With the three pulling and Peter

that so big a tree should so into so

"Cheer up said the Green Man,

we shall see what you will make of it.
Adieu."
The Green Man walked back into
the hole, and Peter was left alone in
the quiet forest; it seemed stiller than
ever now. He looked hard at the gros-
chen in his hand. He had heard about
groschens that came from the Green
Men, though he had never known any
body who had one. They were said to
be very lucky, and if man got one he
was made for life, for as often as he
spent it he found another in his pocket,
provided that he had spent the last for
some good thing.
The more Peter thought the more he
believed that he had just such gros-
chen, and with his fingers tight around

knew very we'll what he would buy

rake care OF Yonr .reeth.

In the large cities we have a dentist
for about every 2O00 persons, and
many of these are driven with work.
No doubt every one would have his
hands fun if every person who needed
could afford their services; while prob
ably one-half the present number of
dentists would suffice for the rising
generation if all parents would re-
quire sufficient chewing exercise
throughout their childrens growing
period, themselves setting the exam
pie of giving the teeth fair play before
it is too late.
Use your teeth at every meal, give
them crusts and hard things to chew,
ii possible brush them after meals,
but surely before going TO bed; use
some antiseptie wash to prevent alb
scesses and retarT decay, and consult a
first-class dentist twice Il yea..-Amer-

Art Of Putting Clothes AWAY.

The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is nos only neat
but economical and generally smart
in appearance. When she comes in
from a walk, she never hangs up her
coat by the loop inside the collar; if
she puts it away in the closet she
uses q coat-hanger-if she leaves it
around the room5 knowing she may
need it soon. she disposes it over the
back of chair that win keep it in
shape. The skirts Of her gowns never
have a stringy look because they are
always hooked and then hung by two
loops. For tailor7made skirt she
uses. a small coat-hanger with the ends
bent down little; this keeps the
skirt in excellent shape and causes 1t

Blent Is hung by the loops, thus never

Oh the hook For the same reason her
shirt waists are always hung by the
armlloles, unless they have hanging
loops. Handsome waists have both
sleeves and body stuffed with tissue
paper, and are then laid in drawers Or
boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
Slipping a pair of trees into them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet. If trees are not available, news

It is well to roll each veil on stiff

Gloves should always be removed by
turning them wrong side out; they
should then be turned back again,
blown into shape, and each finger

hand or golf ties, should be hung to
avoid creasing.
Hats, Of course, should be kept out
Of the dust and placed so that the TRIM

disposition depends so much on the
hat and the available space that each
woman must use her own ingenuity.
However, it is safe to say that no hat

Many of the best nightgowns are

there is a liberty satin with cashmere

AS for chemises silk again is very

is effective trimmed simply with but
