Scarf Addition o Afternoon
 Frocks

The scarf as feature of frocks first 1tarted on it's victorious way a year ago when huge squares of vivid colored silk folded three-corner-wise were knotted about the neck and hips. But since then the scare has varied its form. position, and manner of attack in c way to conquer not only frocks, but suits. It has been so successful that no suit Is complete this spring without its gay scarf. It may be long and narrow, three-cofner or square, and is either laid in soft folds inside the coat or tied closely as stock about the throat.
 On frocks the long narrow scarf is the popular thing, and aside from it's color, it is according to the individual manner in which 1t is manipulated that It gains charm for the wearer.
 One frock Incorporates q scarf that is arranged to achieve that quality of dignity which the older woman will ap- preciate. It is of pleated georgette or crepe de chine, either matching or con trasting with the color of the dress
 An interesting note in connection with it is the huge embroidered or beaded motif, which calls attention to it's starting It is drawn up the left side, around the neck: and down the right side, slipping under the belt and not stopping until the lower edge of the skirt is passed.
 A lark blue flat crepe or satin frock would be pretty with powder blue crepe or eeorgette as a scarf. and trimming bands of the dress fabric. Another suggestion which would achieve an en- tirely different effect is to make the frock tan, lightweight serge or canton crepe or satin, with tan georgette scarf, while the trimming bands could be of ribbon three or four tones darker. The embroidered motif could hold still darker tones intermingled with threads of gold or sort of color such as blue or coral.
 Another suggestion suitable for summer is to make the entire frock of hevy white crepe de chine or white serge with white georgette scarf and introduce color for the bands. Dark blue would be smart for them as well as yellow.

 Mary is a girl who has made chum of her mother and her mothers friends. She is an attractive girl, but she has neglected girls of her own age for the company of her mother and her moth CTS friends. She has false sense of dignity and propriety. She devotes too much attention to the care of her home. She does not indulge enough in the rec reations of girls of her own age. She frowns upon the gaiety of these girls. She thinks they are, excessively friv- olcus, whereas, in fact, they are nor nal.
 But Mary doesn't understand, though she pretends tosa superior understand ing, and Mary is much older than her years.
 She is a very unfortunate girl. She is editing one of the best parts of young wornanhood out of the book of her life.

She was just awfully pleased, though, and acted AS fl were a prodigal daughter come home after wandering among the heathen She was mighty good to me and we had a lot of fun, but oh, how l wish she hadn't known beans" !"
 You're a young coward" sculded Mrs. Simmons. Why didn't you tell her that you didn't like them?"
 ..You can't do that. when you have just arrived and you're told about the beans as if they were something grand, retorted her youngest niece.

 "Yes," agreed the youngest niece "And there were some left on Friday 90 we had them for luncheon, and on Saturday we had q fresh lot"

 Exactly" said her youngest niece, T got so I could eat them if I held my hSSath and closed my eyes, but they didn't seem to taste any better than some kind of medicine to me. I thought I had suffered enough without her giv- ing me some the last morning-but 1t seems I hadn't. Just as I was getting into the train she handed me a big heavy book all wrapped up in paper and told me she had surprise for me in it. Aunt Alice's taste in books is always good, 50 I thanked her heartily and felt quite ashamed of my ingrati- tude in not being crazy over her beans." !"

THIS PRICE OF EXISTENCE

What we know is what counts.
Nature is mrelenting in requiring
knowledge as the price of existence.
and every penalty that we pay is one
assessed against ignorance Ignorance
is not only curse, but is the only
thing that prevents us from doing any
thing we may want to do.
Death is the final price.
Mosquitoes in the south were the
carrying means of yellow fever. As
soon as they knew enough to pour
kerosene on the water in which the
insects bred, yellow fever epidemics
ceased.
1t is by similar increase of knowl-
edge that we know how to relieve
headaches, dizziness. smarting eyes
and poor vision, that are caused by
little eye defects that are invisible
to the patient. Lots of people are go
ing through this life carrying useless
burdens in the form of headaches.
etc. just because they
don't take advantage of what is
known. and if applied to their case
would remove the cause of their suf-
fering.
If your eyes or head bother you.
see that your eyes are Thoroughly
examined by reliable specialist and
ne may be able to relieve you beyond
what YOU expect.
