Choice of Chairs for Sunimefi P 8 BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. HONGKONG CHAIRS ARE COOL, COMFORTABLE AND DISTINCTIVE. There is a very real reason why chairs for Summer use should be dif- ferent from those most desirable for cold weather. This does not mean that a house should have different chairs to use in each of these seasons, but that the chairs most enjoyed at one time are those least likely to be com- fortable in the other. Therefore, when furnishing a residence to be used for cold weather only (where families go away during the Summer), chairs of one style should be selected. If the house to be furnished is one used in the Summer only, the second style should be picked out. It is where houses are used equally for Summer and Winter dwellings that the two types of chairs should be combined. First of all, what is the outstand- ing difference between the two kinds? ‘We find it consists in what we may term—in lieu of a better one—the shielding qualities of the chairs. In cold weather the chair should in a measure act as a shield from draughts. In early days when central heating was not used, and rooms were draughty, this idea was catered to. Backs of easy chairs and of ordinary settles were high and arms were fre- quently solid either of the wood itself or with the frame completely covered with upholstery. Today the latter is the approved method. But in chairs of yesterday and today we find lux- ury in Winter styles stress this pro- tecting quality. Why Willow Is Good. In chairs for hot weather what is sought is a lack of this very element, An opportunity for air to circulate as freely as possible about a person's body is desirable. There is comfort in coolness. BEDTIME STORIES Sammy Gives the Alarm. A noisy tongue has some excuse When to good purpose put to use. —SAMMY JAY. Sammy Jay was so excited that he fairly danced. He had seen the spotted stranger whose footprints had so dis- turbed all the little people dn the Green Forest, and the stranger had disappeared in a cave in a ledge of rocks deep in the Green Forest. Back of him Sammy could hear the hunters A . "SHALL I TELL THEM WHERE HE IS?" SAMMY ASKED HIM- SELF. as they came through the Green For- est making a great deal of noise. He knew now what those hunters were after. He knew that they were after that spotted stranger. “Shall I tell them where he is?” Sammy acked himself. If it were one of our own people of the Green Forest I shouldn’t think of such a thing. But it isn't. It's a stranger, and everybody in the Green Forest is afraid of him. I think I'll call those hunters.” So Sammy Jay opened his mouth and began to scream at the top of his lungs: “Thief! Thief! Thief" Now, of all those hunters who were tramping_through that forest Farmer Brown’s Boy was the only one to heed the voice of Sammy Jay. The instant he heard Sammy’s voice he stopped to listen, “Do you hear Farmer Brown. “Yes, I hear it,” sald Farmer Brown, also stopping to listen. know what that?” sald he to it means?” I lose my mind when buying clothes. The way I dress is not from venity — It rather represents in me An intermittent ¢5 lapse From sanity. RACa? Anything that prevents the air from circulating is a detriment. This is the reason why willow, wicker, grass and cane and other similar sub- stances are in the fore in chairs for hot-weather use. They are cool to occupy. Because they are cool, when such chairs are used in winter fur- nishings, they are apt to be uphol- stered. It is well to have this put on in such a way that during the Sum- mer it can be removed. In Olden Times. Every one who is familiar with the old-fashioned use of wooden spindle or slat-backed rockers will remember that padded pieces fitting the backs were fastened to them during the Winter. These simple forms of up- holstery served the double purpose of keeping off draughts and softening the backs. But when Summer came these quilted or tufted back uphol- stery portions were removed. It was when such chairs were for grand- father, or grandmother, or elderly parents, that these back pieces were left on. These persons needed to be protected and made comfortable when ;he" blood was thin and the bodies rail, Luxurious Coolness. Painted wooden furniture with backs that are slat or spindle is a favorite because of its decorative quality to- day. But the Hongkong ~furniture brought from hot climates and also the willow, etc., of our own makes hold high places in Summertime chairs. There is a delightful “give’” to the reeds, willows, etc., that pro- vides a suggestion of the luxurious comfort of heavily upholstered chairs with their many springs that are favored for Winter furnishings. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS “It means,” said Farmer Brown's Boy, “that Sammy Jay has seen the fellow we are after. 