FATHERS mrHDAY SURPRISE
1By VIrginia ya1e.1

1By Virginia Va1e.1 Once upon a time there were three children. Frank, Robert, and Carrie. One day Frank said: Mother, two weeks from today is fathers birthday. How are we going to surprise him this year ?'' Mother thought a minute and then said: -.I heard father say the other day that he wished it was time for strawberries as he would like a nice strawberry shortcake. Why not give him that as his surprise 2.
 The children thought that was just the thing and began to plan how they could earn the money. Mother said she would give Carrie ten cents if she would sweep off the porch and walk each morning for two weeks and Car rie thought that would be fun instead Of work Robert said he was going to ask the grocer if he could help with the bundles and perhaps when it was time to get the berries he might give them to him little cheaper. Frank thought a long time but couIdn't decide what to do, but his mother told him not to worry as he would think of something and there was plenty of time.
 The next morning they heard Frank shouting Hurry! Hurry! I've got it. I've got itt I will make popcorn balls and sell taem.,s
 The children were busy the next two weeks t1F0Tk11l8 dS 417EQs as they COu10 and so excited that father wanted to know what it was all about. At last the day came The children kissed father as many times as he was years old and two extra for good luck and he promised he would be home early. How they laughed and danced around mother and she was as pleased as the others. Robert brought home the strawberries the grocer gave him on his way from school The grocer had given the very best basket and said You have been great help to me and am going to let you have these Robert. you see. had told the man that they were. for fathers birthday.
 Carrie huIled them and mother made tho cake. and wasn't it a beauty all covered with thick cream and big red berries dotted over all
 The children couldn't eat. they were so excited and when father said: Now what have we for dessert 2' they couldn't stand it any longer and shout ed and danced around father crying: Its your birthday and here is the surprise
 When he saw the shortcake he was as pleased as the children and cut them each atgreat big piece
 Father said that was the best sur prise he had had for a long time. The children each told him how they had earned the money and father thought he had some of the incest children and think he was right, don't you :?

BEAUTY CHATS
THOSE FAITHFUL
 SERVANTS, OUR FLEET
By Blanche Beacon.

There is no other exercise which does for us what walking can. Be- sides stimulating every part of the body, it occupies and diverts the mind.
 To reap the greatest benefit from the exercise of walking we must be properly clothed and give careful att tention to those faithful servants our feet.'' A short gown is, of course, indispensable, for the arms and hands must not be constrained by holding up a long gown and refinement as well as hygiene forbids that 1t shall drag.
 < And above all, wear comfortable shoe; not a hee11ess shoe, for the most scientific shoe dealers insist that 3 heelless shoe breaks down the arch of the foot and broken arch means untold suffering.
 Some one has said: eff properly Ehod. there is no reason why women should ever be reminded that they have feet. Feet are no more liable to disease than are the hands and if as well treated they would give us correspondingly as good serviee.''
 But even though the normal foot is exempt from weakness or disease, women so abuse their feet that they bring upon themselves all kindsS of petty. nagg1ng misery that unfit them An aggravated, fully developed corn is a horrible menace to happine es5 and usefulness.
 Corns are merely extreme forms of ca11osfties. and their so-called roots exist only in the minds of the unirn- formed and of the charlatans who pretend to extract them. Abnormal pressure hardens the scarf-skfn into horny layer, and nature to protect herself adds layer upon layer beneath it. spreading from common point of contact, which pressing upon the nerves Of the true skin, causes real torture Today we will speak of the ca11osftfes and another time of a treat meut for corns-

Women Are Not Jealous Of Her


 The single men may admire her to their hearts content. Single girls look on complacently, knowing they have nothing to fear. She has a hus- band. and is never in want of an es- cort.
 She is well equipped to look after the love afrairs of her single sisters. She can get up unique little affairs to bring the single folks together. The. young men follow her advice in selecting a sweetheart Her encour- agen1ent makes or breaks off many a match.
 If a woman has a husband, she ought to be able to do a great deal Of good for her sister women. It should never be said Of her by her frienG.5 she has a splendid husband, !, yet she never helps any of her ac- uuaintances to get good husbands 2 She who is happily welded shouldn't Insult the intelligence of her young women friends by declaring that there's any amount of single men her husband knows, but there isn't one among the lot she'd care to introduce an intimate girl friend to.
 She has a ready answer if this one or that one is mentioned, declaring this one couldn't support a wife, that one doesn't want only q wealthy girl who had an induIgent liberal father.
 Another wouldn't marry any ore but an orphan, he has a fear Of "a mother-in-1aw- It's rather discourag- ing to single women to hear the wo- man who has a husband pile up ob- jections to get out of helping others to happiness.

 Dear Miss Lfbbey:
 There Is a great deal Of truth In the words that those who wed in haste repent at leisure married a girl on is extravagant, has q nasty temper, won't keep house because she would have to do the work She is jealous demands my pay envelope and makes my life miserable wish could undo those moments at the altar and be happy, carelfree fellow again. T am at my wits' end as what to do- Please advise.
 H.B Now that you are married, try to make the best of everything. There are women who. can be coaxed, not driven. You can surely win out by love and kindness when she thought enough of you to wed you. Many a lsoor beginning has fine ending. Don't try to discover faults in her, blind your eyes to them.

What Respect Men Have for Work
 ing Girls.

Dear Miss Libbey:
 am a young woman employed in a large store On my way home each evening lately a man has passed me who lifts his hat and bows, srni1ingly Do you think 1t possible that he has mistaken me for some lady whom he knows? I returned his bow because I did not know just what to do. Last evening met him. He had 3. lady with him It was a street seldom go on. He did not bow. | was not sure if he saw me or not.
 EDNA NO young woman should respond to the sa1utation of a man who is a stranger to her. The fellow was i'm pertinent, but could not have contin- ued had you resented it and looked in the opposite direction. The lady was probably his wife. He saw you, bu. did not notice you. Take your cue sroFn him hereafter. Men generally honor working girl. who respects berself.
