WOMA Comfortable Beds in Guest Rooms BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. N'S PAGE LONGUE MAY SOFA IN 'EST ROOM. IT NECESSARILY EXPENSIVE. WH THE CHAIR AND PIECE BE OF FURNITURE FOR TH As Summer approaches home makers are apt to give guest rooms particular attention. It is the season of travel, and friends and acquaint- ances are apt to make the most of opportunities to see those who they know are living in places througl which their journeyings take them. Then the housewives realize that va- cation season makes visits possible during the hot weather. There may be the chance to have busy persons spend part of vacations in these rooms in response to cordial inv tions. So, for the unexpected, but no le weldome guest, and for the especially invited guests, rooms should be in readiness. There is pleasure in anticipation in such preparations and a zenuine ease and satisfaction in the knowledge that rooms for guests are prepared. Nothing is more essential than comfortable beds and couches. Whether Zuest rooms are Tuxuriou hed and appointed not, there are certain comforts that every hostess can and should provide. One is a soft bed. It may bhe a large double bed with four posts better still, two single or twin beds or an inconspicuous cot dressed as a couch in the davtime. Or, again, it may be a davenport that is an un- suspected bed . until transformed at nizht. It is quite possible to have the bed downy in any instance. Good sprinzs and a good mattress are es- sentials, and soft pillows, too. There are very few persons who choose hair pillows, and if they do like such com- paratively hard head rests, it is us- ually possible for the hostess to find some sofa cushion that will meet such wishes. A spic and span pillow slip will turn this cushion into a pil- low for the bed. Blankets, Spreads, Covers. The weather may be hot, but this does not signify that blankets should be omitted from the bedding. There should always be one, or preferably a pair, of fleecy blankets beneath the ad, and there should also be an extra quilt or fancy blanket, to be used when the guest takes a nap. This may be folded and laid across the foot of the bed, or it may be placed on a shelf in the guest rooni closet, or even put in one of the lower bureau drawers. Home makers often dislike to put the extra cover across the foot of the bed, lest it det ‘from the decorative effect of handsome spread. These spreads are sometimes costly, and whether they are or not. they are generally attrac- tive in well appointed homes. such fur €ouch or Sofa. Whenever the size of the room per- mits a couch or chaise longue should be one of the articles of furniture. BEDTIME STORIES Clever Guess.

Te this Peter could find no satis- factory answer and so he made none wt all. He wished he hadn't talked aloud. He wished he had kept his tongue still. Anyway, he wouldn’t tell where those eggs were or whose .they were. Thus Unc' Billy would be no wiser and no harm would be done. #o he abruptly turned his back on Une’ Billy and took fo his heels. Away he went, lipperty-lipperty-lip, Unc’” Billy watched him go and chuckled. “Brer Rabbit is trying to run away from his own tongue and taking it with him,” said he. A lot o' folks are that a-w: Brer Rabbit done find some aiggs. If he hadn't he wouldn’t have been talking about them. He can't climb trees, so he must have found those aiggs on the ground. He came along the Laugh- ing Brook, so Ah reckon it was some- “here down the Laughing Brook, and not long agn, that he found them. Ah reckom Ah might as well take a look down that a-way.

