WOMAN’S PAGE,” Initials to Ornament Chair Backs BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. B VANGE LINE FILET CROCHET MAKES PILLOWS, SOFA CUSHIONS Filet crochet can be emploved in so many distinctive ways that there seems to be no end of ideas that can be developed which include this hand- some lace. Two ways of using it to trim covers will be en today, one for chair backs that are decidely out of the ordinary and the other for cushion tops in combination with filet insertion and lace edging If the cushion cover is for a boudoir |ing the top pillow use all white in developing it, | but if it is for a sofa pillowtop em latter too dain: linen.

In the usual chair back cover of this type the edges of back and front portions are bound together with tape or braid except for a short space at the top, which should e each side bound separately. Through this open of the chair protrudes, thus holding the cover securely. It is this deviation from the usual closed top found in slipcovers, together with | the shorter length of the cover, that ploy color or make it in natural toned |are distinguishing features of sntima- ways | cas an appearance, and is put in the class | of handicraft fancy work suitable to use in the main rooms of a house, on a porch or in a hammock. It should be remembered that filet designs can be carried out in crossstitch equally well if canvas is basted over fabric and the blocks worked in worsted, cotton or silk thread. This embroid erv is recommended for initials on pillows where brightness and gay colors are wanted And now let us consider the chair back, as the kind to which I refer is quite apart from the usual. It is a cross between a slip cover and an anti. macassar. The cover is made to fit the contour of the chair. It can be pulled off and on like any slipcover, but it also is decorative like an anti macassar and dresses up the chair at the same time that protection is given the back. Home-Made Patterns. No patterns come for these chair back covers, since each chair requires its particular shape to be followed. However, any woman can cut her own patterns from newspaper, being that the pattern fits. remember is that the lower part of the pattern must be wide enough to slip over the widest part of the chair back. In many neces, therefore, lowest part of the c ir back cover (which should come about two-thirds of the way to the seat) does not really fit the back at this place, When the curve in a chair back is very pro nounced the two portions of the cover should be made entirely separate, just the same shape as the chair Prisoner on a Raft.

This was the third narrow escape Danny had had since he reached the Smiling Pool, but he was €0 used to narrow escapes that now that it was over he didn't give it another thought “There is no time to think of things that have happened; I need all my time to think of things that may hap pen,” says Danny. And when you come to think of it, that is a very good way of looking at matter Just now Danny was chiefly con- cerned with getting to shore and so back home on the Green Meadow: The piece of board on which he wa: sitting made & raft for him. It was caught in the outer edge of the rushes at the upper end of the Smiling Pool. From it to the shore was quite a dis tance for such a small fellow as Danny Meadow Mouse. However. he feit quite equal to the swim. He wasn't at_all afrald of drowning. Danny looked through the rushes to- ward the shore. “I'll wait a few min- utes,” said he to himself, “just to make sure that the way is clear. It won’t take me long to swim that far. I just want to make sure that it is safe. Now that Billy Mink is out of the way I can't think of any one that I need fear. But just the same I'll wait a minute. There is nothing like Dbeing_sure.” So Danny waited. Inside of a min- ute he was glad, oh so glad, that he had waited.

Decorative, Practical. This style of chair back gives a cool and pleasing appearance to dining room chairs, making the dining room assume a Summer dress which is not so customary as in living rooms. There slipcovers are generally used. The fancy backs can be used to ad- vantage on plain porch chairs, trans. forming them from unattractive to pleasing pleces of furniture. The cross-stitch fnitialing is advised for porch furniture, for the brilliant wors- teds or cottons used in the embroidery make them more ornamental. But the decoration is not the sole reason why these chair backs are excellent for veranda chairs. They protect dainty frocks from clinging to paint or varnish, which may get a bit sticky in hot weather. Fabrics and Colors. It takes but very little time to make these chair backs. Natural colored linen and unbleached cotton cloth are pleasing fabrics to be trimmed. Or be made of cretonne the decoration be omitted. The 1 is more in keeping slipcovers, and the semblance is accented when filet crochet is employed for ornamental motifs. Do not use lace around edges, but bind them with tape. When filet is used, it is advis- able to have the tape match the fab- ric. When colored cross-stitch em- is used, have the binding with the idea c BY THORNTON W. BURGESS watched.

