Sophie sat bolt upright beside her mother and listened with wide round eyes. In the first place there was a strange man in Doctor Stewart's pul- pit and he talked in a ringing resonant voice and his words rushed as if he were afraid he would not have time to say all he wanted to say. Doctor Stew- art almost drawled and did not lean over the pulpit edge with nervous hands outstretched as did this man. So this man was well worth watching. The man was telling an absorbing tale of his missionary work in a cer- tain section of the country. When he ended he eaid simply but forcibly that the people among whom he worked needed anything and everything. “Not only money,” he said, “but clothes, all the necessaries of life. Think of what I have told you and give freely!” Sophie hop-skipped alongside her mother when they reached the open “What are we goin’ to give?” she 1nquired breathlessly. Sophie’s mother laughed shortly. “I haven’t any idea,” she said. “We sent all our old clothes to the mission and I'm short of money. I need a great many things myself and if I do get any money there's that tea I must give—" Sophie’s mind wandered. Teas were vague things that required little girls to stay upstairs. “That child is posseesed,” Sophie's mother said later in the day, when for the sixth time Sophie begged to know what they could give the missionary’s people. ‘“Goodness me! As if one wasn't driven nearly crazy with hands out on every side! Don’t bother me now—oh, we'll send eomething.” It was the next day that Sophie sat thinking. Mother had said they mould send something, but mother was out for the day and nothing had been sent. Sophie slid down from the couch and wandered about, frowning. Maybe the poor people were freezing to death at that very moment. She decided that she might as well save her mother the trouble of sending things, inasmuch as her mother's con- sent had been won. Sophie proceeded to her mother’s large closet. . For a moment she stood sniffing de- lightedly the faint fragrance of violet sachet that emanated from all the “What Are We Goin' to Glve? things decorously clothed in overhang- ers and hanging in a straight row on the brass rod that ran acroes the lit- tle room. Then she set to work. She rubbed her hands delightedly over the violet velvet dress. That could go—mother had said the last time she wore it that she just hated it because Celeste had botched it, The poor folks would be glad of it even if it was botched. They could wear it to market or something. And that pink chiffon evening dress —hadn't mother remarked that she simply never would wear the thing again after what Mrs. Smith said about a woman of her age appearing in girl- ish colors? Tuere was the blue serge, too—cer- teingy mother could give that when she tad three other cloth dresses. And here were flve coats—well, this looked most like being given away, the brown, silky one, with the nice fur collar and fur cuffs. It was remark- able how easily everything com- pressed into a suitcase. There would be plenty of room for some things of iather’s for some poor, freezing man. After searching through the gar- ments in father’s closet and anxiously studying them Sophie decided on a suit father didn’t seem to care about. At any rate, he never wore it. Sophie carefully folded up the long tailed coat and the rest of the things and added them to the suitcase. Shé took a handful of socks for good meas- ure. It happened that her hands land- ed in the end of the drawer devoted to her parent’s silken footwear. Then with a relieved sigh she snapped shut the suitcase and slipped out. “From mother” Sophie told the wom- en at the church who were receiving things for the missionary box. She beamed angelically. “What a good little girl to carry this all the way!” said one of the women. That evening Sophie’s mother had an excited conversation over the tele- phone. Then she said to Sophie’s fa- ther: “It's only because the suitcase had my name on it that they knew whom to call up, \cur dress sult—.mll my new marten best gowns—why, it’s perfectly dread- ful!” Sophie’s father chuckled. He medi- tated on the dress suit. “I almost wish,” he said, daringly, “that there hadn’t been any name on the suitcase, Sophie’s heart is in the right place, anyway."—Chicggo Daily News. {CORD To HOLD IN KMONO Device That Very Properly May Be Sald te Fill a Long-Felt Want. The long kimono seems to have been permanently adopted from Ja- pan; it is so delightful a garment to slip on in a hurry. There is no ad- justment, no hooking, no buttoning. But haven't there been times when you've longed for a girdle of some sort to confine its flowing folds to the fig- ure? It gets so in the way at times! Yet how ridiculous any girdle would look upon it but the wide obi sash, which, of course, is a part of the real Japanese garment. And the obi, while appropriate and beautiful, is too elab- orate and needs too much adjusting for people in a hurry. But if girdles are out of the question cords are not’ and an ingenious wo- man recently took to making cords for her kimonos, says the New York Press. The effect reminds one some- what of the flowing, cordbound gowns worn in the middle ages. The cord is brought from the back around to the front or side front, and is loosely knotted. To make the cord, procure about eight yards of common cotton cording and cover it with silk the color of the kimono. To do this, make a silk tub- ing of bias strips and thread the cord through it with a bodkin, or join the flat bias strips together, turn the edges in well, place the cording in the cen- ter and whip-stitch the silk about the cord. The eight yards of cording should be cut into three pieces. After they are covered with the silk, braid the three pieces into one. This will form a plait. Place a tassel on each end to cover the fastening of the ends. Attach the center of the cord to the center back of the kimono, and it is ready to knot about the waist. COMBINATION VASE Made of glass with glass arms and four little glass baskets suspended this is an attractive receptacle for flowers and bonbons or long and short items combined. Styles Are Straight. The line of the fashionable garment 1s loose, also, seeming hardly to touch the body. When it becomes necessary to break the long line of the garment the break is placed where the natural break of the body occurs, the knees, hips, el- bows, so that the garment becomes a logical arrangement rather than a hit or miss cutting up of whole cloth, Most garments are now manipu- lated from big squares, thus giving the beauty of the fabric and of the design as much opportunity as possi- ble. Herein lies the persistence of the kimono sleeve, the blouse without a shoulder seam for which artists hlvl always contended. When Sarah Scored.
