New York, Aug. 6.—This is the time of year when the city woman, as well as her country sister, is realizing the imgortance of the sweater. Of course, the answer, s0 far as city women is concerned, is the increasing intrusion of sport and comfort cos- tumes fer hot weather, 1ong ago the taboo was placed upon the skirt and blouse without a jacket, for street wear. So what can the poor woman de? She can wear one of the thinnest developments of thé sweater idea that ingenuity can invent. Stout women hail them with delight, tor nothing gives her a worse figure than a shirt waist and skirt. Sweaters for sumtmer wear are shown in the smart shops in stitches which many a woman can knit or crochet at home. Perhaps that's the reason we see¢ 30 many women knitting sweaters on lotel verandas. The openwork, loose weave mohair in Javender with white silk binding on the Tuxcdo collar, belt and cuffs is one of the ligktest of these summer sweat- erz, Another si¢eveless mohair sweater bas the tuxedo collar. The gray mo- hair is reileved by white silk stripes. course, the silk sweater is shown in all degrees of weight but the really ‘“‘classy’’ silk sweatars do not aspire to transparency.

I can’t bear to write a screed like this to you, but I think it's best to let you know how things stand, don’t you? “My best to everybody, and réemember I'm standing by to the last gditch. “Yours, as tlways, STEVE.” If my heart was heavy when I pe- gan the letter, it outrivalled the traditional lead when I finished it Only too well did I remember whose charms the fascinating herdine of “Day Dream” perpetuated.

It's the end for me; all right,” he said with all the hopelessness of the artistic temperament when criti- 'cised upon him. “I might as well take up sign painting. | Wonder if I could get into the union?” There was & bitter note even in his gibing, which told me how deep the barb in the letter had pierced. 1 tried, clumetly emough, to alleviate ‘ts hurt. “‘But, Dicky, Mr Marsden says the quality of the sketches is all right”™ T bégan. “You read what eélse he said, dian’t you?” Dicky retorted sloom- ily. *“That spiel about Percy! He's the original dum-hum bullet when he gets started, that lad !” I had no answer to this, for I knew absurd as they seemed. Dicky’s fears that his career was virually ended were in some sense justified by the attitude of “Percy,” a private nickname bestowed by Marsden upon the senior member of the publish- ing firm which handled- Pennington’s books. *“Claude,” is the nickname given, by Marsden to the junior partner, and he is a square, likable chap with the courage of his con- victions. But that “Percy” would sacrifice anybody or anything to the exigency of the moment Dicky had told me many times. And more than half of Dicky's yearly income comes from he work givén him by this firm. That there must be some way out I realized, for I well knew there was something I myself could do-— it only I could bring myself to the doing of it. But just now, dazed and in- tensely sorry for Dicky, I could only put my hand on his, comfortingly. The next instant he had buried his head on my shoulder, and I felt more like a mother than wife as I silently comforted him. Gourauds Oriental Cream A WILD DOG. Old dog Spot felt greatly pleased with himself. He had told everybody that would listen t6 him how he could make Miss Kitty Cat angry just by standing still and pointing at her. - *“You’'d better leave that cat alone,” the old horse Ebenezer advised him. “Don’t you remember how she clawed you when you cornered her in this barn one day?” “l remember-—yes!”” Spot admitted, as he looked cross-eyed at his nose, which still bore the marks of Miss yThen_Miss Kittg Cat jumped.

If you could see it once you'd know :she was terribly afraid of me.” “Nonsense!" said the old horse Ebenezer. But he couldn't make Spot believe there was the slightest dan- ger in teasing Miss Kitty Cat. “She always runs up a tree after I've been pointing at her,” Spot went on. “You'd better look out,” Ebenezer ¢cautioned him. “She’ll . have you climbing a tree the first thing you KnO%il, that made Spot laugh. And he went out of the barn feeling even more pleased with himself than ever. He was sorry that Miss Kitty Cat Wwasn't in the yard. He felt just like bothering her. “rn gi up to the pasture and find me a woodchuck to chase,” Spot said to himself, for he was in such high spirits that he simply had to have fun of some sort. First, however, he decided to stop and dig up a bone that he had burled in the flower garden. So he trotted across the yard. And as he drew near the farmhouse he changed his plans all at once. He forgot his bone and he forgot his woodchuck, too. 'For he caught sight of something that had escaped his - eye -before. Stretched oa the ledge outside one of the kitchen windows, Miss Kitty Cat was enjoying a nap in the sunshine. ha!” said Spot very softly. “Aha! ‘Here's a bit of luck.”” And he turned sharply aside and hurried towards the house, to come to a dead stop beneath the window and stood there motionless with his nose pointing at the sleeping form of Miss Kitty.

