Clothes for "Roughing It."

We're still primitive enough to en-
joy roughing it once in a while, and
our pleasure in doing it depends
largely on the suitability Of our attire.
When shopping for the roughing-it
costume, it is advisable to forget
about the styles of civilization and
pay ones regard chiefly to the needs
of the life primeval.
In ones roughing-it costume 1t
should be possible to climb and tread
anywhere with perfect freedom and
a total disregard for underbrush,
brambles, brooks and rocky clefts.
For this purpose the skirt is banned
and ones choice lies between Knockers,
riding breeches and "judpores."
Knickers have been discussed some
what fully in another article. But it
might be repeated here that fullness
about the hips and ample length from
waist to knee are desirable. Knockers
are usually bought by waist measure
ment, but other dimensions should be
taken into consideration by shoppers.
Riding breeches are practical for
roughing it. Whether one is riding
horseback or tramping, they permit
ease of movement with comfort.
Those bought for riding, however,
should be properly reinforced at the
knee and thigh to Withstand the hard
wear directed there. Fit in riding
garments is essential to comfort.
Brooches for tramping or walking
purposes may be looser in fit, and the
reinforcement may be omitted entire
ly. Either of these brooches may lace
up or button up. Usually women pre-
fer the button-up model. Riding
breeches bought ready to wear should
be taken to a competent tailor and
fitted to the knee, thigh and seat.
"Judpores" are long-f1tted trousers
worn by horsewomen everywhere.
They strap under the foot. but other.
wise are similar to the type Of trou-
sers worn by gymnasts. They are
shaped to the leg, but otherwise re-
semble riding breeches. They make
comfortable riding breeches and are
cooler for riding in warm weather
than breeches and puttees or boots.
Knockers, breaches and judpores
may be bought in variety of mate
rails. For Summer wear, duck and

beauty shops. but it lies in a wiser
use of after-business hours.
If the business day occupies eight
hours, there are still 16 hours left
during which one Is at liberty to seek
beauty and health. Eight of these
precious free hours should be given
to sleep in a we'll ventilated room that
has been flooded with sunlight some
time during the day. There is no sub
stitute for sun-bathed fresh air. The
daily trip to and from ones place of
business provides the opportunity of
being out of doors for a short time
each day. One should walk at least 2
miles each day, even though 1t Is nee
essary to ride part of the way to save
time. At lunch time there is another
chance to get outdoors. Those who
are fortunate enough to live near a
large river or lake may take boat trips
in the evening. Outdoor swimming
pools, open-air bands and orchestras,
song festivals, athletic sports and
dance pavilions provide the sort of
entertainment indoor workers should
seek. Automobile rides may take city
dwellers to parks or country places
where the air Is sweet and fresh. In
Summertime it is usually unnecessary
to urge people to spend the week ends
out of doors.
Close, sedentary work is one of
beauty's chief enemies, because It
exaggerates defects in milady's figure.
The STOPPING position over a desk or
machine makes the muscles in the,
front of the body sag, producing
f1abby busts and abdomens and double
chins. The hips also spread from too
much sitting. To counteract these Ill
effects of ones occupation it is neces-
sary to do special corrective exer-
cises every day. The big muscles at
the front must be strengthened so
that they will become firm and FREQ
from excess fat. This is easily accom-
plished by doing leg-raising exercises,
high kicking and also by lifting head
and shoulders upward while lying
down on ones back. The latter move
mcnt lenses the muscles over the
abdomen and diaphragm and they
may then be massaged to reduce de-
posts of fat. Lowering the head
backward and slowly raising it will
tighten flabby throat muscles. The
exercise should be done for 10 or Is
minutes day.

one of these back-slapping guys.
Getting slapped on the back does not
do you any good, and the way he
slaps you, it is likely to be downright
bad for you.
We drove to the station at 8 o'clock,
and Bill climbed off the train and
kissed Joan and pulled the baby's nose
and slapped me on the back. He
said, "Well, we'll, well. I sure am
glad to see you" and 1 said, "All
right. Why hit me?"
SO we drove home. Bill said, First
off, want a BATH" and he slapped
me on the back again, and l said,
"You can drown yourself, for all
care. Quit knocking me around, will
your" He said. "Ha, ha, ha. I'll
pick on somebody my size, them" and
he reached over and slapped, the baby
on the back, and he said, "Ha, ha"
again and went. to take his bath.
Joan said, tits good to see Bill
again. I'm so glad he's here, aren't
your" I said, 1.-THE tears in my eyes
are from him seeking me, not from
happiness. He'll break the baby's
back, hitting him that way" Joan
said, "Why, Bill knows enough not
to hurt the baby. He's a DOCTOR"
said, "Horse DOCTOR" Joan said.
"Why. Bill is wonderful DOCTOR"
and 1 said, "oh, no, he isn't" and
she said, "Why not?" and 1 said,
Because good doctors stay in their
offices until they're called. This guy
is out drumming up trade already"

