TNBLEACHED smuslin has certain
 Iy come into It's own this season
 From second class sheeting, It has jumped into the class of a tavorite art natessaL There seem to be diver opinions as to how its popularity start ed. but whatever the primary reason for the vogue of unbleacl1ed muslin may have been. the little fudge apron cer- tafnly helped matters along
 The fudge apron is still going strong, not only to wear when making candy. but when attending corn-roasts and other similar outdoor functions The applique work on the apron determines which function it Is to grace
 Now, we have the most ia ascfnating tea and luncheon cloths made of un- eaeached muslin. with colored linen hems turned back on the right side to form q border that is coussed or feather stitched in place with black silk or linen floss The appliqued mo- tifs are of the linen, finished with the black floss, and are of conventionalized fruit or flowers or just arabesques. Sometimes, two or three other colors are used in the design besides the one that matches the border. The covers are round. square, shaped like a Greek cross or simply made into long run ners and shorter cross runners to use under the long ones.
 Again, unbleached muslin is used for Kitchen curtains, bordered and banded with checked ginsham, and with lit tie runled or plain lambreQuin at the top as a finish Stenciled borders are also done on the muslin, for curtain use, in colors to match the decorations of the room in which they are to be used. Two other odd fancies are bid ding for popularity. One of these Is the adding of bands and ruffles of colored erEandies in making up the muslin into bedroom curtains. The other is the ad- dition of oilcloth designs. appliqued on the muslin. then piped with colored linen. The effect of this use of oilcloth with the muslin Is odd, but rather at ractfve if the designs are not too big
 For nursery use, an unusual set was made recently of unbleached muslin with a quilted border of linen animals. Before the animals were appliqued in place, a little cotton stufring was tucked

I have been going with a young man of the same age as myself for about fourteen months, and we were engaged to ,e married. I loved him, and we Lot along SO nicely together making ouy rlans for the future. and he seemed so interested and lssved me also.
 All of & sudden he changed and lost interest. and commenced to go with other girls. and when I asked Him what had done to cause this he only said nothing, and that he didn't see any harm in going with other girls. He always carried my picture Tn hIs watch, and when I saw that he cared less for me I asked him to take the picture out and also the other DIG ture he had of me and return them. but he refused. Then I didn't see him for three months, and found he still had the picture in his watch.
 I asked him again about it. and why he persisted in carrying mat picture when I wished him not to do 30. He said that he was not that kind of a man. I don't feel that 1t is right to expose my picture when he

 This fine woman, who was born into the Gurney family of Norwich, Eng. married at twenty, a plain Friend. Jo- eeph Fry, and moved to London.
 Although she became the mother of eleven children, Eliza beth Fry always managed to find time to help others and to do much work among the poor. So successful were her efforts in this char tty that a gentleman once asked her to go with him to visit Newgate prison. He wanted her to see if she could not do something to better the conditions of the women prisoners there.
 Newgate was first visited by this noble woman in 1913. At that time there were three hundred women and thea

to light the fallacy which long ago
ceased to be subject of controversy
in California, Illinois, New York,
New Jersey, Wisconsin and other ad-
vanced states. That fallacy is that
money can be saved by building So
called low cost highways to serve
heavy volumes of passenger and
freight transportation. Mr.. Herrick
should have back of him in his stand
every thinking citizen of Ohio, for
without the slightest doubt his policy
is one designed to save the tax-pay-
er's money in the long run"
Upkeep is What Counts
The cost of "a mile of road is not it's
first cost but its cost per year of use
ful life. The cost per year of a mile
of public highway sis computed by
adding the. interest on the original in
vestment in the construction to the
annual cost of maintenance and an
item representing depreciation. The
simplest economics indicate that it is
folly to build cheap roads destined 20
rapidly disintegrate under the in
creasingly heavy traffic in order to
cut down the original Investment and
the corresponding item of interest

charge per year, while at the same
time enormously increasing the cost
of maintenance if the road is to be
kept in serviceable condition, and
also increasing the annual deprecia-
tion charge.
"The Ohio State Highway Depart
ment's records for 1921 indicate that

the highway income for maintenance
and reconstruction alone. Unless
steps are taken in accord with Direc-
tor Herrick's policy of heavier con-
struction on main routes, the tax pay
ers of Ohio are going to be swamped
under road repair costs as the result
of the on-rush of highway freight.

transportation acreage amounts to an
approximate total of 100000 acres.
Estimated in monetary terms at $500
per acre, it was further found that
the highway transportation plant of
the State of Ohio involves a sum of
something like $36,OOO,O00- $6,000,-
900 of which applies to the main
thoroughfares.

check up on unnecessary expense. To

for trying to make that transporta-
