up of the house party, Louise had an
adventure which resulted very uneX-
pectedly-to Louise. She had been
trying not to feel envious as she heard
the other girls telling their plans.
Despondently, She left the others
at last and wandered down an over
grown path into the ravine which ran
for miles, tisecting Glen mountain.
Careless of distance she rambled on,
never doubling her ability to retrace
her steps in a place where trail was
more or less plainly evident.
Now in the mountains, when the sun
sets, it sets quickly-simply drops be-
hind some peak and Is gone. Sudden.
ly, to her bewilderment, Louise found
that she was being envelOped in twi-
light. Hastily she turned back, and
was amazed to find that, while appar.
emily there had been only one way to
come, several trails offered themselves
for her return.
Startled and realizing that she was
on the verge Of undergoing that dread
full experience, being lost in the noun
tains, she sat down on lichen COW
cred rock to recover her thoughts.
Lost in the mountains! Well, Il
search party would find her ultimate
ly. She wished she had left word that
she was going down into the ravine.
Hlrk! What was that? Was it the
wind in the trees, or did she family
hear voice? Trembling a little with
apprehension lest she was mistaken
she made trumpet Of her hands and
called. Somebody answered. Again
she called-acain the answer, nearer
Then followed the rustic of trampled
underbrush, and dim form appeared
on the edge of the precipice.
A moment later her hands were i'm
prisoned in those of Bob. "The girls
missed you and 1 had hunch you
were in the ravine. I've walked miles
along the cliff calling"
Louise started to speak--chOked--
then managed to get out: Nothing
ever sounded as good rs your voice"
at was a voice on the mountain
top for fair" he hummed. Then: "We
must get back and relieve the anxiety
Of the Others" he said. 'But first,
am going to take advantage Of this op-
portunity when I have you to myself
TO say something. I love you, Louise;
I love you!"
"Why-why-but Peggy?" gasped
the girl.
"Don't breathe a word" he said,
"but I'm hoping Peggy will be my
sister. She Is as good as engaged to
my brother Tom, who Is coming up
in August"
Louise couldn't speak for sheer hap
plness.
"YOu remember the next woris Of
the song you sang?" went on Bob.
"Iet us all unite in love- How soon,
dear, can we unite in marriage? Ny
whole family are in love with you, aS
we'll as I, and there isn't bit of use
in wasting theRest of the summer"
SO tcnderlyl lhe looked at her that
Louise capitulated utterly. Besides,
what n choice she had to make! A
furnished city room In August, or
Bob and the mountains!
"I'll marry you whenever you say"
she promised.

Nations at Odds Over Skirts.

How long is the skirt?
The eternal question, 1t has been
the query OF several seasons--an eter-
nity as far as fashions are concerned.
The internal question: problem,
it has demanded the services of the
cleaverest experts on both sides the
seas and the solution-evasive still.
A dangerous question! Two nations
at odds. over the answer fair France
and the U. s. A.
France, the home of the brave and
the free, sartorially speaking: France
the mother of sons and daughters who
have ruled fashions variable waves
and winds for so long, deCrees-and
arbitrarily-that the skirt shall be
long.
Comfort? la, la. What matters that
where chic is concerned?
Grace? 'Tis desirable and possible,
almost always But when not-well
why let little thing like that stand in
the way of lines that, unpleasantly ac-
ccntuating ones lankiness as they may,
are yet fully compensated for by their
strict following of the mode, TO the
very end
Cleanliness? Well, 'tis deplorable of
course should one pick up a germ on
the trail, but ones mind should be
above matter, even in close dusty sub
ways or the wind d-swept street.
Common sense? Pouf What an
old fashioned notion!
Now the skirt that winds and winds
and winds itself about ones ankles,
and takes upon itself the duties OF a
duster for the curb may have its good
points, it undoubtedly has, but they
are not sufficiently numerous nor
weighty 70 induce America TO adopt II
universal y and without reservations.
1t is ain to be seen. even by the
most casual observer, that the far
American is developing a strong sense
of dress and determination to eX-
press it in her own way.
Comfort-with the American woman
has come to be Il thing to be con-
sderCd at the same time and with
equal interest as chic. She has proved
to her lasting satisfaction that the two
are compatible and combinab,e.
Grace? She does not lose herself 50
in the artistic Interpretation of the
word that she fails to see the ungain-
lineSs Of too much length in the wrong
place. on the street, for instance or on
the field of sports.
Cleanliness? To her nothing is more
n-appealing to contemplate than a
grimy germy hem.
Common sense? She is cutivating II.
That it's old-faShioned hothers her
not a whit Twas not long ago she
learned hal Old fashioned things are
not so bad, after all.
Perhaps it is not just fair t" mention
il here, but 'tis said the American
woman has far prcttier ankle than
her Partisan sister. and so, why
shou' 'dn't she show it?
At any rate the consensus of opin-
ion as expressed in meeting of rep
resentativc women from every walk "i
life. held recently at the offices OF that
un;iring student of fashion psychology
John j. i'IOhcrty. in the Bush Terminal
building. WAS that the long skirt II
America is not to have things all us
own way. 1t may queen it upon the
ballroom floor. perhaps be in the ma
jority ON formal afternoons. but foI
the most part, Nliladv will add inches
as suits her fancy to please herself

Sugar Savers.

BY using we'll ripened fruit for pies
or pudding one will need only ha'f the
amount Of sugar.
A pudding made something like gin
gerbread, only not so short, and steam
ed, will help out as dessert dish
during the sugar shortage. A sauce
can be made with molasses or corn
syrup, warmed little and favored
with lemon or spices
Sweetened and favored gelatins can
be had, which require only the addition
Of water.
Minute tapioca should be cooked in
water as per directions on package and
when done soma heavy syrup left from
canned fruit or berries may be added
TO color and swceten. Serve with
cream OF. custard sauce, ,
Ripe bananas sliced and served with
cream require only a trifle of sugar TO
make pleasing dessert.
During a sugar shortage housewives
should not overlook the fact that
raisins, figs and dates can often be
used for sweetening material in pies,
pudding, etc.
Pies and some cakes can be partly
sweetened with syrup and molasScs, or
honey, maple sugar or syrup.
Boiled rice, either plain or with a
few raisns in it, make very accept
able dessert served with maple sugar
Baked apples or apple sauce with a
little maple syrup poured on, served
with warm biscuits or fresh bread
makes a very nice dessert.

Timid Doe Bolts When For

FOR SEVERAL DAYS

Only one member OF the elk herd.

man dupont. has been thus far
transferred from the Senator's
Broolldale Farm, near Mt. Cuba, to
the Brandywine Park Zoo. This lone
member is the 45O-pound buck
which was captured on Monday. and
Il has the new enclosure in the park
TO himself.
Gibson and Jones, the two for
mer ranchmen, who have under
taken the task Of Transporting the
animals thought for about a min
ute yesterday they had another Of
the eleven elk rounded up. But their
hopes lasted only a minute.
BY dint Of hard work, the men
had maneuvered a young doe into
a small enclosure within the elk
pasture at the farm. To lasso her
and get her into a crate, they fig-
ured. would be easy. But the doe,
suspicious and frightened, suddenly
bolted straight at the fence about
the small enclosure and wei
through Il with the speed of the
wind
As a result Of the wildness Of the
herd. Gibson and Jones may be
obliged to give up their task for a
few days. They are. however, at the
farm today. hopeful they may corral
one OF the animals. at feeding time
in the shelter: but chances appear
decidedly against them.
