moat fashionable scarfs, ribbons and silken fabrics. Even our own humble awnings bear the proud distinction of having their stripe* copied by Madame Fashion. All of which goes to prove tbe popularity of stripe* this season. The effectiveness of striped materials for midsummer frocks Is set forth In the two smart summer models tn the picture.

Washable silks of shirting variety, esiieclaliy accenting stripes, are greatly favored for blouse* as well as onepiece frocks which In their making are simplicity Itself. Many of these exploit lovely soft color combinations. There may t>e a stripe of bright color, narrower than the usual blazer, subdued by hairlines of some contrasting shade with perhaps black used between the gay colors. Pastel stri|>ed tub silks define such exquisite combinations as pale green with white, the green stripe* of graduated width; corn color on white, gray' with white and In the striped material* black-and-white is especially good.

Years and years ago when "grandmamma was young” her "Sunday

In the fashms of today history repeats Itself in terms of “self-trim.” The smart present-day note In dress design Is featured through intriguing plaiting, shirring, folding, cording, piping, and smocking. We modernists differ from our revered ancestors In that we do not bold our silken frocks for “state occasions." We wear silk any day and every day, finding it tbe practical thing to do. Os course for informal daytime wear, we choose a conservative style, of which the model In the picture is a representative type.

I didn't have any trouble about getting It either, and no one asked me to pay even so much as a bug for my admission ticket.” “He doesn't seem to move." said the first boy. “He Is looking at us." said the second boy. "There they stand with their tennis rackets as I’ve heard them call those things and they don’t move,” said the sparrow. "Well, we’d better look for the ball that went outside and then see if the bird goes by then." said the first boy. “Yes. we’d better do that,” said the second boy. “Then, if he hasn’t gone by that time." the first boy said, “we will go up to him and make him fly away. I don't want to frighten him when he Is so tame. But if we go up to him and send him away without frightening Idm it will be all right.” “It's strange to think how long he has been sitting there,” said the second boy. So the two boys began to hunt for their tennis ball which had gone outside and which was hidden In some long grass. They had quite a time finding It but when they came back the sparrow still sat ur*m the tennis net. “This is very strange.” said the sparrow. “I’ve never seen such a dull game. “I thought I would see how balls could fly when helped by those rackets. “I know they can’t fly very far or high but I'd like to see what they can do. And they’re not doing a thing. The boys spent so long a time just now in looking for another ball.” “Well, I am glad they didn’t ask me to pay a bug or anything like that for my ticket. It wouldn’t have been worth the price of a bug.” Then the two boys went up to the sparrow and said: “Fly off. sparrow, so we can go on with our game." The sparrow flew off and perched himself on a wooden bench which was quite far at one side of the tennis court. i Then the boys began to play.

Something to Think About By F. A Q7ALKER

LOSING OUR BEARINGS THE fine spirit of assurance which wa mortals frequently exhibit in the presence of our rivals, very often withers out and crackles before an explosive flame of passion. It is in such a blaze that the impetuous soul l<»ses his bearing and wakes up in his senses to find himself adrift on an uncharted sea. If he has within him but a small portion of the substantial fibre of which manhood is made, he places the fault where It belongs and proceeds without waste of time to mend his ways. Every hour somewhere, capable men and women, qualified by Innate ability and hard-bought education to manage large affairs, lose their course and go wrong, because of a little flaw in their mental structure which in the hour of test will not stand the hard strain. Yesterday they were proud, conceited and overbearing; today they are humble, sad-eyed and despondent, having, In a flare-up of ungovernable emotion, gone too far in an unwarrantable dispute with the master at the wheel. And, paradoxical as it may seem, the very men and women who know their duty, commit the most grievous sins. They imagine they are indispensable, that no other roan or woman in all the wide world can be found to take their place. And this hallucination holds them in its grip until they slowly wake up and see everything around them going along at its customary gait. That haughty old general. Ego, has caused as much misery tn the world as have all the generals of war combined. He is in the field twenty-four hours a day and never loses a battle. When we find pride swelling in our breast, our hats getting too tight, our tried friends boresome. we are getting perilously close to tlie befogged state of mind where, if we do not overcome our egotism, we shall lose our bearings. And again, when an overweening sense of Importance lays Its hands upon us and we lose the simplicity of manners which had always been ours, become stiff-necked, turn abruptly to genealogy and manifest a keen interest in heraldry, we need a long vacation nSiS®Book The perfection of breeding creates an atmosphere which brings out the best in others and which helps all wellmeaning people to feel comfortable and at ease.

