WOMAN'S PAGE., Three-Piece Pajama Suits for Fall BY MARY MARSHALL. that two Your dictionary will tell you ~ur word pajama comes from Hindoo words—"pae,” meaning leg, and “jama,” meaning garment.

When the style of the house per- mits, and when there is an alluring a large window in is an to be view especially. the living room possibility not looked. This window is a particularly fine one of generous proportions, made in- teresting by many small panes, and it has been draped in such a way as to most of the view. The draperies here are very simple, vet rich in color. They are of putty gray linen, embroidered in a trailing flower and leaf design in orange, green, sea-blue, vellow and mauve in imitation of the old Crewel embroid eries of Jacobean England The large chair beside the window is upholstered in burnt orange velve: and the other uphoistered furniture is slip-covered in blue-green linem. lightly architectural | over- | SUB ROSA BY MIMIL Emerson and Ruth. Emerson is the most chivalrous soul !in the world. He’s so considerate and gallant that he is continually telling | white lies—in order to shield Ruth | from the world's criticism. Ruth, you see, has one of the world's worst dispositions. She’s one fof those girls who was born with a whine in ner voic a scowl be- tween her eyes. At least he does his best to keep it from his friends and neighbors. For instance, he had a date with her one night and on h w over to her house he dropped into see his chum, Bob. Bob was entertaining a crowd of voung people and was particularly anxious that Emerson should stay and I mix a special fruit punch for which the latter was famous. “Call Ruth up and ask her to run; over while you mix the punch.” he urged. T'll drop around and get So Emerson stepped .to the phone in the living room and called his lady fair. What she said when she heard his proposition was far from charm- ing. She couldn’t see why come and call for her. fine way to treat a girl. Hadn't he any more respect for her, etc., etc. Emerson hung up the receiver with a sign and a flush. He explained in his nice, easy way to the crowd, that Ruth wanted him to come over for her. He'd be right back. She had something special to say to him on the way over, etc., etc. He left, smiling his usually easy smile. And when he s gone, the entire party blew up, telling each other what they thought of Ruth. For not one of them there had been deceived in_the slightest degree. They all knew Ruth. Not all Emer- son’s deceptions and excuses could cover the fact of her shrewish nature. They admired him for trying to shield her, but they pitied him, too. For she was not worth shielding. And poer Emerson struggled on, confident that only he knew how dis- agreeable Ruth could be—hoping that some day she would change and then there would be no more need of his constant deception. Emerson and his kind make a big mistake, for in trying to hide the faults of thelr sweethearts from the eves of the world they are uncon ciously blinding themselves to the true state of things. They do the girls no real good— every one knows the true state of things—and they do themselves in- finite harm by not facing the truth. Ismerson has prattled so long to his friends about Ruth’s sweetness of disposition that he's almost come to believe in it himself, in spite of the scenes he has with her continually. He'’s play-acted so long he's con- vincing himself of the truth of what he says. People like Emerson should wake up and stop kidding themselves. They should realize that no amount of lies will conceal an ugly disposition. Mimi will be glad to answer your love questions.

The office of patent examiner is one of considerable responsibility, as_on the correctness of decisions re: the fortunes and sometimes the lives of many men.

C . “the only respec for a woman there at that time was teaching, and there were so many applicants that you had ome one to die before you could get a place.” She was a graduate of the Win- throp Normal School, in Columbia. She had planned to be a linguist, and had studied three languages—French, Spanish and German. After a short time on the clerical staff, first in the classification division and then in the interference division, where investi- gations are made into cases of two or more inventors claiming the same invention, she was sent into the sci- entific Ubrary, and her “gift of tongues” became of use. Here she made translations from French, Span- ish, German, Russian, Portuguese, Italian and the three Scandinavian languages. In the meantime, to meet the exam- ination required for the position of a: sitant patent examiner, she was stud: ing at George Washington University taking the courses in chemistry and engineering, with their associated sub- jects, toward the degree of B. BEDTIME STORIE The Ink Maker. Some people seem to like to shroud Their ‘movements underneath a cloud. : —Graywing the Gull! Reddy Fox had been so interested watching the queer fellow who swam backward and whose feet grew out from his head, for that is what those long, moving feelers really were, that he had quite forgotten the pool that had suddenly turned all blacl when he rolled a stone into it. He was reminded of it now by something that happened. Unnoticed by Reddy, Gray- wing had picked up a stone. He flew up until he was exactly over that queer fellow in the water. Then he let the stone drop. The water splashed up right in Reddy's face and startied him so that he turned tail and raced away. . “Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Graywing. Reddy stopped short and looked back. He didn’t know vet what had happened, but he was sure that Gr: wing had played a joke on him some- how. ~Reddy is just like you—he doesn't like to have jokes played on him. It made him ‘cross. e had opened his mouth to say something sharp and unpleasant when he hap- pened to glance at the water. He didn’t say a word. He forgot that he was going to say something sharp and unpleasant! That water was turning black right where Reddy had seen that_queer fellow. Reddy looked up at Graywing and then down at the water. ~Slowly, for he was very sus. picious, he crept back to the edge of the water. It was just like the water that had so puzzled him in the little ool into which he had rolled a stone a short time hefore. Now, if Reddy had been real smart Clues to Character BY J. 0. ABERNETHY. Not Good in Mathematics. It is understood that no two per- «ons are exactly alike in size, form, disposition or character. Some in- dividuals of ordinary mentality find it quite simple to calculate rapidly, while others, with much keener minds, have a hard time with the simplest sum. Nature never intended that every man or every woman should be an expert calculator or even an average one.
