THE POPULAR AQUARIUM TABLE
Something quite new in the way of
furniture are the round wicker aquar
ium tables. Some of these have a
deep glass basin set down into the
too Others have an enormous round,
I flat-bottomed bowl, exactly the size
r the top. which stands upright
upon It. Both styles are popular ac
cessories. says the Trenton Daily
State Gazette, among the very latest
Dorch furniture. There is also the
wicker kete-a-tete afternoon tea table,
which consists of a small square-top
table between two cozy, comfortable
. seats' the whole being incorporated
aa one piece of furniture, and so light
frat it can easily be moved from
.Jlplace to \place. The wicker tea cart
if .n(t muifc machine are almost oW
¥ gtorles nop-, but have not loat one
whit In popularity. The latter is es
pecially useful where there are people
who dance and who wish to utilize
their piazza for this purpose. The
music machine has merely to be
placed upon the cart and wheeled out
on the piazza, and then—"on with
the dance."
The housewife who orders at the
door and is away a great deal, would
find this little set of five or six
shelves very convenient. Each shelf
is a foot long and three inches wide.
Hang the little affair in a conspic
uous place by the back door. On one
side label the shelves, laundry, meat,
groceries, milk, etc. Then the order

The Bride's
Own Story
How She Organized a Camp Kitchen.
We took the evening train out to
the "camp," and there I saw exactly
what I had expected to find at home
—the indecent chaos of two men gone
a-housekeeping alone! Near the
lake edge, ideally lovely, is this
strong, rough shack that has been
used for many years as a summer
camp by some business acquaintances
of Bob's. My first Impulse after
taking one look at the interior was to
get into cap and apron at once, clear
up the place, and find out just, how
big it was when uncluttered. But
the trip out and the walk from the
station through the bit of woojjs to
the camp had sharpened our jaded
i town appetites.
“Guess we'll have to sail into those
canned things in the cupboard for
dinner tonight," suggested Bob.' "We
ordered a lot of things from town,
you know, but it will be a day or
two before they come, and X guess
we’ve enough, though I’m half
starved, and I suppose you are, too?"
ho finished rather apologetically.
“Nice host you arc," I teased. "In
viting me to your camp and not hav
ing anything but an all-can meal to
offer. Good thing I brought my own
dinner along," I hinted darkly. My
plot for a specially nice dinner for
our first evening at camp had suc
ceeded, for over in the corner 1 saw
the tireless cooker which I had
shipped out first thing in the morn
ing, and which contained a complete
meal—everything except salad. And
it was a most welcome hot meal to
have in the cool of the evening. Bob
was properly astonished and im
pressed.
"You know, we haven’t cooked a
thing except coffee. 1 suppose we
didn’t know how to manage that oil
stove right, and we didn’t have tlmo
to stand around waiting and watch
ing. We tried broiling a steak one
night, but by the time it was finished
we were too sleepy to do Justice to
it."
V" ell, I don t plan to aura aiuumi
watching any cookery, either," I an
nounced definitely. "But I don't have
to with a combination of oil stove and
tireless, and we can have Just as
much home cooking as we like."
We both pitched into the clearing
up afterward, for goodness knows the
place needed four husky hands. Half
the china and cooking utensils were
taking a vacation after having per
formed at only one meal, incidentally
omitting a bath afterward; the rest
of the china was disposed around the
place In comfortable corners where
a man might drop his cigar ashes
without having to rlae from his chair.
Afterward I interrogated Bob and
tried to scheme out housekeeping ar
rangements in our new quarters. The
rural daily delivery system from the
village doesn’t extend to the out
skirts, but Bob has bribed the local
store to deliver here twice weekly.
That means planning menus one week
ahead In order to have needed sup
plies on hand; also the use of canned
milk, which I’ve ordered In dozen lots
to get a lower price. However, we’re
really not so far out of the world, and
I m determined that we shan't subsist
entirely on canned things, like ship
wrecked travelers on a desert island.