MODE MINIATURES Keeping cool in the good old Sum- mer time is a subtle study, and experi- ence teaches that there is value in making the world think you are cool even though you are not. And so the sheerest of ~gossamer chiffons are recommended — preferably those with openwork lacy cloxs. For ankles somewhat plump a fine hairline style running up the side will help to slenderize their appearance. For ankles inclined to be too thin a new style clox that circles the hose in bracelet manner as shown is par- ticularly becoming. MARGETTL. Just looking at him | THE EVENING.

BHistory of Pour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. WARD. VARIATION—MacWard. RACIAL ORIGIN—Irish. SOURCE—A nickname. The family name of Ward, as origi- nating from English and Teutonic having been descriptive of an occupa- tion or office in the first use, the “ward” or ‘“‘warden” being a custo- | atan. | But the name does not always trace back to an English source. In many cases it goes straight back to the name of one of the Irish clans. And this name, strangely enough for an Irish family or clan name, was founded on & nickname. The Gaels of Scotland built many of | their clan names upon nicknames, but | though Treland has always been a country of nicknames, even from the | garliest times, it is remarkable how few exceptions there are to the | straight building of the clan name on {a given name. In this case the clan was founded by one “Owen Mac-An-Bhaird,” as nearly as can be ascertained from his- torical comparisons, somewhere about the year 1400. “Mac-An - Bhaird” means “son of the bard.” In England he would have been known as “Owen Bardson,” if the word ‘“bard” had been taken into the English language then. In Anglicizing the word “bard” the Gaelic spelling has been retained rather than the pronunclation, while in the family name Ward you get more of the correct Irish pronuncia- tion, with the spelling changed to suit.

