Superfluous Hair

you, but picked up courage at last.

From the tango garter it is only a

The Adventures of Alice

alice, where are you going?" asked
Mrs. Littleton of her nineteen year
old daughter.
Into the woods, mother, to pick
some flowers for daddy and she
was very sad, because there was a
mortgage on the house of $1,000 and
they could not pay it, While walking
along she stepped on newspaper
She picked it up, and while looking at
it her gaze fell on the following:
"Wanted-A young girl as an
artists model. Inquire 43 Broadway,
New York"
Alice's face lighted up as she read
the words, and she resolved to try her
luck. She ran home and told her
mother of the plan, but her mother
said it was too dangerous q journey
for so young a girl as Alice. Having
made up her mind about it, Alice was
determined to go. So, going over to
her father, she said: Father, | just
read an advertisement, asking for an
artists model, and with your permis-
sion l want to go. Will you let me?
l am sure the wages will help pay
the mortgage"
"Well, Alice, you came upon me 50
suddenly | am not ready to give you
an answer, but If you wait until to-
morrow morning my answer Will ba
either yes or no." replied her father.
When Alice was in bed that night
her mother and father talked the mat
ter over and decided to let her go,
providing she wrote a letter every
day When Alice came down the next
morning her father said: Alice, your
mother and I will let you go on one
condition-that you write us letter
every day. While you are in New
York try and find your brother Jack.
He ran away when he was twelve
years old. He must be twenty six.
Yes, he is" said her father.
Eyes, father, I will try to do my
best in finding Jack and earning
money" and for the first time in her
life Alice went away from home. She
arrived at the studio hungry ano
tired She knocked at the door anC
man of about twenty-six opened
the door. What is it you wish?' hC
asked
IT have come in answer to your adj
vertisement. Do you think / will be
satisfactory" asked Alice.
"Well, l don't know. I'll have tc
see. Won't you come inside?" hc
asked
Certainly" she replied, and walked
into the studio.
What is your name. Where dc
you liver" he asked.
my name is Alice Littleton, and

Alice. ------------------.

sooner ended
After several months of hard work
the picture was accomplished. Jack
took his sister with him when the pic
ture was sold. He received $1,000 for
il. Alice was very happy and wrote
the following letter to her parents;
''43 Broadway, New York City, MY.
Dear Mother and Father:

finished, and / am coming home with
the money for the mortgage. Please

A few days later Alice and Jack
alighted from the train, stepped into

hill Alice's parents recognized their
son Jack, and received both Alice and
Jack with open arms. Thus the fam

are the numerous milk sherbets, froz-

milk for long time in a slow oven,

day we hear whispers that long Rus

Of ALI no doubt, it is the fact of their

so strongly.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese contains all the pro-
teids Of milk an, part of the fat. 1t
is made either by heating the curd
slightly and straining or by strain
ing without heating. If any heat ~
used it should be very gentle - the
curd will become hard and GspaIata-
BILE A safe way of heating it is to
pour boiling water into the curd. This
is q good way also for those who do
not care for the taste of Tactic acid,
for the hot water serves to remove
part of this.
Cottage cheese would probably be
a more popular dish If it were served
in a greater variety of ways, says the
Mothers Magazine. For many pal
ates it needs to be enriched with a
little butter or cream. The French
variety, to which reference was made
is commonly served with sugar and
cream, and a similar dish, sometimes
seasoned with a little nutmeg, is
eaten in the United States.
Cottage cheese is always a suitable
addition to or accompaniment of SAL

served in one course consists of cot

Treatment of Corns

Dear Miss Doom.
Kindly let me know if you know
of anything that will remove hard
eorns. Thanking you in advance, l
remain,
A READER OF THE EVENING
STAR.
A physician recommends the fol-
lowing:
Place a corn plaster over the corn,
and In the hollow centre put a drop
of saturated solution OF caustic
soda. A piece of plaster is then put
over the hole. Each day remove the
cover and put in another drop of the
caustic soda. In eight or ten days
the corn is said to be gone.
In. using this the utmost care is
required, for the solution burns ten
der flesh badly. 1t is poison If
taken internally. There are many
corn cures" on the market that are
said to be excellent.

down of skirts and brushing back

they tell really, truly ghost

house that stood on a lonely road,
without another house near it. Peo-
pie hadn't lived in it for years and
years. The paint was peeling Off,

sternly.

The Hunter and His Eagle

In a far-away country there once
lived a hunter and his eagle. This
eagle was his only companion. He
loved it very much. One day the
hunter had to go on a long journey.
He did not know where to leave the
eagle so he took it with him.
On his way he grew tired and
hungry, So he sat down under tree
to rest. The eagle was flying around
him, but the hunter did not happen
to know it. He took his gun to shoot
at a blackbird, but by a mistake he
shot his beloved eagle.
The hunter ran over to see If tire
bird was dead, but when he came
to that spot he saw that it was the
eagle he shot instead of the black
bird. The hunter took his dead
eagle home and buried it in the
back yard. Even to this day the
hunter has not forgotten the eagle
he shot.
