A Home-Made Music Box

The old-fashioned child delighted
in making things out of old cigar
boxes, but somehow the modern child
seems to know nothing of the inter
esting playthings that can be con-
trived by so simple q means. The
small boy or girl who loves to make
things" can build very interesting
musical box on the style of either
with an ordinary cigar box and Il
handful OF rubber bands. Take the
cover off the box and drive small
lacks alcng each long side Of the
opening. Put the tacks u little less
than an inch apart. Now stretch a
rubber band over each opposite pair
Of tacks, and across the opening of
the box. The stretched bands will
give forth musical sound when
twanged and they can be tuned to
scale by winding the elastic round
and round the tacks to shorten the
bands.-Trenton Daily State Gazette.

The Resemblance

There was once a very poor man.
who had a wife and lovely daugh
ter, whom he loved dearly. Now,
this man, as L mentioned before, was
very poor, but he was good and
earned every penny honestly by sell
ing newspapers.
What l wish to tell you about hap
pened on q Sunday, when Blanche,
who was the daughter of the poor
man, and her father were on Their
way home from church, Natalie, who
was the best girl friend Blanche had
came running up to her to invite her
for dinner.
After Blanche got permission from
her father to go, the two little girls
walked happily to the home of Ma
tale.
Natalie was the daughter of q very
wealthy man, while Blanche was just
the opposite, and even though she
was, the two loved each other dearly.
1t seemed ike fairyland to Blanche
whenever she was IN Natalie's house
The rich colored rugs, beautiful cut
glass and the highly polished silver
ware, and, last of all, the good food
After dinner the day wore swiftly
away, and Blanche was taken home
in Natalie's automobile. Then when
the liildi SOOu-DJSS were 5dlu DidIlc1lG
talked to her father about the beau
tiful home Natalie had, which, OF
course, he heard whenever Blanche
came from Natalie's house
Finally, after he heard Blanche say
her prayers and kissed her good
night, he did not go to bed as usual,
but waited till the clock struck
twelve. Quietly he shut the door and
made his way to the home of Natalie
Looking around to see that no one
was watching him, he put a ladder
against the house, intending to rob
some of the silver TO buy his little
girl something pretty with, but, alas.
! there, as he gazed IN the window, was
little Natalie saying her prayers, the
very picture of his own little girl.
With one cry, he ran home and
prayed to God, thanking Him fol
keeping him q good man, as he al.

THE HIPS

Peg-tops and panniers, tunes and
ruffies, mark the new skirts and
seem to be growing in favor every
day. Often these hip draperies are
of chiffon or net; the new soft taf-
fetas seem especially suited to pan
niers, as it has just body enough to
require no bones or wire. The flow
cred taffetas are very quaint and
pretty, giving an 1890 effect, which
is Fascinating.
No. 1886 shows an afternoon cos
tune Of plain and figured taffetas.i
The skirt is a peg-top design with
the folds laid. in softly about the

color, with the. side TUNES showing

HINTS AS TO THE
CARE OF THE HAIR

I do not approve of a vigorous
brushing of the hair every night. 1t
is better to massage the scalp with
the ends of the fingers and comb the
hair out afterwards. Use the brush
now and then, but any expert hair
specialist will tell you that too vigor
GUS brushing will injure the fine and
tender roots of the hair and in time
cause it to fall out, says a writer in
the Camden Daily Courier.
Pure and very fresh olive oil or vas
cline we'll rubbed into the scalp be-
fore shampooing will cure a tendency
10 excessive dandruff. It is said that
two ounces of pure castor oil well
shaken together with sixteen ounces
of German cologne and rubbed into
the scalp with the tips of the fingers
will give a softness and brilliancy to
the hair.