DorothyDixfl Women Who Scorn Housework and Pity Girls Who Work in Offices Fail to See That Happiest Women Are Those Who Are Busy, WHY do we hold to the theory that work is & Hlessing to men, but a curse to women? We know beyond all questioning that the necessity of earn- ing his bread by the sweat of his brow was the consolation prize that Adam was handed along with his eviction papers when he was turned out of Eden. Work—>Mas- culine Gender ldieness— Feminine Gender Bays Work Is Women's Salvation As Wul‘l’qu Men's ‘We know that the only happy man is the busy man. We know that only in constructive labor does a man find an interest that never palls and a game in which there is a perpetual thrill. We know that work is the greatest anodyne for sorrow and the best protection against temptation. We know that, as Stevenson says, “If & man loves the labor of any trade apart from any question of success or fame, the gods have called him,” and he is of all men most enviable. So manifold are the benefits that men derive from work, so salutary are its effects upon them, that we have a contempt for the idle, purposeless man and feel that, no matter how much money he has, he has no right to spend his life in loafing. We are eager to get our boys to work, so that their restless young energy may find a legitimate outlet, instead of being employed in devising new forms of dissipation, for the young man must have something to do, and if he isn't bending his back in honest farming he will be breaking his neck in sowing a wild oats crop. Our attitude, however, toward women and work is diametrically opposite. We do not regard work as & good thing for women. On the contrary, we consider it a misfortune for a woman to have to work. We have even coined a phrase for it and speak of the woman who must earn her own living as a “poor working woman.” . ‘Worse still, the woman who works pities herself. The mother whot daughters go down to business every morning bewails their fate and feels that destiny has dealt most unkindly by them. The woman who must do her own housework, and look after her own bables, and make her own clothes sheds barrels of tears over her lot. fons . N also accept this view of the situation that labor is a curse to women and work themselves to death in order that their wives and daughters may live in parasitic ease, with servants to wait upon them and nothing to do but kill time. In fact, the consensus seems to be that the ideal state for a woman {5 that in which she never performs any useful labor, but merely sits on a silk cushion and feeds upon strawberries, sugar and cream. All of this is a wrong and distorted view of the situation. Women need to work just as much as men do. Idleness has just as disastrous an effect upon the feminine character as it has upon the male, and among women, as among men, the only happy, contented ones are those who are so much en grossed in some useful labor that they haven't lefsure in which to con- sider whether they are satisfled or not. Mother “poor Marys" and “poor Sallys" her daughters who have to earn their living, but nowhere else will you see healthier, happier girls than you find holding down good jobs in stores and offices. Nine times out of ten the girl behind the counter is brighter, more alert and finds life a far more entertaining proposition than does her purposeless idle sister before the counter. Nor is the domestic woman who has to do her own housework entitled to shed any tears of self-pity on our necks. There is no more reason why a usky young woman shouldn't do her share of the work of the domestic artnership than there is why her husband should not do his. It s no more of a hardship for her to have to work than it is for him, and many a rich old woman who sits now with empty hands that ache for occupation will tell you that her happlest days were the busy, crowded ones when she got up at 5 o'clock to cook her husband's breakfast before he went to the factory and sat up until 11 o'clock washing and patching his clothes, so that he could make a decent appearance next day. |7 s & significant fact that the women who fill sanitariums and enrich nerve specialists are not the overworked, hard-driven wives and mothers. They are the middleaged and elderly women, who have nothing to do but to canvass their system for symptoms of every disease they read about in the magazines. It takes leisure in which to develop invalidism. Busy people keep well because they haven't time to be sick. « s e e Nearly every man's ambition is to keep his wife in idleness, and he thinks that he is being a good husband when he can boast that she hasn't a thing on earth to do but to amuse herself. It is pathetic that the thing that so many good husbands strive for is their undoing. For it is the idle women who are the peevish, fretful, discontented wives. It is the idle women who run off with all sorts of fool fads and fancies. It is the idle women who decide that their good, honest, hard- working husbands are not their real soul mates, and who get into scandals with jazz hounds and elope with romantic-looking shelks that they have picked up in hotel lobbies. The idle woman is never a happy woman. Having nothing to do but to think about herself, she is sure to prod around in her mind until she finds a grievance. Having nothing to do, she is sure to get into mischief. Having no interesting occupation. she begins to hunt for thrills. And the net result is that she works harder trying to amuse herself than she would at scrubbing floors, and the only reward is that life is flat, and ale, and unpalatable in her mouth. Let us hope that the time will scon come when we will have enough intelligence to perceive that work is a woman's salvation even as it is a man’s, and when we will congratulate the woman with a job instead of pitying her DOROTHY DIX.

Judging from some of the letters I recelve, the young men of America mu be a rather unappreciative bunch of sweethearts. Hardly a day goes by that T don't get a wail from some sad young thing who tells me that while she knows he loves her dearly, and is always true to her * * * &till he seems to take her so for granted, and he never says nice things to her or bables her or seems anxious to name the Great Date when the wedding bells will start doing a little heavy work. It's one of the troublesome things about a representative of the other sex that as soonas he's got the girl nicely dated up for weeks to come, with no chance for another man to wedge his way in, and no possibility of her falling to love him, the Proud Male becomes indifferent, bored, and thoroughly prosalc and’ dull about the whole thing., That is—he does if the girl lets him. Some girls, however, avold this ter- rible fate by playing a sort of game with their men ¢ ¢ & by keeping the unappreclative young fellow guessing. Of course, if a boy knows that his particuiar girl is sitting at home, reading to mother every single eve. ning he isn't with her, there's not much kick for him in being told that she’s true to him. He knows she true to him Also, if he is aware that she flatly refuses to allow any other boys to come and see her, or take her to the movies or dance four or five times with her of an evening he's not palpitating with excitement at the thought that maybe he has a rival It she goes out of her way to tell him about the old friend she met to. day, and how he simply insisted on paying for her lunch * * * and she hopes her sweetheart won't misunde: stand, and think she was cheating— well, "her sweetheart can be pretty certain that she’s never had an un faithful thought in her life, and so he won't worry about muking sure she still loves him, Whereas if she'd just flirted a bit with other boys—if she’d suddenly shown a brand-new interest in some man who had never appealed to her before—if she would suddenly become mysterious about the way in which she spent the other evenings of the week when she didn't see him—then she'd be giving him something to think about. The result of his thinking probably be that he'd decide a little intensive courtship had better be done. If he feels that she's slipping away qrom him, don't doubt for a minute that he'll brush up all his old pretty speeches, and his pet phrases, and become quite the eager young beau he used to be.

