Poems by Allingham

my mother brought from Balyshannon,

hood She would be glad TO have Maurice ID. Il.

love such poems he would not ask you IN
that way. The lines you quote are In IN my my book.
The Corner regrets that Maurice d. Els
address was not registered. His query did
not require an answer from the constitu-
sncy. and after the lines he asked for and
their history were given the address was
laid aside. In the hope that he may recog-
nize himself and be sufficiently interested
by the nattering attention his brief inquiry
has excited we publish a correspondence

Made of Roses

The last roses of summer may be made
into fragrant potpourri. For the rose or
potpourri jar: Gather the roses on
bright sunny day, at time when there
is no dew or moisture on them. You should
have to receive them Jar with double
lid, or rather two lids. an outside ana an
inner. Pack the rose petals in the jar In
two-inch layers, with a liberal sprinkling
Of salt between the layers. Each day add
fresh petals and salt You will find that
the leaves settle rapidly. When the jar
will hold no more, put 1t away in cool,
dark closet one that is quite free from
dampness After a few days empty the
leaves on a platter and pour over them a
mixture made of one-half tablespoonful oil
of rose geranium, two drops of glycerin
one tablespoonful of pure alcohol, one tea
spoonful each of ground cloves and ground
cinnamon, six drops each of oil of lavender
and oil of rosemary, one ounce of powdered
Tonka bean and two ounces of powdered
orris. This is for a medium-sized jar, say
six by five. Return the leaves to the jaI
and for a month open and stir every few
days. After that let the inner lid remain
on permanently.

Dear MLiss-How many times a year Is an
inspector supposed to visit the stores offices
where girls work to find out how many hours
day the girls work3 know some places where
girls work between ten and eleven hours a day,
and on Saturdays between sixteen and seven
teen hours day. The girls like their positions,
but they would like to have their hours made
phorter, II possible. The reason they don't tell
the inspector the number Of hours they work is
fhey work eight hours. II they say differently
they will lose their positions. Why doesn't
some people sympathize with these girlsf
The employers OF thesel girls have even told
the inspectors themselves that they keep the
rules Of the lawi but they do not keep those
rules.

THERE are many distinctive touches
L about clothes this autumn. especially
sleeves The most effective part of the
sleeve nowadays is the cuff. 1t used to be
that the cuff was merely the end of a per-
feet sleeve, but this season the cuff is the
whole sleeve-if II happens to be one of
the deep kind that extends from wrist to
elbow
Ball trimming Is one of the reasons why
cuffs are smart this year. A serge or satin
frock which boasts beading or metallic
braid on the bodice, has high, turned-back
cuff, linked together with heavy balls.
Fur is another reason. The woman who
can afford all the luxuries that the styles
demand has cuffs of mole or kolinsky, set
on the sheerest of chiffon or georgette. The
effect is smart indeed.
Cuffs are open here and there in inconse-
quential fashion. They may be formed of
silk chiffon or velvet but the slit is there.
One odd model seen recently has ruffied
cuff, set on with a band of fur, with a slit
reaching to the elbow.

The moths have been having a high old
time all summer. They lunched on over
coats dress suits, fancy furs, and for desert
dined on derbies and velvet collars.
It is possible that the moths were aware
of the fact that camphor balls are almost
as dear as beefsteak. In fact, they are
four times the price they sold for before
the war.
AS a result, many were permitted to re-
main in captivity in drug stores, and the
moths made their spring and summer drives
against the raiment of poor humans with
little opposition.

of mothballs took chance by getting per-
