Frocks of Linen and Fine Cotton
BY MARY MARSHALL.

of using starch and ironing frocks that
have been starched may be revived.
Bingham and pique and linens OF
various weights stand out as the
materials chosen for morning and
sports frocks. Wolfe and batiSte are
most favored Of the lighter materials
for evening and afternoon frocks.
Eponge and gabardine are two old
time cotton materials that have been
revived. The former Is loosely, rough
material with the hubby appearance
that is now so much admired IN wooden
materials and lends itself admirably to
sports coats and jackets and to the
lighter sort of beach wraps.
Of especial interest to the woman
who plans to make some OF her own
Summer costumes are the new printed
piques with batiste or other fairly thin
cotton material printed to match. A
few seasons ago we had chiffon and
crepe de chine printed to natch-and
now We have the same idea applied to
cottons.
An old-time wooden material that has
been revived this Spring Is etamire,
which was mentioned especially in re-
cent accounts of the new things shown
by Jean Patou. Wolfe in both cotton
and linen has been mentioned and
there are many basket weaves. And
so goes forward the vogue for loosely
woven rougher types Of material. Some
Of the newer imported tweeds are mark
ed by this characteristic, being lighter
and less closely woven than those We
have been seeing.
In response to the request from many
readers we are Offering this week a
diagram pattern for two little garments
for the wee baby-a gown and a tiny
shirt. From these two patterns you
may make all the little gowns. frocks,
kimonos. bathrobes, etc, that baby will
reed for his first outfit. If you would
like a copy of this Illustrated circular
please send me your stamped. self-ad-
dressed envelope and I will be very
glad to send it to you, without charge.

Around q garden was fence OF hazel

the center of the garden stood rose

snail. who had a great deal In him, &C

IT shall do a great deal more than to
yield roses or to bear nuts, or to give
milk as cows do"
"I expect a lot from you," said the
rosebush. May ask when 1t IS TO
come forth?"
IT shall take my time" replied the
snail. You are always in such hurry
with your work, that curiosity about it Is
never excited"
The following year the snail lay,
almost In the same spot as formerly. in
the sunshine under the rosebush, which
was already in bud, and the buds began
to expand into full-blown flowers, all
ways fresh, always new. And the snail
crept half out, stretched forth its feelers,
and then drew them in again.
Everything looks just the same as last
year; there is no progress to be seen
anywhere. The rosebush is covered with

A new year commenced, the rosebush
revived, and the snail came forth again.
"You are now only an old stick Of a

wither away soon. You have given the
world all that was in you. Whether
that were worth much or not, Is ques-

And so the snail withdrew into his
house and closed 1t up.
What a sad pity it Isl" exclaimed
the rosebush. II cannot creep into
shelter, however much I might wish 1t.
I must always spring out, spring out
into roses. The leaves fall OF and they
fly away on the wind. But saw one
of the roses laid In a psalm book be-
longing to the mistress Of the house;
another of my roses was placed on the
breast of young and beautiful girl
and another was kissed by child's soft
lips in an ecstacy Of JOY. I was 80
charmed at all this; 1t was real hap
piness to me-one Of the pleasant re-
membranes of my life
And the rosebush bloomed on In In
nocence while the snail retired into his
Shiny house-the world was nothing to
him!
Years few by!
The snail had returned to earth, the
rosebush had returned to earth; also
the dried rose leaf in the psalm book
had disappeared, but new rosebushes
bloomed in the garden and new snails
we're there: they crept into their houses,
spitting-the world was nothing to
them.
Shall we read their history, too? It
would not be different.

The average man has never learned to
concentrate. You can teach yourself to
do 1t. Try to think on a single subject
for so seconds. When the minute is
up, write down a list of your mental
wanderings Try this half-dozen times
and then study the results. You will
begin to see where your time goes.
Something like 80 per cent Of 1t is vast
ed on these wanderings-trif1es that bob
up here and there from some seeming
nowhere. There's virtue in introspec-
ton Of this sort.
But this nowhere Is within. It is
you and your habits. You can make a
somewhere out of this nowhere with a
little practice. There is no shortcut
to this, the best of all forms of educa-
ton. Once you find out how to con-
centrate, keep on concentrating. You
will find that you are prepared to ac-
complish at least twice as much in half
the time you have actually been spend
ing on your daily tasks.

Everyday Law Cases
When May Verbal Promise to Pay
the Debt OF Another Be Valid?
BY THE COUNSELOR.

Harold Bates was a principal stock
holder in the Star Merchandise Cor
poration.
When the corporation ordered bill
Of goods from the Henry Co. the order
was rejected with the assertion that its
credit had been withdrawn. There
upon Bates called upon the Henry Co.
and promised to be personally re-
sponsible for the payment of the order.
Upon this promise the Henry Co. filled
the order and billed Bates personally.
When payment Of the bill fell due
Bates refused to pay, declaring that as
his guarantee Of the account was not in
writing 1t was invalid as in contraven-
ton Of the statute of frauds. At the
trial Of the suit brought against Bates.
counsel for the Henry Co. maintained
that Bates promise was an original and
independent undertaking and as such
was out Of the operation Of the statute.
The court upheld the contention Of
the Henry Co. and awarded judgment
against Bates, stating:
"If the leading object Of party
promising to pay the debt OF another
Is to promote his own interest, and not
to become guarantor, and the promise is
made on sufficient consideration the
promise is an original undertaking, and
1t will be valid, though not in writing"

Everyday Psychology.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.
Wasted Time.

It's a good practice about once q week
to take an hour of and look over your
time expense You will be sur
prised at your own extravaganza.
One Of the first things you will prob
ably discover is that even the simplest
activities take too much time. Old
Dame Nature seems not to have paid too
much attention to the expenditure OF
time when she started In to make man.
That's why there are so many time
MASTERS in the world today. A lot OF
men and women imagine they are &C
complishing things by Illuminating all
day over a lot of details which, after all,
take care Of themselves as the situations
to which they belong naturally unfold.
Such occupations lead directly into day
dreaming and then, of course. into fan
cies about ones self-importance.
The way to salvage time Is to con-
centrate. One way to concentrate Is to
keep away from those who insist on
helping you spend your time. The
amount of idle, useless talk that goes
on In this world is appalling.
