OF all those who had heard the
dreadful story of the Red Terror
on the Great Mountain as told by
King Eagle. and how the carciess-
ness of a man had started it. Mother
Rear and Mrs. Lightfoot were the
only ones who really shared in the
sadness of King Eagle and Mrs.
Eagle. You see. none OF the others

Mrs Lightfoot. Both had come
down to the Green Forest from the
Great Mountain and it happeneb that
both had lived on that side where
the Red Terror had eaten every tree
and bush and vine and Elant.

down deep. they had thought of some
day going back there. Now they
knew that they never would. Thera
was nothing to go back to but ter

long time there could be no living

They still had the beautiful Green
! Forest. but supposing the Red Terror
should come down there? And King
Eagle had said il might if the wind
should change. So sorrow over what
h=d happened WIS replaced by fear of
what might happen. and in this fear
all the others gathered on the shore
of the pond that Paddy the Beaver
shared Never had there been such
dreadful fear in the Green Forest
not even when hunters with terrible
. guns had been everywhere.

Many housekeepers prefer to make
double this quantity of icing and
put half OF it between the two layers
and the other half on top-thus OBJ
waiting the necessity of making a
separate filling. But to my mind il is
we'll worth while to take the trouble
to make the cream filling l have
given above (Which is somewhat like
a custard filling, light yellow in
color). as it gives a little more va
riety to the cake and is softer.
If the beginner wishes to be doubly
sure of success with the cccoanut
cream filling Chat is. sure mat it will
not catch and burn) she may cook il
in her double boiler instead of over
direct heat, allowing it to cook over
the boiling water for fifteen minutes

ton OF reward or punishment from
some wholly Imaginary source. Every
one of these familiar receptions tends
to ALLEVIATE the child's true affection
and respect for the parent who de-
ceiveS him.
The worst of all the statements par
ents make to their own children is
the one about the stork. for that story
Is told. not for the ch;ld's best inter-
! anybody any good. but purely for the
purpose of helping the parent to evade
sacred duty. 1t is a misstatement
that has far-reaching disastrous ef-
fects upon the psychology of the child.
or If mother and father can practice
that kind of deception how can child
put confidence in the revisions of the
yarn which mother or father may
feel impelled to make later on? Think
1t over. fathers and mothers. and
hope to goodness you'll give your own
to tell them the truth. the whole
truth. and nothing but the truth.
Think ii over, potential parents, and
resolve right now that il God does
bless you with children you will not

feel that there should be any such
wall Of deception erected between
mother and daughter or between
father and son.

PARIS FROCKS OF TAFFETA.
BY ANNE RITrENHOUSE.

=, what is new. what is comfortable
| The answer is simple. 1t Is That wide
skirts can be well developed in taneta
and therefore there are many one
return to Victorian styles. Such de-
signers as Paul Poiret are urging
| women to wear coat suits of taneta.
The latter idea should prove &C
ceptable to the American woman, for
our climate demands a coat suit of
dark material. thin and cool. rather
than frock of dark material.
Every woman feels the necessity for
placing next to her body garment
that can be constantly freshened
The moist hot climate for four
months of the year destroys the
purity of materials worn next the
skin.
If a thin dark gown can go TO tub
or cleaners, all very we'll; but II 1t
is of a fabric that will not stand the
cleansing process with frequency IL
is far better to adopt jacket and
skirt for street wear. 1t Will en-

waistcoat of white kid unde- 1t. one
embroidered with dark blue figures.
The blouse is eliminated. There Is
IA wide collar of the kid, by the way:
and the scalloped edges of skirt ana
jacket are bound with it.
Few Americans could stand the
discomfort of IL kid blouse on a

would be wetl liked in this country
if the vest was abandoned. and II
one does not care for binding oil

could be substituted.
The extraordinary fondness of the
French for a gilet instead OF a
blouse is beginning, however, to have
influence in this country. These
little waistcoats have short sleeves
that protect the jacket from mo st
ure, and they are not fashioned cX-
actly like Il waistcoat. so it is possi-

than a harsh line of dark fabric.

The Porch Party

A porch party is delightful sort
of informal entertainment for the
warm summer afternoon. 1t need be
no more than a gathering of neighbors
for a friendly chat over sewing and
embroidery, and the refreshments
need be no more than iced tea ana
cakes. But it may be made much
more elaborate entertainment. anS Is
an easy and pleasant way OF paying
courtesy to the guest OF some
friends.
To begin with. of course. the porch
party presuppoSes a pleasant veranda.
1t should he shaded from the sun if
it is not on the shady side OF the
house. Awnings. Japanese screens or
vines. which give it shade. also give
it lock of coziness and pleasantness.
Have enough comfortab able chairs so
that each guest may be pleasantly
seated II the guests have been asked
to bring their needlework have a
well-stocked work basket in evidence
with supplies of needles, thread
scissors. pins. taps measures. and
other sewing materials: and. for the
benefit of the guest who forgets her
work or who did not understand that
she was to bring any. have some
pieces of unfinished embroidery on
hand that she may have something
TO do with her fingers.
If.the party is not to be work
party. some sort OF entertaining game
might be planned 1t could be a
musical party. The piano should he
near window opening on the
vera nda. or if some member of the
family or close friend can play a
mandolin she might be asked to help
Give each guest small card and pen

Round-Shoulder Exercises.

There are two ways of getting rid
of a round-shouldered appearance.
One is to learn to sleep fiat on the
back without pillow, the other to
exercise so as to strengthen the weak
muscles.
AS you are probably asleep. or at
least in bed. for eight hours every
day. which is a third of the entire
time. you will greatly improve your
shoulders by learning to sleep with
out Il pillow, with the back straight.
Some people advocate that all beauty
exercise should be taken While
asleep--that is, you should never
sleep unless the skin has been freed
from the days dirt and unless you
are breathing fresh air. and so forth.
These have been accepted as com.
nonsense principles. but even ideal
:;eep will not make one beautiful.

less other things are also done.
Try this exercise: Stand with the
hands out in front of you and the
fists clenched. Bring the hands back
to the shoulders tensing the arm
muscles as though you were pulling
on a weight. Or, stand with the
hands in front Of you. fingers out.
open the arms sideways and con-
tinue the motion SO the arms go
back as far as possible. always keep
ing them on level with the shoul-
ders. Both these exercises should be
done about ten or twelve times every
day.
Incidentally. remember to keep the
shoulders back and chest high when
you \are standing or walking.

ture add as much rose water and
ave drops of benzoin to each ounce.
This combination will bleach the
skin as it softens 1t.
Bluebird.-Fluff the hair out softly
over the temples and upper part of
the ears. 1t may seem fiat for a
time. but it is in better style than
