Not content with the primary and secondary sex differ ences provided by nature, we seem to want a tertiary set of differences. Short hair for’ men, long hair for women; trousers and skirts; turbans and veils, feathered headdre and 1o headdress at_all. These distine tlons vary according to age and race, but the differences are universal. A people among whom men and women dressed alike we should doubtless put down as very primitive indeed. On the other hand, there always has been and probably always will be an undercurrent of feeling that the cc tumes of men and women are becom- ing dangerously similar. Sometimes the feelinig is that women are becom- ing mannish in their apparel. At other times it is the other way about, and preacifers and moralists prate against the effeminate fashions of men. “Toward the close of the fif- teenth century,” says an old-time his- torian, “the dress of Englishmen was exceedingly fantastical and absurd— in so much that it was even difficult to distinguish one sex from another.” But he consoles himself with the re. BEDTIME STORIES Reddy Finds Some Jelly. Before a puzzle hesitate. Let it your temper irri There had been a storm. All the Mtttle folk who live along the seashore know that after a storm many strange things are likely to be found on the ch. So as soon as the storm was over Reddy Fox and Jimmy Skunk were prowling along the beach to see what had been washed.up by the waves. Many a good meal had they found there, brought in by the waves. But_this storm hadn't brought in much in the way of food. It didn’t matter much, because Reddy wasn't —— (IR . | REDDY WALKED OVER TO - EXAMINE THIS really hungry. He was more curious than hungry.

If they had known any- thing about jelly, T am quite sure that they would have suspected right away that somebody had been along that | way and spilled that jelly. But after they had traveled along the beach a little farther they would have won- dered where under the sun so much Jelly could come from. You see, the | beach was literally covered with these little jelly masses. Reddy was the first one to discover that they were more than clear jelly. He discovered one that was lying on the sand perfectly flat, and he could see something like a cross on it, just as on the Sand Dollar he had seen a star. This led him to suspect that perhaps these masses of jelly were not at all what they looked to be. He went down to the water's edge to see if he could see any in the water. At | first he didn't. ‘Then he saw one just being washed up by a little wave. He hurried over to it. It looked just like the other little jelly masses.” It didn’t move, but lay perfectly still just where the wave had left it. Reddy sat down and scratched his head thoughtfully. Could it possibly be that that thing was alive or ever had been alive? Jimmy Skung joined | him. Then they talked it over. ~They looked all around for some one to ask questions of, but no one was in sight. | Pinally they decided that it was a waste of time to just sit staring at | these things.

What Tomorrow Means to You BY MARY BLAKE. Tomorrow's planetary aspects are benign, rather than actively favorable, and are especially suitable for Sun- day observances and recreations. For about two hours after noon there are indications that your temperament may be unfavorably affected. Any outward evidence of this untoward condition can be counteracted by a small measure of self-discipline. The evening influences will contribute very largely to peace and harmony in the home. Children born tomorrow will mot cause, on physical grounds, much worry or anxiety until they pass the age ‘of 7 years, and then the ail- ments from which they will suffer will tax patience and demand care to the utmost. Once this stage is pass- ed, they promise to develop along normal lines and attain a vigorous adulthood. In disposition they will be vivacious. They will not apply them- selves very enthusiastically to their studles, but their alert minds will en- able them to pull through. These children must be taught early in lite responsibility, and some .means must be devised whereby their ambition is awakened. It tomorrow is your birthday you derive little or no pleasure from out- door sports or pastimes, and, if left to your own devices, would rarely participate in them. You are fond of music, travel and art, and_derive vour greatest joy from intellectual recreation. You are very thought- ful and serious-minded, possibly too much /so. and object to wasting your time and energy on frivolous things. This attitude does not make you un. interesting or uncongenfal. On the contrary, your friends—and they are nearly ‘all of cultured tastes—find you, at all times, both interesting and congenial. You' form very -close friendships, and this is largely the result of your Inclinations being so different from those of the ordinary man or woman. You do not. seek material rewards, nor re You ambitious for them, our reward consists in of achievement. e Well known persons born on that date are: Oliver Wendell Holmes, physician and author; Anna Ella Car. roll, strategist; George F.

SUB ROSA BY MI) Ida Likes Everybody! “Oh, she makes me tired!” declared Ruth, vehemently; “that Ida Lake, T mean. She likes everybody. I've never heard her say a word against anybody. She thinks everybody in the whole world is simply wonderful. A girl like that can't be sincer~.” And yet Ruth is devoted to Pamela, who likes nobody at all, to judge from her conversation. Pamela has never been known to speak a really compli- mentary word about anybody. She can't discuss the slightest acquaint- ance without mentioning at least three 1sons why they're impossible. Why is it that we're all just a little bit inclined to laugh or sneer at the people in this world who find_some- thing good in everybody? What's more natural about an attitude of general friendliness than about the usual one kind of criticism? “Henry’'s a perfect scream!’ as- serts Dor “I wish you could have scen him imitating the dreadful way tertrude dances.

