are used to conceal accessories, such
as the telephone, electric iron or
curling tongs, with their cords ready
to be attached to the sockets plainly
to be seen in the back of the closet.
The telephone tuckaway closet can
be entirely deceptive if its door is but
one of many similar panels in "a
wainscoting. The best way to open
the door is to let down the panel, thus
forming a shelf on which to rest the
phone if one wishes, or on which to
lay a pad and pencil to got down mes
sages. There should be a pad and
pencil tucked away in the tuck-away
closet.
Writing Desk.
An ingenious tuck-away article is
the drop-leaf writing desk. 1t can be
nrade a decorative asset also, forming
a sort of ornamental panel when it is
not in use. There is tiny top shelf
on which the writing table accessories
are securely held. BY raising the drop
leaf and adjusting it as an ordinary
kitchen shelf the desk is ready to use.
The drop leaf is held at a slant like
the top of many knee desks.
Modern Vogue.
While old and new ideas combine
to forming the type of furniture known
today as "tuck-away" furnishings, the
reasons for their use then and now are
divergent. In the old-time articles the
convenience consisted chiefly in the
fact that the articles could be carried
wherever wanted. Pieces of furniture
were cherished possessions and houses
were not overcrowded with articles for
the same purpose. Today the saving
of space is the idea that predominates.
Tuck-away furniture is admirably
adapted to apartment rooms. How
ever, because of its delightful inge-
nuity it is in demand for larger rooms.
1t is vogue.

the pores and bring about greater
activity in which there would be some
reduction, but this would only be a
temporary matter over the period you
were using the oil. You could not ap-
ply the oil continuously, as you would
be constantly in danger of colds, and
you would be carrying the odor of the
camphor about with you. Try dashing
very cold water over the larger bust
and then light friction from a bath
towel, as this will stimulate the cir
culation and absorb the fatty tissues.

SUB ROSA

Tommy's Plant.

Tommy says that the truth has
never been written about the way we
women treat men. He says hand out
lot of applesauce per week about the
| need for every girl to be nice to her
boy friend-since escorts aren't over
numerous these days-when the truth
Is that there's apparently no need at
all for any Jane to put herself to that
trouble.
Why" says he belligerently, mo
girl has to bother to be nice. She al
ready has enough men to start an
army. Why should she bother to be
even polite to half-timer like me for
instance? What are my chances.
I'm not very rich. l don't dance
very we'll. l haven't any great chat
ter. Where do l come in any girls
life, but as a second best? Don't tell
me there are girls who want to know
me. I know better. I've tried often
enough. How about it? What chance
have we average males with the rare,
delightful flowers of your SEX"
Tommy is certainly in bitter mood.
His letter shrieks bad temper Evil
IDENTIFY he's had the air recently and
still feels the smart of the ventilation.
Wen, listen, brother. you needn't
feel so sorry for yourself Maybe
you've had the misfortune to run up
against only world-beaters who had
so many boys they didn't know what
to do with them.
! But if you could cast your eye over
my daily mail and get an inkling of
how many girls there are in this coun-
try just yearning for rush from
nice kid, you'd realize that there's
plenty of hope yet.
Maybe you're aiming too high, Tom
my, dear. Maybe you're sore because
you dashed up to the town belle and
asked her for six dances or three dates
week and got turned down.
Never start on these ig-timers,
Tommy. They'll make you lose con.
fidence right away. The ig-timers
are not likely to grow friendly and
obliging, if you're just an average
fellow.
Better pick out some nice, quiet
little girl who's just come out and
needs encouragement herself. Take
her around a bit, make friends with
her, get used to talking to girls.
The more nice girl friends you have,
the more easy it viii be for you to
make dent on the glorious Sheba you
evidently have your eye on.
1t SO often happens that boy who
meets with rebuff from some bigger
and better belle loses all selfconfi-
dence and sinks away by himself to
brood over his unpopularity.
Just remember that these bellies can't
possibly take time to be sweet to
every man who wants to date with
them. They have so much to do, poor
things.
And if you're the one who gets a
dirty dig, brace up and realize it only
happened to be you. 1t might have
been any other fellow.
Don't get discouraged because the
most popular girl at the dance turned
you down.
Look after some one less popular
and see whether you can't have a good
time making friends with her.
There are two lonely girls for every
lonely boy in the world, Tommy.
That ought to buck you up.

