effect of the fashionable three-piece
suit. Or. the semi-dres blouse may

neck line than is the tailored blouse.
The true dress blouse, to be worn,
usually, in the evening, or for a
formal afternoon function, may be
quite ornate, and of a material as
fragile as you like, such as crepe,
chiffon or lace. 1t may be quite low
of neck, and is often entirely sleeve
less. But do not buy such a blouse
for business!
Finally, and in q class all to itself,
there is the sports blouse, the right

The sportss blouse should, above all,
be comfortable and easily laundered
1t may have either long or short
sleeves, according to which better

buy is plain and substantial, and that
there is no floating, ,ornamentation to

Fauorite Recipes of

BY EDNA M. COLMAN.
Chicken With Bananas.
NATALIE SUMNER LINCOLN.
Novelist and Editor.

Starting her writing career as So
ciety editor of the Washington Her
aid, Natalie Lincoln quickly found
routine work too tame for one Of her
creative trend of mind.
Up to date she is on her 18th mys-
terry story, which is just trifle more
than an average of one per year.
In the midst of this output of fiction
Miss Lincoln has also distinguished
herself in her editorship of the D. A.
II. Magazine. now of such Importance
to that organization. She finds her
novel writing most absorbing, since
she must work out all Of her mys-
teries to logical conclusion before
she attempts to write them.
Miss Lincoln suggests a novel way
of serving chicken, which she de-
-elares she has never seen employed.
save in her mothers house, and
which is in high favor with all
friends who have had the opportun-
ity to enjoy it.
Place the pieces of fried chicke1
around the platter and in the center
place three or four uncooked bananas
in thin slices. Pour over chicken and
bananas white cream sauce very
hot. This sauce slightly cooks the
bananas and when the whole Is gar
nished with parsley and served no.
it makes a delicious and distinctly
novel dish.

THE GUIDE POST

Limitations.

Hitherto shalt thou come, but no
fnrther.-Job 38:l1.
1t is not only the sea to which God
has set limits.
Everything has its limits; even hu-
And yet men will go on acting as
IL there were no end to their personal
possibilities.
One of the first signs Of intellec-
tual maturity is the recognition Of
limitations.
/. The city feller may rather fancy
himself In the garb OF q cowboy. So
far it Is nothing but dressing up.
But let him not forget that the
work OF a cowboy is only for him
who has something in him which is
not native to all men.
The go -pouhder wwill not mako a
distance runner; nor the 1l0-pounder
= foot-baller.
No man is yet found who can re-
main continuously awake. or who can
escape the need Of foodsand drink
In reality, 1t is the part of cow
ardly egotism to refuse to recognize
the limits of human nature, and in
particular our own limitations.
There is no need to be apologetic
about such limitations as are inherent
in your nature unless you are fail
bilities you have.
For the first step in overcoming
limitations Is to recognize them.
Even II you can't lift a rock with
your arms and back kyou may have
brains enough to use a lever.
The result is the same.

In the shops. Cannot we compromise
To my mind, clinging woolen
dress or skirt is the last thing In the
world to wear on a trip during the
hot summer days-August days
especially. Between the warm plush
car seat and the suit skirt there Is q
vicious conspiracy against the COM
fort of the traveller. Her garments
stick maddeningly to her, and make
her fairly seethe, she knoWs-not why
Silk, on the contrary, y cool, un-
sticky, unclinging, and sheds dust
at a breath Of air. The serge suit
holds dirt with vicelikke grip. Sure
ly light wool coat should meet all
the requirements If the day should
grow cooler; so for PHYS sake wear
simple one-piece silk frock whether
you travel by train or motor; elbow
sleeves for older women, aud some
sleeve. If only a little. for the young
girl and matron.
As for gloves, which olds-:swomen
generally want to wear even II the
washable chamois or doeskin gloves
all summer long. I say. The fabric
gloves are neither SO good -lodk1ng nor
SO comfortable, as they look lass like
"quality,' and they are not 20 soft.
Doeskin is a delicious, pliab3S mate
rial, and chamois Is comfortable, too,
provided it is washed properly. In
fact, all gloves Of washable skins
have to be cleansea~ in a. special way
to keep them unshrunken,ss3yelyet
soft and mellow in color.
To wash gloves en- route, firsE make
soft soapsuds In the bowl by rubbing
the soap briskly between the hands and
dousing them in the water. Put the
gloves on the hands, and with your nail
brush dipped In the thick suds gently
scrub or the, dirt. 1t will come of
easily. Let the water run out, take OF
the gloves and rinse them loosely in q
fresh bowl Of water or under the fau-
Get. Then comes the real trick. Crush
ing the gloves in your hands, rub them
thoroughly with the cake of soap until
they are so slippery you can scarcely
hang on to them. Squeeze all the water
and soap you can. out Of them, blow the
fingers full of air, then pull them gently
into shape, blow gently again and hang
the gloves up in draught Of air. They
will be dry very soon and as soft rs
baby's cheek. The soap doesn't hurt
them q particle.

