submarines Many an evening has seen
a motley gathering of artists in uniform
at the Penguin, for many of them were
stationed at th** navy headquarters here
and could get evenings off when their
work was done.
We heard In confidence many of tha
devices that were being used to foil the
U-boats and the artists discussed this
phase of the war, and the concealment
of military works by means of ramou
fluge as earnestly as experts In ordnance
and engineering discussed their problems
of the war
Now I began to pose for many women

nothing but her son—her only son—who

styles are in excellent taste. What ap
peals more to a weary person than an
opportunity to sleep in a clean, daintily
furnished room?
It was within my home that j learned
the charms of white bedroom furnishings
And happily white furniture Ik inexpensive
in comparison to many other kinds
1 had my guest room dressed in dull
white, enameled furniture. I had no un
necessary articles; there wan a bed. dress
ing table and stool and a small rocker.
At present prices this furniture would
cost: Bed. S2O; dressing table. $22.50.
stool, $5 25, mattress, S2O, and the rocker,
$5.30. Tiiis makes a total of $71.80.
I found the white furniture easily
cleaned and that it always looked neat
and appropriate
Single iron beds, enameled white, can
be purchased now for $7.45 with a com
fortable mattress for $lO. These beds
are not only Inexpensive and substantial
but are splendid for the sleeping porch
when their career in th* house has ended.
Cottage furniture, a wood enameled
white, looks well with the Iron beds A
chlflfomer at $lB, a dresser at $25 and a
chair at $3 bring the cotit of furnishing
the room without, curtains and rugs to
S7B 90.
Dotted swiss curtains would go well
with such furniture. It -an be secured
in the 38-inch width for 29 cents a yard.
For *the average window, 8*10”x3‘8.” the
cost of curtains for one window would
b» 75 ventn. Two and one-half yards
are purchased and divided lengthwise into
two pieces 18 inches wide.
I used 10-cent curtain rod* in my rooms
and enameled them white so they would
blend with the furniture and the rooms.
If any bride should ask me about n«-
lecting her bedroom furniture, f should
say that there are two things to remem
ber They are; Buy simple furniture and
only the. necessary articles.

Aort of thoughtful like. "1 wonder how
N urse Jane would like one of those. Babv
liunty?" ■*
They would be fine for her." said ths
little rabbit girl.
"ill buy It." said Unde WlggUy. a nd
he did.
When the washing machine was sent to
the hollow stump bungalow Nurse Jane
didn't know what It was
"Is it a chum to make butter?" shs
asked
Then Uncle Wlggily showed the musk
rate lady housekeeper how to put the
clothes in the tub with the soap and
water, close down the lid and twist the
handle.
"Every time you turn the handle." maid
the bunny, "It makes a thine like a
three-legged stool skidJle and scaddle
around on the clothes, twisting them aJI
up into hard knots untwisting them
aealn. and so joshing ont the dirt -
"t sec." said Nurse Jane "That sounds
fine 1 must try It next wash day."
"And I*ll help.'' said Baby Bunty. "I
wish we could wash today."
"We'll wash the clothes tomorrow,"
said Nurse Jane.
So early the next momtng. as soot, as
Uncle Wiggity had eaten his breakfast
and had started off to lind an adventure
In the woods. Nurse Jane and Baby Bun
ty picked up the soiled clothes and sot
ready to wash them.
Baby Bunty cut up a cake of soap and
Nurse Jane filled ths tub with warm
water,
"Now." said* the muskrat lady. '*yx>u
may help m» bring down the basket of
linen from the beds.”
So Baby Bunty did tbit, but Just as
Nurse Jane was going to turn the clothes
Into the washing machine the telephone
rang in the hollow stump bungalow
"I'll see who Iti a!" cried lively Babv
Bunty. hoping Into the diningroom. It's
lor you. Nurse Jane." said she "Tou
lath and I'll go upstairs and get some of
my doll's clothes They need washing,
too."
Now while Nurwe Jane was at ths
telephone talking to Mrs Rtnbtatt. ths
bear lady wanted to know how to make
a strawberrv shortcake longer, so there
would t« enough for company and while
Baby Bunty was getting out her doll *
clothes the had old Nkeealcks cams

kitchen near ths new machine, and ths
Bke-cieke anid
"He' This is lust my chance' I'll

Fo ths had old Sheosleks hid himself
awar down tn the bottom of ths basket of
clothes whits Baby Bunty was upstair*
and while Nurse Jans was it the tele
phone
And then who should come along hut
Und* YVirrtly, He hadn't found an ad
venture, so he said to himself
“fit go bark to my bungalow and »ee
hew the new washing machine l, work

And when Unrte Wtggtlv reached ths
kitchen and egw the basket of clothes
thst were not ret washed and when he
saw the washing machine, he said.
"Well, I guess Baby Bunty and Nurse
Jane haven't hart time to wash the
clothes. I’ll put them in the machine and
give it a few twists and turns myself!”
And before the bad SkeezickS could flop
out from under the clothes, and get Uncle
Wiggily’* souse, the rabbit gentleman tip
ped the clothes. Skeezicks and all into the
tub of soap and water slammed down
the lid and began to turn the handle,
which skidded the three-legged stool.
And Just as Nurse Jane and Baby
Bunty came into the kitchen, there soun
ded from the washing machine such dis
tressful cries as;
“On. vow' Oh, let me out! Oh. I'm
being washed so clean I 11 never look like
myself again. Oh. splutter!’’
"My goodness, what's that?’’ cried
Nurse Jane. “I didn't know the clothes
nor the washing machine could talk!”
"Uncle Wiggily opened the cover. Out
popped the Skeezick*. all wet and covered
with soapsuds, and he, looked like a cat
that had fallen into the bathtoub.
"This is too much for me!" cried the
.Skee, and away he ran. Then the ma
chine washed all th" clothes very clean
and Nurse Jane liked it very much. And
if the molasßes candy doesn't stay so long
at the moving pictures that it can’t get
up out of the seat. I’ll tell you next about
Uncle Wiggily and the red tulip.
FLOWERS AS
FLY SWATTERS
BY BIDDY BYE.
Now a physician has recently dis
covered a new and very pleasant sort
of fly swatter!
The new discovery is—flowers!
No. one Is not actually supposed to
go about hitting at flies with fresh
bouquets, but the idea is that certain
flower odors are very displeasing to
flies and they will not remain in the
same room where such flowers are
placed.
The monthly pamphlet issued by the
Michigan State Board of Health for
May contains a statement by Dr. W.
H. Smith of St. Clair, Mich., to the ef
fect that the flower enemies of flies
are especially mignonette and white
clover blossoms.
Eeither of these flowers set in vases
about a room will drive out flies. They
must he kept fresh and changed every
other day. Peppermint and spearmint
are also unpopular perfumes with both
flies and ants, and if brushed and laid
about on tables and shelves will drive
the pests to other quarters.
Still another authority recommends
that oil of lavender flowers be used
as a spray on the curtains and carpets
of rooms where flies are too numerous.
Discharged Service
