"rpHBnn are as Rood fth In the sea
' JLas ever were caught." This dear
old bromide Is on the lips of every ama
teur consoler of nniatery misery. Tlie
moment that she or tie who tip to trow
has supplied the Illumination of your life
at a much flattery ami petting per hour
coes oft for nn evening's conviviality with
sdme one otse, Job's comforters are all
on the Job with thin cobwebby platitude.
Just let US try brushing the cobwebs
f'ora the classic maxim and see If the
stuff In It be moldy
or good to consume
for the soul's weal.
Perhaps you havo
met tho man who
Is now the npplo
of your eye at n
dance, let Us say,
and his smile was
so contagious and
had so much of
sympathy and ad
miration In It that
you agreed to tako dinner with him on
tho evening of the succccdlnR Wednes
day. At that little dinner, ,n Rnstrle poem, he
had anticipated each condiment and di
vined somehow the particular brand of
Ice cream jotl favored Ills travel tales
Impressed o and oil were not loath to
repeat an ociaslon so auspicious.
And so tho little dinners and little
theatre twosomes urcw Into an Institu
tion In which hands were sometimes
held and earnest avowals sometimes
mado In hushed accents. Seeing him
ls-a-vl3 with you nt tabic, Imagination
paled at tho thought of losing him, for
he had become Indispensable, a kind of
placid, comfortable mirror that showed
you ns sou liked yourself and could not
well be lost or broken.
But tha drend event happened. You
had evidence of tho defection In tho word
of a kind friend who hastened to you
upon observing him In tho baleful res
taurant gay In tho company tf another
maid.
And so you determined tf aims'h the
accustom! mirror whose! back was
nulcksllwr, a fickle element. A cold
something enveloped your hrt nml took
tho courage out of your knees, nnd sleep
was tlllllcutt after you have groaned
aloud, "Donel Finished!"
"TIs next day when your confidants
begin to employ the balm thst I sup
posed to lie in mo
previously mention
ed piscatory par
allel. Hut let us think.
Have you ever con
sidered the limited
rnngo of focus of
one Individual? Fix
ing our lovo-laden
glance on the per
son who his nn op
tion on our heart,
tho rest of tho sex
Is nonexistent for
us. Wo nro totally
unable to concelvo
of another In a
world ofj,a trillion
residents T supplying
the place of tho late lamented one But
Is this not a want of proper pcrepcetlo
on our part? Should not fancy teach us
to bcl'cvo and hope bid us to look for
that other who may bo not only ns fond
and as noble and handsome as tho one
wo hao lost, but haply havo theso quali
ties In ctccbs of the mourned one?
Tho old glove fitted us so comfortably
and served us well, but let uh not for
get tlint every old glove has its fellow
The new glove In time becomes soft and
smooth with those associations which are
the dearest attributes of friendship.
And yet we pcrpetunlly hear tho
despairing cry of tho poor unplillosophlc
sufferei on tho nandt of love, who, con
sumed with envy nt tho rich catch of his
rival, does not pcrcclvo the fathomless,
spreading sweep .of that ocean In which
"there nro as good fish as ever wcio
caught."
HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ON
THESE BUL
Chill a pitcher of freshly made tea of
