COTTON IS
COOL

YOU can wear cotton to be cool.
= There are many kinds of cot
ton fabrics, each useful for a spe-
cific purpose, according to the way
In which 1t is made, says the Blu
reau of Home Economics, United
States Department of Agriculture.
For example, il you want to feel
cool you will dress so as to per-
init evaporation of moisture from
the body, a process which requires
constant circulation of air
through the clothing. Cotton as
g fiber is a good conductor of
heat; that is, heat passes through
1t readily. For GOODNESS, however,
You must choose the thin, open,
fiat. smooth weaves among the
cotton gOods--those which inclose
no air and permit maximum Of
air circulation. Fabrics Of this
type are wolfe, batiste, organdy,
lawn, and dimity. These materials
do not absorb great amounts OF
perspiration. 1t is evaporated by
the air directly from the skin,
giving the sensation of GOODNESS.
You will avoid in hot weather
the flat, firm, solid weaves such
as heavy musilns. denim and
khaki, These fabrics are so
dense that they are impervious
to air, and because of their
smooth, hard surface the pers.
piration is not absorbed. This per-
mits the body to be enveloped
IN q layer of dead, damp air.
These impervious fabrics are hot
and very undesirable for summer
and are never suitable for wear
next the skin. Don't put long
denim overalls and twill middies
on the children on hot days. You
can dress them for play in cool,
thin sateel1 or smoothly woven
prints, leaving as much of the
arms and legs uncovered as you
can.
For summer underwear choose
thin muslins, such as crossbar or
nainstook. For winter underwear
turn to the knitted cottons. These
are so porous that they inclose
air and also permit absorption
of perspiration.

A LONG time ago q little girl.
"A whose name was May T."
lived on a big plantation in the
Mississippi Valley. Now May
T. was the youngest child Of q
prosperous and kindly family and
there was no reason why her
days should not have been calm
and peaceful ones.
But no. Her days were inter.
spersed with terror and her
nights were punctuated with dis
tressing dreams. For on that
plantation were three terrifying
creatures that doomed like a black
cloud on May It's horizon.
She never knew when the old
goat that roamed around in the
woods lot might jump the -ail
fence and come tearing across the
yard to get her. The goat had
gotten loose one time and had
butted May down the kitchen
steps. He might repeat that per-

outlined with blue. Their hair
was plastered down on their
heads, and their clothes were too
perfect.
All at once it struck Bobbie
that all three of the men were
lacking in something that all men
should have. She didn't know
what it was that they didn't have
sincerity, perhaps, or just
sheer masculine ruggedness and
strength.
But whatever it was that was
missing from them, she knew it
was something that Andy Jerrold
had. Why he popped into her
mind as she looked at them, she
didn't know. But she did-and
she said to herself that he never
would wear a diamond ring no the
little finger OF his left hand
where Gus wore one. Nor would

white. There was only a table,
a chair. and a cretonne-covered
couch in it. But it seemed like
a home and earthly paradise to
Bobbie-that little room.
Gus was just as cold and dis
tant in the days that followed as
he had been on that first day.

he fairly yelled at her through
the megaphone when she was on

it this month.
AS in their previous efforts, the
youthful players acquitted themselves
In a manner that was a tribute to the
training they had received from Mr..
Howard, under whose direction all of
their presentations have been given.
The principal vocal numbers were
well rendered by Eleanor Hopkins as
daughter, and Frederick Nolan an
Ha-u-a, the fisherman who wooed
and won her The latter sang in a
high, clear tenor that augurs we'll for
the future. The comedy was in the
hands Of George Neuman as O-No-No
the last of long line of Hawaiian
chieftains; Adelaide Yocum as a
Hawaiian maiden of uncertain age
with an unpronounceable name, and
Philip Hannah as the puzzled cast
away Prof. Watts, who is mistaken
by the Haw aiians for the dreaded but
mythical cannibal king.
Lesser parts in the operetta were

last named being particularly effec-
