When your shoes squeak. go to a shoe

loud proclamations. Another thing, when
you buy pair of new shoes and they hurt
you. put water in them and let it remain
for minute, then pour it out, and if your
shoes burn or hurt you after that YOU can
say am wrong. The water takes all the

a dozen little round pieces the size of
the top of a coffee cup of sheer linen

open edge around to take the netting,
marking any little fancy pattern with

After thoroughly knowing the stitch a

two stitches around the first row. When
finished the netting will be very full,

If there is a closet, place a long,

not use a hall stand. Have a table near

useless. In the first place it is a waste
of time Clothes can be dried by heat

The Kindergarten.

The moral value of the kindergarten
has been shown by the interest given
TO its study by many prominent philan-
thrOpists. To take the babies from the
slums of our large cities and to bring
them into the warmth and light of love
are what the charity kindergarteners
aim to do, and no child-lover can visit
one Of these child gardens and not
breathe a prayer Of gratitude that their
benedictions are for the children of the
very poor as well as of the very rich.
Truly does Dr. Harris say, the kim
dergarten is most needed for the chill
dren of the suddenly rich and of the
very poor. Those who have become sud
denly rich have in most cases done so
from their strong perceptive and in
ventive abilities, their power to grasp
favorable conditions and use them, and
their children, inheriting these quail
ties, are oftumes precOciOus and very
restless and troublesome. At school
they are pronounced incorrigible and
sent home. At eighteen they develop
a love Of gambling and horse racing,
and the paternal property is soon dis
sipated.
:"Then the children of the very poor
need the kindergarten, for they are
cribbed, cabined and confined, no play
grounds and recreations, and living that
stunted, melancholy life, surrounded by
vice and crime of all kinds, they be-
come the wolves Of society."-Jenness
