Shopping Economy By MRS. HARLANU H. ALLEN Rubber Ware fur the Kitchen. There are not a great many rubber articles sold in the house-furnishings department, but such as are used are quite indispensable, and will do much toward completing the equipment, of your home and thus lessening the little inconveniences and annoyances of housekeeping. Of course there are the rubber rings for sealing anrl closing fruit Jars when preserving or canning, and experience lias already taught you that the best is none too good to buy. Unless you get the best, there is hound to be con sequent less In breakage and spoil age of expensive materials, as well as your own time and labor wasted. Not every housewife knows that she can buy rubber maters to put in the sink and thus save many dollars by preventing the breakage of her china. These mats are also a protection to the sink. Rubber sink brushes, and little flat rubber plate scrapers, for scraping food particles from the dish es before washing, are worth all they cost. Some women always use perforated lubber mats on linoleum or tiled kitchen floors. They are easier on the feet, and will wear for a long time. They are useful also for kitchen hall ways and stairs. It is a good plan to invest a few cents in a box of assorted rubber corks while you are about it. Such a fore sight will save the time so often lost in futile hunting for the right cork to tit the right bottle. Large flat corks like those for big juga will prove to be great labor sav ors when you come to the task of cleaning kitchen knives. And they riot only save labor, but prevent the staining of a perfectly good dishcloth Rubber is sold for door mats to protect the woodwork and to elimi nate noise. Little rubber '•feet" to slip over the tip ends of table and i hair legs save the floor finish as well as the family’s nerves. And no careful, modern housewife forgets the rubber gloves to preserve ].er bands when washing dishes, or doing other rough kitchen work. This about the full list of rubber things for the kitchen, though, per haps the persistent shopper will be rewarded by discovering others. Re member that having purchased a sup ply of rubber articles, a certain amount of reasonable care Is neces sary. Rubber goods dct<*rion e very rapidly unless kept In a c ol, dark place. Oil dissolves rubbe’ and so kerosene must never he u i to clean it. W'Inre two layers of rubber are likely to stick together. 1 lie adjacent surfaces should be dried carefully, and dusted over with talcum powder.

New York, (Special Correspondence.) —Pull knee deep lies the winter flounce. Even when its altitude is not fixed, this detail is pretty apt to He. For it Is a feature of the sea son's styles which every designer has caught tip with enthusiasm and which each has interpreted in his own way. Sometimes the flounce is circular and sometimes, as illustrated here, Is it otherwise. The model shown above, one of those felicitous mixtures of dinner, afternoon and restaurant frocks, is a stunning combination of two kinds of crepes. The main section is a brown brocaded material while both flounce and drapery over the shoulders are of plain brown crepe. Two round steel ornaments are placed at either side of the waist line. The originality of the shoulder drap ery, coming straight across the front, folding over tbe top and descending into two sharp points in the back, makes this an exceedingly effective model. It will be noticed that the V of the flounces balances the corners of the drapery. ISLEEPY-TIME TALES JIMMY RABBIT ONCE MORE _SCOTT BAILER, CHAPTER XL Jimmy Rabbit .Sings for Somebody. Jimmy Rabbit was glad he had taken Ills first singing lesson of old Mr. Crow. Mr. Crow had taught him a mournful ditty, which he had as sured Jimmy was just the thing to sing under somebody's window, for a serenade. It was somewhat late In the after noon when Jimmy learned the song. He knew that he couldn't serenade Miss Belinda Bunny then, because the whole Bunny family would be waking up from their daytime napa and thinking about stealing down to He made frightful sounds. Farmer Green's garden as soon as it ; began to grow dark, to hunt for their supper. “I'll wait until tomorrow morning,” ! Jimmy decided. "After they've come home and gone to bed I'll go to their house and sing under Belinda's win dow. How pleased she'll be'" And that was just what he did. He waited until he was sure the Bunny family had come home. Hiding be hind a bush near their home, he saw them pop, one by one, through their doorway. And then, just as the sun peeped over the hills, he began his sad song. He made frightful sounds. And pretty soon he heard Miss Bunny's mother speak to MIfs Bunny's fat her. "William Henry!" she ct ie 1. “What's that awful noise'?'* Mr. Bunny must have been very sleepy. It was some time before he looked out of the door and blinked in l he gray morning light. "It must have been the wind that | you heard howling.” he told Mrs. , Bunny, who peered over his shoul-| der. "No!” said she. "I'm sure it was; somebody in great pain." "Then he must ho feeling better,” , replied Mr. Bunny in a bored voice, lie v is t iger to get back to bed. "1 don't hear him any more." Jimmy Rabbit had stopped singing. He didn't want tylss Bunny’s parents to discover him. Resides, he wasn't serenading them. He was giving their daughter a treat; and he wished they would lie down and go to sleep again. As soon as they shut the door he took up his song where he had left it. Rut he had let out only one long wall when Miss Belinda herself stuck her head out of her window. “Pa! Ma!" she shrieked. "Come hero quick! Somebody must bo caught in a trap." In a jiffy Mr. and Mrs. Bunny appeared in the window'. And they waited there, listening, until Jimmy Rabbit’s song ceased once more. "It sounds to me," Mr. Bunny re marked, "a good deal like a rusty hinge." "Nonsense!" said Ills wife. "It sounds to me as if somebody had been poisoned. Or maybe Tommy Fox has caught some small creature and is playing with him.” "That wasn't Tommy Fox's voice," Mr. Bunny objected. "Of course not!" retorted Mrs. Bunny. "But it may have been the \oice of his captive." By this time Belinda Bunny was in tears. Jimmy Rabbit could hear her sniveling. And remembering what Mr. (.'row had told him, he was much pleased. For Mr. Crow had tohl him that a good, sad song was just the thing for a serenade# be cause it might make a person weep himself (or herself) to sleep, instead of waking him (or her) up so that he (or she) couldn't get another wink of sleep for hours. That was what a merry song might do. "Mr. Crow certainly knows all about singing," Jimmy thought, as he started for home. "But Mr. and Mrs. Bunny are greenhorns. Any body that doesn't know a good song when he hears it ought to take a few lessons from old Mr. Crow. I’ll tell Mr. Crow he must get them for pupils." But later, when Mr. Crow called upon the Bunny family and said he would like to teach them how to sing, they couldn't help laughing right In his face. “That's a good joke,” said William Henry Bunny. And Mr. Crow was so angry that he wouldn’t have given them a les son, not if they had got down on their knees and begged him for on#. They didn't do that. (Copyright. 1H2!)

