When Yot1
 

T OST motion is lost time, lost
 money and lost vitality. How 0 many of us cling to the old ideas of unnecessary details before we can really accomplish the final goal for which we are bending forth our eforts.
 Especially true is this of women who are called upon to travel. It seems second nature with woman when preparing even for two or three-day trip to go over her entire wardrobe and pick and pick. The "shall I take this or shall I take that" attitude consumes valuable time-time that should be applied to concentrating on the subject mat ter of the trip.
 There are many convenient and inexpensive. though good looking, overnight bags to be found in the shops, that the matter of packing should be a matter of only a few minutes.
 To-day when even the very small town boasts of an up-to-date drug store, one may dispense al- most entirely of spending time and thought on procuring the toilet ac- cessories before leaving home. Tooth paste, cold cream, talcum and like accessories can be purchased in miniature size. It is better to be on time for the train and purchase these little things after arriving at ones destination, for there is gen erally more time to spare after ar- irving than before starting, espe- cially on hurried business trip.
 The woman who learns to save the otherwise wasted moments of unnecessary detail will find that she has gained a valuable asset, for with this acquisition she will soon find that the nervous vitality for merly spent in anticipation of a trip was lost motion.
 An overnight bag, into which has been placed a gown, several hand kerchiefs and a soft, one-piece dress, will suffice. if the trip be a short one. It is really a tempta- tion, when packing a bag, to put in just one more thing. Avoid this and take only what is necessary.
 On arrival, all other necessities can be purchased. UndertS:ags can either be washed in the room or clean things also purchased and the others sent to the laundry. Quick laundry or tailor service will be found for the convenience of travellers in almost any town.

Preston" Kitty mumbled, raising her handkerchief to her fearful eyes.
 'T'm afraid I don't" Mrs. Pres ton retorted icily. "But since Howard is such a child-the sort of child I've had to mother ever since we've been married-I feel it's my duty to protect him from his own folly now. It may seem a selfish motive for me to cling to Howard, but 1t is for his own hap piness," Mrs. Preston went on.
 "I want to see him happy, above everything else. If believed he would find happiness with you, my dear, I should be perfectly willing to step aside and give up my hus- band to you. But would you be pre- pared to make sacrifices for him similar to those I have expe- rienced"
 Kitty did not reply. She walked slowly across the long room to the window which faced the garden. Her thoughts were a maze of con- fusion. Mrs. Preston watched her keenly, then repeated her question once again.
 q love him-I adore him,-I can't help itl" Kitty exclaimed suddenly, flinging her hands across her face. Then she came forward and re- garded Marion Preston with the frankness of expression which en- sues after the relief of confession.
 q know-I know" Mrs. Preston said slowly. i've known it for a long while, my dear. Wives de- velop a sixth sense with which they protect the home. A wife need not see or hear to know that she has lost her husbands love to another woman. But there is grave' problem to be considered"
 And that?" Kitty asked quickly.
 "It Is the future of our baby daughter" the older woman said with emotion. "We owe every sac. rifice to her."

 So that was it?
 Being the head of large beauty establishment he surely earns an uninterrupted vacation once year. I told him he should have stayed on, regardless.
 'Yes," he sighed, "but women, like time and tide, wait for no one. They take care of their hair and skin all Winter, and then, during the Summer months, tear down all the good they've accomplished. Then they come running back just before the season opens to be made beautiful again. It's a hard l1fe."
 He sighed again. -.
 "Here now" said. "You know you don't feel that way about 1t. You know you're as proud as pouter pigeon because so many beauties refuse to be served by any but Monsieur Felix"
 "Well, if they think I'm so won derful," he countered, "why don't they let me have a rest? Some day I'll up and die, and then whatll they do?" '
 "You look as if you'll last a season or so longer" replied. "So, stop fretting and tell me how you're going to erase Old Sols af- fectionate kisses from the skin and hair of the fair ladies"
 Monsieur Felix viewed his salad with alarm.
 "Holy smoke" he exploded, you'd wake me from the eternal rest if you wanted information I wish they'd fire you so could have a little comfort. I might have known your invitation to luncheon had a string tied to 1t. You're a ruthless woman and Pm getting in digestion,

Back to School

FOR children returning to school l the luncheon they carry with them should be nourishing as well as palatable. During the Summer months light salads and sandwiches suffice, but cool weather brings a demand for heavier foods to keep the energy of growing little bodies at it's best.
 Starch foods are essential. These can be offered in the form of potato chips, rice cookies, cold cornstarch buildings (which can be carried in cardboard .containers) and wheat bread.
 Cheese is a most nourishing food, but because it IS such a concen- trated form of proteid, it should be combined with another food con- taining cellulose. Lettdce, chopped parsley, celery, olives, cabbage, apples or other fruits are excellent foods to combine with cheese in making the appetizing sandwich. Eggs come under this same class of concentrated proteid and should also be combined with one of the above cellulose foods when prepar- ing the children's lunchbox this Fall.

BakedSausages

THE family will appreciate the =. l sweet tang of baked sausage
 when the first crisp days arrive, < especially if this delicate pork flavor is combined with apples.
 0 On a greased baking dish place
 the sausages in rows. If sausage meat is used, it should be moulded
 into medium-size patties and set -~ on the pan. Between the rows of
 sausages, cored, unpared apples are
 placed. The inner hollow of each apple is filled with raisins, which -' have been mixed with sugar and e' cinnamon. Bake in a moderate z oven about three-quarters of an hour and serve the sausages and
 apples on the same dish when they
 are brought to the table.
 - If a complete plate meal is de- = sired, sweet potatoes can be par
 boiled and placed in the baking dish with the sausages and apples.
 Leftover sweet potatoes should be pared. cut in thick slices and set 44fn the baking pan about ten min
 utes before the sausages are done.

