hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of ~freezOne costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-

on the subjects in question and to whom they
refer.
Dramatic clubs far from the white lights of
Broadway subscribe through "The Sunwise
Turn" for the plays Of which they have read
in the newspapers, and craftsman's societies
send for the latest trcatises on their trade. A
missionary in India and woman who has gone
to Japan have left subscriptions for monthly
packages of books to be sent to them, and tho
head of department store in Honolulu receives
her monthly budget from the little shop with
the bright orange and blue sign.
Furthermore, the shop has become the centre
which its founders hoped-a place for the inter
change of ideas. 1t was only the other day
that Swedish scholar who had come to this
country to study American life and its prob
lens, discouraged in his search for information
at the public libraries and commercial book
shops, wandered into "The Sunwise Turn" and
found the very books which would answer his
purpose.
Not content with selling other peoples books,
THE Sunwise Turn" has turned publisher and
brought out two books Lord Dunsany's might
at an Inn" and "Old Worlds for New" by Ar
thur j. Plenty.
And we must not forget one of the most
unusual features of the work of "The Sunwise
Turn" Every book which is sent out of the
shop has pasted on the inside cover little
critique written by Miss Jenison or Mrs Clarke.
This means, of course, that every book which
leaves the shop has been read by one or the
other of these faithful souls.
These critinues are particularly useful in
the case Of camp or store libraries, where the

comforts. Can't you hurry up with those
Sweaters?"
Stirred by this appeal, she sought to enlist
societies and friends in their behalf, but. found
them swamped with orders from headquarters
or battleships and companies which they were
already under obligations to supply.
The outcome was the initial purchase at
Wholesale rates of twenty-five yards of double
facer eiderdown, khaki color. From this vests
were cut, very similar in pattern to the avi-
ators jacket.
Now for the items Of expense. The patent
fasteners come to s1.25 gross. The front
of this vest is faced with strip Of plain
khaki cloth costing 35 cents a yard one and
half yards are sufficient for eighteen vests.
A machine which instantaneously puts on
snapper fastenngs, small simple device which
anv child can work, retails at S2.75.
II the thread is included in the expense, and
one spool of fifty yards is enough to make two
sweaters, the expense per sweater all told is
about $125.
A companion piece, the helmet shown in the
corresponding photograph, has been very pop
ular. One of these can be made in one-half
hour and costs about 90 cents. The relative
cost is higher because there is more waste.
Mrs. David Graham Evans, of All Riverside
Drive is the sponsor for this vest and helmet.

more inviting to that man in khaki, sitting in
a khaki tent, looking out into khaki-colcred
