BY STRICKLAND w. GILLIAN.

Joan OF Arc was born in Domremy
in 1412, thus carefully antedating the
hipless form. the merry widow hat
and the directoire gown. She knew
there were other matters she would
have to attend to. SO she chose an
age when she wouldn't be bothered so
much to keep up with the style.
She was q peasant girl of honest,
therefore poor. parents. and had to
do the milking. Like other husky
farmers daughters. when Bess would
not "so," Joan would vouchsafe the
old heifer q swat over the perceptives
that would make her sorry she hadn't
died in vealhood.
Once, just when she had handed
the line-back moody q clout In the
flank-steak that would hold her awhile,
she thought she heard someone
speaking to her. Further investisa-
ton convinced Joan that the speaker
was an angel. This made her apollo
gize to the COW. Further chat with
the angel gave her to understand 1t
was st. Michael. and at length she
grew 80 at home In his society she
called him Mike.
The message delivered by this angel
was, Go: put on . business suit, and
fight for France"
Joan was at first reluctant about
it-nOt that 1t would be any unde-
sirable change from milking in n.y.

didn't like to wear q three-button
sack-coat and q derby hat. But the

Soap Tree In Florida.

Side by side grow the soap tree and
the tallow tree. The soap tree yields a
product from which Is manufactured
the purest article OF soap that Is pos
sible to be made. Indeed. the pulp of
this berry is a natural soap and will
make a lather almost like the manu-

Is now creating widespread interest
and the berries are being imported
from Algiers and China

the product OF soap and the two to-
gether make a nice con- bination. and
their cultivation should be looked

ries make fine oil. and when the vir-

a Fad Party.


Spoon erezes and monogram fan ep-
Mmeics have been succeeded by Q
rational and useful mania, for each
person pOw-has her own especial hob
by; the more practical the better.
With This in mind q young hostess
ssnt out invitations asking each one
to come prepared to tell of her own
particular fad; II possible. to bring q
specimen. and be prepared to talk five
minutes about II.
1t was very Interesting afternoon.
One lady had selected plates for her
speciality and she brought q most
beautiful old Sevres piece that win
some day be worth q kings ransom.
In her travels plates are always her
quest and her dining room testifies to
her success. Anniversary cups and
saucers was one woman's fad; as each
wedding day comes she adds an ex-
quisite cup to her collection. They
are for after-dinner coffee and show
on to advantage when she serves
black coffee in the drawing room.
A prospective bride adds towel to
her linen chest every trip she takes;
these she mOnograms in the colors Of
her bedrooms to be. A dime bank was
the source Of one guests finances
with which to indulge her fad of tea
pots: many Of these she bought at
auction shops. Handkerchiefs was the
pet hobby of dainty little maiden
dressed in blue. and she had them
from all over the world, besides many
fine creations Of her own fair hands.
The Intellectual girl confessed that
books were her particular weakness,
and she has many of them inscribed
with the authors name; also rare first
editions. and splendid bookplate
drawn by famous illustrator she was
justly proud of.
Chinese carvings was another fad,
and rare Japanese and Chinese pottery
still another. Prints and engravings
were the special love of q lady who
nearly always wore gray, which ex-
actly matched her beautiful hair. All |
this led up to the fact that every one |
needed hobby, something to add zest |
to ones journeys: occupy the mind. |
and provide always topic for enter. |

BEGAN to BE Worried.

Little George. who was four years
old. had been told many Bible stories.
Among them was the story of the
flood and the building of the ark by
Noah.
One day a storm threatened. The
clouds grew darker, the wind arose.
and suddenly the rain began to fall.