I've sent for one of the small ovens
that set on top of the oil stove for
necessary baking, as the "store" bread
here is particularly vicious, and prob
ably doesn’t improve through being
stale most of the time. Our own
brown bread, which I’ve grown quite
expert In baking, tastes fresh for a
whole week, and there's no reason
why I can't devote a few hours to
baking It weekly.
The only serious difficulty I antici
pate Is In getting the water. I’ve
never been used to any other way
than by turning a tap, and the Idea
of drawing a bucket of water outside
every time you need some for cook
ing or washing purposes doesn’t ap
peal to me very strongly. However,
by using paper for table service, and,
Indeed, for cookery whenever possible,
I think I can reduce dishwashing to
a minimum, and as our wardrobe con
sists chiefly of khaki and bathing
suits, the laundry won’t be so very
complicated,
"Please don’t try to keep house as
though this were a city flat,” cau
tioned Bob, as he watched me finish
a rather formidable list of things to
do. "Remember this is vacation.”
“Tou’ll observe that I remember," I
returned, “because whenever there's a
question of house or fun this time I'll
let house go to smash and let fun
have Its Innings."
Bride’s Bouquet
Bridal bouquets are no longer so
large that they conceal the entire
front of the wedding dress. Elaborate
combinations of two flowers are still
liked, and the shower effect can
hardly be Improved upon. But the
bouquets for the bridesmaid are quite
simple, and usually contain but one
kind of blossom. These may, how
ever, be of many shades. Roses from
pink to pale yellow make an exquisite
combination.
Household Hints
A little turpentine put Into a copper
boiler will help to whiten clothes and
prove an economy both in soap and
labor.
A little vinegar rubbed on the steel
parts of an oven door, no matter how
badly tarnished with the heat, will
brighten it at once.
Lemon Juice added to the water In
which rice is boiled Improves the
flavor and makes it beautifully
white.
To prevent cakes from burning put
two or three layers of thick paper
underneath the tin. To beat the
whites of eggs quickly a pinch of
salt should be added. Salt cools and
causes them to froth rapidly.
Remove acid stains from scarlet,
woolen goods with weak pearl ash
water.
To remove ink stains from silver
use a paste of chloride of lime and
water.
Use naphtha for vermin.
A pinch of gum tragicum in stove
blacking will brighten the polish.
Remove rust from iron sinks with
kerosene, ___

SCEEPYTIME
WHY OWLS HOOT.
Once upon a time In the far West,
there lived on the shores of a lake a
tribe of Indians whose chief had two
sons. Wani was the older hoy. and
Sequa was the younger, and instead
of being like his urother, he was a
delicate lad.
But the heart, of the chief went out
to the slender lad with the pitifully
sad face.
Sequa felt very sad that he was
not a boy of whose hunting his
father could he proud, and the ehief
knew the childish grief. He would
sit for hours by the lake, whistling
in a low mournful note.
One day Wani thought he would
watch to see what his younger
brother did to And amusement by
the pool. So he hid behind a rock
that jutted out into the water. Just
as the sun set Wani heard a peculiar
whistling, and out of the water,
which was beginning to bubble, there
rose a. lovely form of a. mermaid. Her
golden hair hung to her waist, about
which was a girdle embroidered with
pearls.
"You have only one day more to
wait,” said the mermaid* “I prom
ised you that tomorrow eve your
wish would be granted. Be sure to he
here by sunset and bring the bag of
magic, seed.”
"Ho!.' Hn!" laughed Want to him
self, as he sneaked away so Sequa
could not see him. "That younger
brother of mine is getting ready to
play some Ane trick. What a string
of pearls that little maid wore. I
think I can get them.’
The next evening when Sequa set
out for the pool with the hag of seed
on his hack. Wani crept up after him.
Just as the younger lad was about
to set his foot on the old tree trunk
the older one gave him a sharp blow
which knocked him unconscious.
Then Wani took Sequa’s clothing
and magic seed bag and put them on
himself.
He sat on the old trunk and gave
a low whistle, just as If it was Sequa
making the noise. Out of the water
into the sunset glow rose the mer
maid.
"Pour the seed into the water,”
said the mermaid. Wani emptied the
bag into the pool. It began to foam
and boll up with all the colors of
the rainbow.