When the Lips Are Chapped

If you want to keep your lips soft
and smooth during the winter you
must not wait until they become
cracked, for once they get into a bad
state they are most troublesome to
cure, and it takes a long time before
they can be restored to their original
state, says the Camden Daily Cour-
Ter. A little good lip salve should be
applied to them whenever the wealth
er is cold and windy before going into
the air, and a simple inexpensive one
can be made up at home from the
following recipe:
Take lanoline, half drachm; sper-
maceti half a drachm; and white
wax, half a drachm. Melt these to-
gether, then heat and add one ounce
of oil of sweet almonds. Beat all to-
gether until a thin cream is formed,
then place in pomade pots to harden.
If a colored lip-salve is preferred,
few grains of pure carmine may be
beaten into the cream.

Gray Hair at Twenty
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear Miss Doom:
Could you advise me about my
hair? l am a girl of twenty, and
have quite q few gray hairs, and I
don't think / should have any. My
scalp itches all the time. Hoping
to see your answer in the Evening
Star, l am, HELEN OBJ.
Age signifies little or nothing
where gray hair is concerned. Some
very old people have no gray hairs.
While others have many when very
young. Persistent massage will
loosen the scalp and promote the
circulation of the blood of the scalp
as well as stimulate the flow of the
natural oils.
Here is u recipe for sage tea,
which is said to darken gray hairs
in time, as well as strengthen tho
hair:
Green sage Qast crop), two
ounces; green tea, two ounces. Put
tea and sage into an iron pot, pour
three quarts of boiling water over
them and set over a slow fire. Let
simmer until the quantity Is reduced
to two quarts. Then take from the
fire. Leave the mixture in the ket-
tie for tWenty-four hours. Apply
the lotion with sponge at night.
Brush your hair thoroughly every
night, using at least hundred firm
strokes.

another, a thrilling tale preferred,
of course.

How Irving Spent His Dime

1t had been showing all night, and
in the morning when Irving awoke
the snow lay thick on the ground.
He could hardly wait till breakfast
was over, as he wished to go coast
ing.
Clinton Hill was full of lively
youngsters, boys who were throwing
snowballs, boys who were sliding on
the ice and boys who were coasting.
What luck!" exclaimed Irving, as
he picked up a bright new ten-cent
piece, which was lying In the snow.
"GuessI'l get some candy" he said.
When he reached the store, however,
he changed his mind and spent his
ten cents on valentine, which he
sent to poor little lame girl who
never received one before.
Now, my little readers, don't you
think Irving did kind thing? It
only takes a little kindness to bring
happiness.

KILLARNEY.
By Killarney's lakes and fells,
Em'rald isles and winding bays,
Mountain paths and woodland dells,
Mem'ry ever fondly strays.
Bounteous nature loves all lands.
Beauty wanders everywhere.
Footprints leaves on many strands,
But her home is surely there!
Angels fold their wings and rest
In that Eden of the West,
Beautys home. Killarney.
Ever fair Killarney.
Innisfallen's ruined shrine
MAY suggest a passing sign;
But mans faith can ne'er decline
Such Gods wonders floating by
Castle Tough and Glenabay;
Mountain Tore and Eagles Nest;
Still at Mucross you must pray
Tho the monks are now at rest.
Angels wonder not that man
There would fam prolong life's
span,
Beauty's home. Killarney,
Even fair Killarney.
No place else can charm the eye
With such bright and varied tints,
Ev'ry rock that you pass by,
Verdure broiders or besprints.
Virgin there the grass green grows,
Ev'ry morn springs natal day,
Bright hued berries daft the SHOWS,
Smiling winters frown away.
Angels often pausing there,
Doubt If Eden were more fair.
Beauty's home, Killarney,
Even fair Killarney.
Music there for echo dwells,
Makes each sound a harmony;
Many voic'd the chorus swells,
TILL it faints in ecstacy.
With the charnful tints below,
Seems the heav'n above to vie,
All rich colors that we know
Tinge the cloud-wreaths' in that
sky.
Wings of angels so might shine,
CHANGING back soft light divine,
Beauty's home, Killarney,
Ever fair Killarney.