Adele Garrison's New Phaso of "Revelations of a Wife.” ——— Why Harry I nderwood's Presence Doubly Perplexed Madge. T made a good breakfast in spite of the fact that I knew Harry Under wood in his disguise of the Castil lian grandee, Don Ramon Almirez, was covertly watching both Claire Foster ami when I guessed, distinct amusement mingled with the concern which had brought him to this moun tain resort. And Claire, with her anxi ety upon the score of Herbert Pettit relieved by my assurance that nothing more unpleasant should come near her, ate most heartily. I saw, with satisfaction at my own success in calming her, that her youth and resilient spit its were fast react ing (o the rescue from gossip 'my i oming to the Barker home had afford ed her. She was a most attractive picture, f decided as I looked at her with eyes sharpened by the realization that Harry Underwood was taking In every detail of her appearance. I would have been less than human, other than feminine, if there had not come to me the humorous remembrance of that last hectic time when Dr. Tettit and Harry Underwood had met each other. After the physician had left, I had told Mr. Underwood of his engage ment to Claire Foster, and that some thing had broken it off. ■'Probably Claire came out from the ether," Harry Underwood had drawled, and in the next minute had exclaimed with a dramatic flourish: "And the man breathed the same air as you, and then became engaged to a western girl!" The words had annoyed me because they recalled the fact that before Claire Foster appeared on the hori zon Dr. Pettit bad fancied himself in love with me, and bad given me many unpleasant minutes by the exhibition of his feelings. But, inconsistently enough, I found myself wondering if Mr. Underwood would pronounce the same verdict upon us now that he i had seen Claire. Madge Pays Bolh Bills. With a little start and a mental cuf i ting of my own ears, T subdued the , absurd mental vagaries in which T had ] been indulging, and rose from the ta ble. i "Finish your toffee,".T said to my breakfast companion. “I'll settle with Problems That Perplex Answered by BEATRICE FAIRFAX Emotions and Love. Dear Miss Fairfax: Can love exist when a person feeds no great emo- I tion? I am going out with a young man of 20, one year my senior (having known him for two years previously), and in that time he has come to love me dearly. He is an honest-to-good nees fellow, one whom you can de pend upon. I care for him dearly and also tell him I love hlrn, but now some friends have cast a doubt in my mind, saying I cannot love him if I do not get a thrill when he touches me. It would break his heart to give him up am) I would feel very lonely. ANXIOUS. Don’t let other folks get you into La critical and agitated frame of mind about your emotions. Some people love quietly, tenderly and gently— blit none the less deeply than those whose emotions are llery and tur bulent. Perhaps you care more deep ly than those who palpitate and thrill. But since your love Is based on devo tion and respect, it is likely to grow and survive the infatuation type of love which seems to be the pattern of what your friends desire. B. F. M.: Why not answer his let ter. As to the gift, it is rather late to do anything now. You should not have accepted It in the first place. Kim: Well.

Mrs. Barker for both of us. if you don’t want to talk to her." “I'll he so glad not to." she said, opening her purse 'and handing rne some bills. "There's only this last week, anyway. She is paid up until then. And there wtl probably be some extras. But I won’t question her bill. Pay her anything she asks.' "I don't fancy she'll overcharge, ' I returned. “You’re an incurable optimist,” Claire retorted, and I heard a faint sound, which 1 was sure was a sup pressed chuckle from Harry Under wood's table. "I'm filad to Do This." 1 walked down the room to the door .and was compelled to pass with in two feet of the table behind which sat the pseudo Bon Karnon Almirez. looking every inch the Castilian J grandee. I kept my eyes strictly averted from him, however, for I ( knew that Claire Foster's eyes and ; brain were keen, and I did not care to have her suspect the disguise. Mrs. Barker was at her desk In the front hall, and when I paid both bills. I guessed that she had hard work to 1 keep back the caustic comments con cerning Claire which I knew were near her lips. But she contented her self with a single sentence: "I’m glad to do this.” as her pen made a vicious flourish under her signature receipting the girl's bill. Wisely, I made no commet upon her little speerh. Instead, I tried to express my thanks to her for the In dubitahle kindness she had shown me. But she waved them away Im peratively. “I do what I think Is right." she said crisply. “Don’t waste time try ing to thank me. I think you said you had a note you wanted to give me.” I signalled her to silence, for Claire Foster had left the dining room, and was coming along the hall. She would not have to pass the desk, for the corridor turned abruptly a few feet from us, hut she was within earshot, and I was not yet ready to confirm the girl’s suspicion that Her bcrt Petli# was in the ofllng.
