Reddy Fox stood on a rock in the ©Old Pasture and watched Bowser the Hound roar past. He grinned, and finally he chuckled as he heard Bow- ser's voice grow fainter and fainter toward the Green Forest. “I guess that fellow will get all the running he wants for one day,” chuckled Reddy. “He thinks he is still following me, amd he will keep ¢ on thinking so. Now, I will take a &ood rest and be ready to do my part when he gets back here.” So Reddy curled up in a cool place, and even took a short nap. Meanwhile, Bowser the Hound was following a trail as fresh and as easy to follow as he could ask for. Back to the Green Forest and in and out among the trees and piles of brush it led, and so once more along the bank of ' the Laughing Brook. Bowser stopped long enough to get a drink, }5 i iy b :J)ffl?‘i ¥ /[//; T “HE IS GETTING TIRED,” CHUCK- LED MRS. REDDY. for he was very thirsty. That drink refreshed him wonderfully, and once more he took up the trail. It was as | fresh as ever. and his wonderful nose ¢ (Copyright, 1921, by the told him that that Fox could be but a little way, a very little way, ahead of him. Not once haq that trail been broken. Not once had one of Reddy's clever tricks been tried. Bowser couldn’t understand it at all. But he wasted no time thinking about it. It was enough for him that the trail was there. He expected every minute to catch a glimpse of Reddy Fox jahead of him. Certainly Reddy couldn't keep up such a pace much longer. Back to the Old Pasture the trail led, just where it had led before. With his nose to the ground, Bowser. was heedless of anything but following ! that trail. And so he didn't see Mrs. | Reddy standing on a certain big rock {off to one side and grinning cs she watched him pass. ! “He is getting tired,” chuckled Mrs ! Reddy. “He isn’t running as fast jhe did. I think by the time we are through with him Bowser will have had all the running he wants. My, it is hot. I'll run over home and see that the youngsters are all right, and then T'll rest a bit and be ready when Reddy gets back.” She leaped to the ground and swift- ly ran over to the home where six half-grown little Foxes were playing about the door of their home. There she lay and rested while she watched them play. But all the time her keen ears were listening to the faraway voice of Bowser. By and by it sound- ed louder. It was coming back tos ward the Old Pasture. Mrs. Reddy got to her feet and charged the little Foxes not to leave their doorsteps and to go into the house at the least sign of danger. Then she trotted swiftly back to the big rock and waited. Presently Reddy appeared. He was somewhat out of breath and looked very warm. He grinned as he made a long leap to one side and then up on the rock beside her. Mrs. Reddy leaped down into the path just where Reddy had left it and trotted off. Bowser came roaring down the path 2 moment later. There was no break in the trail. The smell of Fox was even stronger than before. On he went. Reddy watched him and grinned. Then he in his turn went over to see that the youngsters were all right and to rest. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were chang- ing off, one resting while the other ran, and Bowser didn’t kno wthe dif- ference. (Copyright, 1921, by T. W. Burgess.) International Syndieate.)

