YOU NEVER KNOW
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB A youn girl stood before case in a
 store And gazed at a gown. To her it was priceless-beyond her
 reach. Heart hunger and longing were hers And while she looked A beautiful woman came to the place. Not long after. While the girl fingered. She heard the clerk Record the name and address of the
 woman Who had bought the coveted gar And she heaved a sigh of sadness And wondered why the world was
 so wrong. That night the girl waited for him
 her sweetheart. She was sad and spiritless. Somehow the event of the day Had sunk deep into her soul. For whom she would needs wait so
 long To make his way. And pondering. scanned a paper
 the news of the day There before her came the name of
 the one W no naQ purCHdSeu the ureSS. An! me, what a story of woe and
 misery This one of the woman of wealth Whose husband had ceased to love
 her And turned to another. And how at last she could bear 1t no
 longer And begged the law for relief. There it was, the whole pitiful tale, And the girl reflected. An, better indeed to be secure in
 peace and love, Though in poverty and lowly state, Than all the bright gew-gaws Of the worldly world in turmoil and
 tears. And the greeting she gave him that
 night Was like no other.

 Some girls are electing to tie bands of ribbon about their heads for their boudoir caps.

WHAT MOTHERS
 SHOULD KNOW
By DIR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST

By DR. CHARLOTTE c. WEST
 When children are bathed freely at least once each day-kept cool and carefully fed. they are not so apt to suffer with skin eruptions; and this is doubly true when an occasional laxative Is given to keep the stomach and intestines sweet and clean Watch them most carefully in this respect, for therein lies the secret of healthy children.
 Exposure to the blistering rays of the sun may scorch your kiddie's skin and cause a painful burn. It Is well to be prepared for this and similar emergencies with a bottle of equal also some bandages, old linen or soft cotton cloths. This mixture may be used on burns of any description, from fire. acid, steam, etc.
 Prickly heat is caused by heat. Some children are far more suscepti ble to 1t than others, especially those who are plump. These youngsters need much care to keep the body sweet, clean and, above all. cool.
 An antiseptic dusting powder acts nicely in these cases. but the skin must be washed frequently with water and castillo soap, thoroughly dried of all moisture and only then powdered with powdered tale. four ounces, powdered boric acid, four ounces.
 Kettle rash is the same as hives. kl1 way it jumps from one part of the body to another. Hives are very dis agreeable things, and once having appeared are likely to break out sea- son after season. The condition may be caused at first by the bites and stings of insects; by wearing course underwear or from certain foods Oatmeal, berries. buttermilk, rice, sea foods, sausage, mushrooms are espe- 7 cially liable to cause an outbreak
 In weakly or unhealthy children the eruption Is more like pimple than a wheal In some cases blis- ters. as well as wheals forms, or the wheals become large blisters.
 An emetic (mustard water) is often followed by prompt relief. Empty the stomach and bowels with large dose of castor oil. Give milk of mag nesia for several days. The clothing should be light and cool. Sponge the skin with vinegar and water. or with a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda dissolved In a pint of water.
 Sometimes relief follows applica- lions of carbonized zinc ointment The following is an excellent lotion for hives and other irritating rashes: Phenol, 11 dram; alcohol. ounces camphor water. 5 ounces. Mop on the skin with absorbent cotton.

LIVING DOWN A PAST
By SOPHIE IRENE LOEB

A woman of 30 writes me a very pathetic letter in which she tells the trial of her life Is living down a so- called past. Past" in this case amounts to a mistake this girl made when she was not yet out of her teens. It seems to have clogged her entire life.
 Much of the trouble Is due to the action of her parents. The girl be- came veritable recluse on account of her sorrow. She was kept strictly with her parents during all these years, and had very little freedom.
 Now her mother has died and she is forced to go out into the world to earn her way. She wants to know if she Is entitled to something out of life besides drudgery and sad memo ries.
 When, oh when, will people realize that one has only one life to live and that pretty often worry over things that have happened and cannot be recalled gets no one anything but heartaches and hardship and very often hardens them until they lose the greatest of all the human ritage-happiness.
 Every person owes 1t to himself to try to be hapy, to try to get something out of life besides toll, struggle and worry. What differ ense does 1t make If you have made a mistake? If you profit by the mis- take, you will not make 1t again. Then, why pine and fret and worry out a miserable existence because of something that cannot possibly be helped.
 It Is bad enough to be a martyr for something that might better the situation-for example, if young woman should hesitate to marry in order to be with sickly mother. That is martyrdom and sacrifice, but why go through the other unneces- sary anxiety? There Is enough in the sufficient momentary bangs, without adding to 1t by constant remem- brances of something that Is past and gone.
 The thing to do is to "let the dead past bury its dead" Close 1t up as though 1t were a tomb-the grave of mistakes.
 No matter how many errors you have made, if you have honestly re- pented and realized them sufficiently to better yourself by them. then the one thing to do Is to face the future with hope. For hope is the element of life that is external.
 If you have sinned and made up for 1t by shining no more, the thing to do Is to go on as though 1t had never happened.
 No amount of self f-effacement or

