Those who have not already put the house in Summer order can follow the suggestion here given and have the benefit during the coming weeks, which is a period equal to a long vacation for the average family. The changes can- not radically affect the whole house, as would be the case if done earlier. They must be centered chiefly with minor alterations here and there that will be pronounced in appearance. First of all, make the veranda, if you have one, so inviting that it becomes a spot_quickly sought whenever there is period of leisure, though it may be ort. See that the chairs on it are comforiable as well as suitable. Make a few chair seats. An applique patch- work pattern can be used, and in a few hours several chair seats made.

Put the tops onto old cushions, or cut a plain back of the foundation tex- tile, and fill each case (made by seam- back and top together) with cot- ton batting, or any cheap filling pre- ferred.

A wall pocket for magazines is made from & hemmed strip of cretonne, or plain gay-toned wash material, tacked 1o the clapboards of the house. If the strip is a yard long and eight or nine inches wide, it will hold many mag- azines and papers. Slant the strip out- ward a few inches toward the top when cutting it and tack the ends straight. This will give the needed fullness for the pockets. Tack two strips of braid down at intervals. This will hold the textile in shape and form three pockets. The . center pocket will be nearly straight. In it slip palm-leaf fans. If you have no porch the front steps can have an inviting appearance. Make the cushions of turkey red, plain or with the applique patchwork of black or green, as for the chair seats. Place two on each side of the doorway, or more if the step is extra long. For the next steps make short, narrow cushions the width of the steps, and lay them down succeeding steps on each side, al- lowing space for walking up and down the steps between these end cushions. It is but the matter of a few moments to gather these up at night or to put them in place in the morning. If they are covered with waterproof material they can be left out in rain or shine without damage. Plants on a doorstep or a veranda are a great addition to beauty and Summertime effects.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. August 2, 1754.—There was born on this date a child, in Paris, who was to play one of the most important parts in the building of the City of Wash- ington, destined to become the most beautiful capital city in the world, Jargely through his efforts in drawing the original plan. ‘The chi was Pierre Charles L'Enfant, He was the son of Plerre L’Enfant, described as “painter in ordinary to the King in his manufacture of gobelins.” The father was also a member of the French Academy of Fine Arts. ‘The young Plerre Charles, at the age of 23, was serving as a brevet lieutenant of French colonial troops. Then, in company with eight of his comrades in arms, he came to America and offered his services to the struggling colonies, which were striving to make good their independence from England and estab- lish permanently on this hemisphere the United States of America. He arrived in this country in the Summer of 1777, a few months before the famous young Marquis de Lafayette reached these shores for the same pur- pose.

He joined the Continental Army as s volunteer, and at his own expense. On April 30, 1779, he was made a captain of ~the American forces in the Corps of Engineers, his new rank dating back to February 18 of that year. L’Enfant was not only a city planner —great was his work in that line.. He was a gallant soldier, being wounded in a courageous forward movement in the assault on Savannah, Ga. He was made a prisoner by the British May 12, 1780, at the siege of Charleston, but was exchanged and rejoined the Amer- jcan Army in November of that year. It was the esteem of Gen. Washington that he won during the war, both as a fighter and as an engineer, that caused the first President to select him to draw the layout and plan for the proj new Federal City. His plan met with the hearty approval of Washington and other famous men of that day.

GOOD FOR US When a child my elders fed me castor , disease to foil; and I wished they would behead me rather than prescribe that oil. “It will do you good,” they told me, when I wept, in bitter mood, and they often used to scold me for my base ingratitude. Divers herbs they used in making an unholy, noxious tea, and when my insides were aching they would pour it into me. I'd consume some seven fingers of that flerce and fatal brew, and the memory still lingers of the rancid taste I knew. And my elders, they’'d behold me sick of soul and shedding tears. “It will do you good,” they told me, greeting all my sighs with jeers. When at school the dour old master often took & birchen staff, and he labored fast and faster, whaling me both fore and aft.

