BOOKS ALL IN A ROW.

This is spring housecleaning time,
isn't lt2 We most of us, though we may
be averse To spending our young lives
with dust-mop and scrub brush, still do
find it necessary to put in n little extra
time in the spring cleaning house.
And so, eventually, we come to the
book shelves. Now doubtless the glasscd-
in book shelves are the ideal kind so far
as the state of cleanliness Of the books il
concerned. The book that is safely
behind glass never gets so dusty "a the
one in an open shelf. Most people think
the unglassed shelves, the built-in book
shelves are far better TO look at. But
still they give in to the demands OF
dustlessness usually, and have glassed
shelves. So much the better when house
cleaning time comes. The books must
then be taken out, wiped off with cloth,
and then replaced in the shelves, which
in the meantime have been thoroughly
wiped off and dried in the air.
III You have no glassed-in bookshelves
then each book must be thoroughly
cleaned There used to be clergyman
who said that each housekeeping time
his wife tapped each of the books in his
big library from cover to cover To clear
it of dust, and each housecleaning time
she made herself i'll breathing in all that
dust. The work might be less un-pleas-
antly done if you had the cooks carried
to veranda before you busted them.
They are sure to have harbored n good
deal of dust, even if the room they have
been in has been carefully busted every
day.
If your books are in a shabby condition
do what you can about having the
rebound Have n few done each wear
if YOU want to, TO keep the burden small
enough to bear easily. Or else, if you
can. reinforce the backs with canvas and
paste 1T firmly in place and reletter it
with the name of the book and the
author. At all events, remember that
a book that has begun TO go to pieces must
either be mended or else must be given
up as practically lost, for it doesn't take n
cook with loose cover very long TO
become book without any cover

THE FROG MAN-PART !.

Once upon time there lived girl
named Letta, who was an orphan and
lived wuth her stepmother, her father
having died soon after he married the
second time.
The stepmother treated Letta kindly
when her father was alive, but after his
death she wanted to be rid OF her because
she had daughter of her own and she
wanted all the money that WAS left to
spend on her own child.
Letta had all the work to do. In the
morning she would build the fire and cook
the breakfast and tidy the house while
her stepsister stayed in bed till noon.
Then the dinner was to be made ready

AUTUMN FROCKS

Among the new autumn frocks Of
the Lucille creation is an afternoon
frock of taupe brocaded charmeuse
The skirt gathered harem fashion at
the hem, is united to the corsage by
soft panels of charmeuse, which ex-
tend upward in front and back al
most to the shoulders, over a corsage
of taupe chiffon. The front left
panel is caught through a ring of
Oriental red cloth, bound about with
silver, to which is attached q cord of
red and silver. THIS, passing over the
shoulder, holds in place in the back a
harness of red and silver. the pendant
ends of which hang to the knees
White tulle threaded with silver and
girdled with green tulle forms an ex-
quisite dancing frock designed by
Lucille. Its underslip is Of filnay white
lace, which is revealed at the corsa ge
and again in the back beneath the
tulle skirt dra peries.
For Autumn Stro11s in the country
or motoring Lucille has fabricated a
charming coat and skirt of coral cloth
with a gilet of cafe-au-lait chiffon
embroidered in black roses; and for
street wear she has fashioned a dash
ing little frock of beige cloth girdled
with mahogany Oriental cotton cloth,
strikingly embroidered in gal fruits.
From Lucille also comes a tea gown
for Madame's hour of leisure. This is
of green crepe de chine edged with

