Love’s Awakening By Adele Garrison Madge Is Comforted by Harry's Of- for of Ald in the Romantic Drama of Noel and Mary “Oh! my sanctified great-grand- mother!” Harry Underwood groaned a8 my angry astonished eyes met Ris. “Now I have put my foot right inte the flower-border. Look lere, Lady Falr, can't you consider thal last fool question unsaid? Honest to Agnes, it just slipped out, because we were discussing Mary. 1 don’t really believe that you're ruling your heart with your head and put- ting ambition before the Dicky- bird, and it wouldn’t be any of my darned business if you were. Which particular way would you like me to do penance? Shall I walk on my hands the rest of the way home, or would you rather drag me at your chariot wheels in the dust or—" “Oh, do shut up,” 1 said crossly, angry at myself that 1 could not help laughing at his nonsense when, in realty, 1 was so thoroughly upset by his query. For the question he had half idly put when I had de- fended Mary for ‘ruling her heart with her head” had struck deep. ‘Was that the “theory I was believ- ing in now?” as he had said. Was I putting my ambition before my hus- band? Was that the subconscious Teason for my defense of the atti- tude which 1 believed was Mary's toward Noel, Georges and her career? “You should belong to the Inquis- itlon,” Mr. Underwood told me with a grin, “for you know you've chos- en the one punishment which is the keenest torture to me. Let's get on home, for if I can't talk I shall ex- pire right here at your feet and then you'll have a coroner’s inquest on your hand: 1 stooped to the switch key. still laughing, and sent the car on its ‘way. Mr. Underwood did not speak again until we were almost at the house. “Just one minute before we get there,” he said, his voice serious. *Whether you're wrong or not about Mary — and I'm rather inclined to bank on the proposition that Noel means more to her than you think, J've got a hunch that it won't be a bad idea for old Doc Underwood to keep his eyes open when he's going to the mat with old Phil Veritsea this Winter. “Mr. Veritzen?" I exclaimed in. voluntarily. Then 1 was furiow: at myself for the slip, for I did ot wish Harry Underwood to guess that I already knew of the drama which he had sent to the great pro- ducer under another name and which Mr. Veritzen had recognized as his. Philip Veritzen had told me of it and asked me to tell Lillian in the days before the wanderer came back in such spectacular fash. fon. But I had heard nothing cea- cerning the play since. “Yes, I've got a hen on the nest cver there he said carelessly, “‘but the old boy and I are having a few little differences of opinien sbout the hatching. But what I'm getting at is this. If, at any time, anything which troubles you comes up in the three.act romantic drama of Noel and Mary, remember I'm a play tinkerer—so-called—and an 8. O. §. will bring me on the run. Yeu don’t understand? You don’'t nead to, not until the time comes, it it does. Then you will." He finished his cryptic utterance with one of his great laughs just as we turned in at the gate leaving me thoroughly puzzled but with the comforting little conviction that I could indeed call upon him for aid and counsel in any emergency, and that he meant to keep some sort of watch upon Philip Veritzen's ac- tivities. Jerry Ticer's small car had turned in the gate ahead of us, and I hur- ried to the rear of the house, for Jerry always brings our mail when he fetches that of his own family from the post office. Mary was standing by the car and was look- ing over the mail which he had just handed her. “Only one for e, from Aunt Harriet,” she said. “Will you talke the rest, Auntie Madge?" She handed me the letters and 1 roted that the envelope she held was of the heavy gray mono. grammed stationery which Harriet Draithwaite always uses. Yes, this was the day of the week on which | her tetter and aliowance arrived. | Copyright, 1928, Newspaper \ Feature Service, Inc. Cubby Tries to Get in By Thornton W.

It really was an ideal home they had there. Inside that little sugar-house they felt socure from e e.\ one ex- cepting Shadow the W But as they never felt secure an)’\\h»rn from Shadow the Wecasel they didn’t think much about it. They came and went freely and they epent more and more time outside the sugar-house. Not since the visit ot Yowler the Bobcat had an enemy peared. One night just about dusk when Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot were getting ready to go out, Trader the Wood Rat came in in a great hurry. He certainly did come in in a great hurry. “What is it?” snxiously. “§h-h-h-h!" said Trader, putting ® hand on his lips. Whitefoot and Mrs. Whitefoot lis- tened anxiously. Presently they Reard a sniffing and a snuffing an! & blowing. “Bear!” whispered Mrs. Whitefoot. ‘Whitefoot nodded. those young Bears,” & whisper. They were right. It was Cubby Bear. Cubby had caught a glimp. ot Trader. He had seen where Trad- or had disappeared at a certain corner of the old sugar-house. He found a hole there. He sniffed and Re snuffed. Then he began to dig. You know, a Bear is a very gool digger for a very short time. Cubhy made the dirt fly. But presently asked Whitefoot “It's one of &aid he, also in reached the timber that he couldn't | dig under.

