Evening Frock For Y oung
 Girl
HHERE are a great many summel

THERE are a great many summer
 social functions for the young
 girl that demand a variety of eve ming apparel. Especially the school or college girl must have several new frocks.
 One suggested is a simple affair to make and can be used either as an aft ernoon dress or for wear in the evening. There is a slim slip of satin crepe in pale warm gray that is straight all the way down and as short as is fitting. Light gray dyed lace shot with faint silver threads makes the ruffles that form the rest of the dress. At the ba- tean neckline is a deep flounce of the lace held in by binding of blue moire ribbon. The same sort of ribbon, only wider, is used to make the sash which ties perkily at one hip in huge bow.
 The skirt is covered with rows of lace gathered to make ruffles. The bottom ruffle is placed at the direct edge of the hem so that there is a trans parent bottom to the frock. This de- sign would be admirable if made up in black satin and black lace for a dinner gown.

"Ha! Then we will go right to my house and get. some out of the magic cupboard m the crooked legged man said.
 In short time the two came to the new house of the crooked legged man and went inside So Raggedy Andy held up his rag hand for his friends to stop.
 We will slip up quietly to the doorr' Raggedy Andy said, then when hold up my hands we must all rush inside the house and surprise the crook ed legged man and the Snickle 70
 So all, walking upon their tiptoes, slipped up to the crooked legged mans house and stood waiting for Raggedy Andy to give the signal for them all to rush inside.
 But just as Raggedy Andy was about to lift his head as a signal the door

SINGING TONES.

Speaking Voice Needs Same Range Of
 Tone
 A good speaking voice 'sings." The tones come out exactly as they do in singing, except they are not so sus- tained. A good speaking voice, too, needs range of tone, just as the sing. ing voice, does, That is, your voice must not play one or two notes; it must have variety of tone; it must not be monotonous. Tones, indeed, say as much as words. Modjeska, it is said. could recite the Alphabet with such emotional tones that her healrers would weep.
 Do your tones speakAa we'll as your wordsl A good test of your power to talk with tone is to. try the alphabet, numbers or the syllables "a, la, la," and see what you can convey of fear, sor- row, anger, apprehension, surprise, calm. interest, and so> forth. When you try this exercise, notice if your tones are shaky or not well sustained. If they are either, it is because you do not breathe deeply enough or use the breath properlyssto make tone. To de. velop power in sustaining tone, try chanting and intoning. Take for prac. tice one of the psalms. My soul doth magnify the Lord" tLuke l, Al. Take full breath for each word and hold the tone through the words. Then speak and hold the same open-throated quality in the speaking voice.-Deline- ator.

 When they quit rolling the crooked legged man and the Snickle cried 'Wowr' and, jumping to the.r feet, went galloping away through the bushes, not stopping once to look behind them.
 "Well" Mrs. Mingle said, T won der what happened"
 T don't know!' Raggedy Andy said. They seemed afraid of something, didn't they?"
 "Ha, ha, hal" the magical hobby horse laughed as he heard Raggedy Andy's voice and came to the door, Il guess they were afraid!" Then be- cause the Raggedys and their friends did not know the cause of the fright,

CHAPTER iee

TT happened as Marian had feared
 On the Saturday following her first
 dance with Harris he asked her to dance with him again. ee
 This time he did not wait for Roscoe to second his request. Nor did Marian hesitate as she had done before. She knew that she must submit or imperil her job. But when, later in the same evening, Harris introduced a friend of his to the girl, she acknowledged the in- troduction by a curt nod and started toward her dressing room. The strang- CT detained her.
 Miss White" he protested, "do not hurry away! Since you favor Harris surely you will not refuse meT II must" she said coldly. II am too tired to dance again just now :"
 She did not wait to note the effect of her words. After her final performance Roscoe summoned her to his office. T wish to speak to you, Miss White" he began. Tt is about Sunday | evenings. We arranged to let you have Sundays off. l have decided, however, that l would prefer you being here then, even if you have to stay away one week night. Sundays my best cus- l toners come to dinner or a late supper and I want to give them my best attractions"
 Marian replied with a decision.
 Il am sorry not to oblige you. But I really must have my Sunday nights to myself
 Even as she spoke she remembered how dull her Sunday evenings were in her small room at her lodging house. YeE-she had not been able to break agay from the traditions of her child hood.
 Il don't see why one night would not be as well as another for you to rest or amuse yourself" the manager in- sisted. But, as you hesitate about the matter l am willing to make it worth your while to come here on Sun day. l will pay you more for that evening than for any other. And" with a smile, "the extra money will come in handy soon. For, while we are talk ing on this subject l must remind you that before long you will need a new costume. The red dress is pretty-but you should not wear it all the time. A change is necessary"
 Shs knew this only too well. She had thought of it herself. If she took money from her regular salary for her new dress it would be difficult to send the usual weekly sum to Lois, and to pay for her own board and lodging. Yet she swould not yield. She did not know why she could not bring herself to do so. But she could not.
 "I cannot come on Sundays, Mir. ROs' coe," she said firmly. II am sorry"
 "So am p the man said gruffly. T am also sorry, Miss White, that you did not dance tonight with Mir. Marcus the gentleman MT. Harris introduced to you. It would not have hurt you"
 "I was tired" she began, Then im' pulsively-"And did not agree to dance with anyone except you, Mir. Roscoe. prefer not doing it."
 If that is so you made mistake in dancing with Mir. Parker" the man re- minded her. "What applies to one customer applies to another"

 "Thank you, hobby horse!" Mrs. Mingle said. Now we must put the cupboard upon the wagon again and hurry away before they returnw So in few moments the Raggedys and their friends were far down the path, leaving the mean little crooked legged man and the Snickle far behind.

 Forced by conditions, which the town council of Tybee, Ga, regards as shock ing, vigorous steps were taken stop the practice of dressing and undressing in motor cars, an ordinance has been pass ed prohibiting the custom and imposing severe penalties for violation.

Raggedy Andy went ahead through the deep, deep woods and behind him came Rag gedy Ann, Mrs. Min gle, Mir. Mungle. the Thingum and the Zum- zee.
 They were following the crooked legged man and the Sniekle to the mans new house where he had taken Mrs. Ningle's magic cupboard and the mag ical hobby horse.
 It was very easy to follow the crooked leg ged man and the Snickle, for they never once suspected that our friends had found the magic door which led out of the mans strange little house.
 "Ha Raggedy Ann and Mrs. Siihgle and their friends will never get out of my house i'' the crooked legged man laughed to the Snickle, flor they can never find the little magic door which leads down to the brook !"
 And we shall have the magic cupboard all for our very own !'' the Snickle laughed, "I could eat a lot of cream puffs right now

 old days it was nothing unusual for some member of his club, someone he knew in business, to drop in for an hour or so to smoke and chat with him.
 This was all changed after he came back from France and we had to give up our home and move to small quar- ters. When I spoke of it, said his friends no longer came and wondered why, he told me that he had not asked them since his return and that he doubted if they knew where he lived.

Because the squash bug is a large sized insect, most amateurs think that it must eat the leaves and therefore be killed with poison gpray. The fact is, however, that the squash bug obtains it's nourishment in the same way as plant liee-by thrusting it's long probos. cis into the veins of the leaves and sucking up the juices. r. is so hard shelled that it is not readily smothered with nicotine. It is said that corn cobs dipped in hot coal tar and placed around the infested plants will do much to keep .the pests away; but the approved method is to place a few shingles around the plants at night, with the expectation that the bugs will take refuge under them and can be gathered up and destroyed in the early morning.
