At least, I never can tempt him with anything here, and good- ness knows Miss—Lincoln—I can't twist my tongue to anything else even though I know now that she's a real princess—invited him often | enough to meals.

It was no idle compliment, for my | neighbor is 2 wonderful cook, and | when Noel, convalescing from his | injuries at the hands of Jack Les- | lie while defending Mary, had come | to her home to hoard and recuper- ate, the meals she had given him had been the chief factor in his re- covery. “Thank you,” she returned—there is no mock modesty about Mrs. Ticer —*"I do think ' can fix up some- thing tasty when I have the things to cook with. And land knows they didn’t stint me here. Whenever Mr. Noel was invited for a meal, Miss Lincoln was always saying. ‘Now don’t be afraid to spend what you need. I want something very nlc indeed.’ But law! it might ha been plain bread and butter for all | he cared. Nool Is "Love Sick” . “Of course, T know what's the matter with him,” she went on, and 1 signaled to her to lower her voice, for Noel's face was turned toward us. “He's just sick over Mary. ‘What ails that girl, anyway? Can't #he see Mr. Noel's twice the man | that George Jackson is—even if he | is a prince?” | But the reason for Mary's ap- | parent preference was not mine to tell Mrs. Ticer, and I murmured an evasive something about the incon- sistencies of young girls in love, “I don't believe she's in love with the prince at that,” Mrs. Ticer said | sagely. “I believe right down in her heart, | she ikes Mr. Noel best.

By the time we arrived at the farmhouse, my imagination had him coffined and buried, and 1 hurried to Lillian with my forebodings. She laughed reassuringly whan I had finished. “*Men have died and worms have eaten them,'” she quoted with a lit- tle grin, “‘but not for love,’ old dear, distinctly ‘not for love.” How- ever, Noel is just temperamental enough to prove an exception. Iam with you thoroughly in the wish that this business was safely concluded, and our troublesome twigs of royal- ty safely back upon the family tree.

With that i mind I determined that no formal announcement of the two betrothals must be made. It was comparatively easy to get Prince Geerges’' consent to suppressing the news of his en- gagement; I left the task to Mary, and she pleaded the necessity of keeping her infirm grandmother in the dark for a while longer. But Olina was determilrqd to parade Noel's devotion to her before Mary, and it was all Noel could do, act- ing upon instructions from me, to persuade her to postpone the an- nouncement until his father should come back. I hoped frantically that the great producer would postpone his return until we should be set- tled in the city hotel, but upon the very afternoon before we were ermined: scheduled to leave the farmhouse T was summoned to the telephone, and heard Philip Veritzen's voice.

TOO MUCH FLUSS By Alice Judson Peal Having heard the virtues of what are known to educators as “free play materials,” Chester's mother bought him a fine set of paints, an easel, three good brushes and a pack of large sheets of paper. Chester was thrilled. Before permitting him to begin painting his mother gave him a large apron, spread newspapers on the nursery floor, explained how to pour out the paint, how to aveld mixing, how to hold the brushes and how to wash them, and how, finally to put everything away neat- ly on a particular closet shelf. 80 impressive was her emphasis on all these details that Chester, eager to please his mother, concen- trated most of his attention on tions that he could think of noth- ing to paint except dreary, conven- tional little houses, which he made over and over again, while he wor- ried over each blot and drip. When we give our children new play materials it is wise to give them those which are simple enough to be handled without too much concentration on technique. If we choose to give him such complex things as paints we must let them begin with only a few colors, and we must be ready to put up with a good deul of messiness and what may seem to us like misuse of ma- terials. For the time being we must re- sign ourselves to ruined brushes, spotty clothes and general disorder. The experience will retain its gen- uine worth for the child only if we give him a minimum of technique while we allow him complete, un- critical freedom of expression.

By that, T mean that the wide va- riety of designs, the multitudinous effects achieved and the differences in fabrics used enable each woman to pick a cholce or two that will ex- actly suit her and express her per- sonality. There is, for instance, stiff taffeta for the crisp evening wrap that ex- presses animation. Transarent vel- vets are exquisitely clinging and feminine. Satin is soft and alluring. Brocades are for regal richness and many novelty silks are for individu- ality. Variety Marks the Mode No single style of evening wrap can be cited as the summer choice this year. They vary in length from the short flaring jacket to the long, { flounced coat that almost sweepa the floor in the back, short coats being very chic. Capes are excelleny, es- pecially when they are either the cute short type with triple collars or when they are slender line below the hips. Dolmans are in favor. Tha evening coat of a variety of cuts and lengths is excellent. Col and cuffs on evening coats are determining factors in their chie. Much is made of the high, soft collar that frames the face enhanc- ingly. This is more often than not or the silk of the coat, shirred, tucked, made into a flower design or in some novel way given individu- ality. Scarf collars, cape collars, even novel stock collars are features of summer wraps. But practically every collar is the type that can fall away from the face gracefully without be- ing fastened in place. Fur is not used so much for summer collars, though ermine, sable and other Jux- urious pelts sometimes edge scarfl collars and then richly trim the cuffs of coats. Colors Add Note of Interest Colors of evening coats are beau- tiful and appealing this summer. Chartreuse is a good color, Patou blue, absinthe, orchid, sea-foam green, all the soft pinks and apricots and yellows and off-white are seen. It is quite the mode to have a coat for each evening gown, the ensemble idea extending to color and cut, with the coat's fabric heavier than the gown. There is sophistication in the cut of one moire silk importation. It is a rich orchid tone. The coat is prin- cess cut in three-quarters length, with a double flounce dipping low in | the back, in the moment's modc. The collar stands high, being a tall, circular one that crushes here and i there for becomingness. The sleeves |are long and fairly tight. Velvet Coat for a Young Girl For the young girl there is a chartreuse transparent velvet coat of straight line with loose sleeves edged in silver fox. A scarf falls down the back, attached to the rear of the collar with a little bow. Fox edges this, too. As a conservative choice for the well-dressed woman who wants a coat for several evening gowns, T suggest a reseda green velvet. This hae a slightly molded silhouette with a circular scarf arrangement that hangs down both sides of the back below knee length. The sleeves arz especlally attractive, with a circular cut joining the straight sleeve below the elbow. YOUR HEALTH By DR.

Every year in the large cities of the United States there are numer- ous instances of deaths of infants from sleeping with adultd who ac- cidently overlie the infant during sleep. Not infrequently infants are found dead through having been permitted to roll over and lie with the nose and the mouth buried in a soft pillow. There are unques- tionably other instances which infants have been suffocated I through accidents of one type or another. The domestic cat not in- it can find about the home.
