SUMMERTIME
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

All the dreamy leisure of a Virginia
Summer day is in the poised fight of
q buZZard overhead. 1t is a curious
4 ct that not only does distance lend
,tchantment to the buzzard since he is
hideouS creature seen near at hand,
but one buzZard balancing becalmed in
the Summer sky is much more beau
tiful than 10 of his brothers. The rea-
son is that when We see many buzzards
we know we are near carrion. and the
unlovely work of buzzards is something
to be grateful for but forgotten.
Wherever the carcass is, there shall the
vultures BE- gathered together.
Above all other birds, the buzzards
are the vultures of America. But for
them the woods would BE- Uttered with
clowly rotting dead animals. The buzz
yards make short work of them, and
are, If mistake not, under the protec-
ton of the law. Not that anybody
would want to eat one of the fellows
and not that buzzard could be easily
shot, for all his size
The buzzards are always to me part
of any Southern landscape. They are
almost never seen in Northern Illinois
and New England, nor do they migrate
much except perhaps a little at the
northern limit of their ranga. The
farther south you 60 the more you see
of these majestic sailors, though, of
course. from Charleston southwark you
m -et the carrion crow, the king buzz
gard and even the troupial. But here
about you will see none of those tropi-
cal species, but only our one sentincl
spiralling above the clouds, who seems
seldom to need even to flap his wings,
but. as If suspended by an invisible
cord from the zenith, hangs all day in
the Summer blue.

also dean of the Washington diplomatic
corps. one Of the most cherished honors
In diplomacy.
His first real post was at San An
tonic. although he will tell you that
among his duties there was that Of
Office boy. Then he went to Van
couver, and from there to Japan, where
he was consul for 10 years.
It was while he was in japan that
the whole foreign service of Mexico
was discharged without money being
provided to get the members back
home. But Teller sold his personal eff
fects. managed to get hold of some i'm
portant state papers and at the risk Of
his life got them back safely to Mexico.
His reward was to be sent back as
charge d'affaires at Toxic. There he
served during the World War.
He was all set first to go to Peiping
then to Brussels. but almost at a mo-
ment's notice was ordered to Washing
ton to serve under Ambassador Bonillas
In 1924 Gales elevated him to the
ambaSadorship. and he has been in
Washington ever since.

Cool rooms for hot days are what
every homemaker delights to have in
her home, and they are appreciated by
every member of the family. The cool
ness may be actually, or it may be
partially psychological That is, actual
GOODNESS may be almost impossible to
secure, but the rooms and the light
may be so we'll arranged that an effect
of GOODNESS is acquired.
To produce the genuine lower tenn
perature there are definite things that
can be done. For example, since light
and heat are reckoned as one energy
force, the reverse IS true and darkness
and cold have similar properties.
Therefore to have rooms cool they can
not be flooded with light. It must be
so regulated In accord with the breeze
that soft light and circulation Of air
can be the result.
Awnings, especially those that have
side pieces as well as top canvas, are
protection against the glare Of sun
shine, and at the same time they per-
nit breezes, even the slightest that
stir to enter the room. The shades
should be lowered to the height to
which the window Is raised. If there
are no awnings, shades have to be kept
down often to cover the entire window.
If the wind is blowing, they nap in SO
annoying q way that there Is no choice
but to lower the window or endure the

Twins Have Playmates.
Little folk will pine away
Unless they have q chance to play.
Mrs Fleetfoot

