They are fairly mad over white pongees and a white imported crepe from China and Japan. Not that colors of the gayest and most radient shades are less popular than they were, but that milady wearies of continuous brilliance and seeks relief in white. Numbers of white silk and jersey suits have disappeared from the shops almost as soon as they ap pear and new frocks of white silks and pongee arc shown. . . With the imported clothes comes also a touch of the Oriental idea of design and trimming. Stately loose frocks with a touch of Oriental embroidery have an air of elegance and are quite exclusive. Others are of Russian . effect and some are plainly American with belts and pleated skirts, long sleeves, square collars and cuffs. Frequently .a dead white suit or dress is enlivened by a touch of rose, pink, blue, green or orange. And sometimes a belt of black and a bit of black on the collar are added. A new pongee that appeared in a ' shop window yesterday has a Russian iff" GERTRUDE F.

An other white pongee frock has a simple waist with georgette crepe trimming and a high, wide girdle. The skirt is extremely wide and falls in innumer able soft ripples. Women who wear white shoes on the rainy Btreets are subject to chagrin and expense, which may- be spared by wearing the new white toe rubbers, that fit snugly over the boot. So white and soft are the rubbers that they can scarcely be detected. The SiiNDiwi Stokt By Mrs F. A-Walker. Billy and the Mouse BILLY was tired and warm. He had been raking hay all day down in the back lot and the sun was hot. As the noontime bell rang out from the village, sounding clear across the yel low fields, Billy stopped, and, taking out his lunch, found a big log under the shade of a tree that overhung the path Now Billy was a little New England lad. He was accustomed to work and had always helped his father about the farm. But now father was In tha Revolutionary Army and tho boy had a great deal to do. As he sat eating he heard the sound of galloping hoofs, and around the bend in the road came another farmer boy at full tilt. "Billy," exclaimed the rider, "pa says the men in town will depend on you tonight. We heard that some Britishers were coming up from the east. We expect you to stay up in the top of the old mill, where they swing thea big bell, and if you see any of the enemy coming just give her a big, hard, long ring and we will know the English are coming by this road." Billy promised and the boy rode away. All that afternoon he worked to ,;et in the hay, and by supper the field was clear, the barn almost burst ing with the crop it held and a very tired lad sat eating his bread and milk. "Mother," he said about 8 oclock as he saw the moon rising behind the woods. "I will be away tonight to watch for the enemy. Please fix me ap a. unch." So in a few moments Billy was on his way to the old mill, his lunch in his pocket and a lantern in his hand. The eld steps creaked as the boy set his foot on them, but he went up slowly till he stood in the tiny open ing beneath a huse bell that gently moved in the stiff wind. At his feet lay road and meadow, and just about half a mile away was the village in which the lights had begun to gleam. The night air softly caressed his face; the moonlight made the whole world below a fairyland. It was very quiet here and very soothing the boy found that he was beginning to nod. Sitting down In a corner to rest, he did not know that his head fell for ward on his breast and he slept. Eut presently a rough, hand shook him and he felt a' rope being placed around his body. "What is the matter?" he ex claimed, in anger, starting to his feet. "Nothing, sonny," laughed a man with a red uniform on. "I am a Brit ish troo'-er. I was scouting through here and saw you climb up here. I know you are oa the Match and mean to sound a warning if my men come this way. Well, I guess I will fix you till morning." The soldier took the rope and tight ly bound the boy's legs. Then he wound it around his arms and body, so that he could not move, at all. "I will lean you up against this post," he said, "so in the morning you can call to your friends to release you, but for toniIit you are safe." In another moment the trooper had clattered noisily down the steps and vanished. Wild with anger, Billy fought and struggled, but all he could do was to get his right hand free. But he cojld not reach the knot which tied the cord. Just then he caught sight of a mous and an idea came into his head. That mouse could free him. In his pocket was a bit of fat from the lunch he had brought He would rub that on the. thin cord and the mouse would nibble it in two. He glanced down the moonlit road. Far off, about five milts away, he could see the light flashing on the guns that a marching company bore on their shotilders. "The British they are coming: if I could only reach the bell!" he said to himself. There was not a moment to lose. With his right hand he rubbed the rreasy meat in the cord at his waist. Then he s'.ood perfectly still. The mouse smelted it, ran about In search of the meat and finally crept up the boy's leg-. It halted at the greasy part of the rope and began to cut into it with its tiny teeth. His oooooOooooooooooo an aillllllllllllllll eyes were fixed first on the line of marching men he saw creeping toward him, then on the tiny mouse nibbling away at the cord. "Cut, cut, cut," vcnt th3 we teth. "Tiamp, tramp, tramp." came on the night air. At last the cord was almost cut in two. "Here goes!" exclaimed Billy,, as with a burst of strength he broke the cord at the spot where the mouse had weakened it. Then, seizing the bell rope with both hands, he sent a big "boom, boom, boom," over the moonlit fields and meadows to alarm all the countryside. In another moment the village was in an uproar, the notes of a bugle sang out on the air and the mea rushed to arms. So when the enemy arrived they found a big force ready to meet them a force so big they dared not fight. So thft is how a tiny mouse saved tha town. After the war was over Billy was made Governor of the state, and over his desk always hung the cord with which he had been bound on that eventful night.

