try. 1t has caused 40 end or som.nont
in the locality where she liyes, be-
cause of the hair on the dolls head.
If any of our girl readers were to
make a demand on their fahers for
several locks of hair. to give realism
to the headgear of a doll they would
probably re denied the boon. as some
fathers have no hair to spare, while
others, haunted by signs of approach
ing badness. are net anxious to make
a sacrifice for a member of the nur-
Sery. .t
The hair Of Naomi's doll actually
came from the head of her father.
1t happened in this way: Twenty
years ago Mr.. Oles was the proud pos.
SCISSOR of silken locks with a natural
tendency to curl. rs he grew older
his mother thought it was not becom-
ing that a boy of his age should wear
such pendants, and it was with much
persuasion that she finally induced
him to have his hair cut. When the
barber had shorn him OF his locks
the mother secured them and placed
them away for safekeeping.
Recently she had dolls wig made
of the hair, and having had 1t placed
upon a pretty doll. the grandmother
presented it to Naomi. The little girl
is extremely proud of her gift, and
seems to thoroughly realize the value
of this doll with natural hair SO pecu-
liarly secured. Naomi's present is the
envy of all the little girl friends in
the vicinity of her home-Yo Young

Tahitha,s Generosity.

There Is close bond OF sympathy
and affection between Alice Searles,
a flve-year-old st. Louis girl. and her
cat, Tabitha. They were both, born on
the same day. One of the first things
Alice can remember about her baby
hood is Tabitha. Ever since the lit
tie girl could toddle around, the cat
has been her playmate. as she has no
brothers and sisters. Alice and Tab
itha have slept together, and what is
more unusual, they have eaten to-
gether.
When Alice had her first high-chair
and sat at the table with grown folks,
Tabitha teased to be given place
at the table also. Alice insisted on
Tabitha's right to a place, and so the
cat was placed in high-chair by the
side of her mistress. A napkin was
placed under Tabitha's chin. and a
plate of fish was set before her. Tab
itha behaved splendidly. In dainty
way she helped herself to the fish,
and quite won the favor of the family,
much to the delight of Alice.
From that time Tabitha was given
seat repeatedly at the table, and
she was as prompt at her meals as
her little mistress. She learned to
know the sound of the dinner bell as
we'll as any one in the house. Tabitha
especially enjoyed dinner on Fridays,
for the family was accustomed to
have fish on that DAY, and If there
, was any dish that the cat loved it was
fish.
One day this led to a remarkable
happening. The, dinner bell had rung
and all the family were in their seats
except Tahitt:a. whose place was va
cant. The dinner proceeded, and the
dessert had been reached, when the
cat came bouncing into The, room with
two mice in her mouth. Before >aIg
one could stop her she jumped into
her chair. and put one mouse On her

tn Wash Maah.sue1a Cloves.

Wash-suede gloves are a comfort
especially in hot weather. They look
almost as well, and are much less ex'
pensive to wear than light-colored
gloves of non.Yashfable kid.
The following simple directions for
washing them may be useful to the
woman thus inclined to economize:
Wash in clear, lukewarm water, ap-
plying CASTLE soap to the gloves and
rubbing them through the hands. Con-
tinue this process until the gloves
are clean and soft; then rinse them
thoroughly in clear, cold water and
wiring them between clean white
cloths.
After blowing the fingers open hang
the gloves up where they will dry
slowly, and when partially dry put
them on-tho hands and work them
until they are dry and soft.
By following these directions close
ly you will find yotr gloves as clean
and soft as when new

The blind man says that the dog
