THE ARCHED GARDEN SEAT


The city couple had gone out to the
pretty suburb to spend the week end
expecting to find a house set in am
pie grounds and dotted with trees
and garden beds across a spreading
! Lawn.
What was their surprise to find
that the quaint little loW-lying cot
tage was set upon quite as narrow
plot of ground as their own city lot.
a fat little line of hedge separated
them from neighbors in similar cot
tages on either side, and there was
no room on the patch of grassy earth
between the house and the pavement
for anything more than a few br hit
ANNALS up against the porch.
When the guests had removed their
wraps. however. their hostess led
them out through the dining room at
the rear of the house, through a
French door which had been cut
down. from one of the windows, and
then down a short flight of steps to
an equally diminutive back yard. But
what charming wee spot was this
same back YARD. At the end of the
small flight of steps bricl<ed path
led down the yard to white arched
arbor over which a rambler rose was
trained Here two small seats faced
each other. and beyond was tiny
old-fashioned garden, filled with all
the flowers that will grow in the
shade. A little iron table and two or
three wicker chairs made a delightful
retreat. invisible from the street,
and here. Just beyond the arch
through which they had passed. the
party had tea.
The city woman gazed around her
why, YOU haven't any more space
than we have in the city," she ex-
claimed. why couldn't I make a
beauty spot of my little back yard

ra bbit, a ruffled grouse. moose meat.
elk meat, deer meat, sheep meat, in

meat into pieces about the size of
inch cubes.
Save the bones. especially the snar-
row bones, to put in with the meat.

Put the salt and pepper in just be-

When the burgoo is done, strain it

1t is most unwise and unconven-
tional for engaged couples to appear
too devoted in public. 1t is true that
"all the world loves lover" but no
one feels comfortable when two
young people are constantly in each
others embrace, kissing or sending
love messages across the room. 1t is
not only embarrassing for friends and
relatives. but they feel that they are
in the way. and that the young people
would much prefer to be alone
In reality the girl merely wants to
show every one how much she loves
the young man, while the young man
desires every one to know that this Is
the only girl for him. However, this
Is not the way to demonstrate ones
true feelings. People of refinement
and sincere deep feeling prefer to
control their emotions and do not
give public demonstrations of snug
Cling and kissing.
This does not mean that an engaged
man and maid must appear stiff and
stilted OF as If they really did not

couple who are congenial mentally,
who approve of each others thoughts
and deeds and outwardly express this
approval The tender. thoughtful
nance OF Ilancee Is always appreci-

The fiance owes a certain courtesy
and cordiality to his fiancee's friends
and must Away see that they are
happy and enjoying themselves when
any affairAis given. But he must
take care to be charming to all girls
and not to- single out some especial
young woman. The fiancee must also
guard against this. To dance with
one man more than the rest, to sit
certain dances out with the same
man merely gives people chance to
talk; therefore, the sensible engaged
young woman is equally charming to
all young men and bestows no favors
to any but her fiance.
The modern young man and woman

SHOULDER SHAWL OF PRINTED
SILK


You can find more uses for a
square of silk than you have anv
idea about until you try. You can
make dark dress look bright and
snappy merely by the use of it. You
can trim a white dress with just its
interesting folds. You can protest
your shoulders from summer eve
square about your head to keep your
hair from blowing about in ali d.
rections.
Now shawl may look formidable
and you may be wondering what
shop will produce the one you like

essary consideration and see how
you can make one for yourself and
in about a minute and a half.
All of the silk counters in the
shops are sfilled with gorgeously
hand-dyed Batiks and others are
embroidered stuffs that come by the
yard. A square of any one of these.
from the simplest to the most elab-
crate, will make lovely looking
scarf shawl. You can hem the edges,
braid or you can use wide or a
narrow fringe for a finish. Some
girls are making these little old-
fashioned shoulder things Of challis
because they have certain warmth
about them. Others are using plain
and brilliantly colored silks with
contrasting edges.
A pretty way to make a shawl is
to use one color for one side and a
contrasting shade for the facing.
Say you have a deep orange crepe
ana line 1t with an old blue. You
have there an interesting color
combination and a shawl with a bit
OF body and warmth at the same
time.