Sweet corn, beets, carrots, sweet potatoes, when not over sweet, are all improved by adding a little sugar when cooking. Add a tablespoonful of melted butter to the sirup for the cakes and less butter will be needed to serve on the cake*. Clear tomato soup may be bought In cans and will be found a great convenience in making a tomato sauce, adding such seasonings as desired; all that is needed is the thickening of butter and flour and the sauce is ready.

Sandwiches of various kind* with a hot pot of coffee will often be all that Is needed with some fresh fruit for the finish of the meal. SUNDAY—Breakfast: Coffee caka. Dinner: Fried chicken, green pea*. Supper: Strawberry shortcake. MONDAY — Breakfast: Grlddl* cakes, bacon. Dinner: Pork chops, baked potatoes. Supper: Sally Lunn TUESDAY—-Breakfast: Buttered toast, fried ham. Dinner: Calf’s liver en casserole. Supper: Lyonnaise potatoes. WEDNESDAY — Breakfast: Omelet. Dinner: Apple sauce snow.

Sift one quart of flour tviice with a teaspoonful of baking powder. Measure one cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, melted, four eggsbeaten light and a teaspoonful of salt. Add the sifted flour in small quantities. stirring as long as the stiffening dough will allow you to use the spoon. It should be very soft, more like butter. Bake in a funnel cake pan. Turn out when tested with, a long straw ot toothpick. Slice and eat while hot. Calf's Liver en Casserole. Cook a few slices of bacon in a frying pan; slice the liver and lay upon the hot bacon, cook two minutes on each side. Transfer to the casserole, a<ld a pint of stock, sliced onion browned in bacon fat, and two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice. Cook closely covered for two hours. Shortly before serving add potato bails which have been parboiled. Thicken the brown gravy and serve from the casserole. Charles Kingsley says: "Thank God every morning when you get up that you have something to do that day which must be done whether you like it or not. Being forced to work, and forced to do your best, will breed in you a hundred virtues which the idle never know." LET’S GO PICh/ICKING It is wise it one has the inviting ot tbe party to choose those who have

proven tbei* right to belong to a picnic group. These who nnd ’he discomforts and Inco o v enlenees so pro-" nounced titat the joy «f the outing

Is lessened for others, should be left at home. Pick your friends from those who love the out of doors. The food and dishes for a picnic must be planned carefully as to bulk and weight. With the paper dishes to be bought so cheaply It is not necessary to carry much weight In slls. If one wishes a set more durable the aluminum Is light in weight and agreenble to use. The fewer dishes of the washable kind the better. Food may be wrapped In waxed paper and paper napkins used so that, with the paper utensils, the cutlery it about all that has much weight. And there are paper spoons, knives and forks If one wishes them. After a meal is over the paper and waste may be burned, leaving nothin? to carry home, compared to the ol<i method of packing baskets with heavy crockery. Salads may be carried In Ice cream containers, stuffed eggfc wrapped in paper squares, twisted at the ends after wrapping, and the pa per may be fringed if one cares tt take the trouble, making a very dainty as well as useful covering for the eggs. Sandwiches, of course, are rhe mainstay. Wrapped In wax paper; they will keep moist some time. Baked beans, creamed peas, which may be tcheated, are always enjoyed at a picnic. When a fire Is built to cook steak* or hamburger, a piece of sheet iron placed on a support makes a good frying pati. All sorts of cooking may be done o* It. Coffee In the pot may be cooked oyer it. while the coals and ashes underneath are)cooking othei foods Egg and Potato Salad.—Take tws cupfuls of boiled potatoes cut in cubes, one cupful of cucumber, cut in small pieces, two or three hard-cooked eggs chopped fine, two tablespoofitul* of chopped pickle, two tablespoonfuls of chopped green or red pepper one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a few drops of onion juice, one cupful of cooked dressing. Mix all together and carry in a glass jar. A few drops of glycerin added ta chocolate when dipping candies will give then a fine gloss. Begin With the Boy If you are going to do anything permanent for the average man, you must begin before he Is a man. The chance for doing good lies in working with the boy and not with the man.—Theodore Roosevelt J?eaZ Gratitude Old beggar (to liberal gentleman)— “I hope some day. sir. you may want for a dollar an’ that i’ll be able to give It to yer."—Boston Evening Transcript.