Last DOROTHY DIX’S LETTER BOX DEAR MISS DIX—Why do boys and girls, blessed with kind parents who pro- vide well for them leave home? I know a girl 1 whose father and mother lavished every luxury upon her, but who left them heartbroken to go out into the world, where she met with grievous disappointments, but was finally pre- vailed upon to return home. free, jasz-mad, modern age?—E. B. T. Is this sorry state of affairs caused by our care- Answer—Boys and girls leave home for the same reasons that young birds lJeave the nest. They have an instinctive desire to try their wings. Probably no more boys leave home now than have always left. Boys have always left home to seek their fortunes or in pursuit of adventure, and if more girls leave home than used to, it is merely because the outside world holds opportunities for them now that it did not have in their grandmother’s day. In olden times & girl had to stay at home because there was nowhere else for her to go. Home may have been as dull as dish water. In it she may have been doomed to a life of domestic slavery, without even a chance of transferring her serfdom from her parents to her husband. But she had to stay put, for the very good reason that she would starve if she got away from the paternal table. Now, when a girl with a good trade can make her living anywhere in the world, fortune beckons and adventure lures the girl away from home, just as it does the boy. And so Peggy grabs her suit case, jams on her sports hat cuts mother's apron string, bangs the door behind her and is off on her own. Of course, these young birds who hop so blithely out of the home nest and who are so confident of their ability to fly find that they don’t know as much about meronautics as they thought they did, and it isn't as easy as they expected it to be. A few break their necks, and many of them smash their wings and come limping back home, sadder and wiser birds. But they had to try out their own wings. It was a cosmic urge that they could not resist. Generally speaking, it is a good thing for them. If they succeed and de- velop the strength to stand on their own feet, well and good. They make bet- ter men and women for it. If they fail, they have at least had a valuable ex- perience, which has taught them much and makes them appreciate home more. There is no other cure so efficacious for the temperamental, discontented boys and girls who think they are heaven-ordained writers and actors and movie stars as letting them go and try it out. Most of them are glad enough to have a return ticket sent to them and to connect again with a steady job and three square meals a day. Another reason boys and girls leave home is that so many parents never realize that their children grow up and never accord them any liberty. Father and mother thinks that Mamie, at 16, should go to bed at the same hour she did when she was 8. And if John works for father, father feels that he should not expect the wages that he would pay another young chap but that he should be content with a dollar or two of spending money. To save her life, mother cannot keep 'rom nagging her children about put- ting on their rubbers and wrapping up warn, and putting them through a ques- tionnaire about every single blessed thing they do and think, until she drives them away from home in order to get a little freedom:” On the whole, this golng away from home is a good thing, for there is no truer saying thanthe old proverh: “Home-keeping youths have ever homel, There is no education equal to travel and seeing the world at first hs:xd’ (Copyright, 1930.) BEDTIME STORIES BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Jim Crow’s Return. A scapegrace, do whate'er h 3 Will Giten have a winning way. —Mother Brown. For three nights and three days Jim Crow had been a member of the flock over in the Green Forest. For three nights and three days he had tasted the joys of freedom. And now he was ready to confess that this so-called freedom did not taste as sweet as he had ex- pected. It would soon be time for the flock to seek a lonesome part of the Green Forest to go to bed for the night. Jim Crow didn't like to think of it. Never until he had left his home at Farmer Brown's had he known what INQUIRED BLACKY. fear was at night. Now, every night he was afraid. All the other Crows were afraid. “I'm not going back to the Green Forest to shiver and shake tonight,” de- clared Jim Crow. “What are you going to do?” inquired Blacky. “I'm not going to do it,” said Jim Crow, talking aloud, as it drew near to the time to seek their perches for the night. “What is it you are not going to do?” inquired his father, Blacky. “I'm going back where I was” de- clared Jim Crow. “I'm going back where I can have plenty to eat with- out working hard to get it; where I can sleep without worrying, and where I don’t have to fly away from every man I see. What is more, I'm going right this minute.” Jim Crow was as good as his word. In spite of the taunts of the other Crows, he headed straight for Farmer Brown’s cornfield, where Farmer Brown and Farmer Brown's Boy were just making ready to leave for home. “My goodness!” exclaimed Farmer Brown's Boy. “What are those Crows making such a fuss about?” He stood for a moment looking across the Green Mea- dows toward the big flock of Crows. ‘They were cawing excitedly. As he looked, one of the flock separated from the others and headed straight toward him. The other Crows started in pur- suit, then changed their minds. But the lone Crow came straight on. “I wonder if that is Jim Crow!"” ex- claimed Farmer Brown's Boy. “I be- lieve it is. I believe the rascal is com- ing home.” He gave the call that he used to use when he wanted Jim Crow to come to him. Theré was an answer- ing “Caw,” and it seemed as if the lone Crow flew faster than ever. In a few minutes he was so near that Farmer Brown’s Boy recognized him. There was no question but that it was his lost pet Crow. Straight to him flew the black bird and alighted on his right shoulder. Such a jabbering as there was then! Jim Crow, with his bill close to the right ear of Farmer Brown's Boy, jabbered Crow talk as fast as his tongue could go. Yes, sir, he did so. Now and then he would give Farmer Brown's Boy's ear a gentle tweak. “What's the matter with you, you black scamp?” cried Farmer Brown's Boy. “What are you making such a fuss about? One would think you had been rescued from something. You could have come home any time you wanted to. Besides, you needn't have gone in the first place.” To all this, Jim Crow replied with Crow talk, not one word of which could Farmer Brown's Boy understand. But then, it wasn't necessary to understand the words. Jim Crow's actions were quite as easily understood as any words and it was very clear, indeed, that Jim Crow was delighted to be at home once more. So up the Long Lane he rode on Farmer Brown’s Boy's shoulder, and across the dooryard to the back door. There stood Mother Brown. “So that nuisance is back, is he?” she exclaimed. “I hoped he had gone for ood.” Farmer Brown's Boy grinned. He | knew that Mother Brown didn't really mean that. He knew that right down in her heart she was glad to see Jim Crow back again. (Copyright, 1930.) Casserole of Beef. Place some slices of beef in a casserole dish.

