little child about the house?"
Linden bluShed. 1t was one of his
mothers greatest regrets that he never
had married. but he was absurdly
bashful. and be hated the thought.
For that reason he had welcomed the
suggestion that he should lend his
mother to Billy Corson's motherless
little sister 1t would help her to for
get his own refusal to wed.
There had been great preparations
made since the letter of acceptance
had been sent. Linden had almost
bankrupted himself in the purchase of
toys. and the little room where as a
child he had played was overlooking
with all sorts of dolls and things.
Daisy was to come on the noon train
in the care of the conductor, and Bob
by Linden could scarcely wait until he
could get his most pressing affairs
Strengthened out before he rushed off
home.
On the way he stopped to pick up
few more toys. and it was with his
arms loaded down that he hurried
through the shady street and into his
own gate. Then he gave a gasp. On
the porch sat a girl in summary cos

not be the nurse. She was far too
well dressed for a nurse. 1t must be
one of the local girls calling. He
thought of the toy store package which
had come undone and from which Il
dolls legs waved pinkly and unre
strained. and the perspiration beaded
his forehead.
He had always tried to appear digni-
fed before the girls. 1t kept them at
distance. But how on earth could
he look dignified with those internal
toys dangling beneath his elbow?
The two women rose as he assembled
the steps, and Mrs. Linden presented
the other.
Miss Corson,' he echoed blankly.
"Dick always spoke of me as his
little sister, she said as she came
forward. Il hope you are not disap-
pointed"
Disappointed that he should be the
companion of such glorious girl?
Bob chuckled, and in the saving grace
of humor he lost his bashfulness.
You are most welcome" he laughed
as his hand closed over hers. "Since
you are Daisy Corson these are for
you" And he waved thase pink abom-
nations under her eyes Wi an audac-
ity that surprised himself.

TROUSSEAU ACCESSORIES.
How to Make Bridal Sachets and
Throwover of China Silk.


Accessories are important in the
trouSseau of bride today, and, hap
PLY for her. the majority of these lit
tie things are handmade and can be
fashioned by the girl herself
Her Sachets are made by the girl
herself or by friends. Sachets are now
made of the thinnest china silk or fine
handkerchief linen.
They are cut double, of course. and
have a sheet of very thin wadding be-
tween, but they occupy SO little space
that several, with their contents, can
be carried in a suit case, with room
to spare. A lovely one, designed to
hold dainty lingerie, is made of pale
blue china silk thirty-six inches long
and eighteen inches wide, double. Be
tween the two pieces of silk is laid the
cotton wadding. thickly sprinkled with
the brides favorite sachet. The silk
which is to he the inside of the sachet
is caught to the wadding at intervals
with tiny stitches to hold the wadding

The outside piece of silk is embrofd-
cred with I"~ge bowllnot. having
long ends that ripple over the length
of tho sschet. The embroidery is done
In r-hlre floss.
The edges of the silk are turned in
and sewed together by hand, then
bound with narrow blue satin ribbon.
Now the Sachet is folded over on itself
for fifteen inches and the edges caught
together with Il loose buttonhole or
catstitch. leaving three inches at the
top to fold over like the flap of an
envelope. This has piece of the rib
bon in the center held down by n fat
bow. The under part is fitted with
the sa-at so that when the lingerie is

Your Tea and Coffee.

Good tea and good coffee cannot be

nursery had been converted into a sit

entered into the furnishing of this with

For Our Boy and Girl Readers
THE EMPEROR AND THE FIGS.
Story of How the King Rewarded the
Old Man


An emperor. seeing an old man plant
ing big tree. asked why he was doing
this. The man replied that he might
live TO eat of the fruit, but even if he
did not his son would enjoy the figs.
Well said the emperor, IF you do
live to eat OF the fruit of this tree
pray you let me know of it"
The man promised to do so, and.
sure enough, his life was prolonged
until the tree grew and bore fruit,
which the old man ate.
Packing some of the finest of the
figs in a basket, he set out for the
palace and when he explained his er-
rand was shown by the guards into
the emperor's presence.
The emperor was so pleased that he
accepted the gift of the figs and or
with gold
Now, next door to this old man there
lived a woman who was very covetous,
and, seeing his good fortune, she pack
ed some figs into a basket and per-
suaded her husband to take them to
the emperor In the hope of receiving
In return a basket full of gold
But the emperor. on learning the
mans GRAND, ordered him to stand in
the courtyard and had him pelted with
the figs. When the man arrived home
and told his wife all that had taken
place she consoled him by saying:
'.Ah, WE'LL You may be thankful
they were figs and not hard cocoanuts."

rife and full marching kit on his back.
Norwegian soldier, when equipped
with his snowshoes, can travel at thir-
ty miles an hour on a slight grade, and
even on level ground he can cover from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour. The
skis used by the Norwegian soldiers
consist of fat pieces OF wood from
eight to twelve feet long and from four
and one-half to six inches broad. The
Norwegian infantryman is trained
from childhood in the use of skis. and
his skill is such that he can glide in
and OUT of the trees without a crackle
to betray his whereabouts, says Tit
Bits
When marching orders are sounded
the leader swings out and keeps up a
hot pace Once in sight of a supposed
enemy pile of snow is quickly scoop
ed up. and. ensconced behind this SIM
pie but effective protection, the ski man
can take pot shots at the foe
During some recent maneuvers in
which 100000 infantrymen participate
the value of skis as an adjunct in war
fare was clearly demonstrated. Over
roads piled SO high with snow that cav
airy would have been unable to make
any progress whatever the infantry
mounted on their skis. covered from
twenty to thirty miles an hour without
mishap of any kind OF course it
would be practically impossible in most
instances for the artillery with their
heavy guns to follow the infantry over
the snow clad roads and passes. but
for skirmishing and scouting ski rum

ALL MARRY ON SAME DAY.
Strange Custom Observed by Fisher
Folk of a Breton City.


In the city of Plougastel. in Brit
tany. France. all marriages take place
on one and the same day. The men
are all fishermen, many of them going
as far as the Newfoundland banks, and
are at home only during few months
in the winter One day in early Feb
ruary is set apart for the weddings.
Little counting is done. but much hag-
Cling over the dowries of the girls.
They have to bring a certain quantity
of linen, chickens, pigs and vegetables.
Frequently a match is broken off be-
cause a girls father refuses to add a
sack of potatoes to the dowry.
On the day set all the inhabitants Of
the region go to Plougastel. The popu-
lation goes to church to hear mass, to
take communion and to witness the
wedding ceremonies. Often fifty or
more couples are united on the same
day. Bride and groom do not walk to-
gether until the ceremony has been
completed For the rest of this and
the whole of the next day every house
is open to receive guests and to provide
food and drink for them. On the even
ing of the second day the young men
carry the dowries of the brides to the
houses of the croomS. There they
dance and frolic until early morning
and. after they leave. the couple are
for the first time together and alone.
During the remainder of the year no
marriage are concluded. Leshe's
