I asked. “Did you see her cut and tear the blotter in that way?” “No. I no see her,” my little maid returned. “But T hear her ask you for new blotter and say she speel nk und eet make me tink. o 1 tak Lr und 1 go oop dere picces of blotter in waste al ck efery vun oudt pile vu dose haf nodings > ink Vay down in oon dl rest 1 find piece t lectle torn pieces 1 no haf time to look > dem queeck und shoost 1 hottom attered s6 vivid was > top than y first visit, e conjecture to my mind wson for the change little maid sharp- | Tad suspected upon this anele face was \(m pride in he she t blntter oonder o room ven you Marion's room 1 und ven T coom t me no 1 ne room tima look dot tehen ven T T stop by o e Jim n 10 keetchen gs vere he no find und you de ven 1 get 10 snspicionsly me mine broom und mine pail | £o0 hy | F fuks Jonmitiing flhlhutfluu suunnwu-u { 1 answered the unconacious appeal ! in her voice. ’ “I remember now, Katie,” I said | | with apparcotly careless intevest. “I | wondered then why you were 80 | long. but I thought you probably | had stopped to see to something in | your own room.” She laughed with relief, and I saw | that she would be most unhappy if !she guesscd that any part of her revelation was old to me. ell, dot's right,” she said gayly. | “I did stop sce something in mine room, but someting more dan you tink.

He had seen the look of longing in Peter's eyes.

AGNES LYNE A party with dress-up frocks ana | claborate swests and games and favors whould not be attempted for children under five years of age. Ruch parties are not appreciated by tiny folks and the outstanding re- | eults are generally ruined party Aresses, frayed tempers and speilee digestions. | It chiildren under age are te be | gathered together the affair sheuld last not more than one or two hours at most, the group should be small (not miore than ten), and indtvidual | play rather than games should be i encouraged. | A quiet ten minutes when some simple and_carefully chosen story 1s | told should come before refresh- | ments. These should consist of lit- | tie more than plain ice cream. coek- and perhaps a lolly-pop apiees. \ Children from five to seven will { enjoy more organized play, but it | should not be long drawn. There lare a few principles it is well to lieep in mind if you really want the children to have a good time. Madeline Snyder in her book, “My Fook of Parties,” has outlined thems |along with many carefully workes out plans for parties for children of all ages. | Start the party off well by giving | the children puzzles and plastecene to play with as soon the first few arrive, otherwise they are likely to he tired and out of hand before all the guests are gathered.

New materiuls and new colors are of equal importance with new cuts. For southern models introduce every new thing that couturiers create. They are the cream of the season, in many ways. Three mew colors that promise in- creasing importance ars a blue the | color of flowers, called ! a soft pink the color of wild roses, called “Callot rose” and a new, pale yellow, “wild rice.” Yelow Prime Favorite Since these three colors repeat themselves in every type of apparel | from the bathing suit to the ball room, it is safe to predict that blue, rose and yellow will vie for first place in the color race. Yellow has the greatest chance to succeed forv the vogue for sunburn amd lflr‘ shades that go «ith it give it a head start. Materials are varied and lovely in| the Palm RBeach clothes. Fallle crepe adds its levely, graceful tex- ture to the varied fabrics that will fashion southern clothes. Roulh-; ish materials like the pebbly Can-| ton crepes and tabs are goed, but they are of the fineat texture so/ that their firmness lends iteelf eas- ily te the manipulations the new styles emphasize. Necklines Decorated There is an insistence upon collar trim, these days. The collariess neckline is on the wane and mest of the new costumes show some soft touch around the neck. Bows are as popular a decerative touch as they have been in winter garments. There seems to be little | striving for originality in the use of | bows. The grace of an ordinary how in the garment's fabric or in some contrasting lingerie material is re- cognized at its full value. Hand em- broldered touches and even lace touches are new and good. A Degas blue flat crepe frock h three new features that serve mention. First, its hand-tucked batiste decorations are & part ef the trock. The collar is merely a fitted banding and instead of a tie and ends, the batiste is let into the frock in the form of a classic bow and shaped ends. Little cyfts are insert- ed, too, with the how tie ends run- ning up the sleeve. Second, it features a deep V front and back bodice yoke. Third, it has a most unusual tucked belt of its material that drops, after being knotted in front, to form an eriginal yoke for a front width of deep tucks. A second frock, of Callet rose Canton crepe, uses little dog-eared bows of Its material for deeoratien and fine hand-tucking in & dog- eared motiff around the hlouss and cufts. It is a two-plece model. It has a little standing collar of white georgette which repeats the dog- eared motiff in its tucks and its t A Chinece bangkok hat with an em- bossed band Yops it, showing the wider back brim which spring fea- tures. Graceful and extremely feminine is a third model which shows sev- eral new spring touches. It is a wild rice yellow two-plece frock in faille crepe. It shows the reference for the circular skirt, having beth its front and back circular, with straight lines. It has an unusual V decora- tion in the bleuse, its little lingerie collar of embreidery pointing te a V and a front panel beginning at the neck’s point and widening to a V at the waist. The back of the bleuse repeats, showing that spring is no longer partial to the front view. The hat is of matching yellow baku, with a gresgrain banding in & deeper LUNCHEON DELICACIES Figs in blankets are fine for lunch.

MORRIS I'ISHBE Editor Joyrnal of the American | Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine. Whooping cough causes deaths than do most of the communicable di s of It is fatal, however, only to the \cry young, and the immediate cause of death is nearly always some ondary infection. In 1927, there ware 16,231 cases of this discase in New York state with 478 deaths, and 11, cases in Illinois with 306 deaths. | Many of the cases which are ex- | tremely mild are probably not r ported, and in many instances w some con cating cause, the death certif does not reveal the actual cause of death. Vaccine in Epidemic For several years attempts have been made to protect children | against whooping cough by a vac- | cine made from the germs which are associated with the diseasc. This vaccine has been in use in all some 16 years. A recent resume of the subject | made by Drs. L. W. Sauver and L. Hambrecht indicates that the vac- eine is not valuahle unless given extremely early in times of epi- demic. Children are so often ex- posed long before they can be pro- tected against the disease that the | value of the vaccines in any event is extremely doubttul. These authorities are econvinced | that the one certain method M‘ controlling this eondition is find | out as soon as possible whether or not a child has wheoping cough and, | It 1t has the disease, to finolate it | immediately and to quarantine it strictly so that the disease cannot be spread to other children.