Well naturaily, she was at a ded loss for werds, so she just managed to stammer out some abserd- ity or other to the genrel effect that a ferst tooth in the lower jaw indicates modesty.

MODEST Comfortable Feet. 1t your feet have been troubling you treatment. I can guarantee the most marvelous results from it, and I can guarantee also beautiful as well as com- fortable feet. ‘Try it during your holiday time, or during some warm part of the Summer when you can wear unconventional loose shoes, canvas or else sandals. Your toes must not be cramped and | the inner side of the sole of your shoes must go in a straight line. This will | help overcome bunions. | Each day soak the feet in very warm, | soapy water. Clip the nails rather | short and straight across, and clean under them carefully with the point of a file. If the big nails grow in, wedge a wisp of absorbent cotton soaked in ofl under the bad part. Cut off corns with & corn knife. But first, while the feet are wet and the skin soft, go around the edge or the cuticle part of each nail with a pointed file and loosen and raise the dead skin growing there. Clip it off with curved manicure scissors or mani- cure clippers. You cannot get a smooth | cuticle at once, it may take a week, but each day you can get off a little bit ! more. And after each attempt, rub vaseline into the nalls and all around | them and into the callous spots where there are corns or threatened sore places. At night, soak the feet for a minute in hot water, and dry and then rub them with a generous amount of olive oil. Rub thoroughly, working the oil in between the toes. If you have fallen arches, raise those bones with your fin- gers. If your big toes turn in, straight- | en them and work each toe round and round gently, so it does not stiffen where that tender joint comes. In a couple of weeks your feet will look and feel splendid. F. A. B—There would be no effect upon the color of your hair if you used & mixture of olive oil and alcohol. This would be a good combination for any scalp treatment, as the alcohol is very stimulating. If used very much alone it would be too drying to the scalp, but the oil takes care of that. Sage and sulphur will change the color very slightly, such as turning gray or white hairs to a tan shade. This mixture was used for generations, but now most Eeop]e who want to color their stray airs do it much better than the old way by other means. One way is a henna shampoo and this is as harmless as_the sage and sulphur combination. Miss L. K.—The only way you could tan your skin would be by successive sunburnings or by using one of the tan powders. Blue Eyes—Try rubbing some anti- septic pomade into your scalp the night before you shampoo and it will purify the scalp and dislodge the dandruff, so it will come away with the lather when you shampoo your head. A sulphur ointment may be used, or oil in which a little sulphur has been rubbed into it. A scalp that forms dandruff is realiy in need of intelligent care, and. if possible, it should be prescribed for by a scalp specialist; however, when that is not possible, use the ointments | ABE MARTIN SAYS Automobiles git cheaper an’ cheaper ail the time, but twine binders an’| other farm machinery—but what's the use?