1 know Sammy well enough to know that. He is over by those ledges. When We get over there we'll find the fellow we are after in one of those caves. We ought to have thought of those before. But, then, I don't believe he was there before.” “Thief! Thief! Thief!” screamed Sammy Jay, more excited than ever. The nearer the hunters approached the louder Sammy screamed. He dian’t fly away now. You see, that shrewd head of his had reasoned out that these hunters wouldn’t harm any- body who belonged in the Green For- est. He felt sure now that it was perfectly safe for him to remain. Se it was that when Farmer Brown’s Boy came in sight of the ledges the first thing he looked for was Sammy Jay. Sammy was flying about from one branch to another just above a certain place on the ledges, and there he was screaming as only he can. As soon as he saw Farmer Brown’s Boy he screamed harder than ever, if that were possible. It was a wonder he didn’t split his throat. “There is an entrance to a cave right under where Sammy is,” said Farmer Brown’s Boy to Farmer Brown. “If I know anything about it, Sammy saw that fellow go in there. That is what he is trying to tell us. I think we had better call the rest of the men here and decide what to do.” So Farmer Brown called, and pres- ntly all those hunters were gathered around him. Farmer Brown's Boy led the way over to the entrance to the cave. It was rather a small en- trance., One of the hunters examined it very carefully. “He is in there!” he cried trium- phantly at last, and held up a yellow | hair which he had found on one of the rocks. “Good!” said another. “This 18 go- ing to save us a lot of trouble. This is better luck than I feared we should | have. Now, what are we to do? Shall we smoke him out and shoot him?" “Not unless we have to,” said a man who_seemed to be in charge. “Farmer Brown, is there any road where near here?” here’s an old wood road that comes in almost to these ledges,” re- plied Farmer Brown. “We'll go look it over,” said the man.

THE EYENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Sunday, June 12. Tomorrow is an uncertain day, ac- cording to astrology, but it should be fairly fortunate to those who pass the hours out of doors. Early in the morning the aspects are favorable to religious observances and the clergy should benefit. There is a sign read as likely to incline many young men to turn at- tention to preparation for the min- istry. Americans are to serve as Army chaplains and to attain wide influence in foreign countries, it is prephesied. Taxes are to be discussed with new interest, for there will be events that cause heavy public expenditures, the seers prognosticate. This is a sway conducive to misap- prehensions and misunderstandings regarding public men and their poli- cles. Envy and jealousy will be strongly evident while this rule prevails, and holders of public office will suffer loss of popularity. Bitter political battles are to dis- tinguish conditions in many States, if the stars are wisely interpreted. Many surprises are indicated. A serious storm may be expected before the end of the month, and farmers will sustain heavy losses, it is augured. Living costs certainly will increase, if astrologers are to be relied on for exact information. Food prices will soar before the end of the Summer, it is prophesied. Dress is to continue to occupy at- tention among men as well as women, but many uniforms are to be worn be- fore the end of the year. PBersons whose birth date it 13 prob- ably will have success that involves much publicity. Children born on that day probably will succeed best as employes, but they are likely to be ambitious for indepen- dence that will not bring them success. NANCY PAGE A Traveler is Known by His Luggage BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Peter's English ancestry showed itself in the selection of his luggage. He never even called it baggage. It had the air of luggage, and luggage it was. He chose black box calf for a mail pouch type of bag with zipper closing. He purchased an_overnight bag of lizard grain calfskin for His latest extravagance was a hooded golf bag. When Nancy remonstrated he explained that it looked *so bloomin’ untidy with the sticks extendin’ out in all directions.” In trunks he was equally fussy. Nancy felt as if the last word in lux- ury was expressed in her newest trunk. It was dustproof. It opened Nancy. like a door. The waterproof canvas covering was smart with its beige coloring and bold striped effect. The perfect balance of its parts made it move easily with no floor scratching. The various compartments and hang- ers made it as useful as a built-in cup- board or wardrobe. A self-adjusting rod locked all the drawers at one time. Dietitians prescribe cool and _refreshing dishes for hot Summer weather. Write and inclose stamped addressed envelope to Nancy Page. care of The Star, and ask for her leaflet on Summer Salads. HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN, This small hallway owes much of its quiet, homelike charm to the Dutch door which opens upon the garden at the rear. The two halves swing sep- arately, so that the lower portion can be left closed and the upper half opened to admit light and air. The upper portion of this door is unusuai 4 an in that it is set with small window- panes. The long