fore, and the reason for this is that
a number of old-time materials that
were too stiff or too coarse or too
heavy for present-day use have been
transformed by the manufacturers to
suit present demands. Thus velvet
and moire which once were too heavy
or stiff for most evening purposes
are now made almost as soft as
chiffon. Taffeta, while suited to the
flaring, bouffant type of frock, lacks
it's old-time crispness.
Often, it would seem, the material
of the frock Is merely a medium to

It is for this storehouse' of power

When Congress observes that this

Franklin would be the last man in all
the colonies to offer Encouragement to

As to the recommendation for Gen.
Wooster's recall, it should be said that
his service to the colonies has already
been great. but not as a commander OF
a large army. His present appoint
ment by Gen. Thomas was but a tenn
porary one, pending the recovery Of
Gen. Thomas or the arrival of some
other comma nder to he appointed by
Congress and Gen. Washington.
1t is not expected that Gen. Bene-
dict Arnold, now the ranking Officer
stationed at Montreal. will receive the
general command. 1t is more prob
able that Gen. John Sullivan or Gen.
Horatio Gates will come from conti-
mental headquarters, while Gen. Philip
Schuyler remains at the headquarters
of the Northern Army at Albany.

they made a. good breakfast. With
that breakfast eaten, Johnny Chuck
felt whole lot better. Old Jed
Thumper then led the way toward an
other great tangle of brambles, the
one he called his ''ca stle."
The way led across a great fiat rock.
On the very edge of this great fiat

rafting or buZzing noise. He never
had heard anything quite like 1t

ran around the edge of this big fiat

he did it. He himself started to cross
the big fiat rock. but that buzzing
sounded louder than ever. Johnny
stopped. That buzzing rattle seemed
to be coming from the middle of that
big fat rock. Then Johnny saw a big
snake coiled there, and he discovered
that the tail OF that snake was mov-
ing very fast and it was this that
was making that buzzing rattle.
Johnny stopped right where he was.

at ease but who tries to make you feel
at home, even though you be a
stranger?
II you are a salesman. don't imagine
this type Is easy to sell. He may
jolly you along, but 1t is no easy mat

peals to him. Applaud his stories, his
efforts to be witty, slap him On the
back, and be hail-fellow.well-met
and you will make a hit with him.
Here Is how to know this type when
YOU meet him. He has a broad, high
bridged nose and a thick upper lip
He makes an excellent travelling COM
pa anion, and while ne may not be'Quite
as polished as his thin-nosed brother,
he has a big heart and q jovial dis

1t seems penny wise and pound

Ing them right rather than in restor-
ing them after being carelessly
handled.
On the Line.
Another way Of saving work by
care is seen in the way clothes are
hung on line to dry. The necessity
of hanging them right is nowhere
more evident than in crepe garments
that must not be ironed or they are
ruined. Not only is the crinkle taken
out by ironing. but the garments are
made so much larger that they no
longer fit. The best way to manage
with crepe clothing after It has been
washed Is to shake it well to eliminate
wrinkles. not OF the cloth. The gar
ments may be lightly shaken across
the crepe weave. but they should he
shaken hard with the weave. For
instance. shake dresses and lingerie
from the shoulders or the top. Hang
them from these same places also.
When the Wind Blows.
When there Is wind the clothes
will blow dry in fine style. for the
wind will shake the unwanted
wrinkles out and the clothes will have
all the straightness and freshness OF
ironed garments without having the
desired crinkly weave effect taken
out. 1t is surprising how bad crepe
garments will look if not hung right.

1t pays to do things right. and saves

something to be priced in these busy
days.
