At Bedtime Junction,
lngo cars for Dream1andi"

Change cars for Dreamland!"
BOY reused up little. He moved
his hand and it touched the arm of
the low rocker. He felt for his pic
ture-book. It was gone. He thought
1t mad dropped on the floor; still he did
not open his eyes.
Passengers for Dreamland change
cars!"
Boy knew the voice; he wanted to
answer; he tried to lift his head, but
1t was so heavy he could not move it.
His lips parted, and after while he
said, "Wh-a-t?'
This is the place where we change
cars" said the voice. 1T is Bedtime
junction. We reach here at seven fif-
ty-nlne. The gentleman called Mr..
Charles Albert has taken the Dream
land car. I came back after you and
we must go at once.'
Boy felt himself lifted by strong
arms. The next he knew he was laid
in a soft bed, and a soft hand was
drawing a white sheet over him, while
a soft voice said: "This is the Dream
land car. You do not change again
till morning. I will let you know. l
look after all the passengers. I am the
conductor"
Boys eyes opened wide. "You're
mammal" he said.
Mamma kissed Boys plump, pink
cheeks. His eyes closed again and the
Dreamland car moved on, carrying

mad awnings put over the windows,
because she thought the heat and light
little too strong, placed couple Of
extra shelves in the closet, fixed a nice
place Tor her bicycle in the summer
Kitchen, voluntarily offered her an
extra night out each week, personally
assisted her to get a run Of things in
the kitchen and then praised her for
everything I could approve, without
pretending to notice her mistakes or
TO miss the dishes she broke. My idea
was to win her by kindness and con-
t1nued assurance of appreciation. I am
sure that every nature is susceptible
to such treatment" ''Well, I'm not,
Dy good deal. But how did it come
out?" AT the end of the first month,
convinced by my constant approval
that she was about the best girl in
the city, she demanded 81 more per
week and the right to put her wheel,

mems kept theirs, or she would leave,
OF course she left. Don't they just

A Retort of willis. !;

Mr.. NJ. E. w. Sherwood tells this
sanecdote in the new volume of ren,in-
iscences, Here and There and Every
where: I was present at many din
ners when Willis was the life Of the
company, and although did not hear
the famous repartee Of the Washing ton
dinner so often recorded, I will record
it here. It was Mrs. Gales, I think.
who. at one Of her own dinners, wrote
a card to her niece at the other end of
the table, Don't firt so with Nat wis

Gowns for the Baby.

Baby's long dresses seem to show 2
lack of consideration for the comfort
of the child, they are so overturned
One new design not only has a heavily
embroidered yoke, full sleeves edged
with two ruf1es Of embroidery, and a
deep f7ounce, with much insertion at
the bottom, but it has also ribbon
tied about what might be baby's waist,
and fastened in large bow, with long
ends. in front. 49,.
Another gown is adorned from the
knee down with insertion run up and
down instead of around, the insertion
caught together with ribbon. 1t makes
a peculiarly dainty trimming, easily
copied by the mother at home.
Much more sensible than these
heavily trimmed gowns is a plain
gown shaped to. the waist by fine tuclzs.

Good Advice.

Kate is sorely tempted to kiss a
war hero in public and asks for ad-
vice. Answer: Surely you are not
in your right mind. No girl with COM
mon sense would think of doing such
thing. The young "lady" who kissed
Hobson or tried to kiss him rather
ought to be ashamed of herself. But
such rarely have any sense of shame.
They show bad example and bring
scandal to womankind in general.-Ex.

thought. For were not Johnny Hin

now Johnny had gone to distant part

never expected to see him again.

! Lyndon's mamma worked for
dressmaker downtown, and she was
often obliged to be away evenings,
These were lonesome hours for Lyn-
don. Sometimes he went to bed early,
but usually he would sit at the win
dow, weaving odd fancies about the
passing strangers on the street, or of
the twinkling stars overhead

Lyndon's eyes as he looked out at the
next house were bare, curtainless win
dows and a big p1acard ITO Rent"
Then he spied tall man and rosy
checked little woman walking about
the vacant rooms, and the next morn

rightly guessed that the house was
rented. After awhile he saw women,
with n1ops and pals and brooms, put
ting the rooms in order for the new
tenants, and later some furniture ar
rived, and Lyndon recognized the tall
man as he gave directions about the
disposition of the goods. He wondered
if there were any children and when
the children began to come he Won
dered if there were any end to them.
After considerable counting he made
out that there were big boy, little
boy, and boy about his own age; a
big girl, little girl, middling-siz

troop as they were! @.:-<r:-
Lyndon had sore throat the day
