NOW Is the Time TO Gather
Your POSieS for POfpOuyri
BY JANE LESLIE kIFT

Now is the time to gather your posics
to refill your rose jars and fill the fas-
cinating bags and boxes which will de-
light our friends at Christmas time.
Potpourri is so expensive to buy and
so easy to make that it seems a pity
more people do not save their blossoms
and thus preserve the sweetness of the
summer months so as to add to the fra
GRANGE of the ones to come.
The first step in this work is to Sc
cure some large pieces of white blotting
paper. Spread it in a sunny place. On
this paper lay your leaves and blossoms.
The following is an old fashioned
recipe which. like the fortunes which are
told in the daisy fields, ''is sure to come
true" In other words, it is reliable and
sure to satisfy:
Two quarts of rose petals. This does
not mean petals that have fallen on the
ground. They have lost their sweetness.
Nor does it mean the petals unfolded
from a bud. They are immature and
lacking in sweetness. But it means two
quarts of petals shaken from full blown
roses.
Keep each variety separate during the
process of drying. Every recipe you will
find calls for salt. Why, / do not know
because salt in nine cases out of ten
will cause the petals to mildew. There
fore, do not be persuaded to use even a
remote suggestion of it.
To the rose petals add two cupfuls
of sweet pea blossoms (do not separate
these petals). two cupfus of old fash =
ioned spicy pinks, three cupfuls of pine
needles and some sprigs of spruce, one
half cupful of marigolds, two cupfuls
of the lovely blossoms of the heliotrope
so popular in those gardens of the past
and rarely seen today; then as much
mignonctte as you can spare. You can
not add too much, and at least four
cupfuls of the trumpets of the honey
suckle. They retain so much of their
sweetness, even when dried then two
cupfuls of chrysanthcmum petals add
zest to the combination two cupfuls of
lemon trifolium leaves (medium sized
leaves are best), one cupful of thyme
and sage leaves. one cupful of shrubs.
As they dry place them in separate con =
tainers with lids. You will likely. when
you place them in these containers, feel

WOMEN ON THE STAGE
LONG FOR REAL HOMES
At Least This One Who Came the Little Summer Camp Did,
The Story of Joan 81

THE Girl Who Went on the Stage
l. was in our cozy little rough board
camp, too. She was to pay a month 3
visit to our hostess. who had met her
some five years back when the girl was
playing week stands somewhere in the
west. We looked forward to her visit
with mixed feelings.
Vow" said the "Niayor," who got
up every morning at six to fish. 1--WE
will have to stay up all night and sleep
all day to make her feel at home"
"Or then again." said Jennie. whose
favoritc author was the pictorial sec
ton, I'VE shall see if those pictures OF
the La La sisters cooking chicken n
la king in boudoir caps can come to
life"
Well. they did. Our little actress
turned out to be the best cook in camp,
and not only that. but Joan was the
most unsuitable worker on the premises
one minute she was washing the blue
luncheon set that hadn't had a bath
since we came; the next minute. with
pretty brown hair blowing and checks
as rose colored as her smock, she
would be scooting up off the shore to
pick brown eyed susans for the table.
Joan took her turn at the dishes,
washing or putting away with equal
speed. skill and chcerfulness. She
mastered the balky wood stove. an
achievement for any woman. Face
flushed, the girl would come trium-
phantly out on the porch.
1t was JOY to watch her-only for
one thing. Joan was longing for a
home. And instead ten years back of
her and all the way in front of her
there was stretched nothing but hons,
skips and jumps.
AM writing about Joan for two
L reasons One is the girl who
wants to so on the stage; the other is
the young married woman who Is un-
happy and discontented in her home
because she feels she missed her calling

adornment than its very original
design
A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose
NOR some time I have been harping
L on the wider skirt, feeling that it
would not be long before its arrival,
but I did not realize that it was quite
so near until the other day. when tea
ing" at one of the big fashionable ho-
tells. There were three French women
there, all wearing very full skirts. All
were black frocks and all the skirts
were short. Not short in the ordinary
sense of the word. as one usually speaks
of short skirts: two of these skirts were
about to the calf of the leg. One of
the frocks was Of black satin made
very simply and unadorned, except for
the narrow satin belt, which seemed
TO bind about the waistline. 1t made
the waist look small-the hips ap-
peared to bulge below-and gave
blouse effect to the bodice.
One of the other women wore a frock
of black tulle; the design, too, of this
was simple. The skirt was very full
and striped with bands of jet about
| three inches in width, which ran up
and down. The neckline was very low
and the sleeves above the elbow. The
bodice was trimmed with the jet after
the same manner as the skirt, and the
| sleeves were plain.
| OF all three, liked best the frock of
! black net hung over a foundation of
| black satin. This skirt was extremely
full and must have measured between
three and a half and four yards in
width. The skirt and the bodice were
decorated with black velvet ribbon
about an inch in width and placed about
four inches apart, following the hem
of the frock. The neckline, as in the
other dresses, was low. The sleeves
were of the net and shaped like the
old angel sleeve, cut short at the front
and flowing away from the elbow and
finished with ribbon at the lower edge.
With this was worn huge black satin
hat, with a bunch of black paradise,
Not only are black dresses very smart
lust now, but the black and white Of
fects are also considered very chic
Most of the black and white frocks are
very pronounced in their combinations
Here is n black and white combina
ton that will give you an idea as tc
the way the black and white is used
This is one of the imported dresses anG
is of black and white satin. The bod
ice is made plain, with the neckline ex
tending to the shoulders. The sleeves
are short. The skirt is looped up or

