should be taken to select one
which had no special up and down.
Luncheon sets made of cretonne
are also very good. but great care
should be taken in laundering these
sets as the dyes are rather uncer-
tain and 1t is hard to find colored
fabrics which will wash well. But
IL you will do them yourself you
will find that they will last long
time.
Linen-colored cotton crash Is
used by some women very success
fully for luncheon sets The par
ticular set l saw was made into
runners by cutting the crash, which
is thirty-two inches wide. in half
lengthwise and edging it all with
tatting of the same linen color. II
you prefer white, you can get
bleached crash and edge 1t with
attractive cotton braids which can
be bought in most any of the
shops.
French women always use up
their fragments Of lace and linen
in sets of doilies or table covers
or even in bed spreads
1 know a woman who inherited
among her possessions a quantity
of old fashioned linen and lace
curtains. She ripped them up and
remade them into lovely table
colths, runners and scarfs.
Another had supply OF old linen
skirts. She, too, ripped them up
and evolved two lovely luncheon
sets made of real linen.
1t is certainly wonderful how
much we have learned about be-
ing economical and to use our ma
terials on hand.

 'Last evening before I went to bed I was reading book called Sunshine Susan. It was about woman who just made up her mind to be happy no matter what happened. Then her husband was brought home with broken leg, and the two children had number of measles simultaneously, and the house burned down, and the bank in which she had deposited her savings closed it's doors, and in spite of everything she went around singing and dancing.

 Mir. Curfew had been trying to bor- row my savings for long time, offer ing to give me his note as security, and before I read that Sunshine Susan book always refused him, and nearly snapped his head off doing it. But that morning I was anxious to make every body happy, so I handed him the money. and he went and made ms horse trade and brought home an old crowbait that has been sick ever since, and he spends all his time out at the barn, feeding it pills and powders, and I can't get him to do any Of the chores around the place.

But I was in a sentimental mood, and when turned out the light and went to bed I thought that I ought to be ashamed of myself for not being like Sunshine Susan, and I made up my mind I would turn over new leaf first thing In the morn- ing.
 "So I came downstairs smiling, and I was singing all the time I was get ting breakfast, and when MT. Curfew came down he said it warmed up his whole being to see me in such cheer full frame of mind It reminded him of him of the time when I was sweet seventeen, and as pretty as a red wagon. Then he gradually drifted into story to the effect that he had a great opportunity to make the finest horse trade of his career. All he need ed was $7 in cash to close the trans action. and he would make at least $15 by 1t.

When Alaska becomes so cold that an ordinary Jersey COW would freeze solid without d struggle. the reindeer blows cloud of steam over his should CT and wonders when there9l be an end to Cue muggy weather. Nor is the rein deer dependent upon corn filled silos and cotton seed meal for his winter ration He asks only chance to get out on the frosty ba arren, where he can scrape the snow from the frozen moss, and he'll obtain his own ration for the long eight months of cold weather, These are the attributes which make the reindeer the domestic animal Of the natives of Alaska, to whom some form of animal industry is essential.
 Realizing the economic importance of this unique animal, the Bureau of Biological Survey United States De partmcnt of Agriculture, has establish ed an experimental station at Unala- kleet, Alaska. The new station has a grazing expert and veterinarian in its personnel and it is supplied with a
 well-equiped laboratory. Its primary purpose is to serve the reindeer in- dustry by assisting the owners to rid their herds Of parasitic pests which have inflicted considerable damage heretofore and to obtain better utili- zation of the pasturage by regulating the grazing lands. Crowding the herds into mited areas has encouraged the development of parasites and has les sened the reindeer's food supply. Re ports received by the department indi. cate that the new station is already correcting these troubles. It is ex- pected that bulletin on the reindeer

which the wanderers have brought back with them. Many of the fond mammas have slipped over to Paris this fall for a flying trip with their debutante daughters just for the pur- pose of purchasing their clothes.
 The buds this season will have particularly interesting time, for they will have the privilege of at
 tending not only the usual parties given for the "debs" but will have the privilege of attending the vari- ous White House functions and the many brilliant entertainments which will be given for the delegates to the armament conference. Rumor has it that the White House entertainments will be more varied and more numer- ous than ever before. All the tra- ditional White House functions are to be revived, I understand-the usual state receptions-in compliment to the judiciary, the diplomats, the congressional and the army and naval officers, and the various state din- ners. Then other parties are to be slipped in, probably a few musicales and even. dance or two. perhaps, for both President and Mrs. Harding are fond of that pastime.
 I am wondering what sort of din- --%Sf PdTlISS tIe cdDlHGI meuDGTS VIII give for President and Mrs. Harding this winter. The dates of those diu- ners are probably being settled right now or will be shortly. Three of the wives of cabinet officers have not yet returned to Washington but they will all be home soon now. Previ- ously the President ana his wife were not supposed to dine with any one except their cabinet officers and the parties were very formal official af- fairs with only cabinet members an their wives present. They all woul dine with each other until they were tired of seeing the same faces-they never admitted it, but they must have been-and finally during the, Wilson administration the hosts asked any, one they pleased; usually particularly interesting people, of course, to meet the President and his wife and con sequently the parties were much jol- Her. President and Mrs. Harding go even farther and dine with their close friends whenever the spirit moves them, though always more or less informally, so the stately din- ners this. season may be even less stately than ever before.
