q UGH a jolly, round face as IL mao
the Grandfather's Clock. 1t
wasn't at all like a common clock,
for it had some queer characters on
IL besides the picture of a moon.
"Grandfather's Clock always seems
to be smiling" said Roy; lat least,
most always for once or twice I'm
sure it frowned."
Yes, the old clock had really frowned,
and for the whole of the last week
after Roy's remark it never smiled
once. Roy had been getting up too
late, and that was the reason.
Well. on Friday morning, Roy lay In
his little bed listening to the rhythmic
ticking; but, instead Of the usual tick
took. Get up! Get up! Get up!" said
the clock, over and over again.
IT won't! I won't! l won'ti" an
swered Roy, mockingly, and, oh! what
a dark frown came over the once jolly
face of the old timekeeper. Then 1t
deepened into a scowl, and then came
such a snort! "a queer way of strik-
ing half-past s." thought Roy. And
what was happening to the hands!
They were rapidly frightening out
they surely were: and before Roy had
time to protest he was grabbed by
those W long iron hands, which
snatched him out Of bed and ounce
him on the floor quicker than a wink.
He was only in the nick of time FOR
school. "And I'll never lie abed' iate
again. said Roy to himself, "for Ia

For Moist Hands.

So many girls complain of ~perspira-
tion-soaked hands in summer. Such a
condition Is exceedingly annoying. 1t
mortifes them whenever they are out
among people.
They dislike to shake hands with any
one, and they are always conscious that
their gloves are spotted with moisture
and are very untidy looking. The only
way to remove them Is after the
ner of peeling the skin off a tomato.
But what Is there to dor That Is the
question.
The following mixture Is said to work
wonders, without being harmful. for
bear in mind that 1t Is not always
healthy to stop perspiration.
There are remedies that are effective
in that they stop the one thing for no
start in action.
This mixture only calls for two
unces Of alcohol and a quarter of an
ounce of tincture of belladonna. Only
the palms of the hands should be wet
with it, and 1t should be put on three
or our times a day.
Another precaution a m should
AXE who suffers in this way is to shake
a little talcum powder In each glove
before putting 1t on. If she has not a
regular powder shaker she can use a
salt cellar.
In truth, no woman should put on
gloves in warm weather without first
%powdering the hands or the inside OF
the gloves. It is a clean habit n a
refreshing one.
There are some women who put on
the toilet table a large glass bowl filled
with powder, in which is an extra large
powder puff. Before gloves are put on
or, in fact, half a dozen times a day,
whenever the hands are washed the
puff is dipped in the soft perfumed
powder and busted over the hands.
Other women la a large atomizer
full of cologne-not extract-and spray
the hands with this several times a
day.

The practical little bathing suit
shown in our illustration is built as
nearly as possible on the lines of an
athletes running suit, n at the pres
ent epoch of athletic supremacy is
more in demand than a fantastic de-
sign. Beneath the tunic are worn short
straight Knockers, which are Joined on
to the bodice, thu forming the same
effect as a combination. The sleeves
and bodice are cut in one, so that the
whole suit has as few seams as posi-
BILE, and consequently can be made in
the shortest time. A white material
trimmed with bands of pale blue is one
of the prettiest schemes, but, of course,
any color can be used.
The Charlotte hat is second cousin
to the Fluffy Ruffle hat, already forgot
ten by those Who wore the dainty affair
last summer. The picturesque Char
lotte is a style that will be worn late in
the forthcoming season, and Is one easy
of construction, even by the amateur.
1t Is all lace, flowers and ribbons, and
even If a trife excessive for warm
weather, is picturesque and companion
able to the fluffy parasol trimmed on
the inside and also the outside.
The band of black velvet, which is
again so popular, is sometimes adorned
by cunningly devised embroidery,
which adds color to the somber black.
Often the band is decorated with a
trailing vine with tiny blue or pink
flowers; then, again, it is adorned. with
a design worked out In beads of glass
and china. When milady is In MOURN

She's Afraid of RidicuIe.


Dear Miss Door
1 am Is ear old and in love with a
young man about the same age. An
other girl Is also in love with him. AT
first this young man appeared to love
me, but as he and l had a little spat
about the other girl we have not been
on good terms for about a month.
Now he and the other girl do not speak,
although she is very anxious to do so.
He said that he would not have any
thing to do with her.
Now he wishes to speak to me. He
wrote a letter to me asking If l would
be friends with him again. l love him
dearly, but I am afraid that the other
girl will nave a chance to ridicule me.
If you were in my place kindly tell
me what you would do about it. Yours,
IN LOVE.
Since he wishes to be good friends and
has met you half way, l would advise
you to be friends with him. He GER
tainly seems to AVE a preference for
you, and as you really care for him
what more can you desire. He has evil
IDENTIFY seen his folly in quarreling with
you, and l would think, really likes
you. Why not answer his letter? You
should have no fear of the other girls
ridicule. 1 think you are on the win
ming side.
