shocked our dignified hostess by ask
ing her if he might take away from
the table a plate of hot biscuits. Now,
those biscuits were a. bit underdone
the kind that cook calls soggy,
That is the reason so many were left
on the plate.
All of us children feeling sure that
our Frenchman friend-he was a
count-had some fun in store for us,
followed him gayly into the long,
wide hall as he went bearing the plate
of biscuits.
Now, mes enfants," he said-that
was what he called us youngsters
take a biscuit and do as l do"
He began taking the crust from the
biscuit and making the soft inside
part into round balls little less
than an inch in diameter. AS soon
as a ball was nicely rounded he be-
gan molding it into a six-pointed star,
something like blackstone"
"These are dough devils, mes en-
fants," he said. Now, see what l
can do with them"
With that he began throwing the
dough devils at the walls and the
doors. He threw them hard, and we
expected to see the devils" break in
pieces. But they merely bounded off
and dropped to the floor without hav-
ing their shape injured at all.
We thought there must be some
trick about the way in which the
count threw the dough devils" and
would not be convinced until we
threw our own and found that We
could not break them, however hard
we threw them, as long as they re-
manned warm.
1t was great sport throwing them
and even our hostess finally took part
in it. After that, whenever hot

Nine tables filled with bric-a-brac
gave the finishing touchl-and OUT
side the windows were beautiful
plants and a lawn radiant with rich
fall foliage which we might have en-
joyed instead of such interior deco
ration"
My own little living room has but
two small windows, but the room is
flooded with light; its walls are plain,
it's only pictures a few simple copies
of the great masterpieces; but when

a silent prayer of thanksgiving that
the things which really give freedom

within reach of us all.

IF Your Neck's Too Slim

Practise deep breathing every morn
ing before an open window clad in a
loose gown. Stand erect, rise slowly
on the toes and inhale deeply
through the nose at the same time,
then hold the breath a moment, drop
back quickly on the heels and exhale
quickly through the mouth. Repeat
ten times. Plenty of peas, beans,
bread. corn, eggs and milk are neces-
sary to gain flesh.

The Little Green Leaf from the


Bible
Dear Miss Doom:
Here are the words OF THE Lit
tie Green Leaf from the Bible"
which Marie L. is anxious to re-
ceive. 1 hope they will satisfy you
both. JULIA c.
1t is Sunday evening, children,
The parlor's warm and bright;
Hand down our family Bible,
That dear old guide to right.
To you I'll show my treasure;
Yes, Mary, Nell and Dave.
A little green leaf,
An emblem of grief,
From your loved mothers grave.
Chorus.
The lntle green leaf, dear emblem
of grief.
From the grave of your mother,
my idol;
Oh, guard it with care, her spirit
is there,
With the green leaf from our Bible.
She was called away in springtime;
All nature seemed to smile;
The birds with sweetest music,
My sorrow tried to beguile;
I read the dear old Bible,
"Be meek and you'll be brave,
I plucked the leaf, sweet emblem OF
grief,
From your dear old mothers
grave.
(Chorus.)
When it's withered, old and faded,
And papa's called from here,
Preserve its priceless ashes;
Oh, hold them ever dear,
Through grief and tribulation;
oh try, oh try, to save
This little green leaf,
Sweet emblem of grief,
That came from mothers grave.
(Chorus.)

Brittle Nails. Ink Spots and
Stenographers

My Dear Miss Doom:
Can you furnish a formula for
hardening brittle finger nails and
removing small white spots from
them? What will remove ink spots
from a black and white check wool
en- dress? Who is on the eligible list
for stenographers, Board of Educa-
ton, City Hall?
Thanking you, and wishing you a
very happy New Year, I am, very
truly yours, MARY A. M.
You will find that soaking your
nails in olive oil warmed to blood
heat will remedy the brittle condi-
ton. A few applications will cause
a marked Improvement, but the
treatment must be persisted in until
the nails have become thoroughly
nourished.
White marks on the nails are

WHY WILL PEOPLE SHUT OUT THE BLESSED Two Homes

Why will people shut out the blessed

At an afternoon club meeting held

Dip the blouse in chiffon and let
soak in the fluid for ten minutes.
Then souse up and down and rub the
soiled places gently between the
palms. Rinse in clean gasoline and
hang in the air to dry. Do not use
gasoline In a warm room or near
fire, as 1t is highly inflammable.

The case of one Mexican was re-
ferred to the Supreme Court, and
three others were reprieved until
March 10, 1915. with a recommends
tion to the attorney general of the
state to do what he could do for them
because they were maddened by drink
when they committed their crimes.
The governors action was taken pre-
