WHO Is there under the sun, moon or
stars "who at one time or another
hasn't differed from that well-meaning
but quite Impossible person, the tactless
hostess? And the pity of the affair Is
that she Is silch a good-hearted person, so
anxious to please, bo determined that her
truest shall have what she considers a
thoroughly good timet
The whole trouble lies In her particular
Interpretation of the term "(rood time,"
and perhaps also In the fact that sho
manifests n Btrnngo Inability to allow
peoplo to follow their own dovlces, but
must perpetually Interfere and substitute
her own special plans for their edifica
tion. Everything can bo overdone, and tho
tactless hostess generally overdoes tho
entertaining part of tho business. I have
stayed In houses for week-end parties
where not flvo minutes were left unac
counted for. The hostess had mapped out
a line of action for tho entertainment of
her guests and this was as rigid as tho
laws of tho Medes and Persians, it Bim
ply had to be carried out. Thcro was no
possible chance of escape.
Onie upon a tlmo I spent what might
have been a very delightful holiday In
tho north of Scotland, but owing to tho
strenuous program
of the hostess It
proved a veritable
nightmare. If It had
not been that I was
too young n girl
then to know how
to retire from an
Impossible situation
gracefully I should
havo left long be
fore tho fortnight
was up. But not be
ing sumdently well
versed In tho hand
ling of diplomatic situations at that time,
and having accepted the Invitation for a
two weeks' visit, I stuck manfully to my
post.
The hostess of tho house party had
mapped out a program calculated to make
an athlete quail, much more a 15-year-old
girl who was still at tho growing period.
AV stayed In a largo old-fashioned house
on iho shores of loch Tay, In a perfect
ly beautiful little highland village called
Klllln. Tho month was April, and any
one who has stayed In the north of Scot
land during that period of the year knows
that tho weather may bo anything from
one end of the barometer and the ther
mometer to the other. Glorious sunshine

KHAKI-KOOL THE NEWEST FABRIC
FOR AUTOMOBILE TOGGERY
THEItE ore, perhaps, a
good many families who
are foregoing the usual trip
to the seashore on account
of economy, prudence or
some other equally urgent
reason. The substitute for
this is often a week-end au
tomobile trip, supplemented
by Innumerable little all-day
drives through the sur
rounding country. A woman
needs a good, practical mo
toring costume for trips In
a machine. I might aay
that It is almost Impossible
to look well after an all
day's ride. Dust la bound
to fly all over one, necessi
tating the use of some ma
terial which will shake out
readily This closely but
toned auto cloak is one of
the best styles for motor
ing purposes which I have
seen this season.
The material of which It
Is made Is this season's In
novation, named: khakl-kool.
a, sort of cross between reg
ular Palm Beach cloth and
linen, absolutely Impervious
to dust The coat is made
in quaint postillion style,
with a cape collar and wide
belt. The lines of the body
are straight, and the belt
la wide, with patch pockets
at either side of It. The
basic la plain, with no trim
ming except the wide col
lar, which ripples slightly at
the shoulders. The skirt of
this coat Is gored to give a
suggestion of fulness at the
bottom of the coat The
buttons are tsn, in ball
style.
This same coat may be
made In pongee for motor
and street wear. It la es
sentially practical, as I said
before, and would look well
In the evening-, too Tha
high collar may be turned
back, of course, like those
shown before this season.

Tho latter was generally what hnppened,
If I recollect- aright Our hostess, a
sturdy voting woman, ho belonged to
half a dozen athletic clubs, was a lead
ing light of tho Soottnh .Mountaineering
Society and hnd carried off half a f
rowlnit and swimming cups, InrlMod tliat
all .her guests DC wnKeneu m ,o ,
to start "bright and eirlj" on a siren
uuus day Although the start certainly
wns early, I question tho first of these
adjectives Thero was very little bright
ness about that awakening for me.
The ground, I recollect, was frozen
hard each morning. Tho buii certainly
shone, but It was a very chilly and un
satisfactory sun,
and the little house
party, rounded up
by our Indefatigable
hoslcss, set oft for
the lake. Hroakfast-
less, and for two
solid hours, we took
it In turns to row
tho heavy boat. It
didn't matter
whether the morn
ing was freezing or
not, wo all wero com
mandeered to Joint
And oh, how I hated; ttl
During breakfast, a complete program
would be mapped out for tho day. 'W
40-mllo bicycle ride would be arranged to
take placo before lunch, and tho moment
wo had returned from this protracted
exercise, and lunch hnd been partaken of,
we would have to sally forth once moro,
to Bpend a. long afternoon In some form
of mountaineering In tho evening every
one had to walk at least five miles. Just to
show that thcro was no fatigue after tho
day's work!
And all this entertainment was arranged
for by our hostess I recolloct that on
tho sixth day one of tho men of the party
went home He said that Important busi
ness called him But we all had our sus
picions that ho went homo for a long so
journ In bed The poor man was quite
worn out.
Although wo were all Invited to that
houso again the following Easter, curi
ously enough no ono accepted the Invita
tion! Our hostess was sadly disappointed
"It Is such a pity that nono of you on
come!" sho said mournfully, "for we all
had such a wonderful tlmo last year! I
am dreadfully sorry!"
But strango to say, no one shared tho
omotlon, or gavo a Blnglo sigh of disap
pointment oer what wo wero likely to
miss.