Cuffs Assuming New Importance
BY MARY MARSHALL

Whoever it was that invented the
large cuff nit upon a device for max
ing the hands seem small-much
smaller than they appear when worn
with arms bare. Lately we haven't
thought much about the size of our
hands. One of the first requirements
of the heroines of fiction is no longer
to possess hands of fairylike pro-
portions. In fact, some fiction writer's
even go so far as to endow their
heroines with hands that are frankly
large. though of course they take care
that the large hand is fairly slender
and white. No fiction writer has yet
appeared quite brave enough to in
troduce heroine with hands that were
broad and red,
But to go back to cuffs They have
appeared again on the eastern horizon
of fashion. At the late Summer COL
lections of the French dressmakers long
sleeves and close-fitting sleeves have
been everywhere newfoundland with
them wide and distinctive cuffs.
During the 18th and 18th centuries
such an important role did cuffs play
in the costumes of both men and
women that it is really difficult for a
modern designer to think of kind of
cuff that is not at once historical in
its suggestion.
Linen or pique either in white or
color is among the charming acces-
sories launched by French dress
makers, and an Autumn frock that de-
serves much favor is the straight.
scant plaid frocl with wide washable
f1aring collars and cuffs. Attach a
small artificial flower to the left revers
of the collar and the picture is
complete.
With printed chiffon frocks, for late
Summer faring cuffs and collars sug-
gestive of the mode of Louis XIII are
shown. Suggestive of Marie de Medici
and Marie Stuart are all white geor-
gette or lace sleeves worn with long,
close-fitting black velvet sleeves
Friled and fiounced sleeves suggestive
of the late 18th century mode are seen
in the new fashions and close sleeves
that button well down on the wrist
smack strongly and pleasantly of the
Empire period.
Cuffs that resemble the gauntlet
Top or gloveS-Snug about the wrist and
haring nearly to the elbow-are at
tached to some of the new fur coats
the cuffs being of contrasting fur-as

ne ran away in such fright that
ne didn't even see where he was
going. That was because he was
young and foolish. Now he is older
and wiser. much wiser. Down in his
heart he is still little afraid of me,
but he doesn't intend that any one
shall know it. The old rascal is pre-
tending. He is pretending that he
hasn't seen me. He is pretending
that he doesn't know I am anywhere
about. He is anxious to get away
from here. but he isn't hurrying a
step. He knows that 1 am watching
him, and he wants to make me think
that he doesn't care a flip of a paw
about me. He wants me to under
stand that he respects me and my
rights. and that he expects me to
respect him and his rights.
L suppose some people wouldn't
stay here a minute. knowing there
is fully grown Bear in the Old
Pasture. But l know that I have no
more to fear from him than 1 would
have if he were miles away He has
shown me that as plainly as If he

there are plenty of other berries for

So Farmer Browns boy resumed
his picking, and it wasn't very long
before he had his pail full. All the
time, without appearing to do so.
he watched for another glimpse of
Buster Bear. But he didn't get one.
He neither saw nor heard anything
more of Buster. But he knew that
this didn't mean that Buster had
gone back to the Green Forest. He
suspected that Buster wasn't far
away. He had a feeling that though
he didn't see Buster. Buster saw him.
He was right. Buster had gone only
far enough to get out of sight and
then had hidden where he could
watch Farmer Browns boy but be
unseen himself.
Just as soon as Farmer Browns
boy started home with his two pals
of berries Buster resumed his feast.
He wasn't in the least nervous or
upset. Once he would have been;
he would have kept looking to see
If Farmer Browns boy was return

What TodayMeans to You
Leo.
BY MARY BLAKE.

