National American Suffrage Association
and in charge of the department of food
production and home economics of the
woman's committee, Cruncll of -National

farm labor.
"The most important part of a farm
erette's uniform Is her shoes," she says,
"and yet you never hear thein discussed.
Pon't Ignore footgear. You have to
have a good spinal column to keep up
with a good Job The condition of the

Try the Insect powder on the floor.
Spread It thick In the cracks and
wherever the fleas are gathered. If the
powder was suggested by a pet shorf or
Is prepared for animals it Is specially
prepared so that it will not make the cat
BlcK If he licks It off. When you put on
the Insect powder place the cat in a box
without a lop and rub the powder plenti
fully Into his hair. The MeaB will drop
oft, and If a little straw Is n tho bottom
of the box to hold them they can be
burned in It. Be sure that the powder
Is of good quality before you attempt
this. I am sure the Insect powder or ant

you can use on the floors.

Peaches, pears, bananas and such fruit

lately it has been quite customary to cat

Watermelon may he cut In slices and
eaten with a fork or it may be cut In

The watermelon is passed to each

He flung back his head with a quick mo
tion. "I should like to know. '
"I'm staying over at the Searles place
for a while. And you live here-:" He
studied our sober gray house with more
than a momentary interest.
"I should like you to meet my aunts.
I said cordially.
"Oh no. no, no," he spoke in a quick
tone that had lost Is casualness.
He had said good-night. And I was
left standing by the garden gate. I raised
the latch. The heavy scent of lilacs
floated to me. The grass lay soft under
my feet. Noiselessly I had come to the
door.
I lifted my head, for from within I
heart angry voices.
"She must be told!" crifd one. the un
mistakable tones of Aunt Letltla.
"It's Just the way to ruin her!"
answered the other In the same high key.
"Well, this sort of thing has got to be
stopped. Mrs, Hicks says "
I flung open the door.

Bach to Nainsook Undergarments
A Daily fashion talk by Florence Rose
A GOOD many years ago most of us
were quite content with nainsook
undergarments, but the last few years
we have cultivated the luxury habits of
wearing silk, satin or chiffon garments.
While ,of course. In a senso the silk
undergarment is a luxury. In another
seme It Is not, for a good silk combi
nation does wear and ofttlmes outwears
the cotton one becauso it doca not get
the harsh treatment that Is accorded
the one of cotton. Wo all know that
to keep a cotton garment looking re
spectable It must be given the regula
tion tubbing with tho rubbing, boiling,
blueing and hanging ln the breeze, all
thrown In as part of tho dose, whereas
the silk garment .can be soaked and
rinsed In a tinted water. The material,
therefore, has far less to endure. This
explains to me why so many women ad
vocate silk undergarments, and refuse
to be called extravagant.
However, be that as It may, cotton
undergarments are Just now enjoying
surprising popularity, especially of the
PhtlirminA make. These, isb vou knr,w.
that It may be easier for each nerann1 ,,-. imnria emm it, ohiiinnirM nH
to hsln hlmielf. ' ' r '" """"',',.'w" "'" ''"""i:f ."
Philippine embroidery and soft nainsook are combined in the dainty
garments for milady's toilette which are described in today's fashion talk
in price aa the
aa the cotton good3 mad in
our own country. The delightful em
broideries with which these undergar
ments are enhanced make them well
worth the prices asked for them.
I am showing you today three sketches
of Philippine garments. The drawing at
the right Is one of the sleeveless night
gowns. The gown is quite elaborately
trimmed In embroidery and has the
scalloped edge about the neck and the
arm's eye. The ribbon laces through
tiny buttonholes. At the left Is a che
mise very simlllar to the nightgown and
below Ib an envelope chemise with the
bands over the shoulder of the cotton
embroidered on the edges Instead of be
ing made of ribbon, as one usually sees
this style of envelope design.

my summers In tho town she lived In. my
business compelled me to tn south every

threp tin,-, a week. When I left her last
fall we derided to set married In the spring
as we thought she would be eld enonah.
Mi; Is now nineteen and I am twenty-two.
Before I started south I received a letter
from her saying she did not love me ns

It seems to me It wniild be better for
you to go up and talk it over as she
suggests, That looks to mc as if rhe
had a little doubt in her own mind and
wanted to sec you once more to make
sure. She may be suffering from shy
ness or natural timidity In taking the
step and if she sees you nnd finds she
loves you as Bhe thought she did, and as
she probably does It will all come right
and you will be nble to "take her to the
parson" as you express It. Very often
a girl gets timid as her marriage date
approaches, especially if she has not seen
her fiance for some time. You will be
happ'.or if you seo her and tnlk It over
than If you do not make this final ef
fort to win her.