Play is just as necessary for growing
children as is food and drink. Truth
to tell, little play now and then Is
equally good for older folk Kid Ante
lope and his twin sister had each other
and their Mother to play with, but
sometimes they wished for new play
mates. Day after day they saw no one
of their own kind.
Are we the only Antelopes?" asked
the Kid one morning.
mo indeed" replied Mother prompt
ly. There are others somewhere on
the Broad Prairie and some day we will
see them"
will there be other kids for us to
play within" asked Kid Antelope visit
fully.
Il hope So" replied Mother, II am
quite sure there will be-"
II hope so, too" said Sister. What
Is it you see now?"
Mrs. F1eetfoot was standing still with
her head held high, looking far across
the prairie. The twins held their heads
as high as they could and looked too.
Did you see a flash way over there
just them" asked Mrs. F1eetfoot pres
emily.
Il did," replied the Kid promptly.
What was it?"
"A signal" replied Mother There it
is again. Some one has seen us and is
signaling to us. We will go that way"
She started of, but she didn't hurry.
In fact she stopped every few steps for
a mouthful of grass, and she didn't go
straight toward the place where they
had seen the flashes and where they
continued to see them from time to
time. Kid Antelope noticed that now
and then his Mothers signal patch
would fare out to its full size, but there
was no musky odor and SO it did not
mean danger. He guessed that she was
answering those distant signals.
After awhile he could see some tiny
specks where those signals came from
and a little later he could see two An
telopes who looked very much like his
Mother. and with them, playing about,
were three kids. Young Antelopes are
called kids just as young Goats are.
Slowly they drew nearer, and at last
they met. The big Antelopes were old
friends of Mrs. F1eetfoot's, and right
away they began to exchange news,
leaving the kids to get acquainted.
There was one pair of twins and one
who had no brotheE or sister.
At first there was much bashfulness.

the benefit of awnings at windows
where the sun shines in are almost
indispensable to secure cool rooms IN
hot weather.
There are some homemakers who
are particular to air their rooms dur

goes down, up goes every window and
so it remains until the morning when
all are shut and shades drawn. In
this way it is only the coolest air that
is permitted to enter the house.

glazed cotton or chintz, as it is termed,

gether.
The brim is made in two sections.
To make it, take any brimmed hat OF
the desired size and lay 1t on paper
and trace off the curve of the brim.
Remember that the brim in this hat
extends only across the side and front.
It should be about two inches wide at
the front. Draw a brim section from
your paper tracing, cut 1t out and use
for a pattern. Make two of these Sec
tions and stitch them together along
the outside edge. Turn right side out,
turn in the raw edges about "a inch
and sew to the crown so that the upper
section of the brim comes over the
crown and the under section of the
brim comes under the crown. If you
like you may place the two sections
together right side out and finish the
edges with narrow seam binding. The
back of the crown that is not finished
with the brim should be turned under
and hemmed or finished with the seam
binding.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLS.
Space and Time.

Within the last few years some ter
rifyingly curious, curiously terrifying
books have appeared. Books which rep
resent the flower of thought from the
best minds of the day. The picture they
present is one of utter despair in ever
being able to, understand our universe.
The astronomers are the most terri
flying. They speak of distance we can't
even begin to imagine. Whatever our
home in space may be, we get the no.
ton that our earth means practically
nothing in comparison with the vast
reaches out among the stars A strange
loneliness creeps upon us as we con-
template the stars in the light of mod
ern ASTRONOMY
The other terrifyingly great curiousity
is urged by the biologists. This time
the curiosity of science pushes us back
on the calendar of time. Everything is
hoary with age. 1t is no longer prac-
teal to think in terms of millions of
years. Despite the fact that million
is beyond the average grasp, We are
asked to think in terms of cons. What
is an con? We know practically moth
ing about our ancient ancestry. Our
knowledge can at best be guess. AL
most any guess is right
The upShot of it all is this: Space
and time, the very things with which
we think we are most acquainted, turn
out to be the most unapproachable in
finities.

IN June, short, plump little greenish
caterpillarS, with spots of black
and yellow, climb the stems of all
i grasses. For days they have filled
themselves with the tender leaves
of low-growing plants, such as the
clover, vetch and birds foot. Now 1t is
time to make change, and so they go
strolling up the stem in search Of a
spot on which to build snug little
house where they may complete their
growing-up safely.
They fasten the foundation to their
spindle-shaped homes with a "stickem"
that holds the cradle firmly to the stem.
1t is a glazed yellow with paperlike
texture. Inside of this little case the
occupant is rocked by the breezes as he
grows up. Later he peeps out Of his

cling to their discarded dwellings or
crawl to a nearby flower while their
wings expand.
They are very lovely, indeed-of

They make pretty picture when

ing their Quaker meetings." for so still
do they stand and so intent upon the
business OF the day are they that you
can sever the stem of the flower and
take the whole company along with
you. Whatever they are concentrating
upon, goes on. Being removed from
their surroundings does not seem to
disturb them in the least.
Daisy, dandelion and thistle seem to
be their favorite flower. The moths
have dark-green bodies, slender feelers,
threadlike legs and beautifully marked
wings. The fore wings are dark green,
with crimson spots in pairs on them,
while the hind wings are crimson,
edged with the same dark green. Their
favorite places seem to be among the
sand hills or near sea cliffs. There are
several species. Some have more spots
OF crimson on the fore wings and others

