And the casino jacket is so named because it is a con- venient little wrap to wear over a sleeveless gown in the Casino at Monte Carlo and other French resorts. But to Americans who neither drink cocktails nor frequent casinos it has still many advantages. ‘The sketch shows one of Premet’s new casino ensembles made with a white sleeveless blouse with a 'long- sleeved jacket of the same soft black lace used for the frock. In some of the shops here one may buy separate lace Jackets of this sort, sometimes of lace combined with chiffon, which may ef- fectively ‘be combined with frocks made of chiffon to match. « This week's circular shows how to make an underarm bag of silk or ribbon with a patent fastener at the top.

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES ELEONORA. BY EDGAR ALLAN POE. (Edgar Allan Poe, 1809-1 merican poet, and siory write; e Raven, e Gold Bus,” ned Letter.’ sher,” etc.) I am come of a race noted for vigor f fancy and ardor of passion. Men ave called me mad, but the question is not yet settled whether madness is or #s not the loftiest intelligence, whether much that is glorious, whether all that 4s profound, does not spring from dis- ease of thought, from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect. They who dream by day are aware of many things which escape those who dream only by night. We will say, then, that I am mad: I grnnt. at least, that there are two dis- inct conditions of my mental existence. She whom I loved in youth, and of fwhom I now calmly and distinctly pen these remembrances, was the sole daughter of the only sister of my mother long departed. Eleonora was the name of my cousin. We had always dwelt together, beneath a tropical sun, in the Valley of the Many-colored Grass. No unguided footstep ever came upon $hat vale, for it lay far away up among & range of giant hills that hung beetling sbout it, shutting out' the sunlight from fts sweet recesses. No path was trodden 4n its vicinity, and to reach our happy home there was need of putting back with force the foliage of many thou- Bands of forest trees and of to death the glories of many millions of fragrant flowers. Thus it was that we lived all alone, knowing nothing of the world outside the valley—I and my fousin and her mother. Hand in hand about this valley, for A5 years, I roamed with Eleonora before Jove entered within our hearts. It was one evening at the close of the third Justrum of her life, and of the fourth of a{n own, t;m webeuz locked in each er's embrace, beneath the serpent- ke- trees, and looked down within the fwaters of the river at our images there- in, that sweet day, and our words even pon the morrow were tremulous and few. We had discovered love, and we felt that he had enkindled within us fiiery souls of our forefathers. The pas- sions which had for centuries distin- guished our race came thronging with the fancies for which they had been equally noted, and together breathed & delirious bliss over the Valley of the M:“y"'fl"“ Grass. change fell upon all things. Btrange, brilliant flowers, star-shaped, burst upon the trees where no flowers had been known before. The tints of the green carpet deepened, and when, one by one, the white daisies shrank rang up in place of them 10 of the ruby-red asphodel. And life arose in our paths, for the tall flamingo, hitherto unseen, with all gay, lowing birds, flaunted his scarlet plum- ge_before us. The loveliness of mal - iden, lartless and innocent as the briet life | she had led among the flowers. No | utle the fervor of love which nimated her heart, and she examined with me its inmost recesses as we walk- ed ther in that valley. | At length, having spoken one %ly. in upon this heme, inf ving it into all our con- verse, as, in the songs of the bard of Schiraz, the same images are found oc- curring again and again. She had seen that the finger of death ‘was upon her bosom—that she had been made perfect in loveliness only to die. She grieved to think that, having tombedherlnt.hev-fle'yolmunn{ Colored Grass, I would quit forever iis happy recesses, transferring the love which now was s0 passionately her own maiden of the outer and every- day world. Then and there I threw myself hur- riedly at the feet of Eleonora, and of- fered up & vow herself and to 0. Heaven_that I would never bind and Societys Leaders the World over secure that bewitching, attractive touch to complexion thru % as _an ) in marriage to any daughter of Earth— that I would in no manner prove un- ot | faithful to her dear memory, or to the memory of the devout affection with which she had blessed me. And I called the Mighty Ruler of the Universe to witgess the plous solemnity of my vow. And the curse which I invoke of Him, and of her a saint in Elysium, should I frove traitorous to that promise, in- volved a penalty the exceeding great horror of which will not permit me to record it-here. And the bright eyes of Eleonora grew brighter at my words, and she sighed as if a deadly burden had been taken fom her-breast; and she trembled and very bitterly wept, but she made ac- ceptance of the vow (for what was she but a child?) and it made easy for her the bed of her death. And she said to me, not many days afterward, tran- quilly dying, that, because of what I had done for the comfort of her spirit, she womh o;erums i?t that spirit when de and, if so it were per- mitted her, return to me visibly in the watches of the night, but, if this thing were indeed- beyond the power of the souls in Paradise, that she would at least give me {r;?’\::nz lndlufl?:u "?: her ence; sig] upon me evuunm:.windx. or filling the air which I breathed with perfume from the cen- sers of the angels. With these words on her lips she yielded up her inuno- cent life, putting an end to the first 'h of my own. ep%cha vv(dy left in my heart refused to be filled. I longed for the love which had before filled it to overflow- ing. At length the valley pained me through its memories of Eleonora, and I left it forever for the vanities and turbulent triumphs of the world. I found myself within & strange city, where all things might have served to blot from recollection the sweet dreams I had dreamed so long in the Valley of the Many-Colored Grass.

