OUR CHILDREN'S CORNER
THE BOOKWORM.

Among Dame Natures many tribes
That natural history describes,
There is a funny class she terms
The ~bibliophilae or bookworms.
These creatures haunt the dusty
shelves,
And there disport like merry elves.
In pages of these ancient tones
They make their Fairgrounds and their
homes.
Upon a history's page they feed,
In works of love to breed;
No book, however old or fiat,
Will they refuse to habitat.
But there are other bookworms, too,
Who most peculiar lives pursue;
Digesting leaves and rare old calf,
AS if from them life they might quaff.
They are a most unsocial clan,
Withdrawing from the haunts of man
To delve in cobweb-laden stalls
Where golden sunlight rarely falls
They spend their time in selfish quest,
And lose that pleasure which is best
OF spreading joy in others lives,
longer than all else survives.

phia Telegraph.

Hg1ifb the Needle and Thread.

material used is a moderately heavy
arras cloth, known mostly as crafts
mans canvas The same material,
though of a very different shade, is
cut into graceful designs which will
be appliqued to the material. Cut the
design, press with an iron and evenly
haste to the second cloth. One method
used as an outline stitch made with
flax. 1t is a color that looks neat with
any of the tobacco or green cloths.
There is, however, something more
fetching in the applique work, showing
the designs applied to the material and
outlined with long spikes of silk, held
at the extreme point with a thin silk
thread, very much on the order of the
lazy daisy stitch. This pattern, of
course, must be on a cushion, for the
loose stitches at the back would make
the pattern unattractive for portieres.
Something pretty in a clipping book
is made four inches wide and sixteen
inches long. The outside cover is two
substantial pieces of white vellum
cardboard with a satin finish. The de-
sign painted on the cover is a bunch of
pink cherries and green leaves. The
leaves inside are of dark green, the
shade of the cherry leaves. The book
let is tied at one end with pink and
green ribbons.

Though possessing a British ladyship Tor a
grandmother and being otherwise we'll con-
nected. the hero of the narrative, Frank Softly,
who tells the story of his life, Is early cast
upon his own resources. His rowing and ad-
venturous disposition prevents his following IN
the footsteps of his father as a respectable, but
not we'll paid. medical practitioner, and he tries
his hand at drawing caricatures Of society peo-
pie for a living. When it Is discovered that
he has held up to public ridicule the venerable
features OF Lady Malkinshaw, his grandmother.
his family turns him out of doors. Being cast
into prison for debt, Frank secures his release
by working upon the fact that a legacy which
is to devolve upon his sister is dependent upon
his own life and good health. Upon quitting
the Jail. he comes suddenly upon a vision Of
feminine beauty and modest grace, whose
identity he tries, without success, to discover.
His next venture into the realm of reguery
is in the taking of the pictures of old
masters for an unscrupulous dealer, at whose
shop he once more meets the lady whose
charms have captured his fancy. Frank copies
a Rembrandt. which is sold as an original,
but narrowly escapes prison once more when 1t
DIS found by the buyer to be a counterfeit. He
then takes the prosaic position of secretary of
a scientific and literary association, which
leads, however. to the most thrilling adven-
lures in his career.

Health and Beauty
For Ebery Woman
Perfect Cleanliness Necessary to a Good
Compkxion-Fe1u Women Kno4u How
to Wash Their Faces. Declares
Madame AHa--A Good Shampoo.
BY MADAME ALTA.

