JOHN LINDSAY GETS HIS OWN
DREAkFAST.

BREAKFAST.
|THE Lindseys' apartment was
strangely silent the morning
after Cecily Leland's eventful
party. Neither John Lindsay,
nor Philip Sheldon, his guest, had slept
well. So, of course, they oversight. 1t
was Shelly who made mad dash for a

He Numbered clumsily about Susan
Sues kitchen trying to fnd the coiIee

this part of their temporary winter
quarters, for Susan Sue did not care
for intruders in her domain. Indeed,
John scarcely knew where to find any
thing, and Merriam had lent so much
for Cecily's party that many things
were missing. He finally gave up the
search for the coffee mill. but he found

less. gotten enough crushed to start the
percolator. But he scratched his head
in perplexity after he had the coffee

came next. He spent several more pre-

things to set the table.
But he found, coolies Of food in the

Shelly strolled in just in time to see

eggs they advertise" Sheldon was
facetious. They stay put-cr did you
want omelette?"
"You can go to thunder" John told
him. He was burning the toast and his
fingers simultaneously. A hideous
smudge was in the air.
Sheldon threw an arm across his
friends shoulders.

MAKING THE HOME ATTRACTIVE
Window Draperies for Summer and
Winter.

The extra set of summer curtains is
necessity in every home. When
draperies come down the companion
glass curtains should not be called
upon to do extra duty by serving all
summer. They also must have their
vacation. in order to be as charming
next winter as they have been this.
It Is the more economical way, this
having winter and summer sets. Not
only does it insure longer wear for
both, but it is grateful to the eye, this
change. To live continually with the
same things about us Family exclud-
ed is tiresome.
The trouble with most summer
treatments for windows is that they
lack color--scrim, muslin or net is
bought, hemmed, hung and that is the
end of the affair. The redeeming
shades of the winter draperies are
eliminated.
Wise is the woman who plans to
mer as in winter. and today I want
to tell you Of some pick up" work
for these late winter and early spring
" eeks that will insure your home this
attraction.
The artist has pictured a window
treated with net curtains, on which
are cross stitched colored flowers.
Such work is simple and most enjoy
able, and IL you utilize your odd mo-
ments from now until summer in
fashioning these quaint window hang
ings I am certain their effect on your
rooms in summer will repay you.

wearer's feet are merely visible.
Negliges are made with extremely
wide sleeves, which, in many cases,
hang longer than the skirt.
Chinese green, amethyst, deep-toned

of the favorite spring colors.
The sport cape is being substituted
for the topeoat, and 1t may be made
Of Jersey, tweed or sport silk.
The very latest umbrella is Chubby

this was done he felt quite at home.
Then he started out to explore all
about within a short distance of
the old stump. He wanted to know
every hole and every possible hiding
place all around, for it is on such
knowledge that his life depends.
When at last he returned home he
was very well satisfied. 1T Is going
to be good place to live" said he
to himself. There are plenty of
hiding places and I am going to be
able to find enough to eat. It will
be very nice to have Jimmy the Fly
ing Squirrel for a neighbor. am
sure he and will get along together
very nicely. I don't believe Shadow
the Weasel, even II he should. come
eround here, would bother to climb
up this old stump. He probably would
expect to find me living down in the
ground or close to it, anyway. I
certainly am glad that am such
good climber. Now. If Buster Bear
doesn't come along in the spring and
pull this old stump over I'll have as
fine a home as any one could ask
for"
And then, because happily it is the
way with the little people Of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows,
Whitefoot forgot all about his ter
rible journey and the dreadful time
he had had in finding his new home.

