Madison Cawein, In Scribner's.
Other years the girt of his dreams
began to sigh for the mountains or the
seashore at this tlmo of jear. June,
1918, finds her sitting on the front porch
knitting. All she asks is a little
wicker basket stand or a Susie or some
thing like that to keep the cat from get
ting the yarn.
Of course, one might stretch n point
and accept a fascinating wicker sewing
stand lined with cretonne that has loses
growing all over II Anyway, 1918's
summer girl Is satisfied to stay at home
during a great many of the summer
months and go faithfully on with her
war work But there are recompenses
on tho front porch.
Walk through tho summer furniture
section of the department stores and
jou will find them. You will be Inter
ested If you are going to stay at homt
or If you arc going to do jour knitting
to the tuno of sea breezes. Designers
have put beads together nnd turned out
tho daintiest, prettiest knitting furniture
that Well, thero really never was
any knitting furniture befoie, was there?
There Is Susie, for Instance. Have jou
ever heard of her? Susie Is really noth
ing more or less than the prettiest llttli
stand In tho world to hold jxirn. One
particular Susie was painted gray and
hand decorated with little pink blossoms.
Slrlctlj- speaking, it should grace tho
drawing room, for Susie could match
the finest piece of furniture theid, but
the summer gitl cannot find It In her
heart to leave It there all the time
Then a little removed from Sus.e In
price nnd surely reasonable enough o
win Its vvaj- onto the most unassuming
of front porches is the basket knitting
stand This Is sort of a best seller a
sturdy and vcrj- roomy -nrn basket at
tached to a wicker stand .
A piece that will greatly appeal to
the woman who loves a toomv and at
the same time unusual sewing bnsket Is
the wicker one, which somehow reminds
S-ou of the delightful wicker standing
flower boxes that are seen In the shops
this season. The basket is lined with
cretonne, sweet and heavy with roses
It could easily be used for knitting or
for sewing. It blands on substantial,
j el dalntj-, legs.
Besides these distinctly new pieces In
the shops, there Is the alwaj's popular
little collapsible mahogany and cretonne
knitting stand The cretonne, really
a well-made bag, Is bung on a little
mahoganj- frame that collapses. Then
there Is a erj- attractive newcomer that
has "two stories" j'atn goes In the
top and anything In the bottom This

To tell the stoij- of the nlneteen-oigh-tecn
knitting furniture without saying a
word about knitting bags, would be like
leaving Hamlet out of his own play.
The seashore knitting bag comes In
ratlla, decorated with bright-colored
fruit. It Is a delightful little affair
that slips over the arm llko a llttlo old
fashioned bonnet. The clasp knitting
bag, we are told by those who know.
Is In for a strong season of popularity,
too. Xcw materials are dally working
themselves around the clasps and now
ono finds summer silk, ruffly cretonne
and even the lighter summer material
there. The old reliable roomj- cretonne
bag Is stilt In favor. New patterns are
Introduced Into the fabric that go to
make It up this season, but the same
room Is there. One can still put Into
It everything but the kitchen stove!
Standing on the brink of real summer
davs, whether the next three months are
to be spent at home or away, one looks
long nnd longingly at these knitting ac
cessories. They are all practical enough
to hfl well worth the money Invested.
And Irresistible enough to win the heart
of any woman.

In the name of our fighting men

food administration Is asking patri

This will mean a great deal of

It Ih a terrible situation for any man

of all concerned that the real feelings

then 1 have been able to tind out three of
them scion, suspicion and coercion I would
like very much to tind the other thren worus
and am writing to ou tn the hone that you
will be able to Inform me through your valu
able column what thtae other words are
Very truly youra WYNCOTB. PA ,
After consulting dictionaries, tha pub- ,
lie library and various other sources of i
information I have found two more
words with the desired ending epinicion,
meaning a song of triumph, and Inter
nlclon, meaning general slaughter The i
public library reported that "cion" is an
obsolte form of the ending tlon," and
I could dlR up only these two words i
built in the old way. Perhaps some of
the readers would care to join the uu-trle
and hunt for "cions." If so I shall be
very glad to know what the sixth word
is.