His great strength and his indomitable spirit enabled him | to accomplish the most daring deeds. | Philippe and Leopold were left in the | shade. ! During the siege of Acre both Rich- | ard and Philippe fell ill of fever. But | while the French King remained pru- | dently in his quarters, the English King had himself carried on a mattress to the front of the army. Trembling with fever, Richard aimed a balista at the walls and thus killed a Saracen who was parading on the ramparts in the armor of a Christian knight. Acre fell after three years, but now Philippe resolved to return home. His health was bad.

The Lion-Hearted one in- stantly ordered it torn down. “How dare a duke assume the rights of a king?” he demanded. The breach grew. A victory at Mount Carmel opened the way to Joppa and then to Ramla, from which, on New Year day, 1192, the Crusaders set out for Jerusalem. But it being judged impracticable to besiege the city at that season, it was decided to take over and fortify Ascalon, so that the Sara- cens would not have a post in the rear from which to attack them. The soldiers grumbled. “We came not to build Ascalon, but to conquer Jerusalem,” they said. Richard shamed them by using his strength to carry stones like a com= mon laborer. But when he called upon Leopold to do the same the duke sulked. “I am not the son of a mason,” he muttered. Richard, angry, struck him & blow that sent him reeling. ‘The impediments became too great. Word came, too, that Richard was needed in England. He decided he ?ust give up the crusade and return ome. At Joppa, once more, he was attacked by 7,000 Saracens; against whom he could oppose less than 1,000 men and only 17 mounted knights. man who brought warning of the attack rushed into Richard’s tent, shouting, “O King, we are all dead men.” “Peace! Or thou diest by my hand,” thundered Richard. He swore to cut off the head of the first soldier who should try to fly. The attacks of the Saracens havi been stopped, Richard took the of- fensive. ~He dashed like lightning everywhere, swinging his ax like & demon. At nightfall the Christians could claim a tremendous victory. Not once since daybreak had Richard laid aside his sword or ax. His hand was all one blister. ‘The terror of Malek Rik—as the Sar- acens called Richard—lasted in Pales~ tine for centuries after his departure. If an Arab’s horse was frightened, the rider said, “Dost think that yonder is the Malek Rik?” Mothers frightened disobedient children by saying, “Be good, or the Malek Rik will take thee.

Naturally Lois was not entering into any sirenuous games this Summer. Walking the floor with little Ann was about as much and exciting exercise as she could indulge in. But Lois knew she did not want to be the kind of mother who gives up everything for a child. She realized that Roger had some rights. Why should ghe not go out to see him play tennis ofcasionally? Why not go out to the country club and wait Io!]‘f’hi.m as he finished his round of golf? The question of clothes was what was bothering her: “Can’t I wear some frilly clothes, Nancy?” And Nancy answered e 3 her. “This year there is such a thing as spectator clothes. They are not frilly, but they are more dressy than straight sports attire, which is still extremely smart when it is simple. “Take the kind of shoes which you should wear, for instance. I would choose white buckskin trimmed with brown, blue (dark blue) or black leather. Get the ones with leather heels, if you can. But don't make the mistake of wearing glossy kid pumps or ornately embroidered textile shoes. ‘These last may have a place in some person’s wardrobe, but not in yours. You don’t want to spend money on iads which are smart while they last, but the lasting is exceedingly short. “And when it comes to bags, I'd choose rather simple ones. This Sum- mer the large ones of textiles, often round thread linens in coarse weaves with hand embroidery, are good for shopping or for country club porches. But don't make the mistake of buying a pretty, pretty bag for Summer use in the out-of-doors. Keep them sturdy, simple, rather strong and effective in coloring.