The fact that pockets are eliminated
from frocks does not mean that they
are not decidedly in evidence. Some
times they are put in odd places and
sometimes on articles foreign to our
idea of appropriateness. Yet these
articles lend themselves admirably.
many times. For instance, pockets
on pillowslips are novel and they are
handy, as the proverbial pocket in
shirt"
One reader calls attention to those
she has found decorative, in which the
colorful handkerchief are tucked like
flowers. If the pocket is shaped like
basket the similarity is made even
more apparent. 1t is well with such
a style to have touch of color on the
pillowcases themselves. This can con-
sist of Italian hemstitching done with
colored linen thread. Or feather
stitching may strike the tone, or
French knots along the hem, or
Cretan stitch worked just above the
line of the hem.
For Conservative Taste.
Many women, however, cling to the
prevailing conservative style of all
white for bed linens, whatever color
may be introduced into the spread put

idea may appeal, both because of its
ornamental value and its convenience.
For do not most persons sleep with a
handkerchief tucked under the pillow,
and then when it is wanted have to
tumble about to find it in the dark?
How much easier to know exactly
where it is-in the wee pocket-where
It can be had without any needless
search. For these women let me sug-
gest another idea that will chime in
with their desire for pristine white
ness, plus convenience.
Filet Crochet.
The pocket may be of square of
filet crochet and the pillowcase be
edged with filet lace. On the best
linen filet insertion may band the hem.
AS this crocheting works up fast,
such trimming while very effective
does not take much time to finish.

any Of the others. So when Mrs.
Coyote sprang at his fat brother she
sprang right between this venture
some little Chuck and his home. But
if this little Chuck was bold and VEN
turesome, he was also smart. He was
smart enough to remember what he
had been taught by his mother, Polly
Chuck. The instant Mrs. Coyote
sprang, this little Chuck saw that he
hadn't chance to get back home. He
would have to go right straight past
Mrs. Coyote. and of course, he couldn't
possibly do that. What was it Mother
Chuck had said? when you have no
place to go, lie fiat and freeze" That
was it.
Instantly that little Chuck flattened
himself in the midst Of the sweet
clover. Unless you have seen Wood
chuck f1atten himself out, you have
no idea how fiat he can be. He just
Rugged the ground, did that bold little
Chuck. The grasses and clover leaves
hung over him and he didn't move.
No, sir, he didn't move particle.
That was freezing. When one of the
feathered folk or fur wearers keeps
perfectly still 1t is said to freeze"
That simply means that it is keeping
just as still as If it were frozen.
That little Chuck's heart was going
thumpety -thumpety -thumpety-thump
Never in all his life had he wanted to
run as he wanted to run then. Some
how it seemed as If running must be
the only way of getting away from
danger. But he remembered, and
there he lay just as If no life was in
him.
Mrs. Coyote, having missed the fat
/ test young Chuck, looked hastily this
| way and that for the other young
Chucks. She saw two of them scram.
BILE down the long hall of their home
| right at the heels of the one she had
so nearly caught. There was fourth;
| she was sure of it. She looked this
way, she looked that way, hurriedly.
No young Chuck greeted her hungry
! eyes. Where could the rascal have
| gone to? 1t must be that he had been
! so near the doorway of his home that
he had been the first one in. Anyway.
that is what she thought. Bowser the
Hound was baying more loudly than
| ever now. Farmer Browns Boy had
seen her over there by the house of
| Polly Chuck, and he was yelling al
her. With a snarl of disappointment
Mrs. Coyote raced toward where Old
| Man Coyote was waiting for her. She
actually jumped right over that young
J Chuck who had remembered and was
freezing" She jumped right over
him and didn't see him at all. You
see, Mrs. Coyote had been looking for
something moving, not for something
perfectly still. That was why she had
missed the little Chuck who had re-
membered. So, you see, it pays to re-
member what Mother tells you.

Butter Substitute.

BY following the rule given below
one may obtain a substitute for but
ter that is excellent for frying and
other cooking purposes. Buy at the
meat market three pounds Of fat
called cod fat. 1t is pure suet. Cut
it in small pieces, add one quart of
water, and put it over the fire to boil
for half an hour, then push it back
and allow it to cook slowly until the
fat is all shriveled and a brown
feathery substance, then strain. The
result will be clear shortening, with.

Wreckage May Be
: That Of White Bird

st. Johns, N. F., July 14.adP)-
Wreckage believed to be that Of the
airplane White Bird, flown by Num-
geSser and Coli, from France to New
York, has been found In the interior,
two hunters reported todav
The two hunters who live in Flat
Bay, on the west coast, brought out
the report that about 10 miles in
land in the wilderness they had
sighted what looked like large
white boat. Railway officials at St.
Georges, to whom they reported their
find. believing this might be the
fuselage of the transatlantic plane,
Immediately sent Track Superintend-
ent Keefe with Major y Sidney Cot
ton by special car to question the
men further and to determine what
was actually seen.
1t was believed possible that with
0yAitional information to be gained
py questioning by one familiar with
the design Of the plane flown by the
Frenclfmen, as is Major Cotton, who
has been engaged in a search for
them, Identification might be made.
It was said that several days would
be needed to penetrate to the spot
in the forests where the hunters said
they saw the object.
