II there was / have never seen anything
Of It, so shall have to make the curl do. :
The little girl had reasoned that she her
self was probably changed beyond reeogni-
ton, but that her original parents, when
she should find them, would undoubtedly
recognize the curl.
Hurrying then to her own room, Pamela
slipped into her school hat and coat, for
fear that her best ones might make her too
conspicuous, and put on her rlbbers also,
though it was quite dry outdoors. The
little brown curl she slowed away in q
pocket Of her coat. Then she shook hand
full Of pennies, niekels and dimes out Of her
bank and put the money in another pocket.
By this time the tears were coming rather
fast, but Pamela paid 10 attention to them
and started OF very bravely down the road
toward the railroad station.
1t vas not very long walk, but It was
later than Pamela was accustomed to be
out alone, and chill autumn wind began
to blow. 1t wasn't pleasant, certainly,
but foundlings' adventures never were
pleasant, Pamela remembered. And she
kept on. There was one point, however,
that she ought not to have overlooked.
And that was supper Pamela felt as
hungry as II she had been walking all day.
At home, she knew that her own supper
was being put upon her own little table
hot and wholesome and good. And with
every step she was walking further away

terial must be nearly half as long again
as you want 1t to be after the hood IS
completed. The sbirring does not take
up the width very much.
First hem the rectangle of material
all the way around. If you prefer you
may finish it with a narrow lace edge
or with . narrow fringe. If you happen
to have q piece Of Powered chiffon you
can put = border Of this around the edge
instead Of the plain hem.
Then shirr the material across at regu-
lar intervals and for its entire length.
The size of the scarf will regulate the
space between the shirrings. If it is q
small hood there should be only one row
of shirring at each point, but if the hood
is a large one then there should be at
least two rows of shirring at each place.
After the hood is completed it is placed
on the dolls head. either with one end

Of any other. The station was in sight
now, but Pamela did not care. She knew
that at home her dear mother was calling
her and it seemed as il she could hear her
voice. Poor little Pamelal

"A what7" demanded Pamela's father,
who had come out from the city on a train
earlier than usual.
And Pamela explained.
Five minutes later she was eating her
own hot supper, and after that came a
long talk sitting in her mothers lap,
talk that convinced Pamela for all time
that she was not a founding nor an
orphan, nor a princess in disguise. Then,
like all mothers, Mrs. Gard felt uneasy
until the doctor had been called in.
"a case Of too many story books" was
what the doctor said, and be left a small
white pellet that must have been the right
prescription, for Pamela has been con-
tented and happy ever since.

~ NE of the newest and most fash
~ ionable Of the summer fashions for
dolls is the chiffon hood, which may
be used either for motoring or for even
ing wear If Miss Dolly IS a very dressy
young person who reioices in a number
of smart frocks for the theatre and even
ing parties. The hood may also be worn
in the afternoon if Miss Dolly Is going to
a tea or reception or to one Of the fash
ionable doll weddings.
Any little girl may make the hood for
her doll All that is necessary for her to
have is a piece of chiffon, net, lace or
some other soft, thin material An old
veil, if not faded, will do very nicely,
for if there are any rents they may be
sewed up and they will not show, as
the hood is shirred.
The size of the piece of material re-
quired varies with the size of the doll.
The hood when completed should be

N AMELAS greataunt had come t.
This partieulGrH concerned Pa
mela because she and the great
aunt had never seen each other be,
fore, and the greataunt had
stopped over train on her way West On
purpose to see this youthful member Of
the family. So Pamela, who had on .
blue frock that she liked, was whisked
upstairs and put into q white one that
she didn't like so much Her hair had
been brushed very smoothly and tied
with q very broad, stiff ribbon, and now
a little chain that the greataunt had

clasped about her neck. But every

"Psmels's eyes are very useful to her,

Sometimes Pamela was q very laxative
child, but on this occasion she had almost
nothing to say, in spite of the efforts that
were made to draw her out, but sat primly
in her little chair as long as the great
aunt stayed. And when she had gone the
child slipped away by herself 50 quietly
that her mother did not notice what had
become of her. For what Pamela wished
more than anything was to be alone with
her melancholy discovery. Or was it al
together melancholy, after all? 1t was
wonderfully exciting, in any case.
OF course Pamela had had her sus-
picions before this. She had not been 4
constant reader of story books to no pur-
pose. But now she knew. Greataunt
Elizabeth had hit upon the fact at once,
and mother, instead of admitting it, had
hastily changed the conversation. Pamela
was founding!

