IVY HAT, Mother. is precociousnessi
w It is that quick brain quality
in a child which pleases its
mother in every instance except when
the child makes the discovery that
there is no Santa Claus.
What. Mother. is the proper thing to
do when one receives a gift for Christ
mas which one does not want?
On such an occasion, Little One. the
recipient should be very ELUSIVE in
gratitude for Just what she wanted"
and then when she has satisfied the
spirit of obligation she should put the
present away very carefully to give
as a prize at some future card party.

I do not understand, Mother, dear.
Then let me explain. One on Christ

one owes for gifts that were bought,
and must acquire an expression of
pure delight. One should SO fix ones
face that If one expected sealskin

GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY

The late Mayor Gaynor was one
day censuring a hypocrite.
"Hypocrites," he said. whether
they are correcting the social evil or
starving factory girls. always give
themselves away. They remind me
of a tramp.
"The gentleman who ran into this
tramp had gone out or an all day
fishing trip, taking his lunch with
him. When he reached the riverside
he discovered that he had dropped his
lunch somewhere on the way, and so
he hurreid back to look for it.
After a while he met a fat, healthy
tramp. who stroiled along sucking
a toothpick and looking very well
pleased with life.
did you pick up anything on the
road as you came along7" the gentle
man asked.
mo, sir: not me boss said the
tramp. I don't pick up nothin'
Couldn't a dog have found 1t and ct

<<THERE was a fellow tried to

foreigner. and his work was awful
coarse. but he was one of them kind

collared. but I suppose 1 am too gen.
tie natured for that. SO I let him go
on his way"

Eyes. but all men amt true gents

gent amt been off the hard stuff for
a good many years, and he chums
with some. copper lined old FOUNDERS.
.but when it comes to the woman
question he's got enough of that chiv-

contests since that time he has kept
them to himself:

to ask her to let me bring Kitty-Miss
May-to see her.
He walked back to the table and
took a "bracer" of whisky.
Dick ended his playing with a dis
cord. He swung round on the piano
stool with the reflection that it was
time some one had "bracer."

lodged somewhere in an odd corner of

And out of this idea-this tiny seed
of the knowledge of Ken's helpless
ness in the hands of Dicks own gang
grew the little suggestion that led to
ken's final agony. Salvation or de-
struction waited In the balance. be-
cause Dick lie Roy suddenly knew
that the kid was white"
But this is what Ken was saying
You car understand how anxious

SO alone in the world. living in a
Bohemian atmosphere. I am sure that
mother will understand and l want
every respect that / would show to a
girl in my own set--and that

Dick turned to the piano to hide
his laughter.
Don't! If you was to take any
advantage Of Kitty-heaven knows
what I'd do! Say, got new song
it listens greatr'
He began playing the refrain of a
popular song.
"She is so good! So pure.' went
on Ken in a lovers frenzy of praise.
'Poor?" queried Dick.
"Pure" corrected Ken.
"Oh! It's got a swell chorus. It
ought to be a riot. Get it?" cried
Dick, bursting into melody to drown
his mixed emotions.
SOME GOOD ADVICE
She's so brave!'' went on Kitty's
adorer
Dick was seemingly absorbed in the
song.
"It's darned good song:"
Kenneth sighed.
Il must go to my mother now
Dick arose in some alarm.
Take a tip from an older guy
don't spill all you know about Kitty
to her.
But Ken knew so pitifully little!
He spoke with pride.
You don't know my mother
Dick might have answered, mo.

What he did say was: mo. but

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS

A mans coat should be laid perfect
~. fiat, with the wrong side down. The
sleeves should be spread out smoothly,
and then folded back to the elbow
until each end of the sleeve is even
with the collar. Fold the revers back
and then double the coat over, foldin 6
it directly in the center seam and
smoothing it out carefully.
If there is any difficulty in turnin &
out a hot pudding. wrap cloth
around it that has been wrung out in
cold water for minute pr two. and
the pudding will slip out quite easily.
For jellies and cold buildings let the
cloth be wrung out in hot water
If sponges are to be kept in good
condition they should not be allowed
to lie in soapy water. The soap should
be rinsed out of them at once after
use. Whenever possible sponges
should be hung up to air, and not be
left lying in a damp condition.
Old nail holes in wood may be filed
up by mixing sawdust with glue till
1t is the consistency of stif paste.
Press this compound into the holes,
and 1T will become as hard az the
wood fSself
One teaspoonful of vinegar is a sub
stitute for an. egg. and makes cake
light in which dripping has been used,
instead of butter.
