child for a heroine that has been
lately written is the work OF Viz
Einia authoress, Edna Lee Turpin, pre-
viously known as the author OF q
child's history of the United States and
Of several works dealing with agricul-
ture in her native State, where Miss
Turpin Is as successful in farming as
she is In the vocation of literature.
Honey Sweet" Is named for n rag
doll that plays very human part in
the life of II little child who carries
the doll In her arms, endows 1t with
speech and makes OF II her confldante,
lavishinS upon 1t all the love that IL
denied natural expression through the
absence of family ties.
For through succession of curious
~ natural yet unusual circumstances,
the child who loves Honey Sweet is
left all alone In the world. The death
of her adopted mother leads to her
being placed in an orphan asylum In
Richmond. Taken from the asylum
by friends. she wanders back to the
neighborhood of her old home, not far
from Lynchburg. Va, so the story in
locates. and hides herself away from
pursuit. because she prefers the life
into which she has fallen to going
back to the asylum.
After while relatives discover her,
and she Is again little girl with Ii
name and place of her own in the
great world of humanity. Only she
mourns Honey Sweet. the faithful, who
comes to an untincly end Just when
her little comrade is reaching the
age which bars out doll companion
ship
The story is simply told. and vet
there is in 1t much of the real philos.
ophy of life, much that Will give the
book Il permanent place In the library
and the heart Of readers. Miss Turpin
has found new type for Il heroine
in the picture she has drawn OF "a little

chances. that might have broken n
less gallant nature
Tho environment of the story and
tho people who come and go In 1t lend
1t an atmosphere and color that will be
quickly recognized and appreciated by
lovers of what is genuine and so full
OF real charm.
Marion Harland In n recent letter
about Edna Turpin's story, compares
the book to Juliana Horntio Ewing's

comparison from one OF the standing

Padding Embroidery.

Where heavy padding is desired under
embroidery, try using little wads of raw
cotton instead of filling in the padded
space with many, many stitches of darn
ing thread.
TO pad a scalIop, catch up a bit of raw
cotton in your fingers and roll it be-
tween the thumb ard forefinger until II
is the length of the ,scaIlop, thick in the
renter, but tapering to a mere thread
at each end. Lay this on the scallop
and with a few stitches catch to the
