It takes long time to roll up q ball
of string, but on the other hand it un-
rolls itself as quick as anything II you
keep on axsidently dropping 1t.
This proves you half to do awful
lot of things rite to make up for just
few mistakes.
Anybody can put knots In string but
it takes a lady to get them out again,
partly on account of their long patience
and partly on account of their long nm
ger males.
Most people are more afraid of a short
tite knott than what they are Of long
loose tangle.
This proves meer size is not as impor-
tant as ability.
Some people always roll up short
peeces of string neetly and save them,
wich would be a even more useful habit
than what it is If they could ony re-
member where they put them.
II you tie knott insted of a bow In

~ ner sport which is increasing in
popularity in America. Doctors have
impressed every one with the i,1por-
lance of living in the sunshine end

including dining, Is being carried on
under the blue sky.
Dining outdoors used to mean dinner
at some exclusive restaurant which
boosted a terrace CT court. Now the
simple family repast is being served
outdoors.
The porch or veranda which serves
as an outdoor living room may also be
the scene of the family meals during
the hot weather. No ore wants a heavy
meal on hot day and the simple menu
may be prepared in the kitchen and
served on the porch with very little
bother.
Most porches already are furnished
with comfortable chairs, settee, pos
s;bly a swing and a bench. The read

as dining table. When the meal Is fin

Apswer-1 Squeeze out handker-
chief in hot water and wipe the outer
parts of the ears. Now rub some soap
on the cloth and rub again. Repeat
several times. Do this every day and
I think the blackheads will soon dis
appear. Finish the treatment by wip-

Judith Dresses Up Her
Bed Room.
By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Judith Lacey had reached the stage
where she wanted to do things with her
bed room. SHE pored over the pictures
in the magazines, looked critically at
rooms shown in the movies. studied all
the model rooms in department stores
and generally made herself intelligent
on the subject. She was sure, at this
stage. that she wanted to be an interior
decorator

harsher note Of FURNISHED metal. There
are some engraved brass frames that
are handsome.
There is a richness to fooled leather
frames that suggests Florentine ele-
gance. Photographs in such frames
have q mellow tone impaired. The
standard easel or swivel frames are well
suited to rather large photographs.
These frames generally are of wood
crusted with gold-leaf or silvered. An
other style in wood that is choice and
artistic in beauty of workmanship and
design is the hanc-carved frame, wide
and with lace-like openwork. h
If the frame is to add decorative
element to q room, it should be chosen
not alone for its intrinsic beauty but
also because it lends itself we'll to the
photograph within it and the room
without.

Memorial Day brings to remembrance
those dear to us and who have gone to
/ their Long Home. We cherish their
photographs and always want to have
the setting for their faces as fine and
appropriate as possible. It is some
times q problem to get frames that
please us. A glance at a few of the
standard and easel types of frames may
prove helpful.
Among the exquisite frames for
photographs that are not large are
those of enamel in openwork floral de-
signs. The colors of the enamel give a
glow to the setting that is in accord
with our feelings about the person.
Also the framed photograph becomes a
decorative asset in a room. For tiny
pictures there are jeweled frames that
have the same ornamental quality.
Frames OF precious metals are chaste.

DanenhOuUer Comments On
Fact That Most Of Nautilus
CreU Come From Inland

all he knows. None of the crew
know much more than that, he says.
Most of the crew of the Nautilus are
now in Philadelphia overhauling the
ship. Mr.. DanenhOwer was asked IL
it wasn't rather odd that Captain
DanenhOwer, commander of the YES
sci, and incidentally cousin to the
man who is the subject of this ar
ticle is a man from Kentucky, en- in
land state. His answer was that the
largest per cent of the crew came
from an inland state or place, but
they are all experienced with work
on submarines. The advantage oil
that is that the men will know what
hard work as well as hardships they
should expect And when it comes
to the test of moral courage, that
remains to be seen. Some men you
would expect to act like heroes do
act that way and sometimes others
do not. Then again someone who
may not seem to be so courageous
may become a real hero. One never
knows. In fact when undertaking
such a trip, a man takes chance
on himself. He does not even know
what his own moral reaction is to
be. The best thing to do is wait
and hope and remember you're a
man.
And soon there will be those left
at home waiting and hoping and
praying for the best. For who, be-
side the Lord, knows how this will
end?

events, such as hikes, handicraft,
aesthetic dancing, and delegation to
conferences.
The Y. w. c. A. has established a
camp on the Indian River which is
called Camp Otonka, which is open
from the first of June until the last
of August. Any girl of Junior and
Senior High School, may so. Here
various outdoor, as well as indoor
sports are provided for, and many of
the things mentioned in the previous
paragraph. One year the busi-
ness men donated enough money
to send about ten of the Milford
girls, to give them an idea of what
camp life was like and to create an
interest in the camp and eventually
in the Y. w. c. A.
The outstanding things that the
G. r. have accomplished thus far
are: A dance festival. given during
the first year, Il Mother and Daugh-
ter banquet in the second and an
other in the third year, also during
this year the daughters gave their
mothers a buffet supper for st. Pat
ricl's Day. This present year the
Girl Reserves, under Miss Bowser,
as head, arc taking part in Red
Cross discussion group, which with
one meeting a week will extend
over about three months time. This
class is conducted as regular
study class and at the end of the
given time, those who have shown
themselves to be passing in the sub
ject will receive a certificate from
the National Red Cross. For those
who do not take part in this group,
Miss Alden, on the regular meeting
night is holding a handicraft class.
TO be a Girl Reserve means that

companions. words, you become
what you are. 1t brings to girls an
understanding and appreciation not
only of themselves but OF others, and
of God as creator and director of
their world. Good character depends
on good habits; good habits depend
on making wise choices. Ideals,
whether high or low, are sure to at
feet your choices. Look to your
ideals. A Girl Reserve will fad this
test for conduct useful in making Il
wise choice: what it does first to
what it does to others, what
it does now, and what it. does ulti-
mately.
These extracts from the Guide
Book for Senior High School Girl
Reserves can best explain the real
of Girl Reserves.
