Trimming

When planning new dinner of black combined with flesh-color. This combination is particularly smart in chiffon and delightfully."- young looking. The trimming may consist of silver or gold stitching r delicate traceries of brilliants.
 The dinner gown sketched hpday reveals an interesting use Of both black and flesh tones. The long waisted bodice is made of the lighter material, in this case en- riched with diamond embroidery on the bodice. Rhinestones are also used in combination with Silver ribbon to make the girdle. An additional decorative feature is found in the small pink and white gardenias at the waist-line.
 The skirt is a graceful affair of two tiers of pleated black chiffon, the edges of the pleats are ironed out so as to give a slight flare at the bottom. In spite of this, how ever, the silhouette preserves an appearance of straight-line slender ness.
 The bodice of this decorative dinner gown is flesh colored chiffon trimmed with briiliantS. Peated tiers of black chiffon form the skirt.

all," Lillian struck in caustically, eide not to play the hermit any longer. It's your eyes that have been at fault, Dicky-bird. I'm glad you've consulted an oculist. But come on Madge, I cant waste time listening to a man make pretty speeches to another woman any longer. It arouses such jealousy in my soul that l am liable to claw and scratch at any minute. Besides t..is contraption I've got in here" she indicated the dress box, needs about three women to get me into it safely. Dicky, tell Katie that I shall take exactly twenty minutes to dress and she can plan accordingly"
 She had estimated her time of dressing to the second. When the twenty minutes were up, she emerged, looking her usual striking and handsome self in a gown of filmy lavender, with trimmings of deeper shade of violet.
 Dicky came into the living-room but a few seconds after us, and noted with a thrill of pride which is always mine, that he was look ing unusually handsome in his eve ming clothes. It was quite like one of our old-time jaunts save for the absence of Harry Underwood, and l caught myself wishing for a second against all judgment and sanity that Lillian's engaging but utterly ,nl- possible scrapegrace husband could materialize from the mysterious regions into which he appeared to have vanished and join us in our frolic.
 We made quick work of katie's dinner, and l, at least, enjoyed to the utmost the play. It was with consciousness that I was looking my best and feeling my happiest that I alighted from the taXicab in front of the night club where Dicky had promised us the entertainment of the masked dancer" who had stirred such enthusiasm among Broadwayites. A mans voice, angry, expostulating, came to our ears as we turned toward the building.
 Why the devil did you wait till this time to tell me?" he asked with an oath, and as we passed him ] saw that he was Jack Leslie, and that the woman to whom he was talking, who had shrunk from ob- seryation as far as she could beside the arched doorway, was Mrs. Bak- CT, the mysterious lodger of the fourth floor.

some of the sticks from which they
 had eaten the bark, and worked
 these into the hole in the dam. They
 brought some of the brushy ends
 from the food pile and worked these into the hole. They dug up masses of mud and water-soaked leaves from around the foot of the dam and packed these in. And while they were doing it never once did they show themselves above the surface
 Of course. it was easier for them to keep out of sight. because right around the break in the dam the ice had been chopped away. The man who had cut that hole in the dam had hoped that Paddy or Mrs. Paddy would put a head up above the water there. He was ready and waiting with a terrible gun. You see, he was what is called a poach- CT. He was one of those men who do not obey laws unless they are obliged to. He thought he might be able to get one of those beavers without. being caught, and this was the way he gone about it.
 He had been very patient. For long time he had not known whether or not Paddy and Mrs. Paddy had discovered the break in the dam. Not once had they shown themselves. But there came a time when he noticed that the water was not flowing through that break in the dam as fast as it had He kept sharp watch then and saw that water flow less and less freely. He knew then that that hole was being filled from below. It was being filled under water; and there wasn't Q thing he could do about it. Of course. he could tear 1t open again. but that would do no good if those beavers were not going 10 show themselves. He looked rather foolish.
 Tt is clgar,' said he, talking to himself, that I cannot get one of those Beavers by shooting. I'll try cutting that dam open again and setting trap in the break. In that way I ought to be able to get one"
 So the hunter gave up and went off, and that night Paddy and Mrs. Paddy filled in the break until there wasn't even q tiny leak there They were safe once more, and they were very, very tired. Copyright. 1927. by T. W, Burgess)

nor Mollie woud ever be able to lift up their hearts again in the old time happiness.
 But Dame Destiny, in her little game with the ElWell family, was distributing her pawns again and in a strange manner. At noon on the following day, just fifteen hours after Prof Elwell had finished tell ing Mollie that the sun would shine again for them, the dark cloud hanging over the old home broke and the suns bright gleam streamed through its rifts.
 And a grand old sun it was. Prof was perched by the dining room window when the messenger boy knocked at the front door, and through eyes that danced fantasti- cally he read the news that his son, Jim Elwell, was still alive.

