Suits for summer wear as first
requirement for good style, must look
cool. Many Of them accomplish this
fine beginning and achieve a happy
ending by being actually cool; they
are made of loosely woven, light
weight silk or fiber fabrics that ,are
the least burdensOme of hot weather
suitings as well as the most fashion
able Besides these there are those
unfailing pOngees and mOhairs with
advantages of their own to recon-
mend them, and linen is still ain the
running" But in the race for prefer
ence with women Of fashion these
long-familiar fabrics have been out
distanced by the newer weaves.
In the two suits shown in the pic
ture the one at the left is typical of
the style that leads for suits made of
light jersey, silk and silk fiber suit
ings. Straight hanging coats and
skirts less narrow than those made
of the usual wool clothes are the, rule
in these suits. The sweater coat is the
model followed in nearly all of Them
to be worn with or without vests. Vests
for midsummer, made of Organdy and
other sheer cottons, often in combina-
ton with narrow laCes, take the place
Of vests of heavier fabrics that have
had such sweeping popularity. The
cool, three-quarter length sleeve is n
feature of this suit and it is shown
with satin vest having a leaf and
lattice design embroidered in gray and
silver. There is a narrow sash across
the front Of the satin, the ends finish
ed with small fower-lke ornaments
made of silver ribbon.
The suit at the right is conven-
tlonal tailored model of white cloth
with hair line stripes which may be
In brown, blue, green or black. The
coat, while not a straight-line model,
is cut on easy but trim lines. This,

science and an art. We may seem to
thrive on one kind of food, but we find
that where two or three are served
they digest better and are better able
to keep up the body activities. If we
treat the body as a well regulated fur
mace which is fed at intervals, not

the choice and care of food.
If we overeat we waste good fuel,

give off heat or supply energy.
The three food principles which we
find supply the body in the best pos

from butter, cream and nuts, carbohy-

the roughage or ballast necessary to

L think that I shat never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing
breast
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain,
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Navy blue is expected to be the
reigning color for summer, but there
will also be strong liking for sand,
gray and the lighter blues. Rose Is
another color that will be used by
smartly dressed women. Also, there
will be canary, buttercup, apple green
and orchid; giving plentiful choice.

prams and houses. Ted was mildly
bored but tolerant. Betty had been
good little scout about looking at
things with wheels, so he wasn't
going to spoil sport for her; and he
even professed certain masculine
admiration for the better-looking
dolls. Betty was in the seventh
heaven of delight. No sooner did
she pick out one favorite than a
lovelier caught her eye. Never were
dolls less beautiful seemed to our
more experienced gaze-but we
weren't going to tell Betty anything
about that. One is only four years
old once in a lifetime.
In the few years prior to the out
break of war dolls had become such
lovely and finished things that it is
saddening to see the decline in their
charm. They have more than
doubled in price, but their features
are blurred and stodgy; their eyes
are glazed and stupid looking, their
joints are stiff and brittle and their
hair is shoddy looking.
ut has been slow work getting
satisfactory American-made DOLL"
explained F. D. Dodge, secretary of
the American Toy Manufacturers
Association, when questioned on this
subject. German and French dolls,
Of course, had our market before
the war. The molding of a dolls
face is difficult matter and re-
quires skill and practice. Moreover,
the shortage of material and labor
has handicapped US in our expert
mental work"
Mr.. Dodge confirmed the impress
sion gained in looking over the toys
Of the season that the war toy is in
the discard this year; that tanks,
cannon, Red Cross nurses and SOL
diers are neither as ubiquitous nor
as popular as they have been for
the last two or three years.
The buyers realized that the de-
mand for war toys would fall off
this Christmas and that constructive
playthings would be wanted" said
Mr.. Dodge. America is really on
the way to becoming the leader of
all the nations in constructive toys.
Look around the shops this Christ

structible. Our aim is to make

Mile. Gauthier was discharged
from service when she left the hos
pital, but although the shrapnel in
her body still panied her at times,
she at once volunteered for service
with the Americans, the United
States having by this time entered
the war.
She was assigned to the hospital
at Bordeaux, and it was there she
met Sergeant Werner, Of the 511th
Engineers. Werner had been ter
ribly wounded in an engagement,
and would have died, it is said, but

the war, and when the former heard
of his condition he begged Mile.
Gauthier to become his nurse, also.
Once again the young French
woman responded, and, being a vol
unteer nurse, was able to get her
self transferred to that case. She
showed the same devotion in nurs-
ing Harrison as she had in caring
for Werner, and once, when an
emergency operation was necessary
and no physician was to be had.
she did the work herself and so ex-
pertly that the French doctor who
afterward went on board told her
that but for her skill her patient
certainly would have died.
Meanwhile Mile. Gauthier had told
the two young men-they are about
the same age as she-of the death of
her brother and her parents, adding
that she hoped to be able some day
to come to the United States.

Harrison and Werner talked the
situation over, and although both are
in humble financial circumstances
they determined that Mile. Gauthier
should have her wish.
"My people are not RICH" Harri-
son, who had been selected as the
spokesman, told her, "but as long as

will have one, too. My father, I
know, will agree with me. I have
three sisters, mademoiselle, and they

So we felt when we turned off
Fifth Avenue, which was yelled in
the frosty film of December, and
entered the wonderland of toys with
Betty and Ted ecstatically clutching
us to the right and to the left.
From the moment we crossed the
threshold we forgot the world and
its people and wandered through
the pages of all the fairy tale books
we had ever read.
We spied the woollies, whose very
feel sent shiver down Betty's sus-
ceptible little spine. The nice, fat
Teddy Bear, the squeaky elephant,
the timid rabbit, Fido with a silly
pink bow round his pudgy neck and
the white, curly lamb. Betty wanted
to hug them all, in turn, and would
, no doubt have had her imperious in
FAINT way if IT hadn't been for Ted.
He is the mechanical genius of the
family, and he had to have his in
nings, too. So Betty was swept safe
ly away from the woolly counter
and guided toward mechanical de-
vices.
Next to them were the games,
and there we fingered for long
time, picking out the new ones that
we didn't know about, and renewing
our acquaintance with old friends.
We thought the new ones appallingly
instructive for very little folk, not
at all the kind Of thing we had in
our infant days.
The rest of our journey through
wonderland was dizzy progress
past bewilderingly beautiful picture
books, tops and ball, Polichinelles
and observation-disclosures, motor cars,
both big and little, and jolly ships
in which we longed to go a-sailing
kiddie-kars and all the other joyful
things you find in the world of
make-believe.
"Now the dollies?" whispered
Betty, excitedly. And in a moment
we were lingering the bisque ba-
bies-their dresses, hats, beds,

still smoldered over the girls de-

again at this point.

waved him aside.

that those things go by threes, and it

to show his gratitude and she &C.
copied his attentions in that light.
Shortly afterward Harrison ar
rived at Bordeaux on the steam
ship Westwood. He had been suffer-

and after reaching port his condi-
ton became so grave that it was
feared he would not recover.

about that time, too, learned
that my father and mother were

ut was at Vitry that I was
wounded the first time. I had ven

machine gun bullet struck me in the
jaw. You may, perhaps, see the
scar still. In any case, there Is a
lump there, which you can feel,
monsieur, by putting your finger
there.

wound, which was not serious.

for some time I was in one of their
hospitals. Again I recovered, and

German soldiers.
Zone day a German officer at

desperation was compelled to open
the veins in my wrists with a scalpel
to drive him off. You may see those
scars also, if you desire, monsieur,
