I'm through now" said Dorothy,
jumping up and brushing the dirt
from her knees, 81 only wanted to
save his life"
Save his life! How did you save
his life demanded Davie, looking
at Dorothy with vast disdain, his
feet wide apart and his hands
thrust into his trousers pockets.
Dorothy giggled.
HE might have gone around, and
around, and around, and finally
bumped his head on the fence and
killed himself" she declared, tug
cling at one of her curls, "mightn't
he, Mary 'Lizbeth?"
Mary Elizabeth nodded, Laughing,
and Davie turned UP his nose, say
ing. you talk silly"
Then he turned his attention to
the dog. Nipper wagged his tail
joyfully as he trotted up to Davie.
Davie threw the stick and told
Nipper to bring 1t back. Nipper
trotted after it, picked it up and
promptly aid on the grass to chew
it, cooking his eye at Davie as If
to say, what do you think of me
now2"
Davie stamped his foot, which
made Dorothy remark, mother
says you can never teach a dog
less you have lots and lots of
patience"
I'm patient" said Davie angrily.
Yes, you are" Dorothy jeered,
your face Is as red as a beetI"
shes just trying to tease you,
Davie," cut in Mary Elizabeth, as
Davies eyes began to flash don't
notice her. Teach Nipper some
more"
This time Davie threw the stick
and when Nipper picked it up he
called quickly, here. Nipperl here,
Nipperl" And the puppy quickly
turned and brought the stick to
him, to Davies intense delight.
True. Nipper didn't want to let the
stick go. When Davie tried to take
1t he held on with all his might,
but this made on difference to
Davie. He had won his point in
making Nipper come back at all,
and proudly told Dorothy so.
I'm going to teach him a lot of
tricks soon's he knows this one" he
announced, you wait and see."
That's right" said Dorothy,
with a grown-up air of criticism,
"begin to brag, first thing"

Train.
Another OF Aunt Juhette's pet theo-
ries is that home ought TO be man
aged just like business. I coulon
agree with this at first. and the idea
of commercializing home didn't ap-
peal to me at all.
IF you actually run your home Ike
q business man runs his office, II
means that you have to stick to hard
and-fast rules and long business
hours, and keep books and files ana
goodness knows what elseH l argued.
Quite So" agreed Aunt Juhette,
unperturbed. You'd follow dehnlte
rules, instead OF the average house
keepers hit-and-miss methods; also,
after once deciding on your business
routine and hours, you'd stick 10 II
In other words, If your hours for
household business are from s to s,
for example, you observe those hours
as vigorously as any business man OBJ
serves his. And you'll find yoursen
in possession of more leisure than
some easy-going housekeepers, VINO
let their work slide haphazaro over
fifteen hours a day"
But If your marketing and cooking
and dishwashing and busting really
take up twelve or fifteen hours day,
how will 1t help you to make a time
schedule?" / asked.
1--WE watched the woman whose
household tasks take her all day unto
the fifteenth hour. and it's Just be-
cause she doesn't observe a business
like schedule. She is constantly shift
ing from one thing to another, and
returning back TO the first task TO
finish that. She never knows what
she Is going to do next. And the mo-
ment she stops to think about it, she
is so overwhelmed with the amount
and variety of things to be done that
she plunges head ong into half a
dozen things at once, and doesn't get
anything finished in time.
II had the value of the schedule
Idea emphasized when took that
trip to San Francisco. While I was
on the train l thought what long,

THE BRIDES OWN STORY

II made me think. Why can't pan
nv daily work-trip through the house
SO that everything will be nnisheo
promptly each day.
Then Aunt Juliette showed me the
household schedule that was the re-
suit of her idea; and certainly II
looks almost like q railroad time
table:
Household Daily Schedule (So Maid.