BABY CLINIC BABEL
OF POLYGLOT WAHS
Infants' Mothers Receive Sound
Advice From Nurses at
Fourth and Green.
"Glug, glugl" "Wow, wowl" Tah,
yah!"
A polyglot Jargon of Infantile yells
smites tho air In the vicinity of 4th and
Green streets overy Tuesday and Thurs
day at 2 In tho nftcrnoon, when tho baby
cllnlo Is held In ehrlll linguistic Jabs,
chubby joungstors voice their protests
In Lithuanian, German, Italian, Yiddish
and sometimes In plain American at tho
Indignity of being undressed down to
their llttlo "shlmmy-shlrts" before so
many spectators
No one pays any attention to their
protests. ' They are undressod, Just tho
same; they ore put on tho scales strug
gling fearfully part of tho time, and
their weight Is entered In the book,
whero Miss Wilson, tho nurso In lmme
dlato charge of this clinic, keeps a, rec
ord of the condition of nil of her llttlo
charges.
Most of them are healthy babies duo
to the fact that tho aim of the baby
cllnlo Is to be preventive rather than
curative. Tho surprising part of it all
Is tho eagerness with which many of the
mothers, reared In tho "old country,"
where outside Interference with one's
bamblnos Is hotly resented, clutch at
tho opportunity to bring their youngsters
to a place whero such expert advice in
baby loro can bo obtained gratis.
"Don't shako your baby up and down,"
said Miss Wilson, admonlshlngly, yester
day to a young mother who was trying
to qulot her gurgling flrst-born by an
acrobatic process; "It Isn't healthful
for It."
This was now advice, aurely. Who
ever heard of not shaking one's baby?
But what Miss Wilson says at the cllnlo
Is dogma, and though her ancestors had
shaken their babies for generations with
out end, that mother decided then and
there to discard tho old methods In fa
vor of the now, since her erstwhile puny
youngster was developing into ouch a
healthy specimen.
It's a proud set of mothers, Indeed,
who show up on these cllnlo days. Some
of them are simply laden with tables,
babies In the arms, babies tugging at
the maternal skirts and babies toddling
along In the rear.
The clinic Is a big affair at 4th and
Green streets, Just Ilka Sunday afternoon,
and one for which It is meet that the
very best clothes an infant possesses
should be put on him. In fact, one mother
had deemed this an occasion of such Im
pressive ceremony that her 10-weeks-old
girl baby wore her christening robe. The
china blue eyes of another glistened with
pride In the consciousness of tho fresh
pink rosettes on Its bonnet and tho pearl
necklace encircling Its tiny throat.
The visitor at one of these clinics Is
almost sure to notice the absence of
teething rings, messy nursing bottles and
unclean gee-gaws such as many mothers
give their children to chew on. This lack
la a result of the comprehensive Instruc
tive work which the city nurses have car
ried Into the homes of these mothers.
Sometimes when a mother Is very, very
now to America, and hasn't had her eyes
opened to the foolishness of some of the
old customs, it Is no unusual thing for
the nurse to find a baby dona up aa tight
as a little mummy In swaddling clothes I
Oft they must come Instanter, for what
baby could survive a Philadelphia sum
mer In awaddllns clothes?
This Isn't all, either. Often when
times are hard and money Is tight and
milk, even at S cents a quart, Is beyond
the reach of some, the mother frantically
wonders what she can feed her baby ore.
If she gives It anything that happens to
be In the house, even If It Is tea or coffee,
who will blame her? The nurse doesn't,
but she carefully investigates and if the
family Is too poor to supply tha wee mem
ber with the necessary milk, the city
comes to the rescue, so that, these young
sters will grow into splendid, desirable
cltlxens.

