NEW FRICTION THIS PATTERN SERVICE 'MEANS CLEAN HANDS AND A SWEET TEMPER .Mind Cramp By RUTH CAMERON. If you keep any part of your body, such as your arm, in some cramped position for a long time you will find it difficult to move it from that position. Now it seems to me that the same thing is true of the mind. Cramp the mind in some position for a long time, then remove the pressure, and you will probably find that the power to moveé the mind back tov its normal trend is weakened or even gone—at least temporarily. 1 am thinking especially of the mind cramp of economy. Who does not know some of these unfortunate people who have been ferced by circumstances to practice a cruelly strict economy and Whose minds have become so rigidly set in that direction that even when the pressure passes they cannot relax? ] was talking with a woman of this fype the other day. Someore spoke about a doctor’s bill. A worried look came into her face. “Aren’t doctors’ bills terrible?” she said. “I have one coming on the first of the month and it worries the life out of me.” Now.1 happen to know that the size of her husband's irncome is such that she has.absolutely no reason to worry about doctors’ bills. Her anxiety is simply a reflex of the days when such extras painfully upset the délicate baldnce that then existed between income and outgo. Those days-have long since passed, and yet she can't shake off her anxiety over such expenses. Another woman, a widow, for years practised the most rigid econ- in order to educate her daughter. The daughter has now married Dyeing the hair, painting the cheeks and dressing in a more youthful manner will not do it, for obviously these things only make more evi- dent the ravages which they try to hide. But to occupy one’s mind with something that absorbs all its moral and intellectual powers, keep- ing alive the intelligence and ner- vous energy, gives alertness to a woman's mind and brightness to her eyes. A ematic course of read- | ing, cultivation of a musical or ar- tistic talent, soclal service work or organized charities, all these are | things which today make many women past forty simulate women of feldom does a woman realize the Insitery nature of her beauty, which ‘endered immune from the evils of hd, sun and weariness by that ent, element of beauty, youth. mescent Is “La Beaute du Diable.” But when youth and its magic glow e gone many a woman realizes she been left high and dry with hing to take the place of her only ource —~ that mysterious thing lich is out of her control—which given by /nature—and taken ay by nature—and which, from the omy tingness of its character is called | the French “Beaute du Diable.” ere are, of course, many ways of plonging youth indefinitely, but, n so, the day inevitably comes pner or later when the chin loses roundness, the cheeks their color, d even vigor of the limbs becomes paired. .

ACROBATIC ACTS GREAT AT KEENEY'S One of the most nouvelle acrobatic acts on the vaudeville stage is to be seen at Keeney’s this week, namely the act of the Six Webers, a troupe con- sisting of six of the best tumblers to be found in the United States. The female members furnish as much to the credit of the act as the males, contributing hand springs shoulder balancing, and numerous other feats of strength. The hardest trick per- formed by the company is the diving of one of the women from the shoul- ders of another member of the acro- bats, to the outstretched hands of still another member and keeping her bal- ance upside down for fully half a min- ute. The Colonial Opera Four have a repertoire of Italian and American grand opera song hits, that make a strong bid for first honors for the mu- sical end of the week's entertainment. It is very seldom that a mixed quar- tet can be secured, to sing grand opera in first class style, but this company the sea. comes up to and surpasses all expec- tation. This week is not the first time that the Colonial Four has been THE POPULAR SHOE STORE WHITE CANVAS COLONIALS AND PUMPS They harmonize well with many give a of the summer gowns and cool appearance that is so desirable in hot weather.

In the center of the stage there are flower pots arranged after the fashion of ten pins. Mr. Collins with his famous scissors stroke goes in and out of the flowers without even knock- ing one down. The big trick of the act is to make 275 revolutions a minute while in a squatting po: tion. For comedy the management has booked Fenner and Fox, the famous entertainers of musical plays. Miss Fox has a song, ‘“Beautiful Eggs,” which is making the' hit of the week. Besides ranking first as singers this pair can dance to perfection, if the audiences and their applause are to be taken as a judge. An act advertised as the Funny Finns, show ‘a few of the fancy punches of famous prize fighters past and present. Mrs. Finn, who claims to be the champion woman boxer of the world, is a personal friend of most of the present day fighters, and many of her boxing tricks were shown to her by the fighters themselves. The cssentials of self defense are shown by a lively ten minute encounter be- tween Mr. and Mrs. Finn.

Small knitted “‘bag caps” of silk ending in a long tassel are in great favor for sports. Silver and gold embroidered lace and tulle trimmed with fur and velvet are already seen. Although the new skirts are much fuller the materials are clinging and often transparent. Light colored taffeta dresses ficunced with lace are appropriate for garden party wear. The cotton crepes and seersuckers used for children's dresses permit a great economy in laundry work. The vogue of garish and eccentric cclors is about over, to judgeé by the furore for black and dark colors. English eyelet embroidery is revived for lingerie dresses. Usually they Lave colored silk slips below. Tulle and lingerie skirts are made with loose long-waisted corsages in dark blue taffeta or velour chiffon.

A teaspoonful of dry mustari rubbed in the hands, after prepar- ing onions or fish, will remove the odor completely. It should be rubbed in as if it were soap.

When this happens sprinkle a little granulated sugar over the coals. This intensifies the heat and the smoke from the sugar imparts a delicious flavor to the meat. .When cleaning white shoes the first thing to do is to clean off dust and clay by means of a hand-scrub dipped in water and a fine white soap. Let the shoes dry before applying any cleaner; sometimes the scrubbing all that is necessary. A good method of keepihg butter from turning rancid in hot weather is to put it in brine. Take a jar and put water in, then add salt until you have a brine strong enough to fioat a potato. Put the butter in the jar, cover, and keep in a cool place. When watering planis be careful not to water them too frequently: this will cause the soll to become waterlogged and the plants will die. A way to test the soil is to rap the side of the pot; if it rings clear the soil is dry; if the sound is dull do not moisten. This is the time to plant your flower seeds for next year's new flower beds. Prepare the soil in a shady place, drop the seeds in and dust a little earth over them, let them remain in the ground all winter, covering them with a little manure in the fall. In the spring vou will have a bed of nice little plants ready for transplant- ing.. This applies to perennials only. HALF OF CROP SOLD. Tobacco Selling for Two Cents a Pound ! Higher Than Last Year. New Milford, July 29.—Tobacco buyers have been through the Housa- tonic valley during the past week look- i ing over the crop as it stands in the field, and already more than half the | crop has been sold. Prices range from 16 to 22 cents a pound, an aver- age of two cents a pound higher than last season. Buying in the field is an innovation in this valley, and is probably due to the anxiety of tobacco men to secure the crop in view of the competition for the crop grown in the Connecticut valley. Tobacco is in better condition than in several vears at this time, ideal weather, no grubs or hail all combin- ing to help the grower inspite of the backward spring. Buvers have here- tofore come into the valley after the leaf has been cured. TO DEDICATE MEMORIALS. Portsmouth, N. H., July 29.—Cere- menies in dedication of two historical memorials were arranged to be held on Star Island, Isles of Shoals today. One of these is a bronze tablet, erccted by the Society of Colonial Wars in the state of New Hampshire in honor of Captain John Smith, who made the first recorded visit to these islands in 1614. The other is a granite wbelisk, marking the grave of v. John Tucks, born in 1702 and a minister on the Isles of Shoals for ‘-one yvears.
