To tell the truth Nancy scarcely dared to call her son a baby any more since he was just over 2. But she still cuddled him and enjoyed his young boyishness. He was all boy, there was no doubt about that. Perhaps that was why Frank was such a good companion. Frank was out in the sunshine for hours at a time. His mother kept him in a sun suit most of the day. The suit had small knitted jersey shorts and crossed straps, which acted quite like suspend- ers. He was getting a good coat of tan and a health insurance for the sun- less days of the coming Winter. Nancy felt that her son should be | protected somewhat, and kept him out of the sun at the middle of the day. She saw to it, also, that her son wore | a hat, which shaded his head and the back of his neck. Frank was usually & good-natured chap of 4. But one morning he started in being fretful. He kept it up nearly all day. His mother wondered what was the matter. She watched his diet, kept him in the house part of the day, gave him a sponge bath before she put him to bed. He seemed quite LA SO good-natured. Next morning as soon as he was dressed the performance was repeated. She could not understand After three days she discovered he objected to wearing his shoes. ‘Then she found that hic feet were cramped into the shoes, which he had outgrown. An ingrowing toenail was in bad shape. Forthwith she bought new shoes, treated the infected toe, and he was her sunny boy again. She cautioned Nancy to watch Re- peter’s shoes.

CRAIG. July 11, 1861.—The Confederate forces have “drawn in their pickets to the immediate vicinity of Fairfax Court House, thus falling back about two or three miles,” says a special message recetved in Washington this morning. The same report says the Confederates have struck their tents at Fairfax Court House, “evidently in preparation for a movement of all their troops in that immediate vicinity.” A correspondent of The Evening Star adds this information from nearby Falls Church, Va.: “All this evidently means that they (the Confederates) have gotten wind of the story of the purpose of Gen. McDowell to advance shortly on their position there in over- whelming force.” The correspongdent thinks the Con- | federates are getting ready to “back out” of this position, unless they tend “to advance in this direction™ toward Washington. “They certainly received a reinforce- ment of heavy artillery at Fairfax Court House yesterday,” concludes the somewhat bewildered chronicler of' events. The members of the New York 7ist Regiment were in high glee this fore- noon at the prospect of being sent out of the city. The men received infor- mation and rumors which led them to believe that the regiment has been or- dered to leave Washington within 24 hours by way of Alexandria for Fair- fax Court House, and they were happy at the prospect not only of a change in scenery, but of a “brush” with the Confederates as they express it. The ‘War Department is endeavoring to keep all_movements secret. The 71st New York is looked upon generally as being virtually as effi- cient as many of the regular United States regiments. The regiment's dis- cipline and training for some time has been the same as the Regular Army, but the men lack experience under fi In the anchor shop of the Washin, ton Navy Yard today workmen are busily engaged under the master work- men, John Tucker, in_making anchors for the sloop-of-war Pensacola, which is lving in dock here having her en- gines installed.

Allow one large green pepper for each person to be served. Cut a slice from the top and remove the seeds and then place in cool water until needed. Now mince fine four onions and then cook until tender but not brown in four tablespoonfuls of short- ening. Place in a bowl and add two ounces of bacon diced and cooked to a light brown, one and one-half cup- fuls of fine bread crumbs, two tea- spoonfuls of salt, one teaspoonful of paprika, half a teaspoonful of thyme, three-fourths cupful of milk and one well beaten egg. Mix and then fill into six large peppers. Place in & greased baking pan and add half a cupful of water. Bake for 45 minutes in a moderate oven. Five minutes be- fore removing from the oven place a strip of bacon over each pepper. When nicely browned, serve.

C, FRIDAY, JULY 11, Straight Talks to Women About Money BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN Short Vacations, Long Bills. ‘The great American week end is the frequent cause of curtailed vacations, and you need not be an especially ex- pert economist to place your probing finger on the reason. The expense of a week end may be roughly divided up into these parts: Railroad fares, board and lodging, en- tertainment and supplies. Frequently a woman decides on a week end jaunt to some far-off point, and pays enough railroad fare alone to afford her a pleasant time at home. Board and lodging over a week end are sometimes as much as an entire week in the country would cost one. ‘The reason is obvious. There is a greater demand for accommodations over week ends than during the week. Prices ascend as a result.

Because one must dress up in most places Saturday nigh¢ and Sunday, a week’s wardrobe may be_requirad for a single week end. We have, of course, gone to an ex- treme here, and showed the situation at its worst for the week ender. It wouid be enlightening, however, for many women to compare the costs of a few week ends with the cost of a real vacation. The costs are likely to be about the same, and the benefits and enjoyments are admittedly more numerous in the continued stay, when one avoids crowd- ed trains, cramped accommodations and exorbitant rates.

I insist that if ony in comic strips that a coller button disappeers off the face of the erth as | though by magic, he sed. G, pop, do you meen if you dident ;\elzd it, that would make it & joke?

I sed, and he sed, A private re son of my own, you wouldent under- stand if I told you. Proberly just being a excuse out of it, and he started to feel under the bed, looking madder and madder, me say- ing, G, pop, it looks as if it mite reely be a joke after all, dont it? No, confound it, theres no joke about it and if I heer another werd on the subjeck the joke will be on you, bleeve me, pop sed.

Sydney Smith Greatest Privilege His Day Afforded an Englishman. BY J. P. GLASS. “PERSONS AT HIS TABLE SAT IN JOLLY ADMIRATION AS HE JESTED.” ‘To dine with the Rev. Sydney Smith | was the greatest privilege an English- man could enjoy until his death in 1845. It was not that the food was surpassingly good, but it was flavored | with the best conversation of that day. The Rev. Sydney was himself reck- oned the greatest master of ridicule since the celebrated Dean Swift. Persons at his table sat in jolly ad- miration as he jested like this: “Poverty is no disgrate to a man, but it is confoundedly inconvenient. “I believe «the English are the most disagreeable people under the sun. I have often seen a French soubrette with far better manners than an English duchess, There are no limits to Lord Macau- ley’s knowledge. He is like a book in breeches. “It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch under- standing. “When T have the gout I feel as| if I was walking on my eyeballs. | “I think breakfasts are so pleasant because no one is_concelted before 1 | o'clock.

When our friend is delivered of a couplet, with infinite pain and labor, he takes to his bed, has the knocker tied down and expects his friends to call and make inquiries. ‘The answer at the door invariably is, ‘Mr. and his little couplet » as well as can be expected,’ when ¢ produces an Alexandrine, he keeps . bed a day longer.” Of Daniel O'Connell, he said, “The only way to deal with such a man is to hang him up and erect a statue to him under his gallows.” ‘Though Smith - mingled in a dissi- pated fashionable soclety, and enjoyed the pleasures of living, his piety was great. He died universally mourned. (Copyright, 1930.) Brown Bread Triangles. 24 slices thinly cut brown bread. 12 cup soft butter. 2 tablespoons chopped stuffed olives, 14 cup salad dressing.
