Even in the elaborate lingerie gowns the coat or a natty little lace vest Is an im portant feature, and In the more ex pensive afternoon and evening cos tumes the coat of hand-made lace or embroidery is an item that makes deep Inroads upon the exchequer.

OBY ARTHUR A. GREENK. NCE. so many years ago that Mamma waa willing to tell her honest true age, there lived In a far-off' country a mighty giant named Bug-a-Boo Bill. Now, he was the largest and most savage of all giants and was the terror of the whole land. He lived In a great stone castle on the top of a very high mountain, and when ever he was angry, which waa often, he vented his spite by rolling rocks down the mountain-side upon the villages in the valley. So in this way many good people were killed and many pretty homes were destroyed. The wise men from the city called these terrible disasters land slides, and said they were caused by melting snows, but the country people knew that it was only the wicked old giant in one of his tantrums. In order that any child may understand what a monster Bug-a-Boo Bill was, I will tell you that his head was as big as a school-house, his arms stretched out as far as a bridge, and his legs were so long that he could step clear over the highest trees. He was so-tall that he c? reach up "nd touc the sky by standing on tiptoe, and he used to make !?.. n m tne Mon very mad by tickling him under the chin. When he went to sleep he always snored. Thus it happened that whenever there was a noisy thunder storm, the people In the valley knew that old 'Bug-a-Boo was taking a nap. When he was hungry he would lie down and open his mouth wide and have his slaves drive cows and pigs and sheep into his mouth, and then he'd crunch them up and swallow them down. Bometlmes It took as many as four cows for his dinner, but generally It was nine 1 8ev.er 1 " W nine. When he waa thirsty he would go out and drink "S W.hoi?. Hver' and dldn,t care the slightest bit because the boys had no place to go swimming. I forgot to say that he had two slaves who were as tall as church steeples and as fat as gas-tanks. They also had big red eyes and green whiskers. Now at night Bug-a-Boo and his slaves would come down the mountain-side to the valley after something to eat. and that's why all the little boys and girls covered up their heads when the went to bed and Papa locked all the doors, for Bug-a-Boo was never known to hurt people who stayed at home and minded their own business. But If anybody was gadding around late at night, he was sure to get stepped on or pinched on the ankle, and It's an awful thing to be pinched on the ankle by a really, truly big giant. Well. then. Bug-a-Boo and his slaves would help themselves to arm fuls of cows and pigs and sheep and go back to their castle, where they could gobble up the poor cows and things whole. All the men down In the valley got awful mad at the naughty giant, and they talked together about It. They were brave men, like Papa, and made up their minds they'd just get an army and go up and kill Bug-a-Boo Bill. They waited "till one day there was a terrible thunder storm 'which made such a racket you ; a lmns; a the men knew that the giant was sound asleep and snoring harder than usual. Then all the men, with guns and swords and cannons, marched up the mountain to kill Bug-a-Boo. But when they got pretty close to the castle Big Bill rushed out of the front door and said Boo!" just like that. And all .the army ran back down the mountain just as fast as they could go My, but they were scared. Of course that was enough to make any giant mad. to have an army come after him and then run away; so he sent word that he was going to go down to the valley and just swallow 'em all down, even the chil dren Then everybody was terribly afraid. Now In the village there lived a little boy and his baby sister. He was 8 and she waa 6. and they had a pet calf called Gladys, which they loved very dearly, well, one day they couldn't find Gladys anywhere, and so they thought the awful giant had stolen It. They didn't stop to think 'about how bad he waa and that he might hurt them, but they wanted their pretty calf and liy "w. 1( they A h the castle before dinner and were kind to the giant and told him how they missed Gladys, who had neveT done their little pet calf back. They didn't say anything to anybody, but slipped out of- the house and started up the mountain. Little Sister cried some be cause she was afraid they would be too late, but Brother held tight to her hand and helped her to hurry, so she quit crying, and they both looked brave andEne trudging along 100Ke(1 a long time they came to the great castle, and they called as loudly as they could: "Oh, Mr. Giant! Please let us have Gladys back." Well, when they heard old Bug-a-Boo Bill rum bling around inside the castle thev ad,ttle fl"ls:htened. but they just stood there and looked as brave as they could, and didn't cry a bit. Pret- tJ0?1 'd BU1 came out- and he was awful to look at. But when he saw who was there he actually laughed. It was the first time he had ever laughed in his life. it was a nice laugh, too; pretty loud, but It sounded real good, and he didn't look a bit fierce. Then they told him about how they loved Gladys, and how they wanted her so much. Well, will you believe It, the giant didn't gobble them up or do anything but look at them and smile. Then pretty soon he told them they could have Gladys back, and to come on Into the castle. Brother and Sister did, and Mr. Bug-a-Boo showed them all over the place. He gave them the finest candy you ever tasted and the loveliest toys, and said they might keep them. Then he told them they might come up every Saturday and play in the castle, and that he wouldn't be a bad giant any more, and wouldn't steal, nor "Boo," nor any thing but be a good giant, just be cause they were not afraid of him like the army, and trusted and loved him FJ lare, Beautiful, Imported Amohora Artware for This Week, One-Half Price ' n!T " 1JSi,IUeS ' -I " 0 at S3.00 Value, at $5.00 value, at " -"- . r .a. -.1 I -.ww t a.j x .qu 3a.oQ j J 1 """" i Take a Camera on Your Sunday Walk Picturft-talvino- at: H rni have begun in earnest.