Dicky Becomes Fully Awake to
 Madge's Charms


 With the generosity which is al ways hers toward praise of another woman's beauty, or gowning, Lillian echoed Dicky's exclamations of sur- prised admiration at my words.
 T am looking at her" she said. 'Isn't she the flossiest bon bon in the box? I'm just as thrilled as you are, Dicky-bird, but it doesn't take me off my feet, because, you see, I've seen it before"
 Dicky's face changed subtly,
 Where have you been stepping out 10 wear it?" he asked with ap- parent jocularity, but I knew that his quick jealousy had been aroused.
 Nowhere" laughed, but in my own bedroom. When 1t came home Lii was here, and I couldn't resist the temptation to give her dress rehearsal. But this is the first time I've really worn it."
 My husbands face cleared like magic, but there was a slight frown on Lillian's, and I knew that she
 
 that she would have preferred Dicky to think I had worn the dress to some festiyity in his absence.
 That this was part of her dras- tic plan to bring my husband to a realization of the danger of losing me, I well knew, for months ago, before l had taken up the research work for Philip Veritzen, Lillian had warned me that Dicky needed an ye-opener" where I was concerned that he was regarding me much as he would a comfortable piece of fur niture, and that I must devise some- thing to keep his curiosity and un- certainty as to my plans very much alive.
 I could not deny that I had en- joyed the experiment, but suddenly capriciously, rebelled against it, and was curiously glad of my hus- bands brightened face, and of the enthusiastic little speech with which he answered my announcement that l never had worn the dress before.
 I'm mighty glad to be the first man to escort 1t down an aisle" he said, and then with a speculative eye upon my face he added in puzzled tone:
 But whatever have you been do- ing to yourself? You've lost years and pounds and added slathers of pep and pulchritude. Not that you didn't always have them all left at the post, but tonight I'll warrant mo- body near you will even try to start"

Paddy the Beaver wasted no time in wondering how that hole happen ed to be in his dam. It was enough for him that there was a hole there. He couldn't afford to have it there, for in little while the water would be too low in his pond He wasted no time. Neither did Mrs. Paddy waste any time. Both very carefully looked over the break in the dam, then swan away to get materials to fill it in.
 But with all their haste and all their eagerness to get that hole filled in as soon as possible, they used their wits. They didn't once forget that safety is the first law of life. They didn't once forget that if they exposed themselves to danger while filling in that hole, they might just as well not fill the hole at all
 Paddy said nothing then to Mrs. Paddy. There wasn't time. But he wondered if she saw what he saw. He wondered if she knew, as he knew, how that hole happened to be in their dam. It was the work of one of those two-legged creatures called men. Yes, sir. it was so. Ped dy knew right away that that hole had been chopped in the dam, and he guessed partly why that hole had been chopped in the dam. He guessed that whoever chopped it knew that he and Mrs. Paddy would promptly try to repair the damage, and hoped they would show them selves while doing it. Perhaps it was hunter with terrible gun.
 There is only one thing to do," said Paddy to himself, and that is to keep entirely under water while we work. If we can do that and partly fill that hole before dark 1t will be easy for us to finish the work after dark. So Paddy and Mrs. Paddy worked hard and fast, but always below water They brought

