RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
First Used During the American Civil
War-Now an Aid in Fight
ing tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1852, during
the Civil war. After the war, this
method of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for a genera
ton, although it found vogue in Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts of the world.
Stamps or seals were first USED 10
get money for the anti-tuberculosls
crusade in Norway and Sweden IN
1904. After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re.
suit of the interest Of Jacob Rlls III
this movement, the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily P. Bissell, and the Red
Cross society of Delaware combined
! in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. SO
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
| next year, in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue a national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, $4,000 was realized, that
amount being almost doubled in 1909.
This year, for the first time, the sale
is organized on comprehensive
basis, taking in all parts OF the
United States. A million for tuber'
culosis work is confidently expected.

Happily for the comfort of child

and coats hobbled in at the bottom
and trimmed with the big revers
whose outer points drop to the waist.
For the sensible dress worn by girls
between six and ten years soft fin
ished wool, plain or patterned, is ad-
mired above everything. For the
smarter of the little frocks, broadcloth
and basket serge are liked, velvet trim
ming the first perhaps and silk bands
or very handsome stitching the last.

BENNY on Benevolence.

Benevolence is a great thing. When
you have benevolence you cannot rest
until you do something to make other
people feel grateful to you. The other
day my mamma went up into the attic
to find a lot of old clothes to give
to poor people who could not afford to
buy any clothes for themselves. While
she was hunting around she found q
gold-headed cane worth $25 that
grandpa had put up there Ii years
ago, and forgot all about. Thus we
see. dear friends, benevolence brings
its own reward.-Benny.

SEWING Machine Hint.

It is often difficult to sew any thin
fabric, such as any Of the modish
yelling materials, or silk or muslin, on
the machine without pickering it.
This can be avoided by placing a
sheet of tissue paper under the ma

the paper can easily be torn away, and
you will find that your work is quite
