Love’s Awakening By Adele Edith Accepts the Job of “Errand Girl” and Lillian Exults From behind Edith Falrfax's back, as she avowed her delight in planning decorations Lillian lifted her eyebrows at me and smiied sar- donically. “Leave this to me,” she signalled silently, and I was glad enough to ©bey. her. “I think Madge has her color scheme and effects already select- ed,” she sald. “At least she with- drew into the silence long enough to evolve a dozen banquets. But as 1 said, she can't get out, and we know that yon know the shops of this city as few do, so—we drafted you.” For a fleeting instant sometning ugly looked out from Edith Fair- fax's beautiful eyes. Then she mask- vith apparant good nature. “I'm the best little errand girl in the city,” she said, and no one could have detected the mockery which T ‘was sure lay beneath the words. “Tell me your great ideas, Madge, and I'll make a list of what you want.” Subtly she had managed to make me feel that my plans for the din- mer were flat and unattractive, and T had to force myself to apparent monchalance as 1 answered her. *“The things we have to work with are rather hopeiess,” I said, indi- cating the massive and ugly table at the end of the room. “But I have a damask cloth which will hide it completely—I couldn’t use 2 lace one of course over that wood.” “I don't know,” Edith said, look- ing critically at the table. Her tone damned my choice of damask, and she used the same be- littling tactics as I told her of my cholce of china, silver and glass for the dinner. “Is the Olina Princess the gor- geous dark creature I caught a glimpse of in your apartment?” she asked Lillian, Sidetracking Edith “Yes. You'll meet her after a little. S8he wasn't gowned correctly, she thought, so she hurried into her room when you came.” “There’s only one color scheme for her,” Edith said decidedly “Deep red roses, and candles and favors all the color of rubies.” “'Pears to me, you're getting your dates mixed, Ede,” Lillian drawled. “This isn't a Christmas dinner, you know." “But you're right about it's being the only color for the princess,” 1 sald. “But 1 am not building my scheme around her at all. Selfishly 1 am going to make Mary the queen of the feast. Let me show you the gown she's going to wear.” 1 went to my own room and came back with Mary's honey-colored gown flecked with orange. “Exquisite!” Edith murmured, with half-shut eyes. “I can see just the blossoms that ought—" I interrupted her ruthlessly. “Yes, can't you?" I asked inno- cently. “Those butterfly creamy yellow buds running into coppery gold at the base combined with that mew shade of orange sweet peas JENNY WREN HUNTS IN VAIN By Thornton W. Burgess Persistence is a virtue put to proper use; But e'en a virtue, it would seem, | may sometimes lack excuse. —Old Mother Nature when ‘tis Jenny Wren couldn’t forget that queer insect in the shed of Farmer Brown's house. You will remember it was what is called a House Centi- pede. So she kept going back to look for it again. 8he didn't see it until the next day and then she spied it. She darted at it. As before, it ran into a crack. Jenny grabbed twice. Each time all she got was a leg ani these she dropped. For a moment she quite lost her temper. | Tut when she had calmed down a little she heard again that funny little squeak. This time there were two squeaks. That is to say, a squeak came from two different places. Jenny cocked her head to one side in order to listen to it. It sounded like the very faint squeak of an insect. “There must be two of thum,” said Jenny to herself. “It's queer T can’t find them.” Just then Mr. Wren joined her. “What are you hunting for in here?” he demanded. “Listen!” said Jenny. Mr. Wren cocked his head on one side and listened. “There are some insects around here,” said he, and began to look about. “That's what 1 thought, but can’t find them.,” said Jenny. “What are those things kicking down there?” asked Mr. Wren, “Legs,” replied Jenny. “Twice T've tried to catch a queer fellow with long legs and all I've got was those legs. “That noise seems to come from around them somewhere,” saia Mr. ‘Wren, listening more intently than ever. “I know it,” said Jenny, “but you can see for yourself that there are no insects around them.” It was true. There wasn't the smallest of insects to be seen any- where about. You may be sure that two pairs of bright eyes like those of Jenny and Mr. Wren would have seen the smallest insect. It was very mysterious. Together they hunted all over but all their hunting was in vain. Finally they gave it up, for they could waste no more time with those hungry babies over in the nest. But Jenny Wren couldn’t forget | that mysterioud squeaking. She came back later. There was no squeaking. Once more she looked everything wover thoroughly, then finally gave it up. “It is too much 1 | The Heart Story ofa Steadfast Woman Garrison like those gorgeous long ones at the flower show, with just enough feathery green for contrast.

I decided that she had as T noted her watching the flush which the girl could not keen from her cheeks. “Yes, T do know a lot of shops, she said gamely. “and I'll do the best I can for you, Madge. Tell me now, what and how many and how much you want to pay for them.” 8he jotted down the commissions T gave her, and then we went back into Lillian’s suite where she met the Princess Olina and renewed ac- quaintanceship with Mary. When she finally left us Dicky escorted ker to the elevator, and T saw Mary glaring after them as if the per- functory act was a dictinct offense to me and all rules of decorum, and I was petty cnough to be comforted by her championship. “Well!

We love the sensc of complete possession which comes with the utter dependence of our children upon us. We are apt to expect too little of them in their early years. Then when they no longer are children, we are bitterly disappointed be- cause they seem to us irresponsible, incompetent and lacking in judz- ment in the management of their lives. Here are some rough gauges by which you can get some notion of vour child’s development. At three he should feed himself. At five he| should put on his clothes and man- | age all but the more remote but- tons and the tying of his shoes laces. At nine he should get through his morning routine, where he left his school hool himself know and At 12 he ought to face the unpleas- ant reality of home work without procrastination and reminders. 1f | | vour child does not do these thines | it is a sign that you have expected | too little of him.

It is quite possible to find mate- rials that are an admirable media of costume one wishes. Some fabrics contribute crisp freshness to morning or day- time attire; others, appealing fragil- ity to gowns for more formal oec- casions. This is especially true of diauphanous stuffs that lend their loveliness to evening settings. What, for instance, better could catch the n.agic of summer softness than chif- fons and lace? This season, especial- 1y, they seem ideal. Lace Is o Chic Choice Lace is the best all around choice for summer evenings that one could make.

There is a bolero over the fitted body of the gown, a theme that couturiers are bringing into play more and more as the princess lines prove popular.

Another lace dress, one of Chan- | tilly lace. is beige in color. It features a little finely shirred apron front, reminiscent of the eighties. At the sides squares of the lace hang as flying panels to ankle ing fullness and a low back. Summer Brings Light and Airy Modes; Lace Gowns in Favor For Evening Exquisitely diaphanous lace introduces the long-in-the-back length and a long cape effect makes the back as inter 'sting as the front.
