Simplicity of line and brilliance of color continue to be fashions i edict for summer. Vivid combina- tions abound In every material and in costumes for all occasions. A gay and chic result is gained by the use of plaids.
 An attractive little afternoon frock is Of red and yellow plaid wash silk with a. line of green in | it It has long waist and straight short skirt. Knife pleats in front give an apron effect. Inset pockets on each side have edges of yellow scallops. Yellow scallops ! border the short sleeves and the long collar which hangs cape fash ion down the back.
 A narrow belt Of silk encircles the hips and buckles in front.
 Yellow milan, broad -brimmed 1 and edged with red grosgrain rib i bon, is excellent with this frock. IL l has a band of grosgrain ribbon around the crown and q cockade on one side.
 Yellow scallops edge all after
 noon frocks of plaid silk.

Today. Judy, I have found out that 1t can buy you unhappiness. Greater unhappiness than one who has 1t not could think were possible. Do you know, dear, I wish I could go home with you tonight without one cent. Go home with you feeling that tomorrow I must get Up and earn my daily bread before I could eat il"
 T am sure you don't wish that, Joan," I said. Working for ones daily bread is not easy"
 Yes, I know. But never doing anything except 10 try to amuse yourself bores one 10 death. And when you have as much money as I have you think all your friends are hypocritical, and whenever any one is nice to you you feel like call ing them sycophants.
 "One day when I was more bored than usual I strayed into Lincoln Park and there I met a girl She was pretty, well dressed, and soft spoken. and l became rather inter- estad in her conversation.

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General. United States
 Public Health Service.

You must not trust your instincts, in summer especially, as to the amount of food you need or the kind Of food you should eat.
 Vitamines are food elements which are vital to life. Sometimes these yitamines are destroyed by cooking. For this reason some raw food should form part of the daily diet in all seasons.
 Fruits, lettuce and celery are inn portant, fruit in particular, since it helps 10 prevent constipation. Fruits also give the body valuable mineral salts and help preserve the teeth.
 If possible. three green vegetables should be eaten every day, Besides furnishing food clements which are essential to the body vegetables add bulk, which Is important.
 Remember that you do not need fancy foods to remain healthy. Plain food is just as good for you and is healthier. Potatoes, meat and milk are much better than cake, pie or candy
 Avoid malnutrition by using a bal anced ration. Do not oyereat, chew your food well, drink plenty Of milk and eat plenty Of green vegetables do not eat too much meat or too many sweets. r you will take these steps you will have taken most important step in avoiding prevent able diseases.

 All my scruples concerning the petty deception Of which l had just 1 been guilty vanished precipitately at Dicky's reference to Edith Fairfax and his lordly irritation at having his work and hers interrupted The old saw concerning the relation Of sauces for the goose and gander ran ! through my mind. together with q reflection that the advice he had given me had been only 8 bolstering Of my own opinions. l had already decided that Katherine must be told the whole story Of Lucia Mere dith's actions, and I knew that Hal Meredith himself would see that she was not permitted 10 nurse his wife. The whole result Of my talk with picky could be represented by q large zero. but I knew that I must Iet no inking Of my knowledge es- cape me.
 T don't think there Is anything more I wish 10 ask you" l said qui- etly. Thank you very much for the advice you have given me I shall act upon it and tell Katherine ev- orything as soon as reach the apartment"
 "Its Been Nice Ride" Under no circumstances could Dickys perceptions ever he called blunt, and his sense Of humor is keen when it is not obscured by an- ger. Therefore, ] was not surprised 10 see him throw back his head and laugh heartily.
 That's right" he said. Thank me for advising vou 10 do the very thing you've already made up your mind 10 do, Weit' ifs been a nice ride anyway. hasn't 1t. dear heart? Here we are al the corner. III see you 10 the door. 10 he sure that no malevolent aura Of Lucia Meredith's is lurking around"
 He was either feiEning good spir- it's, or his volatile nature had shot upward for the resentment which had been his but few minutes be- fore. But my heart was heavy with vague forcboding when, after bid ding him goodbye at the door, I went slowly upstairs to Katherine.

, the sheadoWs it was as light as day. ! Little Miss Brighteyes was busy eat ! ing. quite busy as her brother, but all the time she was eating she was using those two little eyes Of hers. So it was that as she looked across the Laughing Brook that she saw a dark form like q living shadow cross q moonlit space and disappear in one of the black shadows. Little Miss Brighteyes kept on with her eating. but she never once took her eyes from the shadow in which that dark form had disappeared. Presently she saw it come out into the moon- light again. It was only for mo- ment, but that moment was enough for her to know that it probably was an enemy. She knew of no one as big as that who was not an enemy. Still she didn't give the alarm.
 If I give the alarm without being absolutely sure that if is an enemy, ] will be laughed at" thought Little Miss Brighteyes. Besides, ] am in no danger. Whoever it is, is on the other side Of the Laughing Brook"
 Then, in a shadow just back of her brother, Little Mister Know-It-All, she thought she saw a sudden move mcnt. l. came 10 her suddenly that whoever it was, was trying to steal up on Little Mister Know-It-AlL Little Miss Brighteyes diyed, and as she divcd she brought her tail down slap on the water.

What vas it?' whispered Little Mister Know-It-All.
 "T don't know" replied Little Miss Brighteycs. but some one was steal ing up behind you. Let us watch"
 Side ny side they floated and watched.

Eyes the given us 10 use. They are given us for the purpose Of finding out all that We possibly can with the To use their eyes is one of the very first things the little people of the Green Meadows, the Green Forest and the Smiling Pool learn. Times without number their lives depend on the use they make Of their eyes. So eyes are very impor- ant to all these little people,
 Now, in the Muskrat family there was one who was called Little Miss BriEhteyes." because il seemed that always she saw more and she saw things more quickly than did any of the others, There was very little those eyes Of hers missed. very little indeed. f member Of the Hawk family came sailing over during the day, she was sure 10 b. the first to see 1t. 1T in the dusk Hootv the Owl came S'iliug over the Smiling Pool, the chances were that Little Miss BriEhteyes would be the one to give the alarm. if Jerry Muskrat or Mother Muskrat had. not already done so. Sometimes they would not give the alarm signal when they felt sure that Hooty didn't see any Of the children. They would wait 10 see which one of the children would be the first 10 discover the danger. Nine times out Of ten it was Little Miss BriEhtevcs.
 l. vas well for her brothers and sisters that her eyes were so bright and that she knew how 10 make such good Use Of them.

 Her deep-blue eyes were solemn with her quiet happiness.

 Lolly burst into a light laugh, You croak like a raven, Sylvia, she said, AS Aunt Agony would say Take the good the gods pro- vide and shut up"
 Then, the day after Christmas something did happen. Sylvia went out 10 the mall box at eleven o'clock, and found two let. ters in 1t,

 Much love off'n Rabs." Sylvia put the letter back into it's envelope, and stood looking at 1t while she stood at the top of the steps. waiting for Lolly who was going 10 drive her to market. Thank goodness, Babs isn't pret- ty," she thought.
 Then she laughed at herself for the thought-What if she was pretty? Fanny wouldn't look at her anyway, Sylvia told herself sharp ly. He was through with all that sort of thing.