It can- not be said to be smaller unless it is made, as is sometimes the case, by | combining two pieces. The combi tion easy chair and high foot rest chaise longue is deservedly popular. The foot rest is shaped to fit the curves of the chair seat, so that a| continuous length all the same height | results. There are two separate and distinct pieces of furniture which may be placed far apart to suit the fur-| nishings of the room until they are| united to form the chaise longue. The advantage of this furniture is appar- | ent. It can be moved about to stand | where breezes can blow. or be out of | draughts at the will of the person oc- cupying it. arious Styles. The duplex or combination chaise | lounge comes in a wide variety of styles from costly French period styles to wicker furniture that may be used in the simplest of Summer cottagé chambers. There should always be one or two downy sofa pillows in the chair. The ingenious homemaker can devise vays of simulating such a charming appointment for the gue: room. A regulation easy chair in a gay chintz, cretonne or printed linen cover and an old-fashioned upholstered piano stool in bench style, with the top covered to match, serves the pur pose admirably. The stool to which I refer is the kind that has a stuffed spring seat, and is not the modern bench of wood. There are many old- time foot rests, high and with sort | upholstered seats, that may be pressed | into service for the extension portion | of the easy chair. While the two pleces can scarcely be expected to fit | together exactly, they should be so| |chosen that they come together for veral inches where they touch. | The hostess who provides a soft bed {to sleep in at night and an inviting | couch of one sort or another, or one |of these c longues on which her | guest can have refreshing relaxation |during the daytime, has supplied the | two chief requisites for personal com- [fort that a guest room can hold. BY THORNTON . BURGESS | So Unc’ Billy climbed down from his |perch in the tree and shuffled along | over to the Laughing Brook and along the bank in the direction from which Peter had come. His shrewd little eyes kept sharp watch of the ground all about and his sharp little nose was poked into every likely place. But he found no nest and, of course, no ezgs. He came to the edge of the ireen Forest to where the Laughing Brook went on through the alders and so to the Smiling Pool on the Green Meadows. Une’ Pilly paused. He was a bit in doubt about going on. Then in some mud he saw the prints of Peter's feet. Unc’ Billy chuckled. “Ah reckon Ah am headed right,” said he. “Ah won- der could it have been the aiges of Longbill the Woodcock that Brer Rab- bit found. It will do no harm to look about in these alders.” | So Unc’ Billy kept on. Pretty soon tedwing the Blackbird spied him and flew over to make a great fuss, call- ing him a thief, a rascal, and other unpleasant things ne’ Billy didn't | mind particularly. In fact, he didn't| mind atall. You see, he knew by Red- | wing's actions that. somewhere mear | was Redwing's nest. So Unc' Billy | began looking up in the alders as well | fas on the ground. There must be two | nests over here, for he was sure that | Peter couldn’t possibly have seen Red {wing's eggs. But when he reached the edge of the alders without®having found any nest at all, Unc’ Billy began to think that he wasn't so good a guesser as he had thought himself. He didn’t just like going out in the open in broad day- light. Just a little way ahead was the Smiling Pool. Une’ Billy thought- fully scratched his nose. There might [be Turtle eggs buried in the sand near the Smiling Pool. Turtle eggs would be a treat, quite as much of a treat as any eggs Peter Rabbit was likely to have found. This decided Unc' Billy and he moved on again. The instant he came out from the alders he saw on a stone on the edge of the water a neat, small person, whose tail kept bobbing up and down. It was Teeter the Sandpiper. Unc’ Billy grinned. It was a pleased grin, a satisfied grin. He recalled that Peter |had sald those esgs were pretty, and he remembered having once found | Teeter's eggs and that they were | pretty. “As sho'ly as Ah am an old sinner it was Teeter's nest-that Brer Rabbit found,” he muttered, and started on.

She is just the kind of a woman she should I find myself at times anxious for the society of some other women. not any particular woman any particular time. but just the wholesome society of other women occasionally. Do you think a man should be allowed the privilege of going out with other women, provided he allows hiz wife the same lberty? K. M. B. Answer: T think that the greatest mistake that any young married couple can make is to believe that they can be all-in-all to each other, and to try to live a sort of hermit life In their own home. No two persons, no matter how muck in love they are with each other, are all sufficient to each other. They are bound to talk out. They are bound to get fed up if they see too much of each other and not enough of other persons. 3 Therefore, a wise wife draws about her a pleasant circle of men and women, in which she gets the society of other men, and her husband gets the society of other women, in a wholesome way, and instead of this alienating husbands and wives it dgaws them closer together because they of finding them separately. Nor does It lead to flirtatiousness. Many a woman never appreciates her husband so much as she does after contrasting him with the husbands of her friends, and many & man admires his wife the more, the more he sees of other_women. But while plenty of general society is good for husbands and wives, It is a dangerous experiment for either a marrfed man or a married woman to have dates as they did before they were married. It isn't in human nature for a woman not to be jealous if she knows her husband is stepping out with some young and attractive woman, nor can any man sit at home with a quiet mind, knowing that his wife is having a hectic evening, dining and dancing with ‘some other man. we love we want to most of us can muster us and go to others for Cupid is the great monopolist. hose entirely, and it takes more philosophy than willing for our hushands and wives to leave good times! b my advice to you some clubs, and give some temining society besides vour around ‘with women possess to be their Mr. K.