Luncheon — Baked Mexican corn, cabbage and carrot salad, brown bread and butter, chocolate drep cookies, milk, tea. Dinner Broiled minced lamb cutlets, scalloped potatoes and onions, corn salad, baked pears with chocolate sauce, milk, coffee. Many children around five years of age appease their pangs of hun- ger by quickly drinking the pre- scribed glass of milk and then fuss- ing and playing with the necessary solid food. One way to overcome this habit is to wait until the veg- «tables and bread and butter have been disposed of before serving the child his milk. Then the bait of a cookie with the milk makes it “go down"” happily. Baked Mexican Corn Twe cups chopped tomatoes, 1 cup corn cut from cob, 1 cup corn meal, 13 cup stoned ripe olives, 1 cup, chopped veal. 1 tabléspeon minced onion, 2 teaspoons minced parsley, 11, teaspoon salt, 1 tea- sroon paprika, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 2 eggs, 1-4 teaspoon white pepper.

BY HENRI BENDEL New York, Sept. 15.—With this a season for unusual and decorative clothes, there is @ high premium upon the pretty and becoming cos- tume that has the additional attrac- tion of being wearable. Some materlals, like transparent velvet or fine lacts, are loveliness it- self but not practical for the woman who can have few outfits with which to maintain her reputation as a well- groomed individual. Also some colors while decora- tive and beautiful are so challeng- ing that they, too, are impractical except in the well-stocked ward. robe because once seen they are never forgotten, Avold Bizarre Costume ‘This same is true of certain styles. A princess gown with unique neck- line, train, membered and the times its owner wears it will be tallied by other women who may be envious but surely are noticing. Therefore the costume that is material that, nevertheless, falls into the class of fine workmanship rather than startling. is the one for the women with a fund of good taste but hip ornamentation or: other noticeable feature will be re. charming, of alluring color and fine | not so many clothes. The best choice tor a suit in this category is a tweed. Never were tweeds smarter than this season. 1f a woman gets one of the new smoky blues or of the rust browns, by change of blouse or jumper and hat and shoes she can achieve any num- ber of costumes with the one suit. There are tweeds with fur-lined coats, others with smartly fur. trimmed jackets. But some that iear authentic chic are those with no trimming at all, depending on their own lines and fine material for it. ) An especially chic suit is of rather dark brown, with a fleck of tan in it, a serviceable, smartly pat. terned design of tweed. Its skirt is scmi-circular and of the variety that can have its blouse tucked into it, or worn over its snugly fitting hip- line. The coat comes within a few inches of reaching the skirt's lower edge. It flares, in much the same {1nanner as the skirt and has raglan sleeves under a shawl collar that is much like a cape when unfastened. Its tan silk blouse has its long tie and belt bound in brown. Velveteen comes in new sveltness this winter, & charming fabric. For afternoon nothing is nicer than on of the velveteen suits, with a lame blouse in silver or gold, with seme color. Chic Little Blouse ‘With a bright medium blue suit, an especially charming blouse is ene of silver lame with a striped weave that uses just enough blue threads in it to make it perfect with the suit. Blouses this winter, take a touch of trimming, as does this one with a criss-cross of the suit's ma- terial dewn its front and fer cuffs. For service and chic combined. & taffeta evening gown is admirable. Fashioned of fine material, a taffeta really needs no trimming save those made from its own material, such as crimson, clematic, fuchsia or tlue. Yvonne Carette uses tafteta after the manner of tulle or chiffon in & crimson evening gown with loi moulded bodice and a skirt that flares from the hipline with bows and streamers of self-material. It has pointed, uneven dips te its skirtline, with more length in the back. But it gets away from the bustle idea of fullness by having most a suggestion of the bouffant gown in the way its skirt is posed on the moulded silhouette, Trimmings Of All Kinds Shown These Are Returning to Style Prominence. New York, Sept. 15 (UP)—The tendency to mold the figure through the waistline and to swathe or flat- ten the hipsgive the effect of ex- treme slimness at this point, the complete abandon in the width of the skirt, especially in the lower section, gives a piquant quality to the new styles. Then, too, the semi-fitted line at the waist. the narrow trim flat belt, or the flat unbelted line, contrast with the voluminous collars of furs, and the animation centributed by scarf details at necklines. One finds also that a variety of lines in cut and design may or may not have their origin in the mod- ern thought. The curved lines cre- ated by godets or extreme circular fullness make their impression in outline sketches. Vertical lines still appear in seamings, panels and the edges of panels or tunics, or diagonal makes its appearance necklines and trimmings. For evening, the waistline, mount- ing at front, is conspicuous with a corresponding dipping at back, while the slight inclination to dip in skirts for daytime or to form pointed de- tails is noted, as well as the low placing of flounces and tiers—the slightly greatter length of the day- time silhouette also registers. Trimmings, which have been ab- sent for 80 long a period. are again prominent, varying all the way from buttons and lace to embroideries and fur.

