It is rather pleasant in Mid winter, with gray skies overhead, to begin planning just what sort of frocks and hats vou will have for your next holiday trips.

You may be able to make a last season’s sweatgr or sport jacket an swer the purpose. If you want some- thing a little different from anvthing seen last year, then by all means get one of the little straight-lined, tailored flannel coats of hip length.

Mr. Little sald when he came home from work. “That's something Arthur's work ing with in that chemistry laboratory he rigged up during his vacation,” Mrs. Little replied, wishing that her son Arthur had some other hobby in stead of one that filled the house with strange odors and might blow up the whole place at any moment But chemistry was more than a hobby with Arthur D. Little, the boy of 13, who had just rigged up a little laboratory to work in during all his spare hours. He is now a famous in- Gustrial chemist, president of a big factory in Cambridge, Mass., in which important and valuable tests and dis- coveries are alwayvs going on Here 18 a letter this busy chemist has taken time to write to the boys and girls who read this paper: ok k ok Dear Boye and Girle So long azo that T might almost gay “once upon a time” 1 was sitting one morning at my desk in the gram. mer school in Portland, Me., when the bov in front turned his head and whispered, ““Have you got 10 cents?” As I had a lonesome dime I whispered back. “Yes.” “Give it to me and I'll show some chemical experiments this afternoon,” he said. It sounded myeterious and interesting, so I gave him the dime. and after school we went to a drug bought some store glass tubing and some acid, and went on to his house, where he tried some simple experiments, one of which blew up. That settled my career. T began ‘o study chemistry in earn est and I have kept at it ever since. The point of that little story for those of you who are still in school is, that something is liable to happen at any moment which will similarly de termine the course of your own lives You can never tell what form your call to service may take. We are all minute men. I found my interest in chemistry. but there is interest everywhere if vou look for it. Once I knew a man who sold old rags to paper makers. | knew him well enough to tell him I thought it must be a very uninterest ing business. “Not a bit of it." he said. “I have to know the habits of lite of people all over the world in order to buy rags intelligently.” When you get to work your atti tude toward it will determine the quality of your job. A philosopher once came upon three men cutting stones. “What are you doing?” he asked the first. “Cutting stones.” the man replied dully. “What are yvou do- ing?" he asked the second. “Working for eight florins a day,” he answered sharply. “And what are you doing?" he asked the third, who drew himself up proudly and said, “I am building a cathedral” May you all be cathedral builders. ARTHUR D. LITTLE Yarns Of the Big Woods. The Treehopper. BY ART CHILDS. r (Up_in the great lonesome woods of { the Worth the old_guides have made up many yarns which they tell over and over to the tenderfeet from the cjties—their own way of explaining thesstrange tracks and weird noises. Mr. Childs who used to be a game warden in the woods of Northern Wis- consin, collected these stories himself from the “oldtimer “Listen!” cried the voungest tender- | foot. “I heard some sort of animal | making a queer noise just then.” “Maybe it was an animel,” answer-| ed his guide. whose face had heen | ten by the winds of < for many | unpopular up here.

He's a funny little fellow that lives in the trees and hops about from one to an- other.” ““What kind of noise does he make?"”’ “Well, now, that's just where the trouble is—why the treehopper is so You see, he can imitate any animal or bird in the woods.

The skirt is one of the short, stralght sort that would be very scant If it were not for the inverted box pleat at the | front. This skirt can be used with a | separate blouse of white crepe de | chine and a blue flannel sport jacket [ to make a sports or general outdeor costume For the everyday frock for warm weather nothing is better than one of the new striped wash silk one-piece frocks that most of the dealers in sports apparel designate as tennis | frocks. These are made this season with long sleeves with regulation | man’s cuffs, though for actual tennis they are better wehn provided with very short sleeves. Washable crepe de chine with printed stripes or ! striped men's silk_shirting is the ma- terial from which such frocks are made, * ok x x can have another every day then by all neans get one of the very new frocks of balbriggan. Thexe are made like the wash silks, in one or (wo. pieces, and are washed without difticulty. The old-fashioned balbriggan from which men’s light- weight under things were made was, as you may know, a cotton fabric. The material that Is mentioned so often in present-day fashion reports |and that has been used almost as | much as kasha by FKrench dress- | makers lately ix of wool or wool and cotton, achieving the effect of the old being a literal | time material without | reproduction of it Originally Balbriggan was known | only as the name of & quaint town in Ireland. There it was that certain | stockings of & special sort were first ! made. and from the town the stockings | took their name. Later undergarments | | were made in like manner and they | were known as Balbriggans, and now the old Irish name has been extended to a sort of wool fabric which is on the | tip of every one's tongue who apeuks | of current fashions | This material is sold by the yard, of course, and it would not be a difficult |task to make one of the simple little | sport frocks of it. It may be had in natural” tones of gray, though the blends showing green, rose, violet or vellow are quite smart, | The separate balbriggan slip-on is sometimes worn with fldnnel or tweed | skirt. If you do not want to go to the expense of an entire balbriggan frock, you can buy the slip-on and wear this with a flannel skirt which you may happen to have on hand or which you may make at home at not very great expense. ¥ rx* O one can possibly pass a pleasant Summer holiday without comfort- able shoes—1 mean shoes that are ex aggeratedly comfortable. And this usually means having them a half size {or a size larger than these to which | you are accustomed. Make sure of this unless, of course, your idea of a Sum- | mer’s vacation comprises vi of plaving bridge and mah-jong, in hotel lounges or on hotel v dancing a little, sitting interminably at meals and taking short and leisure- 1y _promenad For general sport wear the low heeled sport oxford, made in combina- tlon of canvas and leather or all leath- er, is well chosen. This will ar the purpose for golf, tennis and gen eral morning wear. The brogue lLype of oxford is still kood for Sport w or boating you w 2 shoes of the sneaker variety, soles. No fwo women have exactly the same {dea as to what constitutes the ideal street frock for very warm weather, but great is the present-day appeal of some sort of printed chiffon for this purpose. We have—or shall have very soon—become so used to even the largest and splashiest of these prints that there is certainly nothing startling about a frock made from a print on one of the dark foundations—black, red or dark blue Made with long sleeves there seems to be no need for any sort of wrap, save possibly a scarf. It may be that your idea of a per- fect- Summer vacation consists of a period when there shall be no evening parties and no dre for dinner. If vou habitually xo toin 1l ning and consider evening essential even to dinner at b it Iy a treat indeed to go off to some lodge in the mountains or cottage by the sea, where that convention Is eliminated. Otherwise there Is some thing of thrill about changing every night for dinner. Very simple evening frocks are usu ally chosen for warm weather.