Why. don't we let the college girls

Mrs Lindsay wants me to pack up
her clothes anyhow" she ended a
trifle viciously.
The poor youth was in such dis
tress that he actually did not notice
the increasing smudge until wild
pounding on the hall door brought
him to his senses. Several tenants
from the upper floors stood outside.
Here It is" called an excited voice,
There's no fire." John responded,
''unless-well, maybe. my coffee's
boiled over"
Boiled over" shifted Sadie Farrell,
the only one of the tenants who had
boldly through to the kitchen. my
sakes alive! It's boiled dry and the
handle of the pot is burning up!".
John seemed SO dazed that Sadie
slammed the outer door in the other
inquisitive tenants faces. She threw
open the windows and eyed the messy
kitchen floor.

Sadie eyed the dismantled apart

John thought that he got rid of
Sadie tactfully. But an hour later.
When the BlalS0ellS car drew up De-
fore the house, it was Sadie who ran
down the steps.

Outwardly calm, Nan Blaisdel spoke.
"Why, thank you. 1 think possibly

How One Woman Solved the Laun-
dry Problem,

This morning I received the follow
ing interesting letter from q distant
housekeeper to whom a subscriber Of
this paper mails clippings from this
column after reading it herself.
Efficient Housekeeping has been so
helpful to me that feel myself called
upon to pass on to its readers the
solution Of one Of my problems which
my fellow-sufferers. One of the buga-
boos in the life of most housekeepers
Is the disposition of the laundry. She
has the choice of three things: l. Hire
a woman to do it. 2. Do it herself
g. Send it to a public laundry. have
tried all three ways and know where
of I speak.
TO hire a woman nowadays is an ex-
pense. and to find a really competent
and conscientious one is not easy.
Then. 1t means that most of the IRON
ing is left over. and II the day is I'M
favorable the housewife must see to
most of the drying of the clothes on
the following day.
1.-THE second way-doing 1t oneself
is all right If one has an electric

abundantly healthy. sometimes she
saves doctors bills by not doing her
own washing.

laundry is. out of the question for
most Of US because of the expense. But

of the so-called bundle wash which
most public laundries now do? /

One kind they call rough dry and

Whitefoot Makes Himself at
Home.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Look not too much on that behind
Lest to the future you be blind.
-Whifefoaf thu Mood MouaA.


-Whitefoot the Wood Mouse.
whitefoot the Wood Mouse didn't
wait to be told twice of that empty
house In a tall, dead stump near the
homo Of Jimmy the Flying Squirrel.
He thanked Jimmy and then scam
pered over to that stump as fast as
his legs would take him. Up the
stump he climbed and near the top
had said that 90 one was living there
now and SO Whitefoot didn't hesitate
to pop inside.
It was empty, just as Jimmy had
said. There was even a bed in there.
1t was an old bed. but 1t was dr. and
had been in there for long time.
With little sigh of pure happiness
Whitefoot curled up in that bed for
the sleep he SO much needed. His
etomach was full and once more he
felt safe. The very fact that. this
had lived for a long time made 1t
safer. Whitefoot knew that those
who lived in that part of the Green
Forest probably knew that no one
lived in that old stump. and SO no
one was likely to visit it.
night. Whitefoot is one of those
who sleeps when he feels sleepy,
whether 1t be by day or night He
prefers the night to be out and about
in, because he feels safer then. but
he often comes out by day. So when
he awoke in the early morning he
promptly went out for a look about
to get acquainted with his new sur
roundings.
just little way off was the tall,
dead tree in which Jimmy the Fly
ing Squirrel had his home. Jimmy
was nowhere to be seen. You see, he
had been out most of the night and
had gone to bed to sleep through the
day. Whitefoot thought longingly Of
the good things in Timmy's store
house in that same tree. but decided
that it would be wisest to keep away
from there. So he scurried about to
see what he could find for a break
fast. 1t didn't take him long to find
some pine cones in which a few seeds
were still clinging. These would do
nicely. Whitefoot ate what he want
ed and then carried some of them
back to his new home in the tall
stump.
Then he went to work to tear to
pieces the old bed in there and make
it over to suit himself. 1t was an
old bed of Jimmy the Flying Squir-
rel, for you know this was Timmy's
old house. Whitefoot soon had the
bed made over to suit him. and when
