The chief rmson they give for raising such a protest is that the wires will interfere materially .with the operation of their radio sale! They contend that the wires would cause interference that would make it almost impossible for them to receive market reports and news of the world by radio.

Whenever the radio currents are flowing in the wiring of a set-—ee is essential. of course. whenever the set is in operation-some of the energy is being continually sent out into the nearby space in the form of other waves and continually got back from this nearby space in the same form. There is a continual relation. that is. between the cur- rents flowing in tho not and the other waves vibrating in the space near the set. Now suppose that you bring your hand or your body close to such a set. Your body is a more or less good conductor for electricity. It tends to absorb the ether waves. This absorption of the wane not only decreases the energy in the set. it also alters the waves so that it distorts the signal or changes the tuning of the set. That is why some sets are so easily disturbed if you place a hand anywhere close to them. If you put a metal sheet around such a set—a so-called IMHO“ will stop a lot of this Mon and disturbance. The metal shield ab- sorbs the stray waves. The shield is grounded so that there is no distor- tion. However. the shield itself may ab- sorb a good deal of energy and thus make the signals weaker. The mod— ern tendency is to avoid the didieul- ties in some other way and not to use metal shields very much. ~ ‘LlNHAT’S [N A NAME; Facts about your name, Its history; Its meaning; whence it was de- rived; lie significance; your lucky day and lucky Jewel. modems none the less lovely and pos- sessing of a good deal of poetic charm. is Imogene. The name has no definite history, and etymol- ogists find it difficult to account for it. but the generally accepted theory is that it is another form of the imagine which is found in Germany in early times. There was an Imagine. of Limburg in 1400. and various other instances of the use of the name by German women. How England secured the name of Imogene is open to specu- lation. It is possible that Shake- speare's heroine established her vogue there. though etymologists contend that it was used by British ladies before the master playwright wrote his vension of the old story of the deserted and betrayed wife. which he so strangely placed at the court of the last independent British prince.

So when applicants come in answer to an advertisement for a position the employer of this sort invariably puts her off. Even if he is quite sure that he will not consider the applicant. he says: "Several young women have applied for the posi- tion. 0! course we shall have to consider them all. If you will come back again tomorrow I can let you know.“ Obviously this is a face-saving expedient. The employer wants to THE YOUNG ilili am will The young lady sacc- fbe way says mpcopieeeuntofiiokgubc" Jane‘s ’ 'aaim mt l zmwnromuw" o I; a save his on face and therefore avoids telling the would-be eta- ployee that she does not qualify for the position. and he also wants to give the employee a chance to save her face. He doesn't want to embarrass her by telling her point blank that she won't do. So the girl in search of a Job goes home. possibly seeks work no more that day. and spends a. good part of the next day to follow up this job, only to be told by the receiv- ing clerk in the cities where she had hoped for work. that "some- one else has been employed." - wno WROJE mm A Series of Popular Quotations from Famous Authors.

Smock Your Own Blouse If You Are a Good Needlewoman. count smocklng as one of your weemplishmonts. the making of one of the new smocked tunic blouses ought to be a fairly simple task. Rinocking never goes entirely out of fashion in the sense that a certain fabric or a certain type of silhouette goes out of fashion. but still there are times when it is smarter than at other times. Just at present it has come back into high fever. One of the ways that drossmaksrs have found smacking very useful is in gathering the full- ness of skirts closely to the hips. it is also used when bodice: are cut in peasant style. gracefully dispos- ing of fullness on the shoulders. In season and out smocking is considered one of the smartest and prettiest of trimmings for baby's clothes. The mother who can smock will find that a little flock or 'sult of pongse or similar silk. with emocking at neck and shoulders is excellent for warm weather wear. The white crepe de chine blouse shown in the sketch has smocking in red. blue and yellow. giving it a touch. of peasant crudonese. In this case the slip and blouse are both made of white crepe de chine, but it would be quite as satisfactory to wear the blouse with a separate skirtproviding it were of some light harmonious material. Last season. or a. season before. a blouse designed for sport er general outdoor wear like this would not have had lorig sleeves. but there is a. persistent movement on the part of the dressmakers and designers to launch long and sometimes compli- cated sleeves at once. and many women have given up entirely the sleeveless frock and the frock with very abbreviated sleeves save for evening wear. ll" you are fortunate enough to " WISE aANb menwnss THAT VEGETAEDE DINNER WENTY years are most people wouldn't have known Just what you meant if you had spoken of a vegetable dinner.

