SECRET OF LOOKING SMART
Neatnsss and Tasts In Dressing VIII
Always alive the Girl 4 Good
Appearance.

There are many girls who, without
being at all good looking, always ap-
pear neat and smart.
They may only have q small dress
allowance. but with 1t are able to
appear more attractive than girls
who, with twice their amount Of
money. often look overdressed or
dowdy.
What IL the secret Of this7
Surely 1t is due to the neat girls
taste; she always puts on her clothes
with care and makes 4 point of her
appearance being neat and tidy. She
keeps her wardrobe orderly and has
a place for everything; her ribbons,
gloves, ha~ndkerchiefs, eto., are never
bundled upon 4 drawer Just to get
them out OF the way, but are careful
ly put in their proper places.
On the other hand, a girl clad in
an expensive dress will often spoil
her appearance by the careless way
in which she puts on her clothes. los
ing the daintiness that she might
have had with a little more care.
1t IL a mothers duty to see that
her children are taught from child
hood to be careful and tidy; other
wise by the time they are grown up
they will have become 80 accustomed
to carelessness and untidiness that
these will be second nature to them.

The Lamb Followed the

= ACK and Evelyn settled down after a Hvhy pillow fight Daddy ws
ready for their story. They knew that uness they were quiet and well
behaved he would go away without telling It to them. Said daddy:
q Little Bnnhe Ba was a nice little lamb. Bnnkie lived o a farm
with Mamma Baa and evr 20 many other sheep

boy went 4
"BHnke seems to think a heap of Davie' the farmer said to his wife.
"Yes. indeed she replied. The lamb would make a nice pet for the boy
"Oh, I should like thatv exclaimed Dave. May l take the lamb home

"BHnke. who a near heard this and he vas quite pleased. He thought
1t would be nice to be a pet lamb.

Mother, oh, mother he cried; I'm going to be a pet lambr
But when he explained to her that this meant that Davie vas going -
take Blnkte home with him she did no seem Al all pleased.
"Oh, Bnnkie, how can you bear to 70 away and leave mer she cried.
"Oh, mother dear, I may com to see you some tmer he answered.
1.-THE tears RAJ down his mothers lace. Bnnke seemed to care 70 MtL
about leaving home. He thought that being a pet would mean a 10 neck
ribbon for him every day and all sorts OF nice things to eat
well, the next day Davte took Bnnkie home with him. The ride was only
a short one but BEnkie was frightened by the noIse Of the train.
when they reached Davies home the little boys mother ws lot very
well pleased. You have too many pets already she said to Davis.
"Binkie had to sleep all alone in the barn that night He had n nice
warm mamma sheep to cuddle against and be vas afraid Of the dark He
baaed with homesickness all night
The next day Davies mother said: That lamb is crying for It's mother.
We ought to send 1t homs BY this time Davie had tired OF bis new pet and
he agreed. So the next night a veyh happy Bunke nestled by his mothera
side in the old sheepfod. Pm never going to leave you, mother lear, he
murmured as he sank to sleep"

Not Stir,

The dining room, its decorations and
the general arrangement Of the table
have much to do with the pleasure Of
dining. The room itself should BE-
light, cheerful and simple. The serv-
los at table. even for ones own fam.
lily, demands an absolutely spotless
linen t~ablecloth. II this cannot be
had . polished table with plain, hem
stitched doilies should be used. These
are cheap and easily %laundered. There
are fashions in linen As we'll as in
other things, but the laws governing
them are flexible enough to satisfy the
tastes and purses Of people in all
walks Of life.
II you cannot afford a tablecloth sui
hciently heavy to be slightly without
starch. use in the last rinsing water q
little rice water or q very thin corn
starch-enough to give body without
actual stiffness. This rule applies
also to napkins. Neither, however,
must be stir.
The cloth should never be laid on
a bare table, but over 4 piece OF double
width cotton flannel or an old blanket
that has been thoroughly cleansed. Let
1t fall gracefully over the ends Of the
table.
After the tablecloth is spread place

hold . banquet lamp. or oandelabra.