The vibrations do not assume a
positive nature until about o.clockk
in the morning. when new aspects,
forming until the early evening, take
predominance and grace the period
with their beneficence. They are es-
pecially for business matters, scien-
tific research and artistic efforts. 1t
is a good occasion for bringing to a
head long-pending love affairs.
A child born today will escape most
OF the illnesses to which childhood
is seubject and will develop more
| than usual strength and vigor. It's
character will be dominating and its
disposition rather overbearing. With
out attempting to weaken the
strength of it's character or the mas
terfulness OF its disposition, it must
be taught to temper strength with
kindness and virflity with gentleness.
II today is your birthday, you pos
sess many admirable traits, but lack
concentration, either Of thought OF, Of
action.
The exercise Of concentration is re-
quired at times in practically every
line of endeavor, and 1t Is therefore
q faculty that should be developed by
you to the fullest. 1t demands the
voluntary, continuous direction of
thought upon an object or an idea.
1t focuses all of your powers upon
the problem before you. 1t is illus
trated by the phrase Keeping ones
eye on the ball"
The type of concentration which is
particularly important to you is that
which comes from the exercise of will
power.
Concentration has to be combined
with efficiency or accuracy, which you
possess in a marked degree. to be of
practical value.
A degree Of concentration, adequate
for your ordinary use, may be devel-
oped by practice. Interest or curios-
ity may start of your attention, but
in order to make practical use of 1t
you must learn to force your atten-
ton.
You. also lack quickness Of reac.
tion-quick thinking and. quick act.
ing, as distinguished from nervous
ness. or mind wandering. Your
thoughts jump from one idea to the
next and you are active and restless
physically, yet you do not possess the
ability OF quick reaction.
Well known persons born on this
date are oliver H. Perry, naval off,
Ger, hero OF the battle of Lake Erie /;
John Fritz, manufacturer and engi-
neer, leader in iron and steel indus
try; William H. Dali, naturalist; /;

HOW 1T STARTED
BY JEAN NEWTON.
To "Whitewash.' y

The use of this term to describe a
covering over to conceal wronEdoing
Is familiar to a great extent through
Its application in political, matters,
Parties are accused frequently of
whitewashing members who are un-
der suspicion by so-called ipvestiga-
tions, which lead only to exoneration,
It was during the early days of in
solvency Legislation in Epgiand-the
passing of laws. to do away with i'm
prisonment for debt-that the term
'whitewash" is said to have been first
employed in this figurative sense.
We find its earliest recorded use In
the following quotation from speech
made In the House of Commons by q
member protesting against the pas
sage of the insolvency act, which
proposed to free imprisoned debtors
on their oath of good faith:
This act" he said, will enable q
man to go to prison covered with
debts and soiled with dirty ways and
come out whitewashed to begin the
contest against honesty afresh."

Blouse for Fall Suit.

Now that the soft, silken "over-
blouse" has largely supplanted the
stiff, stern shirt waist" of not-so-
long-ago, blouse buying has become
an art. For the blouse, once rele-
gated almost to the status of a mere
dress accessory, now practically
makes costume in itself.
Especially in its relationship to the
Fall suit is the we'll selected blouse
important. For by possessing sew
eral different types of blouses you
can SO change the appearance of
your suit that you will appear well
and suitably dressed for any time and
occasion.
In selecting the sort of blouse you
will probably want to wear most
often with your suit-the semi
tailored one, suitable for street. train
and business-your primary con-
siderations should be simplicity of
cut and material. You can select
a dainty but tailored-looking wash
material, or you can choose some
substantial silk in shades to match
the suit. But there should always
be long sleeves and relatively high
neck on the tailored blouse,' and
"jew- jaws" should be absent.
The o-match -the-suit idea
Is even more desirable for semi-dress
wear. Such a blouse. usually silken
