TINE air Is full Of the talk of cot
= tons for summer frocks, both for
grownups and children. Rumors of
morning and porch dresses Of ling
ham. swiss organdy and plain cham
bray vieing with colored linens are
confirmed In all the recent displays.
Ginghams have invaded the realm Of
sports clothes also; the best grades
of 1t make handsome skirts for wear
with sweaters and sweatercoatS, for
oil sorts Of outdooring, and it Is found
in company with taffeta in pretty in
formal afternoon frocks. The femi-
nine public appears to be newly
awakened to the character and vir.
tues of their old fayorite in fabrics
and is demanding much of it. Nat
urally ginghams lead in the review Of
children's clothes
For the little folks very small
checks, combining white with a color,
small plaits and crossbars, in soft
colors, make up into dainty frocks.
White lawn, white organdie, rick-rack
braid and plain colOred chambrays are
called upon to furnish embellishments
and cross-stitch embroidery finds it
self very much at home on the checked
ginghams. Sprightly organdy frills
are as welcome as spring fiowersDon

Imnortant TO Mothers
NOT A GOOD BUSINESS MAN
Young Corn Husk Evidently Was
Never Intended for High Place
in Modern Life.

J. D. Rockefeller, Jr., said In Y.
NJ. c. A. address:
"The successful business man today
is one who knows how to choose his
managers. A successful modern bust
ness is too vast for any one man to
handle. So managers are essential,
and If these managers are badly
chosen, failure follows.
"The unsuccessful business man is
apt to depute authority to such crea-
lures as young Corn Husk.
"Young Corn Husk's dady sent him
to the mill one day to try to sell the
seasons wheat crop.
"Corn got hold of a miller and sub
mitted a handful Of wheat to him.
The miller examined the wheat care
fully. Then he said;
"'How much more has your father
got like this?
"'He amt got no more like it,
young Corn answered Tt took him
all morning to pick that out ="

heard something about her, but that
l didn't believe it, and that / stood up
for her like friend"
"Oh, you wretch" shouted Mr.. Wood
Elf. IF there Is one person I hate
more than any other in your abOmi-
nable and Objectionable and horrible
family, 1t is you"
II tried to do a friendly act" an
swered Mother Gossip's eldest daugh-
ter.
'"Of course she did," said Mother
Gossip. "This is very nice. And
don't sob, little girl, but come, tell
me all about it. Cohfide in me"
YES, you want her to tell you, so
you can tell her story and add to it
all around. l won't let you do that"
said Mr.. Wood Elf. I'll see to that.
Now, little girl, what really hap
penedY
The little girl had dried her q es.
II met this young lady," she said,
II mean, this old lady," for Mother
Gossip's eldest daughter now looked
very old. She was quite old, for that
matter, and Mother Gossip's children
look pretty old after they've been
seen for a time.
And" continued the little girl, af-
ter swallowing hard so as not to start
crying again, "she told Inc something
which wasn't true about me which
someone had said. And oh, felt
dreadful. She said she was telling
it to me for my own good. She said
she was my friend and that she had
stood up for me. But oh, I'm so I'M
happy to think such a thing was said
about me-"
Eyes" said Mr.. Wood Elf, "of
course you were, but you're going to
cheer up now and we're all going to
have a moonlight supper tonight away
from this horrible family. My two
companions are tired of them already.
They never were fond of such fam
ily not even of the ones they'd met
and didn't know by name. And as
FOR the Tattle-Tale Twins-well,
they'd be enemies with my compan-
ions If they knew each other forever.
II just have a few words to say to
Miss Make 1t A Point To Re-
peat-Mean- Things, and then we'll be
off.
"You know" he continued, pointing
his finger straight at Mother Gossip's
daughter "there Is no excuse for you,
not a scrap.
"You thought you were making your
self out to be very fine when you said
you had stood up for her, and that
you were telling it to her for her own
good.
''You thought 1t made you seem so
noble to say you stood up for her.
didn't you? I've my doubts about you
standing up for her in the first place
but that isn't the important thing
Anyone who is a friend will stand up
for his friend Or her friend without
saying so. 1t is quite unnecessary,
quite. And no person is a friend who
mean things
Il like the person who makes the
mean speeches even better than l do
the one who repeats them"
They left then for happier adven-
lures.
