A really famous doctor said many years ago that If every busy woman would rest one whole day out of every two weeks she would never be 111, nor would she grow old. That rest does not mean simply re maining in the house, receiving com pany, nor reading an exciting book, nor answering letters. To rest piop erly and effectually one should remain in bed twenty-four hours. After taking a warm bath at night, and having perfectly fresh 1‘nen put on the bed and on oneself, sleep as long as possible, then upon awaken ing take another bath and change all the linen again. . Eat a light breakfast, read a little, write no long letters, and see no com pany. Keep the room cool and sleep as much as possible during the day When you arise in the evening bar e a eold sponge bath, and dress for din ner or supper.

Newark Dally Ad vertiscr Publishing Company.) (Continued from yesterday.) Clutching the nickels and pennies tightly in her right hand, Dorothy tiptoed across the living room to the hall. Pausing in the doorway, she tnrn ed toward Davie with a finger on her lips. "Remember mother's headache,’' she whispered, "if she wakes up she —she might not let us go to get the puppy.” Davie frowned a little. "I guess I can i>e as quiet as you can,” he declared in a loud whisper, "I'm Just as——” Crash! Davie bumped into a chair, which promptly slid along the polished floor and crashed into the wall, making enough noise to awake six or seven people with sick head aches. Dorothy rolled her eyes skyward in despair, while Davie placed his fat little brown hand over his mouth to surpress a giggle. For a moment they listened, but no sound came from upstairs. Then Dorothy ran softly across the hall to the front door. She opened the door and stood holding it, beckoning for Davie to come. Davie started on tiptoe, lifting his feet very high. This time the small rug near the door slip from under him, sending him face downward to the floor, bumping his knees and his nose at the same time. Dorothy tossed her head impat iently. "Davie Dear, your the clumsiest boy in the whole world!” Davie sat up and rubbed his nose. "Anybody'd think I fell on pur pose to hear you,” he cried indig nantly, forgetting to whisper "don’t you s’pose that hurt? I bumped my knees, too.” "Well, why didn't you look where you were going?” "I did.” “You did not.” ”1 did.” Davie's eyes began, to flash. "Chil—dren,” came a weary voice from upstairs, "what's the matter?" Dorothy and Davie both started guiltily, “Now we've, done it,” whispered Dorothy, “and it was your fault.” "It was not. It was yours. "1 wouldn't, have talked out loud if you hadn’t made me angry.” "Children!” nils time the voice was sharp. "Don’t you know that 1 have a headache?” "Yes, mother, and were going outdoors and keep very, very quiet,” called Dorothy, “and we’re ever so =» sorry we waked you up, mother." . "I'm sorry, too,” cried Davie, who never liked to be left out of things, ‘‘and I'm going outdoors, too.” "All right,” came the headachy voice, and the children tiptoed softly through the door and down the steps. "Well, are we going for the puppy now?” asked Davie, forgetting his anger as he thought of the little brown doggie with the white collar and the cold nose, and the legs that wobbled when he tried to run. Dorothy looked thoughtful. "Davie, we OUGHT to ask mother first.” Davie shoved his hands in his pockets and looked thoughtful, too. Dorothy sat on the bottom step and rested her chin in her hands. For a minute there was silence. Then said Davie: “If we ask her 'bout the dog first she might say no, and then we couldn't go to get it ’thout getting punished; but if we go to get it first and then ask if we can keep it, why, mother might like the puppy so well that she wouldn’t ever want us to take it back.” And Davie’s face was full of triumph as he ended his long speech. “Don’t you think so, Dorothy?” "We-ell,” said Dorothy, slowly, "s'pose she don't like It? It'll malce us feel dr-readful to have to take l ho doggie hack then. And maybe the boy won’t give back our twenty five cents. Davie pulled his hands from his pockets and sat on the step beside Dorothy. "I didn't think of that,” he said, dolefully. “1 know,” replied Dorothy, tug ging at one of her curls: “but I did.” And then those dear Dear chil dren fell to thinking again. After a while Davie jumped up. "I'm going to ask the boy if he'll lend us the puppy to show our mother," ho declared, "and then, if she don't like him—well, we'll Just have to take him back. But she will like him, Dorothy. His teeth are white and pointed, and they’re not all through, and that's what makes him like to chew on things. Are you coming?” fTo be continued.) Iced Cocoa Cocoa should be made a little stronger than usual when it Is to be served cold. It makes a delirious and nourishing drink which would be served more often, perhaps, if it did not require so much time to chill the liquid before it can be put near the ice. I _■■■ - -■ •' 1.— “Lavender and Old Lace” No longer are old laces and hand embroideries stored away, with lav ender in grandmother’s cedar chest. The practical woman of today thinks* that romanticism In cedar chests doesn't pay, and she Is digging up such treasured bits of finery and using them in all sorts of charming ways for her own immediate benefit. A real lace and sheer embroidery handkerchief that was perhaps part of a trosseau will make a pretty col lar, and, when applied to sheer linen, a set of the smart turnback cuffs or the entire wide border of a hand kerchief can be used for a rolling collar. The material may have to be cut a bit to be shaped, but clever stitching can do wonders. Rxqutslte boudoir caps can be evolved with the help of flowers and knots of ribbon from old lace handkerchiefs or the larger kerchiefs, says the Trenton Sunday Times-Advertiser. Larger lace collars and berthas are being used on blouses of net and sheer linen or batiste. Now* that blouses open in front it Is quite pos sible to use some handsome old piece of lace without cutting it, as the rolling collar can continue down the front, or it can be used to form a sort of waistcoat, popular equally on thin gowns and blouses. A charming little .handkerchief gown noticed recently had a bertha used this way. The embroidery was arranged loosely in the front, then fastened down under a dark blue satin girdle and shaped below in a pointed vest upon which blue wash buttons were used. Gowns of Gabardine The fine serge, known as gabardine, has been generally adopted for walk ing costumes, and is seen either in dark blue or in white, says an ex change. The favorite way of making this material into dressy costumes is to pleat it in flounces of unequal width, Ik to make one long kilted overskirt, with the nnderskirt much narrower and perfectly plain. V.ven the hem is avoided, and we find the plain skirt finished with a tiny roll of the material, resembling a piping. Invariably the bodice blouses at the waist, and fastens in front with a row of small buttons. Whito muslin col lars and cuffs relieve the dress, and sometimes a line of color is seen at the waist f^neath the stiff band of the same f iertal. Some, however, prefer to keep the dark blue costume unrelieved except by the white collar and cuffs. _ Cooking Suggestion -TcTirnprove the flavor of currants and sultanas which are to be used for cakes place them in a bowl, pour boiling water over them and leave to soak all night. The fruit swells twice its former size, but should be drained from the water being added to the other ingredients.