Fundamentally. he was pretty. nearly 100 per cent. human being. He was ensconced. at this mo- ment. among the lovely purple pila ion on the great couch in his studio. He studied a grouping of colors that he had arranged from bits of silk. The knocker sounded. "Come in." he called without moving. Clients and workers came and wont informally. Also. the artist was very kind about taking things on consignment from struggling stu- dents who wanted to get their handi- work beforo the public while they continued their studies at art school. A slim young girl opened the door cautiously. She hesitated. drawing in her breath quickly at the sudden beauty of the studio. She carried a large and awkward package that evidently was not heavy. C. Patterson. observing that she wane stranger-and a girl—dumped quickly to his foot. "Come right in." he reiterated. hospitably. "Are you Mr. C. Patterson my the girl asked, timidly. “I am that person." he said. smil- ing. " Usually the sound of his own full name impressed him and was the cue for a. bit of up-etege manner. Not so. in this case. He.was his real self in the presence of this shy and lovely young stranger. He offered her a comfortable chair while she unwrapped the large package. ‘ "I came from way up in New England—near Boston—to show yen this." she began. “I seem to have such confidence in it.” “What is it?" asked C. Patterson. his curiosity amused while his ad- miration continued to grow. "A little hanging bookshelf." ex- plained the girl. "I have been mak- ing them by the dozen for two years and not until I heard of you through a friend of your mother did I see‘a way to market them. I feel that they are just what is needed in this day of small spaces in city dwell- inga." The decorator nodded. “They are in some of my work. I see their hang like a picture. Very clever. iou say you make them?" ’ “Yes—J, was always handy with tools and I have a. carpenter shop in father's old barn." “Your name?" asked 0. Patterson ccurteously. "Daisy Wier.” replied the 1. Something irresistible in t e hold his habit had on C. Patterson Lomax made him revert for a moment to his superior manner and to remark: “I have just been asked to submit some of my ideas for the 39601118 of Buckingham Palace in London." Daisy was duly impressed but her first glimpse of the man's kindness was very strong and this moment of exterior‘ vanity did not register against him. They went on planning the shelves and by the time the girl was ready to leave her heart was singing at the prospect of her success. Order after order for her little hanging bookshelves reached her in her quiet rural workshop and she found it necessary to make a trip or two to the city to consult. person- ally. with the decorator. “The great C. Patterson is in love at last,“ whispered the gossips. At present she was filling an order for a. client of his who wanted a little hanging bookshelf for the side of each of the twin beds in all of her sleeping-rooms. There was to be an old blue lacquered one for a. mahogany and blue room, a white one for a young girl‘s bed and so on through the entire house. It really was not necessary for the decorator to see the young woman who was making the shelves. but somehow he felt that she should study his plans with him so as to be able to carry cut the lines in harmony. “Why don't you come down and spend a few days in the city at the- same time?" he wrote ther. “And bring your mother. I will turn over my apartments off the studio to you and mu will be most comfortable." Daisy was delighted at the prospect and. seeing how much she wanted to go. her mother consented to accom- pany her. The night before Daisy was to leave for home to hurry along the big new order for shelves, Mrs. Wier was tired out. but she suggested that the young people spend a few hours out together. Perhaps she saw the inevitable result and re- membered that she, too. had been young and in love. "I wonder if it is the secret of achievement." said Daisy, half to herself. \ “What?" asked her companion. ~ “The—the inexplsinsbie happiness I feel." she told him. “It might be—just that—Daisy.“ ventured the artist. Then he drew near to her. His voice was low. rich. resonant. “And it might be the warmth of my love—that you feel.“ "Oh." said Daisy. And after that it took a. long time to find a moment in which to talk of Just what I am‘needing at present all the work they had undertaken.