drapings of lace or hangings of rib bon but that round, girlishness that tops off the youthful face so suc- cessfully. It Is easy to make because 1t is done from round piece of silk or net. ruffled about the edge. where slight rubber band helps to hold 1t in place, and finished there with 2 fluting of lace or & ruffling of rib bon. This can be snapped over way ward locks at any odd moment, and so satisfactory is 1t that 1t should be kept hanging along with any often used negligee or boudoir gown.

Each year we look forward to those interesting bits of sports ap- parel known as bathing costumes. We knew, early in the season, that the accessories would be elaborated with colors but we scarcely ex- pected the seaside horizon to be q veritable cloud of blues. violets, reds and greens, wing, 1t would seem, with natures own beauty.
 The large illustration today shows silk bathing costume, embellished with interesting embroidered parrots. The slippers ally themselves in de- sign with the cap, and there is color full plumage on the parasol which offers a picturesque note as well as a protection from the sun.
 Those exquisite printed silks, which began their career of popular ity as street costumes In the late spring, have been adapted to the bathing models. Their backgrounds must be of the finest silk to with stand the salt spray and still re- tain the color. Some of the silks have a batik effect to which an un- even tint adds beauty.
 The printed silk costume shown today combines beauty with prac- ticability and completes its design in a long, graceful cape, which swings fl om the shoulders. It, too, Is of the printed silk, boasting ribbon, rcsettes for. trimming and attaining a graceful utilization with the cos tune scheme by repeating this trim ming at the cap.
 Almost like the dainty Japanese coat which we wear in the boudoir Is the silk suit with its matching pantalettes. Two tones are admir- ably adapted to this design, the hem and yoke being stitched to the tunic with a silk crochet. A rubber ruffle of a dazzling shade gives softness to the features and offers protection to the eyes.
 The new type of French doll, shown herewith, Is nowadays much in evidence at the shore.

HIGH PRICED LITERARY WORK

H
 Huge sums of money have been paid in recent years for the memoirs of certain celebrated people. But this is not an innovation in the literary world.
 Winston Churchill was reported to get fs,0O0 down for the life of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, and Lord Morley got a check for f10.O0o for his Life of Gladstone" Rudyard Kipling has often been paid as much as a shilling a word for short story. It Is said that Hall Cane parted with the rights of "The Christian" for $500, and 1t Is certain that Marie Corelli has got at least as much for novel.
 Lord Macaulay got f2o.o0o for his | colossal History of England" the mand for which was so great that | the vans carrying it from the pub | fishing office blocked the street. Lamartine got f20000 also for his history. Victor Hugo got f60,000 for Les Miserables." and Daudet cracked the record with f4o,OOo for "Sapho."
 Even poets have made money. Tom Moore asked and got fS,000 for 'Lalla Rookh," and Tennyson for many years made f5,O00 a year.-Cleveland | Plain Dealer.

mental condemnation will help in any event. Turn your face to the east and greet the rising sun with a new day.
 All the unhappiness and weariness of carrying around your neck the weight of dead issue. Is just time lost.
 The one thing parents should do In case of this kind Is to try and make a girl realize that they have for given and forgotten. The trouble with most people Is that while they forgive, they do not forget and you cannot really forgive unless you do forget. The two go together.
 The best thing to do in living down a past, Is to live up to future.

Color in its most dazzling hues marks the bathing costumes of the current summer. Never before has such a wealth of design been used on those suits which we once considered merely practical ap- parel for surf bathing. Embroid- cry, silk stitchery, exquisite shades of silks combined in two toned ef- fects and accessories which har- monize gracefully with the cos tune itself; these are but a few of the details that make the bath ing costumes of the 1923 season nota ble.
