Let Children Tell You Stories

Encourage your children to originate
simple verses and stories. It develops
the Imagination and is excellent prep
sration for later English work.
Young children, for whom writing Is
difficult, should not be asked to COM
pose in writing, for the mechanical DIFF
fculties of penmanship interfere with
their thought. Let them tell you the
story, then you IA write 1t down for
them. Very short tales or verses they
may write themselves. after first tell
ing them orally. Here is an original
story by a little girl of 7. Read 1t to
your children and then get them to tell
you a story:
THE PINK PUSSY.
Once there was a little girl who had
a kitten and it was very pretty. She
said, Girls are pretty, but kittens are
prettier. 1 wish 1 could be a pink
pussy"
One night she was in bed and she
looked up and saw a beautiful fairy.
She had on a beautiful dress and had
beautiful wings and a silver wand
with a moon in 1t.
The fairy said, You may be a pink
pussy. but IL you don't like 1t you may
be a little girl again"
Next morning when she woke up she
felt all soft and furry. Her mother
came In and saw a pink kitten in the
girls bed. She was very much an
noyed. She said, "Oh, little daughter,
where are you;' then she heard a
voice which said: Mother, here I
am" Then she told her mother about
the fairy.
One night when she was lying by
the stove she talked to herself: "Oh.
1 don't like to be a pink kitten" Look
ing up she saw the fairy. who said:
you may be a blue kitten"

To Clean White Furs.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dcdr QnlnS OoVus
Will you kindly let me know how to
away for the SUMMED? I had the direc-
tons you published once before but have
mislaid them. Yours respectfully,
Heated flour is the best cleanser Of
white furs. Brush the furs thoroughly
and then cover them with flour that
has been heated thoroughly but not
Drowned. Rub the furs in the flour
asNif you were washing them with
water. Brush the flour out, cover the
furs with fresh heated flour and put
them away in a bandbox for three or
four day At the end of that time
shake the -four out and o will find
that most of the dirt will come with 1t.
If the furs are very badly soiled a
couple of applications of the -four will
be necessary. Heated white corn
meal may be substituted for the heated
flour.
To protect furs from moths dur
ing the summer they must be kept
air-tight or aired in the sun every
week.. Before packing furs away brush
them we'll the wrong way of the fur,
hang them in the sun for two or three
days, brush again and examine them
closely to make sure there r no
moth eggs in the hair. Wrap the
muff and the neckpiece in cloth, put
them in a box that has been aired in
the sun. Wrap thick paper around the
box. tapping the edges and gluing them
together. Put the box in a dry place.
The putting of moth balls in with the
fl1rs is not looked liDOn with favor
nowadays, as it is said the camphor
dries up the oil of the furs and makes
them dull looking.

A CHARMING FROCK OF TAF-
FETA AND LACE.

Both young girls and small women
will find this frock a pretty one. 1t
is made of soft finished taffeta in one
of the beautiful new blues. The trim
ming on the skirt Is of the same and
the panel is of heavy lace, while the
little chemisette is of dotted net. Alto
gether the dress is just al smart and
attractive as can be, yet it is perfectly
simple. The blouse includes the new
set-in sleeves, inc the skirt is made in
three pieces that are Tapped onto the
panel. Made after the manne illus
trated. it is exceedingly handsome,
adapted to informal dinners, to the
theatre and occasions of the kind, but
1t can be treated as shown in the back
view and be made of linen or similar
material and become just a pretty
morning dress. In fact, it would be
very charming made of rose colored or
blue linen, with the panel of white
lace or of all-over embroidery, and the
lower edge of the skirt left plain. AS
will be recognized the model is an ex-
~ceptionally available one. Whether 1t
is elaborate and adapted to occasions
of dress or simple and suitable for
morning wear and hard usage depends
upon the material n the treatment.
The trimming of buttons and simu-
lated buttonholes also is worthy of
note, for such trimming is to be seen
upon the latest and most interesting
models.
For the 16-year size will be required
90 yards of material 81, Az yards SO.
31s yards "A inches wide, with 1 yard

ming and Y yard is for the chemisette
and two yards of additional material

the skirt.

