babies long. In short time she was
trotting all over the farm at her fos-
ter-father's heels; out to the hen
house to feed the chickens; back to
the pump to get pail Of water for
Sam, the old horse; down to the berry
patch to pick berries for supper; over
to the pasture after the COW.
Wherever Uncle Hezekiah went Susie
went, too, or wanted to. It was very
funny to see the old farmer and his
faithful follower.
One day Uncle Hezekiah had to go
to town on business He was already
in sight of the court house tower
when he remembered that he had not
locked Susie in her she'd as usual. He
turned around and looked behind him
IN some uneasiness. In the distance
was a small cloud Of dust. 1t came
nearer and nearer.
Yes, it was Susiel She had fol-
lowed him these three miles to town.
Uncle Hezekiah stopped his horse.
Susie's feet clattered faster over the
dusty road as she saw the beloved
face of her master turned toward
her. When she reached the buggy she
gave joyous grunt of greeting
"Well, Susie. what does this mean?'
Uncle Hezekiah spoke sternly NO
one told you you might come. Go
straight home'
The joyous twist of susies tail un-
wound, and she stood looking at him
with mournful eyes, as he whipped up
his horse and rolled away as fast as
Sans stiff old legs could carry him.
1t was eight o'clock in the evening
before Uncle Hezekiah had finished
his errands and started for the farm
He had reached the top of the hill
where he had left Susie in the after
noon. when he thought he heard a
familiar sound in the darkness. He
listened:
Ugh! Ugh. Ughl Ugh!n

SUSIE
The True story Of a Little sqassllas
Pig

When Susie was little squealing
baby Uncle Hezeldah adopted her.
She was an alone in the world, and So
was he He wrapped her IN piece Of
old carpet and tucked her into box
filled with hay IN the wood shed
" "A queer crib for a baby" you say.
But Susie thought It was delightful.
She had never seen such nice bed
before, for she had been born in the
slummiest Of slums-to tell the truth,
in pig pen.
That pigs are really cleanly crea-
lures, no one could doubt who saw
Susie's milk-white coat. She was
the dearest sweetest little baby piggy
in the world Her pretty pink nose
and little pink ears and the curl Of her
little tail were simply irresistible. So
thought Uncle Hezekiah, as he fed her
bowl Of warm bread and milk three
times each day.
But pretty soon Susie was able to
feed herself, for baby pigs are not

EASY TO MAR PRETTY GARMENT
Much Depends on the Fasteninss Be-
ing Properly Arranged.

The whole appearance of an other
wise pretty garment may be marred
If the fastenings are 'carelessly or in
correctly put on. There are many
garments which are too fine for hooks
and eyes and which are. in fact. fit
ted only for tiny buttonholes and but
tons or hooks and loops. These loops
are used both for small buttons and
for hooks and are put on the collars
of lingerie blouses. on baby clothes.
and other sheer garments. When they
are to be used for buttons they are
put at the extreme edge of hem or
band and sometimes they are placed
on the underneath part of hem
when il has been folded over and so
closes the opening in an invisible man
ner. They are made by arranging
loose threads of certain length to
form a loop large enough for the but
ton to pass through. Use strong sew
ing cotton and fasten on by passing
the middle between the folds to the
edge of the band. Make it quite firm
by taking scanning stitch on it and
give it jerk to test it. Now take
stitch like scanning one as far dis
tant from the first as the diameter
of the button. and draw the cotton in
to within three-quarters or half an
inch from the first stitch. Keep this
loop around the forefinger and make
another one by taking up the first
stitch again. which of course takes
the needle back to the right of the one
last made. Repeat this four or five
times. keeping all the loops the same
length over the finger. Let the last
stitch come on the right hand side. 80

becomes tine left hand. Holding the
work with the loop toward the body.
pass the needle under the loops with
the point toward you and pass the
single thread TO the right under the
needle. This will make a purled edge
at the top of the loop. Continue this
from right TO left and finish of Sc

a similar manner. but the strands are
drawn much tighter and they are
made quarter of an inch or so from