strap-hinges of hand- wrought iron add a picturesque touch. Of course the door does not bear the whole burden of supplying at- mosphere. Worthy of note also is the floor of wide pine boards, the semi-circular hooked rug before the door, the quaint polka-dot wall paper, the chair rail and painted wainscoting, and the early American lighting fixture. . Special Bath Rag. Cut a circular piece 12 inches across from loosely woven crash or Turkish toweling, hem or bind it neatly, and run in drawing tapes long enough to let the bag lie flat. To use, put a cake of soap or a handful of salt, or any bath mixture such as soap and almond meal or oatmeal, soap and powdered orris root, or wheat bran and salt for a tender skin, inside the bag, draw it up, then use it like a sponge. Empty it, rinse, and dry the bag after you use it. Such a bath bag saves the annoying loss of soap and prevents any clogging of drainpipes. For a perfumed bath, make the bag of cheesecloth or Swiss muslin, fill with fresh rose petals or stemless violets, with_shreds of dry orange peel scat- tered through and let it soak in the bath water for about 15 minutes C., SATURDAY, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT YOUR OWN LOCALITY?

DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX Wise Mother Makes Playfellow of Son, Instead of Training by Fear—How to Deal With Meddling Family. JDEAR MISS DIX: T have only one child, a little boy of 4. I play with him a great deal, and the other day when I was having « pillow fight with him his father objected and said that it was not right for me to put myself on a level with the child, that I was not strict enough with him, and that children should be taught to fear their parents. He was brought up in this way and he was in terror of his father and mother even when he was a big boy. Am I doing wrong in playing with my child and making a companion of him? My husband’s strictures make me feel that I am a failure as a mother, and that I should not take the responsibility of having other children, MRS. L. O. T. Answer: I think that you are entirely right, Mrs. L. O. T., and that your husband is utterly wrong in his theory of rearing a child. I believe that every child should be taught to obey, and that it should be under authority, but in order to do.this it is not necessary to be stern and_strict and harsh. On the contrary, ghe most efficient way to ‘enforce obedience is by gentleness. If you arbitrarily command a child to do this, or not to do that, it raises the spirit of rebellion in its little breast, but if you will explain to a child why it is better for it to do this and what the consequences will be if it does somo(l?ing else, nine times out of ten it will accept your opinion without protest. The unanswerable argument against ruling a child by fear is that there is such a short time in his life when he is physically afraid. You can beat a little child into submission, if you are bully and brute enough to strike a creature weaker than yourself, but in a few years he is no longer helpless. He is strong enough to defend himself, and then, if you have established no claim upon him but fear, you have no hold upon him whatever. Worse than that, fear is the prolific mother of the little vices that undermine character. Make your child afraid of you and you make him a liar and a cheat and a double-dealer and a sneak. You teach him, at the formative time of his life, all the under-handed ways of doing things. You kill candor and frankness and truth in him. For the average child is no George Washington who is going to rise and say, “Father, I did it,” when a window is mysteriously broken, or a cookie jar is found empty, or father’s pet fishing line is missing. On the contrary, Johnny will turn eyes filled with heaven's own innocence upon father and furnish an alibi that a prosecuting attorney couldn’'t shake, or else lay the mischief on the cat. He has learned that it is far, far easier and pleasanter to lie than to take a beating. No complaint is commoner among parents than that their children never tell them anything. They invariably blame the children for this lack of con- fidence, but the blame for it rests on themselves. They have made their children so afraid of them that they are tongue-tied in their presence and miserable and ill at ease. Experience has taught them that father and mother are going to wet-blanket all of their plans, and deny them every pleasure, and that whatever they say will get them in wrong and start something. Therefore. the safest plan is to hold their tongues and do what they want to do, and take the chances that their mother and.father will never find it out. You are avoiding making this mistake, Mrs. L. O. T. By making a playfellow of your child in his babyhood you are binding him to you by the bonds of love that are unbreakable, instead of fettering him to you by the chains of fear that he will snap as soon as he has the strength. You are getting acquainted with your child, and you have to do that when he is young. You can’t get to know a half-grown boy or girl, you