St. Francis was called the first modern, be- cause he climbed a hill to look at a view. Practical people took no time to look at views, Poets wrote only of hu- man passions; painters never painted landscapes, and never gave.landscapes any! but a subordinate place in their canvases. Wildflowers were “vile, unuseful weeds.” Hares and little foxes existed to be harried down and mur- dered for sport; cruel falcons were loved, and little larks were hunted. Virgil thought the ocean a dismal place, full of monsters; the King of Portugal, a practical man, refused to help Co- lumbus. It was & man who understood the mariner’s company and believed the world was round that made the ocean safe for sailors and poets. And so, each year, the sap, far heavier than water, rises in the trees, a hundred feet, in defiance of gravity, bringing green beauty to tipmost branches—and still the practical people do not have enough curiosity to want to know how this can be so. The poets are angry that you strip the mystery from Na- ture’s body. Does it strike no practical person as important to know why the maple sugar gatherers tap their trees in February, when the ground is still frozen six inches deep on Vermont hills and water pipes are bursting? Does it strike no poet ‘as beautiful that today, as you walk down a city street, 60 feet over- head the elms are beginning to show a greeny gold, while the lawns are still dingy on the ground? Neither osmotic pressure in the roots, nor capillarity in the stems, nor both together, can, ac- cording to the laws of physics, 1 column of water to the top of a Sequoia gigantea.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. mtmrflmcymmldenmujn. It has n a constant joy all through the Winter. She planned to make a fresh one this year, and she started with the Easter roses which came from Peter. She had learned one thing, how- ever, from last year’s experiences and that was this—the rose ‘petals should lie exposed to air for 24 hours before she put them in crock. Then a mere sprinkle of salt over a layer only when it was a inch thick. Too much salt draws out water and makes the mass soggy and Soppy. Toss the petals lightly on a table in a cool, airy place and let them lie until the dew has evaporated. put them in a glass jar, sprinkling salt over half-inch layers of the petals.’ This can be added to from one day until another, until enough flowers for -the purpose have been gathered, letting them stand in the jar for 10 days after the last are put in and stirring the whole every morning. Have ready one-quarter ounce mace and one-half ounce allspice and cloves, all coarsely ground; a graded nut- meg, one-half ounce cinnamon broken in bits, one pound powdered orris root and one-quarter pound dried lavender flowers. Mix these together in a bowl fill the rose jar with alternate layer of the “stock” and the mixture of spices, A few drops each of several essential oils (rose, geranium, bitter al- monds and orange flower are good) should be dropped upon the layers as you progress and over the whole pour one wng: ::l your favorite toilet water TWOOI GRAPEFRUIT TREE-RIPENED WHOLESOME DELICIOUS Wholesale Distributors N W% HEITMULLER CO., Street N.W.

KEEPING MENTALLY FIT BY JOSEPH JASTROW. Sleep Walking.

I wish I could say the same of my husband. We have two other children, both boys, and younger, and they sleep 80 doundly you couldnt ser hem oeany 1 & B¢ DO XIOUS MOTHER. ‘What this mother is anxious to know is whether this tendency to walking in sleep is apt to grow, whether you can prevent it, whether it is a danger sign of other mervous trouble ahead, and other practical questions, She is not irterested (and properly so0), as psy- chologists are, in the nature of som- nambulism, but in protecting the health of her daughter. Now it may be that some one has studied sleepwalking from this point of view and hex the facts to answer these querles; I have been able to find very little on the subject. ‘There are, however, cases enough to show that sleepwalking may be just an episode, but that at times it becomes a habit. There are even cases in which the sleepwalker, aware of the tendency, locked the door and hid the key; but the sleepwalking self found the keys and let herself out. There are stories of sleepwalkers, who, under the same circumstances, dropped the key in a basin of cold water, counting on the shock to the hands to wake them up. Among cases that I have observed is that of a young girl who kept house for her father while the mother was away on & visit, and who after wash- ing the dishes late at-night to have all in good order for her mother’s return the next day was found by her father washing those same dishes again in her sleep. That was about the only com- plete bit of sleepwalking that she could recall, though she had some evidence that she had other lighter attacks. I have another case in which the somnambulist asked her roommate to get up and light the lamp (an oil lamp in a farmhouse). As it was known that she often talked in her sleep, no attention was paid to it. So the som- nambulist got up and lit the lamp her- self, went back to bed and to sleep, quite unconscious of the whole episode. ‘We know that sleepwalking is acting the the bed. The sleepwalker has something on her mind and in obeying that quest gets control of the walking muscles and goes on her errand, but without awaking. I say “her” advisedly, because the sleepwalker is almost always & young girl. The swmptom is a sign of hysteria and indicates a tendency to trance or lapse of consciousness. It is only when these attacks are frequent and of long duration that they threaten mental health; most sleepwalkers lose the habit as they reach years of maturity. So I add a case of a woman in perfect health, the mother of two children equally ro- bust, who after 20 years of such inci- dents still walks a little now and then. She laughs about it; so does her hus- ba ind. . On the whole, we don’t know as much as we should about this tendency in its relation to health and nervous- ness, So it is well to rei it as nof very significant except when accompa- nied by other quite marked signs . of nervous rder.

Not only for the charm of a pleasant smile—but also because. decayed teeth and irritated gums can often destroy the radiant beauty of health. To be safe, guard The Danger Line—where teeth and gums meet. In its tiny V-shaped crevices acids form that cause the most treacherous form of tooth decay and gum irritation. No tooth-brush can reach into all these crevices to rub the acids away. But Squibb’s Dental Cream, made with more than 50% Squibb’s Milk of Magnesia, effectively neutralizes them.

When I asked one of them why, she said: “I didn’t try those new brands merely out of curiosity. I tried each new brand because I was always wanting to buy a loaf that had the texture and flavor of home-baked bread. “Several brands were almost home-like. “But they didn’t last. As soon as they be- came fairly popular their quality began to fall off. That’s why many housewives were forever trying the newest brand. “It was different with Bond Bread. From the day the first loaf was sold in this town, there hasn’t been any change. It has the same home-like look about it, the same home-like texture, and the same home-like flavor.
