Capricious, whimsical, charm ing,
beguiling, unique, graceful, unusual
—one adjective is as applicable ns
another when It comes to describ¬
ing the fanciful wraps which are
lending interest to the summer
style parade.
Very <>ft< n the summery wrap is a
separate theme, but just as often it
is n component part of an ensemble
costume-—which does not, however, in¬
terfere with its doing duty with other
frocks as well as the one to which It
is closely related. In the picture this

adapted to stutiing and rolling. Any

bureau of home economies suggests
one made in this way: Half cupful
of chopped celery and a medium-sized
onion, minced, are cooked in two ta

one-half cupfuls of stale bread crumbs,
one teaspoonful of salt, and one-eightli

Evening Story for Children
By MARY GRAHAM BONNER
“Let’s have an afternoon nail for a
change,” the fairies Shouted.
“Fine,” agreed I bah.
And the Fairy Queen waved her
magic wand, and said:
“The bull will be this afternoon, so
hurry and make ready.”
The fairies ran and flew tills way
and that, and old Mr. Giant came
along, having heard the sound of many
voices, and asked if there was any¬
thing he could do.
“To be sure,” the Fairy Queen
said. “You blow on your great and
powerful trumpet the call of tiie
fairies, and for those you cannot reach
by the call of tiie trumpet, ask the
robins if they’ll take messages for us.
“We want all our usual friends, the
elves, gnomes, brownies, goblins, tiie
bogey family and of course old Witty
Witch.”
“Fine,” said Mr. Giant, “I’ll attend
to the invitations at once.”
So he went, walking almost a mile
a minute!
It was afternoon, and tiie fairies
were all ready for their guests.
Mr. Sun was peeping through the
tall trees and telling secrets to the
trees and the ferns and the mossy
ground which made them sparkle and
laugh.
Tiie shadows had come, too, and
they were already dancing wit!) Mr.
Sun’s children, the Rays.
The Fairy Queen was dressed like
a big red sun and the little fairies
looked like tiny gokien suns.
They were the most dazzling and
sparkling costumes ever seen in
Fairyland, and that is saying a great
deal.
Soon ail the guests arrived. The

| Sun Suits for Youngsters
- mi ni m - m m n n 11 n m i - h -h-
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Ready fur a morning on the beach
—or at the sand pile in the back yard
—these two little girls, dressed iri
their gay sun suits of cretonne and
print, will have all the benefits of the
health-giving ultra-violet rays of sun¬
shine on a large portion of their skin
surface.
Sun liaths should be given to all well
children to ket^i them well and to
many sick children to help make them
well. When the weather perm its ajid
the sun is not too hot, arrange for the
youngster to he out floors in the sun¬
shine as much as possible. Most mod¬
ern children who are well can taka
their sun baths as part of their usual
playtime. Of course, these little girls
have been accustomed very gradually
to playing in the direct sunshine. Short
periods of sunning were given at first,
and the garments worn exposed a less
extensive area of the body. Both the
time and the amount exposed were in¬
creased until a coat of tan was ac¬
quired. commercial
Almost any well-titting
romper pattern can he modified for
use in cutting sun suits, says the bu¬
reau of home economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
(The bureau does not distribute pat¬
terns.) As a beginning it is well to
select a pattern conforming as closely
ns possible to the sun suit desired.
In the picture one little girl is wear¬
ing a sun suit made to match romper,
pattern, fastened at the shoulders in¬
stead of down the back. The front
is cut in one piece. The crotch is
slightly shaped, and the drop seat is
as flat as possible with n deep plait
on each side. The back is cut away
under this piece except for sufficient
material to keep it from pulling out.
The other little suit of durable cot¬
ton print is cut from a pattern that
had a crotch cut on tiie fold of the
material so as to give as much free¬
dom uud protectldn as possible. As
of the white .meat of chicken on it.
On top of the chicken place thin
slices of seedless grapes, press on a
leaf of lettuce and cover with another
slice. Trim, cut into any desired
shape anil serve on lettuce. Other
grapes seeded and chopped may he
used.
Chicken and Almond Sandwich.—
Chop uud mix one-fourth cupful each
of the white meat of chicken and
blanched almonds. Add just enough
mayonnaise to hind, season arid
spread on toast. Garnish the border
with thin slices of pickles, cover with
another slice and serve on lettuce.
Chicken and Brocoli Sandwich.—
(.’hop one cupful of cooked seasoned
brocoli well drained, mix with the
pounded white meat ot a thicken to
make a good mixture. Spread on but¬
tered bread, cover with another slice
and pour over a hot rich cream
sauce.
Cocoa Bread.—Dissolve one cake of
compressed yeast and a tabiespoonfu!
of sugar in two cupfuls of scalded
and cooled milk; add three cupfuls of
flour and beat until smooth. Cover
and set In a warm place to rise—
about one and one*balf hours, then
add one-fourth of a cupful of butter
creamed with one-fourth cupful of
sugar, two eggs well beaten, one-halt
gnomes wore beautiful moss green
suits, with tall hats of moss, the
brownies wore orange velvet suits
with hats of bright orange velvet
very tall with a tassel on top of each
hat. _
'l’he elves wore dresses made of
wild roses. The bogey family wore
dresses of moss trimmed with forget
me-nots, and old Witty Witch wore
a new frock of daisies, with a tail
hat made out of buttercups.
Of course the Fairy Queen was de¬

