red flannels with skirt to match, the
chemisettc being of tucked and inserted
muslin. The effect is exceedingly
charming and attractive to the locker
on, while the waist has the inestimable
advantage of allowing of frequent
change of chemiscttes, which fact in
itself means a sense of daintiness and
personal comfort not to be obtained in
any other way. There is very little
blouse at the front, that being a not
able feature of those waists, but ample
fullness below the stitchings to provide
soft and graceful folds. The sleeves
are in regulation style and among the
most comfortable that can be worn
for dresses and waists of the simpler
sort.
The waist is made with 4 fitted lin-
Ing, which can be used or omitted as
preferred, and consists of fronts AID

A Snail's Ways.

One day we found a snail in the
woods. He was crawling on a mossy
log. His shell was glossy and of a
light brown color. The snail, too, was
pale brown. He looked soft, as if he
had been made out of jelly. He had
pair of horns thrust out from the front
of his head, to warn him of danger.
When | picked up the shell, Mr..
Snail quickly tucked himself out of
sight inside. took the shell home in
my pocket, and at night laid it out on
my table. In the morning it was
gone.
Looking about the room, l found the
snail climbing up the wall, half way to
the ceiling.
stood on a chair, touched him gent
ly on the head, and, in fright, he
drew into his shell, and it fell from
the wall into my hand.

Jack Tar's Food.

Cold storage, while is has been of the
greatest value to the dwellers Of
crowded cities in enlarging their diet
and making possible plenty of lettuce,
radishes and other green vegetables in
the coolest of winter weather. has done
even more for the sailor boy. Not SO
many years ago scurvy was the bug
bear of every man who went to sea-
whether in a merchantmen or in the
navy. Now it is practically unknown
When a ship arrives in any
port of the civilized world
with any of its men afflict-
ed with scurvy, it is considered an
event of peculiar interest, so rare has
the disease become. Even the poorest
victualed tramp steamers carry pota-
toes, cabbage and other green veget-
ables in abundance, while the Jack Tai
who enlists on one of Uncle Sans
splendid men of war is sure of salads
and fresh vegetables enough, thanks TO
the invention of the cold storage room,

To Make Peanut Dolls.

Very odd and funny and instructive
little dolls can be made from pea
nuts. You may have an Indian chief,
squaw, and little papoo5e; John China
man, Japanese lady, Dutch woman
Norman peasant woman with high
white cap, a witch in peaked hat and
red cloak, a wizard arrayed in star
trimmed cloak and high hat, HindoO
Yogi with white turbaned head, a
gypsy and many ott-7 characters in
this jolly company.
The peanuts are threaded whole upon
coarse white twine, through the length
of the nuts. Very short nuts are used
for feet and hands and the round sin
gle nuts for the heads. A thick PEI
nut forms the body or. if more bulk is
required, use two. Long slender nuts
form the arms and legs.
Now for the wigs. For the Orien-
tails, use horsehair or the hair filing
of cushion; glue the locks in place
and then fasten on the head covering.
New rope, if combed out fine, will
make a splendid flaxen wig; by color
ing it you can have an auburn or
brown tint. Fasten this wealth of
hair with jaunty bow. Outline the
features with ink. The wigs of the
wizard" and the yogi" should he
white; use cotton picked out fluffy, and
glue in place so it will fall long over
the shoulders and make flowing boards.
Material for the dresses can be of tis
sue or crepe paper in gay colors or
from the scrap bag The garb of the
Chinaman will be silk; cut the two
garments from paper patterns; the
shoulders naturally are very narrow.
Gilt paper will be very useful TO
help decorate the gypsy and yogi
dresses.
1t is only half the fun to make and
dress these curious little figures. They
can be made to act on miniature
stage like little puppets.-Philadelphia

A Guide Book to Books.

AS soon as you think you are old
enough, get for yourself some good
handbook, manual or primer of Eng
lish literature, and make use of it to
inform yourself about the books you
read. This will help to place them in
their true relations to one another. A
good encyclopedia rightly used will
serve nearly as well. Just as a guide
book serves both to tell about places
you see and also suggest new trips, so
in the manual of literature you will
have glimpses of new fields of read
ing, possibly of such a nature as will
please you better than those more fa-
miliar.-Nicholas.

