table. Then the conversation is
most important; where there are chill.
dren whose ideals must be formed,
the table talk may be the means of
shaping their entire lives. Petty gos-
sip, criticism and time for general
correction makes an otherwise pleas
ant meal most uncomfortable. Table
manners should be taught to children,
but example will do much, with an
occasional kindly correction.
Come to the table in bright and
happy mood, keep the conversation
in pleasant and instructive grooves.
One Of our great educators always
had an atlas, an encyclopedia and a
dictionary in the dining room to be
consulted during the meal when it
was necessary to use reference books.
The children from that home went
out with broad and general educa-
ton that could never have been &C.
Quired from books or college train
ing. In the tender years of a child's
life impressions may be made, facts
learned without conscious effort on
his part, that will remain in the mem.
DRY as long as the mind lasts.
Wholesome food is one of the neces-
stiles of well-balanced body, and
wholesome thought is just as vital to
well-balanced mind. We believe
these things and nod approval when
they are spoken or written, but we
get nowhere unless we ourselves work
to accomplish results. We often hear
remarks made OF certain families Of
children, they are so well-mannered,
they were just born that way" The
fact Is, II those lives were investi.
gated, that the parents have spared
40 pains or time, no comfort, to teach
md train them. This training is not
always seen, but 1t must be given to
get good results.

LAST WORD IN !
SUMMER BLOUSES

An elegant blouse OF linen, hand en-
broidered. and an equally smart but
less costly model in voile. are among
the latest offerings in summer styles.
Each of them presents at least one new
feature worth consideration, and either
Of them may be easily made at home.
Handkerchief linen in the natural
linen color was used for the blouse
at the left of the picture, with heav.
Ter linen in q medium shade Of blue.
and embroidery in white. black and
blue floss appearing in the decoration.
This blouse has an open throat and .
wide sailor collar with rounded cor.
ners, piped with blue. Down each
side Of the front are simulated button
holes made Of the blue linen. and the
embroidery design, in the fashionable
mode OF long stitches, IL worked about
these buttonholes. oblong buttons are
covered at the top with the natural
linen, and the remainder with the
blue. The same model IL shown in

thing over ten dollars,

BATHING FROCKS AND
SWIMMING SUITS

Bathing suits of this years design
include many new departures from &C.
cepted styles of other years. They
are ampler in length and width of
skirt; many Of them have sleeves that
partially cover the upper arm. and
considerable needlework is involved
in their making. There are princess
models that look like riding coats. and
there are full skirts with pantalets
that reach some inches below the
knees. Most novel Of all is a model
made Of silk with very full skirt
sewed together across the bottom.
with two openings to thrust the feet
through. This serves the purpose of
bloomers and skirt.
One of the best of the new designs
is shown in the illustration. 1t is of
black taffeta trimmed with narrow
white braid. The skirt is cut in four
cores. narrow at the top and pointed
at the bottom. The waist, cut with
kimono sleeves, opens over white
SILK west. Revers reach TO the waist
line. and there Ii a. small fiaring collar
at the back. These and the sleeves.
which are slit up the top of the arm.
are outlined with two rows of the mar
row white braid. Black and white silk
in wide stripes make the close-fittfng
cap with wings of plain black. and
black ara white are combined in the
stockingJ and slippers. Altogether
this is a model that is attractive and
practical. Short knickerbockers~ are

ancs Of Home.

Terraces. particularly house ter
races, which are all those upon small
grounds, belong to architecture, and
should therefore be kept closely in
connection with its kind. All house
terraces, those close about or parallel
to buildings, belong to the structure
adjacent and should be kept as close
up as possible. Terraces usually allow
for liberal bed of plants next to the
buildings, then path, level apron
of equal or slightly greater width on
the outside Of path, and then the ter
race, If there be but one, drops down
into the field. II there be more than
one terrace each successive one as
they leave the building must be broad
er than the one above, and thus they
drop by ever.easing and more gener-
GUS extent to. the field below. This
field does not mean a vast extent, but
what remains of the premises. The
mistake is often made, and 1t is q
serious one. of building the terrace
broader than the field. reversal Of
art that is inveighed against by every
authority who has written upon the
subject.

Then they asked the Clouds II they
didn't want to come to their frolic too
but they said they must be sure to
wear dark, wild.looking costumes
for there would be nothing mild about
their frolic.
And so, first of all the Clouds be-
gan slowly to change into their dark
costumes-some Of them looked as
black as night. and others looked very
dark with strange gray edgings which
made them look very wild.
And then came the bright little
Flashes of Lightning with old King
Thunder and old Queen Thunder. OF
course all the little Children Of old
King and old Queen Thunder came
along too.
"Well, of all the frolics. this was
the best they had had for a long. long

said they hadn't heard such Thun-

Thunder Children were delighted too

And, 1 mustn't forget, those other
guests at the frolic-the King and

they danced down on the earth In the

Barn Swallow
(Hirundo erythroaastra)

Length. about seven inches. Distin-
guished among our swallows by deeply
forked tail.
Range: Breeds throughout the
United States texcept the South At
lantic and Gulf states, and most Of
Canada; winters in South America.
Habits and economic status: This
is one OF the most familiar birds Of
the farm and one OF the greatest in.
sect destroyers. From daylight to dark
on tireless wings it seeks its prey. and
the insects destroyed are countless.
It's favorite nesting site is barn
rafter. upon which It sticks its mud
basket. Most modern barns are SO
tightly constructed that swallows can.
not gain entrance. and in New Eng.
land and some other parts of the coun-
try barn swallows are much less
numerous than formerly. Farmers
can easily provide for the entrance
and exit OF the birds and so add ma
teriaily to their numbers. 1t may
be well to add that the parasites that
sometimes infest the nests OF swal.
