How to Prevent Badness.

Badness is the distinguishing charac-
teristic OF thin hair and thin skin, and
seldom occurs among people who have
thick hair and skins.
If the hair cells are alive, by proper
treatment the hair may be benefited
greatly, but once they are dead it will
never grow again.
Dandruff, which is merely dried scales
of the skin of the head, only exists where
the scalp is unhealthy or dirty
Hair that is thin and comes out easily
should be loosened every night before re-
firing and the scalp gently maSsaged
with the tips Of the fingers. 1t cannot
stand much brushing and, if brushed at
all, must be done lightly.

The Birds Quarrel.

1t all started with such a little matter
Miss Brown Thrush and Miss Blue Bird
had both gotten out of their nests in a
very bad humOr, and nothing had gone
right all day. Everything and everybody
had been wrong except themselves: and
now they were sitting opposite each 9th
er on a bOugh Of an apple tree down in
the orchard, with their feathers rutiled
up. and looking very angry, indeed.
It's blue, and any bird could see it is
blue. If he only choose to look" said Miss
Thrush. iii a shrill tone, as she sat with
her face toward the East
And l say it's robust as red as can
be- no matter what any bird says" re-
sponded Miss Blue Bird, who sat facing
the West.
You're a very horrid bird" cried Miss
Thrush, angrly. rufiing up her golden
brown jacket. so that it nearly hid the
pretty dots on her breast.
And you are quite as horrid," an
swered Miss Blue Bird, IF you only
knew it.
And sorry to relate. each flew at the
other, and with angry cries nearly pecked
each others eyes out.
Children, children, shame on you"
hooted the wise old owl in the pear tree
and all the violets and snowdrops hiding
fearfully in the grass below lifted their
heads and nodded.
But Miss Thrush and Miss Blue Bird
were so beside themselves with anger,
they only pecked harder than ever: and
the flowers were glad that fresh breeze
blew the long grass over them again. No
one seemed anxious to stop the quar-
reing until the old owl. feeling his way
along in the bright sunshine, flew over
and separated the angry birds and all
the other birds with one consent chose
him judge to decide the quarrel.
Now, what is it all abOutF" he boot

she was short of breath. said:

glanced at Miss Thrush. angrily.
And | say again it is blue, and any
bird can see it is as | say" answered
Miss Thrush. looking quite as angry.
And then there was such twittering
of laughter among the birds. and one
little violet laughed so hard she nearly
shook her head off. while Miss Thrush

the joke. looked discounted

A Novel CardCase.

Hand-embroidered cardcases are a fad
of the season, the most popular being
those worked on canvas in strands of silk
floss harmonizing in color with ones

over the canvas. and much individual
taste is displayed in the selection of
colors. For instance. wood browns COM
hlne well with dull art green's, all shades
of gray with white. and deep cerise with
light pink. A cardcase makes a fascinat-
ing bit Of hand work to be taken up at
odd moments. ana besides being most use
full is, if cleverly done, extremely 0rna-
mental. When the canvas has been
worked in it may be left at the EN-
broiderer's to be finished off and lined.
