THE WOMAN OF TWENTY-FIVE
By CLYDE CALLISTER.
BY JOHN KNOX.

At 90 she was described as "the
most perpendicular, precise, taciturn
piece of single blessedness that ever
existed" 1t was said of her that she
was mo more regarded in society
than a poker or fire screen or any
other thin. upright piece of wood or
iron that fills it's corner in peace and
quietness. Yet at this age Jane
Austen wrote pride and Prejudice"
WHICH was one of the most remark.
able pieces of fiction ever written by
a woman-and one of the few works
written at that time still held in high
regard by present-day critics.
Dolly Madison was % at the time
Of her marriage. She was originally
Dolly Paine and her mother before
her marriage to John Paine had been
sought in marriage by Thomas Jeffer-
son. Dolly first married rich law
yer named John Todd, who died of
yellow fever three years after her
marriage. One of her two children
also died. At % she was wealthy and
much sought-after widow, and among
those who admired her was James
Madison, then 43. AS a young man
Madison had been Tilted, and since
then he had apparently not thought
of marriage.

Easily Made Pickles.

These pickles are exceptionally de-
licious in flavor. To gallon of vine
gar add one cupful of salt and one
cupful of dry mustard. Put this in a
stone crock. Take a peck of medium
sized cucumbers. wash and dry them
thoroughly, which is very important,
drop the cucumbers into the vinegar,
and put the cover on tight. In the
morning the pickles will be ready to
be eaten. You may add cucumbers
from time to time to this same brine
so that you may have these delicious
pickles all through the Summer Be
sure the cucumbers are dry when
dropped into the brine.

Jimmy began to lick his lips. "You

Bear" answered Jimmy.
Well" said Peter, what about
that Woolly Bear?"
Peter said Jimmy. ''you don't
know as much as you might"
Meaning what?" inquired Peter.
"Woolly Bears" said Jimmy SOL

Jimmy sighed. 1t was heavy sigh.

Peter, that you would eat that Woolly

Jimmy, "but there wouldn't be any.

or fruit motifs. Use one motif in each
corner of the cloth and one on each
napkin.
Color Schemes.
A set made of oyster-gray linen,
with flowers in yellow or delicate rose
pink and leaves and stems in pale
green, would be artistic and cool look
ing also. Or a design can be carried
out entirely in white on linen with
an orchid tint. or on green, or lemon
yellow. This shade of yellow is
stressed because it is free from the
red that is in orange yellows and,
therefore, is cooler.
With White.
A white linen with the motifs done
in green, pale rose, orchid or lemon
yellow would be attractive. The
white of the fabric would accent the
desired cool quality. while the shade
Of the motifs would give the necessary
colorfuiness to the napery. 1t must
be remembered that table linen such
as the embroidered sort described is
for luncheons, breakfasts and refresh
ment table use, and not for formal
meals.

First Lady Of the Land, said to the
young widow. He will make thee
a good husband and all the better for

So they were married. and some
years later Madison became President,
and the name of Dolly Madison is still
remembered as that Of one of the love.

women who have played the role Of
mistress of the White House.

Nan went out of the doctors office
with his words of warning ringing in
her. She felt helpless; her wings were
clipped. Where once she had scared.
now she could only futter helplessly.
BY the time she had reached home she
almost hated Martin Lee.
She had bought some things on the
way home and was preparing her sim.
pie dinner when the bell rang. With
a feeling that almost amounted to ter
ror rising in her heart she went to
the door.
Martin Lee stood there.
He smiled at her, and involuntarily
she smiled back When he smiled his

Nan there was something almost ten
der about the expression of his mouth.
May I come in?"
She stepped back and held the door
wide. Then she took his hat and coat
and very fashionable stick with it's
carved ivory handle. She realized that
she was trembling and it angered her
She had great deal to thank him
for, but there was no reason why she
should be afraid of him.
She was wearing a black dress un.

made that black sweep of hair across
her forehead look even darker than
it was, because in the sunlight Mans
hair was really dark brown.
II thought-if you could give me a.
few minutes" he began tentatively.
She carried his things into the bed
room and then returned. They sat in
the large gray studio already full of
shadows. Nan shivered slightly. She
felt as if she were about to face an
ordeal Of some kind and was vaguely
terrified.