M7s Method of Canning Tomatoes Dear Miss Dopn: I have canned tomatoes for the last seven years and have never had a can spoil. First have nice clean cans and new rubbers. I cut up my tomatoes and stew them so that when I open a can all I have to do Is to heat them and ada pepper and salt. Now, here Is my secret for keeping them: I fill cans to overflowing; then around the rubber I sprinkle salt, not on tomatoes, Just on the rubber rings, and I also heat the tops of the Jars. Hoping Mrs. H. will be suc cessful with her tomatoes and here's luck'to M. Doon. Sincerely. '"R3. J. W. M. —• **iwa Thank, jiou. .u.s J. W. M. I know that the readers will appre ciate your "secret."

V., for the words of “The Gypsy’s Warning,” recently requested by a reader. Am glad, Mrs. H. C. V., that you like my page so well. Would like to see your Margery Doon scrapbook. THE GIPSY’S WARNING. Trust him not, O gentle lady, Though his voice be low and sweet; Heed not him who kneels before thee, Softly pleading at thy feet; Now thy life is in its morning, Cloud not this, thy happy lot. Listen to the gipsey’s warning— Gentle lady, trust him not. Lady, once there lived a maiden, Young and pure, and, like thee, fair; Yet he wrooed, he wooed and won her, Thrilled her gentle heart with care— Then—he heeded not her weeping— Ho eared not her life to save! Soon she perished—now she’s sleep ing In the cold and silent, grave! Lady, turn not from me so coldly, For 1 have only jspoke the truth From a stern and withering sorrow, Lady, I would shield thy youth; I would shield thee from all dan ger— Shield Ihee from the tempter's snare; Lady, shun the dark-eyed stranger— I have warned thee; now, he ware! Take your gold—1 do not want it; Lady, I have prayed for this— For the hour that 1 might foil him, And rob him of expected bliss. Aye, 1 see thou art filled with won der At my looks so fierce and wil Lady, in the churchyard yonder Sleeps the gipsy's only child!

