PREVENT SUMMER COMPLAINT. MY ENAMELED VASE. I had in my possession an old brown- and-white vase with very good 'lines, but it had an absolutely impos- sibU' red rose painted on one side. I knew nothing of china painting, nor was the vase valuable enough to justify spending even a small amount of money. However, I had some blue enamel, bought at the ten-cent store for my oil stove. I mixed a little black paint with it to soften it into a pretty gray and "flowed it onto the surface of the vase. It dried quickly, covered all the inartistic properties of the vase and left an object not unlike the new high-lustre vases sold in art shops. not be so terribly expensive.

Mr. Jackson, the Episcopalian clergyman, followed hard behind the Jowetts, and was immediately engag- ed in an argument with Mr. Jowett as to whether or not choral communion, which had recently been started ana which Mr. Jowett resented, as he re- sented all new things, should be con- tinued.

"The really dreaful thing about it," continued Mrs. Jowett, refusing the or girl and boy, taking the hops into the different squares together, arm In arm, one hopping on the right foot, the other on the left. If it is a beach picnic, mark out the squares on the sand; if in the woods, outline them with small stones on a smooth piece of gras.s. Play it like the old-fashioned game, throwing the flat pebble first into num- ber ope and hopping after it and out of the square again. The first couple to go through all nine without falling or pulling each other down wins, of course . Bubble Raceâ€" Don't forget the kid- dies. Give them all the laughter they want in a soap-bubble race, encourag- ing them to blow as large ones as possible and giving a prize for the one which blows highest in the air before bursting. Blind and Halt Race â€" This race must be in pairs also. One is blind- folded, the other must lean upon the blind, walking only on one foot, drag- ging the other or hopping. Line the couples up, give the word and see which couple reaches the goal first. The poor blind one naturally goes slowly in caution and they do not make any great headway â€" unless recklessly â€" with such dragging weight However, it is their privilege to take any chances they wish and they usually do, making the race ex- tremely funny. Water BaCtle â€" Most picnics are held near some place where bathing is possible, so there should be .some sort of water contests. Choose sides and line up in the water, knee deep, fac- ing each other. Then give the word and watch the battle. With the hands only, each side splashes the other, try- took it by the nipple route.

At the request of a number of pub- lic bodies of St. John, New Brunswick, the Department of Marine and Fish- eries undertook to establlsih the Euro- pean brown trout In loch Lomond nea-x St. John.

Mrs. Jowett looked sadly round and found that the whole table had been listening to the recitol. Few people have not loved a dog and known the small tragedy of part- ing with it, when its all too short day was over, and even the "lamenteblc comedv" of Mrs. Jowett's telling of the tale made no one smile. Muriel leant forward, genuinely distressed. "I'm so frightfully sorry, Mrs. Jowett; you'll miss dear old Rover dreadfully." "It's a beastly business putting away a dog," said Lewis Elliot. "I always wish they had the same lease of life as we have. 'Threescore r,nd and it's such faithful humble way. Mark my words, there's soemthing shady about it As likely as not she's an absconding lady'b maid â€" but a call commits one to no- thing. She was out anyway, so I didn't see her." "Oh, indeed," said Mrs. Jowett, blushing pink, "Miss Reston is no impostor. When you have seen her you will realize that I met her yes- terday at the Jardines'. She is the most delightful creature, so charming to look at, so wonderfully graceful â€" " "I think," said Lewis Elliot, "that that must be the Pamela Reston I used to know. Did you say she was living in Priorsford?" "Yes, in a cottage called Hillview, next to The Rigs, you know," Mrs. Jowett explained. "Mhor made friends with her whenever she arrived and took her in to see Jean. You can im- agine how attractive she found the whole household." "The Jardines are very unconven- tional," said Mrs. Duff-Whalley, "if you call that attractive. Jean doesn't know how to keep her place with peo- ple at all. I saw her walking beside a tinker woman the other day, help- ing her with her bundle ; and I'm sure, I've simply had to give up calling at The Rigs, for you never know who you would have to shake hands with. I'm sorry for Jean, poor little soul. It seems a pity that there is no one to dress her and give her a chance. She's a plain little thing at best, but clothes might do wonders for her." "There I totally disagree," shouted Mr. Jowett "Jean, to my mind, is the best-looking girl in PriorsforA She walks so well and has such an honest, jolly look.

Beginning by pulling a thread to get a straight edge, I cut a ten-inch square from each of the fronts. In some cases these had bits of drawn work and in others small fragmente of embroidery. 1 bought a spool of No. 80 white thread and six yards each of two patterns of the tiniest lace edging I could buy. 1 rolled the edges of the squares I had cut from the old- fa.shioned blouses and whipped in the narrow edges, and found myself the poesesgor of several dainty handker- chiff.s of which 1 am quite proud. -J.
