AUTUMN
By D. c. PEATTIE.

AS the time for the dahlia shows
draws near there is appreciable in the
suburbs just north of the District 4
pleaSureable air of excitement. felt
throughout the Maryland dahlia belt,
which Is also. In season, the iris belt,
then the rose belt, then the larkspur
and lily belt.
In the suburbs Of Takoma Park,
Chevy Chase, Silver Spring and points
adjacent, where the rake and spade,
the seed packet and the garden hose
reign supreme, are grown some Of the
finest dahliaS have seen in America.
Many OF us can remember when Au-
tun1n, that brought the dahlia show.
was the bane Of the esthetically sensi-
tive. But gone are the rank colors. the
clumsy forms and all the general air
OF blowsinesS, STIFFNESS, business and
righteousness that once branded the
dahliaS as the most philist.ne Of flowers.
Just as xinnias, ff1arigol6s and calendu-
las have menced their manners and
received the attentions of beauty spe-
eialists, so dahlias, too, have Joined the
ranks Of refurbished and revivified Au-
tumn flowers. And just in time; they
almost suffered the fate Of tuberoses,
cannon-ball chrysanthemuns and ca
melliaS, which were once popular.
The flower shapes, too, have changed.
We no longer see the monotonous
shapes that made a critic write of the
dahlia that 1t was "ehub-faced" and
looked as II carved out Of soap or lard.
The cactus or decorative hybrids are
now In style, and life and movement
have come back TO the flower that had
been so woefully altered into q double
blossom from its original single state.

Beauty Kit.

Many other readers may be In the
same plight as one beauty seeker who
wrote recently. saying: Miss Leeds,
will you please tell me exactly what
belongs In q woman's beauty kit? The
cosmetic counters seem to prove too
much Of a temptation to me-. The
beautiful containers and the glowing
promises OF each product lead me to
buy until my dressing table looks like
well stocked beauty shop and yet I
don't know If I have what you would
consider the real essentials for an
average woman"
Yes, dear reader, aren't those lovely
containers and their assurances Of
loneliness just too tempting? I am
glad to give you list Of essentials for
milady's beauty kit, for I know that
many others viii be glad to have such

Manners and Customs.

There could be no society without
its manners and customs. 1t would be
impossible for men to get along II they
did not expect their neighbors to react
In conformity to custom. Everyday
life would be so complex that the ener-
gies of men would be absorbed in fgur-
ing out what to do next
Manners and customs simplify So
ciety. Take away the visiting cards
and other amenities of polite society
and We would have very few friends.
In all social comings and goings we
would be obliged to use candid ex-
plantations, many Of which would be
painfully irritating.
Manners and customs are, Of course,
nothing but social habits which the
group has accepted. In time they be-
come so forceful as to seem natural"
Most of our so-called natural rights
are only social habits.
According to William James. Habit
is the enormous dywheel Of society, its
most precious conservative agent. II
alone is what keeps US all within the
bounds of ordinance and saves the
children Of fortune from the envious
uprisings Of the poor"

inal from which our sketch is made the
scarf and cuffs were made from silk
showing fairly large polka dot.
1t Is so simple that only q few words
of explanation will be necessary. The
scarf and collar drapery consist of one
long strip Of material. The length will
depend on your own height. so the best
way to get the measurements is to
measure yourself from the point of the
V-neckline in front, around one side,
across the back and down over the
other shoulder to the hem of the skirt,
allowing an inch or so for the drawing
in of the scarf at the belt. 1t is best
to make the scarf double, so that If you
want 1t a little less than 5 inches wide
finished you should make a strip 10
inches wide. Fold over. stitch along the
edge and draw inside out and finish at
the ends.
The cuff decorations are made from
the same sort of silk in the form of
undersleeves slipped under the ends of

Fire Prevention Notes
BY c. S. WEBB, Forester Supervisor.
Kootenai National Forest.

Well, folks. it seems good to look
around at the green hills and see the
air all cleared of smoke again. Let's
all do our part in keeping it clear. 1t
would be nice to be able to say, when
smoke gathers in our valley, that it is
coming from over in Idaho or some
other place. Last week, however, we
made most of our own smoke. Some
days looked like the grim days of
August in %.
AS said before, fire is often put to
good use and when SO used carefully
and wisely for good purpose there
can be no objection to its use. The idea
is we must stop useless damage as a
result of not putting out completely
our useful fires after they have served
their useful. purpose.
No danger today, things are pretty
wet. All right, SO it is, but let's not
allow ourselves to become careless be-
cause we have been favored with lit
tie dampness.
The fishing season opens today Many
of us will go fishing or picnicking Sun
day and probably many will need Q
little camp fire. A campfire permit
is not required at this time. But STOP
and think, it may become more dry
tomorrow. SO build your fire out ir
the open away from brush, stumps OF
logs. Do not leave an old decayed log
smouldering which in few days late
| MAY flare up and spread a fire only
to burn over acres of our favorite rec
reational spot or Of valuable timber
Be sure to put your fire out DEAL
OUT before you leave it Use lots O
water, turn over the chunks, dousi
them thoroughly and feel with you
] hands to make sure it is dead out
/ Be careful with the matches and burn
! ing cigarettes or tobacco
