How Housewives May
Care for Their Hands

The skin of the hands is apt to be-
come dry and red, and the nails
brittle from exposure to wind and
weather and from the many dusty
duties" that come in the days work
of the average home-maker. Gloves
for homework are apt to be scorned
and looked upon as an affectation,
but this is fallacy.
Homework. or the many things a
housewife dips her hands into. often
ruins the texture of the finest skin.
A large pair of white cotton gloves
should be drawn over the hands at
night after massage with cream to
keep the hands soft with the cream
and to prevent the cream from soil
ing the bed clothes, says the Camden
Daily Courier.
Cotton gloves cost only ten and if
teen cents a pair, and their use will
effect wonders in the condition of the
hands and nails. Rubber gloves for
use when the hands are dipped into
greasy water can be bought for thir-
ty-five cents a pair and the fact that
surgeons use them in handling any
matter under inspection proves that
they do not cucumber the action of
the hands in any way.

The Magic Pencil

On the outskirts of dreary woods
there was a thriving village named
Harlem. On one of the streets there
stood a somewhat old-fashioned
house. The occupants of this house
were Mr.. Morse, Mrs. Morse and their
invalid daughter Mary.
Little Mary was but three years
old, when while riding in carriage
fell. Her back was broken and she
became an invalid.
Mary was now five years old. Her
parents had done everything posi-
BILE for her, yet she remained sad.
Such dolls and pretty toys she had,
yet she did not care for them.
One day Mr.. Morse decided to see
about his mines. Mr.. Morse went
with his wife and daughter in a car
riage. One miner had a sister named
Florence. When Mr.. Morse and his
family arrived Mrs. Morse and Mary
stayed in the sitting room. Mrs.
Morse being tired decided to rest and
leave Mary in Florence's care. When
they were all ready to go home Mary
carried a small parcel. When they
arrived home Mary cut the string of
the parcel. There lay one dozen PEN
ellis and white paper. Taking a red
pencil she drew a horse. but she was
not dull now but very happy.
Her parents watched her in aston
ishment. They now saw her talent.
An artist was engaged at once and
the child progressed daily. To finish
working to be an artist Mary was to
go to Europe.
Mary has now finished studying.
While abroad a famous physician
cured her, so she is no longer an in
valid. Mary is now a famous artist
and her best friend is Florence. She
is very thankful to Florence for Civ
ing her those colored pencils. She
calls them the magic pencils.

The Honest Boy

A poor boy once was walking In the
street. His name was Ted. Looking
down he saw a huge wallet lying on
the sidewalk. He picked it up and
found it was full of money. He found
a card in the pocketbook and went TO
the address given on the card in the
pocketbook. He soon was in front Of
a nice house and went in. He told
his story and gave the owner the wal
let. The man thanked him and gave
him half of the money for his hon
esty and told him to come in the
morning and he would give him
position in his factory. Ted ran
home overjoyed and told his mother
of his good fortune.

LONG-WAISTED BODICES
ARE COMING IN AGAIN

The longwaisted bodice, taken from
the cuirass or the Moyen age idea In
clothes, Is becoming and should be a
great help to the woman with many
summer clothes to make over. II is
long and untitled to the hip-line, and
to this is Joined the ruffied skirt, cut
in two or three sections, says the
Ladies' Home Journal The bodice is
charming in an entirely different ma
terial from the skirt, while the skirt
material or lace may be used for the
sleeves. You will see in the illustra-
ton that the figured material of the
foundation skirt is repeated in the
long. set-in shoulder portions and the
full undersleeyes. In many cases chif-
fon or cobwebby laces are used for
the sleeves, and the untitled, deep
armholed blouse Is totally different in
color and texture from the material
Of the skirt. There have never been
such possibilities for remaking old
clothes into the new styles.

Aubergine is the name of this mod
ish color and it is being used in all
Materials in chiffon for the bodice,
in silk for the afternoon gown and in
serge, gabardine and various other
materials for the tailored suit. Green
is smart too, in all it's shades; also
many tones of red and brown. When
black is used it is usually in taffeta
or one of the other soft silks; black,
however, is employed for trimming
purposes and often affords a striking
contrast combined with one of the
bright colors. Aubergine faille is
used in the afternoon frock shown in
No. 1894; there is an inverted v
shaped vest of cream white batiste,
cream frills finishing neck and sleeves
and drop shoulders. The skirt, which
is a two-gored model, is finished with
an applied tunic, slightly gathered
and set on at yoke depth
Fable averages AZ inches in width
and ranges in price from s1.5o per
yard and up.

