Modern Bathroom Gay, Waterproof . By BETTY WELLS Nowadays, foe old Saturday night order of foe bath has gone by foe boards, but just the same, not many of us go poetic over foe rite of bathing through foe winter. Its just one of those things that-hato be done. But with summer foe bathroom really comes into its own. Then bathing is fun in itself. Not to mention its part in summer sports. Thats when a lady with a house really gets around to doing something about the bathroom. If its in for a real doing-ovegive more than a passing thought to foe idea of linoleum for foe walls. Partly because it is so practical. Easy to clean with a damp cloth and besides all comers and baseboards are rounded. But mainly because it really offers an opportunity for something new under foe shower. You can have as much gayety and design as with wall paper, and yet be as waterproof as your kitchen floor. Which is something. If you want plain and simple color, there it is in a range of interesting tones. If you want riotous individual design, you can have it inlaid right into foe walls and to your own fancy. Whatever you decide on for your linoleum wall motif, repeat foe motif in your bath linens.

When he reached the first little pool he baited his hook very carefully and then taking the greatest care to keep out of sight of any trout that might be in the little pool he began to fish. Now Farmer Brown's boy learned a long time ago that to be a successful fisherman one must have a great deal of patience so though he didn't get a bite right away as he had expected to he wasnt the least bit discouraged. He kept very quiet and fished and fished, patiently waiting for a foolish trout to take his hook. But he didnt get so much as a nibble. "Either the trout have lost their appetite or they have grown very wise, muttered Farmer Browns boy as after a long time he moved on to the next little pool. There the same thing happened.

For several months Hall has been waging a losing battle against a swarm of yellow jackets that built their nests under the eaves alongside the chimney of his home. After dousing the nests with paint and gases to no avail, he filled the bag of a vacuum cleaner with ammonia and applied the cleaner to the opening through which the yellow jackets entered their nests.

"If I didn't know that nobody else comes fishing here I should think that somebody had been here this very morning and caught all the fish or else frightened them so that they are all in hiding, said he, as he trudged on to the next pool. "I never had such luck in all my life before. Hello! Whats this? There on the bank beside the little pool were the heads of three trout. Farmer Browns boy scowled down at them more puzzled than ever. Somebody has been fishing here and they have had better luck than I have, thought he. He looked up the Laughing Brook and down the Laughing Brook and this way and that way but no one was to be seen. Then he picked up one of the little heads and looked at it It wasnt cut off with a sharply. knife; it was bitten off! he exI wonder now if Billy claimed. Mink is the scamp who has spoiled my fun." Thereafter he kept a sharp lookout for signs of Billy Mink, but though he found two or three more trout heads he saw no other signs and he caught no' fish. This puzzled him more than ever. It didn't seem possible that such a little fellow as Billy Mink could have caught or frightened all the fish or have eaten so many. Besides, he didnt remember ever having known Billy to leave heads around that way. Billy sometimes catches more fish than he can eat but then he usually hides them. The farther he went down the Laughing Brook the more puzzled Farmer Browns boy grew. It made him feel very queer. He would have felt still more queer if he had known that all the time two other fishermen who had been before him were watching him and puffed sleeves change the midsummer Schiaparellis chuckling to themselves.