put in it nice stone from the brook.
The stone had little lichens and bits
of water weeds on it. | put water in
the dish. Then | set the snail on the
stone.
Snails like cool, moist things. My
snail at once came out to see his new
home. He began to travel around 1t at
a great rate. He crept to the water on
every side. | saw that he ate the lich-
ems So | brought nice young let
tuce leaf, wet it, and laid it on the
stone. When the snail in his journey
reached it, he touched it with his
horns, Then he crept upon the edge of
the leaf, turned sidewise, and began
to eat fast.
He seemed very hungry. He moved
along the edge of the leaf, gnawing
as he went. After he had eaten about
a quarter of the way along the leaf
he turned and went back, still eating.
So he kept on until he had cut deep
scallop. Then he went to another
place and ate out another scallop. The
children said he liked scalloped let
tuce
| kept the leaf wet. AT first
thought the greedy little creature did
nothing but eat. | found that he liked
to play and was found of travel. He
would go to the edge of the water, and,
holding fast to the stone, would dip
his head in for drink, or to get it
wet.
When he did this, he drew in his
horns until they could not be seen.
Then he tried to cross the water and
to reach the side of the dish.
He would cling fast by the hind part
of his body, raise his head, and stretch
himself as far as he could, and try to
take hold of the dish. He often fell
short and tumbled into the water. But
out he would come and try again.
When he succeeded, he would walk
all around the rim of the dish
One night he came out, dropped TO
the floor, crept over the carpet, up the
leg of the table, along the top, and
then travelled all over Mans new bon
net. He tried to eat the artificial
leaves on the bonnet. There caught
him in the morning.
Wherever he went he left thin trail

attractive one that is equally available
for the purpose and for indoor wear
the season through, and which appro.
prlately can bes made from a variety
of materials. In the case of the model
chiffon taffeta Is trimmed with velvet
ribbon and combined with rather
heavy all-over lace, but all the new
soft silks and soft woods are equally
desirable, while the waist will be
found available for the separate one
as well as for the entire gown. In
fact, its uses are many, and rs posi-.
bilities almost numberless. In this
case there is frill of the material
outlining the yoke, but if still more
elaborate effect is desired, this can be
of lace or it can be made of ribbon
laid in the little fiat pleats which are
so well liked Again, the chemisette,
or plastron, could appropriately be
made of embroidered muslin as well
as lace or net, or of any pretty con.
trasting material. Elbow sleeves are
exceedingly smart just now for almost
all afternoon and evening gowns, but
cuffs can be added, making these long
if for any reason they are so pre-
ferred
The waist is made over fitted lin,
ing, which is closed at the front, and
itself consists of the plastron, the full
blouse portion and the cape, the closing
of the waist being made invisibly at
the left side. The sleeves also ara
mounted over foundations, which serve
to keep the puffs in position.

How Pussy Was Named.

What is your pussy's name, dear?"
asked Aunt Suzette of little Toto, al
most crushing a tiny Maltese kitten
with hugs.
"Toffee Mill" said Toto, because
it purrs just like toffee mill
Was not that funny name for
cat? Almost as strange as Toto was
for little girl. But then neither was
a real name.
Toto was called Marie Louise by
her teachers; Mary Louisa by her
Grandma, VINO thought French sounds
for plain English names were silly,
and Sweetheart by her mamma.
But papa, who was Southerner,
always called his little daughter Toto,
because when she was so tiny she
could barely walk she would drag
| big bundles around all day long
bundles so big she could hardly hold
them.
We'll, what is Marie toting today?"
papa would say when he would see,
her bending under heavy load. Then
he took to calling her his little to-
ter; but Marie, who could not talk
very plainly called herself "papa's
little Toto and soon everyone else
called her that, too.
AS for "Toffee Mill" the pussy, her
real name was Dainty-such cute
fluffy gray ball Of a kitty was she,
who hated to be dirty Toto only
called her Coffee Mill sometimes when
she wanted to surprise people
Why Toto, what a strange name
for your pussy. How did you happen
10 call her that?" said aunty
IN tell you, aunty; only Use pity
tired jest now
Tired, are you, monkey? Only
tired enough to jump right up in my
lap and have real nice talk, fancy"
Toto loved aunty's lap for generally
she could find some candy in her pocll-
ct or else some lovely charms on her
chain.
Soon she was nestled all comfy"
telling how pussy got her name.

pussies at all, and when Dainty runs

Cats Can Swim.

The giraffe is said to be the only
animal unable to swim. Many animals
do not like the water and will not
take to it unless Obliged to. Cats be-
long to this type. A great many peo-
pie believe a cat will drown rather
than swim, but this is not so. Cats
dislike the water, but know how TO
