Youthful Frock.

Simplifed illustrated instructions for
cutting and sewing are included with
each pattern. They give complete direc-
tions for making these dresses.
The young miss and the youthful
matrcn will instantly take to this ador-
able frock, No. l78, because of its en-
gaging air. Here is revealed a smart
simplicity, enlivened by intriguing de-
tails. Quite dashing are the pannier hip
pockets and also quite the thing, by the
way OF style interest, too. is the novel
sleeve, while the cowl neckline gives
such a pleasing softness. The skirt,
though conforming to the slim sill
houette. evinces a slight fullness, which
renders this frock particularly becoming
to the petite figure 1t is featured in
the new cadet blue. Designed in sizes

more and more water back, until at
last there was the fine pond in which
he now had his home He explained
how, last Fall, he and Mrs. Paddy had
made another pond above this one by
building a second dam in order that
they might float their food-logs down
to the food pile in this pond.
But wasn't that a great deal of
work." asked Jerry.
"Of course, it was a great deal of
work. but anything worth having is
worth working for retorted Paddy.
The important thing is to have your
work well planned before starting it.
Working without a plan is time and
effort wasted. Whatever 1 do is first
carefully planned. This dam had to be
built in just the right place and 1t was.
1t was the same way with that other
dam up there. My house over yonder
was just as carefully planned and so
were all my canals"
Have you canals?" cried Jerry.
"Of course" replied Paddy. There
are times when canals are almost as
important as a dam. Would you like
to see one of my canals?"
81 would love to-" replied Jerry.

y OFT effects are being featured to-
day in interior decoration more
than they have been for nearly
~ or quite generation. 1t is an
era of textile trimmings for
rooms. The return of the por-
there appears imminent. We have be-
come we'll accustomed to wall hangings
instead of pictures as ornaments. 1t is
interesting to note that this revival
was coincident with the peculiar type
of paintings called modernistic. Hand
some hangings evidently appealed TO
decorators and owners of homes as more
artisticaly pleasing than lopsided
houses, trees of any verbiage for leaves,
human figures of distorted proportions.
etc. But the fact is that wall hang
ings become increasingly popular with
the rise of this type or art.
These hangings mellow the austerity
of walls. Moreover. it is quite within
the province Of the homemaKer to work
beautiful hangings for ner house. The
requests for needlework pictures re-
ceived from readers stressed this point
in this department and the quaint
tandem-coach design for cross stitch on
canvas was designed especially to meet
this demand The small charge of 10
cents for it seemed to be well appre-
ciated Sy readers.
Another instance Of the return of
soft effects in decoration Is noticed in
dresser and bureau sets. No longer are
these given the hard finish of plate
glass covering. The sets themselves top
the furniture. Many of THESE sets have
fluted edges or lace-edged rufles.
Lace certainly is in evidence in rooms
of today. It's beautiful softness lends
charm to dining room tables and side
boards. Spreads Of heavy or sheer pat
termed lace often Of real Lace, give
luxurious daintiness to peds and pillow
covers. Windows, too. come in for their
share of exquisite hancmade lace cur
tains to vie with plain net. From the
point of view of softness, lace holds the
highest place in this modern decoration.

The bride of this summer now wor.
 ries all night,
 Her in-Iaws and friends she must
 quickly invite To see her new home, and to eat
 of her cake
 But what can she serve them, for
 pity's dear sake?
 Most brides are bewildered at the thought of having five or six guests at dinner. This meal busi- ness is all so new that the fingers seem all thumbs when 1t comes to getting a meal prepared so that all the hot dishes are prepared at the same time.
 The following menu will please any guest, and 1t Is planned so as not to exhaust the hostess who has had very little cooking experi- ence.
 Half cantaloupe with pineapple
 Dreaded veal chops
 Parsley potatoes
 Cauliflower and peas
 Coffee jelly Whipped cream Brownies
 All the marketing can be done on the previous day except for the rolls and the meat, which should be purchased the same day that they are to be used. The canta- loupe (buy small ones for this pur, pose) should be washed and placed on ice the day before, with a can of sliced pineapple. This is a sure guarantee that the first course will be icy cold.
 The brides schedule for the day of the dinner should be somewhat as follows: make coffee, jelly im- mediately after breakfast, even be- fore the table is cleared. Set to cool. Next stir up up the brownies and put in the oven to bake.
 After lunch, bread chops and place in ice-box. Open pineapple and cut up, ready to put in canta- loupe just before serving. Wash cauliflower, shell peas, if fresh ones are to be used. If not, open the canned ones and drain. Chop par- sley into a small pan with amount of butter needed for potatoes. Whip cream,, cut, the butter ready for the table, and place all these things in the refrigerator. Peel potatoes, and cover with cold wa: ter until time to be cooked. Last ly, set the table. Now there should be a good hour left before time to dress and start the dinner. Rest so as to be fresh for the guests.
 Return to the kitchen one hour before the guests are due to arr rive. Light the oven so 1t can be getting hot while the chops are browning on top.
