Things You'll Love
To Make .
truest NopKmRi
When guests are visiting at your
home it is nice to have a napkin ring
for each one. Here are guest nap
kin rings that are very inexpensive
and easy to make. Use as the foun
dation small brass curtain or ivory
rings. Cover them with raffia, rib
bon or colored cord. Place one end
of a strand of the raffia along the
lower edge of the ring; hold it In
place with the thumb of your left
hand. Then buttonhole over it. Con
tinue until the ring is closely cov
ered. The diagram in the center of
the large ring shows the looping of
the raffia. You will find a number
of these attractive guest napkin rings
a great convenience
Bird Houses Now
By JEAN TRUE.
Do you really love the birds? If you do, hang bird houses in your
trees, mount bird houses on standards or otherwise place tiny little struc
tures in nooks and corners where the birls may find them. Bird houses
will help to beautify your garden and will help you to make neighbors
with the birds themselves. These little creatures in turn wilj help to
protect your trees and shrubs from insects that may otherwise infest
them. They will fill the air with song and thus add refinement to your
grounds.". .' ,
If you do not care to purchase bird houses, get busy and make what
you wish. Only do it now. The birds are coming every day.

Problems That Perplex
Answered by
BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
' What to Wear. -
Dear Miss Fairfax: May I also
beg for some advice? My problem
Is clothes. I have been thinking of
getting a spring dress, but am un
certain as to what I should get. Tou
see, with me a new dress is a great
event. What is being worn most this
spring, both as to material and
color? What will be worn this sum
nicr. organdie and KinKhams or
rsilks? Is there any material, make
and color of dress I could get whicn
would be suitable for this spring,
summer and autumn or at least
spring and autumn? Will the new
cape blouses be worn much this
spring and summer? I am 20.
Thank you. BLACK EYES.
The best material, if you are get
ting only one dress, is a dark silk
crepe. Such a dress can be worn
through spring, summer and au
tumn, and even In the winter, if it
holds together that long. Henna
color is being worn, but if you are
having only one dress, you would be
wiser to purchase dark blue, , black,
or some shade of brown becoming to
you. Do not get anything extreme
in style. Get something with a
pretty style sleeve and a becoming
neck line. It should be simply made.
I think the satin back crepe is one
of the most durable yet graceful of
materials.
Underweight.
Dear Miss Fairfax: Can you
please tell me what causes white
spots on the finger nails, and how
to get rid of them? Also I am
18, and ffve feet eight inches tall.
Am I too tall? I weigh 113 1-2
pounds. Is that too much or not
enough? How is my writing?
ANXIOUS.
You are very much underweight
Normal weight for a girl your age
and height should be 138 pounds.
Try to build up to 125 anyway. I
do not know what causes the white
spots and they aren't worth any ef
fort to be rid of them. Your writing
is legible, but not particularly beau
tiful. Ts He Reasonable?
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am a young
woman of Percival, la. I am going
with a young man who I think lots
Of. I also think lots of a girl here,
but the young man says that if I
don't quit running with her he is go
ing to quit me. Which would you
go with. Yours truly,
A CITIZEN OF U. S. A.
Is the young man's request rea
sonable? Is the girl not a fit asso
ciate? - If she is a fine young woman and
the man is merely asking you to quit
going with her to satisfy his own
whim, I would not grant his request
If he has a good reason for making
it, I would certainly consider it
Twas Ever Thus.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I met a young
chap through flirtation. Wa seemed
to care for each other a great deal.
For the last two weeks we have been
going out steadily. He told me he
intended to be away from the city a
few days, stating that in case he did
not leave the city he would call me
up without fail. I met him casually j
later: he greeted me, but did not at
tempt to converse with me. I have
not heard from him since then.
Kindly advise me what to do, as I
care for him a great deal.
GYFSY.
That is ever the way of flirtation
acquaintances, Gypsy! They do not
stand the test of time. To begin with,
the girl is at a disadvantage, be
cause she has inspired no particular
respect for herself in the young
man's mind. And men are pretty
conventional, after all. The good old
principles about nice girls are there
somewhere beneath the surface
Implanted ' by the - conduct of an
adored mother or sister. You ask
some nice boy if I'm right on this,
And then Just apply his answer to
your future conduct.