"You wanted to he strong and
well," said the mermaid, "Now. while
the water is bubbling spring into it
and your desire will he granted, for
it is that of a pure heart."
Now. Wani did not wish to he any
stronger, but he did want the girdle
of pearls, so, not paying any atten
tion to what she was saying, ire
made a grab for the string about the
mermaid’s waist. As he touched it
the cord broke and the pearls fell
splashing into the pool, and after
them tumbled Wani, who had fallen
accidentally.
"I am drowning; save me!” cried
Wani.
Sequa was Just regaining his
senses, and heard his brother’s
despairing cry. Without a thought of
himself, lie sprang Into the poo], ex
claiming: "How r wish I were well
and strong." The magic water hud
its effect, for in a moment the thin
body was full of bending muscles,
and he was able to swim ashore with
the nearly drowned Want.
"So you got your wish, after all,"
smilingly said the mermaid. "You
were brave and noble to save him
when he had treated you so unkindly.
He has broken my string of sacred
pearls, and they are scattered all
over the pool. I will see that he
looks for them forever."
Bo, throwing some water on the
frightened Wani, she said some
strange words. A mist rose out of
the pool and floated over the two
hoys.
"You whistled to me as if Sequa
were calling," continued the mer
maid, "Now, you shall whistle no
more—you shall hoot, hoot, hoot all
night long at the moon, and see only
by night, and you will never find the
pearls, for you will be blind in the
daylight—you shall be an owl!"
And so he was. For as Sequa ran
home In the glow of the evening a
boy full of life and strength, an
ugly old owl flapped Its wings mourn,
fully and sailed away to the forests.

Wire Closets
A wire cupboard for the kilchpn or
pantry is a great convenience, it is.
of course. Impervious to files and
therefore is useful to holding wafers,
cereals and other food in summer
food which does not, however, need to
be kept In a refrigerator. It is also
impervious to the attacks of mice and
la useful in the autumn when the
mice sometimes make their way into
the house from out of doors. These
wire cupboards made of a wooden
frame over which wire screening Is
fastened, come in various sizes at
various prices.
Adventures
in Matrimony
By I.ennn I>nlryni|)l«.
Calm, Itppp Affection.
She was right. 1 looked back over
the very few years of my married
I life with scant satisfaction. If Mary
had perhaps not known as much of
her job as she should, I certainly had
not shone In I he role, of husband. We
had had many painful times together.
I could see where [ had been arro
gant at times—and as much in fault
in every way as my wife.
I said so.
"Oh, no," said Mary quickly, "I
don't think so, Peter. And every
thing is so much smoother and
quieter now.”
She was right. We had been drift
ing into quieter water without realiz
ing it. And why? At the risk of
antagonizing every woman who reads
this, I am going to say that it was
because we were no longer In love.
We loved each other—surely—but it
was the calm, deep glow of affection
that warmed our lives and not the
turbulence of "in-loveness."
Frier Taken Courage.
As yet I dared not say that to
Mary. Her woman's emotion—her
quick sentimentality would have
plunged us upon the rocks of an
argument in a minute. Tet just an
1 was no longer in love with Mary,
she, even though she failed to realize
it, was not in love with me. We both
loved each other in a way that would
draw us steadily—surely—together as
the years won! by, the passive affec
tion of the mature. What wonder
that men and women quarrelled in
the active turbulence of in-loveness.
It wpa for a time a. sort of erotic
Insanity.
I wondered if in Mary’s gentle mood
of this morning I dared speak of the
last, problem that had reared itself
and threatened my enjoyment of ten
nis and golf.
"There’s something else," I said.
"Mary, 1 do want you to listen with
real pa lienee and try not to feel hurt,
hut—there's tennis and golf, for In
stance. Do you mind my saying that
you play very badly?"
Mary made a wry face.
"No," she said. "I know It, Peter.
I only play to please you.”
