XXII-BILLIE, JOHNNIE AND THE FAIRY HEN

OF COURSE. you know there are all
- kinds OF fairies. There are the
stOry-book sort, that are really delight
full, and then there are fairies that you
meet every day, even on your way 70
school. Some Of them are real fairies,
and some are make-believe. Then there
are creatures which some persons do
not call fairies at all, but which really
are, for they do the most wonderful
things, more wonderful even than max
ing a palace out OF an OLD lamp or
turning a mouse into an elephant So.
you see, II you don't believe IN one
kind OF fairies, you must believe in the
other; that's certain. Now. Billie and
Johnnie Bushytan met a real fairy-a
fairy hen, and I'm going TO tell you all
about II, II you don't wiggle too much
The two little boy squirrels, with
Sister Sallie, went out in the woods
playing one day. They played tag and
leapfrog. only they didn't leap over the
tOadstools, for they didn't want 10

as fast as he could, just 70 keep in

At know exclaimed Sister Sanie.

Johnnie. ''Sallie never went CALL

IT think I'm afraid Of the Uater,' -
said Sister Sallie timidly. Cant we

YES" agreed Billie. Maybe we will

Sister Sallie wheeling the corncob doll
in the carriage with the wheels that
weren't quite round. They went on and
on and on, and pretty soon they came

had never been before. The trees grew

place that they wanted to stay there a

SEWING CASES MADE
OF NARROW RIBBON

The nghtest and most convenient Of
sewing cases is a chatelaine formed Of
long, narrow ribbon matching the
shade of the working dress an5 threaded
through a chain OF gilt or ivory rings
The ribbon is finished with clusters Of
narrower ribbon bows. from which hang
scissors. thimble, pin, and emery cush-
ions. needlecase. piercer, loops of en-
broidery silk, etc.
II is a pretty gift from the embroid-
erer - the embroiderer. Think Of II

~ good management In planting
- for a succession, hyacinthS
blooms may be enjoyed during
most of the winter and until
neer the end of May. They may be
grown singly, or two or more together
IN pots, or boxes for windows.
In boxes or pot place them in a cold,
dark room or cellar, or sink them into
the ground outside and cover them with
leaves, or anything TO. prevent freezing.
They may be left until ready to flower.
You can bring the bulbs into strong
heat, as they are needed. and soon force
them into bloom.
The large Powered hyacinths should
be ported singly. IN five or six inch pots,
according to the size Of the bulb. Fill
your pots lightly with good loan, manure
IN equal parts and have sharp sand well
mixed. Press the bulbs firmly into the
mixture and cover.
Season of Culture.
II you wish a succession, begin to
plant during the latter part Of August
and continue to the last of November,
with five or six weeks between the
paintings.
Before bringing the bulbs into heat
they must be well rooted, with the
crowns beginning to expand. This they
are supposed to do when covered up in
the dark; all the bulb plants require to
rest in secluSion and darkness.
When they are brought inside they
must be kept IN the dark, but as warm
as possible until they break ground"
as an old farmer would say. Then they
may have a sunny window and plenty
OF water at all times: When the lovely
flowers come they will want something
70 strengthen them and increase their
ter.
Six Inches for Depth.
II you use boxes they need not be
over six inches deep. Have the soil
very rich, perfectly drained. and let
no fresh manure come in contact with
your bulbs. as it Will burn them and
cause them to rot. You rust watch
them, and. should they become infested
with green fly or aphis. syringe or din

BUTTONS POPULAR
ON FALL TOILETS
Little Things" Have Big Value In
the Art of Harmonizing
Colors and Effects.

One OF the persistent rumors is that
great numbers OF buttons are TO be
used upon fall toilets. And such ex-
Quisite little affairs as Paris sends.
After look at them one understands
why your true Parisienne is so care
full Of these little things"-hOw she
insists that they match or contrast.
or harmonic with her costume.
Metal buttons will have a due share
of fashionable popularity. All sorts of
carved effects in green gold, rose gold
and various other metals will be cIeY-
erly wrought out
Initiation Jewels are stunning when
used as buttons for fastenings or or
naments. Gay stones Of all hues will
add Just the color touch you need
But there are numberless other
kinds. tOO-crOchet for the dafntier

ALL RETURNED ALIVE.

The fifty Fargo Elks. who made the
trip to Valley City last night were
well repaid for their time and trou-
BILE, for a more pleasant evening and
night was seldom spent by any COM
pany of gentlemen. The train under
the management of DR.. Frank Chand-
Ter, chairman Of the committee of Far
go lodge, left the N. p. station at
4:40 and made the trip to Valley City
in very short time, also making the
stops at Casselton and other places
to let members of the fraternity take
the cars.
When Valley City was reached the
Fargo delegation was met with brass
band and the Valley City lodge and
visitors and after a short parade,
which included the site OF the new
Elks' home in that city, the marchers
reached the armory where a big sup
per was spread. This occupied the
time until after o'clock, when the
lodge was convened with District
Deputy Palda of Minot in the chair,
and from that on events moved rapid
ly.
A class of fawns was taken into the
order and they received instructions
plenty. After the meeting was con-
cluded Judge Palda made an address
and he was followed by James Burns,
exalated ruler Of Fargo, who invited
Valley City and her guests to attend
the big meeting here, and many
promised to come. A social session
followed and the entertainment was
furnished in a most acceptable man
