Is years and has been book-keep-

office from A to q and it is no Sc

Hutcheson's careful watching of
the office expenditures that such

1t is too early yet to know who the

HOW 1T STARTED
Make Hay While Sun Shines.
BY JEAN NEWTON.

To show foresight, taking advan-
tage of the opportunity when it ap.
pears, one of the most commonly used
sayings in our language is making
hay while the sun shines
In the use Of the phrase today hay
is figurative for money or place or
love or health or any other matter in
which it is desirable to improve the
shining hours. But in its origin
making hay while the sun shines
had a literal application.
1t goes back to the time of Henry
VIII in England, when it became the
substance of a legal statute. At the
time great damage resulted from the
practice of careless farmers who left
their hay in the fields indefinitely
after it was cut and frequently saw 1t
ruined by transforms before they had
it under shelter. To guard against
such waste, the law was passed re-
quiring farmers to take in their hay
as soon as it was ready. 1t vas from
this statute that the expression max
ing hay while the sun shines" gained
popularity in common speech.

New shades of color. as well as
larger and finer flowers. have also
been produced, with wider petals. and
in some cases, twisted petals, and the
plant has not by any means been
developed to the first limits of
variation"
Have nasturtiums, too. been
among improved plants, Mr.. Bur
bank? And are they from the tropics,
too?"
"They are from Peru and Chile and
there are at least 40 species of them.
One of them, 'tropaeoleum tuberosum.
has spicy roots used as food, and the
seeds of the common garden variety
are often used for pickles and salads,
so they are useful as well as beau
tiful
Some of them are very sensitive
to cold and frost, but they stand heat
and dryness well; indeed. they pro
duce more and better flowers if given
little water and grown in poor soil
MY experiments have been with
South American species and some OF
these had bulbs that remained dor
mant for two or three years before
sprouting.
THE common nasturtium has been
crossed so much and cultivated SO
long that the flowers vary greatly, as
well as the foliage. The amateur ex'
perimenter cannot do better than tc
undertake the crossing and selection
of this plant. The colorS are hard to

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES.

II you use powdered rouge tas most
women do these days., carry com
pact case containing it wherever you
go, so that if YOU must retouch your
complexion you can do so without
risk of skin infection. And never by
any chance use another PERSONS
powder puff, not even if il belongs to
a member OF your own family. 1t is
like using another's toothbrush or
hair brush.
Never use a powder puff when i
is soiled. II you buy the fat kind
called lambs wool puffs you can easily
wash them by squeezing them for a
moment in hot water and soap flakes
They should be washed out every day
or SO, and if YOU have any skin trouble
or skin eruptions they should not only
be washed in hot water. they should
be rinsed in strong antiseptic water.
SO you will actually do the skin good
by using them. l suggest soaking
them in strong, hot boracic water: the
boracic will dry into the puff and
make the skin cool. clean and germ
free

success can be anticipated from any
new plan or project initiated. 1t is
one of those days when II is not only
necessary and essential TO look be-

were better not to leap at all. De-
action should guide you, as the signs

they will all possess very active con-
science, will be lacking in courage
both physical and moral. Any stern,
disciplinary measures adopted to cor

More Garden Favorites.

I'm this next bed, Mr.. Burbank,
we have border of marigoldS with
nasturtiumS beyond, and at the back,
young cosmos just beginning life. 1
am sure all three of these have pass
ed under your hands and will be all
the better understood and liked for
that reason.
"The marigold," said Mr.. Burbank,
has been through quite a process
of training and education. and in some
species has perhaps reached its limit
of variation, If such a state is pos
sible, but some interesting forms have
been developed"
"Are there wild marigolds as well?"
I asked.
"Yes, there is a species from Ari-
bears in the Autumn single yellow
flowers. This / have crossed with
African marigolis and the smaller
French marigolds and also with a new
species from Chile which has pale,
yellow flowers and a delightful fra
GRANGE and flavor, very unlike its
garden cousins.
''Some of the hybrids were single
and some We're double, with fringed
petals symnretrically arranged like
shingles on a roof and composing a
very striking flower"
Next comes cosmos, although not
vet in bloom" I said.
Yes, and cosmos belongs to the
composite family and is becoming
popular, although SO late in blooming.
This is probably because it is a sub
tropical plant and has brought its
blooming habits with it."
HAS the habit been trained out
of 1t yet?' I asked @
Yes" answered Mr.. Buebank,

right sort.
Guest Towels.
There is a fad for having guest size
Turkish towels that is a bit amusing.
why, indeed, should guests have min
iature bath towels? 1t is easy to un-
! derstand why hand or face guest
towels should he small, for these are
| expected to be used by visitors who
might be callers merely rathen than
| by house guests. The latter should
be supplied with regulation sized tow
els. both face and bath towels The
only sensible idea in providing rough
guest towels is that occasionally there
are persons who never willingly use
any except rough towels, whether for
drying hands and face or for drying
the body after plunge. In this
light. the rough towels in miniature
size may we'll be included among guest
towels. but why call them bath towels? ?
Value of Right Size.
The size, as will be seen, plays an
important part in the selection of
towels. Besides the large, and some
times even enormous, bath towels, and
the wee guest towels. there are end
less sizes from which to choose.
sometimes medium size hand towel
has qualities that make il especially
picked out instead OF the more ample
size, formerly considered correct for
regular use. For example, when
fresh towels are expected once or
twice day for each member Of a
family, 1t is easy to see that they do
not need to be as large as when one
towel is expected to do duty for two or
ApI-
to launder the smaller towels which
go daily into the wash. Here is an
excellent reason for choosing some
what smaller towels, apart entirely
from the lower price.
Color and Initials.
When il comes to color in towels,
Il would take whole article TO give
it the consideration 1t deserves So
let us save that subject for another
day. But cannot close without men
tioninS the fact that the filet initials
that are being designed for readers
of this paper make delightful inserts
for towels. They can be done In filet
or embroidered in cross stitch or they
can be hooked into bath towels, to
correspond with the stitch in Turk
iSh towel weave. Would you like to
know how this hooking" is done?
If so, please write and tell me so,
directing to this paper. I shall be
glad to describe this work to inter-
ested needlewomen and homemakers.
Duck Pattern Ready.
The duck design in filet has proven
so popular that directions for crochet
ing have been prepared. The same
pattern can be used for cross stitch
embroidery IL worked over canvas.
A copy of the directions will be sent

