LITTLE BESSIE.
BY Lena WEINBERG. AGED III.

lance upon a time there was a lit
V tie girl hose mann was Bessie.
She was a cute little girl just S
years old. on long summer days she
liked To take a walk through the woods
and watch the little birds futtering
about. She liked to hear the birds
sing. When she mad nothing else 10 10
she would sit down and read stories
to her little baby brother. She liked to
do errands for her mother and help
her around the house.
one day she was sent on an errand
to the store to purchase some eggs.
on the way home A bad boy met her
and wicked1y broke the eggs she was
carrying. Bessie sat down and started
to cry.
Meanwhile her mother became anx-
ious about her being out so long, and
started to look for her. When she
found her crying over the broken eggs
she said with a smile:
Never mind. dearie; II IS no use
crying over split milk. You were not
to blame"
So Bessie dried her eyes and went
home with her mother.

81 was, as Watson may have told
you, in the Foreign Office, and through
the influence of my uncle. Lord Hold
hurst, [ rose rapidly to a responsible
position. When my uncle became for
eign minister in this administration he
gave me several missions of trust, and
as 1 always brought them to a sue
cessful conclusion, he came at last to
nave the utmost confidence In my abil-
ity and tact.
NEARLY ten weeks ago-to be more
accurate, on the 23d of Maybe called
Inc into his private room. and. after
co"mplimenting me OF the good work
which / had done, he informed me
that he had a new commission of trust
for me to- execute.
""This,' said he, taking a gray roll
of paper from his bureau, is the origi-
nal of hat secret treaty between Eng
land and Italy of which, 1 regret to
say, some rumors have already got
into the public press. 1t is of enormous
Importance that nothing further should
leak out. The French or the Russian
embassy would pay an immense sum to
learn the contents of these papers. They
should not leave my bureau were it
not hat it is absolutely necessary to
have them copied. You have a desk
in your Officer
Eyes, sir
""Then take the treaty and lock II
up there. l shall give directions that
you may remain behind when the others
go, so thai you may copy 1t at your
leisure without fear of being over
looked. When you have finished, re-
lock both the original and the draft
in the desk. and hand them over to me
personally tomorrow morning.

his eyes; pray go on"
Il did exactly what he indicated. and
waited until the other CLERKS had de-
parted. One of them in my room,
Charles Gorot. had some arrears of
work to make up. so I left him there
and went out to dine. When l returned
he was gone. l was anxious to hurry
my work, for 1 knew that ~Joseph-the

and L wanted if possible to catch it.
when l came to examine the treaty
1 saw at once that it was Of such inn
Iportance that my uncle had been guilty
of no exaggeration in what he had

say that it defined the position OF

UNDECIDED WHICH TO CHOOSE.

Dear Margery Doom:
l am a girl of 10 years of age and am
perplexed about a young man who has
been calling on me once a week for the
last six months. and who treated me
very nice. He told me he loved me,
and said he would like to make a nice
home for me. but somehow l cannot
low him, as I've already tried.
About a month ago L met another
young man, and l love him dearly. lie
is very affectionate toward me and
would like to call on me much oftener
than he has been doing, so would you
be kind enough to advise me, as L
would not want to offend the first
young man in any way. j. G.
My dear little girl, l am afraid you
do not know your own mind. If you
really care for the second man and
are sure the first man is not necessary
to your happiness, you should have no
reason to consider him. You say you
met the second man only a month ago.
Are you sure hat he is serious and
that he want to marry you? You
know, unless he has made known his
intention, you have no right to con-
slider him seriously. You can very
easily tell the first young man that
you canno consider mis- offer without
offending him. 1t would be very
wrong to accept him if you do not
care for him. You are a very young
girl to ave such serious love affairs,
and l would advise you not to rush into
them blindly.

of young men and women. who give
sociables once a month to friends who

man who has since shown a marked

not always dance. he is very attentive
to me, bringing me refreshments n

1t is quite proper to accept the
young mans attentions so long as they
are agreeable to you n you know he
is a perfectly proper person. Dc not
use any means to find out his inten-
tons. If he is serious-minded he will
find a way of letting you know. All
advances must come from him, nc mat

Dear Madame:

DSdT MdudInes
Can you tell me of a nice way to fix
my hair? 1 never seem to a 1t
nicely.

am II years of 6 My hair Is not
very long and is wavy in front. 1t is
very oily. Hoping to hear from you
through your valuable paper.
PEARL.
A girl of your years should not re-
quire an elaborate mode of hair-dress-
ing. The simplest style you can adopt
will be in keeping with your years,
and will be in the best taste. The ac-
companying illustration shows two
simple modes that should be becoming
to % since you say your hair is
wayy. The first essential to pretty
hair is perfect cleanliness. The scalp
must be kept scrupulously clean and
the hair we'll brushed every night. Ar
range YOU hair full about your face
and temples, drawing it loosely to the
back of the head and arranging it in
a loose knot. Another pretty style is
to braid it high on the head and ar
range it coronet fashion around the
crown of the head. Frequent shampoo
with CASTLE soap and water, to which
has been added a small pinch of borax
will correct the oily condition of your
hair, without drying out too much of
the natural oil.

Because the Valenciennes laces are
cheap, also because they combine splen-
didly with ribbons, bands and tucked
arrangements, are the reasons why they
are used in greater quantities than
many of the wider and more expensive
articles, 1t is useful for trimmings in
all but the very sleerest fabrics, where
a finer, but not prettier, variety is
needed. The German Walls, showing
the large round holes, also a rather
COARSE appearance, will be found more
often upon the laces and ~diaphanous
weaves. The lingerie, lace and silk
waists bear such ornamentation. In
some respects, while it is less beautiful
than the French, it has better wearing
qualities and its simple pattern APP
peals to many.

Will o kindly give me a cure for a
red nose? 1 do not know what causes
it, because it is not from the use of
liquor. I am healthy otherwise, but get
very discouraged because my nos is
so red. By helping me out and telling
what to do in Thursdays EVEN

READER.
A red nose might be the result of
improper diet or poor circulation, re-
suiting from tight lacing or pressure on
any part of the body. Tight shoes or
tight collars have been known to pro-
duce a red nose, and tight corsets is a
common cause of red nose. Indigestion
is another cause. 1 would advise you to
be careful of your diet. to exercise freely
and drink plenty of water between
meals. Sip a glassful of hot water, to
which has been added the juice of half
a lemon every morning before break