PUTTING TREES ABOUT LINCOLN MEMORIAL TO GIVE PROPER SETTING TO BUILDING. ‘Washington. Dear J. T. C.: One of the most in- teresting things to me has been the way they place full grown trees 'lround the Lincoln Memorial. I will go down there one day and the memorial looks just so. Then I go down in a few days more and find some full grown trees are in place and they look as if they had been there always. These trees come in big tub-looking things all tied in rope, for the roots have the earth in which they grew about them. The men doing the job treat thg trees es it they were little bables I €an tell you. ¥ The mirror basin In front of the memorial is moving along and they have moved the little railroad that { ran around the grounds so the little engines about as big as automobiles | could get the stone and other things up to the building. Along the river side of the memorial, where the drive turns after you leave 17th street, the filling in has been almost completed. | 80 T guess they will move the drive out quite a little. What they call the landscaping of the grounds is now under way and when those walks get in place and the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial reflect in that pool it {s going to be_something for the / members of the Junior Travel Club o see, no matter where they live. I think the best view of the Lincoln Memorial is from the top of Monu- ment hill. If you go up on that hill 2nd stand at the middle of the base of the Washington Monument facing the Lincoln Memorial you will see the Lincoln Memorial directly between two trees. It seems as if somebody had planted those big trees years ago in just the way that an opening is Jeft for you. Go up and look some &ime. When those monuments reflect in the mirror basin that s being put in there will be I hope enough room for the reflection of the Washington Monument to touch that of the Lin- coln Memorial, for it will sort of Show how one man perfected the work the other had started mnd show that we are united under their ideas. 1 do mot suppose anybody lving will see the temporary buildings come down that are in the way of the Lin- coln Memorial, for those things take time, but I will say they put them up fast enough during the war. But When they do come down the Lincoln Memorial will be one of the sights of the world, because of its position it nothing else. Then there is to be a bridge from the memorial over to Arlington. This will mean a direct drive from the Capitol right over to Arlington. The memorial rests on concrete plers that have been driven down fifty feet. The building was designed by Henry Bacon. There are thirty-one columns forty feet high, one for each state in the Union wWhen Lincoln died. There will be many things in the memorial bullding hay- ing to do with Lincoln's life and in brass on the walls there will be his Gettysburg and second inaugural a ress.

Such chances are now plentiful. The chemise frock not only has rivals, but powerful ones. The change that has come about in the fashion has been insidious, an infilitrating move- ment. One could well say that these new types of frocks had slipped in during the night when people were comfortably assured of their fashion- able position in wearing the slip- over gown. There is nothing complicated about the new frocks. They do not look as simple as the chemise style as they have nothing of carelessness, or dis- order, they do not present a negligible appearance. They seem to proclaim that the women in them have care- fully considered their costumes; they did not throw their clothes over their heads after breakfast had been an- nounced or when the rest of the family were shouting up the stairs that every one else was ready and tired of waiting. You_ know it is true that many of us dress in just that fashlon. These frocks Indicate to the shrewd observer that the waistline may be- come important before this year dies. There is a definite juncture, not con- cealed between bodice and skirt. The oval neck line has disappeared and the square or V-shaped opening has been reinstated. A sash appears on some of these one-piece frocks; again the joining of the skirt to the bodice is_made conspicuous by gathers, or piping, or flat pleats. . The utter ‘severity of the upper part of the chemise frock, which has been exceedingly trying to the square figure, gives way in these gowns to frequent touches of coquetry, of gracious softness, of what is called “femininity.” The sketoh shows such a gown. It is worn in Paris by & French woman and the American r8 see in'\t an advance movement away from the ;tn{ght untrimmed black crepe rocl ‘The material s black orepe de chine, the skirt reaches the ankles and is not pulled tightly over the hips. The bodice is like a Zouave jacket with its brilllant Indian em- broidery, its bright velvet edging. its wide full sleeves of white batiste. There is also a turnover collar of batiste which is a distinct return to attractive neckwear. ‘These jacket bodices are inspired, undoubtedly, by North Africa. The coloration used is the kind one sees in Algiers and Morocco. The sash is also reminiscent of the French prov- inces that face the Mediterranean. It may be that the French women have adopted these sashes in order to make a slight drapery over the lengthened skirt, for it seems quite certaln that we will not return to the ankle-length sheath skirt that fits the figure. ‘White Hands, The problem of keeping the hands soft and white is always a compli- cated one, because In the winter they dry and chap, and in the summer they become brown and sunburned. Most of us hate wearing gloves al- wdys in the summer, and many of ‘*I: find that in the winter not even thicl gloves are a sufficlent protection. To make it still worse, it is hard to rub ofl on the hands during the day because of the dust the oily skin will collect, and it is impossible to use ofl at night without staining the bed- clothes, unless one is willing to sleep with- gloves on. Altog-ther the in- conveniences are 8o many that most women, without meaning to do it, neglect their hands shamefully. % Obviously the best thing 18 to And some lotion that is not greasy.

