Estelle Lee. to come and visit her she planned to have her party dur- ing Estelle‘s stay. They had been close friends at boarding school. but had not met for three years. al- though they corresponded regularly. Marcie. expected to see the same wales; generous, happy-go-luckl’ girl—of course three years older— but still just over twenty. Estelle had always given promise of a oer- tain fair beauty for she had quan- tities of light hair and light brown eyes that were always laughing and merry. The Lees were rich, and Marcia had really thought twice be- fore she considered invitin. fash- ionable Estelle to the quiet atmo- sphere of Old Brooktleld. "My dear." gushed Estelle. when Marcia met her at the station,‘driv- in; the family car herself, "I did not mean to land here the very night of your party—l am sorry. but of course it doesn't matter. .Have my trunks arrived?" (Estelle knew very Well that her trunks had not left home as yet. owing to her putting off her departure until the last moment.) "Why, no. I am afraid they have- n’t come yet. What—" "It doesn't matter." interrupted the guest hurriedly. "I just put an evening frock into my suitcase for emergency. so I will be quite all right. Now, tell me about yourself. for from the brief look I have had you have developed into wonderful beauty! You were such a plain little thing. too!" "What nonsense," laughed Mar- cia. “You see with the eyes of love, Estelle." ' "Is it going to be a wonderful party?" demanded Estelle. secretly jealous of Marcia's beauty. After dinner the girls repaired to the second floor. Estelle. of course. occupied the guest chamber, which ndjoined Marcia's pretty room. and there was much running back and forth and laughter. and “do you re- members," as they dressed for the evening. But all the fun and frolic seemed to die out as Murcia showed her new gown for the occasion. It was of apricot taffeta. with touches of silver. "Estelle. have you ever met Paul Leroy?" Marcia was doing her hair. and had hnr hack to Estelle's room. but the lovclicst look came into her! eyes when she spoke of Paul. Their friendship was fast ripening into love. and Marcia. was finding it in— creasingly difficult to mention the beloved name. Estelle shrieked with delight; "You don't tell me that he is comingf tonight?" she cried. “Why, I met: him last summer at Arliss Lake. and we had a perfectly gorgeous time. Isn't he handsome?" "He is fine looking," agreed Mar- cia. fastening a little bandeau of tiny silver leavvs about her black hair. Estelle. hcr head in the wardrobe. where her suitcase stood, uttered an- other shriek, this time one of dis- may. "Oh. Marcia." she cried dis- mally, "that stupid maid has made the greatest mistake! She didn't put in my frock after all—I'm sure I saw her put it iii—everything else is here." and she began to paw dis- trectedly among her things. Marcia. came running. and they both searched. but there was no sign the dress, which would have been easily found. of course. if it had been there (or if Estelle had not cleverly rolled it up and stuffed it in the bot- tom of a clothes hamper five min- utes before)! "There is only one thing to do. dear," said Marcia. looking pale and unhappy, but managing s. pale smile in the bargain: "you must wear my new gown. and I have a white crepe dechluethatwilldo. Iwfllputa silver girdle about it, and it will do nicely—mot a word—just take that and put it on. it will fit you all right --I want to be proud of my guest. you know!" Estelle protested. even while she hurried into the apricot silk. "You are sure you don't mind?" asked Estelle. pduslng in the door to view Marcia in the simple white dress; it was not very becoming. for it made her look paler. but. Estelle. satisfied that the splendor of the apricot sY’ik would put Marcia into the shf‘le so far as Paul Leroy was concer ed. went serenely on her way. Somehow, she could not bear to think of Marcia looking so lovely as she would in the new dress. and so she had compelled her to offer it. and wear the old white one. She rather dreaded meeting Mrs. Scott's keen blue eyes. The meeting was one of surprise on the part of Mar: cia's family. The apricot silk had been the subject of much talk, for new frocks were not very plentiful in the large family of Professor Scott. Estelle explained, flashing her eyes and all her dimplcs fill‘ the benefit of the assembled family. They ac- ctptcd the situation gracefully. but each and everyone thought poor Marcia was a good scout to give up the dress. Mrs. Scott hurt-ind up- stairs to aid Marcia. if necessary. Mrs. Scott was very lhfifflllflil,‘ and it was she who discovcrcd the apple green dress inside the clothes ham- per. She forced Marcia to put it on. and the result was charming. Downstairs. she found Estelle and whispered to hvr: "You will be glad to know that l found your frock and 1 have made Murcia wear it; 1 real- ly like it beticr than her own. don't you?" and the confused guest al- most choked with rage when she saw the dazzling effect of Marcia in apple grcen! "You look like an apple blossom caught in a silver monnhonm." Paul Leroy told her, and Estelle heard every word. "You should always Wear that r‘ulnl'. Marcia. Your father says “'9 may announce our trigagement tonight." And Estelle docs detest shades of apricots!

