She went through shop after shop,

She was just leaving a large de-

Bile of cut glass in the center aisle.
Carrie had so many small pieces of
glass, celery and small berry dishes.
! She had heard her say the only two
pieces Of cut glass she wanted were
a punch bowl and large pitcher. And
the thought of either at $500 was abb
surd.
She was about to pass on when she
saw in the middle of the table a pitch

ey MABEL HERBERT URNER.

~ OR days Helen had been Wor-
- rying over the difficulty of
getting Christmas presents
for all his people and all her
own with a very limited sum of mon
ey.
Warren had intimated that they
would not spend very much this Christ
mas. The coming of the baby had been
such a drain on their finances that he
thought a very simple and inexpensive
remembrance would be all that would
be expected from them this year.
But with two families TO be remem-
bered--even very simple gifts would
count up to an astonishing amount.
In some ways Helen was a very sys-
tematic little person, And now she
went about her Christmas shopping
in a most admirably methodical way.
She bought a note book and ruled
the pages into three columns. In the
first column she made a careful list Of
everyone for whom she was to buy a
present In the second column she
noted down several articles she
thought most appropriate for that per
son and the outside price she could
pay. In the third column she put down
the article finally bought with the ex-
act price paid
So a glance through her note book
showed her instantly what she had
already bought and what she had still
to buy--the amount she had spent and
the amount she had still to spend.
His people came first, for it was
n OF
her family than for his. So far she had
bought only a few presents and the
first page of her notebook looked
something like this:
Name--Mr. Curtis (his father.
Articles Suitable-Umbrella, or Mil
itary Hair Brushes or Wallet mono
grammed-$8.0
Name-Mrs Curtis (his mother).
Articles Suitable-Work Table, or
handbag or candle-sticks-$S.0
Carrie-(his married sister,.
Kimono or drop light-$5.00.
Lawrence Carries husband)-
Smoking set-$3.00.
Jimmy, Roy, Annabella-Carrie's
children-Toys lin alD-$300.
Fire engine 75c.
Dolls fur, set $125.
Robert (his older brother) Tie
holder or shaving cup and brush or bill
fold, $500; tie holder, 1925.
Frank (his younger brother) Bath
robe or cuff buttons, $500.
Edith (his younger sister-Automo-
bile veil, or pretty neck piece or van
ity bag, $500; vanity bag, $2.9S.
Uncle Joe-Book, $3.50.
Aunt y-Handkerchiefs, $500.
Aunt Fannie-Center piece, $500.
Lizzie (his familys servant)-Lace
collar, $500
So often had she gone over this list
that it was photographed in her mind.
Mrs. Curtis's and Carries presents
worried her most She had particularly
wanted a work table for his mother,
but she could find none she liked for
anything near $500. And if she went
much over her appropriation for any
person, the sum of money Warren had
allowed her for Christmas presents
would not go around. OF course she
could get a handbag or candlesticks
for $500, but she still hoped to find
the table.

And Carrie was so critical. The at

Work of Chemical Engineer.

Great is the debt that the new
south owes to the chemical engineer,
whose contributions are enumerated
by q writer: The utilization Of the
formerly wasted cotton seed in oil
making and the employment of the
pressed hulls as a cattle feed; the
production of glycerin from cotton
seed oil; the use OF the vast clay and
shale beds in brick and tile manufac-
ture; and the opening up Of deposits
OF phosphates and phosphate rock
that yield commercial fertilizers.
Through his experiments and advice
the pine forests formerly destroyed in
obtaining turpentine may now be
saved. while lumber, as it has been
pointed out that turpentine can be
obtained from waste sawdust slabs
and old trees or stumps cut down or
blown down by storms. High grade
oak ties for railroad use may be made
to last longer than before and low
grade lumber (such as loblolly pine)
can be made as efficient as untreated
oak by simply impregnating the tim

HAS A LARGE VOCABULARY
Number Of Words Used by Small
Child VIII Surprise One Who
Is Not a Close Observer.

How many words does the ordinary
child know? Fifty? Wrong. A hun
dred? Wrong again. Five hundred
for a wild guess? A little nearer, but
not much. The truth is that people
underestimate the number of words
their children can speak.
Take q paper and pencil, follow the
child for several days. several weeks
putting down every new word that Ii
uttered. You'll find out some things
that will surprise you. And when the
word Child" is used, 1t does not refer
to boy or girl of seven or eight. but
one Of three.
An investigation recently made by
following child at that age and not
ing every word that was used, showed
that it had memorized LII different
words. They covered practically
everything with which the child came
in contact. and were words the child
had never heard before.
Another investigation Of words used
by children between 1 year and 1s
months old showed that the lowest vo
cabulary that was reported included
the use Of 60 words. The highest was
232 words. From two years on, the
vocabulary of a child increases rapid.
ly. until at three years the average
child has a vocabulary Of at least 1,00o
words.