A Real Calamity Dear Margery Doon: Will you please tell me how u act ink out of a tine white linen ftuv cloth? I am afraid to try the oxalic acid method for fear it will eat the linen. Can you suggest anything eise? WORRIED. When articles are cleaned with oxalic acid they should be rinsed thoroughly With cold water The rinsing should take place at once. Try this method on your trav cloth: Soak all night in buttermilk. Next day rinse through two wa ters and lay in the hot sun, wetting the spots hourly with lemon Juice. Rinse at evening and soak all night in clear water. The stains should by now be gone. ’ If faint traces remain repeat the sunning and the lemon Juice. Belle S.

She Would Have Her Face Enameled Dear Miss Doon: Will you please let me know if there is a place where you can gel • your face enameled, either in New ark or New York? I think it costs about twenty-tive dollars. Also what is good to make the hair light and keep it light? MAE. I cannot give business names and addresses in this column, and even if I could would hesitate before tell ing you Where and how to have your face enameled. Tt is a pain ful process, vvitli uncertain results. Clear lemon juice add’d to 1lte rinsing water will keep light nun from turning dark. Peroxide ct hydrogen will bleach the nnir, cut it w'ill cause the face to wrinkle trom worrying about keeping the roots the same shade as the ends. 1 would not venture to use it if t were you. Cold water, fresh air and simple,, healthful foods are the real beaut,I tiers. Agnes G. Am sorry T cannot give business names and addresses in this column.

TlffesDAT, SEPTEMBER 1, 1914. Ambell’s Disgrace By Howard Falk. "Corporal of the guard!" The stern tones of the O. C. (officer com manding) rang out on the cool Janu ary air at West Point. "Yes, sir!” the corporal spoke. "Detail a squad under command of Corporal Delmore. here." “Very good, sir,” and the officer went on his mission. "Corporal Delmore." said the O. C.. Second-classman Ambell was granted leave of absence with the express con dition to return at 8 p. m. It is now 10 p. m. Send for him and place him under arrest for gross disobeyment of orders.” “Very good, sir. Squad, about face! Forward! March!” The squad swung down the gravel walk Into a street of West Point. Straight as ramrods they marched. Corporal Delmore leading. Coming on a classmate of the first class, Del more said: "T.leutenant Banra, have you seen Ambell?" Banra hesitated. “I have nothing to say," he said. “Answer me instantly, sir, if you know anything, on your honor as a classmate. Also officer commanding's orders, sir." "His old weakness," answered Banra. "from which you and I tried to save him once. He's in the Blue Dragon Chinese JosBhouse, sir. You know what for. Chance has led him there. I tried to stop him, hut you know his fondness for opium." "That yellow rat,” hissed Delmore under his breath, "If I get a hold of his dirty, yellow neck I'll choke him." Then to Banra: "Very good, sir," he said. "Report our conversation." And, saluting, they passed on. "Squad! Forward! March!" Tramp tramp, tramp, tramp, the squad swiftly approached the josshouse. "Squad! Attention! Remain so i Write to Junior Star Dear Children: The Junior Evening Star will print bright, interesting letters and original short stories not exceed ing 150 words in length. Write in ink and on one side of the paper only. EDITOR JUNIOR STAR. until further orders or a shot." Say ing this Delmore strode up the dark stairs, a fine picture of a typical American. His firm gray eyes angrily looked forward: his eyelashew snapping, his whole attitude one of anger. Thump! In answer to his summons Cham Le appeared. "What wantee?" l>e inquired. "Opium?" and his palms opened and closed suggestively. Delmore angrily grabbed the Oriental’s wrist and spun him around. "You, dirty, yellow rat.” he hissed. “Where’s Ambell? For two pins I’d shake the life out of your good-for nothing skin.” The Chinaman's eyes narrowed, his hands worked convulsively; he gnashed his teeth. "Answer quick,” yelled Delmore. pressing a pistol to the Chinaman's breast, while the Chinese occupants angrily arose, their narrow eyes glint ing dangerously. "In there," answered Cham Le. “He just come. He no smoke yet. You let him go?" "Can’t, orders to arrest," said Del- . more. At this the Chinese, who understood English, jab bered it to the others in their native tongue, at which several stood de terminedly by the door of the room Ambell was in. as if to protect him.