With good environ- ment and proper nutrition, it will successfully overcome, those early weaknesses, and materialize Into a robust and healthy manhood or womanhood, as the case may be. In character and disposition, it will al- ways be restless, nervous and un- settled, and never disposed to tackle any job and make a success of it where persistency is needed. It will always want to be on with the new, before getting rid of the old. It will possess dynamic energy and be hard working—great virtues in themselves when allied with constancy of ideas and continuity of plans. 1f tomorrow is your birthday, you are shrewd and intellectual, with cultured tastes and high ideals.

Whatever the future may have in store for us in the way of such devices, the most = HAT MADE OF GRAIN PURP: RIBBON GROS- popular and most highly favored frock of the present time is the one-piece garment that is, or appears to be, slightly molded to the figure, some times shows a flare, and s quite lacking _in anything suggesting a belt. Women who take the trouble IN THE GARDEN 10 dress in the fashion seem to have adopted this little frock for every and all Summer-time occasions, .generally preferring it to the two-piece type of frock. And this is just by way of remark ing that belts and girdles don't seem to be of much importance any more. And once every frock had a girdle or belt, made separately, usually, not at- tached to the skirt or aist with which it went. A woman would have felt terribly embarrassed if she had to go out without her belt on. There was belting ribbon of a very tough sort, because belts were drawn very snug. This belting ribbon we called Petersham ribbon, and Petersham it is still called, though it is no longer used for making belts. There were Petersham coats worn by men many many years ago, named after Lord Petersham, who set the fashion for these large ulsters. The cloth from which they were made was called Petersham, and a ribbon that re- sembled the texture of the cloth came to be known as Petersham ribbon Now there is no further need for this ribbon in the making of belts, but the miliners have appropriated it for the trimming and making of hats. Sometimes the belting ribbon chosen is of solid ton but oftener it is one of the so-called “fancy weaves showing ribs that run crosswise, al ternating—first a dark one and then a |light one, and sometimes there is ar ornamental kdge.

A Distinctive Garden. “There is one kind of garden, Mr. Burbanlk, that T have thought of more than once during these Midsummer days, and I should be glad to have some suggestions from you about making it. How shall we plant a green garden?” was a question I put to Mr. Burbank one day. ‘A ‘green garden’ sounds like an ordinary garden with a lawn, but I think I know what you mean,” was his reply. “A lawn is indeed a green garden but it is only one type, and the reai en garden is a place of cool, quiet shadings of ith grass or trail- ing plants covering the ground here and there, and low shrubs disposed about in the -foreground with trees beyond—is that your vision of & green garden?” he then asked. “Yes—just that!” I said. come in and say: “Why don't you lay out some flower beds and make a garden? “You need not banish flowers e tirely, and if they insist on being in the picture, they might be in pots and tubs, to be carried out when their blooming time is over. ou will have plenty of color from | the shrubs and trees, because aside from their blossoms which may be se- lected to strike the hour in every month of the vear. you will get a beautiful range of color in the green foliage, and will wonder why you never saw so many shades of green before. “‘8till other notes of color will come in the Autumn. when some of the shrubs and leaves turn to russet and BEAUTY CHATS Keeping Hair Glossy. Whether the hair is glossy or sticky after a shampoo depends almost en- tirely on the amount of soap and the kind of soap used. It is not possible to make the hair clean by using soap on it only once. The first soaping only loosens oil and dirt and takes off a little from the surface. It takes a second soaping, and sometimes u third to carry away the sticky mix ture of dandruff, scurf, dust, hair tonic and the soap and water you've just used. Each time the soap should off and a second soaping done in clear water. If possible it should be hosed off. This amount of soap will the hair. It is the quality and not the quantity that does that. A cake of castile soap melted down with enough hot water to make a thick syrup is the best thing to use. It will take two to four times its own weight of COLOR CUT-OUT THE WATER-SPRITE.
