Let us say that you went into a sort of temporary retirement, s far as shopping and clothes were oncerned, during four or five weeks this spring. Then vou came back, mingled with women whose diversion fashionable . MARSHALL i to wear the new clothes, shopped and went (o your dressmaker. You would have had little cause to think that fashions had changed to any mentionable extent during that pe- riod, but you would have noticed the very much increaxed disposition to tic bows and place ornaments right in_the middle of the front. Sometimes really large ribbon bows are tied right in the middle of the front. Sometimes there is & jubot effect of long willow fringe ex- tending from the neck line down to the hem, right in the middle of the front. This idea of front trimming has been used in the planning of many of the bridal and bridesmaids' gowns for June weddings. You will find. interestingly enough, that where there is trimming right down the middle of the front there ually some trimming device to *b the frock or wraps from being perfectly symmetrical. Witness the frock shown in the sketch. It is of brick-red crepe de chine, trimmed down the middie of the front with embroidery bands of the same mate- rial in the same shade. The coat of the material fastens &t one side. same (Copyright, 1924.) S Pork Tenderloin Sal.-ld. This makes a good meat salad.

To remedy this, heat vinegar io the boiling point and immerse the brushes. Then allow them to simmer for about fifteen minutes or more in strong soap- suds and they will be as good as new. Muslin dresses should not be allowed to soak before being vashed, but should ba rubbed aquickly' thraugh a soap lather. Do not allow muslins to become thoroughly dry and then damp- en them as in the case of other and thicker materials. Roll them in a cloth until partly dry and_then iron. When making coffee do not put the pot over the flame, but Mace it in a pan of boiling wa- ter. This is a slow but excel- lent way of making the bever- age, and, furthermore, it will keeh the coffee hot indefinitely and prevent it from boiling away. The coffee retains its fine flavor and does not become strong. Bread will keep fresh consid- erably longer if when it is cool it is placed in a tin with a well fitting lid. When cooking a joint of mut- ton, ten minutes béfore putting it in the oven spread over it a little fat, then dredge it with flour. Mutton treated in this way will be juley and tender. Shopping for the June Bride BY MRS. HARIL The Chest That Holds Your “Hopes”—and Your Linens. Long before Miss Bride-To-Be be- comes Mrs. Bride she has probably mathered together embroidered low slips, fine linen sheets, napkins end doilles galore for her “hope chest.” But what about the chest itself? This is a _question to be asked and answered long before the “hope” has materialized and the wedding is at hand, for, naturally, a suitable chest should be secured before the content: for it are collected. And since it i impossible for even the most vision ary young person to foresee just what® her social status is to bé in those still far-away days when she moves her “hope chest” to a home “all her own, . her selection by the capacity of her pocketbook and by her own judg- ment. This judgment should lead her to select a chest which would be suitable, whether her lot is mansion or cottage. A simple, plain, neat cedar chest, for instance, is always in irreproach- able taste. Such a chest is not un- reasonably expensive, either, and it serves to keep linens in good cond tion until the “hopeful” one is ready to use them. The gir! who decides on a cedar chest should, in comparing prices, note both the thickness of the stock and the construction of the box. A plain wooden box that is cedar lined may be selected. A cedar Chest should be in every home. Aside she must be guided in | AND H. ALLEN. from the attractiveness of the box, it protects woolens and furs from moths. But if the girl who is some day to become somebody’s bride has a fancy for a real “do chest, and the money to satisfy that fancy, she can | buy Some beautiful super-box, sug- | gestive in its every line and deco- rative emblem of the use for which it is intended. These are of various styles—high and low—and some with a drawer at the bottom and chest above, some with two or three draw- {ers. There are paneled and painted {and carved chests, and some with in- | 1ays of rare woods or metals. ~Such a | box might be finished in gold or sil- | ver, and its ornaments could be of roses and heart's-ease, lovely violets and forget-me-nots, all significant of | thought, hope, beauty and love. And | if the 1ining to such a chest isn’t 1it- | erally “silver,” it should be of some cheerful color that will harmonize | with and throw into relief the other decorations of the box. The wood itself should be of as good quality as the prospective pos- sessor can afford. And if it is panel- ed or carved, instead of merely paint- ed, it will, of course, be still more ex- pensive. But any ornate decoration is out of place if the basic material of the box is not above reproach. However, if it is just a plain strong box of any beautiful wood, don't scorn it. After all, it is the love and hope which go into the selection of the “hope” or “marriage” chest of a young girl, and not its expense and the Intricacy of its ornamentation, that make it val- uable and significaat. Early Days and Ways in Washi Letters written during the presidency of James Monroe by Representative Thomas _ Hill Hubbard of New York.

