CHAPTER S.

1ft<tI I'm %
Pennington n homei
Alice climbed down from the train
n looked about her. Everything
was exactly the same. Even the floor
of the station was as rough and I'M
even, as full of mot holes and I'M
comfortable to walk on, as il had
ever been. Some of the old black
crayon drawings, done on the sly by
youngsters. were still on the brick
walls; they had not been scrubbed off
even.
After all. it was only half a year
since she had left for the city. Ger
tainly that was not long. But there
was a new station man, she did not
know this one. She saw him at the
baggage car. pulling of the old gray
green trunk she recognized as her
own.
1t is never lonely going on a trip.
even when n goes alone, for there
Is always the excitement of getting
OFF and the prospect of new places.
new people and new experiences. But
coming home Is dinerent-one should
always be met at the homeward end
of the journey. IL is a coming back
TO familiar things and to a routine
perhaps a very @ routine, but one
that it's at least devoid of excitement.
Alice felt desperately lonely. If she
had had the money she would have
gone no further. but would have
turned back and taken the mex train
to town and to the college.
Fortunately her sense of humour
saved her. She even smiled at the
weak feminine mood that was on her
1t was SO unlike herself. she
thought.
So she picked up her handbag and
walked down the platform to claim
her trunk.
where's Jim ?" she asked the new
nan.
Jim? oh, the fellow that used 10
be here? He's got a job Town the
line at Newton. Got married and
moved there
'fOh." Alice replied, uninterested al
once. Why had she asked such a silly
question? She went over to the jitney
stand.
There's my trunk on the plat
to Dexter street. number 1882"
"Yes'm." said the man, with a re-
spectful glance al her clothes. Alice
realized suddenly how well she look
ed in her smart fur coat II cap,
and her new shoes and gloves.
She was homeland sorry to be
home. Every new street displeased
her. Dexter street brought no thrill
of pleasure when the carriage turned
into II. February is a dreary month.
Alice thought.
Yet the sight of the fresh curtains

In her own windows mad her eyes
light up, and when she ran to the
front door. she was almost glad.

While this day is dedicated to the

able to tell YOU they would have
YOU enjoy his day in honor Of them.
so let us make this a real day of
sunshine and happiness.
A picnic Or a home entertainment
should be the feature of Decoration
Day. If a picnic is planned, then let
us prepare wholesome n palatable
food that everybody will enjoy-for
when all is said the success of every
picnic depends upon the food.
Let us plan to get away from the
old style sandwich and picnic foods
and replace them with appetizing cuts
of bread and butter and s~pringtime
salads and then some good pastry or
cake. 1t usually takes a few hours
TO prepare the necessary materials for
a picnic. so right at the start we
plan a menu:
Celery and Potato Salad
Whole Wheat Bread and Butter
Chocolate Layer Cakes Coffee
Vegetable Salad
Rye Bread Butter
Ginger cake, MarshmallOw Filling
Coffee
Ham and Lettuce Sandwiches
Pickles Radishes
Apple Tarts Conee

in design; there are many Overblouse
models, there are cOllarless and col.
Jared models-the former In the ma
1Ority. There are tailored and there
are untrimmed types, but taken alto
gether II may be said that blOuses and
sm0cks were never more beautiful
than they are today.
A handsome smock Of georgette
crepe with cape collar Is designed
In way to set Off very prettily the
abundant embroidery in silk floss that
adorns II. The collar, sleeve and
skirt Of the smock are encircled with
this work. which usually is done in
colors, one like that In the crepe and
one contrasting. In the smock pic
tured the sleeves are three-quar-
ters length-a safe choice. since
II is possible to shorten them for mid
summer, and novel feature appears
In the narrow velvet ribbon threaded
through eyelets in the embroidery.
For coniining the smock at the
waist line the choice lies between mar
row girdles of the same material us
the garment or silk cord and tassels
like that shown in the picture, which
seems an appropriate finish for a
smock so richly embroidered.

TN BLOUSES and smocks, ny In
everything else that has been pre-
sented so far for spring, variety
Is most noteworthy feature of the
displays; variety In styles, In mate
rials, in design. II is probably due to
the growing demand for exclusive"
styles on the part of many people who
have grown exactlng within the last
year or two. They appear TO be
willing to pay long prices for "some-
thing different" Blouse and smock
designers. therefore, are following the
lead Of the milliners and excursioning
into all sorts Of by.paths that lead a
little way Off the main Travelled road.
But there Is room for some generaliz-
Ing In summing up the styles. Blouses
and snOcks interest women much ear
ller than suits and coats for spring.
Many Of the choicest ones are made ut
home, and even when this is not the
case, the assembling of hlouses for
spring and summer wear begins early
and takes time,
Short peplum styles and short
sleeves appear over the horizon for
summer wear. There are plenty of
Russian blouse models and plenty of
long sleeves-the latter greatly varied