I .H J when everybody else hated and feared him. Then he had the slaves bring Gladys and all the toys and candy and pretty clothes they could ' carry, and take Brother and Sister back to their home In the valley. They were almost sorry to leave the kind giant, but they prom ised to come back every Saturday. Ever since then Bug-a-Boo Bill has been the best giant that ever was. He has never done anything: wrong. All the people in the valley love him now because he is so kind to them. He gives them all the money they want I forgot to say that he was very rich and he makes them all happy In many ways. He laughs all the time now a little too loud sometimes when Mammas want? to sleep In the after noons and is nice and pleasant all the time. He loves all the children awfully well, but I know he likes Brother and Sister best because they were not afraid of him and were the first ones to be kind to him. And that is the way that Bug-a-Boo Bill's heart was softened, and every body has been glad and happy ever since. SimpleRules for Cake Making CAKE LESSON WO. 4. 1 BT LILIAN TINOLK. YOU will almost Invariably find that the expert cake baker confine her self to a few foundation ripes like the old darky mammy who furnished "fo'teen diffrunt kinds of cake" for a party "all beat up In the same bowl, honey." Here are some of the typical "rules" which the beginner should learn by heart to use as starting points. Then 14 times 14 variations can be successfully played on them: Standard Cake This is a rather plain cake, best eaten fresh, and very suit able for family layer cakes with fruit or nut fillings. Mix by method 1 or 2. VA cup butter. cup sugar. 2 eggs, H cup milk. 1H teaspoons baking powder, lvt cups flour. 1, 2, J. 4 Cake This is richer and there fore does not dry out so soon. It Is good for loaf, layer or small cup cakes. Mix by method 1 or 2, 1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, 4 eggs, cup milk or water. 3 teaspoons baking powder. Many favorite white cakes, with various lovely names, are based on this rule by the substitution of 7 to 10 egg whites for the 4 whole eggs. In such cases the formula is usually halved to make a con venient quantity for beating. Questions are often asked about the use of all yolks or all whites in a cake. Generally speaking two yolks or two whites are counted equivalent to one whole egg; but in making such a change it should be remembered that the yolks will be richer and the whites poorer In fat than the mixed egg would le and a slight modification should be made in the shortening. In air-entangling power the yolks alone are inferior to the mixed egg or to the whites alone; conse quently a better cake will be obtained If at least one. white is allowed with five yolks. The safer equivalent, then. Is: S whole eggs, 5 yolks and 1 white or 5 whites. Of coarse this Is only "approximate. A better use for extra yolks may be found In custards and salad dressings. Rich Sponge Cake The weight of eight eggs In sugar and one-half their weight In flour. Flavor with the rind (grated) and Juice of one lemon. Mix by method o. in cups tms would read: 1 cup eggs 1 cup sugar. 1 cup flour, sifted before measuring; but working by weight is safer. Baking Powder Sponge Cake This is less expensive and easier for the begin ner than the regular sponge eake given above. 4 cups sugar, S eggs, cup water, 2 teaspoons baking powder (or equivalent In soda and cream of tartar). 1 cups flour; flavor with lemon Juice and rind. Mix by method 3. Angel Cake There are people who call U by a very different name, because of the trials, domestic and digestive, caused by amateur attempts with this old fa vorite. 1 cup egg whites. 1 cup sugar. 1 cup flour, V4 teaspoon cream of tartar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, rose water or orange flower water. Mix by method 8, modified by the absence of yolks. Lilghtntng or Railroad Cake Vi cup soft butter. 1 1-3 cups sugar, 3 eggs, hi cup milk, 1 cups flour. 3 teaspoons bak ing powder. Flavor or spice to taste. Mix by method 4. Dried fruit to the ex tent of half a pound may be added at discretion. Kggless Cake 3 cups flour. 2-3 cup sugar. H cup butter (or butter and' lard) H teaspoon salt. 4 teaspoons baking pow- der. grated ring of 1 lemon (or spice to taste), milk to make a drop batter. Mix by method 5. This, like the others, may be varied by the use of fruit, nuts car roway seeds, chocolate, etc. Eggless Gingerbread 1 cup molasses 1 cup sour milk. 2j cups flour. 1 tea spoons soda. 2 teaspoons ginger, i tea spoon salt, 14 cup shortening. mFx bv method S. The shortening may also be melted and added to the wetting innead of being rubbed Into the dry ingre dients.
