Aromatic Pillows
LET one whose summer or autumn
vacation is to be spent in open
. country or where woods and
pastures are within easy reach re
member that balsam fir la by no means
the only desirable material furnished
the maker of pillows by that most
genera us friend All-Out -doors.
Orowlng luxuriantly In many parts
of the country, one finds the aromatic
bushes of sweet fern which Is hardly
to be considered a real fern at all, be
ing In reality a low shrub. Clipped
fret of hard twiga and dried carefully.
It makes a most fragrant pillow, and
retains Its odor quite as long as does
the balsam fir.
Then there Is the tall sweet clover
(Melllotua), whose beads, clipped free
of leavea and heavy stem parts, and
dried between sheets of clean newspa
per, make a deliclously fragrant rest
pillow well worth the little trouble
taken ta gather and bring home the
bloom.
It is not so easy to get enough rose
geranium leaves to dry for a wee rest
pillow, but If one happens to have a
aummer garden of one's own, and
"specialises" In scented plants, thin,
flat, quilted sachets filled with dried
rose geranium, lavender or lemon ver

laid between one's cheek aid a down

Above all. If where hops are grown,
make especial effort to procure
enough for several pillows, "and then

aleep when other medicaments fall.
THE MAN WITHOUT EXEMIES.
HEN a good man dies, his
friends like to say that "he had
not an enemy in the world."
They intend it at a compliment, but
it isn't In the first place, it isn't true.
No man ever lived who had not an en
emy. If he had no other, he was an ,
enemy to himself.
But if it were true, it still would be
no compliment
A man without an enemy would be a
nonentity.
No man who ever accomplished any
thing, who stood firm-footed for a prin
ciple, who defended a belief, who built
up an enterprise or benefited a comun
ity, did it without creating enemies.
All progress makes for enmities, and
the measure of a man's usefulness quite
often is the nature of the enemies he
has acquired.
If the world had been peopled by
"men who have not an enemy in the
world," the, world today would be as it
was when it was created.
But for the men who have made ene
mies by standing for progress and im
provement, we would still be wearing fig
leaves in the tropics and bear skins in
the Arctics.
About the only good thing which can
be said of some men is thst they hsve
made bitter enemies. But at that they
have achieved more than the man who
has none, for even the enmity they have
engendered has stirred other men to
greater effort.
The "man without an enemy" is use
ful only as an ornament.

For Rubbing Pumps
PUMPS, the best fitting of them,
will slip at times, causing un
due annoyance in wearing out

has not experienced the pain of heel

eliminate the heel rubbing problem.
Use a healing salve on the heel if ii

them to come to a porch tea at her
house. When they had all arrived ahe
brought out a huge tray piled high
with balls of colored yarn, paased them
about When every one had a ball ahe
gave each one one of those spools that
children knit reins over and told
them to go ahead and knit up her balL
The balls had each been wound of a
different length of wool, eo they would
not all finish at the same time, and
there wasn't enough yarn in them to
make the task tedious. The girl who
finished found a tiny white slipper In
the center of her ball filled with rice.
The next girl found a little round box
containing a molasses kiss done up In
pink paper. Next came a bisque Cupid,
a little china turtle dove, each girl
discovering some little true-love em
blem. Of course, the hostess was the
last to reach her favor, which waa
her ring ta a box.
After the party the spools with more
worsted were sent to the children's
ward In the hospital.
for this trig little garment, the under

buttonholing has been worked through

The petticoat la a triumph ta potnta.
The whole effect la done by buttonhol

the skirt edge. Dots are added and
long eyelets through which a ribbon

Nightgowns have a way of being