That she has seen her lively ax a cricket trying to act like a youngster, and when his wife walks in he appears as if he had had an awfully frying day. She says it sickens and disgusts a fair-minded girl to see such stuff put over on an innocent wife, and she doesn't trust me any more than she does these men.

Third, she is jealous, as she always imagines you are trying to make an old fool of yourself, trying to act gay with the girls in your office. Fourth, she is no chum. last her her lifetime. Now my brother is married to a girl who has never worked, and she makes him an ideal wife, waiting on him when he comes in from the office, listening to him tell of his work, and never once thinking of the girl in the as having any connection with her home. She has never had an allowance and is satisfied with whatever my brother gives her. This girl will never be suspicious of her husband, while the business girls are all suspicious, as they judge their husbands by the mollycoddles they worked for RIE, L. Answer: You can't judge all business girls by the one you married, any more than you can judge all home gi by the one your brother married. Doubtless their experiences with men make many business girls cynical, but, on the other hand. it broadens the mental horizon of many more. Business teaches them the value of monéy, to be prompt and accurate. and i gives them a discipline that stands them in good stead when they embark on the career of matrimony Nor is the domestic girl invariably such a paragon as you seem to think vour brother has. There are women who never saw the inside of a business office who are jealous, who are extravagant just because they do not know how hard money comes, and who make slaves of their husbands. v are all business men philanderers. The proportion of them that are is very.small I have worked for many vears in offices, and the most precious experience that I have brought out of it is the respect—I might almost say the reverence—for the American business man. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred he spends his life slaving to support his family, and the sacrifices he makes for it, the fidelity he shows to it, make him worthy of being canonized. Love-making and flirtations with the girls in his office have no part in his life. He is kind and courteous to them. but that is all. They are just | cogs in the wheel that grinds out money for wife and children, and that’s that, and so far as her emplover is concerned, a girl in an office is generally as safe as n her mother’s parlor. I am not contending that all business women make perfect neither do all business men make perfect husbands. woman you would have married, R. S. T., vou would probably have wished you had married the other. DOROTHY DIX. wives, but EAR DOROTHY DIX: I am one of those unfortunates who have fallen in love with persons of different religions. I say that we are of different religions, but that is hardly accurate, as he belongs to the most advanced group of the reformed Jews, while I belong to one of the most liberal branches of the Protestant Church, so as a matter of fact our religious views are practically identical However, my mother and all my family are taking violent exception to the match, saying that if 1 marry him 1 will be scorned by both the Jews and the Gentiles. This, however, does not seem to be borne out by the treatment I have been accorded by his family, who are more than friendly to me, and while he happens to have more Gentile than Jewish friends, his Jewish friends whom I have met seem to see nothing unusual in the match, being of the same tolerant views as my sweetheart himself. R. D. B. Generally speaking, the marriage of people of different faiths is not advisable, as there are enough things in matrimony to quarrel without injecting a holy war into it. But inasmuch as you and the young man think alike, 1 see no reason why vou should not marry and be happy I know a great many very successful marriages of Jews and Gentiles, and the couples are great favorltes in both Jewish and Gentile society.

