 "What is it, then?" demanded velda.

 What's that?" inquired Esther.
 "For the Belgiums," explained Grace, wisely. "Yes, that is what my man. ma told me-the suffering Belgiums."
 "What are they suffering about" asked wonder-eyed Esther.
 "War," announced Grace oracularly. ssThe people who aren't their friends have killed all the men folks, and burned all the houses, and sent the poor ladies and children out in the snow. So they need help, and man. ma and all the other ladies of the town are going to raise money for them. Auntie Madge and my big sisters sat up nearly all night making red, white and blue badges. Then they have pasteboard boxes with hole in them. When they tag man, he puts money into the box, and they get all the boxes together and send them to the Bel giums to buy bread and shoes and candy with.''
 "But they won't let us play the game" declared Velda dubiously.
 ''That's why I said this was a se- cret," observed little Grace sapiently. "You don't lisp word about this to anyone, but be here about nine o'clock tomorrow morning, dressed up in your best, and I'll have everything fixed to celebrate Tag day"
 Grace mysteriously beckoned her two confederates to the barn when they appeared next morning.
 "All the folks have gone," she ex- plained, except the maid, and she's gone to sleep on the sofa. See here," and Grace opened a newspaper filled with scraps of red, white and blue ribbons. "Now here's a lot of pins,

Two sentimental college youths were discussing the quality of girl they would choose as life companions. The more sentimental of the two asked {: (Which kind of girl do you prefer, the one who can walk and walk and walk without ever having to stop and rest, or the girl who has to stop every now and then in shady place by the road side?" q like the girl" said the more conservative youth, "who can walk and walk and walk without ever hav- ing to stop and rest, but who prefers to pause by the wayside every now and then"

and we must make up all the badges there is ribbon for. See? There's a heap of them, isn't there?' jubilantly exclaimed Grace, as they utilized the last bit of ribbon. "See, I got q flag" and she produced small silk one that had ornamented picture in the parlor of venerable family hero. "Now, Velda, syou are to carry the badges in this basket. Here's the money box, Esther. You'll hold that" and having found no other suitable receptacle, Grace produced great hat-box with a jagged slit cut in it's top. ''I'n go ahead with the flag and run up to peo- pie and tell them 'Tag!"
 ''Oh, it will be lots of funw exulted Velda and Esther in unison.
 "But we mustn't go downtown" warned Grace sagely.
 .Why notY asked Esther.
 Because if our folks see us, they'll send us home. We're going down the turnpike and stop at the houses and hail the people in automobiles and farm wagons. Come on, nOw."

Summer BlOuses and Skirts FOR
Vacation Time

are shirred at the waist and sometimes
finished with heading ard belt. A
number ct & these these !. here ;s:.. gathered
or shirred pockets which make them
ever so much more attractive.
For service as well as snartness
there is nothing better than the white
gabardine skirt, which has no fear Of
the tub. It is very much in demand
this summer and sometimes comes
with colored stripes or dots. Skirts Of
silk or wool jersey in white and colOrs
are, ofcourse, very smart this season.
A new model developed in green wool
jersey is shown in the accompanying
sketch. It is made with plain panel
In front, and the sides and back are
slightly gathered. The novel feature
of this skirt is the pocket section at
the side. Many of the new skirts
show this feature treated Ia various
ways. In the design illustrated, the
pointed ends Of the lower section are
buttned to the upper section which
would be q welcome addition to any
woman's wardrobe is pictured with
this skirt. It is Of fine handkerchief
linen with an embroidered spray
across the front, and collar and cuffs
edged with narrow crocheted lace.
This is a blouse that slips over the
head, and as it has no opening there
is nothing to interfere with the em-
broidery, which spreads itself across
the front. Laces and hand-drawn
work are other decorations used for
summer blouses with charming effect.
Voile and Gingham
The success Of gingham has been
quite amazing and it is interesting to Y
follow the development Of 4tOcls of
this material. The tie-on fr0cks Of
gingham with white pique collars and
cuffs have been exceedingly popular,
and now those Of voile and gingham
combined seem to be making as strong
an appeal to women as the former. |
The striking contrast Of white voile |
with brightly colored plaids is ap-
parently very much favored. In some

Vacation time brings the need for
more than the usual number Of practi-
cal clothes-this, we all know by ex-
perience. Among other things, those
who plan their vacation wardrobes
with foresight will include a goodly
number of separate waists and skirts.
The waists may even be planned
with view Of wearing them in the
fall with the coat suit or with separ-
ate skirts.
From the comfortable morning
smock to the sheer and dainty blouse
for afternoon wear, there is certainly
a very large variety Of interesting
blouses this summer. The practical
white blouse that launders nicely is
deservedly favorite, for when fresh
from the tub it never fails to give the
wearer that crisp, fresh look, whether

You know Imogene has been busy woman of late. with much divided affections. First, a misguided friend presented her with a canary, and next she began fol- lowing horticultural directions design ed to help ignorant and aspiring horas gardeners.
 She hired all the back yard plowed up and when saw it that yard resem- bled nothing so much as an unbroken stretch of Dakota fields all ready for the crop. There were pillows of brown earth dotted with tin cans and broken glass buried by former tenants. 1mo- gene explained that the furnace mad had spaded up her young farm and that she had gone to no undue expense.
 'I found presently that the aspect of our home was quite changed. Every window was full of cigar and starch boxes ewathed in white cloth and the effect was most startling. Imogene ex- plained that in those little boxes were the seeds of prospective bushels and bushels of tomatoes. cabbages, egg plant, lettuce and heaven knows what else. The white cloths had to stay till the seeds sprouted. Then she switched to the canary's actions that afternoon when she had let it out in the sitting room and it was the most remarkable and smartest bird on earth, just as your small boy is the most extraordi- nary. I thought these seemed harmless amusements for Imogene, but in the middle of the night she sprang out of bed and groped her way to the door.

And yet. she likes to write to the Cloud Digger, and she likes to have him write to her. Yes, she must imagine he was an old beau at some time and she wants to make D, for she seems to pay more attention to him than any other writer. They do say that you treat your best friends the worst, so perhaps There is the Req son." Evidently she has pal of the same description who is very gossipy, for she seems to know all about the Cloud Digger's past, all the dark, dark secrets that mustn't be mentioned.

 One word to the Target Your letters to the public are too com mendable for explanation. They speak for themselves, and your reputation and character speak as plainly in them as your oppressor's does in hers Com mon sense will aid you in overlooking letters written from a crank The more letters that come from her pen add more friends to your list, though they be unknown as to name I am in the same town with Mrs T., but let's hope she is poked way off on the very edge and not close enough to taint the neighborhood I have done little scouting myself and I am not telling what I have found out, but the Cloud Digger can say truthfully.
