HOW GIRL EARNED
HER PIN MONEY
Freshened Frills and Jabots for Her
Friends.

A girl who found her allowance next
to nothing determined to earn some
money last summer. She had no special
talents and could not leave home.
The prospect looked dark until friend
happened TO say: You have the freshest
looking frills and jabots, you must never
wear one after It is laundered; mine al
ways look sights from the iaundresses'
replaiting"
'T launder my own" was the reply.
whats more. ! replait them each time.
It takes time. but It pays"
'T wish some one would do mine" said
the first girl. II would gladly pay for
IT,"
The upshot>was that the girl who need
ed money and the girl who hated work
struck bargain Dy which all her friils,
jabots. and piaitings on collars were
carefully renovated for a small sum.
The experiment worked so well that
the girl who needed money. who seems
TO have the business sense that makes
the most OF opportunity II she cannot
create II, got out neat price cards. wrote
letters to her friends, telling them she
would be willing to do up fine friIls at
moderate prices and enclosed In each let
ter the printed card.
II just plating was to be done the
frills were ripped from their bands.
washed and ironed at home, then re-
plated for the small sum of cents a
yard for frilling under five inches wide:
cents for seven inches; 5 cents for ten
inches, the price increasing with the
depth.
Made Speciality of Promptness.
A speciality was made Of promptness
and hurry orders were sometimes, possi-
BILE, while the customer waited. The
plating was done with a machIne-that
the girls mother owned-and was abso-
lutely regular. The band was sent with
each frill so the plating could be made
the exact length. To further It being
put back easily the edge of the plating
was held by a narrow strip Of adhesive
tape.
II ripping must be done . cents were
added to the price OF each yard. and IL
the renovated plating was sewed again
into fits bands 5 cents a frilI was charged.
II the orders were laundered the girl
charged a few cents more than the price
for such articles at nearby hand laun-
dry. and II plating was done as well
the plating charges were added
The work was so well done that II
soon attracted attention and the girl
had enough orders to give her nice
little sum for pocket money. In the fall
she sent her cards TO a nearby boarding
school and her business with the girls
grew so fiourishing that she has taken
a younger sister into partnership.
In attempting such WORK the motto
must be perfection. Half-done plating
or bad laundering viii not bring return
orders. much less new ones BY. system
and businesslike methods a girl could
arrange to do her work in the early
morning hours, thus gaining increased
allowance with little discomfort.

PASSION FLOWERS.

published at the request Of Mns. H. A. GiTen-J
Around the foot OF holy cross.
Where the fisher folk dwelt by the sea
The passion flowers from out the moss
Are raised to the majesty
or the figure of Christ that DER them
bowed
From the cross in the quaint old street,
And the sea wind swayed them in purple
cloud
As they lovingly kissed His feet.
Passion flowers that kiss and hide
The nail-pierced feet Of the Crucifled-
Swept by the hurricanes salt sea breath
The fisher folk knelt by the sea,
And the cry went up to the Lord Of
death,
"Miserere Domino
Dear Christ. our loved ones at sea to-
night
In Thy human heart we lay,
That they come safe home with the
morning light,
And we praise Thy name alway."
And the passion flowers were faint with
As they swept the feet of the Lord
divine.
Fair is the dawn. and the storm is past,
As over a sunlit sea

SORT OF TRIAL COURTSHIP
THATMAY PROVE VALUABLE
The Best Way to Test Mans Love Before Marriage
Is to Let Him See How You Are Likely
to Be Afterward

II he wants to ascertain what sort of
a disposition she has got let him refrain
from telling her that she is the most
wonderful and beautiful creature on earth
and call her attention to some of her
faults. Any of US can be amiable when
we are being famed with hot air, but it
takes a lot of fortitude to have our weak
nesses knocked and still keep a strangle
hold on our tempers.

Also. IL 1 were a man, before 1 ever
undertook any lady's board bill for life,
I'd give her a sample of my real dis
position-the things she's got 10 put up
with for about three hundred and sixty
four days of the year. I'd go to see her
when I was tired, and nerve racked, and
grouchy, and disagreeable, and then I'd
watch how she handled me. If she had
enough sense and tact to get me into
the chair liked best, and not speak to
me until after 1 had my dinner, and IL
she'd cosset me, and pet me, and jolly
me until l felt all good, and cOmforty,
and that 1t didn't make any difference
bow things went at the office so that I
had her to come home TO, why I'd marry
her on the spot for fear might lose her.
But IL she'd never noticed my mood;
IL she were so stupid she began telling
me her own troubles, when l had more
than l could bear Of my own: IL she was
so selfish she wanted TO drag me out to
why, then I'd grab my hat and run as
fast as I could 10 get away from her
before she could lure me 10 the altar.