We've all got so in the habit of hearing one another knock everybody hat the spectacle of a girl whose eriticism is always of the kindliest fills us with amazement and wonder. She can’t be sincere, we tell ourselves. But why can't she be sincere? We simply let ourselves get into the state of mind where the logical thing to do is find fault with all those we meet. It never occurs to us for a second to try to find something pleas- int to about our friends and ac- quaintances. Now, if we'd just reverse the vrocess and get our minds into skape %o that it would seem abnormal to find flaws in every one, we wouldn't do ourselves any harm at all. We »ught to be glad when we find among our friends a girl who really likes neople. We can be sure that such a one will be a loyal, true and devoted friend. We need never fear that in her love of eriticism for its own sake she’'ll go hehind our backs to say catty things. Ida, who likes evervbody, should be sought after as a friend. She'll be worth more in the end than all the clever, catty chums whose chief de- light lies in discussing others unfa- vorably. (Copsright. 1026.) Send for Mimi's self-address “Fashion Hints."

Your Baby and Mine BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED. What a Bouncer This Is! Mrs. J. C. writes: “My baby wor- ries me an awful lot, though T can't see anything wrong with her. She is 10 months old and weighs 34 pounds and is 32 inches tall. She does not eat at all, but nurses every three hours in the daytime ‘and at 3 o'clock at night. Rut I do not understand why she gains so and is so fat. Her flesh is firm and solid. She has only fruit and not very much of that. Her feet and hands and head are small, and she is always good; hardly cries at all. If T need advice about this, will you let me see your answer in the paper?” Answer—The baby is tremendously overweight. though she is unusually tall, too. You could cut down on her diet with much benefit to her now by nursing only once every four hours during the day and not at all at night. The baby should be weaned, too, though it would be hard to say that she wasn't being well nourished. But she does need vegetables and fruits and cereals now, as well as cow's milk. Won’t you please write for the weaning and feeding leaflet, inclosing a self-addressed and stamped envelope with your request? Just the Right Weight. “Is my boy, 2 years and 2 months old, underweight? He weighs 28 pounds. When may he have fresh tomatoes, fresh peaches, pears, peanut butter and canned vegetables?” Answer—The boy’'s weight is just right. He can have all the foods men- tioned, with benefit. Be sure to peel the fresh fruits and tomatoes, and see that they are ripe enough without being too ripe. Mrs. L. B. W.—There is much to criticize in your present formula, and there seems to be a good reason why the baby is not satisfied. Here is the proper formula for the age and weight: 18% ounces of whole milk, 16% of boiled water, three tablespoon- fuls of some form of sugar. You are now using two sugars—one to sweeten and the other to help digestion. There is no such thing. We add sugar be- cause so much of the milk’s own sugar is lost by dilution and because cow’s milk doesn’t have as much sugar as mother's milk. It isn't put in to make it taste good or to help digestion, but to increase nutrition. He should be fed absolutely regularly, and when his diet is improved by this better formula he should easily go three hours without a feeding. The eczema should be helped by the small amount of sugar. If not, find out if it is the cow's milk that is causing it, and then have the baby vaccinated against milk protein. Candied Sweet Potatoes. Pare- and parboil 12 sweet potatoes, cut them in halves, boil for 10 min- utes, drain and lay in a greased bak- ing dish. Spread with butter, sprinkle with brown sugar, add salt, pepper and powdered cinnamon, pour in boil- ing water and cook until tender. Baste often with sauce in a pan while cook- ing.

RAWSON, JR. Brooklyn Camp in Peril. BROOKLYN, August 28, 1776.—The Josses in yesterday’'s battle on Long Island, according to the most reliable reports, were, on the British side, 63 killed, 283 wounded and 31 missing; on the American side, about 1,000 killed and wounded and 1,097 taken prisoners, including 91 officers. But this is only one measure of the disaster. The American Army is left in an absolutely untenable position. Gen. Howe has today lald seige to the American camp, establishing his lines only 600 vards from Port Put- nam. Remembering Bunker Hill, he has no heart for an assault on our breastworks. His tactics are to wait until the wind shifts, when his broth- er’s navy can bombard our camp from the East River. There would be no es- caping such a bombardment except in the direction of the enemy camp, which would be the same thing as a complete surrender. Gen. Washington has passed the whole day in camp. The morning | weather was unsettled. In the after- noon, torrents of rain descendéd. Rid- ing constantly about the lines, and from redoubt to redoubt, thoughtless of the downpour, the general found that many points in the camp are di- rectly exposed to enemy fire. He also saw hundreds of his soldiers without tents or blankets, in trenches fifled with water, with nothing to eat ex- cept hard bread and raw pork, and with most of their firearms useless because they could not keep their pow- der dry. By his own example in scorning the weather, his readiness to endure any hardship or enfounter any danger, as well as by frequent words of cheer and praise, he drove away the hopeless despair which must have otherwise overcome his soldiers. ‘While the scattered fragments of the regiments, which were all but de- stroyed yesterday, were reforming un- der new officers, the general further { 1ty raised the spirits of the camp by bring- ing over from New York 1,000 fresh under Gen.

If he would bring to this camp such troops as these at such a time, he must stiil have some hopes for us, said his men. And so he has. But if_the wind should shift—what then? Tonight it still blows strong from the northeast. This is not its prevailing direction at this season Let it veer around to the southwest and the king's sailors and marines will be ready to help his soldiers over- whelm us.
