Diplomacy In Small THINGS.

Little Eloise Cave, aged seven
years, was visiting her grandmother
in Madison, Va, and was sent to carry
a saucer of ice cream to a neighbor.
BY the exercise of infinite care she
conveyed her burden safely to the
house and gave it into the hands OF
the lady for whom it was intended.
The lady. however. was less careful
than Eloise had been, and dropped
the saucer and broke 1t.
You needn't mind about that"
said the little diplomat, without an
instant's hesitation. 81 don't think

To prevent this follow these instruc,

This is a good, big, square house as
dimensions go in these days of high
prices-just the kind of house to sup
port a good veranda. In fact, the
long veranda gives an air Of elegance
to what would otherwise be a rather
plain exterior. To save expense, the
kitchen part is only one story in
height, but the house is large enough
then for an ordinary family of from
four to six adults and children.
A bedroom downstairs is liked by
old persons because they object to
climbing stairs. This style of house