must begin the companionship in the cradle or not at all. And knowing him, you will be able to guide him and influence him, and you need never be afraid that he will not turn out to be a fine man. 0 Mother love is the strongest influence in the world for good. A: 3 forget that no child ever loved the parent it feared. DolgOTHY ';3“])2?" : e e e JDEAR DOROTHY DIX: My wife and T have been married for nine years and have two nice little girls. My family are crazy about the children, but they dislike my wife and are continually criticizing her to me. They find fault with her housekeeping, and think we should always stay at home instead of going visiting or taking a ride, and that my wife should not go to visit her family every thres months. Now my wite suits me, but nothing she does my ‘people. What would you do? Go far aws them where to head in? R s Tl Answer: I'd do both, if T could. I would begin by telling them t thelr own business and let mine alone. and that inasmuch ik 'ho was married to the lady and had to live wi Sho ammartied fto1thsl 8 o live with her, if she suited me it And then, if T could manage it, T should move as far away froj meddling family as possible. For while you will ba able {0 slience yeir mother's and sister's fault-finding with your wife for a little while, they won't stay silenced. Sooner or later they will slip the gag and go at it again, It is sad but true that distance is the onl; ly effectual remedy In cases of family discord. If you want DPeace, you have to put so much space between the belligerents that they will have t t H express their opinions of each other. SR i NG oxbotonep o Of course, finding fault with their in-laws is the chief indoor sport of many a man'’s family, but what a pity it is that they cannot realize the harm they do and the chances they take on wrecking the home of the man they love and whom they really do not intend to injure! One wonders that they never think of how unhappy he will be if they make him dissatisfled with his bargain by pointing out to him all of his wife's faults and weaknesses. One wonders that they never think of what a cruel position they put him in when he must take sides, either with them or with his wife, when he is literally torn between the two, both of whom he loves and to both of whom he would like to be loyal. But if you ever expect to have any peace or happiness you must face this issue, and tell your family that you will never again listen to a word of criticism of your wife. DOROTHY DIX. DR )JEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a young girl 19 years of age and no boy has ever asked me for a date. I do not myself care about going out with these young sheiks, but my friends and family nag me continually about never having any beaux and this embarrasses me. What do you advise me to do under the circumstances? Why do boys rush some girls and pay no attention to others just as nice? An Unsymmetrical Figure. Dear Miss Leeds.—In preparing for the coming Summer season I wish to ask a few questions. (1) My thighs measure 19 inches and 20 inches, re- spectively. Which one is nearest the correct figure and how can 1 improve the other one? T am 19 years old, § feet 6 inches tall and I weight 120 ounds. (2) My bust measures 31% Taches. How can I develop it? () How far above the knee would a girl's 2 suit come to be proper? e MADELINE. Answer.—(1) You are about 10 pounds underweight, my dear, for vour age and height. The 20.nch thigh is the normal one. It is not un- usual to have one side of the body smaller than the other. You should build up your weight by eating more nourishing foud and take special éx- ercises for the smaller side so that by vacation time your body wil be in bet- ter proportion. Your problem is to stimulate the growth of flesh on the thin leg by gentle exercises. High Kicking and leg raising to front and side will help you. (2) The breast and back strokes in swimming will help develop your bust provided you also give your body enough nourishing food and rest. Please send a stamped, self-nddressed envelope for my leaflets on “How to Gain Weight” and “Beau- ty Exervises.” Try to develop a 34- inch bust. () The length of a bath- ing suit depends somewhat on where you are going. Some bathing resorts are more conservative than others. I think that four inches above the knee is short enough in a jersey suit for a girl of your height; the dressy silk suits are usually longer. _ LOIS LEEDS. (Copyright, NOBODY’'S DARLING. Answer: The wisest person in the world cannot answer your question, because nobody knows why some girls attract men and other girls just as good-looking, just as intelligent, just as pleasant and agreeable have no allure whatever for the masculine sex. It just is, and that's all that anybody knows. And if a girl lacks this appeal there is nothing she can dé about that, either, There is no art she can acquire, no conjure she can buy, she can do is just to interest herself in something else and forget boys. and the wisest thing 1097 DOROTHY DIX. MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS “.EEDS. Reducing Bust and Back. Dear Miss Leeds.