The sketch shows pale pink or- randies with evelet embroldery worn over a pink grorgette slip, sashed likewise with pink georgetie.

One of the latter shows white organdie made into a straight- line, one-piece frock. the simplicity of which is relieved only by a deep organdie bertha trimmed at the bot- tom with valencinnes and with or- gandie panels at each side of the tkirt that hang even with the skirt the hem.

Mae was a chorus girl. She was a chorus girl because she wanted to dance, and she wanted to so badly that when one theatrical manager after another would “turn her down" she still kept on going until finally she had to begin the rounds all over again. Then one day she “made up” as a Nell Brink- ley girl and one manager happened to want a Brinkley girl for his chorus—and there was Mae! It was the open door of happen-cha And after that the deluge, movies! And so I sald to Mae, having been poor and now being rich—I said to Mae, daintily clad in palést gray, ‘What is the greatest thing money can bu.

There's nothing finer than the pride A mother vainly seeks to hide | —Peter Rabbit. | Peter Rabbit was over in the Green | Forest. He was there just out of | curiosity. He knew he should be at| home in the dear Old Briar Patch. | But there was so much to see and | £0 much going on in the Green Forest that Peter felt that he just had to stay; he was afraid he would miss something. So it happened that as he hopped rather aimlessly down the Lone Lit- flo Path he heard a sharp cluck just around a turn in the Lone Little Path. Peter pricked up his long ears and began to hop faster. He knew ““And so, for me, money has bought work and the abllity to grow in my work. It has bought me the joy of being able to give things “to others, without suffering myself. It has bought me peace of mind and that is the greatest thing and the only worth-while thing that it can do. (Al rights reserved.) By Thornton W.

It was so long since he had seen that friend that he had begun to wonder if anything could have happened to her. Around the turn in the Lone Little Path scampered Peter, and stopped abruptly. Just ahead of him in the Lone Little Path stood a very trim Jittle person in feathers. Her head was held high and a pair of bright eves were anxiously fixed on that turn in the Lone Little Path. Very alert she looked. She was alert. She was ready to take to a pair of stout wings in an instant if need be, “Good morning, Mrs. Grouse,” cried Peter, happily. “I'm so glad to ses you!

Theré is a river the streams wheré- of make glad the city of God.—Psalm 46.4. Last summer I saw two streams émptying Into the sea. One was a sluggish, niggardly rivulet, in a wide, fat, muddy bed: and eévery day the tide came in and drowned out that poor little stream and filled it with bitter brine. The other was a vigorous. joyful, brimming mountain river, fed from unfailing springs among the hills; and all the time it swept the salt water back before It and kept ltself pure and sweet: and when the tide came in, it only made the fresh water rise higher and gather new stréength by the delay; and ever the living stream pouréd forth into the ocean its tribute of living watér—the sym- bol of that influence which keéps the ocean of life from turning into a Dead Sea of wickedness. When the evil of the world seems to overflow and choke you and drown out vour soul, it may be because you afé not giving out enough good. If we were more menerous should be less poor.

Your Home and You DY JELEN KENDALL. Summer Sandwiches. Summertime is sandwich time in our family. There is hardly a day during the entire summer when the bread knife isn't sawing back and forth, making thin slices that are later to be combined with delectable combinations of meats, green stuff, vegetables, fish and sweets. For the only way a sandwich meal differs from a table-served meal is that you can take it up in your hands instead of having to be equipped with plate, knife and fork and spoon Luncheon always spells sandwiches with us, especially when it is served out on the veranda, under the trees, over by the tennis court, or out in the woods on a motor picnic. Here are a few sandwich secrets that may help housewives to satisfy even the masculine appetites of thelr house- holds on warm summer days. To begin with, always cut the bread very thin—‘“very little bread and much fliling,” my circle insists. Spread it with sweet butter for salty spreads, such as anchovies, corned beef, sardines or olives. For salad sandwiches, using lettuce, tomatoes. cucumbers, or cold chopped vege- tables, spread the bread with may- its new sister ‘“vegon- nais For sandwiches filled with peach or apple butted, cheese and jelly, marmalade and similar sweet concoctions, regular salted butter is good, as it offsets the excessive sweet- ness of the filling. Sundwiches spread with cheese and then with souffled prunes are deli- cious, Tunt fish, chopped celery and nuts mixed with mayonnaise make a fine substitute for chicken salad andwiches. Cream cheese blended with chili sauce makes a savory sandwich that baffles analysis. Deli- cate ham sandwiches sprinkled with a very little powdered sugar and cloves’ make one think he has run across a bit of the edge of = baked ham. Water cress, chives and shreds of chopped carrot tops make a snappy green sandwich, and chopped parsiey or mint makes it even better. Mint jelly, East Indian chutney or picca- 1illi,” combined with thin slices of cold meat, make sandwiches of tan- talizing taste which are nourishing as well. In fact, one can make as | hearty a meal via the sandwich as by way of the platter, the salad bowl and thé dessert plate. Mutton and Tomatoes. Butter a cassérolé, sprinkle with crumbs, and fill it with alternate lay ers of cold roast mutton cut in thin slices, and tomatoes peeled and sliced | Season each laver with salt, pepper and dots of butter. The top layer should bé tomatoes. Sprinkle with crumbs. dot with butter, cover and cook for about forty-five minutes.