If had told you IN the beginning what
kind of child she was, you would under
stand why she was 50 quick to come to
this conclusion. In the first place, she
had no brothers and sisters, and when one
is an only child one spends a great deal Of
time by ones self. In the second place,
Pamela was a great lover Of stories and
a great reader of them when there was no
story teller at hand. Indeed, she cared
little for games or toys when there was a
story book oithin reach, even if it was one
she had read twenty times before. Besides
this, she was a very imaginative little girl,
and always after reading or hearing a
story pretended that she herself was the
heroine, and lived the story all over again.

a oToR boat building has be-
come so popular with boys and
N so expert have many boys be-
y come in turning out the smart
toy craft that in one great New
York school the annual regatta
Of toy motor boats has become quite an
important feature of the school year, to
the boys at least. To some extent it is
also regarded as important by the teach
ers because there is so much to be learned
while constructing boat of this sort that
the boat building, If not the regatta itself,
Is considered as part of the work in the
department Of industrial art which is
under the direction Of Mr.. Robert J.
Leonard.
The school swimming pool was utilized
Tor this years regatta, which was helds
short time ago. Every boy in the indus
riaI art department was permitted to
sompete, provided be could make boat
himself. No boy was permitted to enter
the contest with boat bought in a shop
n with one which had been made either
wholly or in part By some one else. The

cruel sisters pranced of to the ball, and
hundreds of times the fairy gOdmother'S
coach had come to fetch her and the
prince had fitted the magic slipper to her
foot.
Now, from reading so many stories,
Pamela had come to believe that found
Iings were extremely common. And she
had often paused in the middle Of a
page and wondered if she, too, hadn't
once been left on her parents doorstep
in a basket. At other times she thou1ht

one of a hundred strange and romantic
histories. But never until to-day had she
been sure that she wasn't what she
seemed to te-that is, eight-year-Old
Pamela Gard, with a comfortable, happy
home and a pleasant school and parents
who-oh, dear, yes! Pamela knew that,
however they had deceived her, she did
most awfully love her mother and father.
And if Greataunt Elizabeth hadn't made
it perfectly plain that no member Of the
Gard family ever had black eyes Pamela

three years old, and which her mother
treasured very jealously. Pamela took one
of the curls, but feeling that 1t wasn't right
to do this without explanation she hastily
wrote some words on a piece Of paper and
placed this in the box. The paper read -

supposed to be largely responsible for
its speed, but there are two other points
about the boat well worthy of considera-
ton BY boys who are building models
Of their own 1t is first necessary to see
that there is q good connection between
the propeller and the motor. This can
be done with a spring joint Csee photo
graph, which permits free play in case
the shaft is not in line, OF, second, by a
sleeve which fts over the end of the pro-
peller shaft and also the axle of the
motor.
The other important point to remember
Is that all the joints which make the con-
nection with the batteries should be sol
dered.
A great deal Of experimenting was nee
essary before the proper pitch of the
blades of the JETS propeller was achieved.
The Toto IL, Philip Dreesbsch's boat,
Is 80 inches long by 3 inches wide. Its
time in the race was sixty feet in twenty
two seconds. The keel and propeller are
made of sheet brass. The ribs are three
sixteenths of an inch thick and an inch
wide. The centre rib is screwed to the
keel.
The canvas was sheIlacked before it
was put on, and then it was put on in
strips overlapping a quarter of an inch.
Over the whole, on the outside, cotton
cloth was glued on and then painted with
white lead paint.
The Black Serpent, built by Leonard
Herzig, was one Of the handsomest boats
that took part in the competition, being
built along the exact lines of a forty foot
racing boat 1t is 40 inches long by 6
inches wide and inches high in the bow.
The Black Serpent, although beautiful to
look upon, was found when in action to
suffer from too long propeller blade.
Its one inch propeller blade was out Of
proportion to its engine, otherwise it
might very probably have made a better
record than its sixty feet in twenty-five
seconds. The hull of the boat was in four
pieces of white pine glued together, and
IFS hood was of oiled silk. Expert opinion
advised a half inch blade for the Black
Serpent's propeller. Il
Aluminium was used to roof in the front
and back deck of the Two Spot, Jr.,
which was built by Walter King. The
Two Spot, Jr, is a smart little craft
which made a much better showing in
private than it did on regatta day, when
it made a record of only sixty feet in
twenty-five seconds. Many of the boats
showed this same exasperating disinclina-
ton to do their best before company,
largely because their eager owners failed
to get as good a start as on the occasions
when they were not 50 intensely inter
ested. The Gnat, another smart looking
boat which figured in the regatta, built
by Horace Hill, had some difficulty dur
ing the exhibition owing to the unfortu-
nate Development of a stiff joint. The
Gnat was a small neat looking craft, 25
inches long, and fitted with four blade
propeller.

bach, which was made exactly like q full
sized motor craft, with a centre keel anC
ribs. This was a very stunning looking
boat, although it did not make such goOt
time as some Of the others. This fact
however, was due not to its method Of
construction, but to the motor and tht
way in which the motor was attached tr
the propeller.

Flaus at Half Mast,

Ever since flags were used in war
1t has been the custom to have the
flag Of the superior or conquering ma
ton above that Of the inferior or van
pushed. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten it hauled its flag
down far enough for the flag of the
victors to be placed above it on the
same pole. This was q token not only
of submission, but of respect. In those
days when a famous soldier died flags
were lowered out of respect to his
memory. The custom long ago passed
from purely military usage to public
life Of all kinds, the flag flying at half
mast being a sign that the dead man
was worthy Of universal respect. The
space left above it is for the flag of
the great conqueror of all, the angel of
death.