BY MAKING CHILDREN
COMFORTABL

Mrs. Esther Lasner of Pittsburgh
wasn't thinking about money when
was wondering what in the world she
could do to make her baby comfort
able and to save work for herself, for
she had a year-and-a-half-old boy
who was continually squirming and
pulling himself around 50 that his I'M
derciothing constantly became disar-
ranged.
In fact. as Mrs Lasner says, 'T be-
came almost frantic pinning and re-
pinning the baby's clothes. There
was not only a, continual strain on
the pins, but they would tear jagged
rents in his shirts and stockings,
which kept me busy most of the day
mending and darning.
Finally, one night l lay awake
| until long past midnight thinking
about the problem and wondering
garment on the market that would
meet my needs. I knew that because
I'd been to every shop in town, look
ing for one. Then, suddenly. the idea
a little waist that would eliminate
all the adjusting that L and millions
of other mothers had to attend to. /
got right UP in the middle of the
night, went into the other room and
cut a pattern out of a piece of news
paper Later in the day I made the
first of the waists. 1t not only work
ed, but worked so well that friends to
WhOm showed II lnlIneuidLely walt
ed me to make some for them, adding
that they wished they could purchase
them through the stores.
LAS soon as I could find the time,
I made up a dozen of the waists and
took them in to the buyer of one of
the large Pittsburgh stores. He was
enthusiastic about them and, with the
backing of his recommendation, it
didn't take me long to secure the cap
itaI necessary for the starting of an
entirely new business
Now Mrs. Lasner's income is treb-
ling itself virtually every month,
while less than six months ago her
sole occupation was attending to the
| household routine in Pittsburgh.

HOW TO FILL OUT

ART IN A HOSPITAL.

Ihough conn aratively few women
have gained fame by being listed
among the "old masters''-or would
they pc called ttold mistresses? -
hundreds Of them have been recog-
nized as painters of ability But even
in this list it is doubtful if one would
ind the name of Genevieve Meakin.
for her art is of a distinctly individual
type, designed for scientific rather
than purely artistic purposes. In short
Miss Meakin has the distinction of
being one of the few ''dissecting room
artists in the world
Miss Meakin's artistic tenn permanent
came to her naturally, her uncle. l..
H. Meak1n, being an artist of interna-
tional reputation. It was not until
after she had gone through art school,
however, and had found that she had
a remarkable aptitude for almost mi
croscopic detail that the Cincinnati
girl conceived her original idea of
turning this talent into a novel chan
mel.
Photographs of surgical operations
as she learned, are seldom successful
because of the difficulties of penetrat-
ing the shadows and dark spots in the
human body during the time that
the surgeon is performing the delicate
task. Moreover, red photographs
black and thus adds to the general
dark tone of the resultant print. So,
| at first purely for practice, Miss Mea-
kin commenced to sketch bodies in
| the operating rooms of Cincinnati hos
pitfalls and then went to Johns Hop
kins to take UP the study of scientific
| art in earnest. Before she was q
| she was placed in a hospital on a good
salary and commissioned to sketch the
| details of the more complicated oper-
atoms, standing beside the pres din g
| surgeon as he worked and making
picture notes of, each incision. These
were then revoked and colored form
| ing a sort of TjctIJra
| entire process in order that other sur
| geons might follow the operation as
closely as if they had been present
My profession is not one which
| could recommend to every woman
| says Miss Meakin ''but from the pure
! ly commercial side it pays better than
| artistic art and is of benefit to hui
| mainly as Well"

TEA ROOM
IS ADDED TO
ART LEAGUE

An added attraction to the Bridge
port Art League this year Is the open
ing of a new tea room where de-
1cfous hot lunches, afternoon teas
and suppers will be served.
The newly purchased and widely
known Fotchkiss residence has been
converted into ideal quarters for the
league rooms and contains a coy
dining room with an old fashion ed
fireplace to be lighted on cool days.
In charge of this tea room will be
Mrs. Harry A. Lewis, the ever pop
ular resident of Black Rock, who is
well known in that section for both
her pleasing personality and capable
ness in conducting the Pergola tea
room this summer, which proved to
be a rendezvous for motorists, as well
IS local society. She is planning to
have yellow and grey as her color
schemes. Dotted Swiss hangings with
yellow Grapes will be used and yellow
tables and chairs. The walls are a
dull grey and will be frightened up
with attractive trimmings.
The place will be available for non
members of the Art League as well
as members. A separate entrance is
being arranged to be completed on
October 9th, which will mark the
opening day. Mrs. Lewis will be ably
assisted by experienced help