The name "tuck-aWay furniture" is
eptly applied to the various kinds that
can be made either smaller and so less
In evidence, or that can be hidden in
some Granny or nook in a room or
wall. There is always the idea of such
furniture being collapsible, or able to
he minimiZed in size, and so partially
tucked away, or else in being actually
tucked away. Not all of this furni-
ture is new to us, but the unique name
is intriguing.
For example. the nests of tables that
came from far away China, brought
here by the early trading vessels when
our country was in its first struggling
years, are decidedly 'tuck-away fur
niture." Tables that are so narrow
that they seem but strips of wood
until their leaves are extended were
made many years ago, and these be-
long to "tuck-away" furnishings. Col
lapsible ironing boards come under
the same head. So do tip tables.
Interesting Types.
The old-time camp chairs and camp
stools are just as much tuck-away
furniture as are the more modern
piazza and steamer chairs that add
comfort to veranda furnishings or to
ship decks. The rubber bath tubs
that are so generally included in
furnishings for infants use and that
fold in similar way to the camp
stools are of more modern origin. And
so we find that articles range from
simple utilities for kitchen or bath
room to those handsome enough to
grace the finest living rooms. The
name is delightfully."- appropriate, for
the articles actually can be tucked
away.

Jill's Good-By to Tony.

Minnie's face relaxed in a broad
grin.

letter for him."

Jill hesitated, but only for a mo-
ment. Then she smiled at Minnie.
Tell him I'll be in his Office in five
minutes. will you. Minnie? / want to
finish here first"
Minnie's admiration for Jill was
extravagant. She believed her capa-
Bile of anything; above all, after she
had heard her brother Hector rave
why old Merrill was just eating
out of her hand" he had said the day
Jill had been engaged. You should
have seen him.
But Minnie knew Anthony Mcclure
She hadn't worked in the Office of
Mcclure & Adams for three years
without learning great deal.
She wished that she had an excuse
to linger on and walk to the subway
with Jill later, but there was some
thing aloof and detached about JilPs
manner that prevented her suggest
ing it. And so she withdrew in 81
lence, and a moment later was going
down in the elevator. That left An
thony and Jill alone.
Jill, with elaborate precision, fin
ished her work. Then she got her
handbag and extracted sundry ar
tic!es from it. A powder case, a
small box of rouge and a lipstick.
1t was already dark outside, so that
she could make up little more than
usual. When she was ready she
knocked at Mr.. McClure's door.
She was very grave, very business
like.
You wanted me to take a letter."
She knew quite well why he had
sent for her.
He was as business like as she was,
and dictated a perfectly authentic
letter. She rose as he finished and
closed her notebook with a gesture.
"I'l have it ready for you in five
minutes"
She was at the door before he
spoke.

had She was absurdly cool and well
poised for one in her position. 1t irri-

Jill was inwardly triumphant. She
had gained one point. He had come
to her.

Then he looked this way and that way
and the other way with scared look
In his face ''See those" he whispered,
pointing at the strange footprints in
the mud on the edge of the pond of
Paddy the Beaver. Sammy looked
down. and then he flew down a little
nearer for another look.
"Whose are they?" he almost wis
pered.
II don't know" whispered Old Man
Coyote. There is stranger in the
Green Forest. There isn't any doubt
about it, there is a stranger in the
Green Forest. I'm going nome. I'm

very minute" And, without even say
ing good-by, Old Man Coyote started
straight away through the Green For
est. headed for the Old Pasture.
Sammy Jay stared after Old Man
Coyote until he was out Of sight. Then
once more he stared at the strange
footprints in the mud. They were
real: there was no doubt about that.
They were real footprints and they
had not been made very long. Sammy
looked all around to see if there was
any one in sight. Swimming over near
his house was Paddy the Beaver.
Sammy promptly flew over and alight-
ed on the top of the house of Paddy
the Beaver.
Sammy was just about to ask Paddy
if the latter had seen the strange foot
nrints. But he didn't ask him. He
didn't have to. He knew without ask
ing that Paddy had seen them. There

SPRINCTIME

Sweet Cicely.

In those steep, loamy woods that
temple the rocks above the Key
Bridge, saw the white foam of sweet
cicely tossed along the undercover.
Pungent and rich its odor reaches
one, smelling perhaps as much IKE
licorice as anything else. If mistake
not, it is called wild licorice by some
of the mountain folk. That odor will
rise more sharp and aromatic when
the fruit is set.
And when the fruit is set, this DR..
Jekyll of a plant will take on the
habits of the sinister Mr.. Hyde logging
ones comings and goings. For this
flower of bland innocence ripens into
a barbed black fruit that catches to
the clothing by the thousand if you
walk through the woods where it
grows. 1t then gathers unto itself
the name of beggar's ticks-a name,
however, that is applied to almost
any burr.
Yet, withal, forgive the plant it's
wicked Summer habits, remembering
how beautiful it looks in Spring. l
often wonder whether any part of the
plant, root, leaf or fruit, tastes of
licorice as much as it smells Of it. But
sweet cicely belongs to the tribe of
the Umbelliferae, which contains, !

Warning Is given that the eclipse of

Tidal waves and foundations may
be expected in regions already sorely
troubled by disasters.