the desired strength, sweeten with ornngo
syrup Instead of sugar, being careful not
to get too sweet. Then squeeze In enough
" lemon Julco to glvo It a llttlo bitterness
nnd set on Ice ngaln to get thoroughly
chilled. Havo ready a bowl of chopped
Ice, n bowl of vanilla Ico cicnm and tho
cold tea. Fill a dainty glass a third full
of Ice, pour on tea until It Is two-thirds
full and then drop a spoonful of Ico cream
on top and pass with a nut wafer or deli
cate cake,
A Portland woman stood on her back
porch recently sousing a stiff silk skirt
up and down In n bath of gasollno con
tained In a gahanlzcd bucket, when In a
flash tho skirt burst Into flames.
The womnn escaped with scorched
arms and bruises, tho latter caused by
falling down tho steps backward in her
fright and endeavoring to get awny from
tho flames,
Tho explanation was offered that the
crackling silk generated electric sparks
and set flro to tho gasoline. Anyhow, tho
Incident proved to a. neighborhood that
gasoline can ignlto without being brought
neatjfa light, nnd that stiff silks should
not bo rubbed or swished violently In a
caiollnc bath.
Boil In n quart of water for an hour
two sliced potatoes, a sliced carrot, a
sliced turnip and an onion In ?i of an
hour add two tomatoes, or a cupful of
canned tomato, and n minced green
ptpper. Add boiling water If necessary,
so that a quart will remain nt tho end of
the hour. Season with salt and sweet
herbs, strain, add a teaspoonful of mush
ropm ketchup and serve.
SUMMER DAYS
Cut oft tho very tips of asparagus
stall.s Cut the remainder of tho stalks
Into half-Inch lengths nnd bolt. Tut the
tips In a wire strainer and, when the
stalks havo been boiling In salted water
for half an hour, steam tho tips over tho
stalks for another half hour. Then press
the stalks through a vegetable press with
tha water In which they were boiled It
should bo only enough to keep them from
burning. Mix with hot milk, thicken
slightly with cornstarch or flour mixed
smooth In a little cold milk, season with
salt nnd paprika, add n tablespoonful of
butter, ndd the steamed tips and serve.
Soak over night In one quart of water
to which two tcaspoonfuls of salt havo
been added, one pound of thoroughly
washed calf's brains Add one well
beaten egg, and mix all thoroughly to
gether with un egg beater. Molt In fry
ing pan one tablespoonful of butter, and
add tho brain mixture, cooking slouly,
llko scrambled eggs
Whlto shoes In tho city were onco con
sidered In bad taste, but not so now;
und this summer there are some -thnt are
especially suitable to the city streets.
These combine whlto canvas with black
soles They aro neater and severer than
thoso showing white soles and do not
Bhow tho effect of tho clts's grime. They
havo the added advantage of making the
foot nppcar smaller.
To try to get through tho summer In tho
city without one dark street costumo
would bo difficult Whether this Is a suit
or a frock Is a matter of taste. But If It
Is a frock It may well have a coat effect
In the way of bolero or peplum, and
washable whlto neckwear adds much to
Us daintiness and freshness.
SIMPLICITY EVER THE KEYNOTE OF
FASHIONABLE CHILDREN'S DRESSES
THE llttlo girl or
boy whose sum
mer Is spent at ono
of the Maine resorts
needs warm, prac

