1t is the children of school age, and
the young folks going away to school
that claim attention in August. Early
in September they begin another years
work and must be outftted with
clothes for the first quarter of the
school year, at least, and often for
half of it.
The early display of clothing is
great help to those mothers who under
take to have their children's clothes
made at home. 1t is probably quite as
economical to buy little cotton dresses
ready-made as to make them at home !;
but in homemade garments individual
taste can be brought into play and
more handWork and "stitchery" used
than can be had in moderately priced
frocks bought ready made.
Besides, remodeling is an item in
wartime economy that every mother
should consider. All wooden frocks that
are either remodeled for the children
or handed on to some one who can
wear them save the consumption of
energy, and this is patriotic service
that is worth while.
Blue serge-the never failing-is
featured in the new displays. Some
times it is combined with heavy linen

for the first time felt a little discour-
aged, so it was little wonder she was
not in her usual pleasant frame of
mind.
II am managing nicely" she said
frigidly. Il have spaded gardens be-
fore, you know" She was sorry the
minute she had spoken the words, but
it was too late to undo them. She
heard an embarrassed cough and the
man retreating to his chicken runs.
When she looked over in his direction
i've minutes later, she saw that he was
quite young man, and it occurred to
her that he was really nice looking
Why, it was Albert Beddome, the ac-
scouQtant at one of the banks She had
known him by sight for months. That
made her more chagrined than ever.
He was hammering away at small
coop. His cheeks were red-from ex-
ertion or from the cut she had given
his feelings, she wondered which. Al
though she was worn out before she
had worked another hour, Gwendoline
was not ready to give in. She could
work at her gardening just as long as
he could work around his chickens.
She wished she had chosen chickens to
raise instead of vegetables. She knew
much more about them and the work
was not nearly so hard They were as
necessary, too. She had been unwise
to think that gardening would be so
much fun. She had enjoyed two
months on her uncle's poultry farm
one summer, and had learned a lot
about chickens. OF course, she would
not have been able to build the coops
and runs-at least not very well. 1t
was hard to admit, even to herself,
that there were some things men could
do that women could not. That she
would win out on that garden, though,
she resolved firmly.
1t looked very much as if she was
going to win out, too. The lot was
really small one, but it seemed a
whole farm by the time Gwendoline
had 1t all spaded and raked. The
planting of the seeds was more inter.
esting. When they started to sprout
through the ground, she was sure hel
fortune was made. A week Of Splen
did growing weather worked wonders
with the plants, and she could hardly
contain her joy when she made hel
daily visits. Then came special rusl
at the Office. For nearly week Gwen
.doline had to neglect the garden, bu
everything had had such good star
she was confident that no harm coult
come of it.

To shade the eyes or not to shade
the eyes, that is the question to be
decided when the quest is for auto
bonnets for fall motoring. There are
several requisites that the successful
bonnet or hat or cap must fill. First
of all it must stay on; no matter what
winds may blow or how much the drlv-
er manages to exceed the speed himlt.
TO wobble about or come off is the I'M
forgivable sin in piece of motor head
wear. Besides this indispensable fea-
ture-and equally important-the bon
net must measure up to its wearers
ideas Of becomingness.
Comfort In all our apparel is an at
tribute that (t almost goes without
saying) is required of it today. Near
w all the hats and bonnets for mo-
toring have small brims, or visors at
the front for shading the eyes, but
there are some turbans and caps that
are brimless. They are in the mi
nority; so it is evident that If the ques-
ton of shading the eyes or not were
put to the popular vote-the eyes
would have it. Nevertheless. the
"Blue Devil" tam is so dear to the
heart of young Americans that it en-
tiers the ranks Of fall hats for motor
wear. It sticks to the head as secure
w as q French soldier to Sammy, and
withstands shocks of wind and wealth
er without betraying their punishment.

RnvIe,s Law.

This is a name given to famous
principle in pneumatics known as the
law of the compression of gases. 1t
was first discovered by Boyle in 1862,
and afterward independently by Mari
otte in 1879 It is as follows: The
temperature remaining the same, the
volume Of a given quantity of gas is
inversely as the pressure which it
bears. In other words, when a given
volume of any gas or. vapor is COM
pressed, so as to occupy a small space,
it's elastic force is increased when the
volume is increased it's elastic force is
diminished.

as in a model showing a plated, long,
WASTED blouse of amethyst-colOred
linen to which a plated blue serge
skirt is buttOned. A broad belt of
patent leather slips through crocheted
loops of amethyst silk floss that hang
from the blouse. They are fastened to
it with a few fancy stitches, az inch
or so above the buttons SO that the
belt covers the joining of skirt and
blouse.
Heavy linen in natural color makes
collars and cuffs and sometimes YES
tees on serge one-piece frOcks. Needle
work in yarn or silk floss is more used
for decoration than anything else.
Usually one or two cOlors in contrast
to the frock are used and the designs
must be simple. The little frock pic
tured for the girl of six years is good
model for any sort of material-wool,
linen, heavy cotton or plain wash silk.
Wool and linen are most worth while,
for the stitchery that must be put in
by hand.
Collars and cuffs or vestees in heavy
natural linen are beautiful in cOmbi-
nation with blue, brown or green wool
ems. They are made so that they can
be taken out and washed; hence two
sets are necessary to each dress.

GWendo1ine knew just exactly where
she had laid her spade, but apparently
1t had disappeared. After searching
vainly about her own lot, she looked at
the next lot There stood her SPADE
against a chicken-run.
1.-THE nerve of some peOple!" she
gasped, as she made her way to secure
the missing tool "That is just like
man to have no tools of his own and to
come borrowing mine," she muttered,
as she started back. When she glanced
over the lot she noticed big change.
More than half was dug up, and she
was sure she had only spaded about a
quarter Of it. The borrower of her
spade had done the rest, that was ap-
parent. Gwendoline wished he had left
1t alone, just the same. Perhaps it was
very nice of him, she reflected, but it
looked to her very much like interfer-
ence. She would not have undertaken
to cultivate that building lot if she had
not thought she could do it unaided.
Women could dig just as well as men.
This greater-prOduction campaign was
going to show it. To begin with, more
girls than men had take up the idea OF
cultiVating empty building lots. Gwen
doline was equipped with complete
gardening outfit, costume and all. She
started in spading again, but after
few minutes she had to stop to rest.
IF you would hold your spade lit
tie higher up the handle, you would
find the work much easier" she heard
mans voice say.
GWendoline raised her shoulders and
stood at her full height. She could feel
just how impressive she was in her
costume. She was hot and tired and
