Few of them to-day, however, know that a little over two hundred years ago this fn mous spot was known as John Mar- ning’s Island, and fifty years before that the Indians called it ‘‘Minna- hannonck."’ John Manning was the captain of a vessel which traded between New York and New Haven, and when his vessel passed into the possession of the British, he was made Sheriff of New York. Like many a more mod- ern office holder, he became wealthy, and with the reward of office he bought the Island of Minnahannonck from the Indians, Not knowing the Indian name for the island, the people of New York had called it Long Island, what {s now Long Island then being known as Nassau Island. In 1673, w..en the Dutch retook New Netherland, Manning was in com- mand, as Gov. Lovelace happened to be in Boston, He surrendered the territory without a struggle, for which he was court-martialed and found guilty. His sword was taken from him publicly as he stood before the Stadt Huys and broken. After his disgrace, Manning retired to his beautiful island where he lived in luxury, ~Sailors who passed the island brought ashore wonderful tales of the extravagance and riches which they caught glimpses of on John Manning's Island, and the place came to be a centre of Interest and mys- tery. When the owner died he bequeathed the property to his stepdaughter, who was the wife of Robert Blackwell, In whose honor the tsland was then named. In 1828 the city acquired the prop- erty and little of the history of the romantic island is remembered. Pen Kotlar- JOHN _ [CAN KILL S/X THIEVES WITHOUT RELOADING —~ DID YOU GET A GUND By Roy L.

T could see that clear across the street."’ A lght broke in upon Mr. Jarr. “Mayho the lady across the street was: flirting,” he sald, ‘‘but not with me. I told you the party I spoke to—on our elde of the street—was Harold de Brie, the moving picture actor. She was most Iikely flirting with him and not with me at all.”” Mrs. Jarr accepted this explanation with some misgivings, and just then a debonair young chap passed by and raised his hat to her. “Who is your friend, Clarence, the Cakie?"” asked Mr. Jarr, “You never mind,” replied Mrs. Jarr. ‘I know some nice people.”’ Mr. Jarr laughed and said no more and the two walked on in silence for a moment and then, to Mr. Jarr's great ‘You surprise, Mrs. Jarr commenced to sniffle “And what's the matter now?" asked Mr. Jarr. ‘Has another lady been flirting with your fascinating husband from three blocks away?" “It isn't that,’ whimpered Mrs Jarr, ‘but you never seem to care it anybody does try to flirt with me You weren't at all curlous who that young man was who bowed to me Well, if you must know, he’s “the young man who gave the private sax- ophone lesson& to Clara Mudridge- Smith and Mrs. Stryver last winter “Why ‘should [ care?’ asked Mr, Jarr. here's no harm in a young man bowing to you.’ “But you might be a little bit jeal- ous,” sald Mrs, Jarr. ‘It shows we are still in love as long as we are jealous."

Try applying a face mask nade with the juice of a lemon and the white of an egg. Allow to dry on the face and remove with warm water, followed with an tce rub, If you avold constipation by the proper diet, also avoid acid foods or foods that cause an acid combination, until your skin has cleared and increase your ofreulation by a vigorous rub- down after tho daily sponge bath, I IDey MISS DOSCHER: feel sure that you will find the red blotches disappearing.

Since you are so active and do not decrease in weight, I presume your diet 1s at fault. Try eating more laxative foods, as this very quickly reduces the abdomen. Standing up straight and kicking out with each foot in turn, bending the knee so as to draw the heel or the foot back as far as it will go, is an excellent ex ercise for reducing the legs. Repeat this exercise from fifteen to twenty times every day. The correct height and weight for your age is 5 feet, 87 pounds. The Sewing. Basket A FLOWER OF SILVER CLOTH.

HOW THE FRENCH MAKE A BINDING. You know about those tntri cate looking bindings on the edges of the elaborate sllk and chiffon frocks that are shown by the smartest dross- makers? Well, they are not nearly 80 hard to do as you might tmagine First you turn back the edge of your material for a quarter of an ineh Take « seam on the edge—a seam of about a third of that quarter inch. ‘Then turn over the remaining portion of the turned back plece and hem it along the wrong aide. There you have as neat a binding as you can imagine and without all that tronble of cutting blas bands and shaping them to your frock's edges, This is an excellent idea for the finish of fine underwear and for the edges of the simple one-piece frocks which would be spoiled with any more elaborate trimming.

SYNOPSIS. | ad H H « Hints for Home Decoration How to Make Your Winter Curtains HERE ts a special knack about ar making winter curtains, They are different from the summer ones—not nearly so simple to do but 0 much more effective, after all, and easy when yan know the trick. You know how some people's cur- tains look Important and heavy and sumptuous and as though they spent Just oodles of money for them. And then, when you examine them, they seem to be made of Just ordinary ma- terials? Well, these are the stunts to do to make them look important. Line the Inside draperies with sateen or unbleached muslin. Make them very smooth so that the linings ft exactly with never @ pull nor a drag in this direction nor in that, Then put heavy weights in the bottoms of the draperies, concealing those weights between the outside material and the lining. Then you have something which takes on dignity and weight and which makes the curtain fabric take on an added importance because of the fitting and draping that have gove into the process of making. That is the reason that those curtains you had in mind looked so gorgeous when they were only made of plain stuff like your own. If you are making a valance for those sume curtains, that also must be lined and slightly-weighted, so that it will become of the same apparent texture as the side curtains. And tt must be pleated to a board that ts fitted to the window, so that every appearance of formality shall be pre- served. Often It Is a good idea to edge these curtains and the valance with some sort of a heavily woven galoon. It n be ail or gold if the amount you have to spend is very enormous. If not, then tt can be one of those woolen woven braids that come for edging and look most elegant against the surface of silk or cotton rep or velveteen damask Cretonne that simulates a wood blocked linen in those darker tones nd shadings {s good for winter cur- tains in living or dining room.
