PETER.
IT suppose Mrs. Teeter is of after
her breakfast" ventured Peter.
VERY likely" replied Teeter. II hay-
en't seen her lately"
"What?" cried Peter.
"I said that haven't seen her lately"
replied Teeter bit testify.
You don't think anything has hap
pened to her, do you?" asked Peter
anxiously, for he had come to have a
friendly feeling for this funny little
couple who seemed forever trying to
get their balance on their slim little
legs.
"Oh, I guess she can take care OF
herself" replied Teeter carelessly, as II
the matter was of no special interest to
him.
Il hope So" said Peter. "It would be
hard on you If anything should happen
to her, so that you were left to take
care of those eggs alone"
wouldn't it?" replied Teeter, and
once more Peter failed to see the twinkle
in those bright eyes.
Just then there was splash over IN
the Smiling Pool and with hurried
farewell Peter went off to see what had
made it. Teeter watched him go, and
there was that same twinkle in his
eyes as if he were enjoying a good joke
all to himself.

small cost. Also, since the gra-
cious practice of presenting little
gifts to the children of hostess and
to the friendly hostess herself prevails,
some suggestions for these gifts are
made.
A folding Upper bag to carry. or to
pack away for extra parcels collected
on the journeyings, is one Of the needed
accessories for the traveller. 1t Is just
the thing for a shower gift for an en-
gagged girl. It is tube-shaped, as are
these Upper bags, and it has handles
for carrying the bag when packed. It
folds into small compass and requires
almost no room in suit case or trunk.
It makes one of the incest gifts to pre-
sent friend who is taking a sea voyage
or a train trip. And it is something
new in the way of bridge prize.
1t can be made from leftover material
of travelling suit, or of material match
ing it in color Or it can be Of linen,
natural toned or in any wanted color,
or a waterproof textile If preferred.
Full directions for making and a pic
ture of the bag can be had for 10 cents
and self-addressed and stamped en-
velope directed to Lydia LIE Baron
Walker, care Of this paper. Initials
for embroidering through canvas on
the bag are cents each. A small
amount Of material, some binding tape
and strip of upper fastenings are all
that are required for bag.
A triangular case of two pieces Of
plain or figured linen, or any wash
goods of firm texture, makes a handy

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON.
To Explode.

Him old and young exploded, and
had seized with violent hands"
What a strange use of our well known
term, "explode!' That Is your comment,
Of course, on reading the quotation from
Milton. But it is not strange from the
viewpoint of the worlds origin.
For, literally, explode means to drive q
player from the stage by noisy clapping
Derived from the Latin "explodere," we
have "ex," meaning out, plus "plodere, +"
to clap, to applaud! So player, hooted
off the stage by noisy signs Of disap-
proval, was exploded" And Cicero
speaks of an actor exploded not merely
by kissing, but by abusive words!"
From what source came our modern
intransitive verb for something bursting
violently into flame, as gunpowder ex-
plodes That is even more noisy than
the old clapping, and it also drives
something out.

WHITE is CLASSIC
FOR UNDERTAKINGS

White is of course the classic for
summer lingerie It's an excellent
choice, for we shall be wearing much
white, for sports, daytime and eve
ming. which makes white the logical
choice in undertakings.
Much lace trimming is the rule.
Real lace, of course if your pocket
book will permit. If not. one of the
excellent limitations which are now in
the market. Hand-run Alencon looks
satisfyingly rich. and is not too expen-
sive. Most people prefer lace in
cream color, or light cafe-au-lait
shade.
An innovation for summer wear is
the very brief fitted step-in of crepe,
with insets of lastex mesh at the
sides. This garment actually weighs
less than an ounce-and yet offers
some restraint over the hips. Shown
with this is clever bandeau, made
of double net. which has been pre-
shrunk so that it comes from the
laundry without losing its shape. This
bandeau is shaped with tiny darts to
give cupped line, and it has slender
silk elastic straps which are guarau-
teed not to ''ride up" It Is backless.

