DARNING CLASS FOR BOYS
Unique Plan Devised and Adopted at
Guardian Angel Home in Boston
Lads Are Proficient.

Probably the most unique class iE
the city is the boys darning class OF
the Guardian Angel Home in Boston
There are about 130 boys in the home
and the problem of keeping 260 feet
in whole stockings all the time was
quite a ponderous problem for the
sisters in charge, until one of them
thought out the clever plan of form
ing boys darning class The girls
OF the home had a darning class, sc
why should not the boys have one
too? So it was arranged to form q
class of the older boys, with several
of the sisters to Initiate them in this
wonderful art or course there was
plenty of fun as we'll as real wor,
in getting the class properly started
although every one of the boys was
anxious to become member 1t re.

erly. Many Of them insisted on darn.
ing with the needle held in the left
hand; then they were taught not t.
have too long thread, and how to
keep it from becoming knotted. and
lastly to get the holes in the stocking
to disappear gradually. The boys,
however, never seemed to get to un.
derstand the use cf the thimble. When
they used thimbles at all the thimbled
finger stuck out quite uselessly. and
became hindrance to good darning
job. So thimbles have been discarded
entirely by the boys darning class.
The boys have all done good work,
because they were willing and anx.
ious to learn, many of them have be-
come really proficient in the art, and
are very happy and proud to exhibit
their work.
The boys darn for an hour twice q
week. There are about sixty boys in
the class, and the work done hy it is
great relief to the sisters and girls,
and now that the boys appreciate
what it means to darn their own
stockings they are more careful with
them.

THE CID AND XIMENA

A Castilian grandee, De Bivar by
name, in the latter half of the eleventh
century was slain by the count of
Oviedo. De Bivar had one son, Rodri-
go D1az, fiery youth, destined to be.
come the national hero of Spain. Like
many another such hero of olden
times, his real exploits have become
SO tangled with legendary feats that
1t is hard to separate the two. Here
Is his love story, as told in Spanish
chronicle and song:
To avenge his murdered father
young Rodrigo sought out the count OF
Oviedo and challenged him to mortal
combat. The challenge was accepted
The two fought with swords and OWE
do was slain. Rodrigo had but obeyed
the customs of his time in avenging
his fathers death. He considered the
affair now at an end. But Oviedos
daughter, the beautiful Ximena, rushed
to the king of CASTLE, demanding just
ice and begging that her fathers slay
er be put to death by torture.
According TO some accounts, Rodri
60 had already seen Ximena and
Though unknown to herr had lost his
heart to the lovely girl. Thus it had
c;.,. ,, been bitter grief
- u. to him when f1lial
'ssa"ee' devotion forced
him to kill Oviedo and by that deed tc
raise SO fearful a barrier between
himself and the woman he loved. In
any case, Ximena clamOred for his
execution. He was seized and brought
before the judgment seat of the king
to face his fair accuser.
But at sight of the handsome youth
Ximena suddenly lost all longing fo1
his punishment. She withdrew her
plea that he be slain, and he was &C
cordingly set at liberty upon his ex
planation that the killing of Oyiedo
had not been a murder, but a matter
of fair fight and an act of vengeance
for the death of Rodrigos own father
Ximena could not forget the gallant
young man. When she saw he was
equally attracted by her own charms
she so far set aside her former hatred
as to come again to the king and ask
that her hand be given in marriage tc
Rodrigo. The youth eagerly assented
to the plan, which was to change hif
recent enemy to his wife.

equipped in this fashion a boy may
sit down comfortably at his front

that it does not in any way interfere
with the progress of the sled
downhill, where the levers then act as

RASH ALL OVER BOYS BODY.
Awful, crusted, Weeping Eczema on
- Little Sufferer-A Score Of Treat
ments Prove Dismal Failures.
Cure Achieved by cuticura.

my little boy had an awful rash all
over his body and the doctor said it
was eczema. It was terrible, and used
to water awfully. Any place the water
went 1t would form another sore and It
would become crusted. A score or
more physicians failed utterly and dis
mally in their efforts to remove the
trouble. Then I was told to use the
Cuticura Remedies. I got q cake Of
