Interest in Taffeta Frocks.
According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture, every healthy
child of three should have at least one
food u day from each of tlio following
live groups:
First.—.Milk and dishes made chiefly
of milk (most Important of this group
iu children's diet),; meat, fi3b, poultry
and eggs.
Second.—Bread and other cereal
foods.
Third.—Butter and other wholesome
fats.
Fourth.—Vegetables and fruits.
Fifth.—Simple sweets.
The meats should he beef, boiled,
broiled or roasted; lamb chops, the
white meat of chicken, or delicate fish.
All meat should be free from fat, gris-
tle or hone and finely minced when
givfgi to the child.
Eggs should bo very soft boiled, cod-
dled or poached or soft scrambled.
Fried eggs should never be given to a
child, but tbe grated or masbed yolk of
a very hard boiled egg may sometimes
be used.
Cereals should be thoroughly cooked
and served with milk or thin cream
aud a very small amount of sugar or
none.
Fruits should be continually used. At

There is no division of opinion re-

A very pretty one-piece design is pic-
tured here, having a one-piece gath-
ered snirt and a waist that fastens
in semi-surplice effect. The flowing
sleeves have attached one piece cuffs
finished very simple with stitching.
In medium size the dress requires 3-%
yards 36-inch material, with 64 yard

yard extra taffeta for bands cut
lengthwise or crosswise.
To make tbe underbody, first close

PARADISE OF ARTISTS.
Story of a Curious Incident That Hap*
pened In Japan.
(Villiaiu M. Chase, the America^ ar-
tist, used to tell in the course of a lec:
ture on Japan the following story of
an incident iu which he figured in that
oriental paradise of artists:
I was standing ou a railway plat-
form in Japan, Waiting for a train aud
whiling away my time by watching a
particularly beuutiful sunset.
Suddenly a freight train pulled in
and, stopping iu Tront of me, cut off
my view. Being a good American aud
trained in a very projier respect for
“business.” I merely turned philosoph-
ically away and proceeded to look at
something else. Iu a moment, however,
the station master appeared at my
side and luquired with the politest of
bows if I had been eujoyiug the sun-
set.
I admitted that I had and smilingly
accepted his apology for the intrusion
of the train. Of course I recognized
that trains were the first consideration
in stations, I said.
• Imagine my surprise, then, when the
little Japanese shook his head firmly,
“But no," he said, bowing even more
deeply than before; “the train must
not be allowed to obstruct the honor-
able artistic traveler’s honorable aes-
thetic enjoyment”—or Words to that ef-
fect. “I will cause it to withdraw."
And he actually did precisely that!—

A curious custom has been observed
from time immemorial at Old Weston,
Huntingdonshire, iu England. The
church there is dedicated to St. SwHhin,
and on the Sunday most nearly ap-
proaching St. Swithln’s day the edifice
is strewn With new mown hay.
The tradition is that an old lady, be-
queathed a field for charitable pur-
poses on condition that the tenant pro-
vided the hay to lessen the annoyance
j, | caused by the squeaking of the new
1 shoes worn by the villagers on Feast
Sunday. There are other explanations
—one that It is an offering of the first
fruits of the liay harvest, aud another
that It Is a survival of the custom of
strewing the church (when the flooi
was only beaten earth) with rushes.
