The answer is simple. skirts can be well developed in taffeta and therefore there are return to Victorian styles. signers as Paul Poiret are The latter ceptable to the Ameri our climate demands dark material, thin and cool, than a frock of dark materfal. Every woman feels the necessity for placing next to her body a garment that can be constantly freshened. The moist hot climate for four months of the year destroys the purity of materials worn next the skin. If a thin dark gown can go to tub or cleaners, all very well; but if it i8 of a fabric that will not stand the cleansing process with frequency, it is far better to adopt a jacket and skirt for street wear.

INGRESSIONAL LIBRARY! AT WASHINGTON Washington. Dear J. T. C.: With vacations and _every- thing I thought I would write you a letter about the reading room at the Congressional Library. for it is certainly a fine place to spend an hour or two. even in vacation times, and the library is a place you do not want to miss. The reading room from one of the balconies looks like a pigs-in-the-clover puz- zle as you look down upon it.” You remember how we used to try and roll the little marble around the walls to get it in the middle. N There i8 a reading room for the Senate and another for the mem- bers of the House of Representatives. The mantles of Italian mar- ble in the latter were done by Frederick Diel- man and are considered very beautiful, and like wll these things they mean something if you study them a little bit. There is a_woman rep- resenting the Law with doves of peace at her fect. Nearby are the scales of justice and the book of the law. She holds out a palm branch to Truth, who carries some lilies_ to Peace with an olive branch, and to Industry. At the same time a_ sword is held against Fraud and Yiolence. So you see if we study those things we can find the meaning. And it s that meaning carries a whole more now than ever before since there has been a world war. In the center stands the Muse of History with a pen and a book. In the panels are names of great writers of history from away back years and Years ago. Some of the names are hard fo pronounce, but there are also Bancroft, Motley, Gibbon, Humes and several Greek historians which I will not try to write. But we will know them all sooner or later as we get #long in school. To the left of History sits Mythol- ¥. which means things so far back in olden times that maybe they did not exactly happen, but they teach a lesson just the same, something like our fables. Beside Mythology are a winged sphinx and Pandora’s /box. Now who knows about Pandora’s box? There is a good one for you. _ On the right of History is Tradi- tion, and nearby sits a young poet with a lyre. Back of Mythology are the pyramids of ypt. and back of BIG READI Round-Shoulder Exercises. , There are two ways of getting rid of a round-shouldered appearance. One is to learn to sleep flat on the back without a pillow, the other to exercise o as to strengthen the weak muscles. As vou are probably asleep, or at least in bed, for eight hours every day. which is a third of the entire time, you will greatly improve ypur shoulders by learning to sleep with- aut a pillow, with-the back straight. Some people advocate that all beauty : should be taken while asleep—that is, you should never sleep unless the skin has been freed om the day's dirt and unless you re breathing fresh air, and so forth. These have been accepted as com- -sense principles, but even ideal mol eep will not make one beautiful, yer will siceping flat on the back sutircly correct round shouiders un- CLOVER PUZZLE TO BOY. tional Photo.

Write to me and ell me what you know about owls. That is all for this time. RUSSELL BURKS, The Travelog Boy. Sam Hughes: All the streets in ‘Washington are numbered with the Capitol in mind, for the city is laid out like a wheel. Janet Ferguson: Washington never lived in the White House. He was inaugurated in New York city and helped plan Washington. The sur- veyor's name was L'Enfant. Who knows what that word means? less other things are also done. Try this exercise: Stand with the hands out in front of you and the fists clenched. Bring the hands back to the shoulders tensing the arm muscles as though you were pulling on a weight. .Or, stand with the hands in front of you, fingers out, open the arms sideways and con- tinue the motion so the arms go back as far as possible, always keep- ing them on a level with the shoul- ders. Both these exercises should be done about ten or twelve times every day. Incidentally, remember to keep the shoulders back and chest high when you \are standing or walking. S. F.

Linen may be kept Ipure white longer than cotton: loose. iopen-mesh cotton longer than close i for woolly cotton. For the white suit or frock that is to have hard wear it is well to select one that is all white, and a good selection of fabric is linen. In selecting sailor suits and middy blouses for vour children remember that, red and blue or black braid. chevrons and collars often run in the washing. You have to see that they are washed quickly and with care if you do not want to have the suit show stains and streaks Still, {these regulation sailor or middy suits are so attractive that one can- not do without them. If vou buy suits of good quality and then wash them carefully, attending to it your- self, then you need have no fear. If light or white suits become faded or streaked it is a good idea to dye them thoroughly to some darker color suitable for play clothes. It is always a good idea to save pieces from children’s clothes for | thing almost attractive about a neatly patched child’s garment and there is real waste in discarding little clothes just because they need repairing. Pongee is a very good selection for suits and frocks for little children in warm weather. It is cool and sheds the dust. Moreover, if you are away from the home laundry you will find that it can be washed out and ironed with far greater ease than is the case with” cotton materials. You wmnight really get through several weeks at the seashore with two pongee suits for your child's entire play wardrobe. They can be washed out and ironed in a very little while and withstand many washings if made of good qual- ity pongee. Some attractive little suits are now made with black tine bloomers. These are made tor‘k!le girls and ey came first little boys as well. from France, where undoubtedly the idea recommended itself as economical.

A Kirkman To Make a Delicious Cocoanut Layer Cake. “Please publish one of your ‘just how' recipes for a cocoanut layer cake writes a bride reader of this column. Here is my reply: Cocoanut Layer Cake.—Cream to- getfier one-half cup of butter and one cup of granulated sugar: add the beaten yolks of two egis and one cup of sweet milk. Now sift together two and one-half ‘cups of flour, two tea- spoonfuls baking powder and one- half teaspoen sait and add these to the mixing bowl also. Fold in the stifly-beaten whites of two eggs and flavor .with one teaspoon of vanilla. Pour this batter into two buttered layer cak pans and buke for twenty- five minutes in u hot oven. Put be- tween these layers the following: Cocoanut Cream Fillicg for a Two- layer Cake.—(This will make just enough for one cake). Heat three- quarters of a cup of sweet milk in a small saucepan.

Novel-fri Sash Sastagion This novel fringe sash is quite un- usual. Its novelty lies in the fringe, which consists of strips of picked silk. Each strip is one inch wide and eight inches long. On the gray Canton crepe frock pictured the sash is navy blue crepe de chine. There rre three rows of tucks across each end; each tuck is fringed with gray silk. The strips are of gray. blue and striped silks to match the materials of which the frock is composed. A mnovelty fringe sash will give distinction to an otherwise pla‘n frock. It is a splen- did way to give a new span of life to an old frock. FLORA. (Copyright, 1021.) anxiously But the smoke w, 0 thick that he | Dordens EAGLE BRAND | !
