OUR CORNER
H TWO ELVES.
RY A. B. LE MASSENA.

"a ETTY was a bright little girl, who
Id lived with her parents in an old
- farmhouse near a big AXE. She
was usually very obedient and gentle,
and did her best to please her parents.
One day Betty asked her mothers
permission to go for a walk. You
may CO. was the reply, provided you
will promise me that yo will not ven-
ture near the LAKE shore, for it is very
| dangerous and you might fall in and
be drowned"
Betty promised willingly and started
out on her trip. After walking through
the fields for some time she found herr
self within a stones throw of the for
hidden lake. All at once there APP
| peared in her path two elves-one a
handsome little fellow dressed all in
white. The other was an ugly crooked
chap with a black coat.
"Come with me, little girl" said the
black elf. 81 will show you the lake.
1t is very pretty at this time of the
year.
"oh, I would just love to-" cried
Betty. could I put my feet in the
water?"

when the white elf said: do you moi

"Oh, I forgot" said Betty. 81 thank
you for reminding me-" With that she
ran home as fast as she could, and did
not even turn around to see what had
become of the two elves. But they did
not go away very far. In fact they are
always appearing to every boy and
girl at unexpected moments. They are
sometimes called Evil Counsel and
Good Advice. When they appear it is
always we'll to follow Betty's example
and disregard the temptin5ss of the
black elf.

HE U HER FEELINGS.

My Dear Miss Doom:
1 have been going with a young man
for the past nine months and l like
him very much. Lately he has hurt
my feelings very much by saying some
things to one ofNhis friends about me.
When 1 asked him If he said those
things he did not deny saying them,
but told me he only said them for a
joke. Dear Miss Doom, will you kindly
tell me: If he cared for me would he
say such things to hurt my feelings
even though he said them in fun?
TROUBLED ONE.
You friend has a rather peculiar
of humor, l think, if he deems it
funny to speak lightly of any girl. Do
not place much stock in his affection.
[ do not think he is worth it. You will
be wise to forget all about him. Tell
him hat his Joking is a very serious
matter to you.

Every day brings to me letters from
women who complain about their feet.
II can take no comfort" is the burden
OF their cry. This condition could be
avoided by just a little care. The feet
need attention just as much as do the
hands, and IL it is not given they will
suffer accordingly.
Massage is a wonderful method for
soothing the aches of feet that have
been improperly shod, the cause of so
many feet troubles. This treatment
can easily be given the feet by the sub
Ject herself, who by no means must
necessarily be an expert m~asseuse.
The process should begin with a quiet
ing lotion to the feet, one at a time.
Arnica diluted with water is excellent
for this purpose, and after it has dried
the foot should be rubbed gently, using
oil OF sweet almonds or a soft toilet
cream. The blood should be drawn
from the ankle or instep to the toes.
Support the instep with one hand while
the other is used for rubbing. A rotary
movement should be used, working

The NEW SUMMER WRAPS.

A few of the coats shown for eve
ming wear during spring and summer
months are built quite on the lines OF
a chasuble-that is to say, made OBJ
long. so that when a circle has been
made in the centre for the neck the
sides are tucked over the arms, and
both back and front extend almost to
the end of the skirt. They are usually
heavily embroidered all round the edge
and up the front and lined with some
light silk or satin, while the. cuffs and
collar are finished with long fluffy tas-
sells in silk or gold.

A READER.
A woman needs seven hours sleep
for the building up of her system. Then
she needs two more hours for the re-
euperation of her body, and the extra
two hours will restore her complexion,
make her eyes bright, take the wrinkles
out of her face, and keep her form
elastic. The woman who wants to de-
rive the fullest benefit from her beauty
s,eep will compose her mind before
sinking off into slumber. A little light
in a bedroom is a good thing for some
people, for it will act cheerfully upon
the nerves and drive away nightmare.

A girl thinks it sin to do lots of
things which she gets the boys to do.
You would be surprised at the
things said about you behind your
back.
What in the world is more trivial
than the reason people have for dis
liking you!
Your friends are often afraid to do
you a favor fearing it will displease
your enemy.
Actions speak louder than words,
They have to, in order to be heard
above the boastins.

month ago that her husband was the
sweetest man in the world, is already
beginning to say that he is the sweet

You can generally tell mans bust
ness by what he rests his eyes upon.
If he looks at your shoes, he is in the
shoe business; if he gazes at your
clothes, he has something to do with
the clothing business; when he eyes

ter always glances at your tile. The

and was present at Mt. Vesuvius at
the time of it's last eruption, two
years ago. At that time he earned
the title of 1.-THE crazy American be-
cause of the lack of fear he showed
in going as near to the crater of the
volcano as possible, even before the
eruptions had ceased.
Prof. Hobbs was graduated from the
Worcester Polytechnic institute with
the class of 1888, and Immediately
after graduation entered the Johns
Hopkins university in Baltimore,
where he pursued a four years course
and received the degree of Phi. D. He
then entered Harvard college for a
postgraduate course, and after COM
pleting his studies there studied in
German universities for several years.
He has been professor of geology at