This feeling for detail expresses itself everywhere, running through- out the entire fashion program. An excellent example in point is seen in or nude that is added at the neckline and wristline of almost every dress. If it is a tailored one the idea s merely the conventional line of white linen or pique. In more formal dresses, particu- larly black ones, greater ingenuity is offered first in the alternative of ping, nude or white, and again in the many ways in which the accent is applied. It may be a facing that brings out to best advantage the individual cut of a collar or draped neckline, or else this facing which is quite prominent in dark dresses, may emphasize a panel or released edge of a tunic. In all the velvet dresses, for in- stance, that one associates with formal afternoon wear, the lace yoke | or scarf is practically regulation, Co-Education Is Best Plan Swarthmore College Dean Gives Views. “A co-educational college is ideal institution for both men and women, if the students are well-bred and keenly interested in their work.” declared Mrs. Frances Bradshaw Blanshard, dean of women at Swarthmore college. “In enthusiastic, strenuous study, MRS. FRANCES B. BLANSHARD each group of young men and wom- en finds the difference between their minds not a distraction but a stimulus. “Students in a co-educatienal col- lege are more sensitive to ‘human relations,’ more mature, less likely to.be unconventional than the un- dergraduates in separate colleges for men and women. “They understand each other, take each other for granted and leave college prepared to it naturally into the conditions of business and the professions where successful men and women must work together harmoniously.” the | Gardener Finds Much Fall Work Getting Ready for the Coming Spring. A good gardener finds a lot of work to do in the fall. In most sec- tions of the country there is plenty of good weather in the fall months and we should take advantage ot it and get a great deal of work done now instead of waiting for spring when there is never timne to do all we want to, New borders may be made in the fall. Bulbs and many perenni may be set out. Shrubs and trees udded to complete our landscape scheme. The whole garden should be thoroughly cleaned up, burning all refuse as it may harbor distase spores and insect eggs. All vacant rough through the winter se that rcught through the winter so that the frosts may mellow it. Weeds should be cultivated out as they make a lot of growth even in the winter and will be just that much harder to get rid of the spring. You should be planning now for next year's garden, trying wherever you can to make improvements. Try out new color scheines and new combinations of different flowers. It |18 these things that keep up one’s in- terest in the garden. When your | garden comes to a standstill you will soon lose all interest in it. There are always new flowers to add and new ways to combine the old ones to get better results. | By all means keep a garden note |book; you will find it a great help |in not overlooking the things you want to do. Once you get the note book habit you will worder how you made out without it. Another thing you should start this fall if you have not done so al- Iready, and that is to make a com- | post heap. Save all the leaves and | pile them to rot. This compost ma- terial will be valuable for top dress- irg your borders and lawns. Never burn leaves. OLD-FASHIONED WINDOWS I¢ your home has old-fashioned windows with inside blinds that have been removed, build shallow book-cases where the blinds were. They make a tremendously decora- tive border to windows ard form & kind of focal point for a reom. BATH SPONGES Wash your bath spenges thorough- ly every few days. Use either milk or boiling water with some diluted tartaric acid. Rinse th.roughly and dry in the sun.
