LITTLE GIRLS.

Where have they n to-the little
girls,
With natural and natural
curls;
Who love their dollies and like their
toys
And talk Of something besides the boys?
Little old women in plenty l find.
Mature in and old of mind;
Little old flirts who talk of their
"beaus''
And vie with each other in stylish
clothes.
Little old bellies. who at nine and ten,
Are sick of pleasure and tired of men,
Weary of travel. of balls, of fun
And find no new thing under the sun.
in the beautiful long ago,
Some dear little children l used to
know;
Girls who were merry as lambs at
play,
And laughed and rollicked the livelong
day.
They thought not at all of the style
of their clothes,
They never imagined that boys were
"beauS"-
Other girls brothers and mates"
were they;
Splendid fellows to help them play.
Where have they gone to? If rot see
one of them anywhere send her to me
l would give a medal of purest gold
To one of those deal little girls of old
With an innocent heart and an oper
smile,
Who knows not the meaning Of "firt'
or style"

CLEANING

The spots that find themselves on
wallpaper more frequently in summer
at any other time can be quickly
and easily removed by making a stiff
dough Of graham -four and boiling
water. Knead the dough thoroughly
and break into small pieces.
AS each piece is used 1t should be
doubled in on itself so there is a clean
surface at each rub. When one piece
is soiled throw it away and take a fresh
one
Always rub the paper in one direction
and do not go over the same surface
twice.

places. Mix with turpentine to V
any grease spots. Place the garment

More lasting work in the way of re-
pair can also be done now than in the
spring, says Suburban Life. Get rid
of the crab grass. This is the worst
enemy of n lawn. Before the plants
go to seed, rake up the stems and cut
them off with a lawn mower. Dig out
other weeds. Into all the empty spaces
put good soil and scatter some seeds OF
Il good lawn mixture.
Do not cut the grass too late in the
season; or, if the lawn must be moved.
set the knives high SO that they will
not cut close to the ground. This will
allow the plants to become stronger and
go into the winter in better shape.
Shrubs can be planted at almost any
time this month, and it is the best tim
of the year to move beech trees; cut
the branches back.
Keep the herbaceous borders clean.
As soon as the stalks IN leaves die
cut them off and put them on the com
post pile.
