The Newest Idea
in Under Jackets

Knit enough stitches to form the width
for the back of the neck, leaving the same
number of stitches on second shoulder as
first.
Knit strip for the shoulder-strap ao-
cording to the depth you want the
square neck in front.
Cast on half the number of stitches
that were cast of for the back, and
enough extra to form wrap over on the
front Of three inches.
Knit length Of front, ike back as far as
waist ribbing, do two rows for holes, then
the ribbing. Work second front in same
manner.
The Sieeves-Measure widest part of
rm cast on stitches accordingly, rib
about y inches for wrist, then knit until
within three inches OF top of sleeve &C
cordlng TO measurement of arm length.
Now cast on enough stitches at be-
ginning OF needle TO make three inches,
and knit across the whole row for another
three inches, which should make the extra
little piece three inches square.
To Make Up-Scw up side seams and
sleeves
See diagram showing the frayed edge on
seam and gusSet, which must be sewn
together so that the little square forms
V-shape or gusset underarm.
Make buttonhole loops on right front
and sew buttons to correspond.
The same method can be carried out in
crochet, using a No. or Q hook: plain
treble for the band and shell-stitch above
II would be very suitable.

TO EAT
NEXT WEEK

The first duty of the housewife
marketer is careful thought.
Flrst-the thought that breads,
cereals, fruits and vegetables are
cheaper than meat and should form
the bulk Of the diet, Second, the
thought that some cuts Of meat are far
cheaper than others, and that eggs
cheese, beans and peas, and macaroni
are excellent meat substitutes. Also
that cereals and vegetables properly
combined with meat can make small
amount go long way.
Third-that carefully planned men
us-made for a week ahead, help the
marketer to buy only what is needed
and no more-aYoiding waste and ex-
travagance.
Fourth-the thought that foods
bought out Of season or in times OF
scarcity are an unnecessary ,extrava-
gance.
Fifth-the thought that milk, how
ever expensive is cheaper food ana
more important than meat. Each

she? Harry was quite convinced there
never was.
They were into the first act almost
before Harry realized 1t. After the
first line or two he forgot himself en-
tirely, forgot everything but the part
he was playing and the people that
were acting around him The roar Of
applause that followed the fall Of the
curtain brought him to himself. Would
the applause never cease?

cited. Then It all came over him.
Ruth had been acting as he had never
seen her act before. Together they
had made a triumph.
But the first act was nothing to
what followed. Curtain call after cur
tain call heralded their efforts great
success.
When it was all over, Harry found
himself in his dressing room, dazed by
the wonder OF 1t all. A light laugh at
the door, and Ruth's voice brought his
nerves back in place. Ruth entered

1t was Harry's opportunity. A great
blaze of light struck him between the
temples, he felt himself waverlng, and
there was choking sensation in his
throat. Out into the air he rushed;
he could not stand 1t any longer.
Ruth found him, sitting in the open
rear doorway, painting and dea:hly
white.

1t is for you" she said-"the success

 The president. upon arising this morning. expressed a desire to resume his conference with the republican senators and by noon, was able to go to his study. In addition to discuss ing treaty subjects with Senators Calder, New York, Edge, New Jersey and Cummins. Iowa, he received re ports on last nights race riots in Washington. With Secretary Baker, he discussed measures that might be taken by the federal authorities to aid the district of Columbia govern ment in quelllng the disturbances.
 At the white house it was impos-
