TTERE are two outfits for busy lit
i i tie persons who are three, going
on four-or more years-up to six,
that will make an instant appeal to
mothers. They are everyday togs-
a little dress with bloomers and attrac-
tive rompers, both made with sun bon
nets to match and fashioned Of more
or less sturdy materials, according to
fhe kind Of wear demanded Of them.
The popular ginghams in very small
checks, plain chambrays, or any Of
the medium or lighter weight cottons
used for children's play clothes-not

b.. srsed for making them. AS shown
ssas.., they are intended for the less
sfapmIons frolics Of little ones, for the
etsar sands Of the beach, for the lawn
or ysransla, but the models are good IN

The little frock as pictured is made

g,rettv. old-fashioned dress has a
straigft yoke with body and skirt in
one. gathered to it, the Joining deco
rated with feather stitching. It has
vound neck and short sleeves all fin

A S THE gorgeous peacock feathers
"A 1nd the royal purple iris have
dainty yisters that are pure white, so
the ccsorful hats Of early summer are
foHo,aed by replicas in white or in the
palest tints, when July and August
bring tfeir burning skies. These with
other cool looking millinery, do not re-
place their predecessors, but are added

mnen anything that is cool, and looks
cool, is a refreshing sight. There is
nothing like white, and especially pure,
sheer white fabrics, for accomplishing
this purpose. Next to white, combina-
fions Of white and navy blue, white
and black, white and beige, or tan,
are depended upon for these crisp hats
that defy the hottest day that comes.
Most of these simple fabric hats are
made of organdie, flowered voile,
honey-comb batiste, taffeta and geor-
gette in combination with very pill
able and light straw braids. They are
not beyond the ability of the average
needle woman who likes to undertake
hat making at home. as glance at
the group Of four hats pictured above

will show. Three of them are made
on wire frames and one has light
straw braid foundation. The wire
frames are first covered with organdie
or net or other thin, sheer fabric, but
to fit the brim and crown, and it may
not be necessary to cover the upper
brim with this foundation material.
Hemstitching is used where the top
and side crown pieces are Joined and
edges have a picot finish or very mar
row silk or straw braids may be
stitched to them. Sashes of narrow
ribbon or of organdie or of the same
fabric as the hat, provide the trim
ming. One Of the hats pictured Is
made Of white taffeta and has brim
facing of navy blue braid. There is
& little outline embroidery on the
crown of this hat, done with navy blue
embroidery silk. Two hats of honey
comb batiste, have soft edges extend
ing beyond the edges Of the frames,
one with collar and bow of satin rib
bon and one with a little silk en-
broidery on a scarf end used for its
decoration. They are all white.

WROTE OUT THE DOCUMENT
Timothy Matlack Actually Inscribed
the Words Of the Immortal Dec
Iaration Of Independence.

Thomas Jefferson composed the Dec
laration Of Independence. Jefferson
was chairman Of the committee Of five
appointed to draw up the Declaration.
Its composition was assigned to Jeffer-
son by the committee. There were
many changes made by Jefferson and
congress, but mostly by omission rath-
er than alteration Of the wording, so
that the language is practically all
Jefferson's.
The man who held the pen and
formed the letters on the great piece
of parchment that the members of
the Continental congress signed was
Timothy Matlack, the best penman
in the office of Charles Thomson, Sec
retary of the first Continental con-
gress. Matlack was appointed clerk
in Thomson's Office May 15, 1775, and
on May 20 he wrote out the most inn
portant document the congress had
issued up to that time-the commits
sion to George Washington to be COM
mander in chief Of the American army.

Indignation, writing to his well-loved

the restraint that good taste put upon
a well-bred alien pen:
II see plainly that America can de-
fend herself If proper measures are
taken; but I begin to fear that she
may be lost by herself and her own
sons"
And Washington. with his never
failing courage and with a cheerful

OUR COUNTRY
DATE OF INDEPENDENCE
DEMANDS FITTING
CELEBRATION.