Continued from Saturday,

Hank Bushrod's face suddenly fell.
Maybe you wet them in the river,
he stammered, confusedly.
'If 1 had wet them there 1 would
not have walked such a long distance
before drying them" said Tommy.
II would have built a fire on the
beach, where 1t is permitted and dried
them there"
Why, of course you would put in
his grandmother. mo one here be-
lleves you are a fool, Tommy.
why have you come here to lie
about me. Hank?'' went on the boy,
Indignantly. rs it because YOU wish
to hide your own guilt
What do you meant" retorted
Hank. turning suddenly pale.
81 mean you spoke the truth when
YOU said you met me in the pine
woods. You were smoking cigarettes
there and throwing the lighted butts
on the ground. l called you TO ac-
count for it and you left me in anger
1t is you who set the woods af1re and
you know it,
1T is falsel" cried Hank, huskily.
Il wasn't il the pine woods yester-
day"
Then how could you have seen me
drying my shoes and stockings before
a fire there?" shouted Tommy.
Realizing that he had entangled
himself in a hopeless contradiction
Hank bolted through the door
His defeat turned the tide OF popu-
lar opinion in Tommy's favor. Sus-
picion was still strong against him,
but there was no positive proof, and
so il was decided not TO prefer charges
against him, but to drop the matter
where 1t was.
This was unfortunate. If he had
been brought to trial he might have
cleared his good name. As II was

Wen see wealth beggin' at the gate
while poverty goes in.

Well see wealth beggin' at the gate
while poverty goes in.
1 couldn't hear the sermon, I sat
so far away,
So through the hours of service [
could only watch and pray"
Watch the doin's of the Chr stiana
sitting near me round about,
Pray God to make them pure with
in, as they were pure without.
While I sat there lookin' round
upon the rich and great,
l kept thinking Of the rich man and
the beggar at his gate;
How, by all but dogs forsaken. the
beggar's form grew cold,
And the angels bore his spirit 70
the mansions built OF gold.
How, at last. the rich man persisted.
and his spirit took Its flight,
From purple and fine linen, to the
home Of endless night.
There he learned, as he stood gag-
ing at the beggar In the sky,
TT isn't all Of life to live, nor all
Of death to die"
doubt not there were wealthy
sires in that religious fold
Who went up from their dwelling
Ike the Pharisee of old;
Then returned from their Worship
with head uplifted high,
To spurn the hungry from their
door, with naught to satisfy.
Out, out with such professionals
they are doing more today
To stop the weary sinner from the
gosp-Ps shining way,
Than all the books of infdels, than
all that has been tried,
Since Christ was born at Befhle-
hem. since Christ was cruci-
fed.
How simple are the works Of God,
and yet how very grand.
The shells in ocean caverns, the
flowers on the land;
He gilds the clouds of evening with
the gold right from his throne,
Not for the rich man only, not for
the poor alone.
Then why should man look down
on man, because of lack OF
gold?
Why seat him in the poorest pew
because his clothes are Old?
A heart with noble motives, a heart
that God has blest,
May be beatin' Heavens music
meath that faded coat and vest.
I am old may be childish-but I
love simplicity;
I love to see it shinin' in a Chris
tian's piety.
Jesus told us, in his sermon In
Judea's mountains wild,
He that wants to go to Heaven
must be like a little child
Our heads are CROWN gray, dear
wife, orr hearts are beatius
slow,
In a little while the Master viii
call for US TO go.
When we reach the pearly gate
ways and look IN with Joyful
eyes,
Well see no stylish worship In xhe
temple of the skies.

CHAPTER Nj.
Tommy Is Told About His Mother.

Tommy Is Told About His Mother.
A week had passed.
The forest fire had burned itself
out, and those whose homes had been
destroyed We're either planning to
build new ones or else had scattered
to live with relatives in distant places.
The Deans had gone to their city
house in Portland, and Tommy was
obliged to continue his studies with
out Lucys help.
How he missed those pleasant hours
spent at the bungalow pouring over
his lessons with Lucy or listening TO
her father read. He realized that
such golden afternoons would never
return again, and tried to forget
them by helping his grandparents
with their farm work.
If l cannot be happy myself" he
reflected Il can at least make them
happy
And so he went about the farm
doing his tasks with a cheerfulness
that belied his real feelings. And he
performed many little acts of kind
ness, which greatly pleased the old
people. Their approving smiles en-
couraged him and helped him bear
his loneliness.
Home is a place where a boy should
appear at his best. The boy who is
rude and boorish at home and polite
only when abroad will never be really
courteous to strangers. There is no
better training for healthy and pleas
ant intercourse with the outer world
than a bright and cheerful behavior
at home. For 1t is in a boys home
that his real character is seen. As he
appears there. so he is really else
where, however skillfully he may for
the time conceal his true nature.