Dresses for Summer evenings OF
plain and eyelet-embroidered organdie
are cool and delightful Especially in
white or In yellow. Yellow is turning
out to be one of the best Of the Sum-
mer's colors When it was first advo-
Gated in the Spring women worried be-
cause it is, supposedly. difficult color
to wear. The beauty shops made g
speciality of giving advice on makeup
to don when one wore yellow. But lots
of women now wear yellow who don,
wear make-up-save little rouge OF
lipstick, and enough powder to keep the
skin from cleaning. Yellow, it seems. is
nothing to be afraid Of. 1t is surpriS-
ingly becoming to the healthy skin of
Midsummer, that has been tanned by
the sun and flushed by exercise.

flower sprays-in blue and pink, yellow

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

Every day massage your scalp for at
least 10 minutes and brush your hair
well. Never mind if some hairs come
out. If they are not alive enough to
stay in when brushed they should make
room for new growth. Every other
night apply the following scalp salve:
One and one-half teaSpoonfulS flowers
of sulphur, two onceS carbolated
vaseline, ten grains quinine. one ounce
olive oil, one ounce witchhazel Use
the oil treatment and sampoo twice a
month.
90 Since scalp and complexion
both are dry. the fault may lie in lack
of physical fitness. Perhaps you are
underweight or do not have a properly
balanced diet. I have leaflet on the
care of dry skins which I shall be glad
to mail you. Please send a stamped
addressed envelope with your request
for this leaf1et. The whiteheads are
clogged oil glands. and their presence
indicates a sluggish skin. Proper clean
sing methods, as outlined in the leaflet
just mentioned. will help correct its
cause. The whiteheadS you already have
should be opened with sterilizod needle
and the contents pressed out. Treat the
skin with an antiseptic wash both be-
fore and after the operation.

Dear Miss Leeds.-Q I have a lot
of freckles and have been using lemon
cream for them without success. How
can remove them? (2) I am 16 years
old, 5 feet inches tall and weigh lit
pounds. Is that too heavy?
FRECKLES.
Answer-G) 1t is not always pos
sible to remove freckles entirely, espe-
cially in Summer time when ones face
is so often exposed to the sunlight. All
you can do is to protect your skin as
much as possible and use a mild bleach
such as you are using. A suntan liquid
powder would make a good protection
for your complexion and arms. Try
simple bleaching lotion made of equal
parts of lemon juice, glycerin and rose
water. This may be used as base for
dry powder during the day and may
also be applied after the skin is
cleansed at bed time. Wash it off the
next morning.

helped her mother prepare lunch. II
she had a little time left she read a
book, or a newspaper, or did some sew
ing Then she and her mother had
lunch together.
After lunch she would call fc- her
best girl friend and take walk. If it
was Saturday afternoon perhaps they
went to matinee, or they would sit
IN t>c park and watch people go by.
Then home again to help her mother
prepare supper.
After supper she would go up to her
room, dress carefully and do her hair.
Then she sat down and waited until
her beau called. If she knew the game
she'd probably have beau every eve
ming. If she didn't she'd have one
maybe once a week. Perhaps on Sat
urday he would take her to the thea
ter or to dance.
So when she did meet a young man
she was always on her mettle, always
a little Self-consciouS, always wonder
ing If her hair was exactly right.
Meeting a man was, you see, always a
special occasion. Even meeting a
strange girl was an event
Think how different is the life OF
the girl who works in an Office, or n
store. She hasn't the time to prepare
herself especially, every time she meets
a man. She meets so many people all
day long as part of her work that she
hasn't time to be self conscious. She
is too busy with something else. She
Is much more a tease with men, much
less worried about what they think Of
her. much more natural. So that
working in Office, shop or store becomes
an excellent social training.
The girls who work altogether with
other women are out of luck, because
it's more fun to work with men than
with women only But even these girls
are much less frightened by strangers
than the old-fashioned girl. You can
not make these girls stammer at the
sight of a new person.
All this is just as true of the wealthy
girl who goes to college or spends her
days swimming, riding or playing ten
mis- with men. But even she Is not
usually so completely at ease with men
