Today's Suggestion by Ellen Stan. JUMPER DRESS FOR 8CHOOL. WHETHER children wear wash frocks of gingham, ehambray or linen or woolen ones of clmllls, nlbntross or henrlettn, the Jumper dresa Is still popular. The drftlgn Illustrated has the panel effect In front and back of the wnlst. which carries out the prevailing mode of long, straight lines, and the tucks on either side break the otherwise plain look across the front and back. Stitched trimming bands of self material are still popular for children's clothes. Doubtless this Is due to the fact that no aaauiuum wjkuui ture Is necessary for trimming and that they nre al ways pretty when finished. Too much cannot be said In favor of the sepa rate gulmpe, wheth er it be of tub ma terial or that match ing the dress, for In either case It may be frequently chang ed, and thus the lit tle one will be kept looking fresh nnd neat. This pattern pro vides for an extra gulmpe, which Is perfectly plain. If tucks are wanted In the yoke, they should be made In the material before It Is cut out When the gulmpe Is made of the dress materi al, two or three ex tra ones should be planned so that they may be used when one becomes soiled and It Is nec essary to send it to the cleaners. The pattern pro vides for a deep hem, which In case . of necessity may be let down and faced, but some mothers prefer to add sev eral tucks just above the top of the stitching and use this as a means of lengthening the skirt Instead of let ting down the hem. The body of this jumper is in ono piece. The pattern is ctit lu three slzes-for children from one to five years of age. . To copy It for child three years of age requires 2 yards of material 80 Inches wide or 1 yards 44 inches wide. Any reader of this paper who desires to secure this pattern may do so by ending 10 cento to this office. Give the number, 4151, state size desired and Write the full address plainly. The pattern will be forwarded promptly by mall. Fka R.mnanta. A country storekeeper,- a pair of long, bright shears lu hand, calmly rut a roll of silk Into remnants. "Women," he explained to his city co us hi, "are remnant mad. There are women who never buy except at rem nant sales.

Bt. Louis Republic. The Queerest Salad. ' A gourmet as he mixed a salad of chicory said: "The world's queerest salad, and possibly its most delicious one, is eaten by the Inolts of northwest Greenland. It is a salad of undigested moss from the stomach of a fresh killed reindeer, a bitter, sharp, stim ulating salad, as good for the diges tion as an electrical massage. The Inolts live almost exclusively on fish; faence salads are n favorite dish with them. Rut no salad In their minds compares with that which they wrest from tho slaughtered reindeer. They Bay this salad Is crisper, tenderer and more appethlug than any other, and they say it wards off Indigestion. They fight for It, they spend their last penny on it, quite as the Indians do with firewater. "Exchange. Too Much For Him.

Argonaut A PARISIAN RUSE. The Dressmaker's Lure That Ensnared the Americans. Grace Margaret Gould tells in the September Woman's Home Companion some of the ways the rarlslan dress making establishments sell their goods to American women, nere is one ruse that she saw worked in one of the big gest establishments in Tarls: There was a sudden and evident commotion among the employees. "The princess! The princess! She has arrived!" they cried. American eyes began to bulge. Out from a magnificent equipage stepped a regally gowned grand lady, attended by footmen and maid and re ceived by the whole bowing estab lishment, to the neglect of all other customers. She was in a gracious mood this day and easy to be pleased, praising their past efforts and select ing several of their new creations with out regard to cost. After she had made her departure amid like cere monies there was no need of the sales woman bothering her head over. Bug gestlons. Every American woman present wanted a gown copied from the one the princess had bought and she got it after much pleading and at a price far beyond the limit she had set And the point of this fable is this The princess was no princess, but an employee of the house. Every French gown has two prices an American price and a French price. It is needless to say which is the greater price. Along about April the cry goes up, "The Americans are coming!" and then the prices go up too. Along about November, when the Americans have left you might almost say they are giving away gowns, only the Frenchman never does give away anything. Then it is that the French woman in general and the French actress in particular selects her ward robe. The Bad 8pot An Irishman one day was told to put up a signboard on which were the words, "To Motorists This Hill Is Dangerous." Away went Mike with the signboard and placed it at the bottom of a very steep hill. A few days later his em ployer went to see how the board was put up and, finding it at the bottom of the hill, sought and found Mike. "Tou blooming fool!" he cried. "Why didn't you put that sign in the right place?" "Share and ain't It?" .asked Mike. "Don't all the accidents happen at the bottom?" Harper's Weekly. Able to Hear It. Joseph Medlll of the Chicago Tribune was somewhat deaf, although his abil ity at times to hear what was said in an ordinary toue of vuice was fiequeut ly remarked. It is related of hlin that he dropped into the business depart ment of the office oue day to make au Inquiry about something that had oc curred to him, and a young man who had been in his employ ouly a few months undertook iu a loud tone of voice to enlighten bim. "What did you say?" asked Mr. Me dlll, putting his hand to his ear. The young man repeated the ques tion In a still louder voice. "I can't hear you," said the editor. "Oh, chase yourself around the block, you old granny!" muttered the impa tient employee Just above his breath. "I am not an old granny," said Mr. Medlll, turning away, "and I Bhall not chase myself around the block." The fresh young man made imme diate arrangements to say goodby to his Job, but the great editor probably thought that the lesson he had re ceived was sufficient and did not dis turb him.