There is nothing much more dreadful. It happens once in awhile to boys and girls and to grown-up people, but it doesn’t happen nearly as often as it does to the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. And when it does happen to these little peo- ple it is just as hard as it is for human folks. Sometimes it is even harder. The great flood which swept over the Green Meadows made many little people homeless. Most of them were driven out by the water, and succeeded in reaching higher land where the water could not come. A few were surprised like the voung Chuck and Jerry Muskrat and Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse. You know what happened to them. They climbed on whatever they could and drifted about in dreadful fright. Finally they all reached land. That is, all did but Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse. They found safety in a hollow fence post. But all these little people were home- leas even when they had found eafety. They didn't know where to look for food. They didn’t know whers safe hid- ing places were. They didn't know when or where to expect enemles. It was a very dreadful feeling. After the young Chuck' reached shore he found safety in a hole be- neath =ome roots. At least it seemed like safety at first. You see there he was out of sight of the sharp eyes of enemies. But after he had been thero a while that hole didn’t seem so safe. In the first place, it wasn't deep enough. In the second place, the entrance was too large. In the third place, it was very damp. “It won't do,” sald the young Chuck. “No, sir. it won't do. T must find_a better place than this. If Reddy Fox should come along here and ind me asieep T wouldn't have a chance. No, sir, I wouldn't have a chance.” So presently the youn, Chuck poked his nose outside. In a few minutes he poked his whole head out- side. Then he came out wholly.

In ail money matters you Aunt Het BY ROBERT QUILLEN. are quite liber:l—xo long as you have the ?vherewlma this, however, is not prompted by any thought for others' happiness; it is rather based on the personal satisfaction it gives you. A free spender is frequently selfish; caretul spender can be, and often i, quite unselfish. 5 While it is every one’s bounden duty to watch for and protect his or her own interest, nothing is gained by always placing them ahead of all other considerations. One of the most flagrant methods of expressing selfishness is to insist on always Hav- ing your own way, regardless of the effect this may have on the plans or BY EDNA KENT FORBES thing to buy cheaply is shoes X aftor that, stockings.” 1f you skiv o not._sensifive all-wool stockings are very good for cold weather and chilly wet weather, for wool absorbs mois. ture from the feet, it washes and wears well, ventilates and yet keeps the skin warm. Wool and silk could not be quite as warm, but more com- fortable and much smarter. Silk stockings are ideal except for very cold days out of doors: silk also is ab- sorbent, wears well (If the quality is all good) and stretches easily to fit the feet without binding at any part. Cotton is tricky. It either does not take the dye as well as wool or silk, or else the dyes used are not so good, for the color often comes off on the fect. And this certainly isn't healthy. Cheap, thick cotton grows hard with wear, rubs and_irritates and often cau; corns. Good quality cotton, however, makes as healtbful and well fitting stockings, if not %lmn, as ojects of others. Pl fiah People often acquire mate- rial success, but rarely, i ever, taste real happiness or contentment Saec- rifice, in some form or other, is nec- essary for the ideal home life, or for social companionship of the better type. Selfishness is as far removed from sacrifice as the cast is from the 'El:n'-uurrled life, unselfishness will cure, if practiced by both partners, most of the ilis to which matrimony is subject, and incompatibility of temperament—thai rock on which so many marriage ships flounder—is more_often than not symtomatic of selfishness and lack of consideration. Wherever unselfishness is practiced, wherever personal wishes are sub- ordinated to the general good, there you will find happiness—serene and lblfllnf. ‘Well known persons horn on this date are: Timothy Dwight, clergy- man, educator and author; Robert Owen, reformer; David A.

The florists are expert in arranging baskets of blue lupin, yellow orchids and a few purple pansies or a bit of forget-me-not with enchanting re- sults, but the novice would do much better to arrange vases containing several specimens of only one plant and to put those in a bowl or jar of 3 barmonizing shade. Above all,flowers should always be accompanied by their natural foliage Tulipe, daffodils, irises, all have gray- green leaves, characteristic in shape, which are thelr natural setting. To surround yellow daffodils or a bowl of tulips “with feathery asparagus fern or to put irises into a setting of trailing wandering jew is to spoil their stiff, perky cffect entirely. The long blades of the iris leaves are the ideal background for the graceful blossoms. Another thing to_remember is to use few flowers. Half a dozen is generally more decorative than a full dogen. Place them so that each bloom is given its full value, especially if the flowers are of-any size and are lovely in shape. Of course, very «mall flowers must be massed unless they are combined with one or two other miniature blosgoms and placed in a flat table bowl. Cut all flowers with as long stems as possible, and when arranging them in a jar or bowl clip the stems to different lengths. A bowl or flowers with uniform-length stems is hard and stiff and utterly ungraceful. Choose the color of the jar with care. Soft blues, mauves, grays and yellows may be had in poitery forms. and flowers of contrasting shades are tremendously enhanced by the color of the bowis that hold them. MOTHERS AND THEIR CHILDREN Saving Baby’s Stockings. One mother says: Because the baby's stockings tear so badly where they are pinned to the diaper, especially woolen stock- ings, 1 have learned to double their length of wear by taking precau- tions against tearing. Before they are worn I sew a strip two or three inches wide, cut from an old stocking, all around the top on the inside. I sew it by hand on both edges and keep it stretched a little so it will not bind the baby's leg. For white stockings strips of knit underwear can be used. (Copyrignt, 1924.) Menu for a Day.
