1 the left side of the kit frame. which allows a negative glass plate to be iirHiiy held in place. The No. 20 pulp board Is about one-eighth of an inch thick, so will be the right depth for the thickest plates that are used. One sheet of this kind will be sufficient Tor all the outfit, and two sheets of corrugated board, one. yard square, may be purchased at the same time.
 Most boys purchase film cameras, In Which case they will want to make enlargements from their best films. To use films instead of glass negatives It is only necessary to cut a frame from heavy black paper. paste it's shorter edges for about one-eighth an inch to clean glass that will fit the kit A, and after sliding a film between this black paper and its glass, place it in the kit A and this in turn in the back of the camera The inner side (facing reader) of kit A should be painted black with India ink, and the negative or film placed in it should be placed film facing this way, or so it will be facing the inside of the camera when in position for enlarging.
 Now for the blocking up of the window; some do this by lacking sev- eral large sheets of heavy opaque pa- per over the whole window casing, but it Is much better to block up the lower part with corrugated board, and let the curtain and a heavy quilt do service at the upper section.
 The largest corrugated board comes one yard square, so if your window is wider than this buy two sheets of the board and piece out one sheet with a wide strip cut from the other. A smooth board about five feet long and one foot wide will be needed to sup port the boxes for the camera and the paper holder, shown at E. The camera must be raised enough so that

You mean there won't be any toys?" Billy asked suddenly, forget ting that the Dutch dolls didn't know he was there.
 The little father nodded his head. T suppose you're a regular little boy?" he questioned.
 Yes, but why won't we have any toys?" Billy wanted to know.
 Well, you see so many of us are made in the countries of Europe and while they are fighting they don't have time for us," explained the Dutch doll.
 Dear, dear this is terribly serious,' sang the Very Biggest Giant, while he smiled, for of course, even though he thought it sad, he had to try to look all the happier. Isn't there any thing we can do?"
 Yes, there is just one chance for us," the father doll replied. If this little boy here will tell all the boys and girls to wish very hard that the war will stop, we may have a good, Fashioned Christmas"
 "I'll do it" Billy declared well wish just as hard as ever we canl'
 Now that's splendid. Perhaps things will come right after all," sang the Giant, as he stood up and began

 The Tyre bird is in class by him. self. There was time when his family was a large and merry one in New South Wales, but he has for years been retreating before the ad- vance of civilization until he cannot retreat much more without stepping into the ocean.
 Except for his remarkable tail the Tyre bird would not be one bit more attractive than a barnyard fowl. The tail feathers bear a striking re- semblance to the ancient musical in strument from which it gets its name. Often these feathers get crossed and the bird looks like a perambulating dollar mark.
 The bird has long and slender legs on which he can move rapidly, but he is not much on flying because his wings are small and his large tail is a handicap in flight.
 As a nest builder the Tyre bird is one of the wonders of the feathered tribe. Being peculiar in shape he re- quires peculiar nest and he builds it dome-shaped so that his tail can be

 could scarcely imagine yourself
 unhappy if you were a prince az or a princess. could you? And yet there are at least two little princes in the world today-one of whom will some day be a king-who are sad and unhappy and unable to enjoy the many, many luxuries prince has at his command.
 Of course you have heard Papa and Mamma and lots of other people talk ing about the dreadful war now go. ing on in Europe-Russia, France, England Belgium and Japan against Germany and Austria. Well, these two little mournful princes are the sons of the King of Belgium.
 The heir to the throne Is Prince Leopold thirteen years of age, and his brother is Prince Charles Theo- dore eleven years old. He also bears the title of Count of Flanders, which seems odd indeed when applied to a lad of eleven summers, doesn't 1t? They have sister, eight years of age, Princess Maria Jose; but this story concerns the boys. not the sister, Early in August each year the Feast of the Assumption is celebrated in the city of Belgium, and it is always a joyous occasion. But this year it was scarcely festival at all, because of the war clouds which hung so heavy over the land. An attempt was made, however to have some sort of ob- servance of the occasion.
 Mass was held in the churches at half-past five in the morning of the appointed day and then, later on and in the afternoon, thousands of chill dren went to church and prayed for tie preservation of their country.
 About noon there was a public dis tribution of hot soup to the children in school located on street known as the Rue Haute. Presently, as has been the custom, two little boys for whom everyone had been watching, entered the school. They came in very quietly. Their little faces were white and drawn and very, very sol emn.
 They were dressed in dark blue sailor suits and each had a tiny TO- sette of black, yellow and red in his buttonhole, the same display of na- tional colors that the other children were wearing.
 Very gravely they tasted some of the soup and said it was very good. Then they talked a moment or two in low tones with several prominent peo- pie present. signed their names in the school autograph book and left, ac- companied by a soldier, resplendent in his uniform.
 The two little boys were Prince Leopold and Prince Charles Theodore. And such sad little princes they were-and are Why, even when the children cheered and cheered them as they were leaving, they just couldn't smile, though they tried to. They had the consolation, however, that their visit had made the poor little children enjoy the free hot soup all the more.

