EVANSVILLE. Ind, Oct. IA
Little Miss Winifred Sackville
Stoner, jr., eight years old, con-
verses fluently in seven languages
and in others to limited extent.
Little "Cherie," as she is called, is
a product of the system of educa-
ton advocated by John Stuart
Mill and Prof. James of Harvard.
Ever since her birth she has
had the association of cultured
minds and the classics. At three
weeks her instruction began.
When less than year old she
could talk, and at two she learned
to write. By the time she was
three the child could manipulate
"a typewriter and had begun to
study the classics and Greek
mythology.
Mrs. Stoner, her mother, is at
the head of the Woman's Ecper-
ant League of America. When
four years of age the baby was
given a diploma by DR.. Ramenhof
Russ as one of the best Esperanto
linguists in the country.
Winifred contributes frequently
to newspapers and magazines. She
won a silver medal from a child's
magazine last fall for her clever
verse. Her book of "Jingles" was
printed last year.
The PRODIGY is of English an
cestry, being the granddaughter
of Thomas Sackville and the grand
neice of the late Lord Lionel
Sackville West, of whose estate
her mother is the heir Mrs.
Stoner is the author of Castles
in Spain"

Dear Miss Grey: What steps
should one take to dramatic g
novel? Please explain fully. f. s.
Alt is as easy to explain fully
how to do this as it is to tell how
to paint a picture or to play the
piano. To dramatic story, divide
the plot into acts, subdivide these
into scenes and properly adapt the
matter to stage conversation and
action. There are many books on
this subject, dealing with various
meth DDS, and very large number
of people have carefully studied
them all without learning how to
do it.

Dear Miss Grey: A fine young
man has paid me special attention,
but lately he has stopped calling or
taking me places. He seemed to
thing a lot of me, but | cannot get
I'D courage to ask him what the
trouble I is, as he is very popular
and may not have thought esrious-
ly of paying me attention and may
think, as the old saying goes, "a
change is as good as rest" But
he does not go around with any
girl in particular now. Can you tell
me how l can win him back? OF
course there are other boys l can
get, but | want this one.
LETTIE.
Aft you can find any particu-
lar cause for his GOODNESS and can
remedy it, he may return to the
old relation. Otherwise the ques-
tion-how a girl may win the man
she wants-is too broad for this
column. 1T is broader than all psy-
chology and all philosophy. 1t can
be answered only in each girPs
own heart in her own case.
Dear Miss Grey: expect to take
a trip soon. Will you please tell
me how to order at hotel foi
meals? ANXIOUS INQUIRER. j
i A-Consult the bill of fare, your
haste and your appetite. If these
are not sufficient guides, ask the
waiter to assist you. Ease in or
dering hotel meals comes only

Here Are Some Good Daily
Hints for Your Household

When sewing hooks on wash
dress which will need frequent
pressing, try sewing the eyes on
the upper flap and the hooks on
the under instead of the reverse
(the usual way). The outer flap
may then be ironed smoothly.

Sponges should be washed In
warm water in which a small
quantity of tartaric acid has beer
dissolved. This will keep them
soft and of good color. Take care
not to use too much tartaric acid
or it will spoil the sponge.

To remove tar from wash fab
RIGS cover the spot with lard and
let it soak. Pour boiling water
ON it and then wash out.

Needlewomen who suffer from
damp hands will find it is an ex-
cellent plan to rub the palms of
the hands occasionally with a solu-
ton of borax in a little alcohol.
When sewing keep a sponge satur-
ated with the solution ready at
hand and occasionally squeeze it
in the palms of the hands, allow
ing the moisture to dry without
wiping them.

Iglycerine absorbs the coloring
matter.
Wrap gold or silver trimmings
in black paper and you will find
that they will remain untarnished
through many seasons. All frocks
should be wrapped in black paper
also. A good quality of tissue
paper should be used, and, If this
is not practicable, use heavier
grade.

ALL AROUND
THE HOrR
By Cynthia Grey .

Instead of having buttons loose
in a machine drawer or strung to-
gether. try putting them on safety
pins. The largest buttons on large
pins, the next size on smaller ones,
etc. Then hook each pin and
when you want the buttons they
are ready to remove.
Thumb tacks instead of the or
binary tacks will be found much
better for keeping the ironing
board cover in place.
To prevent any shade of blue
from fading, soak for two hours
. in pail of water to which one
ounce of sugar of lead has been
added. Then be sure to dry well
before washing and ironing.
