whistling under the door until the
shingles few from the roof like feath-

miser ratified together In his fear.
Then II pounced upon the fowlhouse,
and cutting on the roof blew with all
its breath within. and In second the
night air was filled with flying fowls
that Mapped and squawked AS they
went sailing into the distance like
pun balls scattered by blast.

gathering dusk and sitting snow upon
his mission and In little time was

For several minutes he tapped away
and scuf,ted his feet and at last the
miser came forth-not as man
comes forth, but In the manner you
would expect to see a miser appear,
drst a nose and then foot and then
a hand and finally the rest OF him, as
II he grudsed even his presence, and
stood frowning at Ike through the
gloom. Ike's clothes were ragged and
aapping In the wind and his toes were
leaking from the end OF his shoes, but
the smile on his face was cheerful and
would have made a friend OF any one

whose conscience was as tough as the

Scraps Properly Treated Can Be Made
Useful in Many Ways.

Never throw away scrap of lace,
if it be badly soiled, for it easily can
be washed and every scrap is worth
saving even if it is only enough to
trim a collar, add to a stock or finish
the end of tie, and you know a piece
of lace seven or eight inches long
may be scanned at the two ends and
then be gathered tightly on the sell
wedge to make dainty medallion to
insert into a jabot or any other little
thing.
Save all pieces of velvet unless they
are hopelessly soiled and worn. Brush
them carefully and roll on a cylinder
of cardboard and put away for future
use. They are sure to come in handy
at some time for trimming a collar,
piping a waist, or even adding a wee
perky bow to the yoke of a waist.
The same treatment should be given
ribbons and scraps of silks and satin.
If carefully put away they will be
ready for refreshing waist or gown
without any cleaning or preparation.
Even allowing for the pieces which
may be used, it will not take long be-
fore enough pieces have been saved
to make a handsome silk patchwork
quilt such as grandmother" used to
make or to have some of those stun
ming silk portieres made which blend
so we'll with the colors of almost any
room.
