DETERMINATION.

The grade is steep n the road IS
rough,
And thousands have failed to make
IT.;
But if your nerve is b proper stuff
The obstacles there won't shake it.
Ambition points out the way for you,
And keen is your expectation;
But if great things you are going to do
What you need is determination.
So stick to your task with an iron WILL
Let nothing that happens break it,;
The pathway is rough and steep the
hill,
The better for those who make it,
Ambition starts us upon way,
And hope lays the first foundation,
But if you are going to win some day,
What you need is determination.
Success is a thing that thousands here
Sit modify by and sigh for;
A diaden that through dismal fear
They haven't the nerve to try for.
Ambition plants in each manly breast
Desire for a greater station;
But if you are going to attain the best
What you need is determination.

FATHER HAS THE MUMPS.


Do not pass the pickles to him
Though it makes the children grin,
Father will not like your humor,
It's an ugly mood he's in,
And 1t isn't wise to smoker
Or he'll make you bump the bumps
This is not the time for joking,
Dear old father has the mumps.
Do not stand and suck a lemon
In his presence now l pray,
For you can't tell what will happen
If his temper gets away.
Do not ask him foolish questions
Or refer unto the Jumps
That now decorate his features;
Dear old father has the mumps.
Oh, it isn't safe to litter,
And it isn't safe to smile;
Do not clip in something bitter.
If you court your life worth while.
He's more angry than he's poorly
And it's awful how he jumps
AT the folks who come to josh him
Just because he has the humps.

UNFRAYED ScALL0pS.

Some housekeepers object to the but
tonholed scallop on embroidery because
it trays in washing. This al be over
come in several ways. The surest is to
buttonhole a second time over the
puried edge. when the scallop has been
worked and cut out.
Another method is to run the outline
OF the scallop with machine stitching
before buttonholing. Or in cutting
leave a narrow margin and turn back
under the scallop and hem to the ma
terial.
If these are too much trouble, at least
wash the linen before cutting out. The
material shrinks n is much less likely
TO fray. Where the entire piece is not
washed, the embroidered edge can be
dipped in lukewarm water for a few
minutes, then ironed dry and later cut
out close to the purled edge. /,

1927 Straight gathered skirt, IA, is and
Is years.
Young girls are wearing a great many
dresses that are made of bordered ma
terials this season. They are made with
straight skirts and with simple one
piece blouses. and this model is an ex-
cellent one. The skirt is shirred at the
upper edge and is joined to the blouse
in semi-princess style. but the two gar
ments are quite separate, n can be
finished separately, if preferred. The
high waist line is fashionable and gen.
orally becoming, but if such should
not be the case the skirt could be cut
off and Joined to a belt. Bordered ma
terials are exceptionally lovely and ex-
c~eptionally varied this season, and such
a frock as this one means scarcely n
labor. The material makes its own
trimming, the skirt includes only one
seam and the blouse only those under
the arms. The tucks over the shoulders
and the slight gathers at the front
means becoming fullness for slender
figures. Altogether the dress Is as at
tractive and charming as we'll can be.
The marquisette Is both dainty and
fashionable, but bordered effects are to

For These Things We Give Thanks.

Thanksgiving day We should all be
able to give thanks to our parents for
these things:
For clean name, unsullied by ques-
tionable transactions, honorable in
human relations.
For an untainted birth, with such
health as purity transmits, and for the
brooding tenderness that guarded and
cherished US before birth and made
careful preparation for our coming.
For wholesome food, sufficient cloth
ing. and comfortable shelter until our
coming of age, or during the lifetime
OF our parents.
For education. according to the best
standards Of which they knew suited
to our individual needs and possibili'
ties, and preparing us to earn our
own livings.
For such knowledge of our bodies
and minds, and such reverence foI
them as makes intemperance impos
sible.

Thanksgiving day is a proper and

But Thanksgiving day is not simply
for the abstract discussion of general

the emotions. This day does-or

in thanksgiving. Praise should be

II was the dim sight Of the girl and

roadside fence back into the highway.

fence and followed 1t until he saw

word for him.
She was going to spend Thanksgiv.

he was making every effort to locate
her, that he might patch up peace.
He had succeeded. He was going to
throw himself on her mercy and ask
Uncle Robert for a place at his
Thanksgiving table.

advanced. When another day came

storm nor man move from his door. II
