WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act Of Street Walt That
Gained Him a Friend In Great
Novelist.

Charles Dickens. the creator OF
many delightful child characters,
earned a million dollars ddring his
lifetime with his pen. but often walk.
ed the streets OF London in search OF
material for his books without pen
ny in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for penny. Dickens
searched his pockets, but they were
empty. and SO he told the boy, who
was shivering In the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow. well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back in the shadow
of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg,
and finally gained two pennies. He
came dancing to Dickens with Jolly
ring In his voice.
Now" he said. well have two hot
buns apiece"
Such generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
SO forcibly that he took the lad home
with him. and there he was fed and
clothed. and started on the road to a
better life.

AN osTEND BATHING. SUIT WAYS OF HOLDING suNsHADE
GracefuIness In This Respect Adds
Much Charm to the General
Appearance.

The sunshade seems to be a rock
upon which many a woman's good
taste hopelessly founders. Not only
does one often see uncomfortable color
mixtures. but quite as often the sun
shade is held SO ungracefully that the
whole effect is awkward and clumsy.
There ought to be classes on How to
Hold the Sunshade," and nine women
out Of ten would benefit from the les
sons, but as no enterprising individual
has originated the idea. can only
recommend little practice before a
long mirror. Also take note of the
following: "a See that you do not
grasp the handle as II 1t were an i'm
plement of war. (2) Do not hold 1t
too near the center of the handle nor
too near the tip-both these faults are
very common, and give most awk-
ward appearance. (3) Don't use 1t as
a walking stick, nor. If 1t has crook
