blue are combined one reaches the
height of fashion. 1t is only accord
ing to the times that child should
follow the side trimming on hat
which falls downward. for she has
omitted only very few fashions
that have been designed for her
elders. This may be in revenge. As
suredly the elders have taken much
from her, such as sandal slippers,
short sleeves and skirts. bobbed hair
and socks although the latter is not
always admitted.
There is an agreement between
those who fashion juvenile apparel
to bring about a season of colors.
All white is in the background. Pas
tel colors are not the only ones ad-
vocated. Bright red is used in milli-
merry and for ribbons that stream
from the neck or the wrists. There
is an effort to bring black into promi-
nence. 1t may succeed next winter
to some extent. but it is too warm
looking for summer days. After all
mothers in general arc not inclined
to it.
If one adopts ttc patterned fabrics
they should be sheer. even in silk.
and the figurations should be small.
Bold designs overwhelm tiny figures.

A Letter About Shoes.

Some time ago I talked about re-
ducing ankles and mentioned that
wearing high shoes kept down the
size of the ankles. In answer to
that article I received letter. which
interested me a great deal. The pub
lie health. committee of the Iowa
Federation of Women's Clubs has
been creating demand for better
footwear, for shoes that nave "a
straight innerlne, low heel. broad
toe and flexible shank. These shoes
have been approved by various as
sociations-the Y. w. c. A. the Amer
lean Medical Association. and others
and shoe merchants in cities where
this propaganda work has been car
ried on report that they can hardly
keep enough shoes to satisfy the new
demand.
This is gratifying news to hear:
have been predicting the end OF
the fad for pointed toe shoes for two
years l think / said couple OF
years ago that in two or three years
we would be wearing sane toe

SteWed Mushrooms.

This is by far the most economical
way of cooking mushrooms. for all
:oe atarxs can ne uses. ana in addition
tine sa,ice makes them go farther.
Take half pound of mushrooms,
three-fourths of a pint of milk. one
tablespoonful of -four. one table
spoonful of butter. salt. pepper and
lemon juice. Peel and stalk the
mushrooms. wash them quickly and
examine them carefully. Put them
in a saucepan with the milk and let
them cook gently until tender, mix
the -four smoothly and thinly with a
little cold milk. then add this thick
ening to the mushrooms and milk
and stir gently over the fire until it
boils we'll and thickens. Season to
taste with salt, pepper, butter and
lemon juice. Serve OF a hot dish
garnished with fried hfead.

measure life by your personal gains or
pains. just so long You'll be bound
within the walls of yourself and end
in misery and obSCuritN. That's what
happened to Caesar and Alexander.
They couldn't climb out Of themselves
and see over tn" heads of things. so
they ended in the ruck.
But If you can rise above tn" things

bird's-cyc view of life as part of tho

Of power and the world is your melon
You do not have to be learned or
famous to do this. I have found this
power in desert folk and old hunting
dogs. A puppy will squeak or play
at every flea or pat. but an old hunter
keeps his nose to the trail despite the
burs in his feet.
l have a hunch that if n man could
really master this truth. sin and sick
ness and sorrow and death would give
him the once-over and pass him by.

Johnnie think of the hospital where
he had been when he had his tonsiis

Johnnie's mother had a little basin
Of white cotton sponges which she
had made and pinned into squares of
old linen and baked in the oven until
the outside covers were almost
scorched. This meant that they were
sterilized And when she unpinned
them she was very careful not to
take them out of the package till she
was ready TO use them, which also
interested the little boy.
The grandmother watched, as inter-
estedly as Johnnie.

Bobbie Shoots a Bear

He was determined TO kill the bear
because he was afraid OF It. But
the bear. Ike the bird and the rab-
bit, simply fell over on it's side and
laughed as hard as he could. He
held his fat sides with his paws,
and be shook ali over with laugh
tar. The more shots Bobbie fred
the harder the bear laughed. The
tears rolled down his hairy cheeks
and he laughed until the woods
rang with the noise
Poor Bobbie sat down, half angry
at all these laughing animals. Hun
dreds of other little animals had
come into the little clearing to md
out what all TIC laughter was about
They sat IN a circle and stared
while the bear ard the rabbit and
the bird writhed and squirmed and
shrieked ard roared Finally an old
COW ambled up from a nearby field
and stood chewing her cud and
looking with scoTn at the laughing
crew. Bobbie aimed his rife and
shot the placid COW; and in q mo-
ment she, too. rolled over and
shook with laughter. But she could
not chew her cud and laugh at the
same time; so the poor old COW be-
gan 10 choke The other animals
stopped laughing and looked at the
gaspiEg COW, wondering what they
could do for her. They slapped her
broad back and they rolled her
from one side to the other. but stili
she choked and gasped and gagged
and rolled her eyes. The big brown
bear helped her to her feet and she
stood there trembling and shaking
and trying not 70 laugh. BY and by
she recovered her breath and her
cud and trotted back TO her field.
and as she went she gave q loud
Moo to indicate her satisfaction.
AT the sound of that Moo" Bobbie
sat up and rubbed his eyes IN,
front OF him stood the COW, chewing
her cud as quietly as though she
had never choked with laughter.
Bobbie picked up his rife and start
81 for home. He thought OF the
COW and how funny she had looked
when she lay on the ground gasp
ing and choking with laughter. and
the bear, holding his stomach. and
the little bird laughing little. chtrpy
laughs. and the bunny laughing
with no sound whatever. and at the
thought OF them all Bobbie himself
laughed all the way home,

Bobbie took his new rife into the
woods with him. His mother had
told him that ne must not shoot
birds with II, but that IL he was
careful ne might shoot at targets
SO he trudged along through the
woods whisLIng a tune and hoping
that the birds would not fly too
near because he might be tempted
70 shoot them The sun was warm
and the air was soft, and soon Bob
bic lay down under q tree TO rest
The little birds came and piped
S1ng Just over his head, but ne
felt no desire to shoot them be-
cause they sang such q soothing lit
tie lullaby His head dropped and
his eyes almost closed, and within
a few moments he was fast asleep.
And now 6 strange thing hap
pened. Robbie suddenly found him
self trudgfng along the woodland
path and yet, as he looked back, ae
could see himself still asleep under
the tree. There must be two 81
ne" said BObbia to himself. But
such things often happen in dreams
so it didn't worry him. A fat little
bird few over his head and alighted
on a low bough. Bobbie. forgetting
what he had been told. took aim
and fred. The poor little bird fell
over backwards and Bobbie hurried
forward to examine TIE corpse He
nearly fell over himself when he
discovered that the bird. far from
being dead, had fallen over back
wards because he was laughing 50
hard he couldn't hold himself up
Before Bobbie had time TO explain
the mystery to himself. he heard A
rustic in the grass, and saw little
rabbit sitting on its hind legs, star
ing at him. Bobbie again aimed his
rife and fred, and the rabbit tum-
hIed backwards. Bobbie hurried
over to IL and found that the rabbit,
ike the bird, had tumbled over be-
cause he was laughing so hard.
Poor Bobbie didn't know whether
he, too. should laugh or cry.
At that moment both the bird
and the rabbit stopped laughing
and stared into the woods just back
Of the spot where Bobbie was
standing. Turning Bobbie saw