The Sight That Met Madge's Fyet
on the Wood Road.
Like many another adventurer, the
farther I journeyed in my earth 'rr
temporary freedom, the le joyou
and free I felt.
At Southampton I hegan to won
der bow tiling were going at nonie.
Vhe Shinnecotk hills ure robbed of
tl eir lure by qualms as to the worry
which tii v unexplained abeinc might
(tue Lillian and my mother I in-Uw.
and at Good Ground a new and terri
tyiitu thought struck me squarely,
Suppoae becaue of worry cau.ed by
my abienre, the watch always kept
upon Junior should be relaxed ami
he inert with tome accidmt an aui
dent that would be mv fault!
My little excursion into the realm
of what is so touchingly known
among our ultra-mndern circles as
"living one'i own life," stopped ab
ruptly right there, I turned the car
around so swiftly that I almost
rammed an tinotTciiding countryman
driving the other way. ifeedle alike
of his indignant glare and his shouted
objurgation, but with a hasty glance
over my shoulder for the possible
proximity of a traffic officer, I sped
back over the road I had come, with
only one thought in my mind to
reach home as quickly as possible.
Irrrsiotihly my own actions and
reaction reminded me of those of
the small boy of tradition who runs
away from home, only to Imd hun
self drawn back attain bv a hundred
pulling cords. The small boy's
grouch often starts with a parental
whipping, mine had its inception in a
conjugal tongue lashing I stopped
my mental comparisons with a jerk,
l-or while the small Iny had to re
turn submissive, I had no intention
I told myself firmly, of yielding to
Dicky s absurd demand w hen 1
should see him again.
Homeward Bound.
Most women are kittle cattle when
it comes to following any line of
conduct which comes in conflict with
their affections. I have found that
out before, in my own experience,
and the fact was borne in upon me
more and more forcibly as I retraced
the road along which I had rushed
with such fury and freedom of spirit
but a few minutes before.
For, try to keep them elsewhere as
I would, my thoughts kept straying
back to Dicky. What had he done
when I dashed away from his brutal
remark?
I knew subconsciously, indeed con
sciously, if I would permit myself of
admit it, that he had not meant
single syllable that he uttered No
doubt, if the aftertime-time ever
came in which we could discuss the
thing calmly, Dicky would deny in
perfect good Jaith that he ever had
uttered such words. But he would
remember them keenly enough in
that first minute of my departure
I knew him well enough for that, and
tried to picture his probable action
Would he make any effort to follow
me, or would he be so angry that he
would return home, not caring for
the time being whether or not I met
with an accident?
A sign flashed across my vision:
'" ''Village Limits of Southampton."
I slowed down the car because
had to make a decision as to my
route in the next few blocks. I could
take the windinjr wood road back to
the farm, or I could continue straight
through Southampton and Watermill
to another direct road past the farm
house. 1 he latter route was shorter,
straighter and a i better road, but
something in my heart . which I

HERBS DSED IN MEDICINES
A Manchester, England, paper
urges the renewed cultivation of old-
fashioned medicinal herbs in Eng
lish gardens. In the United States
they have also gone out of fashion
as a feature of the small garden, al
though they are imported in large
quantities from Turkey, India and
China, where they are grown purely
for commercial purposes, as their
medicinal value is recognized by
many leading physicians. Tons of
Medicinal herbs are used annually in
the preparation of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound, a most
successful medicine for woman's ills.
It contains no narcotics nor harm
ful drugs, and women afflicted with
such ailments should try it.
Foot Fitters
Too many people confuse a perfect fitting shoe
with one that is large and unsightly. The truth
of the matter is: A shoe that is too large is just
as injurious to the foot as one that is too small.
A Perfect Fitting Shoe is by no means large and
cumbersome (as many people suppose), but a
shoe that is constructed to fit the natural lines
of the feet.
Shoe construction, in the past few years, lias
made marked progress toward building shoes to
conform with the lines of the foot; and each day
more people (many who have experienced the
ill effects of poorly fitted shoes others, through
observation and wisdom) realize and appreciate
the vital importance of Properly Fitted Shoes.
We are here to Fit Feet not merely to
sell shoes. Dr. Weeks, our surgeon
f chiropodist, is in this Store to advise
you on your foot trouble. This Service
