- Tonight 1 a going to tell % about the brothers Grimm, who
4 wrote N of the most delightful fairy stories ever known.
1.-THE elder brUher vas named Jacob Ludwig and the other. who
IA u year younger, WINS called Wilhelm Carl
Their father al a poor official and when they were born he had a posi-
ton in aanau. a town IN the weshrn part of Germany, IN the river Main, near
the famousc city o. Frankfort A| Nv
when the elder of the two little boys was just eleven years, old tHIr ruHef
died. and they became quite poor, but they we're so clever and such miabls
lads that every II was glad Ito help them get the education they were SO n
ious to have. They were very fond o books, and their delight n hearing q
good STORY wasq quite Il great as yours, my children,
Not only we're III boys fond of books, but they were fond Of nature.
Wilhelm, the younger o thu two. vas a gentle lad, but he was nt verys strong.
The long walks that the two boys took In the country for their health taught
them to Know M love thu wild birds, thu pretty flowers and the tlu ees
Sometimes when they we're tired they would sit down to rest N the bench at
the door of some poor forest woodcuter or charcoal burner. If there al an
old man or old woman living there they would ask for a story. The two boys
In tMsw a picked u p a wonderfuls tore of old German tales.
when the boys were through college both of them became teachers. 30
fond we're they Of n another tina they could not bear to be apart They
shared the same room, the same books, n the money that they made they
used in common.
"An their lives they were Interested in studying the reason Of things They
studied the German language to find ot where its words can from ad why
people usd them Is they did. They wrote learned books about this and many
other subjects
Jacob married, and Wilhelm car to live with him, and one day as they
talked the idea came to them to write u the old fairy tales which they had
picked up at so many a humble Preside and cottage door They wrote them
together, as they did everything, and the books were published between the
years 1872 and 1915. To each tale thu learned brothers put a little note x
planning it for the benefit of wise men. But the little children got hold of the
books and loved them and made them their own. The Grimm brothers be-
came famous, and Ito this day they are better known Tor their delightful fairy
stories than for the wise books which they wrote for grown folks. Hansei

A DISH OF MUTTON,

Mutton Ii a meat which Is not used
as much in this country as In Eng
land. Perhaps n eason Is because
1t Ia not always to be bought, and N
other, we do not know how to cook it
as do the cooks of the British isles.
AS Thackery says, a smoking, juicy
piece Of mutton. nc better meat can
there be.
Mutton With Carrots and Peas
Have a piece Of mutton cut from the
shoulder, three or four pounds, &C
cording to the size of the family to
be served. Cook it In simmering wa
ter until nearly done, then add a half
dozen carrots cut in matchlike strips.
When these are tender. add a can Of
green peas and serve the meat with
the carrots and YEAS around 1t.
Cold roast or boiled mutton makes
good hash. Season with pepper, salt
and q few chopped capers or our
pickles.
Mutton chops served In the follow
ing manner are not common: Dip the
seasoned chops In melted butter. then
in dry bread crumbs and broil eight
to ten minutes.

NECKBANDS OF RIBBON
NEGOTIATED WITH MOCK JEWELS,
THEY ARE MOST EFFECTIVE.
with Cheap but Carefully Selected
Stones a Perfect Imitation of tho
More Costly Ornaments May
Well Be Achieved.

( Neckbands of velvet ribbon on
which are sewed rhinestones, crystal
or let beads are easily.made and very
effective. .
The popular width for neck velvets
this season Is an inch or a trifie more
and where the rhinestones are sewed
on to simulate slides the inner side of
the velvet ribbon Is stiffened slightly
with q piece of satin covered collar
bone. In making such a neckband
measure off an inch and a half on each
side of the front and at this point sew
q closely set row Of tiny brilliants,
which cost as little as ten cents a doz-
en-. So placed and well stifened IN
derneath these simulate the jeweled
slides Of the more expensive neck
bands.
This leaves q center space Of three
inches for special decoration. A good
way Is to festoon, from one upright
to the other, three or four strings
of small beads, letting the lower string
droop below the line of the velvet
band. Another easy decoration Is to
use a single string of beads for the
the festoon and in the middle attach
q small pendant. A single pear shaped
mock pearl Is good for this purpose
and SO are many Of the inexpensive
pendants of mock jewels.
Hand made pendants are easily
fashioned by covering with black vel
vet two circles Of cardboard Of about
the thickness Of q visiting card. Sew
them together with a neat over and
over stitch, drawing the sewing silk
tight enough to sink into the pile
of the wet. II pearl beads have
been used for the neckband sew small
pearls at intervals around this velvet
circle, threading the beads SO that
they shall lie out from the circle like
a little frame. Have a center formed
of a jet OF pearl cabochon with three
or more r~adiating lines of small beads,
Such a finish for a velvet neckband
may be varied almost indefinitely and
the size may range up to the dimen.
sions of the popular enamel lockets.
Even with a neckband OF black the
pendant may be of any bright color
with an enctrcling row of jet beads
and a center ornament Of jet and
trhinestones.
Neckbands Of folded black malines
ARE a novelty and are easily made
along the same lines as the band o.
velvet except that the rhinestones o.
pearls used to simulate slides should
be sewed to a background of the mar
Irowest Of satin or velvet ribbon ant
the necessary boning placed On thu
inner side.

VALUABLE SCRAP BOOK
THAT ALWAYS USEFUL cOLIEc-
TON OF CLIPPINGS.
May Be Very Easily Made at Home
Appropriate Classification VIII
Save Time When Special REQ
fpe 10 Called For.

There are several ways to keep
clippings. but the simplest for the Az
erage housekeeper Is to put them In
books under appropriate headings.
Buy a large blank book OF make one
from heavy yellow paper, which can
be bought by the Wholesale, cut in
any desired size. A little broader
than the ordinary magazine is a con-
ventent size to handle.
Cut the pages for thumb indexing,
but instead Of having letters repre-
sent the index make the spaces q lit
tie broader and put department heads.
Thus for a recipe book have the differ
ent groups alphabetically arranged,
as Aspics. Broths, Biscuits, Cakes,
Custards. Drinks and so on In as
many divisions AZ may be convenient.
1t will be not only cheaper, but
more satisfactory to make the book
and bind 1t between cardboard covers.
These should be punched with three
or four holes and covered with either
crash o. a thin oilcloth that is easily
kept clean.
At small cost the paper can be
punched with similar holes, and the
pages a be tied into the v In
this way new pages can be added to
each division as is necessary.
Instead Of making a conglonerate
book, It Is well to start several. One
on household hints. house furnishing.
laundry notes and cleaning recipes
would prove a boon in every home. In
such a book one Of the divisions
could be classified advertisements that
most women think they will test some
time, but never can remember where
they are TO be found when wanted.
Another book on health and beauty
clippings, care OF the sick and nurs
Ing notes will prove useful. while nc
gardener who has ever had a CLASH
fed collection Of good garden clip

with It.
