Kitty in the Basket.
"Where is my little basket gomez
Said Charlie boy one day;
81 guess some little boy or girl
Has taken it away.
rand kitty, too, can't find heri
Oh, dear! what shall l do,
/ wish l could my basket find.
And little kitty too.
'Ill go to mothers room and look:
Perhaps she may be there,
For kitty loves to take nap
In mothers easy chair,
"Oh, mother! mother! come and look
See what a little heap!
My kitty's in the basket here
All cuddled down to Sleep"
He took the basket carefully
And brought it in minute;
And showed it to his mother dear
With little Kitty in it.

WHAT WILL GIRLS DO.

really, If We look it straight in the
face, it isn't such an awful question
after all. BY we, mean girls of aver
age intelligence--not geniuses seeking
careers, but girls who either by choice
or necessity decide to earn their own
living in some way.

A TOOTHPICK QUEEN.

The Crown Princess of ROumanIr,
who before her marriage was Prin-
cess Marie OF Edinburgh, expects to
manufacture 25,000,000 toothpicks this
years. She is the owner and active
manager of a toothpick factory near
Bucharest The workers are tenants
on the estate OF her husband, and
she takes a personal interest in al
Of them. She established the factory
four years ago, and it is one of the
largest and most profitable in Europe.
Toothpicks from the Crown Princess's S
factory go into all European coun-
tries, and are to be found in New
York hote,s in individual paper wrap
pers. The Crown Princess is planning
to manufacture quill pens. many of
which are used in Germany and Rus
sia. 1t is said it is becoming the fash
ion for society women all over Eu.
rope to use quills for writing, and it
is expected American women will NOT
be slow in taking up the fad. This
movement is in line with the general
revival of the fashions of our grand
mothers, and the Crown Princess,
with her usual business acumen, sees
a chance for profit in putting quill
pens on the market.-NeW York

DEFENDS AMERICAN GIRLS.

Mrs John Hays Hammond is indis-
nant that a certain society woman OF
London has seen fit to blame on
American girls the eccentricties o.
the English new woman, especially
those of the new young women, u.s.
ually altogether too new. In the first
place, she insists the American girls
one sees abroad almost always are
tailor-made, neatly booted and glovel
and almost severe in their choice OF
hats. She also resents the suggestion
that American girls are responsible
for the newest English fad, which is
to call young woman by a diminu-
tive or masculine name Mrs. Ham,
mond insists she never has heard
girls in this country called Jimmy
Jack Billy" CT George" although
she often has heard it among Eng
lish folk. <'Why blame your English
girls faults of manners upon her
American cousins?" she asks.-New

HIS SKY MENAGERIE.

Johnny was going to sleep every
night in a big old army tent on the
lawn. The doctor said it would make
him stronger, and 50 everybody was
willing.
Johnny himself thought it would be
fun. At first it did seem a little
strange to be sleeping right under
your own parlor windows, but even
when the cold weather came, Johnny
liked his tent-room the best.
For the doctor was one Of the jolly
kind. First he called the little boy
a real live soldier because he was
fighting the enemy and because he
was brave,-soldiers cannot have their
mothers with them, you know,-and
then when he dressed him up In \
sleeping-bag with fur hcod, he call
ed him an Eskimo.
One evening they made believe tha.
the lawn was a desert. and that john
ny was an ancient Arab sleeping in
his tent "But where is my fiery
steed?" asked the little boy:
"Ah, guess you'll have to take the
great Camelopard-made of stars, up
there in the sky. Can't you see him?
No? Well, perhaps he hasn't swung
round there by your tent door yet, but
he will, never fear. See, there he is
by the pole-star in the tail of the Lit
tie Bear; that's the star the sailor
steers by Orion, the mighty hunter,
will peep in on the southwest. See
his belt of bright stars, and each OF
his star feet spread as if he were
going to stride down the Milky Way
and threaten all the sky animals with
his club"
q Are there enough for whole cir
cus?'
"Well. there are several pretty
ladies. They do say that the big bear
- you call it the Dipper-was once
a mother lady who was changed by
enchantment into a bear. Jupiter took
pity upon her when her son, hun
ter, did not know her. SO he changed
him into Little Bear, and set them
both high up in the heavens. See,
there's dragon running between
them, always trying to reach the two
headed sea-serpent that runs up along
by the Milky Way on the other side
of the sky. See, he is right near Tau
rus, the bull that frightened the los.
Pleiad away. See the other sisters
sparkling near?"
s. Girls are always afraid even Of
cows" said Johnny.
There, right over the other side
of the Milky Way are Gemini, the
twins, with Castor and Pollux at their
feet"
did that first one invent castor
oil?" asked Johnny, laughing.
.There is little dog that follows
these sky-larking boys, just as the
great dog follows after Orion; there's
q hare and dove following after him.
too, and there are two hunting-dogs
which are always worrying the Great
Bear. There's lion, too, on the 9th
er side of the sea-serpent. ram and
q whale. a crab and a crow-oh. and
all sorts OF things!"
The jolly doctor tried to stop here,
for he thought that Johnny was
sleepy.
Tell me more about the sky men,
agerie!" he cried.
@Go right to sleep now, like good
little Arab, and I'll bring you some
books and maps that will tell you all
about them, and help You to under
stand all the wonderful things that
night paints on the ceiling OF the
worlds house. Edith Perry Estes,