A Message From Gloria

Dear Cynthia-This is addressed to
Tired and Weary
My dear girl--How I wish I could
just speak to you few minutes, so I'm
going to do it through Cynthia. Oh my
dear, feel so sorry for your mother s
affection, but I'm going to tell You how
to kill that tired and weary feeling when
it seems beyond endurance: just take
n glimpse at other peoples lives and
borrow their trouble just minute and
all at once your shoulders will square
and YOU are thankful your lot is no
worse. ! am girl little older than
you, with a mother who is very nervous
and melancholy. She has managed to
break up almost all my friendship with
boy friends and also my engagement to
a young man in a distant city. which
almost made me feel like giving up hope,
but ! guess some day We'll all be the
better for the difficulties we've had to
endure In the meantime I devote my
energy to helping and loving little chill
dren and in doing so I help myself most
of all. for who can say one is friendless
when they can hold the love and faith
Of little child?
Hoping the X. L. II. G. may continue
to help each other and with untold
gratitude to Cynthia for making it pos :
sible.
GLORIA.
Thanks for the lovely little personal
note.

that your efforts have been in vain that
you have petals, but no odor.
When you lift the lids in late Sep
tember and you mix the potpourri YOU
will realize you are mistaken. Then
the odor will be distinct.
When the petals are mixed (our
grandmothers used a huge china bowl
and silver spoon) add one pound Of
lavender flowers. These you purchase at
drug store; also one pound OF pow
dered orris root and one quarter ounce
or musk. This latter is a LIQUID and
helps blend the odors.
Keep the mass in q covered container
for two weeks after the final mixing,
Then it will be ready to be distributed
into your rose jars. If you retain any
to use in bags and boxes, keep 1t tightly
covered until you are ready to use il.
Should the jars apparently lose their
fragrance merely replace the covers for
day or two and they will be lust AZ
fragrant as ever when you again remove
them.

A strange letter reached the prince
of Wales not very long ago from a
small Indian village at the foot of the
Himalayas. 1t was written on piece
of dried tiger skin apparently with a
pointed stick and some red dye. The
writer said that his father had had the
honor of escorting the late King Ed =
ward when he went tiger shooting in
the jungle, and expressed the hope that
should the prince ever feel inclined to
attempt the ascent of the Himalayas the
prince would honor him by accepting
him as one of his guides for that some
what hazardous adventure.

Let us take the case of Joan. She
has been on the stage ten years and
is now thirty. Many time you have
probably seen her play, for she has
scored hits in any number of the big
musical shows. As a rule she plays
the second lead-that Is, the next i'm

man in the profession-the "lcading

Is Bored With Boys

Dear Cynthia--As you have helped
hundreds of lovelorn lads and lassies, l
wonder If you will help me. First of all
am past twenty four years old. Since
was sixteen have had n countless mum
Der of beaux. / never thought enough
of any fellow to marry, although /
have had numbers of proposals, and
always had the idea l would like to
stay single and live away in a little
cottage all by myself when l was old
But oh, my, how my ideas have
changed, nothing satisfies me. l have
as many admirers as ever, as none takes
me for more than eighteen years of age,
but instead Of being pleased with these
attentions I am bored to death.
/ tried going with bunch of younger
girls, who bored me with their Stiffness !;
older women bore me with their gossip.
What am | to do? Arc there others
in my prcdicament? If so, I would
like to hear from them. They say
misery loves company.
Now, Cynthia, please don't think
because of this that / am "mopy'
and grumpy, far from it. ! have
just returned from weeks yachting
party where I seemed to enjoy myself
as much as the rest. 1t is only when
l get home by myself that ! become
discontentcd and wish l had some one
to tell my troubles to; some one could
really love. Am I heartless, Cynthia
Or am ! doomed to be just
DISAPPOINTED MARGOT.
Twenty four is not the time to begin
to despair that you will never meet the
right man. My gracious, Margot
don't you know it isn't the style to get
married young any more? At the same
time l want to say this: You never
know how interesting different young
men are until you begin to know them
and how can you know them il you
allow yourself to be bored? 1t is g
matter of allowing yourself you see
There's something interesting in so, sc

for it.
Why not try a different atmosphere
