X "TvAINTY nnd attractive tables ilur-
?' J inc the summer are plensiug to
i the eye nnd tickle the pnlnte. They
F cause the housewife but little extrn
trouble. It is ensy to Serve a platter
; meal during tho wnrm wenther that per
; mlts a most attractive arrangement of
the table.
J Remove the ,nit from a lonf of
bread and orenm the butter nnd season
with a little mustard nnd paprika and
spread lightly upon the bread. Cut
into thin slices, nnd th 'ii fold together
t Make little paper cups, using paper
1 napkins. Place th? bread-and-butter
sandwiches in the cups nnd fold and then
arrange for ench service.
5 This does awny with the bread-nnd-
2 butter plates, and somehow on a hot
; day this seems especially good. Have
J tho salad cold and crisp nnd use a va
S rlety of dressing. Now the uestion of
8 dessert looms bis. and I would suggest
j the use of plenty of fresh fruit in the
' j natural state. Heavy, ricli desserts have
; no place in the summer menu.

Please Tell Me
-What to Do
Hy CYNTHIA
"Byrne" to "De Jure"
Rear Cynthia Through you may 1
answer "Po Jurc"fy Your letter was nlso
exceptional. True, I speak of tho future,
I for It Is what the futuro has in store for
j us that Is worth living for. Your con
tention thnt "ho Is lost to whom It nap
pens' before his spurs are won" Is true.
Remember, however, "Do Jure," that
you cannot win your spurs by climbing
up one ladder nnd attempting to Jump to
tho top of another.
What you say regnrdlng tho vine
clinging type of girl Is true. They en
danger the llxes of tho average young
fellow K.nlng a few hundred dollars
nnd relying on your salary Is seldom
practical or sound In theory. It means
but an extra ependlture of health nnd
happiness. Success In our buslncsss en
deavor should always guide In matrl
monlnl entures
"l)e Jure," ou write a very sensible
letter, but please change your opinion
nbout the car I'm sure you feci tho
samo about the car as I do. Sometimes
I like to sit down In my own little road
ster nnd rldc through the country. How
over, there are the times, too, -when tho
company of a girl Is most enjoyable.
Come, speak up, "Vo Jure," and admit
that our Individual opinions hardly
dllTer. UYRNI3.
Why Refuse to Introduce?
Dear Cynth'a Lately quite a few of
the readers of our column have asked
you to acquaint them with writers to
your column whom they nro Interested
In, and In nit cases ou hae said It Is
against the rules of your column to
bring nbout an acquaintance. I would
like to know what your reason Is for en
forcing such a rule Many strange young
men nnd women hac Journeyed to
this city nnd through your columns hae
asked for acquaintances, nnd In all In
stances I have f-een, you referred them
to the Y M C A or Y W. C. A., nB tho
caso may bo , but during my travels I
have stayed at the Y M C. A. of differ
ent cities nnd not at one place did I
meet a man whom I could call a real
friend, ns the word friend hns a very
broad meaning. J do not want to
knock tha Y. M C A., ns they have
done good work, but t have never
found tho better class of fellows staying
there either.
Many young ladles nnd men have con
tributed their tnles of woo to your col
umn nnd In many enscs I bcllevo you
could have been able to bring nbout
some good friendships had you cared to.
Hemember a friend In need Is a friend
Indeed.
AN EXrERlRNCED ROMEO.
There Is only one mlstnke In your let
ter, and thnt Is that the readers of the
column who have asked for Introductions
havo In all Instances been referred to
tho Y. M. or Y V. C. A.
It Is true they have been suggested,
but other Institutions have nlso been
mentioned. And tho chief advice that
Cynthia gives is to consult tho rector
or pastor of one's church or one of tho
curntes of the-church, who will know of
nlco young people It would be advisable
to meet
You forget that Cynthia does not
know tho writers to her column. How,
then, could she bring nbout tho Intro
duction of young men and young women
whoso names alone arc known to her?
How could she be responsible for
bringing about friendships between per
sons whose homes and conduct she knows
nothing about?
It Is perfectly true thnt some very
good friendships might result from such
an Introduction, but, "Borneo," If you nro
ns experienced a man of tho world as
you clnlm to be by your slgnaturo you
shculd know enough to see the Inadvlsa
btllty of such a courpe. The rule has
been made and It must be kept.
To "Betty Bonnet"
Dear Cynthln Just a few lines to
"Detty Bonnet."
Thanks, "Betty Bonnet." You're a
good scout I don't know that I could
be so generous as to take tho -port of a
person who had handed me tho bawling
out that you thought I handed you
So listen, "Betty Bonnet," while I