Her Days in the Creation of Portraits True

A PEEP, one of theso sunny June days,
Into the studio of Allco Mumford
Itoberts, well-known artist and portrait
painter of Philadelphia, would doubtless
reveal her busily engaged on a canvas,
working In with her artist's skill the last
few' delicate touches of color, which
sums up with remarkable hardiness and
vigor the life-sized Image of Henry It.

dent of the Board of Education, president
of the Free Library and admiralty
lawyer.
Mrs Itoberts is a devotee of the style
of Velasquez, and In this, 'nor latest pro
duction, sho has emulated his example by
her splendid matohlng of values' and In
tensity of aspect, making one feel In the
presence of tho portrait as In the pres
ence of tho living.
"When completed," she said, "It Is to
bo one of a group of Ilfe-slzed portraits
which will be placed In th6 new Free
Library to be built In the future In the
Parkway,"
Alice Mumford Roberts Is tho daugh
ter of Mrs. Mary Mumford, tha publicist.
She studied art here and abroad, spending
three years In Paris and one In Spain.
She studied under Whistler, but remarks,
"I nccredlt my development and real in
sight Into baslo principles and values to
Joseph De Camp, of Boston, a lifelong
friend and most eminent of American
artists," She never sketches, as Is tho
custom with most painters, but conceives
the work as a whole and goes to work In
the spirit of staking or losing all.
She lives in an old-fashioned house In
what at ono tlmo waa the centre of Phila
delphia activities, near Spruce and 7th
streets. There with her little flaxen
haired daughter, Penelope, who seemed
the very embodiment of sunshine as she
plays around the hlgh-celllnged old studio,
she spends hours each day at her work,
"Portrait painting," she continued, "la
extremely fatiguing. Tha artist must, or
at least I always aim to, keep the sitter
entertained and at the same time con
centrate every energy on the image I am
endeavoring to Interpret and portray, I
spend on an average six houra a day at
my easel My recreation and rest con
sist in long walks and frequent digs into
my little garden, which Is about as big
as a pocket Handkerchief. The little
vegetation that is apparent, however,
represents much labor and a great deal
of coaxing. Part of tho small plot which
Is now our garden was once upon a time,
years and years ago, the floor of an Ice
cream parlor. It Is a very pretty piece
of mosaic work, and has 'lqo cream' de
signed In the centre, which Is a bit of
grandeur. In the eyes of Penelope, whlih

ho would not consider tho proposition.
They said they would nover consent to

UNION CITT, Pa., June 3.-The
patriotic associations of tho women a
liberty bell with the suffrage movement
will bo explained today by speakers
traveling with the bell at mass-meetings
In Wnterford, Cambridge Bprlngs and
Saegertown. Meadvllle will bo reached
In the evening.
Flvo hundred persons stood In the rain
at a meeting In this city yesterday a
crowd said to have been the largest that
ever assembled here at an outdoor
meeting.
Among those who spoke wero Dr. Mary
Wolf, Slate chairman of tho Pennsyl
vania Suffrage Finance Committee; Miss
Louise Hall, director of tho bell tour,
and Mrs. II. Neely Fleming, county chair
man of Erie and vice president of tho
State Suffrage Association.
Mrs. Fleming was heartily applauded
when she said "the State that has Inde
pendence Hall, the original Liberty Bell,
nnd that wns tho first In the abolition
movement should be tho first of tho
17 original States to enfranchise Its
women. 1 believe that the men of Penn
sylvania In honor to themselves will glvo