"And that," T triumphed, "is just
what- 1 want to speak of. I wonder
if you realize that we may love each
other very dearly without obtruding
upon cat'll other's pastimes." I was
committed to frankness and weni
bravely on. “I love tennis and golf
and play fairly well. Yet whenever
I play I must play with you. And
neither one of us is comfortable. You
don't care for the game and I'm fret
ting for my match in skill—you don't
mind my saying all this, do you?"
"No-o-o-o,” said Mary. “But it's
Just like my coming so much to the
office that time. I—I feel that I want
to be with you all the time. And If
I couldn't Bhare your business hours,
I felt that T must share your hours
of recreation."
"And still-"
"Yes, I know, Peter, I see what
you mean-”
“It's Just a conscious sentimental
ity, dear, that drives you into think
ing that. Surely we may enjoy cer
tain forms of recreation apart with
sanity. And wo needn't care less —
need we?"
"I—I guess you’re right,” said my
wife, "but conscious sentimentality
or not, 1 know she was Just a little
hurt and talked eloquently to soothe
the feeling away. When I had
finished Mary kissed mo on the
cheek."
“All women,” she said, "learn all
sorts of petty renunciation, don't
they. Peter?”
She meant more than she would
explain.
Various Styles
Stvles are so various that it is hard
to generalize. Time was when wo
could say skirts are such and such a
length and so and so wide; sleeves
end at. the elhow or the knuckle, the
waist line is at, such and such a place
and feci that we had reported Dame
Fashion correctly at least. But those
days past, and with the manners
and morals of Rurope all upset, fash
ions show a corresponding agitation
here In America
But, as lias been said, each can se
lect a model suitefl to her taste and
that, after all, is the main thing.
If she likes ruffles she can he treat
ed to whole tiers of them, shirred or
circular, of plain sliff finished or
gandie, or of fine embroidered edgings. I
One of the newest organdie models
New Vork is offering has a skirt
which Is composed of nine circular
flounces of plain white organdie
hound on the edge with a narrow bias
binding of organdie which gives them
nn outstanding effect, says the Pas
saic Daily Record. The flounces
grow wider as they near the bottom
of the skirt, which Is quite ample In
circumference and has somewhat of a
crinoline air about It. The little waist
Is of a quaint bodice shape and the
short sleeves aro composed of three
circular flounces of the bias bound j
organdie.
There Is considerable liking for j
these many flounced skirts in the
summer lingerie models. We, note an
other style of (his sort where plain
organdie is combined with fine em
broidered organdie flouncing. In this
less t xtremn model there were six
flounces of the plain organdie with
the embroidered flounce used as a
sort of underskirt below the last
plain flounce.
Threading Needles
Threading needles is often hard
work for an elderly lady, so try my
method of obviating the difficulty.
Take a spool of thread and on it
thread several needles. Tie a knot in
the end of the thread to prevent, it
slipping off.
When Ihey are wanted for use slip
(he needles on the thread to I hr
length desired and, leaving one on the
thread, break thread off, leaving a
knot In the thread on the spool.
Attractive Coats
ThS little coats and Jackets de
signed in many shapes are,very at
tractive above the full, short skirt.
Very often these coatees are out lri
loose sacque shape, hanging away
from the waistline in graceful effect.
At other times they are cut with
ridiculously short, basques, sticking
out round the waistline, and they
open wide in front to display the
daintiest of blouses.

Removing Paint Stains from a
Raincoat
Dear Miss Doon:
Please let me know through your
column a way to take paint stains out
of a light rubber raincoat.
CECILIA A.
Chloroform is very good as a dry
paint remover. Turpentine rubbed on
the spot will soften the paint and
ether will lake out the spot.
All About Streets
Dear Miss Doon:
Some time ago you published an ar
ticle about the widest street, the nar
rowest and the prettiest street. Will
you publish that article again at your
earliest convenience? ADMIRER.
This is the only clipping i And In
my Ale pertaining to streets:
The highest street in the world is
Main street, Denver; the richest Is
Fifth avenue, New York; the widest.
Market street. In Philadelphia, and
the shortest Is the Rue Ble, in Paris.