Cucumber and Peroxide Creams,

Dear Miss Doom:
L asked a question two weeks ago and
never received an answer. Is there any
particular way in addressing the letters?
l addressed it to the Evening Star and
your name also and cohld not under
stand why I did not receive an answer.
| asked IL you could give me a good
recipe for a cucumber lotion and how to
make 1t. Also tell me how to make a
peroxide lotion and what to mix with 1t,
as l want to whiten my skin. I will be
very thankful for a good whitener.
Thanking you very much, I am a steady
reader of this paper. MRS. J. s.
1 am sorry 1 did not receive your
letter. You addressed it correctly, but
it must have been mislaid. I think you
will find it more satisfactory to pur-
chase the cucumber and peroxide
lotions than to attempt to make them
yourself. The drug supply stores make
them up in such large quantities that
they can afford to sell them at a low
price. Then, too, the people who make
them are experienced and know how
to obtain the best results. However,
if you prefer to make the creams your
self, here are some highly-recom-
mended recipes:
Cucumber Cream-Carefully wipe W
large or three small cucumbers, and,
without removing the rind, cut them
into blocks about an inch square. Put
six ounces of sweet almond oil into a
double saucepan and fill the outer
saucepan with cold water. Put the
pieces of cucumber into the oil n
heat to the boiling point very slowly.
Move the saucepan back and let the
mixture simmer, not boil, for four or
five hours. Strain. pressing out as
much juice from the cucumbers as
possible. To each six ounces of the
strained liquid add one ounce white
wax and one ounce cocoa butter. Put
the mixture into the saucepan again
and heat, stirring constantly until
thoroughly mixed. Then remove from
the fire and beat gently with an egg
beaten until cold, adding during the
beating two teaspoons simple tincture
of benzoin. Put into jars and cover.
The quantities can be halved IL you
wish to make a smaller amount Of
cream.
Peroxide Cream-Mix petrolatum, one
ounce avoirdupois; lanolin (anhy-
drous), one ounce avoirdupois; hydro
gen peroxide, one fluid ounce; acetic
acid, one fluid dram. Beat the in
gradients until they are thoroughly
mixed.

ferryhoat that would land him at his
home town On the left bank OF the
scheldt. says the New York Sun. He
had been inGulging in schnapps and
fell asleep. John slept only one day,
which shows that the strength Of
schnapps has dete-iorated since Ri7
Van Wrinkles time. He woke up on
the Red star liner Lapland. in the
other day from Antwerp. and asked
somebody when the ferryboat would
get across. Then they told him that
he would land in New York in about
nine days. He said he wondered what
his wife and nine children in Antwerp
would say. He was put to work and
was glad TO get #. He will go back to
the Scheldt by the Lapland, not hav-
ing the slightest desire to camp on
either bank of the Hudson.

-Four ls Their Limit.

A close observer has definitely es-
tablished the fact that magpies and
rocks cannot count further than four.
A rook never returns to its nest un-
til 1t is quite satisfied that there is
no danger near. When four hunters
or less departed in succession from
near by log cabin the rock would
return to its nest after the last had
gone out of sight. But whenever
there were more the bird lost count
and returned to its nest even while
some were still in the hut. Similarly,
apes do not count further than four.
aud the Beers of the Transvaal, when
they want to hunt these animals, hide
in numbers exceeding four. Four de-
part In succession in such manner
as to be noticed by the apes, who
then come forth and are easily cap
tured.

Brown Bread Baker.

Mayor Gaynor was talking to an

writing. 81 like the literary style Of
the average advertisements" he said.
Even when advertisements exagger-
ate, they are written in good style.
The best advertisements don't exag-
gerate; but there are some few adver-
tisement writer's who seem to think
that in their line of work, little ex-
aggeration does no harm. They re-
mind me, in their mistaken views, OF
a miner. The miner was passing a
bakery with friend, and in front Of
the bakery stood a very untldy baker.
Gee said the miners friend, pointing
his pipe at the baker disgustedly-
gee, what a dirty looking chap to be a
baker, eh?' But the miner explained
with smile: 'Oh, that's all right. He's
Just the fellow. you know, that makes
the brown bread"