There must be some deeply rooted association between shades of pink and thoughts of bridesmaids, and this association must be growing ever stronger, because a very large pro- portion of the distinguished brides of the year have been attended by bridesmaids clothed ip some one of the rosy shades. Pink taffeta seems to be especially well liked for frocks of the molded contour as well as those of bouffant skirts, for which taffeta has ever been considered most appropriate. Yards and yards of chiffone and georgette in all the pink and near- pink shades are also being convert- ed by nimble fingers into frocks for June bridesmaids. The sketch shows a model chosen for one of these. It is of flesh pink chiffon with a well-defined walstline and is trimmed with cream lace. The large hat is of chiffon and lace, trim- med with a pink rose in deeper shade the brim, forming a scarf. It is worn with pink and white pearls. Another set of pink bridesmaids for June shows a straightline model of pink taffeta with the enormous chou of matching tulle at one side trailing on the floor. Very striking is a rose taffeta frock showing a long-waisted closely molded bodice with fuil, bouffant skirt. It is cleverly com- bined with cornflower chiffon so that it seems to shade from rose to blue. At a smart Spring wedding where the bridesmalids wore frocks of peach colored chiffon they wore quaint little brown poke bonnets. At another much-talked-about wedding the bridesmaids wore frocks of pink and orchid. In fact, it really is difficull nowadays to find any bride who, if she is planning to have bridesmaids at all, is not planning to have them ‘wear pink. The French bridesmaid’s frock is, like the bride’s frock, usually rather dignified and ceremonious. Sleeves are usually long or long enough to meet long gloves so that none of the arm is left bare. And as the fashionable French wedding is almost always a daytime affair, it is accom- panied by a hat. The bridesmaid’s frock that resembles an evening dance frock with sleeveless and de- cidedly decolette bodice is an Amer- ican innovation. ) (Copyright, BRIDESMAID'S FROCK OF BLUSH PINK CHIFFON.

SPRINGTIME : BY D. C. PEATTIE. { Shooting Star: There are shooting stars that gleam | | unbdlievably for a moment in the| | skies, and there are the shooting stars | that blossom with entrancing loveli- ness for a brief space in May, in the | { Woods around Washington. On the | { prairies of the Middle West they are | {abundant, and children go to look for | | them as perennially as the little ones | {here go out on hunts for irailing ar. {butus. But in the District it is es | sentially a rare flower, though if one knows where to look for it around | Chevy Chase and Glen Echo ft is not hard to find. And how worth while is the search that has the shooting star for its re- {ward at the end! This lovely little | ! plant, sometimes called also American | | cowslip, resembles more the cyclamen than anything else, with its ored petals like those of c the whole flower gracefully nodding | with three or four of its fellows from | the slender leafless stem. The turned- | mid of the clustered anthers pointing | forward do indeed look much like a star shooting through the sky and leaving behind its moment trail. Lucky is he who chances onThe rarer | white-flowered form. The shooting star, indeed, takes the | place in America of the old-world cyc- | lamen, for they are both of the quaint primrose family. But shoot- ing stars grow, like so many other plants, only in America and Japan and China. In size and splendor Eu- rope’s cyclamen is perhaps unsurpass- ed, but we may be proud of the more | modest beauties of our own endearing delightful shooting stars. i HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTO) “On a Wild-Goose Chase.” A search for something that cannot be found, a useless effort, an im- nossible cause, a hunt for something that will probably not be attained, is spoken of as “a wild goose chase.” The reference to the elusiveness of success in a chase of the wild goose is, of course, obvious. But there is more than that to the story of the phrase. The modern phrase, “on a wild goose chase,” owes its origin to a | story told of that skillful sportsman, Charles T of England. Charles liked his hunting, and, according to the story, a similar fondness on the part of the nobles sometimes interfered with his enjoyment. Tt irritated the King, on the train of his quarry, to find other hunting parties beating through the wood and sometimes crossing his path. On one occasion, when he was par- ticularly desirous of getting rid of them, an idea came to him. He pub- lished among the nobles an offer of a prize to the one who could capture the greatest number of wild geese. Oft they went to the seashore and the King had the woods to himself! And so, though the object is not literally wild geese, a not unfamiliar method of getting rid of a nulsance today is to send the person “on a wild goose chase.” . — Raisin Molds.