Table napery that is cool and sum-
merry is an addition to every linen
closet. 1t adds to the attractiveness
of meal when days are hot and sui
try just as the appearance of cool and
crisp green lettuce or other salad
green tempts the appetite at such
times. Therefore. the color schemes of
the tablecloth and napkins are not
negligible quantities. This should be
remembered especially now when color
is rife in such table accessories. Once,
when pure white linen was the only
kind considered, this idea needed no
accentinC. But color is in the as
tendency, so GOODNESS must be con-
sidered.
a set that meets these requirements
delightfully."- is made of a soft and very
pale apple green linen. On it there
are appliqued motifs cut from lemon
yellow linen. These are put on with
white thread in chain stitch. Occa-
sionally French knots bring out the
design in interesting detail, while
traceries of stems in the heavy white
thread add symmetry.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Tuesday, August 8.

Menacing stars rule strongly to-
morrow, according to astrology.
which gives warning to be careful.
Except to buy land there should
be extreme care where any sort of
investment Is involved, the seers
declare.
Under this direction of the stars
it is supposed to be uncommonly
easy for INSCRIPTIONS persons to
persuade women to risk their money.
While this conflguration prevails
the mind may be muddled and the
Judgment untrustworthy.
False reports Of various sorts may
be circulated where they will be
eagerly accepted, when the stars are
positioned as they are tomorrow.
Again danger of scandals and libel
suits is far-reaching and evil propa-
ganda will flourish. astrologers fore
tell.
All important initiative should be
postponed. if the stars are to be
trusted. for conditions are thwarting
and disappointing.
Merchants and manufacturers are
to meet certain surprising conditions
more or less depressing, it Is prognos-
ticated. but they will profit later.
Many distinguished visitors will
come to the United States early in
the Autumn, it is foretold, and mis-
sions from foreign nations may be eX-
pected.
Women and children are still sub
ject to planetary influences that are
more or less sinister, and they should
be especially safeguarded.
New ideas Of many sorts are to be
welcomed, and inventors will benefit
greatly in the coming year.
Persons whose birth date Is tomor-
row have the augury of busy. happy
year. in which it is better to enjoy
the things possessed than to seek
added treasures.
Children born tomorrow may have
rather a struggle in life, but they
have the promise Of great success.

Jimmy Skunk was ambling along in
that slow, independent way of his. He
was moving slowly. There were two
very good reasons for this. The first
was that he was in no hurry, which
you will admit was an excellent reason
for moving slowly. The second was
that he was so stuffed with grass
ihoppers that it really was an effort to
move al all. So it was that when, as
he ambled along down the Crooked
Little Path, a Woody Bear started to
cross in front of him Jimmy hardly
gave him more than a look. Now, of
course, you know what Woolly Bear
Us. It is that funny little caterpillar
who is brown in~the middle and black
at each end and is covered with rather
stiff, closely set hairs. He~is the one
who spends the Winter as cAterpil-
lar. He is as independent for a
caterpillar as Jimmy Skunk is for an
animal. He knows full well that he Is
too hairy a Inorsel for birds to relish.
Now, if Jimmy Skunk had had to
run two steps in order to catch Woolly
Bear, he would have allowed Woolly
Bear to go unnoticed. But as 1t was,
all he had to do was to reach out a
black paw in order to stop Woolly

Story Telling.

One mother says:
In telling children stories I have
found that if a story is repeated it
must be unchanged, and that repeti-
ton within a story is pleasing. Chill
dren also like a story to be concrete.
For instance. if a party is brought
into the telling they like to know what
games were played, what the guests
given. These are simple points Of
child psychology, but they will make
1t easier for any one who wishes to be
successful in amusing children.
