-as it is of at
tempts at making some object or
drawing that others may handle or
exhibit.
While this doctrine of appreciation
does not permit us to belittle the
child's efforts, it still leaves us free
to help the child with criticisms cal
culated to enable him to increase his
work. But we should call attention to
such defects only as he is in posi-
ton to remedy himself, and without
too much effort. If the dolls dress is
too long, it's a simple matter to cut it
down. But if it's too short we note
that it's very nice dress, and think
Wen make the next one q little long
er. The repeated emphasis on defects
of design or execution may have the
effect of improving the childs taste or
judgment; but they are more likely to
discourage all effort.
A child that sees too clearly tho
shortcomings of his efforts will refuse
to do anything at all. This was the
case with four-year-old Herbert, whose
sense of form was so far ahead of his

papers announced his arrival in Paris,
declaring that he had been seen by
friends, and this lulled suspicion in
Switzerland.
Il returned to Zurich with a dis
guise for him, false beard, spectacles,
heavy shoes, ETC., and Gilbert took the
train, having bought a ticket for
Bienne. There we walked some miles
toward Geneva, when an automobile
met us, which footed it's horn three
times. In a second we were inside
and, taking a side road to avoid the
high road, reached a little wood near
Geneva, where we received the latest
news about the direction police activ-
tiles were taking.
Crossing the Frontier.
1--WE decided to start next day, which
was Ascension day, which seemed ap-
propriate for an aviator The last
night was passed In a village near
Geneva and after some hours walking
next morning we saw the frontier, the
railroad and the road from Anne
masse to Bellegarde. This was the
point we had chosen for crossing the
line.
1.-The actual crossing proved easy.
The Swiss gard happened to be some
yards away and Gilbert took to his
legs and got into France before the
guard reached him."
The French guard, however, chal-
lenged him, and the only papers" Gil
bert could show were his Legion of
Honor cross, his military medal and
his war cross. When he gave his name,
the brave guard accepted these deco
ratiOns as proof of identity and tele-
phoned his superior officers, who
brought an automobile for Gilberts
use. -
A triumphant welcome met him at
Lyons, where he was able to borrow
an aviator officers uniform. A still
more enthusiastic welcome awaited
him at Paris, where the minister of
war congratulated him and gave him
permission so that he can take
short rest before reSuming his place
at the front Gilbert needs some rest,
as, in addition to his irksome life as
prisoner, he had to thin himself down
considerably in order to be sure of
passing down the ventilation shaft.

fort thus receiving its due share Oh
attention and appreciation. Where
there are several children it should
be possible to provide large paper en-
velopes and boxes in which these early
treasures may be kept.
Every mother knows that young
children can be a nuisance and in the
way just when they are trying to help
with some work" The number or
peas that the baby can shell or the
area that the child can sweep Will
contribute little to tightening the day S
work. But the value of the contribu-
ton is not to be measured thus. 1T
Is to be measured in good will, in ap-
plication and in the satisfaction that
comes-or should come-from having
made a worthy effort at doing some
thing useful. We should therefore
not beIittle the achievement or make
the child feel that his assistance is
worthless.
The child works an the spirit OF the
artist. He is not seeking material re-
wards: he wants the satisfaction of
doing something that has meaning and
he wants appreciation. Without these
he will become either shirker, shun-
cing all effort or a perfunctory
grind, iaborin1 rsesr compulsion Of
