Glass Given to World
by Phoenician Sailors !?

The discovery of glass, according
to the Roman, Pliny, was acciden-
tai. Some Phoenician sailors, he
relates, with a cargo Of carbonate
of soda, landed on the shore of Pal
estine. They could find no stones
on which to place their cooking
pots, so they substituted some
Jumps of their cargo for the stones.
When the fires were glowing, the
carbonate of soda melted and with
the sand Of the shore produced a
transparent stream which quickly
hardened. This chain of circum-
stances, so Pliny says, led to sub
seQuent experiments and the pro-
duction Of glass.
According to Egyptologists, the
ancient Egyptians made sham jew
els of glass at least 5000 years be-
fore Christ. Scarabs Of glass, imi-
tation rubies. emeralds, sapphires
have been found in old tombs. Glass
beads were a medium of barter
among many races.
In the days of ancient Rome, it
is said, glass was more precious
than gold or silver. The Emperor
Hadrian received as a kingly gift
several glass cups sent by an Egyp-
tian priest as a peace offering. Nero
paid, for two glass cups with dou-
Bile handles, a sum equal to $4,000.

The Devii's Marks

In many parts of the Emerald
isle there are to be found traces of
the devil. In beautiful Wicklow is
the Devils glen cut out by the angry
slashing of Old Nfck's tail when he
failed to lure a fair maiden from
her convent. In Tipperary is the Dew
IFS bite-a huge bite taken out of
the mountain range and spat down to
the plain below, where it still stands
as the Rock Of Cashel. Then, of
course, In Killarney is the Devils
punch bowl-but all it contains In

 Paris.-A slim line following the natural contours of the body. the waist adjustable to every type of figure and a noticeable shortening of all skirts for day wear are fea- lures stressed in the between-sea- son collection shown by Molyneux. While most of the models are des- tined to summer resort wear, this we'll known couturier has included number of creations that have Q de- cided town" look about them and will be worn by the majority of us who will be unable to spend much time at any resort if at all.
 That very humble medium in fashions scheme of things. cotton, is made to play the spectacular role in evening things once reserved to only the finest silks and satins. Colorful linens in special uncrush- able weaves fashion formal even- ing gowns suitable for Casino or gala affairs at the Country, club. Molyneux has also used cotton fabric to fashion two or three of his seven- -eights evenings wraps, but most of his cotton models are completed by velvet coats or capes of q contrasting color.
 It is astonishing how rich the combination of yellow linen and a deep russct brown velvet wrap can look. The color contrast is used on the gown itself in the form of q torsadcd belt of the line and vel- vet.
 While evening gowns showing the shorter underskirt effect arc still featured, most of Molyneux.s newest models are as near to. classi- cal lines as a modern creation can

 be. The skirts fall in straight slim lines In front, with fuliness introduced in the back seam in the form of a deep, pointed gore. White crepon, in the popular dull-sur-- faced quality, seems particularly favored by this creator. Touches of color are supplied by torsadcd straps and T-decoiletes, and one especially beautiful gown was shown with wreath of green leaves for a waistbelt. All skirts cover the instep and some arc longer.
 Among the new ideas sponsored are fur armlets attached to criss- cross straps and worn well above the elbow, leaving the top of the shoulders bare. Fox, by reason of its soft, silken long haired pelt. can be very flattering in this guise and with a white dress the possi- bilities are great as you might indulge in say one white and ono black set of these arm-muffs. A midnight blue top or rather whole bodice to q white crepe evening dress is another feature. and a green dress of heavy crepe closely resembling crinkly paper had a hem and floral bouquet of coq -de-roche chiffon.
 Black georgette ensembles, some times combined with white, offer chic solution for formal after noon wear. The tunic effect is still favorite with Molyneux and a three quarter length jacket tying close to the neck with a self-scarf would be a perfect thing for Il young girl for hot days or for the races. A narrow, straight collar of white carnations finished the neck of one of these black geor- gette ensembles.