This should mnke them white nnd keep
them white If you do It every time they

and do not starch them very much. Per
haps It would bo better to use a cold

Is mado by dissolving tho hnrd stnrch In

An Egg Shampoo
To the Editor of It'ommi't J'tiGC
Dear Mndnm Will you pleno give
mo tho' following Information? How
can white kid slippers be cleaned? How
enn whlto silk stockings nnd gloves bo
wnshed so ns not to turn vellnw' How
can a skirt bo accordion plaited nt home?
How Is nn egg shnmpoo made? Havo
written beforo concerning the shampoo,
but I am nfrnld I did not make myself
clear enough, ns your answer wasn't
what I. wished to know.
A CONSTANT BEADEB.
There nre cleaners thnt nre sold for
whlto nnd light kid shoes. Hnve you
tried tlicm? They nre really safer than
nnythlng you could mnko or uso nt home
nnd they nre not very expensive.
Whlto silk will not turn yellow If It
Is wnshed nt night In lukewarm naphtha
suds.
Accordion plaiting cannot bo done at
home. Thero Is a steam process which
must be gono through In order to form
the plnlts nnd press them In. Only a
professional' plaiting establishment can
do It.
Your loiter about the ege shampoo
must have been misunderstood. Did you
nsk how It is mnde? it Is simply an
egg or two eggs benten until they nro
light and then rubbed on the hair Just
llko any other shampoo. Uso cold wnter,
for tho hot wnter would harden the
eggs. It Is not nccessnry to put nny
thlng else with tho cgg In order to mako
tho shnmpoo. This Is snld to be very
bencficlnl to tho hnlr and makes It light
and Huffy.

MARGARET DISCOVERED
THAT SHE HAD GROWN UP
She Thought the Distances Had Shrunk in the Town Where
She Lived as a Child, but She Found She Had "Stretched"
MARCJARET wns nil excited I For
the first time since she hnd rcnlly
grown up sho was going back to visit the
town where sho had lived most of her
childhood. Tho family had moved
away when Margaret was nbout ten
years old, and sho had been back there
several times on short visits, but not
since she had reached tho grown-up
state.
She remembered, ns the distressingly
"lornr train nearcd tho terminus, that
It was quite a long walk from the sta
tion to the houso where she wns going
to stay. It was a warm flay, nnd she
hoped there would be a "hack" of some
kind to take her up. Then as she left
the train she saw a very modern-looking
"jitney" drawn up beside the platform
and felt a mixture -nt relief and of awe
nt the elegance of It.
In about two minutes she was at her
destination. This "long walk" that
she had been thinking nbout had shrunk
Into not more thnn two blocks. Another
miracle seemed to have taken place, too.
Margaret remembered the hotiBp as set
bock from the street, but It had taken
nbout three steps forward, until It wns
nerched perilously close to the gate.
She reached the porch In four startled
strides, and she knew that It used to
take easily-ten. Then the "yard. " In
former years it had stretched bark from
the house so far that It was difficult
to seo the back gate. There had been
a path from the back gate to the house
that hnd been long nnd winding nnd
filled with terrors for Margaret when
shehad walked It as a child.
Yet, as she stood for a moment nnd
looked back into the depths of lnwn
behind tho house, there wns the back
gate coming right up to meet her. The
mysterious path led down to it in the
most COmmonnlaCC. strnlchtforwnril
way, with only n slight twist In two
Places. j.nc vast lawn was scarcely
large enough for one good-sized tennis
court. What had happened? Bv the
time Mnrgnrct reached her hosts she
was perfectly prepared to find that
they had shriveled, to. She was some
what surprised la find that they .were
still the same size thnt they had been
when she last saw them.
rpHE same disappointing surprise
greeted her everywhere during her
stnv in the town. The houses thnt had
looked so huge to her when she lived
there seemed only moderately sized, and
strangely close to the street. The
Porches almost hung out over the side
walk in a most disconcerting wny, ns
if they were in danger of falling over
nt nuy minute. Mnrgaret began to
feel like Alice in Wonderland, ns if she
had been eating something that made
her grow too tall for her surroundings.
Then nil n( once the explanation enme
to her. She hnd grown too toll. The
reason that houses and gnrdens nnd
distances hnd seemed so great to her
was because she had been so tiny in
comparison. Nothing had shrunk. She
had just grown herself, that was nil.
The little feet that had found it neces
sary to tako so many steps to get any
where could reach twice ns far now-
The young imagination thnt found ter
rible trnmns and oirres nnd wild nnlmnlu
in grotesque shadows, and snw palaces
where only houses were, hnd matured
ami nnu learned at last to know things
ns they are instead of as they seem.
It is just n little sobering when you

That's why this nd will be real news to some people.
