RAISIN DAY.

Some of the California newspapers
are lamenting that California's Raisin
Day has o made much of a sensation
in Eastern circles. A sovereign COM
monwealth devised a playful dodge for
advertising a homegrown product, and
too much silence followed the effort.
Here. then, is at least a slight attempt
at amends.
Raisin Day was instituted and fit
tingly celebrated in several parts of
California on April 80. Its purpose
was to aid the raisin- producing
ties, such as Yolo, San Diego, Tulare,
Suffer, Fresno and Kings. to market
their crops and to advertise to the
great world that in raisins California
has a toothsome product.
In San Francisco the celebration was
enthusiastic. All public eating places
sprinkled the menu with raisins. Raisin
sherbets and raisin cocktails cheered
the sojourners in the palaces of drink.
There were raisin %luncheons and raisin
dinners in clubs, hotels and homes. One
gave way to needy and
greedy patrons $4,000 raisin sandwiches.
Fresno declared a half-holiday and
enjoyed a night parade Of illuminated
automobiles-al for the cause.-Col-

GOOD BRIDGE PLAYER
. NOT ALWAYS GOLFER.
BY w.

1t has often been remarked how the
games of bridge and golf seem to go
together. A man who is keen on the
one game is almost certain to be keen
on the other. Keenness, however, does
not necessarily carry proficiency with
it. as the following anecdote will illus
trate.
A well-known bridge player. staying
in the country with a party of golf
enthusiasts, was asked whether he
played golf. He said, Eyes. l am very
fond of It," and he was promptly chal-
lenged to take part in a foursome on
the golf links. The challenge was ac-
cepted and a match was arranged for
the next day, a considerable amount of
money being bet on 1t.
Arrived on the scene of action, our
friends partner drove a good ball from
the first tee, leaving him with a good
lie for the second stroke. The proper
club. a brassie, was handed to him.
He addressed the ball in great style,
squared his shoulders. and smote an
almighty smite, but alas! he missed
the ball altogether. n cut about a
foot and a half of turf out of the
ground. His partner. grievously dis
appointed, gazed at him. more In sor-
row than in anger. and said, quietly,

OUR Chill DREN'S CORNER
SCHOOL BOYS IN SYRIA.

- OW a Syrian boy would stare at
our school, at our desks anu
- maps and bl~ackboards! Hls
school is simply a bare room containing
forty or fifty boys. They leave their
shoes in q pile outside the school door
and when they go in they squat on the
floor each holding his book or tin caro-
containing his lessons before him.
Schooi begins. Every boy at once
commences at the top of his voice TO
study. This he does by swaying back
and forth like the mandarins in the
toy shops. When one goes up to the
teacher to recite he has to scream
louder tina all the rest.
If he should be SO unfortunate as to
miss his angles are tied together and
he Is beaten on the soles of his feet.
II he has beer a very bad boy, he is
treated to an evep worse punishment.
A chain is put around his waist; som
one walks behind him with a whip and
he is driven through the streets. Worse
still, he has to kiss the HAND OF every
man. woman and child he meets. Such
people as masons or carpenters are
often stopped and called to witness a
boys disgrace and have their hands
kissed by him.
What dc you suppose these boys of
Syria learn? No mathematics, no
geography nothing but to read and re-
cite the proverbs n sayings in the
Koran, which is the Bible of the
Syrians. These they also learn to
write, and for this instruction each boy
carries in his belt his ink and case and
paper.
After school there is a grand scramble
for shoes. The first boy released kicks
over the pile to find his. A scene fol-
lows when forty or fifty boys are after
the same thing at the same time. If
a boy is hurt, he calls out, "Ya immer!"
which means, "Oh, my mother!'
This school boy. Of Syria is a droll-
looking ~youngster. He wears red shoes
or slippers turned up at the toes. When
It is wet or muddy he does not want to
soil them, so he wears a pair of kob-
kobs-what we call stills. These are
|only a few inches high and are fastened
Ito a wooden sole with straps to slip
lover the toes. They often slip, but
without disastrous results to h boy.
kDown he comes on his nose the kob-
|kobs go rafting over the stones

How to Keep Well and
How to Remain Pretty
BY MADAME ALTA.

1t is as important not to get too
thin as too fat, as either condition
makes even a young girl look several
years older than her actual age. A
girl who considers herself fully grown
should ascertain what is the correct
weight for her height, and her try to
attain and maintain that standard.
To improve the contour of the face,
try filling the cheeks with air and let
ting 1t explode with a soft sound. Do
this fifteen or twenty times a day.
Overplump girls should carefully
study their figures and decide wherein
they are faulty. usually the waist
lime is too high. The waist may be
Heightened by touching the floor with
the finger tips twenty times every
morning. This practise is better than
wearing sh~ape-making corsets, for
when the waist Is too tightly confined
the figure loses It's natural grace and
ease of movement.

DECORATED DISHES.

Ices and creams look most attractive
when put into individual glasses. with
perhaps a cherry or a bit of candied
mint or a strawberry on top; but a
homemade cream which is turned di-
rectly from the cylindrical freezer on
to the dish may nave a few split lady
fingers pressed around the edge and a
handful of cherries and citron leaves
arranged on top. when at once 1t be-
comes quite as elaborate dessert, says
Harper's Bazaar. Fresh strawberries
arranged with their leaves around a
plain brick of cream also transforms it
at once into a festival dish.