—My greatest wor- ry is overweight. The surplus fat is carried principally around my bust, waist and abdomen. I am 5 feet 2 inches tall, 26 years old and weigh 130 pounds. I teach school and also at- tend night school. I stand much of the time while teaching and walk a mile to school every morning. LAURA S. Answer.—You are only about 9 pounds over the average for your age and height, but T would advise you to try to check this tendency toward overweight before it gets the better of you. Diet and exercise, systematically followed, should rid you of the excess fat in a month's time. Cut your break- fast down to one orange, a dish of cereal and, if you desire, a cup of clear tea or coffee. For luncheon have a vegetable salad, a cheese sandwich and some fruit. For dinner you may include a cup of clear soup, a medium sized potato, one helping of lean meat, two kinds of succulent vegetables like spinach, squash, tomatoes, carrots, beets or cabbage, and for dessert have fruit gelatine, fresh berries or a sim- ple pudding. Spend at least 10 min- utes both night and morning doing trunk-twisting and leg-raising exer- cises. Please send a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope for my leaflets on “How to Lose Weight” and “Beauty Exercises.” The latter gives exercises for the bust. It is not always possible to reduce the bust, but if you lose weight all over, this part of your body will share in the reduction to some ex- tent. You should walk four miles a day and take up some sort of outdoor sport if you wish to have a supple, youthful figure. LOIS LEEDS. 77 (Copvright. 10270 - JUNE 11, 109T. LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

ART AND NEEDLE BY NITA GREY. The story of the garter goes this way: Peg declared she could not af- ford to buy those lovely creations she saw downtown, but she did love nice things. So she bought three-quarters of a yard of light green ribbon elastic, which is enough for one pair of gar- ters. “Then, Ann, T dashed to my rag bag.” Peg said. “There I found a piece of Irish lace, which had been ripped off one gown and put on an- other, until it had at last reached the underwear, but was now too flimsy, although still pretty, to stand hard wear. So 1 didn't feel extrava- gant in sewing it on the garters. I also found a scrap of rosebud trim- ming, about a quarter of a yard, and put a piece on each garter. Then with a little piece of pink silk, I would have preferred ribbon, if I had had some, I made four roses and em- broidered some yellow French knots in the center of each rose. “If you make some, Ann, any lace will do, but be sure to stretch out the elastic when sewing on the lace and put the lace on quite full. Don’t put the lace on both top and bottom of the garter because the top lace will always fall over and that won't look well.” DIARY OF A NEW FATHER BY BOB DICKSON. Friday Night. The baby’s cough is a lot better to- day, and it was a big relief to me, but Joan and the doctor are a swell pair of wet blankets, and they both said that if you are coming down with whooping cough, why your cough will get better for a day or two just before you whooj 1 said, “I'll bet the baby just had a bad cold and is getting better,” and Joan said, “You know what the doctor told us—that the cought usually seems better just before the whooping cough sets in.” I said, “Yes, and its easy to tell why he said it, too. Five dol- lars every time that bird comes in the house.” Joan said, “Oh, that's silly. You know he is a good doctor, and one of my baby books says the same thing he said.” Joan said, “If he really has whoop- ing cough, I suppose we can at least be thankful that he is such a sturdy kid, and besides, they have a serum now that makes it a lot easier.” 1 said, “‘Well, why don’t we give him some of the serum now and make it easier yet?” and she said, “I asked the doctor that, but_he said it would be in plenty of time When we found out defi- nitely whether the baby had whooping cough, and if he hasn’t, we would only be going to a needless expense by giv- ing him the serum when it wouldn't do him any good.” I said, “What has expense got to do with it if we can make whooping cough a lot lighter for the poor little kid?" and Joan said, “Well, it just proves, sweetheart, that the doctor is not trying to rob you by making a lot of unnecessary calls at $5 each. If he were just interested in the money, he could go ahead and start giving the baby serum treatments and collect for them whether they were needed or not.” 1 said, “Have you seen any whoop- ing cough signs in the neighborhood Where could the baby have caught it?” and she said, “No, I haven't. And I spoke today to the girl who takes him out in his buggy while I'm at school. She said that the only children Who have come near him are those Magers girls, who live behind us, and she doesn’t remember that they ever seemed to have colds.” 1 said, “Old Snoopy’s kids, eh?” and Joan said, “Yes,” and I said, “Well, you see that they keep away from the baby hereafter.

