BURGESS. !Tis true, although it sounds most queer, . That fear is overcome b Chimney Swift. —Sooty Peter Rabbit, on the bank of the Big River, was so excited that he couldn’t keep still. He had seen Sooty the Chimney Swift meet with an accident out over the very middle of the Big River and fall into the water. At first he didn’'t know what had become of So6ty. He looked for him to rise from the water again, but Sooty dldn’t. “Oh, dear!" cried Peter. “Can It be that Sooty has been drowned?” Then something moving far out on the water caught his attention. At first all he could see was a little I black spot that seemed to be moving. Presently he made out that it was |coming nearer. It was moving in_the queerest way. It seemed to be flop- !ping along on the surface of the water. It would disappear behind a little wave and then he would see it again on the top of the next little wave. At last he made out what it iw ! “It's Sooty!" cried Peter. “And he is trying to reach shore. Oh, I'm so glad Sooty isn't drowned. I hope nothing will happen to him before he igets here.” It was just then that Peter’s long ears caught the sound of footsteps, heavy footsteps, behind him. He turned to look hastily. There was Farmer Brown's Boy, coming over to the Big River. Peter ducked down and then crept behind a little bush from which he could watch Sooty and fat the same time keep an eye on Farmer Brown's Boy. Farmer Brown's Boy came étraight down to the edge of the Big River and there he stood looking cut BROW T DOW S BOY CAM TO THE EDG R AND THERE & OUT ACRUSS lacross the water. Almost at once he <ht sight of a little black object t seemed to be flopping along on of the war. “That's a queer- thing,” thought = Farmer top {1ooking Brown's Boy, as he watched it draw nearer. “I wonder what it can be. It can’t be a fish, and I don’t know of any animal that swims like thatL.” In a few minutes Sooty was near enough for Farmer Brown's Boy to see clearly. “As I 1lvi exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy, “it is Sooty the Chimney Swift! He has fallen into the water and can't get back into the air. If he keeps on, he’ll come ashore right here. It will be a wonder if a big fish doesn’t snap him up before he gets here.” So Farmer Brown's Boy watched Sooty anxiously, and Peter Rabbil watched Sooty anxiously, and still more anxiously Sooty watched the shore. He saw Farmer Brown’s Boy and for a moment despair took pos- 'session of him. You see, he never had been afraid of Farmer Brown's Boy because he never had had to go near enough to Farmer Brown's Boy to be afraid. But now he was helpless, and when he reached shore there would be no way to escape from Farmer Brown’s Boy. But it was only for a moment that Sooty hesitated. Fear of Farmer Brown's Boy was overcome by the greater fear of what might happen to him on the water. So he kept right on going, flop, flop, flop, flop, and with every flop he drew nearer to the shore and to Farmer Brown's Boy. With a last flop he reached the shore. He was too tired to lift a wing when Farmer Brown's Boy stooped and gently picked him up. He was too tired even to be afraid. ‘Whatever might happen to him now couldn’t possibly be worse than what might have happened to him had he not reached the shore. (Copyright, 1022, by T. W. Burgess.) Your Home and You By Helen Kendall Cooling Off the Nursery. August nights are likely to be tor- rid, unless you are high in the moun- tains or away at the sheshore. In the city apartment, or even in the sub- urban night, there is many & “mid- summer night's dream” that is caused by burning heat and humidity, and that comes nearer to being a night- mare than a dream. A broken night's rest does a good deal to stir up the temper of children as well as grown- ups, and sleeping on & very hot night is_often difficult, if not impossible. Not long ago I spent the night with a near relative who has twc youngsters in her nursery—a child of eight and a baby. It was one of those scorching nights when there seems no spot in all the world ex- cept_the bath tub that is fit to live in. Even the sheets on the beds were hot to the touch. “How do you manage to keep the children comfortable on such a night as this?" I asked her. ‘The electric fans in the bedroomis of us older ones will help keep us cool, but you can’t turn a fan on a child, can you?” “Well, I have a little scheme,” she answered. “Come up to the nursery d I'll show you.” = In the clean, empty room upstairs there was a distinctly cool, fresh feeling in the air. The baby lay in his crib, the little daughter in her wee four-poster. .On & small table was an_electric fan, turned away from the children, but swinging slowly from one to another of two wet sheets swung on_lines at either side of the room. The sheets had been soaked in cold water, wrung out untll they would drip slightly, and then hung up over oilcloth rugs laid beneath them.

