He expects to be married In uni form, nnd I would like to know what would be appropriate for me to wear nt a morning or afternoon home wedding MILDRED It would be perfeetlv appropriate for you to wear the regulation wedding dress with a tulle or lace veil For summer It Is always pretty to have georgette crepe or net Instead of tin usual satin, and the dress should b- simply made. If you prefer to be mar ried In a hat Instead of a veil you could wear a white hat with the same kind of georgette or net drfss and white slippers in either morning or after noon, or If you prefei something even more severe than that you ccruld wear a dark blue afternoon dress and black tulle har. which ou could travel In afterward. Crepe de chine, pussy willow satin or some material of that kind would be best for the dark dress. Dark pumps and stockings should be worn with it Adventures With a Purse "NK shop is displaying books for the vacation trip. They nre quite well. but inexpensively bound, so that while one need have no hesitancy about carry ing them, one need have no hesitancy cither in cnting them n'idc afterward.

It is from Paris that the powder-puff I handkerchiefs, most novel creations, first csme. And one can easily picture a fluffy Parisian lady whisking out a handkerchief of pale pink silk, match ing her blouse or ruffled evening gown. Hut. not to digress, I must describe the powder-puff handkerchief for you. As its name implies, it is primarily n hand kerchief, of silk. Sewed securely in the 'center is n soft round powder puff, of, I think, lamb's wool, and sewed nrounil the puff is n tiny gathering string that pulls the handkerchief together, entirely concealing the puff. Tucked away, too, in this little hiding place Is n tiny box of powder. You can readllpsee the ad vantage of a puff of this kind. The handkerchief comes In scvernl colors, pule, pink, pnlc blue and lavender, nnd affords a splendid way to carry powder i when wearing a light dress with which a purse would not be in keeping. The price, complete, is seventy-five cents. The cover and holder for a tumbler nre very convenient, both for her who keeps n glnss of wnter by her bed ut , night and for her who must take medi cine. It is not necessary for me to say I that the holder protects the table, or I wherever the glnss is nlaced, from wnter marks. And the top keeps the glass covered, and thus protects it from dis turbing germs nr,d dust. The set is made of natural wood, with on artistic inlaid design, and is prifu at fifty cents.

Hark there was the old Pipedreatu now! with a quickening of her pulse, she ran down to the landing "Porter, I m awfully glad to see you. Did the bill pass?' Porter, stepping from the launch. gripped her .hands in Ills "Jean. dear. It did. And tho girl knew the little . m. of endearment gave the measure of his sympathy. Presently over tall glasses of some thing fruity nnd cool, brought by Jean's little maid, they discussed the situation. The burning of the Beldon Town Hall played the deuce with the records," mused Porter "Your father never men tioned whether he held a deed?" ".Vo," paid Jean, "and after his death only your father over came here until I had the bungalow built. I'll go through his papers, but I feel sure I shall not find It." When Porter rose to go, a sud,den Im pulse seized him "Jean !" he cried, tak. lng a step forward The girl drew back. "Not not yet," she said. "Jean' When'" "My thoughts nre so full of losing the island you understand?" she pleaded. "Of course." said Porter comprehend Ingly, and with a frlendlv little nod turned down to the boat. He hud for gotten everything but the nearness und doamess of her And, bv Ocorge he had forgotten to tell lier about Nancy ! An hour later, Jean slipped the band around the Inst package of papers which hud been her fathers Thev had yielded her nothing Feverishly ehe picked up some old books opened them, held them upside down and slmok them violently. From one, a loose leaf fluttered out then, what was that vellow paper? "With unsteady flncers she opened It out. Yes, it was a deed with her father's signature, registering the sale of the Island But to whom was the Island sold' Not to her fnther ' Hut by her father to to John Wllllarn Phil lips.

Yes, there was the same name ill cramperl faciei! writing So the Islnnil was Porter's' She must tell him right away Presently, kneeling In the stern of the light Canadian canoe, she guided tho craft out Into the calm waters, re flecting the gathering splendor of the sunset. As she neared the Island on which he had told her he had pitched his tent, she saw the dim smoke of a fire. But what was that silhouetted agaliwt the tent's whltencfs, their outlines picked out by the firelight ' The figures of a man and woman the woman's head rest ing on the shoulder of the man. Thunderstruck Jean paused, her pad dle lifted, th'n turned homeward as silently as sli. had come How could he havo hinted that he loved her oh, how could he' Into hr bitter meditations a thought Insinuated Itself. In her sweater pocket she held Porter's punishment. A little flip of that vellowed paper Into the lake and who would be trie wiser?