M. Willard carried out the conception
of friend and adviser by putting on
canvas the trio of h0mespun-appear-
Eing musicians, of three distinct age
levels. drumming and filing as they
marched across battlefield.
An article by John Huntington Dew
ereux in bulletin of the National
Society of the Sons of the American
Revolution says that undoubtedly IS
per cent of the people of the United
States are familiar by sight with re-
productions of the painting. It's re-
productions probably have been avail
able in more homes than reproduc-
tons of any other painting produced
by an American artist
Needless to say it has aroused
widespread and continued interest"
Mr.. Devereux declares. "Yet in spite
of the acquaintance Of numbers with
the masterpiece very few have much
knowledge of 1t. Very little is writ
ten of it. Few know it's history"
Willard, the painter, chip of old
Yankee stock, was born in Bedford,
Ohio, August %, 1886.

place. The broken cannon and the
dying soldier in the foreground show
where the line stood. Out of the re-
treat came the trio of musicians with
their music thrilling new courage in
the hearts of their comrades. The flag
and line have changed direction, and
the forces are ready as one to charge
back against the enemy. Defeat is about
to become victory. After being ex-
hibited at the Centennial exposition at

''In the gay nineties," says a bull
letin of the National Geographic So

seuses in each quarter of the city
of Paris elected queen from among
themselves, and the queens in their
turn elected Queen of Queens
This honored lady of the tub was
borne on a throne to the president
of the republic, who bestowed upon
her a golden bracelet. Among other
presents she received 500 in gold,
a dress which might serve for her
wedding gown, and a crown which
might later be pawned or used as a
parlor decoration, depending upon
the vicissitudes1of the queens later
years.
"Recent celebrations have been
merely professions of floats, gro
tesQue or lovely according to the
moods of their designers. The
queens of queens have been beauti-
ful-ahd with no background Of
suds. The president now presents
them with wrist watches.
"Mi-Careme's queen for the day

represent the 20 ACCOMPLISHMENTS of
Paris. In addition to these queens
there are many more, including
queens of students, hucksters, dress
makers, and typists.

so great that 1t Is now impossible
for each to have separate auto
mobile for herself, and others for
her attendants; so each queen has
her car filled with her ladies in
waiting. The automobiles of the
queens are followed by floats which
often caricature current events.
There may be, for example, the ogre
of high prices, the housing problem,
and the vulture-faced landlord.
"The route of the procession is
equivalent to sightseeing tour of
Paris. 1t passes through the most
interesting sections of the city: the
Latin quarter, the Place de la Con-
corde, the Madeleine, the Opera, and
Port Saint Denis. The procession
stops at two places, the Elysee pal
ace, where the president kisses the
hand of the queen of queens and be-,
slows wrist watch upon her, and
the Hotel de Vile where the city
fathers place her on dais which
is occasionally used for the enter
tainment of visiting sovereign.

traffic and turned over to the crowds
of pedestrians struggling to get
close to the festival cars.
celebrations for Mi-Careme are
now held in Corsica, Italy, and

as the cities where the holiday spirit
of the occasion Is enjoyed with pre-
war zest and where the populace is
not just a crowd of observers but
active participants in the fun"

With friend he visited the British
commander shortly before the attack
began to plead for the release of an
influential Washington physician who
had been taken prisoner. The Brit
ish commander agreed to release the
physician, but declined to let him or
his pleaders leave the fleet at that
time, as the bombardment was about
to begin.
The Americans were placed on
ship beyond danger and, though
treated courteously, were held there
during the attack. Thus from the
deck of the British ship the three
Americans watched the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry.
The firing ceased before dawn. and
the anxious prisoners did not know
whether the fort had surrendered or
not. But the morning light revealed
the star-spangled banner still afioat
above the fort; it had successfully
withstood the bombardment. And
Key, while watching anxiously, was
moved to write his famous ode.
1t was because he was writing 1t
at the very moment when the event
it celebrated was being enacted that
made it so wildly realistic. "The

wrote, giving ample proof "that our
flag was still there" proof which "the