quest with a Self-addressed and

make of him. In fact, they treated
him very much as if he were
stranger. His father and mother
looked after him as best they could
but just as soon as he was big enough
and had been out long enough TO have
learned how to find his own food
they gave him little attention. In
fact, he was the first one TO really
start out by himself.
II didn't take that young Robin
long to find out that he simply wasn't
wanted around by his neighbors. If
he flew over to join his own family
they separated and left him alone.
Other birds moved off when he came
near. They were suspicious of him.
Yes, sir, they were suspicious of him.
You know people are very apt TO be
suspicious of other people who are
a little different from themselves. It
is just the same with the little people
of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows.
So, though this young Robin acted
just like other young Robins, ano felt
just like other young Robins, and had
a voice just like other young Robins.
and, in fact, did everything just as
young Robin should, he seemed to be
regarded as something queer and to
be avoided, all because of his white
coat, which of course was no fault of
his. Old Mother Nature had given II
to him, and he had had nothing to
say about it.
Now, there is no loneliness like the
loneliness of one who is alone among
others. Here were other feathered
folk all about. yet this White Robin
had no one to talk to, no one to make
friends with. He was alone in the
midst of many. 1t seemed very hard.
Do you think it was unkind OF the
others to have nothing to do with
him? Well, there was a reason. All
of those other feathered folk were
afraid of the White Robin. Yes, sir.
that is what was the trouble. They
were not afraid of him personally,
but they were afraid of danger that
he might bring to them. You see,
they knew that with that white coat
he could easily be seen by enemies
They knew ii would be very difficult
for him to keep out of sight. So thaS
didn't want him around where thev
were.
So the young Robin soon found thar
he was not wanted in the Old Or
chard and he left 1t. He didn't feel
though he was lonesome, he didn't
he had been alone all his short life,
happy. In fact, life was very good
to the young White Robin. You see.
he didn't know how handicappe ne
was.

Antiseptic Powder Puffs.

A long time ago we did away with
such germ carriers as the public roll
er towel and the public drinking cup.
TO the great benefit of the community.
There should be a campaign now
a gainst having powder and rouge puffs
for common use in the dressing rooms
Of hotels and dancing places. To be
sure, II is not as serious a danger as
the drinking cup and roller towel one
was compelled to use, but il is a
serious danger nevertheless.
Many hotels provide individual puffs
of absorbent cotton, but as absorbent
cotton does not spread powder very
we'll they are not often used. If you
watch, you will fnd a surprising
number of women rub over their
skins with a powder puff that must
have been used by at least so people
before them, use rouge the same way
and even utilize the lipstick and other
articles of makeup that smart hotels
spread in profusion over the dressing

Towels can now be had in 80 many
different kinds and colorings that they
are fascinating. Because of their di-
versity it is of increasing Importance
that women should know how to make
selections. They should know when a
small size is correct. when a large
one. They should realize when
strength is particularly an asset as
we'll as when fneness should be
sought. They should appreciate that
,roughness and silky softness are two
characteristics each with distinct vir-
tues according to their specific uses.
They will see that if colors are in
harmony with decorations of rooms
towels lend another element TO pleas
ing decoration. And SO we could
go through with an almost endless
category of features to be considered
when selecting towels. Some OF these
points deserve special consideration.
An element that is of prime impor-
tance is the material from which tow
els are made. There are al.linen tow
these two there are several grades of
combinations of linen and cotton.
Prices vary according to just this one
element, linen or the percentage in
union" toweling being a criterion
Some housewives insist that only linen
ones are TO their fancy because OF the
absorbent nature of fax and the com.
parative ease with which the linen
towels are laundered. Dirt seems to
cling less to linen than to cotton.
Linen, Cotton or Union"
There are other housewives who be-
lieve, with the present treatment of
cotton in manufacture, that II is salts.
factory, especially when the lower
price is taken into consideration.
There certainly is wonderful linen
finish that now can be had in cotton
goods, but does 1t make the cotton
equally as absorbent as linen? This
must be another gauge as we'll as the
feel of the texture and the ease in
laundering. Whether all-linen is pref
cradle or combination of cotton and
linen in towels is a matter of each
homemaker to determine for her own
household, after weighing the argu-
ment in favor of each.
Strong Bath Towels.
There is one kind of towel that
every one will appreciate should be
strong. and that is a bath towel. 1t
is such a satisfaction to grip one end
of large Turkish towel in each hand
and pull il back and forth across the
back to bring a glow of reaction after
a cold plunge. Men are especially
pronounced in their opinion that bath
towels should be strong-and that
they should be large. Now that the
season has come for sea bathing or
dips in rivers and lakes, suggestions

ing bookshelves, nests of tables, coffee
tables and small secretary desks
Among the accessories there are
red parchment lamp shades and much
red crystal in colonial design. There
are drapery fabrics patterned with red
flowers, dots and checks, and plain
red chintz is often used.
But in using red remember that It
is disturbing in large quantities; that
touches OF red are better than masses
and that only one kind Of red should
be used in any one room.
