store, and is 1t very expensive? Please
let me know. l would also like la

You may purchase pumice stone at

Throw a handful of powdered oat-

Dear Miss Naleau: What treatment
can you advise for boilS on the neck?
MRS. NJ. H, Ogden.
Take a good blood purifier first. Re
gard every boil as contagious. If this
IS done and a person acts on the knowi-
eoge. no harm can be thereby caused,
whereas the opposite way of dealing
with it may help to make more boils
and more sorrow. Whatever touches
the inf1amed part is 'unclean." The
liberal use Of boiling water will OBJ

A brief pause and this time it was a Gar
den Scene Tall bushes and fiower-pots were
arranged on both sides of the stage, the floor
was covered with something green and rough
TO resemble grass, and on a moving sea-saw sat
SIX children, dressed in pink and blue, and
with wreaths of flowers on their heads.
Accompanied by the piano, they sang the
words OF the old song:
"See-saw, see-sawi now we're up or down;
See-saw, see-sawi now we're off TO London
town."
And Greta, little as she knew of music, saw
how the children kept time with the mo
tiOn of the board, and could have looked on
and listened forever TO the clear, childish
voices.
But the curtain fell at last. and during the
intermission the squire's servants served de-
hcious lemonade and cake, and then Greta
looked around her, and saw other poor little
girls, like herself and Ray, and was even more
happy and contented than ever, if that were
possible, and fell to wishing somebody had
tableaux every night, and invited her, and
But here her joyous thoughts were inter
rupted again by the bell, and up rolled the
curtain.
A white canvas tent, with a tree on each
side and before the tent door sat six little
gypsies, and dressed in all the colors of the
rainbow, with sparkling jewels on their bare
arms and nec1s.
To one side, half kneeling, was Ethel, form
ing a striking contrast, with her fair skin and
white dress.
One hand was outstretched, and the tallest
gvpsy was tracing the lines in the palm with
her jeweled forefinger.
This. the program said, was called Gypsy
Fortune Telling" and was singularly fascinat-
ing to the children, halfawing, but wholly
pleasing them
''YVere YOU ever at any tableaux before?" in
quired the squire, who still kept his station
behind them.
ssNo. sir: there never were any to 90 to,
Won know. None could be as pretty as these,
anyhow"
And though Gretas remark was made very
;nnoceutly, it quietly reproached the squire for
his sel6shness. and he resolved mentally that
his house should be opened to the poor of the
village always once year, for just such an
entertainment as this.
Later, when he made this known to Ethel.
the little girl never knew that to Greta Glenn
emf one OF the poorest children in the neigh
borbood. she owed her thanks and DELIGHT.
and Greta did not know it, either, as the
sorIire kept his word, and her seat was never
vacant. with crippled Ray always beside her.
The next tableauX followed quickly This
was called "The Babes in the Woods"
The tent was gone, and in its place was
another tree. Lying at the trunk were two
children-a little boy and girl-half-eovered
with leaves while on the tree were six birds
looking so real she could scarcely believe her
ears when the squire whispered to her they
we're only stuffed.
the head Of the little boy was another bird,
lust having deposited its leaf over the ehild's
face.

who had read the story any number OF tunes,
felt the tears rise to her eyes, but she laugh
ed heartily with the rest, when, something
preventing the curtain from falling Just when
it should, the "babes" opened their eyes and
sat up, sinking down again in much confusion
when they saw what was the matter.
Quite fifteen minutes elapsed before the
curtain rose again. Greta heard great noises
going on, the rumble and creaklng OF heavy
furniture, and occasionally flash OF strong
light.
After while the lady at the piano began to
play a march, then the violin, and at last
the sound of drums behind the scenes Iinkle-
tinkle! went the bell, up few the curtain, and
involuntarily Greta closed her eyes for
second.
Standing in a row, facing the audience, were
twelve silver soldiers all in silver from Their
caps to their tiny shoes-while over them all
(Greta could not tell from where) fell flood
of soft, green light, making them sparkle like
a shower of diamonds from head to loot.
They each played upon a silver drum, keep
ing time with their feet, and Greta wondered
and held her breath with very delight and
happiness.
To the right of the stage a staircase led up
to small balcony, and similar staircase led
down again This all resembled gold, and
formed a pretty background to the silver sol
Suddenly they all turned to the left, stiIl
keeping time with their drums and feet, and
then marched up the steps, following their
leader, who halted at the bottom step on the
other side.
In turn they each one halted too, until the
five steps and small platform were all occu.

soldiers slipped off their silver knapsacks
opened them, and simultaneously the piano
struck up another tune. and they marched
awav. singing in fresh, clear voices, and scat
tering the contents of their knapsacks among
the audience:
"a gift a gift. TO one and all.
PRAY catch them we let them fail.
We silver soldiers love TO give,
And hope our bon-bons you'll receive
With thanks and much delight.
Goodnight goodnight
The march is o'er, put out the light.
Goodnight goodnight"
Greta did not remove her fascinated eyes
until the curtain had hid every glimpse of
@fairyland," and then, gathering up her bon
bons.she had caught three-she helped up
little Ray, and, with lingering look back said
good-bye shyly to the squire, who shook them
both very kindly by the hand
Keeping tight hold of Ray, she hurried her
home as quickly as possible, so that they

that wonderful night at the squire's house
And Greta never forgot that night. Among
all others that followed, it stood out alone.

II certainly was like her first glimpse OF fairy
land.
Little Ethel too, seemed to her like some
thing more than a mere human being ike
herself, and the 'caps' from the bon bons were
as precious to her as so many dollars, only
nothing could have induced her to part with

pale cheeks flushed and whose sad eyes light

OF course, Ray must go; that was decided
upon at once. Aud during the hours that IN

how they would look.
Exactly quarter before seven, the child

would have been almost tempted TO 60 away
again.
The curtain was hung in the centre of the
parlor, which was very long and wide, and the
chairs were arranged before this, IN rows, al
ready half occupied.
After the children were seated, and the
strange feeling had partially worn off, they
found themselves only a few rows from the
front, with as good seats for seeing as any
one could desire.
in few moments, some one began TO play

Suddenly an electric bell startled her. Up
rolled the curtain, and Greta's eyes rested on
