nMissino" Girls.

There are number of women just
as there are a number of men who
wish to walk from their immediate
stagnant circle out into the very large
world of many currents and many adj
ventures. Perhaps the growing indie
pendence of women has something to
do with this movement. If statistics
were available we should not be sur
prised if many a 'lady tramp" were
practicing stenography and other cleri-
cal vocations in the business world.
AS soon as many women have become
sufficiently equipped to be self-support-
ing they have cast from the old moor
ings and have sailed the social seas
with all the independence of the bach
elormaid. A room, flower boxes, pop
ular fiction, attendance upon the legi-
innate and moving theaters in the
company of other women, no family
ties, no dull household routine-per-
haps this kind of life is creating a
class of women with which our social
system will be forced to reckon, and
which will rob the missing" of the
glamour of romance, but give them a
position Of far greater responsibility

Dietinq.

Dieting is the pastime of those who
are physically unfit for more active
recreations. It may be enjoyed in
doors or out, and though it is not so
vigorous as football nor so exciting
as hunting wild game, yet it has many
thrills. Perhaps its most tense mo-
ments are at mealtime when one
reaches a high pitch of excitement at
sight of some thin soup and two hard
crackers. One becomes in fact so ex-
cited that one is obliged to hold tight
to the chair. 1t is particularly ex-
citing to realize that one is likely to
fly into d frenzy at any moment and
eat everything in sight. The scales
are almost indispensable to dieting, all
though, for that matter, they are all
most indispensable to fish. However,
to be anything at all, diet must have
a pair of scales. 1t will amuse you
to see that every time you are about
to step on the scales you think per-
haps you have lost a little weight

AFTERNOON FRocK FOR MIDSUMMER

Ing of this gown, is essential, as in all
simple designs. In this respect the
home dressmdker must be faithful to
the model if she undertakes to copy it; /;
but a light wool or heavy cotton fab
ric may be used instead of silk, with
good success. Small shepherd check,
in black and white, decorated with
black Soutache braid will convert the
model into a perfect one-piece street
dress.
As pictured the dress is made of a
heavy silk crepe and fastens at the
front with white buttons, set close to-
gether, and loops of silk cord. Down
each side of the bodice at the back
and front beTder design in soutache
braid provides decoration in perfect
harmony with the dress. The design
is widened at the shoulders to extend
to the arm's-eye. The sleeves are long
and without cuffs, but the braided pat
tern appears at the wrist and three
buttons, matching those that fasten the
dress, are set close together here.
narrow, fiat sash of the material is
finished at the end with bit of hand
some fringe. tits tackled to the dress
and looped over at the front. The
neck is managed with the same re-
serve that characterizes the entire de.

opening, small revers, and cape collar

TELLS OF A CLEVER COLLIE.
Robert Louis Stevenson Reeites In~
teresting Tale of Dog Which Knew
His Masters Step.

In one of his books, Robert Louis
Stevenson writes of his friend, John
TODD, a shepherd who had spent his
days herding sheep on the Pentland
hills, in Scotland. Many a talk these
two had together as they roamed the
hillsides with the dogs and sheep, and
John had endless stories of the days
when the drove roads, which now lie
green and solitary, were busy thor
oughfares, thronged- with drovers and
their beasts. OF sheep dogs John has
much to tell, and here is one of his
stories as Stevenson tells it:
"Once," he writes, ''when John had a
specially clever sheepdog, he had
bought some sheep in Edinburgh, and
ON the way out, the road being crowd
ed two were lost. This was re-
proach to John, and a slur upon the
dog; and both Were alive to their mis-
fortune. Word came, after some days,
that a falmer about Braid had found
pair of sheep; and thither went John
and the dog to ask for restitution.
But the farmer was hard man and
stood upon his rights. How were they
marked?' he asked and since John
had bought right and left from many
sellers he had no notion of the marks.
Very well,' said the farmer, then it's
only right that 1 should keep them
WELL said John, it's fact that I
cannae tell the sheep; but if my dog
can, will ye let me have them? The
farmer was honest as well as hard,
and, besides, I daresay, he had little
fear of the ordeal; so he had all the
sheep upon his farm into one large
! park, and turned Johns dog into their
midst. That hairy man of business
knew his errand well; he knew that
John and he had bought two sheep and
Ito their shame) lost them about Bor-
oughmuirhead; he knew, besides /.
that they were come to Braid for their
recovery; and without pause or blum
der singled out, first one and then an
other, the two waits. =. And the
shepherd and his dog-what do say?
the true shepherd and his man-set
off together by Fairmilehead in jocund
humor, and smiled togither' all the
way home, with the two recovered ones
before them"

One of the latter is pictured with
wider brim than the milan model and
round crown. 1t is bordered, on the
under brim, with narrow ribbon gath
cred at the inner edge and a ribbon is
introduced into the crown in the same
way. A cluster of small roses is posed
at the front. This is favorite trim
ming for both black and white hair
braid hats.
The third hat is an unusual model Of
purple georgette crepe and slipper
straw in the same color. The upper
and under brim are of crepe with a
scalloped border Of the straw. The
top crown and part of the side crown
are covered with crepe, also with a
wide band of straw covering that por-
tion of the crown which appears below
the wreath of yiolets and small roses
encircling it. The flowers are in their
natural colors and they are lacquered
by process which stiffens and bright
ems them so that they will hold their
own in the summer sun.

Enr Our Selection

There is a wealth Of comfort in
the old maxim, ''The world is wide" !"
This is simply to say that it offers
a limitless field for selection. If one
fact is black, another is bright. If
a friend is false, somewhere true
friends are awaiting your coming. To
sit in a dark corner while bright life
is everywhere about you; to brood
over a sorrow, a slight privation,
when a multitude Of good and gener-
GUS and hopeful deeds illustrates the
daily life of the world; to rage at
the limitations of your own estate
when you can make your spirit SYM
pathetically master of everything
is to declare an indolent and wallowing
spirit 1t is form of voluntary servi-
tude to the powers of darkness.-Ex-
change.

the drumsticks or they may be cooked
to make a fine broth, removing the
bones and add vegetables and cook in
a casserole, adding rice or macaroni.
Chicken Jelly.-Take one chicken
breast, a pint of stock in which the
chicken was cooked, and a package
of gelatin. Dissolve the gelatin, add
onion juice, celery salt or various sea-
gether. Pour in q mold and when hard
ened serve as a salad with dressing.
After all the chicken has been con-
sumed but the bones, they too, may be
stewed after cracking them. Cover
them with cold water, add Il slice of
onion and cook until all the flavor has
been extracted. Strain, add a little
cooked rice or barley, one or two beat
en- eggs, and some hot milk or thin
cream with plenty of seasonings and
you have a most delicious cream of
chicken soup.