How to keep the face free from
blackheads and heshworms is
thing that is concerning not a few
women in our city, and I might add
not a few women the world over.
The whole trouble lies in the astound-
ing fact that but a few women really
know how to wash their faces, and it
is the exceptional woman who knows
that the most of the ordinary skin all
ments are due directly to uncleanli-
ness and a lack of knowledge as to the
proper care of the complexion.
When women learn to keep the pores
of the skin covering their faces free
from lust and the matter which is
naturally thrown off through the pores
they VIII begin to be remarked for
their beautiful compilations, but not
until then, The dust and matter which
is thrown off IS allowed to mingle with
the oils of perspiration, and the natural
result is that the skin is clogged with
blackheads and little yellow pimples
commonly known as f1eshworms.
Women must learn that to have a
good, clear complexion vastly more is
necessary than dabbing the face with a
Shiny rag that has done service as a
washcloth for several weeks. First of
all, the wash cloth or rubber sponge
should be as free from soap and slime
as our fresh, clean pocket-handker-
chief. Plenty of hot water and pure
CASTLE soap will be necessary for a
thorough cleansing of the face, neck
and arms, and better than the cloth or
sponge is the fine camel's-hair facial
brush that fastidious women have found
to be a necessity. The face should be
so well scrubbed that it will be impos-
sible to have a trace of dust or dirt.
Clear warm water should be used to
rinse, allowing the cold water to run
until the rinsing bath is quite cold.
After the face is carefully dried with
soft towels a little good cold cream
should be rubbed into the pores. This
will help soften UP any matter which
may have become hardened in the pores
and will also form a foundation for the
toilet powder milady will naturally
wish to dust over her face to remove
the shine.

ARE THEY "KEEPING COMPANY"
BY MARGERY DOOM.

ARE THEY KEEPING COMPANYp"
My Dear Miss Doom:
Will you kindly advise me, through
THE EVENING STAR, regarding the
following:
If a certain young man calls steady
every Sunday night for a year and a
half, and usually takes me out once a
week besides. is this considered keep
ing company? He does not go out with
other girls, but has not asked me for
my company. Also, Is it improper to
allow him to kiss me? He feels very
badly If I object, as he says he cares u
great deal for me. PERPLEXED.
Decidedly, n would judge that YOU
are keeping company" 1t is unfair
for the young man to monopolize so
much of your time If he does not in
tend to propose to you. The next time
he wants to kiss you, just tell him that
you do not are to kiss a man to whom
you are not engaged. Perhaps that
will bring him to a realization of
things.

me or not, but when he went away he
asked me to wait for years for him.
He does not write to me very much,
but writes to my sister, so l think he
was only fooling me. There is another
young man, who has asked me for my
company. Do you think it best to go
with him? Please answer.

the sailor, and care for the other young

fellow of %. l have done my best to
break up the match, but with no avail.
] object to the young man only be-
cause he makes a small salary and
could not support my daughter as we'll

Do you think I am foolish to mold
out? l do not know what to do, as my
daughters mother is dead.
ANXIOUS FATHER.
I do not see why you should not give
your consent to their engagement.
Perhaps the young man has good pros
poets. If they love each other your
objections will be of no avail, anyway.

n Slice. Few use sliced pineapple
these days, since the food chopper has
been brought into so much use and
makes this rather coarse fbered fruit
more palatable. Use a sharp bread
knife to cut the pineapple in quarters.
Pare each section and remove the eyes
and bits of hull with a penknife. Real
ly nothing takes the place of a sharp
penknife for the purpose, not even the
latest improved pineapple knife, for it
takes out too large pieces. Next cut
h quarters into small sections and
run them through the food chopper,
and add sugar Immediately to extract
juices. Unless a pineapple is prepared
early in the day it will be almost as
insipid for dinner as a winter pear,
the most tasteless fruit there is.
Fried Rice-Cook rice in half milk,
half water until tender, sailing it well.
Mold in deep bread tin. When cold,
slice, dip in bea-en egg, and brown on
the gridiron. Serve with honey. A nice
breakfast dish.
A Morning Dish-Break into buttered
gem pans a number of eggs, placing
each egg on a spoonful of hot cooked
rice. Salt and pepper the egg and rice
and bake in a quick oven. Cover the
pan until the eggs are partly cooked,
remove the lid and brown. Clipped
ham or beef can be added.
