ENDED THE SPELLING LESSON
eobby's Education, Under Aunt;
Tutelaqe, Afterward Proceeded
Under Different Lines.

Miss Thompson, whose form nature
has endowed with all-too-ample
curves, was giving her little nephew
q lesson in spelling the other day. He
had spelt be, be. and he, he, and
now she was trying to get him TO tell
her what me spelt.
Listen, Bobby" she said earnest
ly Then closing her lips she pro
nounced the sound Of a long m, and
opening them, the sound of a long e.
What does that spell?"
Bobby looked at her and shook his
head. Again she tried, and this time.
while proEcuncing the sounds, she Wig
orously tapped her own rotund chest
with her plump torefnger.
"Mmum, ee. What letters am say
ing and what do they spell?" she
asked, still vigorously tapping her
chest.
q don't know what the letters are, q"
replied Bobby, watching the plump
forefnger. but guess they spell

is DISTINCTLY BAD TRAIT
Too Many Girls Aim at compIsts No
nopoly Of Men Who Pay
Them Attention.

Are you one OF the girls who Is sc
feaful OF sharing your good timed
that you steer men from the Othei
girls7
There are many girls like that. and
they are not loved by their own sex
in consequence.
II 1t we're only the unpopular girl
who acted thus there might be come
excuse for it--a man on her horizon is
such a wonder that she wants TO hold
him. But there are girls who are
bellies who are selfish about keeping
men to themselves.
Why do they do IL?
Perhaps from vanity. They like to
seem the great belle OF their set, the
one with an ever-growing string OF al
mirers.
Perhaps from jealousy. There is
many a girl who would Indignantly
deny being jealous who presents that
appearance by her dread Of sharing
her attention. She makes a point Of
keeping her men friends and her girl
friends apart; she never introduces
save when driven to II, and quickly
follows the introduction by detraction
OF the other girl to the man, some
times by open mischiei-making.
Perhaps from selflshness. She
thinks that the fewer girls stranger
in town knows the more time and
money he viii have to spend upon
her
Whatever the cause. It is q poor
one and shortsighted A girl must be
uncertain OF her own power to charm
tint she fears to stand her chances
with other girls. A girl whom man
likes will be singled out by him from
the midst OF a dozen fascinating maid
ems. II he doesn't like her. nothing
can chain him to her.
And the more a girl seeks to keep
man to herself the more restive grows
that man. 1t is fatal for any girl to
have ownership airs with the men
that are nice to her. II the man be
serious in his attentions he begins to
wonder If his fair one is Jealous. II
he is only polite, he thinks the girl
misunderstands politeness and eools
on forthwith.
The more eligible a man is the high.
er he rates himself; the more inclined
to sheer away from the girl who seeks
to monopolize him.

Real Woman-Hater.

A will Of a confirmed woman-hater,
writes Virgil NJ. Harris in Ancient
Curios and Famous Wills, 80 is that OF
rich old bachelor who had endured
much from attempts made by his
family to put him under the yoke OF
matrimony, and who wrote: Il beg
that my executors will see that l am
buried where there is no woman in
tered, either to the right or to the
left Of me. Should this not be prac-
tlcable, l direct that they purchase
three graves, and bury me in the mid
die one of the three, leaving the two
others unoccupied."

make up some beautiful sets for
mourning wear. BY adding Grape furs
may be remodeled and the most ele-
gaut effects produced. Furthermore
small muffs may be made large and
the unworn portions of coats or scarfs
used for new and fashionable neck
pieces.
Nothing could be handsomer than
the combination Of Grape and Per.
sian lamb. A collar and mum are
shown here of Grape and fur, worn
with a cap having a fur crown and
Grape coronet
A small muff provided the fur for
the large one shown here. A large
bed" was suitably lined with soft
black silk and double rufIies OF Grape
laid about each end. The fur in a
broad band covers the center. An.
other muff on a fiat bed shows the
Grape shirred at the center and the
fur in a band at each side with fall
ing plated rufles of Grape.
The new piece is cleyerly shaped
and worn with the separate tab in
front. Two folds of Grape outline the
edges. A ruf1e OF soft duh silk rib
bon finishes the neck and a bow is
placed at the fastening.
The Grape used for this purpose is
Of the English waterproof variety
and it is essential that this fabric be
moisture proof, otherwise the first
snowstorm may demoish 1t. 1t should
be tested when purchased.
Matched sets, including hat, nun,
neck-piece and bag are so much the
fashion that the possessor OF furs
which are beginning to show wear
might take the mint this illustration
gives, and combine fur with velvet,
silk or chiffon. If not in mourning. or,
by all means, with Grape ii in mourn.
Ing. The result is something elegant
and very up-to-date.

Brooches Of Braid.

The popularity Of the side frill or
lapel that needs a pin to hold It in
place has brought about the use OF
many ornamental brooches. One of
the newest of these is made Of gold
braid with colored beads for the cen.
ter. And any girl can make such a
brooch Disks of dull gold braid
sewed together and centered with
Jewels or beads In desirable color

ABOUT THE CLOTHES MOTH
Destructive Insect Pests Are Common

Housekeepers Know.

It is appalling when one considers
the destruction done by the common
house moth. To remove winter
clothing from closets and trunks only

keepers heart.
These destructive insects infest
alike the town and country.
Naturalists recognize three distinct
species of clothes moth 1t is not the
moths themselves, however, who do
the damage. but their tiny grubs or
caterpillars.
The worst of these species are the

watched her fuss over the tiny white