vember." Do You Like Honey?
To many parsons tho tasto of honey Is
not agreeable, and to such tho uso of It
will not appeal nt all, Yot thoro aro ways
It can bo utilized In cooking not dreamed
of by tho average housewlfo, which mako
a very agreeable change from tho usual
sugar sweetening.
Statistics ngreo that every person, men
women and children, consumes yearly 85
pounds of sugar. Yet for porfect health,
not moro than 3 or 4 ounces should bo
tho dally allowance. Of course, with
young peoplo, a largo proportion of their
Co pounds reaches tho stomach In tho
form of cahdy, which Is not any too good
a food In Its present commercialized form.
For children, particularly, honey ns a
sweet Is much bettor than sugar. Besides
tho usual confections made- of honey,
nougat, Turkish dessert, paklava, and
honoy and nuts, thero are many ways
It can bo used In cooking. Why not honoy
In tho centre of bolted apples, combinod
with raisins, or used with stowing fruits
of various klnds? As honoy has the
powor of absorbing moisture from the air,
any cakes or bread baked with honey
keeps better and more moist and less
likely to dry out. Honoy can also bo used
on various cereals or on broad, especially
the wholo wheat and brown variety.
Think of tha splendid snack for a. young
ster that a generous sllco of wholo wheat
bread and phoney makes I
In preserving and canning, honey may
also bo used In place of various syrups.
Its subtle flavor and hoalthfulness rec
ommend It As to expense, while It may
seem that honoy is dearer than sugar,
less of It need bo used, so that thero Is
little ultimate difference In price, espe
cially with sugar at the curront market
figure.
Many housekoepers do not know the
right placo in which to store honey, and
unthinkingly put It In tho cellar or a
dark, cool place. On tho contrary,. honey
should always bo kept In a dry, warm
place, oven at 100 degrees. If kept In a
damp place, the "capplngs" of tho comb
becomo watery and tho honey oozea
through, but If tho comb Is kept whero
tho air Is warm and dry, It will remain
In moro porfect condition. Owing to tho
strictness of national food regulations,
thero Is practically no danger nowadays
that honey Is daulterated, and tho
housewlfo who finds a reputable standard
brand need havo no fear.
Mr. Snail Proves
SLOWLY and laboriously, patient Mr.
Snail pulled his houso down the gar
den path. Daintily ho stopped and rested
till 'aa should be refreshed, ready for an
other step or two. "This Is such a flno
day," ho exclaimed to himself. "Sunshine,
fresh air, flowers, fragrance It Is flno to
be alive on a day like this!" His halr
llke little antcnao reached around In
front of him, back and forth, up and
down, and reported to him about the
agreeable sights to bo seen and tho
pleasant smells to be smelled.
"Almost would I like to visit with
some one for a while," said the snail
to nimseir. "mat was most pleasant
meeting tnat lituo Tittle-Mouse back
thero a ways; now I would like to In
crease my acquaintance further. This
surely Is a day for visiting, If thero
ever was one." But, though he looked
most carefully around, not a creature
was to be seen, and he Boon drew back
his dainty feeler and crept on.
He had not gone very far, however,
till there landed on his back with an
awful thud a heavy body a great heavy
body, that quite tumbled the poor little
snail over sideways. "Dear met Dear
mol" ho thought In fright "What in tho
world Is happening? Does somebody
want to kill me? But no, if they did, they
wouldn't go about it that wayl Does
somebody want to sit on me? But no,
why should they do that? What In the
world has happened?"
While he was asking himself these
many questions he drew his' body tight
Into tho deepest recesses of his shell,
and there rne stayed till, when there
was not another sound or moyement,
he decided It was safe to peep out and
see what tha matter could have been.
Slowly and with great care he slipped
down Inside his shell home till he was
quite close to the ground. Then he
waited a minute. Nothing happened,
so he raised the front end of the shell
a tiny, tiny crack and listened. And
what do you suppose ho heard? Oh,
you never could guess!
He heard Mr. Garden Toad talking
In his crossest voice, and ne was say
ing; "Well. I guess that will do for
a while, That last hop oughtUo make
me thin, If anything will,"

A Persian Love Song
Ah, sad are thoy who know not love,
But far from passion's tears and smiles.
Drift down a. moonless sea boyond
Tho silvery coasts of fairy Isles.
And sadder thoy whoso long lips
Kiss empty air, and nover touch
The dear warm mouth of thoso they love
Waiting, wasting, suffering much.
'I
But olear as nmber, fine as musk,
Is llfo to those, who, pllgrlm-wlse,
Move hand in hand from dawn to dusk
Each morning nearer Paradise.
Oh, not for them shall angel pray,
Thoy stand In overlasttng light,
Thoy walk In Allah's smllo by day
And nestle In his heart by night
Thomas Balloy Aldrlch.
Where Soda Helps
The housekeeper will find pure baking
soda a great help In tho household. Used
with cream of tartar It makes an excel
lent baking powder. A pinch of soda
added to boiling green vegetables Im
proves their flavor and helps to preserve
their green color. A llttlo soda added to
beans when cooking makes them soft and
sweet A pinch of bicarbonate of soda
put In milk that Is slightly soured will
restore Its sweetness. Tinware boiled
with somo baking soda will assume a fine
brilliancy and will not tarnish so easily.
Himself a Friend
What ever can hn mpnn?" tu annii
thought. " 'That lost hop' was ho the
creature who tumbled mo over? I
thought ho was a friend of mlne7 And
why does ho want to be thin? Doesn't
ho know that he Is so handsome as 'no
ls7 I think I had better Inquire Into
this matter."
So, with all of his usual dignity (and
a llttlo moro thrown In for good meas
ure), the snail raised the top of his shell
a tiny bit moro and remarked politely;
"May you continue to be the most beau
tiful creature in tho wholo garden."
"What's that?" Inquired the toad, as
ho whirled around to see who was talk
ing. Tho snail repeated Ws wish, and ths
toad huffed and blew himself up big
and fat with pride. He forgot for the
moment about being thin, "But what
is this I hear about hopping making you
thin? I hopo it never will."
"You hope I never will grow slender
nnd tnln again?" exclaimed the toad.
"But I want to get thlnl I'm so fati
now that even the flies make fun of
mel I'm trying my hardest to get Blen
der again." '
"So unnecessary! So unnecessary!" re
plied tho snail quietly, "They merely
say that because they are jealous. You
want to stay Just an you aro!"
And Mr, Garden Toad was so happy
to hear such advice that he stayed ft
friend of the snails forever,
