Every girl should have in her work

every colored waist or frock, threaded
with the corresponding color or tint.
In the event Of DOMINIC the frock

has the needle already threaded for
tho necessary work. and Is not de-
layed by having to hunt for the cor

Every girl should have a ribbon box
ono with numerous compartments. In
one compartment she should keep all
white ribbons; in another. all light
tinted ribbons: and still another, dark
colored ribbons; and another for bril-
liant-colored ribbons. Each compart-
ment should be labeled. 50 that the
girl may put her hand on the exa ct
ribbon she wishes for without making
a search Of the entire box. A pretty
ribbon box may be made in this way:
Take a lightweight wooden box, say
sixteen inches long by ten inches wide
and six inches deep. Paint the outside
with white enamel paint. Sprays Of
flowers or ferns. or groups Of tiny
birds and butterflies. may be deli
cately painted on the cover. which, of
course. must be hinged to the box.
The sides Of the box should also carry
some pretty design TO harmonic with
the design on the lid. on the inside
the box should be partitioned into

1T is the wish Of every girl to keep
her wardrobe looking fresh and
neat. This cannot be done II
dresses are hung by the neck or by
little tape loops sewed into the shout
der seams. Dresses. to be kept "!n

from shoulder forms (of wood or
strong wire) or laid lengthwtse in
skirt-boxes. 1t is not always possible
for girls to have skirt-boxes. and many
shoulder forms. In the latter case.
they will nnd tho following sugges-
ton we'll worth while to follow. Take
smooth, clean pine sticks. say four
teen or sixteen inches long and two
inches thick by three inches wide.
With a sharp pocket knife taper the
ends of the sticks to a rounded point.
Then cover them with heavy white
canvas or fadeless ginsham. II one
does not wish to 80 to the expense Of
new covering. take an old sheet and
use strips Of 1t for coverings. When
the stick Is neatly covered, tie about
the middle Of 1t strong tape or
string. formed into six-inch loop.
This will serve admirably as a shout
der form over which to hang your
bodices and Jackets. Skirts, If hung.
should be kept in exact shape, never
allowing parts Of them to sag. A

Just as Peggy was about to go down
to the little restaurant for a bit Of
luncheon--her mothers explicit or
ders-the landlady came in to take
away the soiled towels and to leave
clean ones. and to say that the maid
would be in at one o'clock to tidy up
the room. But as she said this. her
eyes roamed about the apartment. and
look OF pleasure came into them
why. I'd hardly know this room!
How homelike you are fixed. Did you
do all this. child?" And on Peggy's
answering in the affirmative. she came
to her and patted her shoulder. well.

know" she said. "A real. neat. home
girl. one who loves to make things
about her inviting and cheerful. I
know your dear mother will be just
too happy for words when she returns
this evening"
But the coziness Of the room was
not all that was brought about by
Peggys efforts. and when her tired
mother arrived at their home" that
evening a very cheerful sight was In
store for her. On the larger table
which was Of tho library" order. and
roomy--was spread a most inviting
supper. And when Mrs. Brown had
recovered from her surprise at both
supper and surroundings. she said:
why. childie. how have you man
aged? And-where DID you get the
nice hot supper?"
1t wds easy to explain It all. Peggy
had gotten quite chummy With her
landlady, and had been invited down
to the dining room to have cup Of
tea and some toast with her at noon.

How Brave Girl Made Cozy Home.

Ing eastward, made the main room
habitable. The furnishings. while
meagre and much worn. were neat,
far as cleanliness was concerned. This
much Peggy and her mother gathered
at a glance.
Its really very-very--cozy. isn't

hard before bringing herself to say
tho word coy. 1t did not ft their

cozy there.

But-we'd best md some place to

ing this. a knock came mt the door
and the landlady entered. She was
bringing towels and soap. She soon
initiated Mrs. Brown and Peggy In
the mysteries OF a speaking tube
the house was too old-fashioned for
'phones-and they found they were
not obliged to run downstairs every
time they wanted to ask q question.
The landlady recommended q little
restaurant near by whore very good
meals were to be had.
The following morning Mrs. Brown
was of to her work before eight
o'clock. Her employer had given her
full directions as to how she would
ind the place. and had told her that
she would be required to be at her
desk at half-past eight. Peggy was
| left at the room to unpack their trunk
on its arrival from the station and to
get things In ship shape" This
Peggy did with much interest. AS
she went about the room, which had
appeared so bare the night before. she
realized its possibilities. In the two
deep windows she meant to put flower
boxes for they would get the morning
sun. The alcovc. which had held the
bed. should be made Into dressing and
accommodation room, for her mother
had said It was not good place to
sleep. being without windows. So the
bed had been pulled into the big
room, into the corner behind tho
door which opened Into the hall
Peggy also found tall screen in the

Glen could set UP in the yard through
which to study the stars and the moon.
Glen had been reading a good deal In
q large book on astronomy. and when
his father asked him what he would
like for q birthday gift. he said: IRA
just love to have a little telescope
like tho one we saw in tho city last
time va were there. But. OF course,
Daddy, you can't get one for me; It's
out of tho question. So just give me
whatever you think l would like. and
I'm sure I'll be more than satisfied"
Well, Mr.. Daniels did not say
whether or not 1t was out Of the ques-
ton to get the telescope for Glen's
birthday present, but he sat down and
wrote to a brother he had in the city.
and Enclosed his check for a certain
sum Of money. After several days
had passed there came by express
to Glen very long box. and on open
ing It, Glen found. to his great happi-
ness. a fine little telescope.
Glen was the happiest boy in his
town. and that afternoon at school he
told all his friends about his wonder
full new possession, and invited as
many as wished to come that night to
look through the telescope at the
moon, which was Just reaching It's
roundest state.

Moon?" It was Bulger Thomas. the

In position to get the moon as soon

he went into the house and lay down
on the couch In the coy sitting room

While waiting. Glen decided to read
from his book on astronomy. 1t was
a big volume, and Glen found 1t rather

how hard It would be for her mother

for all their meals. and the good land
lady had made Peggy an offer. She
always had a kitchen nre in the late
afternoon. preparing good dinner
for her husband. who came homo at

little roast and some vegetables, why,
she was more than welcome to use

nEGGY and her mother sat
staring out into the night
through q car window. They
were almost at their destina-
t.on, the City. Mrs. Brown was a
widow. with one child. ffteen-year- old
Peggy. and she had been obliged to
accept q position In the city where
she might make better living for her
little daughter and herself than she
had been able to make In the small
village where she had spent most OF
her life. Peggy knew nothing except
the village. save the little she might
have learned from the two visits she
had made In company with her
