 Luncheon - Baked Mexican corn, cabbage and carrot salad, brown bread and butter. chocolate drop cookies. milk. tea.
 Dinner Broiled minced lamb outlets, scalloped potatoes and onions. corn salad. baked pears with chocolate sauce, milk. coffee. Many children around five years of age appease their bangs of hun ger by quickly drinking the pre- scribed glass of milk and then fuss- ing and playing with the necessary solid food. One way to overcome etables and bread and butter have been disposed of before serving the child his milk. Then the bait of . cookie with the milk makes it "go down" happily.

Gardener Finds
 Much Fall Work
Getting Ready for the
 Coming Spring.

A good gardener finds . lot of work to do in the fall. In most sec- tions of the country there Is plenty of good weather in the fall months and we should take advantage of 1t and get a great deal of work done now instead of waiting for spring when there is never time to do all we want to.
 New borders may be made in the fall Bulbs and many perennials may be set out. Shrubs and trees added to complete our landscape scheme. The whole garden should be thoroughly cleaned up, burning all refuse as 1t may harbor disease spores and insect eggs. All vacant rough through the winter % that rcught through the winter 50 that the frosts may mellow it. Weeds should be cultivated out as they make lot of growth even in the winter and will be just that much harder to get rid of the spring.
 You should be planning now for next years garden, trying wherever you can to make improvements. Try out new color schemes and new combinations of different flowers. It is these things that keep up ones in- terest in the garden. When your garden comes to a standstill you will soon lose all interest in 1t. There are always new flowers to add and new ways to combine the old ones to get better results.
 By all means keep garden note book; you will find it a great help in not overlooking the things you want to do. Once you get the note book habit you will wonder how you made out without it.
 Another thing you should start this fall if you have not done so al- ready. and that is to make . com- post heap. Save all the leaves and pile them to rot. This compost ma terial will be valuable for top dress ing your borders and lawns. Never burn leaves.

 MT. Veritzen:' exclaimed in. voluntarily. Then l was furiopr at myself for the slip. for l did not wish Harry Underwood to guess that already knew of the drama which he had sent to the great pro- ducer under another name and which MT. Veritzen had recognized as his. Philip Veritzen had told ne of it and asked mo to tell Lillian in the days before the wandersr came back in such spectacular fash. ion. But l had heard nothing cen. corning the play since.
 Yes, I've got hen on the nest ever there" he said carelessly, but the old boy and I are having few little differences of opinion about the matching. But what I'm getting at is this. If. at any time, anything which troubles you comes up in the three-act romantic drama of Noel and Mary. remember I'm | play tinkerer-so-called- an s. O. S. will bring me on the run. Ecu don't understand You don't need to, not until the time comes. if 1t does. Then you will"
 He finished his cryptic utterance with one of his great laughs just as we turned in at the gate leaving me thoroughly puzzled but with tho comforting little conviction that I could indeed call upon him for aid and counsel in any emergency, and that he meant to keep some sort of watch upon Philip Veritzen's ac- tivities.
 Jerry Ticer's small car had turned in the gate ahead of us. and I hur- ried to the rear of the house, for Jerry always brings our mail when he fetches that of his own family from the post office. Mary was standing by the car and was look ing over the mail which he had just handed her.
 Only one for me, from Aunt Harriet" she said. Will you take the rest, Auntie MadEe?'
 She handed me the letters and I noted that the envelope she held was of the heavy gray mono. grammed stationery which Harriet Braithwaite always uses. Yes. this was the day of the week on which her letter and allowance arrived.

Trimmings Of
 All Kinds Shown
These Are Returning to
 Style Prominence.

New York. Sept. Is UP)-The tendency to mold the figure through the waistline and to swathe or flat ten the hipsgive the effect of ex- treme slimness at this point, while the complete abandon in the width of the skirt, especially in the lower section. gives piquant quality to the new styles
 Then, too, the semi fitted line at the waist. the narrow trim flat belt or the flat unbelted line. contrast with the voluminous collars of furs, and the animation contributed by scarf details at necklines.
 One finds also that a variety of lines in cut and design may or may not have their origin in the mod. ern thought. The curved lines ere ated by godets or extreme circular fullneas make their impression in outline sketches. Vertical lines still appear in seamings. panels and the edges of panels or tunics. or the slashing of skirt lines, while the diagonal makes it's appearance in necklines and trimmings.
 For evening, the waistline, mount. ing at front. is conspicuous with a corresponding dipping at back. while the slight inclination to dip in skirts for daytime or to form pointed de- tails is noted, as we'll as the low placing of flounces and tiers-the slightly greater length of the day time silhouette also registers.
 Trimmings. which have been ab- sent for so long a period. are again prominent, varying all the way from buttons and lace to embroideries and fur. Everything conspires to

go out to the usual atmospheric pressure. The condition is known among the workmen as bends" IL involves collapse, weakness and even paralysis of the legs, and general pain.
 Modern investigations lead to the conclusions that the symptoms arc due to the fact that the man under pressure gets too much nitrogen dis. solved into his blood and that when he comes out into the ordinary air the nitrogen separates off too rapid ly. the bubbles developing in the cir. culation as does carbon dioxide in soda water.
 Relief is obtained by putting tho man back under high pressure and then bringing him back into low pressure by slow stages of decom- pression.

Honest tc Agnes. it just slipped out. because ws were discussing Mary. don't really believe that you're ruling your heart with your head and put ting ambition before the Dicky- bird, and it wouldn't be any of my darned business if you were.