the front of the suit and the back of
the waist are in one piece, only four
buttons are necessary. However, in
order to make buttoning a little
easier than in the overall type of gar¬
ment, the back of the waist is ex¬
tended at each side so that it may car¬

1 MAKING FRUIT PUNCH |
Mexican cookery is undoubtedly the
inspiration of this good dish for which
the bureau of home economics fur¬
nishes the recipe. If you can not get
chili peppers, use green peppers and
flavor well with tabasco or cayenne,
for the characteristic of nil Mexican
dishes is their high seasoning.
1 pint Kirln^y beans 2 chili peppers
4 tbs. olive oil or l quart tomatoes
butter Salt
l pound lean beef
Wash the beans, cover with water,
and sunk overnight. In the morning
bring titer* to the boiling point, drain,
and discard the water. Gut tiie beef
into small pieties, and brown it in
the olive oil. Then add the beans,
chill peppers, tomato, and salt. Cover
and simmer for one hour, or until
the Deans and meat are tender.
cupful of cocoa, one-lmlf teaspoonful
of salt; knead Fightly arid place to
rise again. Mold into loaves when
light, filling I he pans half full. Use
two and a half cupfuls of flour in tiie
second kneading. This is particular¬
ly good for sandwiches.
Chicken, Ham and Tongue Sand¬
wich.—Chop line one-half cupful of
the white meat of a stewed chicken,
one-fourth cupful of boiled ham and
the same of boiled smoked ox tongue.
Bind together with mayonnaise and
spread <>n thin slices of buttered
white bread. I’ress on a leaf of let¬
tuce and cover with another slice.

“We didn’t change our suits,” Mr.
Woodpecker said, “as we were prac¬
ticing all morning to play the drums
on tiie trees around.”
“We didn’t change our suits as we
were practicing our songs,” said the
orioles, who were so brilliantly
dressed anyway that they really need
not have made any excuse.
“ 1 hen, too.” added the robins, “we
couldn't have changed our suits if
we had wished to do so.”
All tiie birds burst into song then,
singing;
The dear little robins so tiML-ted and
dear.
We’re so very glad that you have come
here,
You add with your voices, you add
with your charm,
And we’ll take good care that veu’ll
ne’er come to harm.
The robins were much pleased with
tiie song, but they didn’t want to have
ail the attention, so they sang this
song;
When the Fairy Queen gives a ball
It’s for all, yes, it’s for all.
Every one then has a‘chance
To sing, to chirp, to play, to dance.
So a cheer fient up for the Fairy
Queen and then tiie music began, and
every one danced ail that wonderful
summer afternoon in tiie sunlight
and- among the afternoon shadows!
And Fairy Ybab led the fairies’ or¬
chestra.
Never had such a lovely party been
given.
The shadows were so fascinating,
the lights through the trees were so
beautiful, and the costumes were so
gay, while the music was really just
perfect.