Spread the paste inside each smelt. Close the fish, sprinkle with salt, moisten with melted-butter and oroil over a clear fire. - Summer Sewing. This is without doubt the time of year for the home dressmaker to buy materials for frocks to finish the summer with. For the loveliest fabrics are on sale now, often good reductions, and, moreover, & uncrowded counters. If you shop early in the morning, before the salespeople are tired, you will have a particularly pleasant time of it, d you will be sure not to make those mistakes that come from shopping in a crowd, without sufficlent time or leisure to choose properly. There are excellent fabrics for sport skirts made of both all-silk and cot- ton and silk weaves that may be made up running round and round as well as up and down. As these fabrics are sometimes forty inches wide, and, therefore, give more ma- terial in two lengths than is needed for a skirt, you can effect an econo- my by buying a yard and a half or a yard and three-quarters and making the skirt up roundabout. Thus one selvage comes at the belt and the other is turned under at the hem. Striped fabrics, in self-tone—and it is particularly white fabrics that are under discussion, for they are decidedly most favored at present— is made up with the stripes running round and round as well as up and down. From the fort; inches there 1is enough, if you are not too tall, to cut off a strip along one selvage for plaqued facing and belt. Indeed, & @ yard and half or a yard and three-quarters in length, this strip may be made Into a very good look- ing sash belt. The price for these interesting ma- terials is variable, of course. You can occasionally pick up something really very attractive for a couple of dollars a yard, and then your skirt costs under two dollars. The overblouse of cotton crepe or other cottorr material is still in good style. One interesting way to make these blouses is to put applied flow- ers or fruits cut from colored crepe of different colors on a background of white, blue or tan. Gray, too, may be made th ebackground color, if gray is becoming. There s always the chance that gray is not becoming, and, unless it is, is shouldn't be used. Sew the little cut-outs on with black embroidery cotton of the mer- cerized sort that gives a good, glossy black even after it is washed. Those slip-over frocks of silk or linen, serge or cotton that are worn with a blouse beneath them to sup- ply the sleeves which they lack are tremendously popular, but they are still smart enough to pass muster. They are the easlest sort of thing t omake, and any home needlewoman could accomplish one satisfactorily. The edges are sometimse simply turned under and machine hemmed. Sometimes they are finished with a cording, sometimes with a piping, sometimes with a binding. Sometimes a white one, for instance, of linen, will be bound with red silk.braid. Such a combination could hardly be put safely through the laundry, but the color contrast is good, and that is all some designers think of, natu- rally. For the home sewer, however, it is well to think of the practical side of life, and washable colors are on the practical side. Dark muslins dotted with white are particularly suggestive of freshness and coolness, and they are most satis- factory things to make oneself. making one with a scalloped skirt hound with a narrow white bias fold, with scalloped sleeves bound in the same way and with a neckline fin- lllfiefl Just with a little white muslin collar. Organdy, of course, is continuing to hold its own. The simpler it is, if the non-professional handles it, the bet- ter it looks. So select a simple pat- téfn to follow, and depend on the charm of color and sheen of finish for your effect. It will be good. Then there are the crepes—canton and georgette and whatever else they may be dubbed. They, too, are charm- ing in color. ' But they are more difficult for the amateur to handle satisfactorily. However, If you are skillful you can get good resuits with them, and especially in blouse: of t type designated costume blouses in the shops. Lobster Bisque. Remove two pounds of lobster from the shells, add two cups of cold wa- ter to the body bones and.tough ends of the claws cut In pieces; bring 'slowly to the boiling point and cook for twenty minutes; drain, preserve the liquid and thicken with butter and flour cooked together; scald fout cups of milk with the tail meat of the lobster chopped fine; strain and add to the liquid; season with salt 'and cayenne, then add the tender claw meat cut in dice and the body meat.

