MOTHER, between you and me
A'i Sis is getting to be a little
show-off. Last night when Dick
called, there she sat, big as life,
right in the middle of things chirp-
ing about the new dress you made
her: how you used remnant left
over from one of your dresses,
and got it finished in one after
noon-she even had Dick feel the
material.
Well, Elsie, you can't blame the
child's approaching herself in
new dress. How about ourselves?
Didn't you say your jumper was
the talk of the Tennis Club meet
ing yesterday? And haven't I
been spending more time before
the mirror since I made my new
stylish Stout" model? I actually
feel like a new person in it-imag-
inc me being vain at my age!
FIatters Stout Figure.
Oh, Mother, you're not vain and
you're as young as any of us. You
just were lucky to find a particu-
larly fiattering style for your fig
ure. That soft jabot makes you
look lovely and the whole thing is
so slenderizing. But only an ex-
pert like you could make such a
dress.
1t isn't being expert, Elsie, it
is choosing a pattern that is deity
designed and giving full step-by-
step instructions on how to pro-
coed.
Several Blouses.
I'm going to make another
blouse for my jumper soon, Moth
er. I always admired that white
pique shirt of Dicks, sc I think
I'll try it for my blouse, since the
pattern is a lot like a mans shirt
in design.

Preserve the Holly Tree

Favorable weather and a
profitable market, according
to an authority on the subject,
brought a rich reward to the
holly gatherers Oh the Del
marva Peninsula, as a result
of the current seasons work,
which just has ended. The
harvest covered a period of
from four to einght weeks.
Some persons began earlier
than others. In some instanc-
whole families were engaged
in the task. Some families
are said to have earn e d
enough money this season,
from the sale Of what they
gathered, to pay their living
expenses for a whole year.
This is not a new exper-
ience for some Of the veterans
in the business. Because Of
the proximity Of the great cit
les Of the North Atlantic sea-
board, the local holly-produc-
ing territory has an advant-
age over that in some other
parts Of the country. The
market is near at hand.
Hence the Importance Of
preserving the holly trees, as
well as gathering the branch
es, with their berries, once a
year at this time.