If the window hadn’t been closed no doubt Miss Kitty would - have slipped through it into the kitchen. But there was no escape that way. “It's a pity,” she muttered, “‘that a person can’t take a nap without 'being stared at by this old dog. I think it's about time I took my neigh- bor’s advice and taught him to keep his eyes and his nose where they belong.” Then Miss Kitty Cat jumped. She jumped off the window ledge straight at old dog Spot, who was still gazing up at her from below. ‘When he saw her coming he gave 4 startled yelp and tried to dodge her. But he was too slow. Miss Kitty Cat landed squarely on his back and clawed him savagely. Old Spot dashed half way across the farmyard, then dropped sudden-. ly and rolled over and over on the ground. = The next instant -he was on his feet again and tearing toward the barn. Though Miss Kitty had dropped off his back and was already on her way to the house, he did not look around to see what had become of her. Spot bolted through the barn door and scurried into an empty stall where he jumped into the manger and cowered down in the hay that half filled it, and moaned. It was the stall next to the ¢ld horse Ebenezer's. And that mild fellow peered over at him in wonder. “What has happened ?”* he inquired. “The cat scratched me,” Spot tad him. ‘I was teasing her and she wasn’t at-all nice about it.” “What were you doing—pointing at her?” Ebenezer asked him. “Yes.” “1 suppose it made her wild,” the old horse remarked. “And a wild cat is a dangerous creature.” Spot whined fretfully. He wished he could lick his wounds. But how can one lick scratches when - they are behind one’s ears? “I was a wild dog for a few mo- ments,” he groaned. “I never dreamed she would plump down on me like that.” “Haven’t you ever heard of raining cats and dogs?” said. it’s Ebenezer “Well, today it rained cats.” (Copyright 1921 by The Metropolitan Newspaper Service).

New York, Aug. 6.—The roaming complex, sometimes called the wan- derlust, has become epidemic among eastern girls of debutante years. Not a few of them are tramping across the continent this summer, gathering an occasional “lift” from kindly auto- mobile tourigts and walking the rest of the way.” So-called sensible shoes, khaki trousers and the will to work when the purse becomes emaciated’ characterize most of them. Some of these eastern girls declare they find the west safer fof young women than New York city. Rebecca Brownstein and Myra Levine, former students of Syracuse University, who recently hiked from the Pacific to their homes here, praised western men so highly that many mothers be- gan praying that their dear daughters would not get ony of “those crazy ideas of walking across the country” into their heads. Florence Rosen and Gladys Zim- merman of New York, reached Los Angeles a few days ago after a long tramp across the continent, broken by jobs of stretching octaves on type- writers whenever funds ran low. They liked the open air life so well that they immediately began saving up for a return jaunt.

Cut with a sharp knife around the peach on the seam. This halves the peach with the flat of the stone. Then hold the peach firmly and with a quick wist break in halves. One half of the peach should be free from the stone. With a sharp knife cut cut the stane from the other half. The pressure should be applied in one's wrists rather than the fingers. If th: fruit is overripe the flesh of t peach will crush and the skin slip so that it is impossible to remocve the stone. Canned Peaches (Cold Pack.) Freestone peaches should be used for the cold pack method. ‘Wash, dip in boiling water for minutes. Dip in cold water and slip skins. Cut in halves and remove stone.

Clingstone peaches may be used when peaches are canned this way. Cook one quart at a time. A bushel of firm, small pitted fruit will make akout 16 quarts of canned fruit. Use from 1 to 2 cups of sugar for each quart. The amount depends on the sweetness of the peaches and on the purpose for which the fruit is canned. Peaches for pies and puddings require sweetening when opened. Use 1 cup of sugar to a quart of fruit for these. Peaches that. are canned for table use, as a dessert with cake, should be sweeter and 2cups of ‘sugar to a quart should be used. Make a syrup and put the halves of peaches in wnen the syrup has boiled two or three “minutes. Cook eight or ten mrinutes. The fruit should be tender but not mushy, and unbroken.
