port from nature or divine
law, however much is said to
the contrary. Truth casts out
all evils and materialistic methods
with the actual spiritual law,-the

The only possiblesource ofevil is
belief that evil is real and has
power. This belief is being rapidly
dispelled by Christian Science, and
mankind is awakening to the uni

God. Jesus said, "None is good,

YVETTE.
"A True Story
BY BELLE MOSES


There was weeping and wailng when
Dorothy's mamma decided that Yvette
could not go to the seashore. Yvette was
Dorothy's best plaything, dear little
French poodle. as black as Dorothy's own
eyes. Her curly hair was cut in funny
tufts all over her body. with a browning
knob on the end of her thin tail: these
queer ornaments made her look like the
unicorn one sees on the flags and banners
So iFette was taken up to Aunt Mar
garets house by Dorothy herself The
parting was painful. but Dorothy whispered
consolingly in her pets ear as she left
last kiss atop of the little black nose
Never mind. you lovely thing. I'll send
for you as | come home
Yvette being sensible dog, looked at
the bright side of life, and wagged her tail
peacefully through the summer, accepting
Aunt Margaret's attentions with a royal
grace, learning a lot of new tricks.
At length there came a letter from Dor
othy; Aunt Margaret read it aloud to
grandma as they sat by a coy. log fire-the
first OF the season. Yvette was curled up
on the rug in front of them. close to the
fender, for the weather growing chilly,
| and she longed for her winter furs.
Dear Auntie,' Dorothy wrote
TT is getting too cold to stay away any
longer. Tell Yvette to go home; 1 must
have her the first thing tomorrow. I'm
just crazy to see my darling treasure.
Lovingly. DOROTHY"
tweaked the long silky ear nearest to her
Yvette got up. turned around three times,
and lay down again: this was sign of deep
thought.
The next morning there was no Yvette;
she could not be found in the house or in
the neighborhood: she had never strayed
beforehand Aunt Margaret was nearly dis
tracted. In great distress. she hurried to
Dorothy's house. and the first thing she
saw when the door opened was Yvette her
self, who came pattering joyfully down
the stairs with Dorothy just behind.
''Oh. you dear thing, to send Yvette 80
early she cried. we found her On the
steps as We drove up to the door"
But I never sent her-1 thought she was
lost; I can't understand 1t. Dorothy
Dorothy looked puzzled at first, then a
sudden idea flashed upon her: She heard
YOU read my letter. auntie, and she trotted
home by her dear little self. Yvette,
Yvette! Tell me the truth miss, this in
stant"'
But Yvette only blinked; she had moth
ing to say. II she had secrets she knew
how to keep them.

HOW TO GROW A NAME.

It is high time to get to work in your
gardens, youngsters If you have not already
commenced. You can have flowers In box
in the window, or in the yard, or in coun-
try garden-but, wherever you are. try to
have some kind OF a garden so you can
watch 1t and tend it yourself. Get some
one to advise you at first-mother or aunt
or father or uncle. Here are some sugges-
lions for seeds for you to get.
II you like a vine, morning glory is very
satisfactory, and it will climb up strings
on a window or fence or house. Some hardy
flowers (meaning flowers that can stand
cold are phlox, candy-tuft, nasturtiums,
portulaca snap dragon, mignonette mari
gold, cornfiower, peoples and verbena.
=. If you prefer vegetables, try beans, let
tuce, radishes parsley and mint.
Don't worry If the beans poke right out
of the ground after planting, for that Is
way they have. Let them alone and they
will manage themselves. If you do not
live too far north. see If you can get pea
nuts from your florist. If you plant mus
tard or cress seed mot water cress) try In
this way: Scratch your name or initials on
the ground and plant the seeds In the
scratches, and the little green plants will
spring up and grow into your name IN your
garden.
Are you going to have little garden some
where this year?
