WOMAN'’S PAGE. Wool ‘ BY MARY Today we have a most interesting sort of jersey dress to talk about. In our cooler Summer climates thin ‘wool jersey is an admirable material to choose for kockabout dresses—those ‘useful dresses we can put on when we get up in the morning and wear all day. Jersey takes a lot of punishment. It comes up smiling after hard wear. All it needs is pressing occasionally to keep in condition. The design shown teday comes from BEDTIME STORIE my part I am glad we are going toJ Yap Yap Gives Advice. Remember that it isn't nice Until you're “asked to give advice. —Old Mother Nature. Yap Yap, the Prairie-dog, wasn’t al- together pleased that a young couple had started a home about as close to his own home as they very well could ‘without interfering. You know he lived on the edge of Prairie-dog Town and his home was a little apart from the others. He liked it that way. Mrs. Yap Yap would have preferred to live right in town, and they probably would have made their home there when they started housgkeeping had there been any place there for a new home. They could have had their choice of two or three empty homes, but Mrs. Yap Y had wanted a new home. You wi ACasy = *MY NAME IS YAP YAP,” SAID HE. hardly blame her for that. And so they had made it on the edge of the town to Yap Yap's great satisfaction. Now the town was growing in that direction, in proof of which was thi§ new home Just started. “I don’t see why they wanted to crowd in so close when they had all outdoors in which to locate,” grumbled Yap Yap. “ “I think they showed excellent judg- ment,” declared Mrs. Yap Yap. “They seem like a nice young coudle and for THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE When you study this smart model, Jou'll see it's really very slenderizing. It’s full of charm and so thoroughly ‘wearable. To be certain, it has the best known slimming features—the deep V-front that reaches to the waistline.

Embroidery for Blouse ming. I think, however, that the finish given by using wool embroidery is well worth the time it takes. ‘The embroidery is done with two or three shades of worsted. There are triangles of cross-stitch, as you will see from the detailed sketch. These are held together by a long running stitch at each side in a darker color. - tween the two edges are crosswise stitches of the third shade, to bring the whole design into harmony. On a dress cr blouse of beige jerséy the cross-stitch might be done in light brown, the side running stitches in dark brown and the crosswise stitches in orange. Three shades of blue might be used on a blue dress; two shades of green with black on a green dress. . Cucumber Pudding. Cut six cucumbers fine with a me- dium-sized onion. Stew them in a little water for 15 minutes, Prepare a rich poultry dressing. Pour off all the water from the cucumbers, add the dressing and a tablespoonful of butter. Bake in a deep casscrole for 20 minutes. Salmon Mold. Soften some gelatin in cold water, melt over steam and combine with salad dressing. Add some salmon, turn into a ring mold and chill. .Unmold onto lettuce leaves and fill the center with a vegetable salad. Garnish with hard- cooked eggs. By Thornton W. Burgess. have some one to talk to without hav- ing to go visiting. It will be good to be able to sit on our own doorstep and call across to a neighbor.” 3 “Some folks do like to gossip,” mum- bled Yap Yap. “They might have lo- cated a little farther away and still been neighbors. They look pretty young and inexperienced to me. I think I'll 80 over and see if I can help them with a bit of advice.” ““You better take some advice your- self and that is don’t meddle in other people’s affairs,” retorted Mrs. Yap Yap sharply. “There is nothing worse than & meddlesome neighbor.” Yap Yap knew that this was true and for a time he was satisfied to sit on his doorstep and watch the earth come pouring out from that new home. Then curlosity got the better of him and he went over to the new house. “My name is Yap Yap,” said he, as the head of the new home poked hfs head out for some fresh air. “Pleased to meet you. Stubtail. T lost the end of my tail in an accident when I was a little fellow,” replied the other. “How are you getting along with the new home?” inquired Yap Yap. “Fine,” replied Stubtail. “It is easier rigging here than I feared it would be.” Yap Yap looked down the hole with & critical air. “It scems to me that you would do better if you slanted that hall a little more,” he said. Stubtail said nothing and Yap Yap continued. “Of ccurse, I don't know how deep you intend to go before branching off, but if you will take my advice you will be in no hurry to make your turn to reach the bedroom. There is nothing like a long deep hall to discourage unwanted visitors. I see you have made a little landing where you can turn around without going clear to the bottom. down if I had been in your place. Don’t forget a ccuple of storage rooms. They come in very handy. I suppose this is the first house you ever have made.” “Yes,” replied Stubtail rather short- 1y, but I have been in a good many and Mrs. Stubtail and I have our own ideas “Of course.