Jean stepped to the open door "Jean" t-aid a familiar voice, softly. She prfusrd. her hand at her throat. Porter must have come to the landing whllo he wsh pulling her canoe out back on the bathing beach. Well, It saved her a raddle In the morning. . "Here, she said coldly. "Is something of yours.' Porter, aware of the hostility In her tone, took the paper she. held out, struck a match nnd read by the wavering light. "Wh our fnther sold this Island to my father' How very strange! No wonder vou are feellnu badly." Jean dashed forth at that. "Porter Phillips' Do you suppose I am as small as all that' If you were only what I thought vou are- " repeated Porter "I say, Jean, would you mind saying that again?" "As If you didn't know! Here this very afternoon, you let me think all sorts of things. Yet tonight I saw you with your arm around " "My cousin Nanny," murmured Por ter "No, wait You flldnt see my arm around any one.

I only knew him for a week tfhen ho left for a distant city. Before he left he nsked me to correspond with him. which I did, nnd our corres pondence was verv regular. He was away .about one year nnd three months Durlngi that time my people learned of my affection for this young man and objected to my correspondence because they heard dlsngreenble things about his character. His bov friends and girl friends all think nnd spenk highly of his character with tho exception of a few, whopi I believe do not like him. Now Cynthia, I love this fellow very much nnd my thoughts are always of mm. He returned nbout a week ago. He saw mo but never spoke a word to me. I believe ho has heard about my people disapproving of my friendship with him through his relatives. I would like very much to resumo our friendship ns before. Will you plense advise mo what to do as I am heart broken? WEEPING. As you are very young nnd your parents disapprove, you would do well to listen and not enter Into an engage ment with this man. At the same time he should bo given the right to clear himself of their charges. Why not write to him and assure him of your friendship and ask him to come and Be you? Then hnve a talk with have faith in him, but feeling as you are havo faith In him. but feel aa you are still very young you must wait till you are older before having any engagement. A Clever Idea During a month's quarantine, my nursery was stripped of rugs, curtains and pictures, leaving It bare and unat tractive for the sick children. I bought crepe paper with Christmas, Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving pictures, and using pins freely, hung curtains and other dec orations everywhere. As the little ones became convalescent, wo took down a strip at a time and cut out the figures with blunt scissors. It whlled away many a tedious hour, and when the quarantine was lifted, all was quickly burned.

Perhaps she wouldn't admit it, hut her friends all know It. Her Idea of going on n visit Is just one piece of entertainment after an other. And that word "entertainment" Includes the Idea "escort."

Then all at once it Is as though her eyes were suddenly opened, and she sets everything more plainly. She sees the shallowness of society, and she i forced to see her little sister F.Uanor, influenced by the life she sees about her, almost make a fear ful mistake, BARBARA, always looked back upon that night with a shudder of dread, although It developed thnt things were not nearly as bad as she had thought thev would be. Eleanor had a good night's sleep, and awoko with some of her lost spirits regained. She was very much subdued, but she had the Knight pride, and sho managed to carry things off with a high hand. She even stood the leasing and allusions of the others and she managed to greet Randall with a certain amount of poise, although she took care not to be alone with him a second. Barbara was up In her room with Eleanor seated In the wide window seat after breakfast the next mornlncr. when Zelti brought her a note. "It's from Kendall Hnndall," she said, her eyes running quickly through It. "He wants to see you." Eleanor shuddered. "Oh, I couldn't, Barbara, I couldn't speak to him alone." "Do you want mc to see him?" "O. would you do that for me, would you?" Eleanor's tone was pathetically eager And t.o It was that Barbara met Kendnlt Randall downstairs and heard him moke his anolocles. "I was a fool." lie s-aid, meeting the honest scorn In Barbara's eyes with his own sorry and ashamed. "And I love Eleanor: I want to marry her. "You could havo remembered that she Is-only a child," Barbara said scathingly, "and besides you couldn't love her; what you love Is her youth, her freshness. Yours Is a relflsh love, and If she had nny feeling at all for you, you've killed It forever. Kendall mado only one defense after admitting that he had lost his head. It waa to the effect that girls of today wero so oversophlstlcated that one hardly knew how to tnko them, and Barbnrn. ndmitted tho truth of this. She herself, "Asco" , u ,. -.

Barbara felt the burden of her own llfo and her own problems onu more. That awful feeling of uncertainty gripped her again, of not know.nj whether Keith cared enough for her to justify nor fighting for him. She realized a great many things now that she had never thought of much before. .She sat In the car with Eleanor's hand held In hers nnd thought nbout life. Her Job In ns much as she had chosen it, was marriage, and making her hus band hnppy.

Why Katherlns could not have held her Job If she had been ns careless about 'It ns she, Bar- ' bara, had been with her Job as wife. Eleanor squeezed her hand suddenly and Barbara turned and met the girl's blue eyes "Let me come over and stay all night with you tonight will you?" Eleanor asked. Barbara nodded. "We'll have an old time talk," sho said, with a little catch In her voice. It was something to havo tho old Eleanor back again.