AN AMERICAN GIRTS WIT.

American girls, whose ideas of in
dependence do not agree with those
of the French people, are bothered
by mashers whenever they attempt
to go about unescorted in Paris. No
French girl whose parents have
proper regard for her is ever allow
ed to do such thing, and the idea
has became implanted in the native
mind that any young woman who ap-
pears alone is at least unconventional.
1T did not take young and attractive
American girl long to learn this fact
this summer when she travelled
around Paris as she was accustomed
to in New York All manner of men
smirked at her, lifted their hats, tried
to act as her escort and endeavored
to begin conversations.
But every one faded suddenly when
she gave him her anti-masher treat
ment, which worked better than a
strong right arm. To each she ex-
tended her hand, palm up, with one

SHE'S 4 CHICKASAW BLONDE.
Blonde Indians are as rare as Indian
blondes. Yet there are such. Witness
Mrs. B. H. Colbert Of the Indian
Territory She is an Indian-not full
breed, but with enough aboriginal
blood in her veins to preserve many
of the traits of the prairie race.
She is blonde of an ex-
treme type. Her complexion is that
of babe, her eyes are the brightest
of blue, her hair is the real golden
shade. She is proud of her Indian an
cestry, much prcuder of it than OF
her white descent. In fact, despite her
peaches-and-cream coloring. she is
none too fond of palefaces. Mrs.
Colbert lives in Tishomingo. which
isn't as bad as it sounds. She is
Chickasaw and is accredited with ex-
ceptional ability-New York Press.

LADY BUNTING.

The Birthday honor rendered to the

say an American. He and Lady BUM
ing are valued at their great worth
in Sweden, the Netherlands, parts OF
Germany. Switzerland, France, and
by an elite of Italians, OF Greeks ana
Hungarians. Austria does not plume
itself on holding the ideas represent
ed in Sir Percy Buntings Review. NOT
does Spain or Portugal, two nations
geographically peninsular, but moral
ly insular, and outside Of Europe.
Sir Percy and Lady Bunting often
come to France. He is we'll versed
in French literature, and | dare say
could speak on French platform as
pure and facile French as his SIS
ter, the late Mrs. Amos. Lady Bunt-
ing could. if she cared to do so
(Which she does no), boast Of not
very remote Pierrepont Oucal Kings
toni ancestors. Two of her grandpar-
ents came from Metz to be out or
the way of religious persecution.
Lady Bunting is unique. This de-
prives me of standards in writing
Of her. Some years ago my attention
was called to attacks made on her
brother-in-law, London County Coun-
cillor, by winners and music-hall
managers. In attacking him they at
tackled her back-parlor influence. l
longed as I read the onslaughts-aN
cayenne peppered with scurrility-to
proclaim what / knew Of that back
parlor. Could the world have viewed
it through my eyes they must have
revered it as a sacred spot, a place
for pilgrims to resort to. That back
parlor was really a charity Office re-
sorted to by females on whom our
civilization at high tension, with its
dregs of feudalism, presses cruelty.
The painful monotcny of hearing
their complaints or their accounts OF

or-elect w. W. Kitchin, who will this
week succeed Governor Glenn, will in
clude in his inaugural message an UNI
qualified Endorsement of a legislative
measure to guarantee state bank de-
posits in North Carolina.
Governor Glenn and a number OF
other prominent party leaders, active
in state government, are known to op-
pose decidedly such a course, their con-
tention being that a lesson most for
chilly taught by recent national and
state election returns, is that the peo-
pie are, to say the least, not ready for
such an innovation. One of the sharp
est contests in the present legislature
l.; to be on this issue.
Governor Glenn, the retiring chief
executive, has had a spectacular ad-
ministration. His fight with the fed
eral courts in regard to the railroad
rate law attracted national attention,
and he was largely responsible for the
passage of the prohibition law whica,
