fade ou, slowly but surely-and not
50 very slowly at that! BY the end
of summer. hangingS, cushion covers,
and dresses had more the appearance
of sickly invalids than anything else.
Then came the turn for the better.
At first there was only one fabric
that was guaranteed to be sunfast,
and that was expensive and appro-
pirate for hangings only. Little by
little. other materials began to ap-
pear on the counters of the shops.
Not very much choice in pattern, per-
haps and only limited selection in
weight. 1t wasn't what we wanted.
but 1t was all We could get.
But now-oh. joy. Every possible
tone and shade of color. in weights
varying from the sheerest voile to
the heaviest brocade-and all guar
anteed to be sunproof and laundry
fast. If they fade. the manufacturers
will not only refund the cost of the
material but pay the cost of making
the finished article. Dainty ginghams
finish of poplin, raw silk and mercer
rottons: beautiful striped silks and
brocaded satins for hangings de luxe;
heavy fadeless crash, for outdoor
uSe-all sorts of beautiful color vari-
ations and combinations. So far !
have seen no large variety Of patterns
or all-over figured grounds. and no
sunfast chintz or cretonne-but these
will doubtless follow as the sunproof
idea develops.
There are several prominent firms
making these guaranteed fadeless
fabrics. The shops carry different
makes of them and the advertising g
pages call eloquent attention to the
trade names. All you have to do is
to inquire of the house-decorating
. and dress-goods departments of IA
vorite big stores. pick out the ma
terial that pleases you, and then
start in for a satisfactory summer
with fabrics that keep their color
through rain or shine.

THE OPEN FIRE
-(Ry Roland T. Pattenl

lBy l(OldHu l. lHlituj
It is said that monkeys will gather
around fire left by the departing
traveller. expressing evident satisfac-
ton of its warmth. AS it burns out,
however, they will not add fuel to
keep it going, although the ground
nearby may be strewed with an album
dance of it. Moaning and whining
at the dying embers they will watch
them disappear not knowing how cas-
lily they could prolong the joyful
flame.
The name of the man who discoy-
cred fire and thereby conferred per-
haps the greatest boon and happiness
on the human race is not known.
From earliest times the use of burn
ing materials for all benfcient pur-
poses and the admiration and love for
glowing embers have been as univer-
sal as any human trait.
The individual who has not looked
into glowing Goals or leaping flames,
in setting of forest trees, star
sprinkled sky and shadowy waters has
not lived a complete life. Most of
us know the joy of The open fire in

A real fireplace of stone or brick
Is desirable, but the glow of burning
wood from Franklin stove or from
any burner with an OPEN front will
do very well. Around such a hearth,
whether it be simple or elaborate, the
household gods will gather in increas-
ing numbers as the years go by 1T

years at least must pass and some
lireside gatherings know its warmth
and cheer before the hearth can take

place which has become sacred as
the center of the home for at least
one generation is a very impressive
thing. At such spot, with the gen
tie light of the flame spread about
the room and the voice OF the fire to
take the place of conversation. even
the dull mind takes wings and is
given power to renew the past with
its appeal as to joy and sorrow. and
to prophesy the future

EXERCISE
by r. T. Patten)


Change seems to be the order oil
things throughout all nature. A body
of water, even of considerable size
having no inlet or outlet, becomes q

Let man, no matter how rugged his
health, go to bed and stay there and
he will become an invalid at the end
of a week. After fortnight, should
he try to get UP, he would have diff
Guilty in standing. A continued use
of our muscles is necessary to keep
them in condition.
In developing the human body
nature sets some very peculiar limits.
We tend to use the same set of mus
cles day in and day out. Along side
of or mingled with them are others
which are rarely or never called up
on. The used muscles develop
constantly but they finally reach a
point where Development ceases, no
matter how frequently they are called
into action. If. at that time, by
some system of exercise or change OF
vocation, the unused muscles are
brought into play, their development

Recital of Mrs. BOrden's Pupils

The piano pupils of Mrs. A. B. Bor-

BPW Club rooms, Tuesday evening.
Forty-fiye performers rendered de-

ing in ages from seven to ten years
There were also advanced pupils who
played. The numbers were varied
and the entire program proved a de-

the young people and the skill OF
their instructor. Refreshments OF
ice cream, cake, waters and punch
were served and each pupil was pre-
scented with a dainty Maybasket OF

commences and, what is more inter
esting and strange, those which had
reached the apparent limit of de-
yelopment will pick up again and
grow in size and strength. 1t Is
natures way Of showing that the body
must be developed symecrically.
She will not permit one set of muscles
to increase in power indefinitely I'M
less the ligaments mingled with them
are also brought along.
Fortunately we take a good deal of
exercise without being distinctly
aware of it. Dressing. eating. walk
ing about, even thinking. are exer-
cises of a sort The most of us have
household tasks that call for a good
deal of muscular and some' mental
effort Most of us too. are in work
or vacations which require still
further daily use of the body and
mind. 1t is true however, as already
referred to, that we tend to make the
same motions day after day and suffer
to some extent because all through
the body there are muscles which are
never properly exercised.
If you should call at the home of
laborer who has been shoveling coal
all day, suggesting to him that he
could benefit by swinging Indian
Clubs, he would take you to be crazy
and you could never convince him
otherwise. Nevertheless, he could
benefit by club swinging or in any
carefully Thought out system of sim
liar exercises. In jambing his huge
shovel under the coal hundreds of
times during the day and in swinging
the weight of material from the car
into his cart, he gets comparatively
little variety. The muscles he makes
use of become hard as iron: those un-
used remain soft and tender. II he
took to club swinging and gymnasium
work those unused portions of his
body would develop greatly to his
advantage.
Within the past year or two there
has come upon the market a set of
exercises designed by physical in
struetor to correct the muscle def
ciencies. They were well thought
out and have become very popular the
country over. Other similar sets
have followed These are in the
form of records which can be played
on the Victrola and other like instru-
ments. The fact that the movements
are made to music increases the like
| lihood that they will be enjoyed and
persisted in. They are undoubtedly
of very great benefit to those who
make use of them. Better appetite,
better digestion, better sleep and n
general feeling of strength and
spritelness result Perhaps the
strangest thing is the new attitude of
mind which one gets toward humble
tasks. After going thru with these
exercises to the music of the Victrola.
one can clear out the ashes from the
heating plant, with better grace.
This task and many another, ordinar-
lily looked upon as irksome, appear in
the light of helpful exercise, becoming
interesting and enjoyable for that
reason. There is good deal in
habit of mind anyway. If one could
truly appreciate the benefits to be
derived from saving wood, that
operation would come to be looked
upon as a pleasure rathep than druid
gerry.
The edict of the Garden of Eden
is altogether justified, that man
should earn his bread in the sweat of
his brow. Those who have been able
to avoid it at least find that bread
acquired in anyother way has very
little relish.