The dirtiest street is that of Tchang
sti, in Nankin; the cleanest is the
Via Castile, in Seville, Spain; the
most aristocratic one is Urosvenor
place, in London; the most beautiful
is the Avenue des Champs Elysees,
Paris. The narrowest is the Via Sol,
Havana, Cuba, which has a width
of only forty-two inches
John Bird's Yardstick
Dear Miss Doon:
The other day I overheard a re
mark about “John Bird’s Yardstick."
1 have never heard of this particular
yardstick and would be pleased to
have you enlighten me on the sub
ject if you can. CLARENCE.
It was the standard yard measure
ment of Great Britain as constructed
by John Bird (1709-1776). - Bird was
in early life a weaver by trade, but
his remarkable mathematical and
mechanical talent led him in another
direction, and he became the most
celebrated mathematical Instrument
maker of his time and acquired Euro
pean fame.
For his instruments he received
enormous prices from the English
and other governments, and his grad
uated yardstick of 1760 was the
standard yard measure of England
until it was destroyed In the Parlia
ment house Are of 1880. Some of Ills
instruments are still preserved in the
British Museum and others are in
use in continental observatories.
Wedding Cake Boxes
Dear Margery Doon:
Whlrh is the better style, a single
Initial on a wedding cakn box or a
monogram. PUZZLED.
It is really a matter of choice.
Whv not have the last initials of
your name and the bridegroom's
name entwined In a pretty mono
gram? I would like this better than
the plain Initials. If you have tlpt
latter, lei the man’s precede the
girl's. White satin boxes would be
very beautiful, though the fine moire
paper ones are often used. Have the
date in the lower left corner, if you
desire.
Poem Request
Dear Miss Doon:
I am very anxious to obtain a copy
of the poem called "Nobility,” by
Alice Cary. Can you publish same
for me? CAROLINE T.
"NOBILITY.”
True worth Is in being, not seeming—
in doing each day that goes by
Some little good—not in the dreaming
Of great things to do by and by.
For whatever men say in blindness.
And spite of the fancies of youth.
There’s nothing so kingly as kind
ness.
There's nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our meet as we meas
ure—
We cnnnot do wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and gain pleas
ure,
For justice avenges each slight.
The air for the wing of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren.
But always the path that Is narrow
And straight for the children of
men.
t
'TIs not in the pages of story
The heart of its ills to beguile.
Though he who makes courtship to
glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile.
For when from her heights he has
won her, -i
Alas! It Is only to prove
That nothing's so sacred as honor.
And nothing so royal as love!
We cannot make bargains for blisses.
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And sometimes the thing our life
misses,
Helps more than the thing which it
gets. .
For good lleth not In pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small.
But Just in the being, and doing
As we would bo done by. Is all.
Through envy, through mallcs,
through hating.
Against the world, early and late,
No Jot of our courage abating—
Our part Is to work and to wait.
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are leas than hl»
worth;
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes Or birth. 4
PRETTY STYLES FOR THE SUMMER GIRL
For girls new and original French
styles answer nicely. One little froelt
of black and white checked woolen
material Is gathered at the waistline
twice over cords.
The skirt hem is out in petal-like
scallops and flatly piped with rod
taffeta. The upper part, bloused a
bit, is gathered into shallow shoul
der yokes. Short set in, slightly full
sleeves have three little scalloped
ruffles like the skirt edge. The neck
line Is cut out in a V and the edges
are rolled over and faced with red;
this space filled in with a little
chemisette of net with a standup
ruffle and black cravat. Two straps
detach themselves from the front of
the blouse, cross each other and but
ton hack to the bloused part with
two big red disk buttons.
Another frock of blue poplin had
oo sleeves of the poplin, so writes a
Peoria Star contributor. Instead, a
title underblouse of white handker
chief linen waH worn, the sailor col
lar coming ovor the round yoke of
the poplin in front and falling in
deep points In the hack. The sleeve*
were elbow length, full and gathered
into n little turned back cuff, which,
like the collar, had a little vinelike
embroidery In red linen floss near
the edge. The skirt gored and slight
ly gathered into a three-inch belt of
the poplin, had two taffeta bias folds
spaced on the lower part. Big red,
flat, seml-polished buttons were
spaced from each shoulder, sloping
in slightly toward the belt.