Vacation Prospect ana Retrospect VACATION time is coming around again and the thoughts' of many of us are turning to where we shall go or what we shall do. Whether we have but a week and a few dollars or a whole luxurious month and a bank account competent for It, somehow or other with our vacation, as with our Christmas presents, we want to get the full worth of our money. We wish every cent we spend and every minute we give to return us full value in pleasure. Sometimes we squeeze both money and time to get more than their usual equivalent- To a large majority, vacation, is a very pre cious event. How, then, are we going to get from it all we desire? For one thing, by planning within our means, our health, our time, our energy. We can deliberately lay out disap pointment for ourselves by planning unwisely. If we map out a vacation that is going to cost more than we can afford, we will only have worry and friction. If we are counting on a vacation that will outrun our time or energy, or which by reason of dissipation to which we are unused, will be detrimental to our health, we will only reap from It discontent and dissatisfaction. But if we plan wisely we can have a vacation that will return us good measure, pressed down and running over, for all that we put into it. To achieve such a vacation, it will help if we will look squarely at what we want and as honestly to our means of securing It. It is better to face frankly the issue as to what we can or cannot afford either in money or time or energy than to sidestep such scrutiny and trust to luck that we will pull through somehow. "Chancing it" on our vacation either in regard to money or to getting done what we want to do is not conducive to that ease of mind that means unalloyed pleasure. Another help toward a happy vaca tion is to think back over our holidays and see which ones have been plsant est, and then try to find out why they were specially delectable. We may not want to do the same thing again, but Celebrate the 4th in a $4.95 Suit Regularly they're $8.50, 10, and $12. Sport Blouses and Shirts, 50c and $1- Sport Shoes, 60c to $2. Sport Hats, 50c.

Yoo - Hoo II 1 1 we may discover some general quali ties that made these vacations especial ly enjoyable that can be applied to our present outing. It may be because we took our vaca tion leisurely, or because we planned it so well that we did all the things we wanted to do. It may be because we had the pretty clothes we wanted, or because our wardrobe was especially comfortable or suitable. It may be because we met congenial acquaintances or happened to find the amusements that are our particular de light. There might be many such causes that could be repeated in a Summer's outing without our going to the same place or doing the same thing. Then, too, if we could see our vaca tion in retrospect as well as in pros pect, it might help us to the vacation we are so eager to have. If we would try to visualize It as if it is over, our money spent, our dance frocks torn, our body weary from much traveling, we might be able to see if the vacation we PHONE Today is your last opportunity to purchase a No. 25 Ruud Heater for $13.95.

If we can face these vacation vicissitudes with equa nimity, and feel that with them all the balance is still on the side of good, the vacation we desire may be consid ered a success. If then we are of those who want a jolly vacation, if our holiday is a really precious time to us, let's go about planning it with reason. A little care ful foresight and consideration may make up for both the time and money we lacW, no matter how much of each we may have. For, as at Christmas, when vacation rolls around we never have quite enough money or quite enough time to satisfy our desires. Boy Scouts in Camp. SANDY, Or.. June 29. (Special.)