alternate days go out marketing.
to 4.30-Rest period.
4:so to 5-Prepare dinner.
s to e-Give children supper and
put them to bed.
6 to Serve dinner.
7 to 7:30--Wash dishes, put cereal
in fireless for breakfast next morn
ing.
I counted up the rest periods.
1.-TWO hours during the day for read
ing or mapping or any other kind OF
recreation." ! exclaimed That GER
tainly makes housework look a more
leisurely occupation than business.
I've always insisted on rest
periods" replied aunt firmly. ''The
rest periods are as important to my
health as the work periods are to the
health of the house. 1 found, too,
since 1 kept a maid, that my house
hold helpers seem to be more con-
tented and STAY with me longer than
most of the housekeepers ! know, ami
/ believe it's because they rest dur
ing the day and never feel WORKOUT
at night"
OF course, this Is Aunt Juliette's
schedule when she had no maid and
called in outside help twice week
for laundry and heavy cleaning. But
she says every housekeeper ought to
plan her own schedule according to
her needs-the size Of house, number
in family, hours of meals. whether
she has a maid or not
When I know a little more aholie
the daily routine, I'm going TO plan
my daily schedule. all Nv myssk,

Pretty Candle Shades

You may easily make candle shades
to suit the occasion. Cut out cir
cular foundation from white bristol
board, then cover this with crepe
paper. It viii be smoother If stitched
on the machine, rather than fastened
with paste. Make a narrow ruching
of crepe paper on the machine and
sew at the top and bottom of the
shade while fiat; then fasten the ends
of the shade together. For a bridal
shower, cut four hearts one inch IN
size at equal distances apart out of
the bristol board, but not through the
crepe paper. For a card party use
spades, diamonds, etc, for the cut-out
design. With the numerous shades
of crepe paper you can use class or
club eolors and have an effective
shade at a small cost and very little
labor.-Exchange.

Dorothy and Mary Elizabeth, with
Davie and Billy. were in the back
yard playing with Nipper-pup.
Davie was trying to teach Nipper
to retrieve.
Did you ever hear that word?
It's rather a queer one, isn't Ii,
and ii means ito recover, to bring
back" So when Davie was teach
ing Nipper to retrieve he was
teaching him to bring back the
stick he would throw across the
grass.
Nipper did not make much
progress, however. Ideas danced
about gaily In his doggy brain,
making little or no impression. AS
1 told you Saturday. mother Dear
considered him a hopelessly silly
pup. Father Dear, though, had
hopes that Nipper would gain sense
as he grew older. As to Dorothy
and Davie. they didn't care wheth-
er he had sense or not, because he
was such a good-hatured, harum-
scarum sort of a playmate. and GER
tainly Nipper did not worry about
his lack of brains He was quite
the happiest puppy-dog in the
world.
He's rested now I'm going to
give him another lesson" an
nounced Davie. Importantly, after
waiting ten minutes for Nipper to
recover from the nervous strain of
the last attempt. you come here,

Nipper paid no attention. Out Of
the corner of his eye he had sud-
denly spied the end OF his tail, and
was very busy going around and
around In a mad, vain attempt to
catch II.
He's a merry-go-round." cried
fat little Billy. laughing until the
tears rolled down his cheeks
Doesn't he look funny, thought"
said Mary Elizabeth
I'm 'fraid he'll get dizzy and fall
over" cried Dorothy In alarm. She
ran up to the puppy and caught
him around the waist. bringing him
to a sudden standstill; and the very
minute he lost sight OF his tail he
stopped thinking about it. and
licked Dorothy's hands with as
much energy as If there was moth
ing the world he'd like better to do.

him ia like to teach him this
trick" said Davie with impa-

men who held Liege against the Ger
mans until their forts were shot TO
pieces by those marvellous siege guns,
and who checked the advance of the
kaiser's legions until France could
muster her strength for defense, are
just as heroic as their ancestors.
General Leman. who commanded at
Liege, finding his fort rendered de-
fenseless, blew it up and himself along
with it. BY one of those inexplicable
chances of war he escaped death and
was picked up unconscious by the
Germans and made a prisoner, bur
with the honors due his heroic resist
ance.
The whole story OF Belgium's part
in the present war reads like a fable
from some martial age, and not like
the sober record of the most populous
and most industrious country of
Europe. The Belgians are farmers
and manufacturers They are noted
for the arts of peace and for social
progress. They were, perhaps, up to
the hour that their country was in
vaded one OF the happiest. most pros

of Europe. They numbered about u

Then the fingers are dipped into

better to dust felt hat, and silk

perfectly without cutting or otherwise
injuring the silk.-Ex change.
