Cape Cod, whole families Journey
ing to the bog with provisions and
cooking utensils for an extended pic
mic. The work is easily learned,
and a child of five can easily pick
four measures a day, which means
the earning of 40 cents. An adult

The girls of ancient Egypt were

er allowed themselves to grow stout.
Even the middle aged women were
as beautiful of figure as girls in
their teens. In the belief that obesi-
ty produced old age and that slen-
der woman need never look nor
grow old, that fat produced rheu-
matism, heaviness, stiffness and diff
ficulty in moving about, undue
sleepiness and a difficulty in breath
ing, they instructed their daughters
that no greater misfortune could
fall upon them than that of over
weight.

Hnr Guardian q. I

A good dog enjoys reputation
as a guardian of the house, but a
certain old woman puts her faith in
cats. Her house was entered some
time ago, and her belief In her pet
was justified. The midnight hour
had not long struck when she heard
unusual sounds In the hall below.
She slipped ont of bed, took her
faithful feline, which always spent
the night In her room, in her arms
and walked quietly on the landing.
She leaned over. A burglar was on
the stairs. Suddenly in an unlucky
moment he struck a match. The
lady then dropped puss upon the
burglars head. The cat uttered an
unearthly screeeh and began to use
its claws for all it was worth. The
next instant the man was outside in
the street.

New Orleans to visit the towns along

Business had been anything but
good, and the meager receipts at
the box Office had resulted in a
heavy reduction of salaries before
the company had been out for many
weeks. One night after the per

was also the leading man, took ex-

of the players had interpreted GER

who had been rebuked, Gin view of

How to Have Wayy Fair.

By brushing your hair carefully
at night and arranging it in two
braids you will have a wavy crown
next day, and your hair will look
twice as heavy as if left to its natu-
raj inclination.
If you would have the wave par
tioularly noticeable braid the hair
loosely and draw two strands up
close to the head, by holding OF e
strand out taut and straight. The
third strand can be rolled into a
little bunch and pinned up close to
the head with the other two
strands.
The next morning undo your
braids and you will brush out q
fluffy mass of wavy tresses. Take
the curling iron and wave the hair
about the face, catching in all the
stray ends that are known to the
cult as widow looks