We are blessed with health. but think nothing of it until we are stricken with illness; we are blessed with opportunity from which we frequently turn with a sneer; we are blessed whh friends whom we often snub; we are blessed with great institutions of learning, with peace, and the normal measure of content, but our appraisement of these ‘splendid things is dulled in our Aques‘t for tinsels and empty vanities.

And it may be that so long as we are perfectly conteniid with the sort of underthings that we wear and quite unwilling to adopt any other sort. it will go hard with the fashion makers to persuade women to make any radical change in their mode of dress. it! we do eventually adopt the bouffant skirt. we shall have to take on ruffled nnderskirtsmfrilled skirts. possibly sturchcd skirts.

One of the most amazingly popular gar- ments of the generation is the .under slip, that is worn now by al- most every woman, for almost every occasion. In the mean time sufficient variety can be effected izy the variety in fabric and trimming. Quite recently there has been a distinct renewal of interest in linen as a fabric for under things. In the trousseaux of several June brides there were D R a. By MARY MARSHALL Copyright, :m. by The McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

They consist of nightgown, step-ins and slipHometimes of white linen trimmed with cream thread lace. but oftener of some delicate tint— green, rose. orchid, yellow or blue. The fact that linen has dropped in price and improved much in quality since the war brings ,lt within the reach of many who re- garded it as out of their reach a few years ago. Bethin Suite Are an Essential of Oh" ren's Wardrobes" Whether or Not They Go to Lake or Seashore. come to be an essential in every child’s summer ’ ward- robe whether or not the child gets within a hundred miles of a sea or lake bathing bea'ch. There are al- ways clear streams or pools large enoughlfor a child to wade in, and even a. garden fountain and a few feet of rubber garden hose seem to provide sufficient excuse for a child nowadays to sport a bathing suit. One busy mother of several young children has solved the dress prob- lem for her children. to her own satisfaction at least, by dressing her children in bathing suits every day and all ’day when they are at their summer home in the country. For a very few afternoon occasions they are put 'into regulation wash suits and underclotnes. For the rest a one-piece bathing suit is put on tfresh every morning. Laundering them consists simply of washing them and hanging them up in the sun to dry. a.

For the nurse or mother who must keep her eye on children on the beach. to see that they have not gone too far out or are not wading in too deep water. there is advantage certainly in hub in; a child clad in s. bathing suit sufficiently distinctive and bright enough to be seen quickly and dis- tinctly. This summer there seems to be some sort of decorative note on almost all the otherwise plain jersey suits. if you wish to be economical you might get one of the plain jerscy suits and embellish it with embroidered animals of some sort. Or you might make small cut-outs from talus oil cloth and sew them into position. Table oil cloth is used. you know. quite a bit to deco- rate own adult bathing suits. New Things to Shop For OVELY summer afternoon and L evening frocks of georgette are posed over a slip of satin which is trimmed with artificial flowers. They show through the georgette most entrancingly. . A lingerie frock of embroidered mull is worn over n blue silk slip. There is a girdle of blue velvet worn under the mull, drawu through it at the front and tied in a big bow. A good mdny hats are trimmed with flowers laid smoothly beneath a covering of geergette. net or chif- ’ fon. A white felt hat is handed with white ribbon which shows a piping of folded gilt kid. A most attractive set consists of a hat and scarf made of printed blue net. The figures are in rose and green on the blue ground. The hat is. of course. mounted on a wire frame. The scarf is wide and long. and is edged by a plcot worked in rose color. g __ White and a mixture of ten and blue. all in tweed. are used:in a smart skirt. for sport and country wear. The two tweeds are cut and stitched to form up-and-down stripes. Pak'yeiiow crepe de chine is fash- ioned into a frock trimmed with bands at neck and sleeve of white linen. embroidered in red. blue. green and yellow cross-stitch. There are new hats containing where cigarettes are held. The gold tips of the cigarettes just show above th! little pocket and thus form part of the decoration of the hat. A handkerchief slipped into a bit of a pocket also provides part of the trimming. A big velvet rose on a hat is sur- rounded by furtber petals and. of ribbon, so that. the rose is almost as big as the hat in the end. . Real lace is enjoying a vogue it has not bad for several years. It is used as collars for black street frocks. and in this way is particu- larly effective. It also appears on ‘ chiflon and georgette frocks. Many interesting evening , frocks have a single flower or a group of smaller flowers at the shoulder.