ID LILLY sat up in bed very sudden
 ly. He had been dreaming that
 it was Christmas and that ~ Santa Claus had brought him a beautiful tree; only, the old fellow made a mistake and dropped it down the chimney upside down, so of course, Billy had to stand on his head to see 1t. He was disappointed that it wasn't really Christmas, but he was glad that he didn't have to stand on his head, for he was sure he could never stay upside down long enough to see all the things on a Christmas tree.
 What had made him think of Christmas, anyway, he wondered, when that great occasion was still a long time off? Then, the minute he thought about what month it was, he remembered that the days were still warm and father had promised to take him swimming that very morn ing.
 Gee! I'd better hurry" Billy said importantly, sticking one foot over the side of the bed. Now Billy had put that foot over quickly but he pulled 1t back in even more of a hurry and tucked it under the covers. He wanted very much to hide his head, too. but he was so frightened that he could only sit and stare.
 For there, at the side of his bed, and in fact all over the room, was something so big that Billy wondered if the walls would hold it. The next minute he was quite sure the room was going to break, for it began to Wobble and make a noise
 Perhaps you have never heard a room break? Well. Billy hadn't either; but when this one began he could scarcely believe his ears, for what do you suppose 1t was like? Maybe you'll think Billy was mis- taken, but sure enough, it sounded like a Christmas carol. Billy had heard that walls had ears, and he was just getting used to the idea that they could sing, when he discovered that the words weren't like any Christ mas carol he knew
 Hello, hello, how are you this morning?" they sang.
 Billy felt that he should really be polite and sing in reply, "Very well, thank you" But he found that he couldn't make any noise in his throat.
 
 Billy?" asked the song.
 Then Billy really saw exactly what was the matter with the room. There, with his knees tucked under his chin. sat a giant. Yes, indeedl And so big fellow that when he laughed the walls of the room had to shake, too, for they were so close to him.
 Who are you?" Billy asked, the words simply popping out of his mouth in his surprise.
 "The Very Biggest Giant" the old fellow declared, "and l live in the Land Before Christmas"
 "Oh, I see,' Billy said politely, though he really didn't see, for he had never heard of the Land Before Christ mas
 Perhaps you'd like to go there?" the Very Biggest Giant suggested.
 Billy was sure that he would, but of course he couldn't very well travel in only his pajamas.

 There are few things which are more of delight than really good pictures, to refresh the memory of camping, or vacation days on the farm; the swimming hole, friend Fido, or-"the prettiest girl at school"
 The making of enlargements at home is a comparatively simple mat ter, and quite inexpensive compared with the cost of a regular enlarging outfit.
 To make enlargements a boy must know how to do his own developing of the paper after it has been printed by the sunlight.
 The whole process of making en- Engagements is shown in the illustration, which may be explained as follows: A small room, which may be easily darkened, with only one window, fac ing directly east or west, would be preferable, but a southern exposure will do. All light is shut out from the room except that which is allowed to come through the camera lens and a small red window above D, near the opening for the camera back A piece of "onion skin" tissue paper is pasted by it's corners, to the window pane

the lens will be level with the middle of the largest enlargements you wish to make. After placing board, boxes and camera in position up by corrugat- ing board in the window, you can mark around back of camera on cor rugated board just where a window is to be cut to let the sunlight in to the negative. On each outer side of the opening you cut in corrugated board, paste flaps of black paper, bend each flap around its edge and inward to- ward the camera so the back of it may telescope into it, and come flush with the opening in corrugated board. When making the enlargements, a focusing cloth, or other opaque cloth, Is placed over the whole camera, ex- cept the lens, to keep out any small streaks of light.

 Billy forgot to see just how the Very Biggest Giant carried him home and dumped him out of the necktie into his bed, but he didn't forget what the little Dutch doll had told him.
 Well wish that the old war would stop, just as hard as ever we can," he declared.
 But then perhaps, if you know him he has told you about it, and you're wishing too2

Everybody has ambition Of some kind

tion is disappointed; the difference is
that the ambition Of silly people is a
silly inexcusable, mistaken ambition;
and the ambition Of people Of sense Is
a right and commendable one The
ambition of silly young man would be
to have fine clothes, and money to
throw away in idle folles; which would
be no proofs Of merit in him, but only
Of folly in his parents, in dressing him
out like n iackanapes and giving him
money to play the fool with. The am.
bition Of silly fellow is to have fine
equippage, a fine house; things which
anybody that has as much money may
have as well as he. They are ali to be