 One day about five years ago one of my girls complained of . headache. She was tired and could not eat. The pain in the back of her head and neck. increased. In- stantiy sent for the doctor. never fool with a pain like that, particularly when it comes sudden ly out of Q clear sky, She had been in perfect health.
 He diagnosed 1t first ns fius but had my doubts. know flu and know typhoid. It was typhoid. Yet how could 1t happen? There was none in our town. We had a sanitary, sunny house, there seem- ed to be absolutely no way that a germ could find its way to her. felt disgraced. I had read some- where that 1t is a disgrace to have typhoid fever these days. that il points directly to dirt or con- taminated water or bad sewering. But we had 1t and what was the answer. We couldn't think of any picnic she had gone to where she might have drunk out of an un- inspected spring or well. Our own water supply was excellent, the house as clean as soap and water could make 1t (spring cleaning was just over and nobody in the en- tire county seemed to be down with the disease.
 Food Carried Germ I worried so much over the cause that the doctor sat down one I day and took the trouble to ease my mind. "In my opinion" he said she has eaten 1t. It has come in on fruit or vegetables not thor oughly washed. The. typhoid germ is not contagious but infectious. Il must be taken directly into the !, body to cause illness. It can be car- ried on lettuce grown in a garden patch where outdoor toilets are not looked after properly. It can also be carried any distance on fruit handled by some one who has been in direct contact with @ typhoid patient, and who has not disinfcct- ed his or her hands. Germs might come on almost anything--not only typhoid germs but other germs oi an infectious nature."
 We had washed all vegetables thoroughly, but I thought of the fruit. Had we hesitated to wash those delicious big strawberries Even shining ose-cheeked apples looked too immaculate at times to need a bath under the faucet. decided that 1t must have been the fruit.
 Ever since. that time have been Q perfect crank about washing any product handled by bare hands. It does not pay to take chance.
 It is spring. Our diets include twice as much fruit and garden produce as they did in winter. We should be careful. There is not much typhoid and am not liking this role of Calamity Jane. But there are other things, as the doc- tor said, that may be unwelcome visitors. One cannot be too care- ful.
 Oranges. bananas. apples. cher ries, berries. and all vegetables should be washed thoroughly. And here Is an afterthought absolutely unrelated to fruit. Keep set mouse trap around all the time. Do not permit even one cute little gray tail to have a holiday on your premises. Dear knows where his feet have been! He Is no intruder to be welcomed on your pantry shelves.

SUE HAS AN UNPLEASANT
 ENCOUNTER

It came to Sue that she had forgotten a very important factor in her new venture. She had rea- soned without considering Arnold Pages younger sister, Joe Dexter, who was visiting at home. Now suddenly Sue knew that all of the time fear of the girl had been in her mind, although she hadn't been able to touch 1t. She hoped that she wouldn't meet Joe. She wondered if there would be this same danger every morning this fear of wondering l0n what step the other girls metallic voice would call to her.
 Sue followed the servant up the wide, thickly carpeted stairs to the den. She had almost reached the door when she heard the voice that she didn't want to hear.
 Mrs Thornton! This Is q sur prise. Are you going to assist my brother"
 I'm helping his arrange some notes this morning. Just for an hour or two." Sue said the words swiftly.
 "Oh how nice! He will enjoy having you, l know. For q cave man. and he did adore tho jungles, you know! ... he has q weakness where pretty faces are concerned" @
 Sue caught her lips between her teeth. Arnold Page wasn't the type of man who was affected very much by the sweep of eyelashes on a cheek, or 6 pair of red lips, Slut knew. He had no fondness for her, outside of warm friendliness. He had never forgotten Nancy. Ills sister was trying tO use her claws again. But Sue hated the girl little more than she had nt other times. Sse couldn't work here, she was deciding. There would have to be some other arrangement made.
 She was little nervous as she started to work. She kept wish ing that the hands of the clock would hurry. She had 0 sense that Joe was likely to come in at any minute. When she finally did, Sue wasn't surprised. She was typing at the time .. swiftly and surely. Page was turning over some notes.
 I'm sorry" Joe said in the same flowing tones that were curi- ously cold. "I think l left n book here last night"
 "Yes, I believe you did. Come on and find it," her brother told her. Maybe you would like to read 1t in here" His eyes were laughing c little and his mouth twitched. :.
 "Oh no, thank you" Joe didn't
