A CHARMING AFTERNOON FRocK

Cross-stitch embroidery is very ef-
fectively used in voile frocks.
AS welcome as the flowers in May
and almost as varied-are the lovely
afternoon frocks that come troop
Ing In at the same time. They
are the beloved garments that reflect
our Joy in the good old summertime,
and they do It by means of many
dainty, colorful fabrics. Some of these
are not used at any other season-so
that there is great diversity of style
and beauty In summer frocks for
leisure hours. Crepe de chine and
other crepes, foulard and various print
ed silks, taffeta, satin, georgette. lace
net, organdie and voile, together with
Iovelty fabrics, make up the inspiring
company of mediums used for gowns

dignified model-a plain and an en-
broidered crepe. The movement
toward fuller skirts is to be noted in
the shirred apron front. bordered with
the embroidered crepe. Back of this
there are panels of the same mate
rial, which also serves to make the
front of the bodice and the deep. far
ing cuffs on the sleeves. A girdle of
plain crepe is provided with a telling
color note in the handsome beaded
ornament placed at the front. Both
narrow and wide beaded girdles are
important in afternoon and evening
modes and an elaborate girdle (beaded
or otherwise) lifts an unpretentious
frock into the formal class.

THIS pretty frock for a little girl
i who is about to take part In some
great occasion, as wonderful dane
ing party or a wedding, is one of
many equally delightful dresses de-
signed for the younger girls. 1t just
happens to have charms of its own that
are little different from the charms
of others of its kind.
Georgette appears to be almost un-
rivaled for little ladies' dress-up frocks,
with taffeta next to 1t and fine voile
In the running. Georgette and narrow
satin ribbons assume all responsibility
for the beauty of the frock shown here
and have made a fine performance.

Among delightful new arrivals there

posts panels For fewer posts a
shorter strip can be used or the posts
can be separated In greater distances.
The binding post panel can be
mounted at the rear OF the Dashboard
by using two small brass angles of
the type which can be obtained at
most hardware stores or which can
be made very easily at home.
One leg Of the angle should be an
inch to an inch and a half long and is
the one which is used to fasten the angle
to the Dashboard. The other leg should
be as long as the binding post panel
is wide, in this case q of an inch. and
should be provided with a hole to
correspond to the end of hole of the
binding post panel. II you cannot
obtain these angles you can make
them very easily from strips of brass.
Mounting Of Binding Post.
The binding post panel can then
be mounted at the rear of the base :

In mounting the panel and placing

to cut a rectangular hole in the back

be such that the binding post panel will
come fuf1sh with the outside surface
fthe back Of the cabinet.
This makes a very attractive and
handy arrangement of the r mattery
binding posts which permits the bat
teries to be connected and discon-
nected very easily.

MANHATTAN DAYS AND NIGHTS
BY HERBERT COREY.

NEW YORK.--Whoever named
Firpo the Wild Sull did him a wrong.
The Argentinian throws no bull at
all and he isn't wild. He is a tame,
businesslike, common sense person
possessed of unusual candor Now
that he has lost that puzzled glare
his eyes used to shine blankly like
those of a monkey in a dark cage
| and has learned a little English, he
is developing into a very likable
person.
DO you like the United Statesr'
he was asked.
No" said Firpo. Tho converse
ton is condensed. Il do not like
| the country. / like some Americans,
| but not many. The food is punk.
But, Q boy. the money-and I'm fight
ing for money"
like that better than il he had
told US he loved us.
Romance isn't confined to fiction.
In the past 10 years. 20, perhaps 40,
novels have been written in which
| the scene Of love and murder Is laid
in a deserted mansion on the Long
Island shore. Nose Of us have. re-
fused to believe there are any de-
serted mansions. Or at least any
mansions that lack beiligerent care
takers. But here's the proof that the
One of the bootleg gangs made its
headquarters at the genuine deserted
mansion near Montauk Point Fine
old wine cellars harbored the Illicit
stun. The bootleg boats landed
alongside the deserted dock. The
smugglers slept in caves in the near
by cliffs. 1t was raided in a riot that
sounded like the Battle Of Prague.
The bootleggers are low order of
criminal, of course But they are
doing wonders for our authentic
American literature.
Speaking Of authentic literature, a
friend has just returned from a visit
to-well, darn II, Provihcetown. Why
shouldn't I give the name? She said
that she feared before arrival that
she had not brought enough clothes
But when l saw the wife Of a
prominent author walking down the
single street bare-footed, wearing
ragged pair OF boys knee pants and
a torn shirt I knew I had brought
too many"
Great laughter was produced At a
dinner gathering Of the more or less
authentic literati when a bon mot Of
one of the authentic fishermen was
repeated. A reporter from Boston
had hailed the fisherman for informa-
ton.
DO you think that Miss So-and-
so"-naming lady whose account Of
her struggle out OF the clutches Of
darkness has just been published and
highly paid for-"can see me?'
Dunno" said the fisherman. ''She
can If she amt too drunk"
Somehow the gossip in these parts
seems to clot about the topic Of boot
logging. But. apart from its more
or less universal appeal, for those
of US who are not being reformed
are trying to reform the others, It
has a zip and go and pep that others
lack The mornings papers report a
battle on the high seas, In which the
steering gear Of a rum boat was shot
away. A $4,000 cargo was taken
from a truck in the citys outskirts
by hijackers. A veiled advertisement