MISS BLUEBEARD BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR. “BUT WHY DID YOU SAY SO MUCH TO HER, DF THE STORY GET OU" Constance Anderson. better known as Jill. comes to New York with the idea of being a regular Miss Blue- beard. She vamps the son of her employer, and is fired. Then she meets a Mr. Anthony McClure, who offers her a position. John Adams, the other member of the firm, falls in love with her. but she finds him dull. Tony attracts her. but he has the same idea about women that she has about men. She gets a chance to take a position as reporter on the Bulletin and accepts. Tony is piqued because she tells him nothing about it. He sends for her and makes love to her in a light way. To her amaze- ment, Jill realizes that she has fallen in love with him in spite of the fact that she knows quite well he cares nothing for her. Her first day on the Bulletin she is sent to interview a Mrs. Wood, whose divorce seems im- minent. Mr. Wood has kidnaped their little girl. Jill discovers Tony is the man who has separated them, and later that day Tony sees Jill's article in the Bulletin. CHAPTER XXX. Tony Reaps. Dorothy was sweatly Tony swept her into his arms. she drew away from him. “Have you seen the papers?” “I have the Bulletin.” “Yes; that reporter, Miss Anderson, was here.

Her lips quivered pathetically when Tony spoke. “But why did you say so much to her, dear? “And how did the story get anyway?"” It was because I wanted to be trank with Ted. After all, he's always been sweet to me. So I told him about you in the car coming home Saturday night. Of course he hit the ceiling and said a lot of things in a very loud voice. It was warm and we had the window at the front open. Stiles, the chauffeur, must have over- heard, and Ted had just fired him for impertinence.” “I see” Tony's voice was very quiet. “Or rather I don’t exactly. If you had waited to tell him, everything could have been managed without any publicity. It was so soon. We had only just realized ourselves.” The Daily Cros (Cobyright, Protuberance. Strike, .

I never dreamed he'd do such a think as take Helen away from me.” She moved over on the davenport, and Tony gathered her up in his arms, She was so small, so frail, so unable to face the world. All the tender im- pulses that he had experiénced on Sat- urday night welled up in him again as he held her. And yet this was a bad business. What were they going to do about it? “Mate love or mother love, which is stronger?” That maddening phrase concocted by that Anderson girl kept running through his mind. ‘Which was stronger in Dorothy? As Tony saw it, Ted Wood knew Dorothy iar better than he did. He had taken the child in order to force Dorothy back to him. This thought raised a spirit of combat in Tony. And yet he was a lawyer. Dorothy could get out a writ of habeas corpus and have the child prodiced in court, but if it were known that she wanted to marry another man, nine times out of ten the judge would award the child to_the father. Dorothy was breathing quietly now, like a child. He looked down at her small face against his shoulder, and a smile parted his lips. Her lashes were drooped as if shewere very tired. From her hair the scent of violets was wafted up to him. He looked around the room. It was luxuriously fur- lnished. Eleanor Byers had told him that Dorothy had a lot of money of her own.
