pink roses in the center and with moth

brief comment, and after that he ate
sparingly of the lamb and the tasteless
salad and sought final solace in his

That evening Bettina found him
somewhat unresponstve- In vain she
played and sang his favorite songs in
her little lifting voice In vain she
prattled of her downtown bargains. In
vain she petted him and praised him.
Albert met all of her advances stolidly,
and the next morning found her at her
Aunt Betsey's in tears.

clared.

'A1bert's love ought to be superior to
such things" Bettna said He used
always to quote things like "A jug of
wine, a loaf of bread and thou beside
me, singing In the Wilderness and last
night all of my singing couldn't make
him smile"
But Aunt Betsey was severely on the
defensive.
"a jug of wine and a loaf OF bread
may be all right in hot climates" she
admitted, but yesterday it was snow

you ought to have had something At to

"Wen, thank goodness, my love isn't

loftly.

Helpful Suggestions Which Any One
Can Carry Out Easily.


Blue is always nice for a girls room
and combined with cheesecloth Is cool
and clean looking. Stencil materials
are reasonable, while the work involved
is nothing to speak Of
If blue and white have been chosen
for the color scheme get some Japa-
nese toweling. cut it into lengths. hem
it and use it for few panels against
the walls
If one has couch instead of a bed
there is the Japanese Grape that could
be used as a covering for it. as well as
a few extra pillows. which would go
well with the rest of the room.
OF course if a girl likes sewing and
it rests her, as it does some persons.
she can make many attractive things
for her room besides the sewing for
herself which must be done. But for
many it is hard after the days work
to accomplish anything beyond the
mending and darning and renovadng
which are necessary IL one is to remain
trim and neat. Yet the time and
thought would be well spent, for 1t

Reason For the Moaning.

There is an old story, brief, but in
stinct with a dread warning, which it
may not be out of place to recall for
those who have never heard it:
A boy had wandered into an orchard
one windy day late In the spring. He
stopped under gnarled old apple tree
which, under the pressure of the strong
blast, was swaying and creahng and
moaning as II in greatest agony.
what on earth are you making all
that fuss about?'' the boy asked. in
some derision- your moaning and
grooming are enough to make a black
cat turn pale"
"O-o-o-oh," creaked the tree dismally.
CT guess If you were as full OF green
apples as 1 am you'd moan and groan
too"

SHOES FOR THE ONE LEGGED.

Single Shoes Sold. and Two Pairs Bro
ken For Some Customers
When one legged man buys a shoe
the dealer sends to the factory for a
shoe to match the one left remaining.
In these days OF the use of machinery
in every process Of their manufacture
shoes are made with the utmost exact
ness and precision, and it is easily pos
sible to mate that remaining shoe with
the greatest nicely in size, style, mate
rial and finish
Few people have feet exactly alike
Commonly the left foot is larger than
the right. SO that one shoe may fit a
little more snugfy than the other. Or
dinarily, however. people buy shoes in
regularly matched pairs. the difference
in their feet, if it is noticeable to them
at all, not being enough to make any
other course desirable
But there are people who buy shoes
OF different sizes or widths, in which
case the dealer breaks two pairs for
them. giving them to fit their feet one
shoe from each In such cases the
dealer matches up the two remaining
shoes, one from each of two pairs, just
as he would where he had broken one
pair to sell one shoe to @one legged
mar
But man doesn't have to be one
legged. to have feet of uneven sizes or
shapes to make him ask the dealer to
break a pair OF shoes for him. says the
New York Sun. Here was a man with
two perfectly good feet who came into
the store where he was accustomed to
buy and who wanted on this occasion
one shoe. Travelling In a sleeping car,
his shoes had been mixed up with 9TH
ers. and he had got back one Of his
own and one of some other mans,
fact which he had not discovered until
he was too far away from train and
station to make return and setting
things right possible, and now he came
in to buy one shoe to match his own

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.

When frying meats, fish, ETC., and

on the spots as soon as the frying is
done and rub The stove will be clean

When sweeping mating, to avoid
tearing the fabric slip a covering Of
flannel over the broom. The flannel
will take up the dust easily and will
save the mating much wear
Here Is a way to pad the ironing

about the board. Next put a layer of
cotton batting and over this sew tight

the cover and the work is done.

Children, This Part Is Yours
EXPERIMENTS WITH WORMS.
Their Peculiar Way of Joining To-
qether After Being Cut to Pieces.

In experiments the angle or fish,
worm and a number of other species
of a similar low order in the biological
scale were found to have an odd pow
er. Cut off their heads, and new heads
grow on. Cut off their tails, and new
tails grow. Vivisect them at both ends,
and both ends are soon replaced. Not
only that, but a new body grows on
behind the detached head and also In
front of the detached tail. 1t is not
true, as is sometimes said, that II
fish" worm is cut in pieces the pieces
will join themselves together again
Children would better let scientists
do such experimenting, however, as 1t
amounts to cruelty when done for
sport. The same principle Is worked
out as when you sustain a hurt, per-
haps a burn or lost finger nall Ma
ture then takes its course and heals
the injured section on you as it does
with the worm

Home Dressmaking Lesson For a
Popular Suit of the Season.

Popular Suit of the Season.
Make the blouse of your dress of
white chiffon trimmed with bands of
white lace and the whole yelled with
blue chiffon matching your material in
color. Make the skirt with any of
the effective styles showing the di-
agonal front seam button trimmed and
extend portions of the front and back
panel up on to the blouse. Cut the
neck round and wear without stock, u.s.
ing a dainty frill of white lace and a
tailored bow of velvet in cerise or a
contrasting shade Of blue at front. The
sleeves make to below the elbow, held

WILL KEEP The WATER HOT
Cover for jug Adds Much TO the Com
fort of tho Shaver In the Early
Morning.

A cover for the jug that contains
the hot water fer shaving purposes is
always a useful article, but that
the cold weather is with us. It Is more
than ever essential. We give, there
fore, a sketch OF a handy cover, that
can be slipped over the jug after II
has been filed, and that leaves the
handle free, go that the jug may be
easily carried with the cover upon it.
~Blanketing is perhaps the best ma
terial to select to make it in, but any
thick wooden fabric may be used.
For the upper part of the cover two
circular pieces rather larger than the
top OF the jug should be cut out and
sewn together, and between these two
pieces either a stiff piece of card
board or a piece of tin should be sewn
In to stiffen them. The steam from
the hot water will in time soften card