of tho shops nre
showing light ba

tumes of all kinds',
but It Is n really
difficult matter to
find a becoming and
useful cloth dress.
Tho pinafore style Is
fashionable for lit
tle folks this season.
Variations of the
same are seen,, such
as Mother Hubbard
dresses, short romp
ing dresses and sim
ilar designs. The
day pf the much
overtrlmmed child's
dress of light china
silk and laces ga

C o m b 1 nation of
two or more mate
rials ia also a. fash

trimming these plain
dresyes. Plaids and
striped materials are
used with a light
tan or blue for ev

Threading needles Is often hnrd work
for on elderly lady, so try my method of
obviating tho dlfllculty. Tako a spool of
thread and on It thread several needles.
Tlo a knot in tho end of tho thread to
prevent It slipping off. When they
are wanted for uso slip tho needles on
the thread to tho length desired nnd,
leaving ono on tho thread, break thread
off, leaving a knot In the thread on the
spool.
Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And ono clear call for mo!
And may there bo no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sen.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out tho
bounding deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that tho dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark.
For though from out our bourne of
Tlmo and Place
Tho flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I havo crossed tho bar.

Ways to Preserve Flowers
The first way Is with sand, and It Is
extremely Important that tho sand bo
absolutely freo from any foreign matter,
nnd this Btato of perfection Is brought
about by repeated wnshlngs. Pour on
water and the foreign matter will rlso
to tho surfiipc nnd then mnj bo skimmed
off. Tho sand should then be dried In
tho sun or In front of a flro. It should
be further treated by heating In the oven
to n high temperature and stirring Into
It a lump of cnndlo wax nbout tho slzo
of the end of one's thumb. If tho sand
Is hot tho wax will melt and will provent
the grains from sticking to tho flowers.
Tho flowers must bo dry beforo being
treated, and tho best results aro with
blossoms of a bright color, such as pan
slcs, roses, geraniums, violets, tulips,
etc. Daisies and asters also como out
well. Whlto flowers usually do not turn
out well by this process. Pour some sand
In n box, then put in n framework of
flno wlro netting and spread out tho
flowers on this, arranging them so that
they do not touch each other. When
thoro aro bells or cavities in tho flowers
pour In some of tho Bnnd to preservo the
shape. Cover entirely with tho sand,
and If desired make ono or two moro lay
ers. Pla-o sand on top. Keep In a dry,
worm place0 for 10 days. Handle with
enro until they have been exposed for an
hour or so to the air. They will keep a
long tlmo and hold their color If kept out
of the sun.
The wnxlng of flowers Is a slmplo and
satisfactory way of preserving them. Or
dinary candles with the wicks removed
may bo melted and used for the purpose,
but caro must bo taken not to use tho
wax on the flowers too hot. It Is again
Important that they bo dry and In a fresh
condition. Dip the flowers In the liquid
wax and move about for a few minutes
to prevent tho formation of bubbles. On
rcmovnl Into the air tho wax will set.
Then treat tho stalk end of tho blossom.
The whole flower will be encased In a film
of wax, which la Invisible, but keeps out
tho air. Tho best effect with wax Is pro
duced with flowers of compact blossoms,
such ns carnations. Tho wax treatment
Is good with white flowers, which cannot
bo treated with, sand.
Tommy Tittle-mouse Starts Exploring
THE morning after Tommy Tittle
mouse had been so frlghtoned about
the bees taking his home, ho wakehed
feeling very bravo and happy. Didn't he
havo much to bo thankful for? Wasn't
he glad to bo safely out of that dismal
cellar where ho had lived so long? And
wasn't he proud of his flno friends in
the garden? Where could anyone find
kinder treatment than he had found? Mr.
Garden Toad so kind and thoughtful,
Billy Ttobln so considerate and even the
oak treo fairies, wnom he had nev"er
seen, Bavlng his home for him and treat
ing him with such consideration. He wag
very happy.
"And now today," he said to his little
mate, "I think I will be real brave and
learn something more about this nice
garden where we live. As soon as I am
through helping, you this morning, I
mean to explore and learn a great deal."
"Oh, dear. Tommy, you are brave!"
exclaimed his little mate; "but please
don't do an thing rash!"
As ti matter of fact, Tommy didn't In
tend to do anything rash nothing was
further from his thoughts and Intentions,
but he was comfortably flattered to hear
that his mate thought he might be reck
less. Nothing Is more satisfying than to
be thought more brave and reckless than
you really arel
"Never fear! Never fear, little mate,"
replied Tommy considerately; "I will be
very careful. Don't you remember that
kind Mr. Garden Toad told us only last
evening that the garden was now safe
and comfortable? That there was no
danger that could come to me? It seems
to me that now, while everything ia so
safe, is the best tlmo for me to look
about and learn as much as I can. But
I will be careful."
Mrs Tommy, who was so Interested in
her home, in making every nook and cor
ner of the nest Just so fine and smooth,
and in her plans and hopes, could hardly
realize how n)uch Tommy, sitting there
by the front door by the hour, had heard
about the world outside. So, of course,
she could hardly realize how he longed
to see for himself all the things he had
heard about, all the wonders of the out
side world, the world of trees and shrubs
and gardens, the world of Insects unknown
to them, and of flowers and sunshine.
But she was a wise little njate; and when
she saw Tommy wanted to explore, that
he had grown brave enough to look out
for himself In this new. strange world,
she was proud to nave htm go.
With many a word of warning, with
many a promise to return home early.
Tommy started off and went the whole,
long Journey to the hedge at t)w end of
the garden all of 10 long, danjwrous feet
away!
Tommy was. so proud of himself and
hla bravery he wished Mrs Tommy was
there beside him to tell him all over
again that be was a wonderful Tittle
mouse But she wasn't there, eo he had
to uostent hlmMtf with thinking about
hu una courage and with looking around