If a richer soup is desired white stock may be used in place of waten 2 2 . The l{milekeeper’l Indoor Dress. Beveral of my readers have asked me to write upon the subject of the houskeeper's indoor dress. For the woman who does her own housework this question resolves itself into two heads: The work dress and the after- noon dress. (I assume that the heavy part of the day's work will be done by noon—as it should be in the home of all efficlent housekeepers.) 2 Let us consider the working cos- tume first. What color shall it be? I believe 1 will surprise many by my answer to this question—white. To my mind, & white dress is the most practical to choose for heavy work, covered, of course, with an all-over gingham apron. For a white dress does not fade when one perspires from hard exercise; a white dress does not fade from frequent washings or from hangings in the sun after washing; a white dress, when spotted, may receive applications of all kinds of acid spot-removers which would ruin a colored dress. Yes, in the long run a white dress gives the best serv- ice for hard work. ‘And now for the question of the afternoon frock. Here we may satisfy the primitive love of color that lurks in each and every one of u. With our heavy work dome, we feel justified in every ome of us. With our becomes us, and recelving our friends or enjoying a well earned hour with a new book. But note that I said, “the color that Personal Health Service By WILLIAM BRADY, M.

It takes a tiny woman, for in- stance, to wear one of the red-and- white checked ginghams (red is con- sidered a disturbing color, and If worn by a stout or tall person it is rather too much in evidence.) Pink, on the other hand, may be worn by almost anybody—stout or thin, short or tall, blonde or brunette. Pink brings out the color in our cheeks and is becoming to us all. Blues of all shades are particularly well adapted to the woman whose bones or features are large; blue is considered a dignified, inconspicuous color. And ! greens—especially the green-and- white checked ginghams or striped dimities—are chosen when a cool ef- fect is desired; it is nature’s color and it seems to carry its coolness with it. Cottons and linens are perhaps the most practical_fabrics to choose for these indoor dresses; for moths do not attack these materials while they are stored away during the winter months, and the housckeeper is sure of taking them out of her attic trunk the following spring, ready for an- other three or four months of warm- weather service.

Vacation Tribulations. Mosquito bites annoy some persons very little and others very much, the good being the greater sufferers, of course. For rellef, rub the place gently with molstened soap. In the case of children, bathe the skin with & ta- blespoonful of household ammonia or of aromatic spirits of ammonia in a cupful of water, pr bathe With a small handful of saleratus (soda) in a basin of water. Some persons find that the irritation of a mosquito bite is relieved by touching the spot with tincture of lodine. Glycerin gives relief in some cases. And the imme- diate application of a drop of perox- ide of hydrogen to the puncture has been praised by many. This peroxide treatment has also been recom- mended to me by a soda fountain clerk for the relief of bee stings— the sirups attracted bees and many stings were treated in the summer season. The way to rid a place of mosqui- toes is to conduct a thorough survey of the nelghborhood, searching out every place where water is likely to stand for as long as nine or ten days, and emptying such receptacles, screening them if they cannot be emptied, or ofling the surface if the water cannot be drained away. Dis- used wells, cisterns, fountains, rain barrels, obstructed eaves, old cans hidden under weeds, cow tracks in fields, unscreened drains, unused water closets, unscreened sewer catch basins, cesspools, etc., must be looked upon as likely places for mosquito breeding. Weeds or grass along the edges of small streams or ponds must be cleared away, so that fish may get at the larvae and devour them. Dopes of various kinds are used to repel mosquitoes in infested places. Here is a good one: 01l of citronella, one ounce; spirits of camphor, one ounce, and oil of cedar, one-half ounce. A few drops of this ‘on a towel hung over the head of the bed will keep mosquitoes away for hours. A little may be applied to the face and hands where mosquitoes are Very an- noying. Another excellent dope recom- mended to me by an outdoor man of long experience is this: Olive oil, oil of tar, oil of cedar and oil of citronella—equal parts of each. This makes a gooey dope, but it certainly does repel the pests. A cloth with a few drops of it may be hung ig the door of a tent and the occupant will be visited by no mosquitoes for hours. 