Clever Beach Wrap of Toweling BY MARY cleverest sort of beach have seen this Summer was a strip of striped bath towel- t three vards long. And the who showed it to me THIS BEACH ROBE, MADE OF A| RUG TO SPREAD ON THE SAND. to offer each of her guests when they eame to visit at her cottage by the sea. The advantage of these.robes is that | they are quite as appropriate for the men of the family as the women. One really needs little more than the diagram to show how the robe is made. The length of the material depends on MARSHALL. the height of the individual who is to wear it and the desired length of the lower hem. The opening for the head is about nine inches long and consists of a simple slit along which a hem is turned in the toweling. A strip of toweling i8 cut from one side to make the tie belt, or you may use & bathrobe cord. A robe of this sort may be used going to the surf and coming from it, and when one stops to lounge or bask in the sunshine after the bath it may be spread out to form a rug. Incidentally, both robes of this sort are used for every-day bathrobes at home, and many of the college boys and rru are planning to use them in the dormitories next Autumn. (Copyright, 1930.)

To this day, he went on to report, he seems immune to iv, isoning. m after this B. V. B. wrote from Massachusetts that neither common poi- son ivy nor poison sumac nor poison elder poisons him any more than clover grass. Once as a boy he saw a farmer's cattle apparently browsing on poison ivy and the farmer assured him it did not hurt cattle and also that if he would chew & leaf now and then he, too, would be immune against poisoning. So he tried it, and he has continued through- out life chewing one of two of the ten- der young ivy leaves in the Spring each season and remaining quite immune. Next H. M. wrote from Nebraska that when he was a lad in his teens (he is now 73) back in New York State where poison ivy abounds along the store wall fences it made his life miserable. But |since one of his neighbors told him | 'to do as the neighbor’s doctor had ad- vised the neighbor to do, nibble a ten- | der young poison ivy leaf every morn- ing for several (of course it was a very particular number of mornings, but as Amos says, I ain't a-goin’ to do it), H. M. has never been poisoned, and that is 30 years of immunity for him. He still eats a leaf of poison ivy now and then when he happens to come upon some in his work. Before the reader decides to try this truly heroic means of gaining the cov- eted immunity I warn him that he does 80 entirely upon his own initiative and responsibility, and I shall have neither sympathy nor surcease to offer in the event that his little experiment proves painful. Several correspondents in re- cent years have reported that they suf- fered severe polsoning when they tried eating poison ivy leaves or berries. On the other hand, the majority who have reported their experience declare that they suffered no unpleasant effects and believe they have gained immunity by the practice. In several instances of poisoning re- ported to me the correspondents naively admitted they had eaten several leaves. If I were going to try this experiment I should proceed with caution. For the first step I should pinch off a wee speck of a young leaf the size of the head of a pin, not a coupling pin, but a little straight wire pin such as you have to have to see the neighbor's kids’ circus. I should pinch it off, moreover, with tweezers or something, or wear rubber gloves to protect my skin from other contact with the ivy. Then I should carry the bit of leaf in my mouth a minute by watch and no longer. If no unpleasant consequences ensued I should have another try at it three days later, this time, say, half a very small leaf. If this proved comfortable, at the end of the week I should chew one entire leaf. Then I should call it a season, and con- tent myself to worry along till the fol- lowing Autumn or Spring for another course of treatment. (Copyright, 1930.) Small Chicken Pie_l.

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. Peter Junior was chattering away like & magpie. He tried to use all the words he heard the grown-ups say. Nancy found that he was pitching his voice high, as do so many small chil- dren. She tried keeping her voice low in all her talks with him. She used to get him to imitate her as she would say_"00-00-00.” Then she found that he was saying “Honh” or “Huh” after every sentence e 2 or remark addressed to him. At first she would repeat what she had just said. That merely strengthened little mannerism of “‘Huh.” Then she would say to him, “Don't say ‘hul’,” say “beg pardon.” That did not WASHIN TULSDAY. DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX EAR MISS DIX—I am writing to you in the hope that other men will read this and profit by my experience. Here is my story: 1 beclmtpl uainted with a married woman through business dealings and we got to be friends. She told me how her husband mistreated her and didn't provide for her, and how different he was from me, and I felt sorry for her, and flattered, and fell in love with her. She sued for divorce and her husband seemed glad to give it to her. He said she had a bad temper and had never made a home for him, and wasted all he made and ran around with other men, but of course I didn't believe it. 1 was married to a woman who had always been a good wife to me. She and unselfish and had made me a fine home. And I had lovely children. ut I was so infatuated with this woman that I thought I was tired of my wife and begged her to give me a divorce. She refused for a long time, but finally she told me that she had held she was so humiliated at the life I was living that she had determined to let me go. lAs soon as I got the divorce we were married, but we hadn’t been married any time before she changed completely. She had always had a sweet disposition, never showed any signs of a temper and everything I said and did was all right, so I thought life with her would be perfect. But now she is a perfect shrew and has never a pleasant word for me. I have given her 15-year-old girl advantages I never gave my own daugh- ter, and now this child talks to me as if I was a dog. My wife goes out at night to parties and dances with other men and when I object to it she says: ““Well, you've gota lot of rcom to say anything to me after the way you cheated on your wife.” I told her I didn't believe she cared anything for me, only for what I could give her and she replied: “Well, it | certainly has taken you a long time to find that out and what are you going to do about it? I won't be as easy to get rid of as your first wife.” | And there I am, Miss Dix, and I'd crawl on my knees and hands back | to my first wife and beg her to forgive me and take me back if only I could | get away from this woman. Why is it that it takes an awful jolt to make | us find out what a mistake we are making, and we can't see it until it is too late? Why do we think that we are going to escape the fate of others? I am 40 years old and the thought of having to live with this other woman the balance of my life drives me mad. What can I do? A MISERABLE SINNER. Answer: I fear that you will have to bear the fate that you have brought upon youreelf, but, like you, I hope that your sufferings will be a warning to some other middle-aged man who s thinking of swapping off a faithful old wife for a new one. For your experience is not an uncommon ong. 1 get innumerable letters from men who tel the same tale. They are married to good women with whom they have no real fault to find. Wives who have fought the hard battle of the poor young couple with them, shoulder to shoulder. Wives whom they know to be faithful and devoted and loyal and possessed of every good quality. But the fight is over. They have got on easy street and there is nothing in their dafl{ lives to keep them pepped up and full of interest. So life begins to be dull and monotonous. Their wives take them for granted, and they begin to be restless and to sigh for a little advenfture. Then comes along a clever and conscienceless woman who casts an eve over their bank account and begins to think that it is easier to work a bored, middle-aged man than it is to work a typewriter or work behind a counter. Trading in cld wives for new is generally a losing bargain for the men. DOROTHY DIX.