A coat of gray cashmere comes
nearly to the knees. It is slightly
doublo breasted, flares Into godet
folds and Is caught in by a broad
belt, a little below the waistline.
The sleeves are set In with turned
back cuffs: a small rolled over collar
can he turned up or down. This coat,
is trimmed with checked silk in an
odd way. The ends of the collar and
the ends of the belt seem to be
turned over backward to show a fac
ing of the checked material. Four
large buttons are covered with the
checked silk; the coat Is lined with
the silk and a little sailor hat covered
with it. _ ,
Sleep and Poetry
An exchange recommends the read
ing of n flue soul-felt poem before re
tiring for the night's rest. It tends
to compose the soul a.nd put it in har
mony with the truth and goodness of
things. A novel will not do that, nor
a newspaper, nor anything that sets
the mind in a flutter. Reading a poem
—one of the good old kind that gets
into the heart and has a nice time
there—is like floating down a quiet
stream, past the fragrance of flowers
and the songs of the birds, writes a
contributor to the Reading Herald.
Never had that experience, eh? How
very shiftless. Indeed.
Did you ever try reading "Snow
bound" on an evening when the snow
was piling up the "silence deep and
white?" Well, try it. Whittier will
give one something for any evening.
Tennyson’s "rdyis" are a little more
urgent, hut they are as tranquillzlng
as a gentle arm around you. Words
worth is great, but takes too much
thought; Browning, too, and Lowell,
hut Longfellow not so much. But as
easy as smiling is the humorous kind,
like Riley. But there are hundreds of
poems floating about as sweet as a
bush of roses. Take them in and read
them before going to bed, A good
one will last a week. Like a song,
they,Improve with age.
Color Schemes
When following out. a color schema
in furnishing a room, a little touch of
an entirely different but harmonizing
color produces an excellent effect.
This was hrought. out. by a profes
sional decorator who was discussing
ilia furnishings of her own home.
One room which was furnished In
green and hud a green velour couch
cover was especially noteworthy, says
Hie Pittsburgh Dispatch. "The room
needs something to break the monot
ony," she said, "and some pillows
Wlth a hit of old rose coloring will
do It."
A bedroom where the color scheme
Is blue and white is attractive, but
requires another color to give it
warmth.
A straight color scheme is easy
enough for anyone to carry out, but
it calls for considerable skill to make
ir distinctive, as in the practical ap
plication a little variety is usually
necessary lo make the furniBhings
really charming.
Taking Care of the Eyes
It is undoubtedly true that we do
not. take sufficient care of our eyes.
The eye is too delicate an organ, how
ever, to he subjected to haphazard
treatment. A sudden change from
verv bright light to darkness should
lie avoided, and if the eyes are weak
the prevailing color In the room In
which one spends most of the lime
should be some tint that is helpful to
the eyesight.
Do not read while lying down, w-hen
rocking or when in a car.
Do not use the eyes before break*
fast, and do not read or sew in the
sun, hut let a good, strong light fall
over your right shoulder.
Hold whatever you read on a level
with the eyes, and do not bend over
your book, or paper,—Exchange.
_
Fewer Utensils
Having reduced the number of
utensils needed the next point is to
have them within reach. Some fortu
pate housewives have one of the
various convenient kitchen cabinets,
hut many others could not find room
for one if it was given to them, as
in the case of (he apartment kitchen
ette or larger kitchen with wall space
all broken by doors and windows.
Provide a hook for everything that
can be hung and have them all in
that part of the room where they
arc to be used. The present-day
kitchen is neither a dining nor sit
ting-room nor a laundry; it is merely
a place to prepare food In and the
utensils need not lie stored away in
the drawers or behind doors to pro
tect them from dust.
Paint Your Towel Racks
If towel racks in kitchen and hath*
rooms are not nickeled, carefully
paint them with at. least two coats
of white enamel paint, to avoid tha
possibility of iron rust as well'as for
general cleanliness.