How to Arrange Battery Binding
Posts.

How to Arrange Battery Binding
Posts.
One OF the problems OF tho amateur
radio constructor is the best method
OF arranging battery terminals for
most efficient reception and construc-
ton.
with the possible exception Of A
battery binding posts and the antenna
and ground posts Of the set which can
bo conveniently arranged on the
front of the panel. all battery binding
posts should be placed at the back
or the set so that the leads from the
terminals can be attached to the B
batteries at the rear of the cabinet.
thus hiding the unsightly batteries
behind the cabinet
considerable amount Of the risk
OF burning out tubes can be eiimi-
mated by placing the A battery posts
on the front panel SO that even
though the batteries are not con-
hected properly at the back. there will
be no chance of burning out any
tubes. 1t is also advisable to use the
engraved binding posts now available
which make 1t very simple matter
TO connect the battery terminals
properly.
These binding posts are made with
ncn-removable heads and with a hole
drilled through the shaft as shown
IN the diagrams below. This hole
makes 1t possible to get very firm
connection to any wire threaded
through 1t and clamped into place by
tightening down the head of the post.
Made for Panel Mounting.
They are made for panel mounting
so that they cannot be screwed into a
wood Dashboard 1t IL therefore
necessary to provide a subpanel for
mounting them at the rear of the
Dashboard.
"A simple way OF doing this is
shown below. A binding post mount
ing panel Of the type which can be
obtained at most radio stores for
about 25 cents is used. These come
already drilled.

Old Man Coyote.
Bowser the Hound knew now why
he had been left tied to the fence on
the edge of Farmer Browns melon
patch. A shadowy form was moving
about in the melon vines Bowser
knew who it was instantly. He knew
it was Old Man Coyote. The hair
lifted along Bowser's back and neck.
With roar of his great voice he
sprang forward. The shadowy form
OF Old Man Coyote moved swiftly and
disappeared. Bowser plunged after
him. The line by which he was tied
to the fence brought him up so sud-
denly that he was pulled over back
wards. Once more on his feet he
tugged and pulled and strained at
that line. But it held fast At last
Bowser gave up, and growing softly
went back to his bed of straw. But
he didn't go to sleep again. No, sir +;
he didn't go to sleep again.
The next night Bowser was left in
the melon patch tied to the fence as
he had been the night before. He
understood now what it all meant.
Nothing happened until along toward
morning. Then once more he saw the
Shadowy form OF Old Man Coyote. AS
before, he rushed after Old Man Coy
ote as far as the line would let him.

yond the length Of that line that dog

the melon patch the line by which
Bowser was fastened would allow him
to cover. He knew that within this
half circle he couldn't hope to get a
melon. But there were melons outside
that half circle, and these Old Man
Coyote visited one after another until
he found one that suited him. This
he soon tore to pieces, greedily swal-
lowing the red, juicy inside. He
gulped 1t down. for he was in hurry
All the time Bowser was tugging at
the line which held him. and barking
as IL he would bark his head off. Only
few feet away was Old Man Coyote,
paying no more attention to him than
il he didn't exist. But Old Man Coy
ote was keeping watch of Farmer
Browns house as he gobbled that
melon. He suspected that the noise
Bowser was making would bring
some one to see what it was all
about. 1t was just as he swallowed
the last mouthful Of melon that the
door Of Farmer Browns house opened.
Old Man Coyote disappeared like
gray ghost.
