Love’s Awakening By Adele I4itian Reluctantly, but Happily Permits Madge to Take Over the Motor Trip Preparations Lillian sprang to her feet when ¥ told her that I would attend to all of the packing and preparations for Marion's return to school, and that I meant to “shoo her out of the yard” for her longed-for trip with her young daughter in two day: “What sort of a slacker do you think I an she demanded indig- pantly. “Your hands are so fuil they're spilling over as it is, and then I dump five people —strangers —on you.

Burgess Beware of traps; they hidden lie To catch the careless passerby. —Jimmy Skunk Jimmy Skunk was comfortably napping under an old barn. Jimmy didn't know what was going on out- side, and he didn't care. But some- thing was going on out there that would have interested Jimmy if he had known about it. You sece, the owner of that barn knew that Jim- my was under it. The owner of that barn was not as wise as Farmer Brown's Boy in the ways of the lit- tle people of the Green Iorest and the Green Meadows. More than this, he was very much put out with Jimmy Skunk. You see, his dog |had tried to kill Jimmy and Jimmy [had used his little scent-gun, Now ‘that dog would not be allowed to ‘come near the house for some time. “I believe that Skunk is stil’ un- der this barn,” said the man, as he #tood outside with a terrible gun in 'his hand. “That silly dog won't go iin and bring him out, and I certain- ly can't go in. I'll set a few traps. 1 don't want any Skunks about my 'place.” Now, Farmer Brown's boy could have told that man something about 8kunks, Farmer Brown's Boy knows that Jimmy Skunk is a very usefu icitizen. He knows that Jimmy does @ great deal of good. Farmer Brown's meadow was a much bet- ter meadow than the meadow of this neighbor who was planning to ®et traps. And one reason was that |dimmy Skunk had made it his busi- ness to dig out and eat all the white {grubs that live in the grass roots i {Farmer Brown's Meadow. All the lyear ‘round Jimmy is busy doing things that help the farmer. But, {like this man who was planning to [trap him, many farmers don't know this. First, the min went all arount the barn and blocked up every hole that Jimmy could get out throagh. He wanted 1o make surc that Jimmy would be in there when hy returned with the traps. Then he | went back to the house and pres- ently he rcturned with three steel traps, those wicked things that cause so much suffering to who ught in them.

I guess you know what 1 think of you, old dear, for planning it for me.” “It wasn't all my plan, you know,” I said. “Harry spoke of your going away with Marion in the car.” “Yes, I know, he was very thoughtful,” she said. “But that was just a kindly vague suggestion. You made it concrete—and possible. Please, Ma'am, I put myself in your hands. I'll agree to anything.

In most of the cases the eruptions had appeared on Monday and Tuesday, so that the irritant substance heen handled on Sat- urday or Sunday. Most People Not Affected When the attacks were traced definitely to the newspapers and the handling of these newspapers elimin- ated, the condition cleared up with the application of a simple lotion. The persons concerned were espe- ly sensitive to the rotogravure inks. Most people who handle the supplements are not affected.

Machine Age Factor In Simplifying Dress Evanston, Tll., Oct. 17 (®—Frills and laces are gone from women's ! clothing, and one of the influences in that direction is the machine age, says Miss Anna Helga Hong, professor of arts at Northwestern university. The machine age has encouraged simplicity in effort and Miss Hong reasons “the college woman has realized the beauty of form which is reduced to essential simplicity. “Today there is a decided ten- | dency to plainness and frankness in | club members with the names of vo- | dress. Elaborate afternoon gowns and complicated evening dresses Lave been pushed aside by beauti- ful sport crcations and simple even- ing frocks.” Paris, Oct. 17 (P—Dalmation em- broidery is the mspiration of a Paul Poiret affermoon dress.

New York, Oct. 17—8ack suits are on the up and up for about-town wear, business, travel and other things that transpire informally in the life of man, Favorite materiats are homespuns, cheviots, vicunas, rough flannels and cashmerea. Some meticulous dressers still choose hard, fine fin- ished worsteds for their suits. But most men seem to prefer roughish fabrics for informal sack suits. . Brightness is an asset. Blues hav a vivid cast to them, browns take flecks of red, greens have a dash of yellow in them, and greys have jack or white to pep them up. The best materials introduce contrasting color in the form of indefinite stripes, plaid or tick effects. Back coats are cut semi-fitting with a mederate shoulder width, somewhat lower waistline indicat- ed than usual, with plenty of give in the hack width. Single or side back vents appear, or none, Fronts have two or three but- tons and lapels on the single breasted coats. But lapels really cun be as different as a man wants. They, along with pockets, cuft finish of sleeves, cut of lower fronts of the jackets and fullness of trousers, are a matter of per- sonal whim. There is no “what's what" in these items. ‘Trousers, however, more likely than not to be cut high, English fashion, with waist fullness pleated once on each side. Waistcoats have shawl or broken roll collars and a man can let his fancy fly, if he wishes, and choose a fancy cloth or cotton one. Whatever the details, all sack suits should have a general eate in the front's breadth, the back between the shoulders as well as lower and a sleeve that is wide cnough for comfort but close cnough to look smart. At a recent polo game Stewart Preece, of Westbury, L. 1., wore ocne of the season's favorites—a sack suit with a nonchalant easg about its coat and pleated trou- sers. It was grey, with an invis- ible broken plaid. He wore a dark grey hat and his shoes were black suede oxfords. are a little How Many in Different Jobs Federation to Make Voca- tional Survey.

In working out some luminous picture from yodr own life your mind will be s0 thrilled and your hands so busy that nervous tangles will just un- wind themselve: Mrs. Berethea Aske Bergh, au- thority on Norse culture, gives this sage advice from 30 years’ observa- |tion of just what a panacca for tense minds weavin n be. “More women than I can name have found solace in tapestry weav- {ing. women of middle years whose children are now gone from home, women who have met grief, women to whom life is utterly empty,” this little grandmother recounted.
