Rearranssmsnt Of Tunio Will Trans.
form Your froek.
Frocks may be altered and made to
look entirely different by the rearrange-
ment and changing about Of the tunic.
For instance, II one has a well fitting
white satin frock one may vary the
tunic worn over 1t and variety Of ef-
fects may be obtained. A little altera-
ton or difference in the arrangement
Of shades worn with q frock gives an
air of novelty and interest, yet IL does
not seem to occur to some women what
variety can be obtained BY little
changes here and there. No woman
should scorn such details, and In her
desire to look her best she can easily
get into the habit Of critically examin-
ing herself and her clothes.
A tall, slim figure can, Of course,
stand practically any arrangement Of
this ubiquitous overdress, but the short
or stout woman in this as in many
other details Of her toilet has to be
most careful that no hard line which
may detract in any way from her
height or any undue fulness should be
worn. All lines should sweep DOWN
ward or slope sideways, always keep
ing in view the wish to add length.

DICK AND THE GIANT.
A Moral-Bs Kind to the Helpless
Little Bird.

Dear little Dick! What a gay crea-
ture he was! He used to 60 singing
about nearly all day, for he was al
ways merry. One day Dick went off to
take ramble in large forest at some
distance from home. He had often
been on the edge of the forest, but 1t
looked so dark that he was afraid to
enter. But Dick was more merry than
usual on this day, for the sun shone so
brightly and the flowers looked so love
ly that he sang and whistled till the
woods rang with his music.
There was clear brook running
through the woods, and Dick stopped
down to drink of its refreshing waters,
when, 10, he was seized suddenly from
behind and found himself in the hands
of Il fierce, ugly looking giant.
The poor little captive tried hard to
get away, but the giant held him tight
until he reached his home. and Dick
shivcrcd when he saw the huge struc-
turc with no trees nor flowers near it.
Dick wondered whether the giant
was going to kill him, but before he
had time for further thought he was
thrust into a prison-like room, barred
on all sides. ito prevent his getting out.
Dick grew sadder and lonelier as he
thought of his own pretty home, his
companions. the sunlight, the trees and
the good things he had to eat
One day the giant came, and, poking
Il stick into Dicks prison, he cried:
"Sing. sing, sing" But poor Dick
was too sad to sing. The giant grew
furious, and. grabbing Dick in his
enormous hand. he squeezed the life
out of little Dick.
Dick was bird, and the giant was
cruel boy-Philadelphi Ledger.

ers had refused to remain in the plant,
declaring It to be haunted.
Tho engineer employed to replace
the striker had dis ppeared after the
first nights work, and 1t was declared
that he had been thrown into the fur
mace.
Night after night his phantom form
could be seen lowering in the smoke
and steam from the stack and exhaust
pipes, and no man dared remain, the
fear Of the night shift communicating
itself to the day force.
Raymond always had a good influ-
ence over the men, and Nettie felt GER
tain that he would be able to adjust
matters, but she had given her pledge
not even to speak to him, and she
could not urge him to take up the
work.
1t was late that night and Nettie was
combing her hair when there came a
gentle tap on the door, and she opened
it to admit her father. She was shock
ed at the change that had come over
him In the few hours since dinner. His
face was scanned with furrows and his
form stopped with care.

"Are things as bad as thatT' she
asked. Ellison nodded.
"Unless 1 can obtain a permanent
force by the end Of the week." he said,
ut will be impossible to complete this
contract in time"
"And this Is only Tuesday," she
mused "Ted can do it."
Ellison went away comforted. Apart
from what he termed his presumption,
he liked the man with his clean cut, in
cisive manner and quick comprehen-
sion. Somehow he felt that herein lay
his solution.
The next day there was consterna-
ton in the strikers camp. The pickets
reported that Ted had been made su-
Ierintcndcnt of the works. They liked
him, but also they feared him.

Comical Sentences.

Any number Of persons may sit in a
circle and make a comical sentence by
each furnishing one part Of speech.
Let one begin by whispering to his
neighbor on the left an article; the lat

an adjective, and then in turn the
others whisper in like manner 4 noun
singular, verb, a number, an adjec-

then tells the word given him, and a
sentence is thus formed-for instance,

John Ellison slowly descended from
the carriage and turned toward the
house. He walked slowly and with
the bearing OF man utterly detected.
Nettie, watching him from the veran-
da, dropped her work and ran toward
him.

asked anxiously. Her father shook his
head.

The Sailors Bassy Trousers.

Perhaps you have wondered why
sailors wear baggy trousers, wide at
the bottoms. Even boys sometimes
wear the same baggy uniform.
The reason the sailors trousers are
made this way is that they have to do
so much work on sloppy decks and
throw so much water around that they
always take of their shoes and roll up
their trousers. II 1t were not for the
width of these trousers this would be
impossible, as you will find If you try
to roll an ordinary pair Of trousers up
over your knees. A sailor can turn his
trousers up and down again without
