When You Plan to Entertain
There is no lovelier time for parties
than now. s
A very attractive luncheon table
may be made with little trouble. Paint
the handle of a toy broom white and
fasten it to a flat board so it will
stand up in the middle of the table.
Cover the board with moss. Wind the

A tall vase of apple blossoms or a

tulle bow tied to the handle is very
effective for a pink luncheon.
A very simple menu would be to

mayonnaise colored pink with vegeta
ble coloring, strawberry ice cream and
tiny cakes iced in pink and white.
A very clever girl entertained' her
sewing club at such a pretty luncheon
last spring. . The table was quite un
usual because there were, no flowers.
She used lace doilies, and in the cen
ter was a little Dresden figure, whose
bouffant skirt was a pink satin pin
cushion filled with needles and pins.
There were four Dresden candlesticks
with tsll pink candles surrounding the
lady,' and the dishes containing the
nuts and candies were small Dresden
baskets. At each cover was a tiny
sewing bag made of Dresden ribbon.
The pasteboard bottom was stuck full
of pins and it opened up for a needle

There are two ways of facing
trouble facing it and coming to con
clusions with it, or running away from
it. The average person who has sor
row, unhappiness or disappointment
to face is very likely to make a futile
effort to conquer trouble, and if that
proves vain to seek diversion as a
means of forgetting.
Sorrow cannot be drowned. It
seems to have more lives than the
proverbial cat. The only way to meet
trouble at all successfully is 'to face it
and conquer it if conquest is possi
ble and if it is not possible to accept
it and arrange life on a practical basis,'
according to your means and depriva
tions. Sorrow that is run away from has
a way of running after. Sorrow that
is drowned has a way of proving that
it still lives. And trouble that is slain
by dissipation becomes at last a
haunting ghost.
Running away from sorrow might
be a practical possibility but for one
thing. None of us can run away from
himself.
"Myself have I ever with me.' said
a great philosopher. And that is as
true a statement as it is simple.
At some stage of life's game every
one is forced to turn and face his dif
ficulty, and when he does he finds
that it is no product of circumstances
on the external world which is caus
ing his suffering, but rather his own
nature.
A girl friend of mine went through
two miserably unhappy love affairs.
When the first man with whom she
fancied herself in love jilted her she
plunged into a round of gayety in or
der to forget him. But she did not
forget. Diversion kept her busy and
gave here the semblance of employ
ment, but deep within herself there
grew a distrust of men ano their loy-altv.
She became reckless and plunged
into a second affair with a man of
whom she knew far too little. And
he proved to be married. Then the
girl sought forgetfulness in travel.

She managed, it is true, to conquer
her longing for the man who had de
ceived her, but she became frightfully
cynical and unhappy, and in her heart
grew grave sjdoubt as to her ability
to attract the right sort of man. - She
began to think of herself as fore
doomed to suffer unhappiness and. dis
appointment in love.
It had never occurred to her to turn
bravely and face the situation. And
then, for a third time, love came into
her life, and for a third time she met
with disloyalty. This time she went
to work. Her one ability lay in de
signing clever hats. At the end of
two years she had a very smart shop
and a great dqal of respect for herself
as a young woman who could make
a place for herself in the world of
work.
Recently she said to me the words
that inspired this article: "No mat
ter how far away I am from the scene
of my suffering, the memory of it
came with me -for it was part of me.
But when I stayed right there and
faced the trouble, and determined to
conquer myself, I succeeded. Good
times and change of scene didn't help
me at all. Work did. When I filled
my mind with, thoughts that centered
on effort and success it just hadn't
any more room for bitterness or
doubt or cyncism."
Trouble is not what happens to you
it is the effect that happening has
on you. Whine or whimper or try to
run away and show that you are a
coward who wants to dodge the issue
and that bully Trouble comes after
and torments you. Turn and face
him and, like all bullies, he runs away.
And then, of course, you need not be
so silly as to run after him.
Whenever there is suffering to b
met take arm -stand and fight it out
on the spot. What you have to con
quer is your own fear and your own
morbidness. And however hard the
task, it can be done by anyone who is
determined to do it and who sets
about learning sanity and self-control
with the grim feeling that she has a
problem to solve and intends to solve
it.

ByCONSTANCS CLARKE,
I Peach short cake is among the

,-, thrm in alirpa and sweeten with
sugar. When the cake is baked, put
on a layer of whipped cream, men
peaches, then cream. Garnish the top
layer with peiches and whipped
cream. Serve at once. ' .

