Daddy Bedtime
q. When the
DlOIV- Pretty Stars
Are Peeping

$W<HERH was a cute little star peeping in through the bedroom window
as daddy settled himself comfortably beside Jack and Evelyn
u "When I'm big I'm going to buy a flying machine" said Jack
and I'm not going up in the daytime, I'm not but I'll wait till it's
dark and then fly way up into the sky and find out all about the stars that
are shining there"
THAT would be fne" daddy replied. I'm glad you think about the stars.
you ire grown VI, but here isn't any reason why you shouldn't begin to earn
hundreds of miles nearer to you than a flying machine and will help yoTto
imagine you are sailing around nea the stars without the dancer of flying
through the air.
If you were awake all night you would see that they seem % rise Il the ert
reasont he stars seem to rise n the east is because the earth turns from west
to east
There is ne star IN the sky, though, that SEEM always to be in the same
see that it is in Just the same place, while the stars in the Great Bear or the
Little Bear or the other star groups are to be found in different places at diff
ferent times of the year
"a long time o before the compass ws invented, sailors steered theft
ships across the sea by noticing the places in the sky where certain stars were
to be found.
"The north star is thought to be the star around which all the other stars
seems is it may be a great big III many thousands of times larger than
on W
COR the north star may be a huge and wonderful world where live people
Or animals so different from those N Jul that we al scarcely guess what
they are like The sky is full of star worlds of which we know little. The
real stories of the stars Ire more wonderful than anything that the fairy
books cn tell you. Study the stars, and son day you may learn new stories
to tell the world.

HOUSEHOLD
i QUESTIONS

Scorch marks Of linen may be re-
moved by rubbing with a fresh cut
pnion, the garment being soaked in
cold water after.
Keep some folded newspapers handy
upon which to place soiled pots and
pans, and save cleaning smutty rings
from the tables.
When preparing a turkey or chicken,
try rubbing it inside with a piece OF
lemon. 1t will whiten the fesh and
make it more tender.
After cleaning the shelves and in.
side of pantry drawers, give a coat OF
varnish or enamel, and they will clean
as easily as oilcloth.
Avoid open shelves in kitchen or
pantry. Have at least a curtain to
keep out the dust. A window shade of
the right size is liked by many.
To prevent pictures from slipping
and hanging uneven, hang them first
Face to the wall, and then twist
around, making a cross in the wire.
Croquettes Or other foodstuffs to be
fried in deep fat should stand for IF
teen minutes in the warm kitchen be-
fore being cooked, to brown well.

ConvenIences In Now House,

Where a new house is under con-
sideration these practical suggestions
for convenience and comfort may be
embodied: Smooth mouldings and
plain fnishings in woodwork to avoid
Judgment for dust; curves instead OF
angles where walls and ceiling and
walls and floor join, also curved cor
ners in rooms; the ironing board
hinged to the wall, with drop sup
port; a built-in cupboard for mopst
brooms and carpet sweeper; electric
lights in cupboards; secret drawers
for silver or other valuables; built IL
bookcases, sideboards and window
seats, with every possible empty re
cess used for drawer space.

ALWAYS Fairy Tales.

There has never been a language

Two Ways of Getting Ahead.


- BUSINESS man a heard to remark, tom is Just a little sors
n at me, because I'm getting ahead and he Isn't u IT'S his
IA fault. His idea of saving is eve to spend a cent He neve
* Al goes anywhere. He dresses shabbny. He doesn't keep up with
me times. And, consequently, he's in a rut with his moss always at the
grindstone Now believe in saving a certain amount But l believe
also in having, within the bounds of good sense, tn things hat are
worth having, whether they arr a beautiful home. good clothes, an auto
mobile, OF a trip. So keep my eyes open to see ways to earn the money
to get these things. Toms policy is to do without. But mine Is to ac-
qune. And if you go about and keep pin touch with things o are biz
earn mora"
This Is In line with the policy of another successful business
man., whose motto is Don't cut your expenses down; bring your In
come up"
without Analysing their attitude too critically, these e are work
0 life.
1t ls a viewpoint to think upon, isn't 1t?
One car sacrifice too much to saving. A business woman who ws
building a house for herself wa urged by relatives and friends: Now,
ia every cent and get your house paid for az soo as possible"
"Tu do nothing of the kind" she retorted. I'm OF going to atrophy
for that house. I'll say some and pay o n it, But I'm going to good plays
and operas Just the sam as 1 always did, and I'm going to Europe mex
summer"
The relatives gasped and held up their hands in horror and predicted
the sheriff. But she held to her course. 1t took her a little longer to
pay for the home. But when it vas paid for she ws the same alert,
al laid. II she had cut everything out of her life. but building and
paying or that house she wouldn't ave been half so valuable from q
point IT view, and she wouldn't have been half o interesting
and charming
The tendency with most Of us when ougo Greer VI mor than in-
come, Is to check the outgo. We begin to tut OF this and that, to DO
without. But perhaps the more scientific way would be to cst about
to increase the income.
At any rate, this is the policy Of many successful people. And their
experience is worth some consideration. =