If it comes in Paris the effect is apt to bear results on the fashion of women's elothes the world over—if it comes in and about New York, let us say, makers and manufacturers of clothes feel a very decided effect in buying tendencles even though the actual style Is not changed thercby. One Or two very warm summers in Paris just after the revolution are said to have added much to the popu- larity of the so-called “nude’” faghions of the time. Woman of fashion who remained after the emigrees had fled delighted to see how little their clothes weighed. To weigh one's clothes and to brag about their light- ness was a_harmless sort of pastime. just as a few years ago, wheén the fashion world was first thrilled by the wearing of heavily beaded and metal embroidered clothes, women spoke rather braggingly of the weight @f their metallic evening frocks.

I wish all women knew how to choqse millinery. If they did there would be, or thers would seem to be, s great many more good-looking women in the world. No matter how beautiful & woman is, she ceases to bo so when she dons the wrong type of hat. Often young girls write and ask me what sort of hats they should wear. It’s impossible to tell them, of course, 8o much depends on the con- tours of the face. The small hat and the square jaws do not look well to- gether. The hat that siopes back from the forehead and the chin that slopes down from the mouth are hope- less as a combination. It is only possible to give a few very general rules. The young and pretty face is at its best when framed by a picture hat, but the fat woman should avofd pic- ture hats-as if they were the plague. She will only make herself ridiculous. Tt used to be thought that the elderly Woman shoul® nct wear the softly drooping, wide-brimmed hats, but if the elderly woman dresses beauti- fully and succeeds in making herself look artistio there is no reason why she should not put this type of hat over her gray hairs. The only thing the fat woman can do is to make herself look dignified. Fat makes one ridiculous. The only thing to do is to save one's-self By bo rowed dignity. The toque is pre-emi- nently the stout woman's hat, but it should fit well down over the head, should not sit up high in a detached fashion. This way of wearing a hat seems to be a weakness of the stout ‘woman. The toqus belongs to the mature face. The very young girl should not wear it. She has enough pretty styles to choose from with wide or narrow brims. 8. E. A. C—There seems to be a FAVORITE RECIPES OF WOMEN. BY MRS. LENA LAKE FORREST.

A Teensy Leak. OHN LINDSAY had been packing up and down the rickety old dock at Silver Lake for the better part of an hour with nothing save his own disagreeable thoughts for diversion. The rest of the party had been paddling about the muddy little lake in the hot sun. John had pretended that he was walting for Philip Sheldon to come back from the telephone. He was really sullen because his perverse little wife had insisted on going out on the lake after he had expressly asked her not to.

Bistory of Pour Name | BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. BAXTER i VARIATIONS—Backster, Baker. | | RACIAL ORIGIN—Anglo-Saxon. SOURCE—AN occupation. This name is typical of a very large class of our family names, that which has been developed from occupation: and it is of particular interest as in- volving peculiar changes which have taken place in the masculine and fem- inine forms of many English words. The “family name of Baxter is di- rectly traceable to the feminine form of the old Anglo-8axon word for “baker, and which appeared, about the time family names began to develop out of mere descriptive appellations, in both the forms of “bakster” and ‘“baxter.” It does not necessarily follow, how- ever, that all the Baxter families were founded by woman bakers, any more than the Baker families are all de- scended from some particular man who followed this avocation, notwithstand- ing the fact that woman commercial bakers were very numerons. The truth is that by the time the family names began to crystallize the masculine and feminine forms of the ‘word Rad be- come confused, as is today the case in our word ‘*youngster,” which gen- erally is used in reference to boys, and is less often Inclusive of giris. Yet this word is feminine form. The masculine, which has long been out of use, should be ‘“‘younger,” correspond- ing to the German “‘junker.” Sometimes, but infrequently, is_traceable as a corruption of which in the pronunciation of Sussex tend “‘Back,” then 5 | The Housewife’s I2-a Box A Toledo housewife wishes me to pass along this jdea.