The Duty of Coolness
By WOODS HUTCHINSON, M. D.
We see and hear so much of the
virtue of self-denial, the value of dis
cipline and repression, and the
necessity for keeeping ourselves hard
and fit, that we are apt to overlook
the other side of the shield.
Our earlier preachers of health laid
powerful emphasis on the stern and
unrelenting cultivation of the dis
agreeable cold baths, plain food,
loathsome exercise a(nd come peril
ously near making hygienic virtue re
pulsive and the cult of health a gos
pel of discomfort.
Most of the things you like to do
were bad for you,and almost every
thing specially recommended as
health-giving cold air, early rising
and work between meals was an
abomination to the natural man.
The most important equipment,
next to a poor memory, for living
to be a hundred is. in the archaic
vernacular, "a calm sough," a capac
ity for taking things more or less
silently, easily, and philosophically.
There are times, and frequently, when
a masterly inactivity is the best road
to success, even in war.
Yet we often hear this policy of
taking, things easy, "being good to
yourself," denounced as self-indulgent
and softening, and also as stupid and
not specially tending to develop the
intelligence. And, of course, as an
exclusive policy, or carried 'to ex
tremes, there may be truth in this.
At any rate, indulgence needs to
be mixed with frequent bouts of
strenuousness and hardening and
fighting, but life and the struggle
for existence will usually provide
most of us with plenty of this sort of
experience for corrective purposes,
and there is no need for us to go out
of our way to hunt this or any other
kind of trouble.
As to the charge that "being good
to oneself" weakens the intelligence,
now that we know how to do it scien
tifically, there is nothing that calls
for more brains and good sense, to
say nothing of tact and diplomacy,
than to adjust and condition our sur
roundings to our requirements, by
cutting out friction, worry, waste
fatigue and unprofitable discomfort
There is no better time of year to
begin this intelligent campaign for
"keeping cool and comfortable," ex
ternally, bodily and mentally, than in
the early summer. If there be any
time in the year when one ought to
be comfortable without an effort or
a thought, it is on "a day in June."
June time is the time of peace in
which to prcPr for war. Don't
wait until you are sweating and gasp
ing and heat-prostrated and mosquito-bitten;
beat the enemy to it.
As a first step toward making your
self comfortable for the summer, it
goes without saying that you will put
screens over all the windows and
doors of your house, and screen in at
least one wide porch.
Since we discovered that malaria is
carried by mosquitoes and by no other
means, and that flies carry typhoid,
summer dysentery and other infec
tious diseases, screens have been lift
ed out of the class of mere comforts
and luxuries and have become ne
cessities of life and health.
If you have not wire screens and
can't afford them, or your landlord
thinks he can't afford them, cotton
mosquito-bar screens will serve ad
mirably for one season.
Next to fresh air in the campaign
for coolness and comfort comes the
necessity for abundant bathing and
splashing and sponging with cool wa
ter. In hot weather the bathroom be
comes one -of the most important
rooms in the house, and a refresh
ingly cool bath in the morning and
another one at night should be as
regular as sunrise and sunset.
It is an excellent thing to come
home from business in time to get a
luxurious bath before dinner, and any
time during the day 'that you feel
distressed by the heat, or have half
an hour to spare, it is an excellent
idea to take a bath if possible; When
in doubt take a bath is an important
rule in the game called life.
For children free and frequent
dabbling and splashing and paddling
in water is even more important and
health-projecting than in the case of
adults.
Heat, just plain heat, seldom does
any very serious harm to grownups
who are in fair condition, but to chil
dren, with their translucent skins, and
big brains, and delicate nervous sys
tems, heat is a serious danger. At
times it seems literally to melt them
like an overripe peach, or wilt them
like a lettuce leaf.
Their one protection is in their pro
fuse and abundant perspiration, which
keeps them cool.
Give the little ones a bath at least
three times a day, and let them splash
and rollick and play frog or fish in
the tub as long as ever they wish.
Last, and by no means least, in
the comfort code comes the admoni
tion, "Be good to yourself in the
matter of food in summertime." For
tunately, there is usually an abund
ance of wholesome, appetizing foods
to be had at this time of the year
such things as fruits, fresh vegeta
bles, milk, eggs, butter, ices and ice
cream.
A high place in the summer diet
should be given to ice cream, iced
puddings and frozen custards. Their
combinations of sugar and fat gives
them high nutritive value, and they
are readily digested by a healthy
stomach, especially if eaten slowly,
with plenty of good cake, home-made
cookies or salted crackers.
Every family should be equipped
with a good ice cream freezer, and
should use it at least three times a
week. A couple of nice sandwiches,
a large saucer of ice cream (one pint)
and a opiate of good cookies make
not only an attractive lunch, but a
full meal with a fuel value of over a
thousand calories.
Ut course, you don t need quite so
much of the substantial foods, par
ticularly meat and fat, in summer
as in winter, because they do give a
little extra heat to the body which
is very useful in cold weather, but
not needed now but you can't keep
healthy and in good working condi
tion with a fair, yes, a liberal, amount
of upbuilding food.
. Many people feel weak and de
pressed and grouchy in hot weather
because thev try to live on the prin
ciple that the less we eat the cooler
we keep. Never forget that when
there is real work to do, you must
shovel coal under your boilers to do
it with.
Give yourself the widest leewav
and liberty , in . matters of fit and
color and weight; fit yourself and
ail your (family out with plenty of
cool, light-colored, loose-fitting cloth
ing of inexpensive materials that1 will
wash easily, and then wear just as
little of it at a time as the law al
lows. ,
Fortunately most of the absurd old
conventions about formal dress, and
stiff collars, and black clothes, and
wearing your coat or hat upon all
occasions, at the peril of your life,
have, been done away with, or at least
suspended during hot weather.
On the other hand, everything tii2t
keeps you cool and fresh looking
and pretty, provided it isn't too iip' t
or too stiff, helps to keep you cw 1
fortabte and in a good summer-time
mood.