Hints for the
 Business Girl

A WHITE collar and cuff set can A freshen a worn frock and add an attractive note to the costume.
 Do not overlook the necessity of physical exercise after long day at the office.. A brisk walk in the evening will improve your circula- tion and induce restful ,slumber.
 Keep a daily calendar on your desk and jot down tasks to be done in the future. This plan relieves strain on the memory.
 Some of the employers judge the efficiency of prospective em- ployee by her hands. Make certain your finger. nails are attractively manicured, but not too highly pol ished.
 A fresh, keen mind can be kept keen by keeping regular hours.
 Train your thoughts to follow straight lines to a conclusion and your work will be easier.
 Doing just little more than is required in your job is one of the surest paths to promotion.

"The best thing on earth to re. move tan is a buttermilk compress, followed by a clay Pack," he said. It only accentuates the tan. Rachel Is an excellent shade to use."
 Thanks, kind sir" I said, calling for the check, land now if you'll tell me how to remove freckles I'll promise not to bother you again for two or three weeks anyway"
 Massage" he said, pushing back his chair. "A little peroxide cold cream on the fingertips during the massage will make the freckles fade away in week or ten days"
 Here Monsieur Felix moved to go. But T. detained him until he told me what to do for sunburned hair. I'll tell you about 1t next week.

ing of your own troubles and help me out of mine."
 "All right. ire away" he grumbled.
 "Wen, in the first place, how are you going to relieve these ladies of the tan they've been burning into their skins all Summer"
 Monsieur became professional as he dropped a sugar into his coffee.
 "The best thing on earth for tan Is a buttermilk compress and a clay pack The face,r first, should be washed with soap and warm water, then rinsed with Gold water. The buttermilk congresses are ap- piled without drying the skin. A large piece of cheesecloth Is used. folded several times, yet left so that 1t will cover the entire face. This is then dipped in buttermilk, and with. out being wrung out laid on the face. It should remain on five minutes and then be replaced with a fresh compress.
 After four or five applications the face should be rinsed again in clear, cold water. The same treat ment is given the neck and arms. This is followed by the clay pack. Any reliable clay will do. Cover the face, neck and arms with a liberal coating and let it remain on for an hour. The clay is re. moved by moistening it with cold water, and then washing 1t off. The face is then dried andsa vanish ing cream massaged into the pores. A few treatments should have the skin fairly well bleached out.
 And finally, tell your readers not to use light shade of powder.

 There had never before been any
 Illness in his family. He had

 He dropped to his knees at Cherries bedside and watched her
 closed .eyelashes flicker with pain. A terrible sense of protection urged through him and he reached y forward to grasp the little agonized body close to his heart. Suddenly, he remembered Marion's warning not to disturb the little patient, l. and fearful that his wife had seen his gesture, he turned impatiently. The room was empty of all ex- .cept his child and himself. Mrs. Preston and Kitty had gone be- : low, so gentle in their tread that ZGha had not heard them leave.

About Blankets

nON'T wait for the really chill O days of Autumn to think about blankets. Doubtless you stored away your heavier bed, towering early last Spring, and have not given 1t another thought during the warm days of Summer.
 Blankets should never be taken directly from the storage closet and placed upon the bed. Each should be carefully shaken free of dust or camphor and hung .out to blow in the September sunshine.
 Woolen blankets should be emersed in warm water to which has been added sufficient shaved white soap flakes to make a tub of rich suds.

THE new evening gowns offer
 delightful possibilities for
 the slender silhouette. Gowns are essentially simple and straight of line. Yet the silhouette Is al tered at various points to. lend the grace of stylish line to what might become a monotonous up-and-down line.
 At the left hip, a wide, perky bow of taffeta is attached to a simple gown, affording an attrac- tive trimming. Where a wrap around skirt joins its other sec tion at the front, the closing side can be shirred into a charming drappery and hooked to the hip by a brilliant buckle.

 s. Below, in the long drawing room = of the home which Mrs. Preston's z kind neighbor had turned over to them during the emergency, Marion Preston faced her rival. The girl knew now, instinctively, that Pres- tons wife was cognizant of their a'affair. She felt that she was fac ling a tragic situation. But, unable stto avoid it now, Kitty nerved her self for the ordeal.
 q understand, Miss Martin, that you're taking my husband from - me-and from our child" Mrs, Preston opened the conversation.
 Kitty looked away, her eyes searching for some tangible object on which to rivet themselves from the searching gaze of Preston's wife.

circular or pointed as individual fancy dictates. Many of the new panels of georgette or chiffon which adorn the dance frock are shirred into an oval at top and permitted to float from the founda- tion skirt in billowy effect. Some of the panels dip slightly below the hem line of the skirt so that the light penetrates only a few inches of the trimming at bottom. The panel, which appears on the skirt is opaque until 1t reaches the bottom. This surprise note is what makes this type of panel truly interesting.

 know one clever little woman who has built up a splendid business by mending business mems clothes. She Is an expert at darning, and by a commission arrangement with sev,, eral local laundries she Is kept well supplied with work. Can you bake especially good cakes? Your neighbors might care to have you bake for them. There Is also the onportunity of earning extra money by attending children several days a week. Since you own your own home, you might arrange one room as a general nursery where neigh bors can leave their children uhoer your care for nominal charge per hour. Perhaps you could arrange to do embroidery for one O. the oe- partment stores. Making fancy famp shades Is also another ap4 preciable art for which the local art shops pay well.

 Make a solution of pure soap studs and warm water. Set the dress in this solution and dip 1t up and down so that the soap solution penetrates every part of 1t. Turn the folds of the dress occasionally Rinse out the soap with clear, warm water, plunge the garment into a cold bath and wiring. Hang in dry place until dry. Dampen and press with warm iron.
