The Story OF n Kiss.

A fascinating actress, whose name
need not be mentioned, being anxious
to assist certain charity in the prov
inces, offered kiss to be put up at auc-
ton. The bidding was brisk and had
advanced in three leaps from two
guineas to thirty, when without fur
Their parley the round sum of $500 was
offered. There being no higher bid,
the kiss was knocked down by the
auctioneer to colonel in one of the
line regiments, who came forward to
meet the blushing young lady. But to
the surprise of all present, the colonel
introduced dear little fair-haired boy,
explained that it was his grandson's
fifth birthday, and that he had acquired
the kiss as a birthday gift for him.
Whereupon Miss - took the child in
her arms and discharged her debt with
interest. The charity, a local one, in
which the colonel took keen interest,
was the richer by $500 for the grand
dads generous whim. But a little bird
whispered afterward that at the
colonePs dinner party that night he
had one also ION the strict @. T."-Lon-

REPAIRING STOCKINGS.
An Economical Way of Keeping the
Childrcn's Feet Gov.
cred.

Stockings are SO much improved in
quality and reduced in price that it
no longer pays to knit them laborious-
ly by hand, as our grandmothers did.
Some Industrious women spend their
leisure in knitting stockings by ma
chinery, which is much more rapid
work than knitting them by hand. 1t
still pays to run the heels and toes
of fine stockings of silk or cotton to
make them wear longer at those vulner-
able points. The old-fashioned idea
that no stocking could be successfully
footed by sewing is now done away
with by the fneness of the modern
stocllinet of manufacture. After the
feet of children's stockings are past
darning cut them off. Cut feet out of
the whole legs of one pair and sew
them together with as few seams as
possible, and sew these feet on pair
of stocking legs, taking similar seams
If these seams are properly taken they
will not chafe or hurt the most deli
cate foot. If the upper part of the
stocking is thin run the heel and toe
part of these sewn stockings. The
success of the work of these made
over stockings depends, of course, upon
the way the seams are put in. A
stitched seam afterward opened and
"cat-stitched" fat is one of the softest
seams for this purpose.
Little babies and elderly people, or
invalids who suffer from cold feet,
should wear wooden stockings even in
summer, varying heavy stocking for
lighter one in hot weather. Strong
people, who have a vigorous, healthy
circulation of blood, do not at any sea-
son need wooden stockings, which often
induce pcrspiration of the feet when
it is not necessary. Such persons
should battle their feet very frequently
and change their stockings often. Air
ing the stockings in the open air will
be often all that is necessary; if more
washing is needed to freshen and puri-
fly them after being worn scald the
feet of the stockings and rinse them
in cold water and dry them in the open
air. No stockings should be worn long
enough to require rubbing with soap
on board. 1t destroys the color and
helps to wear out the stockings more
than the actual wear does. Never iron
hosiery; it stretches it out of shape. A
stocking does not fit to the leg so well
or look and feel as comfortable if it is
ironed.-N. Y. Tribune.