 ''Oh, do shut lp." said grossly, angry at myself that l could not help laughing at his nonsense when, in realty. I was so thoroughly upset by his query. For the question he had half idly put when I had de- tended Mary for ruling her heart with her head" had struck deep. Was that the theory I was believ- ing in now" as he had said. Was l putting my ambition before my hus- band: Was that the subconscious reason for my defense of the atti- tude which I believed was Mary's toward Noel. Georges and her career?
 You should belong to the Inquis- ition," MT. Underwood told me with . grin. flor you know you've chos- en the one punishment which is the keenest torture to me. Let's get on home. for if l cant talk shall ex- pirs right here st your feet and then you'll have . coroner's inquest on your hands"
 I stopped to the switch key, still laughing. and sent the car on its way. MT. Underwood did not speak again until We were almost at the house.
 Just one minute before we get there" he said, his voice serious. Whether you're wrong or not about Mary - and I'm rather inclined to eank on the proposition that Noel means more to her than you think, I've got hunch that it won't be a bad idea for old Doc Underwood to keep his eyes open when he's going

BY HENRI BENDEL New York. Sept. 15.-With this g season tor unusual and decorative clothes, there is 2 high premium upon the pretty and becoming cos tune that has the additional attrac- tion of being wearable.
 Some materials. like transparent velvet or fine lacts. are ioveliness it. sslf but not practical for the woman who can have few outfits with which to maintain her reputation as a we'll. groomed individual.
 Also some colors while decora- tive and beautiful are 50 challenE- lag that they. too. are impractical except in the well-stocked ward- robe because once seen they are never forgotten.
 Avoid Bizarre Costume
 This same is true of certain styles. A princess gown with unique neck line, train, hip ornamentation or other noticeable feature will be re- membered and the times its owner wears it will be tallied by other women who may be envious but surely are noticing.
 Therefore the costume that is charming. Of allurins color and fine material that. nevertheless. falls into tho class of fine workmanship rather than startling, is the one for the women with . fund of good taste but

For . week nothing happened at the sugar house where Whitetoot the Wood Mouse, Mrs. Whitefoot and Trader the Wood Rat were liv- ing in comfort and security. It really was an ideal home they had there. Inside that little sugar-house they felt secure from every one ex- cepting Shadow the Weasel But as they never felt secure anywhere from Shadow the Weasel they didn't think much about it. They came and went freely and they spent more and more time outside the sugar-house. Not since the visit of Yowler the Bobcat had an enemy appeared.
 One night just about dusk when Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot were getting ready to go out. Trader the Wood Rat came in in great hurry. He certainly did come in in great hurry.
 What Is it?" asked Whitefoot snxiously.
 "Sh-h-h-h," said Trader. putting . hand on his lips.
 Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot lis tened anxiously. Presently they heard a shifting and snuffing antl . blowing. "Bear." whispered Mrs. Whitefoot.
 Whitefoot nodded. Its one of those young Bears" said he. also in . whisper.
 They were right. It was Cubby Bear. Cubby had caught a glimpse Of Trader. He had seen where Trad or had disappeared at certain corner of the old sugar-house. He found hole there. He sniffed and he snuffed. Then he began to dig. You know. a Bear is a very gooI digger for very short time. Cubby made the dirt fly. But presently he reached the timber that he couldn' dig under. It discouraged him. He quit digging and began investigat- l. ing to see if there were not some other way of getting in. He went all around the sugar-house and at every crack he sniffed. Every time he snifted three little people inside shivered. H tried hooking his claws into some of the cracks and pulling, but this did him no good. Finally he climbed up on the roof.
 Now. as you know, there was a piece of stovepipe coming up through the roof to serve as chim- ney That stovepipe interested Cub by from the start. He tried to look down It. but he couldn't see any thing. He took a long sniff, with the result that he drew a lot ot soot up his nose. which was most unpleasant and made him cough badly. This made him lose his temper. He struck at that stovepipt and he struck hard. Now. this chimney was held in place by wires SO the first bloH that Cubby gave il merely dented t. He cuffed il again and he cuffed hard This time one of the wires broke. Again Cubby struck and another wire broke. By this time that piece of stovepipe was all battered up Fin ally. it came apart and rolled down the roof hanging by one wire. All that was left was what looked like . hole in the roof. Cubby stopped to investigate this. but he couldn't see anything. You see. another length of that pipe continued on down inside.
 Cubby sniffed as he had sniffed before and the same thing hap pened He coughed and he sn.ezcf and wanted to fight something. but

afternoon nothing is nicer than one of the velveteen suits, with a lame blouse in silver or gold, with some color.
 Chic Little Blouse With q bright medium blue suit, an especially charming blouse is one of silver lame with . striped weave that uses just enough blue threads in it to make it perfect with the suit. Blouses this winter, take . touch of trimming, as does this one with a criss-cross of the suits ma. terial dewn its front and for cuifs.
 For service and chic combined. . tatfeta evening gown is admirable. Fashioned of fine material. | tsfSeta really needs no trimming save those made from its own material, such as crimson, clematic, fuchsia or hlue.
 Yvonne Carette uses tafeeta after the manner of tulle or chiffon in | crimson evening gown with long,. moulded bodice and . skirt that flares from the hipline with bows and streamers of self material. It has pointed. uneven dips to its skirtline, with more length in the back. But it gets away from the hustle idea of fullness by having al. most suggestion of the bouffant gown in the way its skirt is posed on the moulded silhouette.

there wasn't anything to fight He jumped at the piece of stovepipe still hanging by a wire and down to the ground they went together, so, of course. the wire broke.
