uaDy. So slipped them inside the top
drawer of the kitchen dresser, ma'am,
an there you'll find them!"
And there they were sure enough
when Helenas mother went to look for
them, and when she took them out OF
the drawer she couldn't help thinking
of the poor little girl to whom Helena
had tried to give them, and-well, |
dare say you can guess what happened,
can you not?
She made the washerwoman take
them home to her little girl after all,
and the next day she went down town
and bought another set for Helena, and
Helena who is doing without the new
doll buggy that had been promised her
10 pay for them, likes the last set much
better than she did the first. Don't
you think you'd be likely to feel that
way if you were in Helenas place?-

Quito r. Distinction.

In making the announcements to his
congregation recently, an Episcopal
minister, whose parish is not more
than a thousand miles from San Fran
cisco, said:
Remember our communion service
next Sunday. The Lord is with us in
the forenoon, and the bishop in the
evening"
Here is another lapsus linguae which
had it's origin in Sunday school out
in the mission. The superintendent
was making a feryid prayer few Sun
days ago, and asked divine blessing
upon each and every enterprise in
which the school was interested. He
closed mis- petition to the throne OF
grace in the following words:
"And now. oh Lord, bless the lambs
of this fold, and make them meet for
the kingdom of Heaven. Amen

The yentilated Clothes Closet.

The ventilated clothes Closet Is an
essential requirement in the modern
house, and where it is noc possible to
have the most approved style good
substitute is made by removing the
door panels and inserting g'fne wire net
ting so as to let in air and light. To
complete the ventilation the clothing
should be removed frequently and the
closet left open during the sunny hours
of the day to get thoroughly aired.