I certainly- would slnntl this hall a little more. Well, come over | and see us when you have a chance. Be neighborly.” Yap Yap returned to his own home and Stubtail was joined by Mrs. Stub- tail. “What did he want?” shé asked. “To satisfy his curiosity and give us | something that wasn’t asked for and not wanted,” replied Stubtail rather crossly. > it was that?” inquired Mrs. Stub- “Advice,” retorted Stubtail, and went back to work.

NANCY PAGE Supper on Porch Has Magic Summer Sound BY FLORENCE LA GANKE. The day had been hot, stifiingly so. Dinner had been served in the dining room, which seemed close and muggy. Appetites flagged and most of the food went to waste, It was after an experience like this that Lois decided to serve suppers on the porch on days that were hot. She planned to use a checked tablecloth, inexpensive but gay { EGGS AU GRATIN - }dlshes, tumblers in place of goblets and a low centerpiece which would not be blown over by a passing breeze nor a jolt of the table. She had learned that a person felt better after eating a meal, even on a | hot day, if there was cne hot dish on | the menu. It might be nothing but the beverage or it might be a soup or even a main dish. When it was a main dish she liked to serve it in the dish in which it was cooked, for then the heat was | held until the plate was served. Here is a successful menu of hers: Hard-cooked Eggs au Gratin. Melba Toast. Stuffed Tomato Salad. Red Raspberries with Cream. Crinkle-edged Cookies. Iced Coffee. ‘The eggs au gratin were made by hard ccoked eggs, shelling them and slicing_them. They were added to a rich white sauce, in which was melted cheese and chopped pimiento. Day-old bread, freshly crumbled and buttered, covered the top. The peeled, chilled and hollowed tomatoes were filled with cottage cheese, cucumbers and chives. The cookies were rich sugar ones, cut with a scalloped-edged cutte: “] eat it when traveling’’ “Traveling has its discome forts and dangers, but most of the trouble comes from eating wrong foods.

Business Experience. “I've tried for a few weeks to secure employment,” writes a reader, “and in every instance I have been turned down because I lack experience. some way a woman can gain enough business experience to earn a living? I know of other women who have the some problem as I, and it is not an easy one.” Every woman uninitiated into the business world faces the same dilemm: when she seeks her first “work for a living.” ~ Unequipped with experience, she finds it extremely difficult to obtain any but menial positions. Often such a woman is discouraged, too discouraged to seek a way out of her predicament. Instead of advising such a woman pointlessly to “get experience” it is advisable to suggest to her that she question others as to how they gained their experience. In an office she will learn that one woman was trained at a business school, and secured her first Job through the school. Another began at filing until she became familiar with business records and was installed in a clerkship. In other words, thefe are only two means of acquiring experience. One is to accept a subordinate position and learn slowly. The other way is to acquire training in a class room that will supplant the need for experience. In some instances the latter way is not feasible. In any cas> the woman prepared to do a certain job, regardless of what it may be, is better situated to obtain employment than the woman who will do anything, but knows how to do nothing. Selling experience is to be had in de- partment stores. Any woman of nor- mal intelligence and neat address can secure a clerk’s job in a store. It is a good introduction to salesmanship. It may lead to a caregr within the store or outside in other selling capacities. girls in stores have become cashiers, and even accountants, when training supplemented their experience.

You cannot give another an ides. The best you can do is tell him some- thing that he can understand in terms of what he already knows. What a remn already knows goes in psycho- ogical circles by the term “appercep- ticn mass.’ by their very nature Ideas are changeable somethings. They grow out of experience. For that reason no cne really gets an idea “across” to an- | other. ‘The apperception mass plays still an- otier thty part in everydey thinking. It's the is of every interest. You may say, if you piease, that people are interested in new things. They are interested onl of looking at old things. 'y _are terested in finding that their old ideas are not the last word in ideas. On the intellectual level, your apper- ception mass is your real self.
