precious times when you've fin
ished ironing juniors shirts and the
baking is done and you've powdered
your nose and take up your knitting
to wait the return of the family. 1t
is a very good dress, as you see.
Panel down the front, from shoulders
to hem, three buttons to fasten the
blouse. The sleeves have some tucks
on top to make them flare prettily
and the skirt fits smoothly over the
hips but with a bit Of fullness at the
hemline.
'Spose you choose it in silk broad
cloth or shantung, or tub silk of some
sort. Or perhaps you'll like it best
in thin wool, brightly colored. You'll
like some of the rayon weaves, which
are SO good-looking this year, both in
plain fabrics or those that are fig
ured in nice geometric patterns.

thusiastic on the subject, that a close

with q typical cuddly Easter bunny,
aged about 2 minutes, in a paper bag.

shop, and emerged victorious and
somewhat scratched with large and
husky white rabbit, fondly intended as
Benjamin's future frau, and therefore
appropriately christened Flopsy.
Unfortunately, living quarters for
the little family now became the prob

Giants.


GIANTS have always attracted the
attention and admiration of av-
erage-sized persons. For this reason
there are a lot of unverified stories
about them. And the farther back
you go in the stories of giants, the
taller they were said to have been. Tall
men are the occasions for tall stories.
When it comes down to reputable
stories, you have the following: 90
feet. 9 feet, 8.9 feet, "a feet. 8.3 feet.
II you are more than 65 feet tall,
with all general parts balanced pro-
portionally, you may call yourself a
giant.
Among the various legends con-
cerning giantism are those which at
tribute great mental powers to them.
There is absolutely nothing to these
stories. A giant may be either bril-
liant or dull. More often than not his
mental powers are somewhat below
the average. This is true because the
glandular unbalance which is re-
sponsible for giantism also has its un-
balancing effect upon the intellect.
However, you will find that tall men
usually have the advantage of getting
on in the world. Somehow we nat
urally expect more of them, and so
they find their way to places of dis
tinction with relative ease.

Rugged little shawl about her shoul-

any more. Thanks to modern heat

about her household tasks in a dainty

of gayety to this simple dress. And
the vestee, with little buttons to trim
it. The pocket is big triangle, ap-
piled to the skirt, and the whole
thing is as neat as pin, but a good
deal more attractive.
New cottons look as if they had
been hand blocked. so nice are they
in design and coloring. The patterns
are usually more widely spaced than
in former seasons, with that blurry
look about the edges of the design
that gives them the appearance OF
hand-blocking. Percales, chambrays,
ginghams, cotton challis, broadcloths
and sateens are fabrics which go into
the making of the house dress for Fall.

Wives always prOlcSS W It.
\A/ gard their husbands as
wv deep, dark, unfathomable
mysteries, moved by mo-
tives that are beyond their compre-
hension. Every day you hear mar
ried woman say: Il just can't under
stand John, and I can't imagine why
he acts the way he does"
And, queerly enough, considering
that curiosity is characteristic OF
the feminine sex, not one wife in a
million ever sits down and tries to
unriddle the riddle to which she is
married and find out what makes her
husband do the things he does.
For instance, when John comes
home glum and grouchy in the eve
ming and kicks the cat and spanks
the baby, his wife sets it down to Ill
temper and crankiness and the gen.
eral cussedness of husbands, and she
retorts in kind, or bursts into tears
and pities herself for being married
to such a brute. 1t doesn't occur to
her that there is nothing personal in
Johns disagreeableness His tantrum
is only blowing off steam engendered
by the accumulated worries and anxi-
eties of the day in the only place
where he can let himself go. He's
dog-tired, nerve -frazzled, and the way
he acts is no sign that he doesn't
adore his wife and worship the baby
and think his home the greatest place
on earth.
WIVES are always complaining
w about their husbands never
talking at home. They say that
John retires into his newspaper as
soon as dinner is over and only grunts
when he is spoken to, and If store
dummy were substituted for him they
would never find out the difference.
It would have just as good a con-
versational line.
And they say they can't under
stand it, because John Is so bright
and chatty when people drop IN in
the evening. When they go out he's
always the life of the party and he
sets everybody's dinner table In a
roar except his own, and, goodness
knows, they don't know why he does
this way. Yet they would not need
to be Mrs. Sherlock Holmes to solve
the mystery.
All day long Johns been talking,
arguing, persuading, jollying bosses,
customers and clients until he is sick
Of the sound of his own voice and
other peoples voices, and he longs
for the healing balm of silence. All
day long he has been on a strain OF
wearing the smile that won't come
of and making himself entertaining
and agreeable, and it is just in
effable bliss to be with a wife who
takes him as he is and who doesn't
expect him to make any wisecracks.

ONE of the great grievances of wives
~ over which they shed barrels

to make love to them as soon as they

COLOR, always important at the
change of seasons, when it as
sumes new names and new shadings,
favors champagne as a smart color
for rouge and lipstick. It Is presented
by one Of the leading beauty salons,
and If you have not seen 1t you must
be sure to ask for 1t. It is a vivid
color that shades slightly into the
yellow tone, and has a sparkle that
seems to brighten up ones whole ex-
preston. Moreover, it is not one of
those shades that makes demands on
you to carry it of: it is brilliant with
out being harsh. It is equally good
for gay daytime wear and gayer eve
ming lights. 1t is the very thing to
Offset the neutralizing effects of the
heavier colors of the Autumn and Win
ter clothes. This paste rouge in a
sized red jar is selling for 81.

A MOTHER new gadget of interest Is

for IS cents, instead of the usual
larger size at dollar This has many
advantages. It easily fits into your

black or white cases. Furthermore,
it exactly matches a lipstick put out

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Autumn planting of roses has
come to be a common practice,
especially in sections where the
Winters are not extremely cold.
Roses planted in November start
to grow very early in the Spring
and are almost sure to flower
profusely. They should be
planted in reasonably rich ground,
with the holes large enough to
give ample room for the roots,
and with the crowns about two
inches under the surface. Then
they should be hilled up with
earth so as to form a cone about
a foot high around the plants.
Some extra protection in the way
of salt hay, pine boughS or straw
will help to carry them through
the Winter safely.

The weather early this summer
saved the government about $2.4OO,-

RODS did all that barriers costing
$2.0O0,OOO could have done to keep
chinch bugs out of middle western
corn fields. The federal bill for
chinch bug control this year wfll be
less than $4,000, according to Lee
A. Strong, chief of bureau Of en-
tomology and plant quarantine OF
the United States Department Of
Agriculture, who directed the govern.
ment-state campaign against the pest.
The rest of the S2,5O0,0O0 that, CON

Most OF the $4,000 used has gone
for barrier material. largely creosote
A small amount will be used this
fall to determine the probabilities Of
an outbreak next year.
Barriers between small-grain fields
where the chinch bug passes the
first few wingless weeks of its life
and corn fields-to which it crawfs
as soon as the small grains ma.

Many small bugs that did emerge

rains, these eggs almost surely would
have produced great hordes of hun
cry bugs.
This reduced migration, Mr.. Strong
warns, does not mean that corr
growers have nothing to fear next
year. Present conditions are highly
favorable to the chinch bug. Since
the smallgrain harvest the bugs have
found abundant food in the natura'
grasses growing luxuriantly as a re-
suit of plentiful moisture. The bugs
living on these grasses have reached
maturity and have flown al: over the
corn fields where they are now feed

second generation will hatch. The
second-generation chinch bugs may
oyerwinter in numbers large enough
to be a serious threat In 1896.