We are told by historians that Bjorne
HergulfsOn, an adventurous Icelander,
was the first to see this continent.
This was in the year 9S6 and the land
he saw was believed to be Nantucket,
Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.
Lief Erickson, in the year 1000,
in Biorne's ship, set sail for Green
land,~ landed in Newfoundland and
later in Nova Scotia and still later on
the shores of Massachusetts bay. The
claim is made that he was the first
paleface to set foot on the American
continent.
Descendants of Columbus strenu-
ously deprecated the Importance of
the discoveries Of "Eric the Red" but
the Americanist society declares that
Columbus himself knew of the voy-
ages and settlements of the Norsemen,
having Informed himself thereof when
he visited Iceland in 1477.
Be that as it may, Columbus has
the advantage Of tradition, of famil-
iarity, of the facility with which an
at least apparent connection is estab-
lished between the man and what
came after him.
On June "a, 1897, John Cabot, an
Engl:shman, saw the dismal cliffs of
Labrador. That was IA months be-
fore Columbus, on his third voyage,
came in sight Of the mainland Of
South America.
Amalric was the name which COM
pacted the old ideal of heroism and
leadership. 1t meant "the man who
ruled because he labored for ALL" This
name the Norman French shortened
to Amaury. In Italy the name suf-
fered euphonic changes and it became
Amelrico, but the juxtaposition of the
two consonants 81" and "r' presented
a difficulty in pronunciation and the
''lr" was changed to .rr'' and finally to
one "r." Down the centuries the name
remained, and from AmerricO Vespuci
came the name Of the new world.
The Mayfower cast anchor in the
waters off Cape Cod on November 21,
1921. The Pilgrims finally decided on
Plymouth as the spot for settlement.
The first settlement had been estab-
lished, however, at jamestown since
1907. Its early record was one Of con-
tinuous misfortune-from an Op-
pressive government to famine and In
dian massacre. The first legislative
assembly convened July 80. 1719.
On July 4, 1776, the Declaration Of
Independence was agreed to and Mat
thew Thornton affixed his signature to
the engrossed copy. On January IS,
1777, an authentic copy with the
names Of the members of congress was
ordered and a copy was sent to each
Of the United States to be placed on
record"
This great state paper, "unequaled
in eloquence and dignity" was the
product, largely, of Thomas Jefferson
and Benjamin Franklin, and it is said
Thomas Paine. Franklin's friend, wrote
the first draft presented to congress.
From that time to this the people
Of the United States Of America have
celebrated the anniversary Of their In
dependence Emerging, with colors tri-
umphant, from participation in the
World war, the Stars and Stripes have
taken on added luster and today they
float over the happiest and most pros
porous people on the earth.

|lET OLD BELL PEAL AGAIN
Suggestion for the Rejuvena:ion of
the Historic Tocsin That Rang
Out Liberty's Triumph.

Shall the Liberty bell ring out once
more? Ever since 1913 it has remained
mute-and for good reason. When
it was being rung on February %,
1S43, the crack in it, which had ap-
peared some eight years before. so in
creased as nearly to destroy its sound.
Ever since that time it has silently
held it's post at the head Of the stair
way in Independence hall in ?hiladel-
phia, where it has received the rever-
entail inspection of thousands of
Americans.
The original bell was cast in Eng
land in 1852, and was cracked soon
after it was brought to America. 1t
Middletown transcript., 1920-06-26

was recast in Philadelphia, more cop
per being put into the composition.
But it cracked again while being toll
ed in memory Of Chief Justice John
Marshall in 1885; and the crack ex-
tended, as has been said, in 1913.
Here is suggestion. Why not
place within the Liberty bell second
smaller bell which can be rung? The
proportions Of the original bell permit
Of this. and it will be, in fact. cov-
er or jacket for the sound-giving bell.
Surely this generation ought to see
the historic bell swinging once more
as joyous peals "Proclaim Liberty
Throughout All the Land Unto All
the Inhabitants Thereof" as the in
scriptiQn on the bell reads.-Popular
Science Monthly.