After Eight Months' Training
She Swims Mile in Schuyl

Good Time Experts Predict
Great Future for Her.
The remarkable progress toward phy
sical perfection attained by llttlo Dorothy
Klump tho last eight months by means
of a course In swimming demonstrates tho
effectual results to bo attnlncd by this
exhilarating exercise.
This 6-yenr-old tot, falling In health
and a source of worrltncnt to her parents,
showed no signs of Improvement under
medical treatment, when her mother, Sirs.
Henrlctto Klump. decided to try a treat
ment of her own
Dorothy was sent to tho Philadelphia
Turngemeltide ami placed In the caro
of a swimming Instructor. What has
been the result? Look at tho accom
pnnylng picture of her Is not her clear,
keen eye enough to convince you that
she Is healthful now? Look at her chest.
Doesn't It look as though Dorothy Is
enjoying Hfe7 '
Well, sho Is, nnd her mother declares
Fbe Is the happiest woman In tho world.
This Is what she has to say to mothers
who ore worrying over tho health of
sickly children.
"My Dorothy caused us no end of wor
rlmcnt up until eight months ngo. Sho
showed no desire to cat at meal tlmo
nnd ns a consequence her physical de
velopment suffered. Wo consulted physi
cians, but they couldido nothing for her.
DECIDES TO THY SWIMMING.
"Then, after u hud almost given up
hope, nn Ulen came to me. I -used to do
a great deal of Mvlmmlng nnd found
that It proed both beneficial and In
teresting. I decided to try this remedy
as a last resort.
"I took Dorothy to a competent swim
ming Instructor. Sho was very timid at
first. She refused to bo taught nnd often
cried when It was tlmo for her to tako
her lesson. Tho Instructor finally gained
her confidence, however, and nfter a few
weeks began to toach her tho strokes.
"Then, suddenly, tho child changed Sho
wanted to go to tho tank every day. Sho
becamo Infatuated with tho water. Sho
began to cat moro regularly and soon
gained weight Her complexion Improved
wondorfully and sho becamo moro lively.
"I knew thnt tho swimming was doing
It. Sho Insisted upon going to tho pool
every day, but I only permitted her to
go twlco a week. Sho not only Improved
In health, but showed such rapid develop
ment that her Instructor decided to try
her at long-distanco swimming.
"Wo nro overjoyed nt tho Improvement
Bho hns shown, nnd both my husband and
m j self attrlbuto It to nothing else save
tho exerclso sho gained In swimming. I
would ndvlso all mothers of sickly chil
dren to follow my example. I know they
will never regret it."

So great was the interest in tlje Public
Ledger's Child "Welfare Exhibit that more than two
thousand photographs of children, up to 12 years of
age, were sent in. Pennsylvania's fairest, sturdiest and
brightest childhood is represented and in an exhibit of
which the State may well be proud.
The final decision of the judges has been made and
announced. Next Sunday the Public Ledger will reproduce these
photographs of the
Eight Gold Medal
Winners
Here will be a picture well worth keeping and framing
a picture of the prize children of the nation's Keystone State,
That the photographs will attract national attention cannot be
doubted.
There will, of course, be a greater-than-usual demand
for this issue of the Ledger. To be certain you get your copy,