01l of citronella alone is good, but does not last. Still a thirq mosquito dope, Sug- gested by the Department of Agricul- ture’s Farmers' Bulletin 444, is this: Castor_oil, alcohol and oil of lav- ender, of each an ounce. This mixture avoids the odor of citronella, which is not agreeable to some persons. If castor oil will do the mosquitoes any good, or if alco- hol will help 'em to enjoy life, I, for one, say give them all they want. Hunters, anglers or hikers exposed for long periods to mosquitoes may prefer a mixture which retards the evaporation of the citronella: Oil of citronella, one ounce, .and liquid petrolatum, four ounces. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Tomatoes and Arthritis. Some one says that a person hav- ing arthritis should not eat even one tomato a day. Just what effect do tomatoes have on the system? Would they cause chalky deposits in the joints? (Mrs. H. E. F.) Answer—That is a favorite 0ld fal- Jacy of the “born” food specialist and other modern charlatans. No less an authority on nutrition than the great Hindhede has shown that the daily ingestion of five kilograms of: to- matoes (aboul ten pounds) with 600 grams_(twenty-one_ounces) of gra- ham bread and 150 grams (five and one-half ounces) of margarin for four days produces a urine hav- ing & good solvent power “for uric acid. As chalky deposits, in the kind of arthritis (joint inflammation) called gout are deposits of urate of soda, the use of tomatoes in the diet of one so afflicted would be unobjec- tionable, if not actually beneficial. lttlemay be apples o e e ——————— HOME NURSING AND HEALTH HINTS BY JESSIE LEITCH. Comfort—and Compresses. Two of the Lang children had light attacks of tonsilitis and the doctor had ordered that cool compresses be applied. He was In rather a hurry when he ordered them. What he d e wco;;‘:!&fi!. you know, are not fomentations, So don’t cover the compress with a waterproof dressing. Some old linen and an outside cov- ering of flannel—that's &L\ you'll need. ew them every hour.” A fore Mrs. Lang realized it he had hurried down the steps and was out f the house. ©’And she didn't know what he had been talking about. He had said that a compress was not a fomentation. She knew what fomentations were, having acquired a working knowl- edge of them when her eldest boy had an infected cut on Ris foot. And hetween fomentations and poultices and stupes and compresses Mrs. Lang was quite confused and declared, under her breath, that she probably was stupld, but she did think the doctor might have taken time to find o, pausia ou JeM Mouy 9US J} In0 to do. Little Sons Complain. So, to the best of her ability, she applied old linen wrung out of cold water to the throats of her two small sons, covering the applications with flannel and pinning them around their throats. Johnnie wept because his was too tight. He said he couldn't swallow. Jimmie ineisted that you weren't expected to swallow when you had tonsilitis, but that his compress was too loose, and proceeded to demon- strate it by losing the compress in the bed and having to hunt under his pillows for it each'time his moth- er came with a fresh one. They were just average small boys, and not sigk enough to take even compressese seriously. But Mra. Lang was not satisfled. It was only reasonable that if the com- presses were to do any good they should remain on the little boys' throats and be renewed falthfully. They were a nuisance, those com- presses, and without protective cov- erings the small night shirts were damp around the neck, and the pil- lows were a sight. Then, the doctor, dropping in for an evening call, discovered the un- happy state of both small boys and pillows, and hastened to explain. ‘What Mrs. Lang should have done, he said, was to have called him back that morning and said that she didn't know a thing about com- presses. &e had just taken for grant- ed that such a good mother knew about such things, And then he demonstrated. An old linen sheet, or a portion of it, was commandeered, because linen gheorba ‘water more readily than cot- on. 2 The Real Secret Told Here. Two strips of linen three inches wide and long enough to stretch com- fortably from one ear under the chin to the opposite ear, were cut and measured on Jimmie's willing throat. A strip of flannel one-fourth inch wider, and long enough to overlap on the top'of the head, was then cut. And then (this is the secret of throat compresses that do not slip out of place!) slits were cut in the flan- nel, after measuring, to permit of the passage of two small ears. The linen, wrung out of cold water, was then placed on the strip of flan- nel, and “the application adjusted deftly and securely pinned on top of the head with safety pins. Wrapping compresses around a throat, instead of applying them this way, the doctor explained, not only defeats the object of a compress, which s constant application of moisture, but is annoying to the pa- tient, who dislikes to have his ears covered and also to have things pinned around his throat.
