East Hampton, l.. l., Aug. & Social Registrites deluxed the an- nual benefit street fair here this year until it was a gorgeous pageant with colorful booths, fascinating grab trees" stunning fashion show and everything you could think of to eat, wear or look at of fered for sale by fascinating dam sels in fancy dress.
 Most of those present looked so altogether charming that they might have been willing to wear the costumes not alone for sweet charity, but for their own sakes.
 Some of the fashions highlighted the mode in cut, color and novelty.
 Pajamas Go Native
 Pajamas for instance. have gone quite native, judging by those worn by Mrs. A. Lawrence Dowd and Mrs. Frank F. Shepard. Both had stunning suits of wide, colorful, t1aring trousers, and the regulation length coats topped by coolie hats novelties of wide, mushroom brims in natural colored straw-the kind coolies actually wear!
 The beret is the one and only proper headgear to wear with swim. ming suits! Among those who at- tested this with the most chic were Mrs. Chester Palmer and Mrs. Cliff. ford Mccall, the former in a jaunty scarlet one, the latter in a sapphire blue.
 Along with the turbaned, swath. ed or bereted head, necklines arc changing. The crew neck is rivalled by the collegiate-a new, close-to' the neck one fastens with a little frog or button like a Chinese neck but has no standing collar. Frances Hyde, selling rich. fattening food. stuffs at a most appealing counter wore a green silk, doub!e-tiered frock with a collegiate neck fasten. ed by bits of jade.

 "We'd better hustle back" Dicky said as he put Mary's check book 1nd bank book in his breast pocket. I've don't want Mary to get any ideas into her head. No you don't need to do any falsifying, direct or tacit, about this Just leave it 10 me. My conscience is so weatherbeaten, a mark or two more won't matter in the least. Besides. we haze no choice. We simply must know what she's up to-"
 My common sense agreed with him, but some deeper feeling rebeli- ed I knew, however that there was no course for me but silence and I kept to its strictly when after the return of the young girls from the soda fountain, Dicky said with a casual air:
 II telephoned to Katie just now, Kit sat. and she promised to turn house oopside down to find your case and keep it for you"
 Marion laughed delightedly at Dickys mimickry-from her child hood Lillian's young daughter has been a whole audience in herself for his drollery-but Mary's laughter while prompt was distinctly forced to initiated ears.
 Thank you so much, Uncle ncky," she said. T do hope Katie won't have hard time finding 1t. V

 Her eyes were questioning as Dicky took her arm and drew her aside. gesturing to me to come with them But my attention for the mo- ment had been switched from Mary. I had seen the quick resentment flame in Marion Morton's eyes at Dicky's tacit inclusion of her in the Underwood clan" and realized that she still was cherishing the aversion to her stepfather which was making her mother so unhappy.

Hunting was not proving very | profitable. There were two hungry babies in the nest of King Eagle and it was amazing how much they could eat They kept their mother and father looking for sod for them most of the time during the l hours of daylight On one or two days King Eagle had had very good | success He had brought home a | duck. He had brought home rab- bit. But to keep two young eaglets growing more than an occasional duck and rabbit is needed. So both King Eagle and Mrs. Eagle went looking for fish. They were not par ticular whether the fish were alive or dead, and not awfully fussy as to how long the dead ones had been dead. Fish were fish.
 King Eagle had been up and down the Great River. He had been around the shores of the lake. There were no dead fish. If he was to have a fish he must catch one.
 Now, while King Eagle is not as
 
 Osprey, he is not so bad as he might be. He is a little clumsy, but he does catch fish. He sailed out over the lake. His sharp eyes looked down into the water. From up in the blue, blue sky. he could see long distance into the water, and he saw many fish. Also, he saw that most of them were to deep in the water for him to catch. A fish must be at the surface. It was very tantalizng to see those fish down below and know that he couldn't catch one.
 But at last King Eagle saw q good sized fish close to the sur face The water was smooth. King Eagle swung over the fish. And then, just as he was ready to make the plunge, an astonishing thing happened. Another fisherman shot down and seized that fish! It was Plunger the Osprey. Yes. sir, it was Plunger the Osprey. At first King Eagle completely lost his temper. Such impudence' It was not to be borne. And then, King Eagle was glad it had happened. He might have missed that fish, but Plunger hadn't. Plunger had driven his great claws into it and was now Tapping heavily to lift it. King Eagle chuckled to himself, He in- tended to have that fish. He in tended to make Plunger drop if and himself seize it before he could es- cape. But he wanted Plunger 10 get well up in the air.
 Why doesn't he come up" said King Eagle to himself. What is the matter with him anyway? What is he staying down there on the water for2 Does he think he can fool me by doing that
 It did seem as If Plunger was staying down on the water. As a matter of fact, he had struck fish too heavy for him 10 lift. He could get it just clear of the water and then down it would go again and Plunger with it. The trouble was he couldn't let go. His claws were SC caught in It that he couldn't let go He was doing his best, Tapping, flap. ping, Tapping with those big wings Of his, and all the time that king Eagle was wondering what Wa. happening, Plunger the Osprey wa growing more and more tired and as wondering. too. He was wonder. ing if that fish would succe ed ir pulling him into the water ana drowning him. He was terrIbl, frightened was Plunger the Osprey He was so frightened that he wasn even aware that King Eagle Wal watching him from above.
 All the time King Eagle was los ing patience. He wanted that fisf

striped and lowered frocks they wore while selling hot-dogs to folks who were not hungry.
 Evening brings us the biggest change in frocks, it seemed, from watching the fashion mannikens. They now are white, vivid colors or street shades. All evening skirts are longer, whether they dip. flare or hang straight. The picture frock has a big place in the new mode.
 Organdie at its best characterizes the picture Elinor Bronaugh made in a delectable pink period frock. with ruffled long. full skirt, a moulded bodice and big ross and pink sash trailing along behind her. The length was perhaps it's most noticeable feature.

BATHROOM CARE

If each person in family has his own towel rack and toothbrush holder, much confusion is saved. The children's racks should be low enough for them to reach handily and they should be taught to spread their towels out properly after using.