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

 lnfantile paralysis was first de- scribed in 1S4O. Serious epidemics of the disease have occurred in many parts of the world, among the most severe being that in New York City in 1907-190S, in which there were about 2O0O cases of which [ per cent died.
 The disease occurs occasionally, however. in all communities and is among the most feared of all of the diseases that attack children, be- cause of the crippling results.
 Still Seek Cause
 Bacteriologists have found vari- ous organisms which they claim are responsible for causing the disease. although none of the or ganlsms as yet found has been definitely accepted as the actual cause. Neither has the method of transmission of the disease been definitely determined, though it is known that the disease is passed 'SAA pSAS to DtISOll. u ubNGlCnS in three to ten days after the per son has come in contact with the infection.
 ' Sometimes the first inkling of the presence of the disease is paralysis of some portion of the body. However, it is usually fever, which may not be very high, and pain, particularly in the head and the back of the neck. The patient may be drowsy but usually the brain is clear. Many times the fever of the first few days will disappear, after which a second attack of fever will occur and then the paralysis.
 A physician, in the presence of such symptoms, will usually ex- anime the spinal fluid, and he will determine from the various changes in that fluid whether of not the dis ease responsible for these symptoms in infantile paralysis. meningitis or some other form of infection of the nervous system. ...
 Blood Scr;Im
 Nowadays one of the methods of treatment most widely used aside from the control of the dis ease by drugs which quiet the pa tient and which take care of his symptoms, is the injection of the blood serum from a person who has recently recovered from the disease
 The serum is injected both di- rectly into the blood and into the veins. In many instances 1t has been found to exert valuable ef- fleets, to lessen the amount of sub sequent paralysis. and in some in stances it has been reported to have saved life.
 After the child has recovered from acute symptoms of paralysis, it is important to have the best possible advice as to the care of the muscles and the paralyzcd limbs. Certainly rest is of the greatest importance in the early stages of the condition so that the diseased tissues may have oppor- tunity for recovery.
 After they have recovered, edu- cational movements and apparatus are used to develop them again to the fullest possible strength. Of greatest importance, however, even in such methods is the neces- sity for avoiding fatigue.

The buds and Sprouts de- scribed by John Clayton eventually made their appearance. The 'buds," he had explained, were the young ladies, and sprouts" was his desig- nation for the wealthy and shiftless youths, for whom he entertained q hearty contempt.
 One of the sprouts present at the twins party answered to the name of Freddie Lawrence, and Freddie's bent was amateur theatricals. Nor was he long in informing Betty that he had written and directed the pro- duction of thrilling movie portray ing the weird and vivid story of an obscure telephone girls leap from her night trick right into the spot light in one grand jump. The namo of the masterpiece, Freddie told her, was "The Physic Kiss"
 Just amateur stuff. you know" he assured her.
 "Oh, yes," said Betty, "I under stand"
 Just for the fun of the thing, you know. Couldn't think of doing it for money although l daresay the thing would sell"

Ia treaty.
On the basic american principle
Of extending to auxiliary ships OF
the United States, Great Britain
and Japan, the 5-5-3 capital ship
ratio of the Washington treaty,
Great Britain is favorable though
the japanese position is not yet
clear.
Only japanese refusal to accept
this ratio could now block treaty,
according to some officials here.
This government, it is said, will
not agree to the British proposal
for downward revision Of capital
ship specifications because France
and Italy though parties to the
Washington Capital Ship treaty are
not full members Of the Geneva
meeting.
But officials here anticipate
Great Britain may withdraw the
capital ship provision of her plan
when American objections are ex-
planned.
Some difficulty may develop ov
" lht biitiSH pIOpoSdl lOE ilIHlla
tion of cruisers to 1900 ton ships
The 10000 ton type is more neces-
sary for the United States than for
Great Britain because the Ameri-
can navy has fewer naval bases
and fuel stations.
But this is considered largely q
paper obstacle since any Gen
eva 5-5-3 treaty would allow the
y United States fifteen 10000 ton
cruisers TO equal England.
| Long before the United States
finishes those II permitted new
cruisers, the proposed Geneva trea.
" would be revised or dead, ae
cording to administration circles.
( The British proposal for limiting
the size of submarines is said to be
agreeable TO this government. As
stated in the American treaty mem
orandum, the United States is will
ing to outlaw submarines if all 9th
er nations agree-though this ap
pears impossible because OF French
| objection and non membership ir

Minor disagreement may arise
over British proposals to reduce
guns on aircraft carriers from eight

Byrd to Carry
Mail In Plane
BY United Press leased Wire

ROOSEVELT, Field, \. Y, June
2l.-Storms over the northern At
lantic ocean were reported to be
clearing today, and it was consid-
cred possible that Commander Rich
ard Byrd would be able to take off
late today or tomorrow.
Later weather data must be a
waited before the start can be set
definitely.
Before he leaves Byrd will be
sworn in as an airmail pilot and his
flight will be the first official gov
erhment air mail trip across the At
lantic.
Charles Lindbergh was on leave
from the air mail service when he
made his flight, and he carried no
mail. Clarence Chamberlin and
Charles Levine carried several doz-
EN- letters, but they were not air
mail pilots.
Byrd will carry 200 letters, all
of which are already at the field.