Chocolate is reely derived from two words signifying cocoa and water and chocolate. is the word applied usually to the paste formed by grinding the cocoa kernels and making them into a paste with wet . sugar and other substances. Str ctly speaking the coco or cocoa is the coconut tree. and it is only through long confusion that the chocolate tree is given this name. The seeds of this tree when roasted and bucked are called cocoa-nlbe and it is not until they have been ground and mixed with various substances that they be come chocolate. When the alias are ground without such treatment they become cocoa. Between a gardenia and a camellia? ' These two flowers. sometimes confused in the minds of those whose knowledge of nowers chiefly comss from those that bloom in the milliners' garden. are both named after botanists. It was Joseph Camel. a jesuit, who first described the blossom later named for him. He lived nearly three hundred years ago and traveled in Eastern Asia where he found these charming flowers and was the first European to describe them. ' , The gardenia was named after a Dr. Garden. a native of Charleston. S, C.. who lived some century and a half ago and first made a study of the flower named for him. which was a native of the Cape of Good Hope and parts of Asia. There really seems to be very little in common between the flow— ers save that they are both of waxy whiteness. In nature's 'gerden there are no rose or red gnrdenies though there are red camelias. Between black pepper and red? The plant that yields the red pepper, so called. isn't even a dis- tant cousin of the plant that pro- duces black pepper. in fact. red pepper isn't even derived from a pepper plant. but from capsicum. The plant that gives green peppers. both sweet and hot. is also a capsicum. They were originally found only in South America. Black pepper is derived from the dried berries of the pepper plant. White pepper is obtained' from the berries from which the pulp has been taken. and is somewhat milder than black pepper. Red pepper is identical with Cayenne pepper. both of course being capsicum. ' Between cantaloupes and musk- melons? Many persons call muskmclnnfi cantaizmpos on principle—feeling perhaps that the name is a littla more dignified or cultured. As a matter of fact only acertaln variety of musk melons should he called cantaloupes. They came originally from the town of Csntalupo in Italy. Theyare ribbed and somewhat long. From the most ancient times musk- been cultivated in warm countries of the Orient. in this country the word melon is as likely to indicate a watermelon as .a muskmclon. In England, however. where the watermelon is uncommon or unknown-the word melon is used instead for muskmelon. As usuall_\~ employed at the pres- ent time- a broth is made by mailing or simmering meat and bone. with— out the addition of a great deal of other food. Clear broth is much like a clear meat stock. “’e speak of invalid broth. understanding thereby a pure broth from chicken. lamb, beci’. clams or other meat. Originally a soup was a liquid in which something had been soaked. It is the general term now for any sort of liquid dish of a savory sort served before meat or fish. A puree is a thickened soup of some sort. “ lsnt't It Adorable ? ’ ’ NCE young “girls were taught that if anyone expressed ad- miration for a hat. frock or other bit of apparel the proper thing was politely to belittle the article admired. "Oh, this frock is very simple and inexpensive. It does not ~ compare with yours..." or "How kind of you to say that, when I feared it was most unbecoming.” of that sort. But that sort of thing seems to have been put away with other Vic- torian manners. "What a channing hat." says one young woman of today. "Isn't it perfectly adorable?" re- , plies the other up-to-date young woman. "That's a delectable scarf.“ says one. - "Isn't it divine?" comes the an- swer. "I saw them at Dani‘s—ell colors—I went into perfect ruptures over them and wanted to order st‘; least ‘a dozen. but I could aflord only three." Then when a girl became engaged‘ she was supposed to make some he- littling rejoinder when her friends praised her dance.
