CARE Of WATCHES
BRINGS RESULTS
Will Give Service for Gener-
ations If Properly
Handled.
MAN who repairs watches says:

~ Never get into the habit Of
~ holding the stem and winding
the watch: always hold tile
watch and wind the stem. II you will
try both ways you will see what I
mean. and perhaps find that you have
bad habit. Moreover, wind the watch
as nearly as possible at the same time
every day 1t is bad for a timepiece
to be wound too frequently or to be
allowed to run down entirely.
AT night either hang the watch up
small watch stands come for the pur-
pose, or a tiny yet firm brass hook on
the wall will do as well-or, If you lay
II down, see that there is some soft
article under it Above all, do not
keep it in a too hot or too cold a place,
in spite of all the watchmakers will
tell you about the temperature tests
to which their wares have been sub
jected.
do not carry a watch around loose
in a bag or pocketbook. II neither fob,
chatelaine nor chain is possible with
the gown you are wearing, pin the
watch firmly under your dress. The
leather wristband with the watch set
into it is bad for the watch-it is only
too likely to bump against everything
YOU touch Don't wear a watch on
fob unless you are willing to lose It.
About once a year send your watch

it carefully otherwise and 1t will be

Il Little Bedtime Tales By EDITH HAvENs Il |:

IAN you picture a beautiful valley
- with pretty little white cottages
here and there with countless trees, and
great woodlands all about?
Well, that is the kind of a place where
Myrtle and Frederick lived. 1t seemed
as If this beautiful little land had been
dropped right down into the heart of
the woods, but how those little people
came to live there along with a few
other gentlefolk is still a mystery.
But, anyway, they lived there, and
they were the only two little folks in
the valley. 1t was winter time, and the
ground glistened under a fresh fall of
snow. Within one Of the little white
cottages a great hearthlog spluttered
and danced in the flame in the fireplace.
And. gazing straight into the leaping
freight, sat Myrtle and Frederick.
How blue some of the fire is" said

Allowing a Man to Call.

Reader would not advise you tc
give any man permission to call upon
you If the meeting has been casual. and
you know nothing about him. The
length of time that transpires between
an Introduction to a man and his ask
ing to call has nothing to do with the
matter. The question, pure and simple,
is. Have you any knowledge of the
man? You did not tell me how you met
him, nor where; but 1 understand from
your letter that you know little of him
beyond your introduction to him. If he
is known favorably by the friend you
mention, Of whom he asked your ad-
dress, there can be no improperly In
permitting him to come to your home.

They were not afraid. Neither spoke.
Behind them a trail OF tiny black holes
led straight to the door of the cottage.
Well within the shadow of the trees
they stopped. They peered straight in
TO the inky blackness ahead. Not a
sound.

NO" answered the boy.
There came a muffied fiuttering sound
and above their heads they suddenly
noticed something silvery floating softly
along.

They watched in silence the flying
