Little Grains of Wheat

When we were tiny grains of wheat
we were cuddled down IN the warm
earth with many other seeds like our
selves. Finally we began to stretch.
then put our heads I'D through the
ground How bright the sun was. +
We grew and grew and were fed by
the rain and sun. We grew tall and
slender and finally we began to bend
over. We looked down the field and
10 our horror saw q huge machine
coming towards us. 1t was cutting
our friends from left to right and.
then it reached us. Oh, how
frightened we werei
We will never forget our travels ~
the mill. We were thrown into q
large bag with many others and pat :
into a big wagon; We bounced up and
down as we went over the rocks IN
the road which was very uncomfort-
able At last we reached the mill.
Once in the mill we thought our
troubles were over. but-here they
were beginning again. We were
placed in a large machine, threshe0
and pounded into -four On, wfaL
terrible palms, We will never forget
them 1t seemed as though they
would never end.
At last we became acquainted with
the baker He was a jolly fat man
He laid US in a large pan and mixed
us up with warm milk and yeast
and then laid us in a baking pan He.
then opened a large iron door. Oh.
how hot it was -f
We expected to burn TO crisp and
began TO get browner and brownefs
until at last the baker took US ousa
and wrapped us in waxed paper and.
laid us away in a showcase.
A nice young lady came in and.
said, st will have that loaf of bread. s.
She took the bread home and pro-
nouneed it delicious.

Tango Combinations

Tango combinations which include
q. corset cover and a pair of trousers
are the most modest garments in lin
gerie ever created. They perfectly
cover the figure from well above the
bust 70 the insteps, and as they are
cut in two pieces. their seams are
few. Imagine straight-topped
chemise bordered with an Empire
banding in embroidered muslin or
lace, run through and drawn taut
narrow ribbon: held together at the
shoulders with a wide ribbon and ad-
jIsted to the waist line with
medium broad ribbon. So much for
the upper portion of the garment The
lower portion consists of pantaloons
as full as those worn by circus
clowns, and gathered at the insteps
with a ribbon-rlm broad band of
trimming When seen through the
split of the skirt as the dancer kneels
in the tango. they suggest the pan
telettes of an elder and more modest
day. So full are they that to wear II
petticoat over them would be like
carrying Goals TO Newcastle" This
combination Is not only favored by
the woman who tangoes, but by the
woman who gave up dancing years
ago. Both appreciate it's practicable
ity.

Il heard about them at Yarndell's
store" whimpered Hank. They were
talking about your setting the woods
aflre and saying that you mustn't be
judged too harshly. You won't punch
me again if go on?"
"No. Hank"
We'll, then. they said, If you were
had you inherited it from your par
ents. They said that your father had
abandoned your mother, and that
your mother had deserted you"
Il don't believe one word of it,"
said Tommy.
Nevertheless. what he was told
made a deep impression upon him,
and he determined TO relate Hanks
story TO his grandmother that eve
ning and ask her how much of it
was true. Accordingly. after supper,
when he had finished his chores and
his grandfather had gone down to the
store, as was his custom. he placed
a chair before the fireplace for Hep
sic Dempster and, taking a seat OPP
posite her, began.
Grandma, why is it you never
speak to me of my parents2 Is it be-
cause they are wicked?r

Dear Margery Doom:
Will you please give me a remidy
for excessive perspiration2 1t is
very annoying and make me IN
happy. WORRIED
Excessive perspiration of the
hands, as a rule, indicates q. run
down condition of the system that
requires internal treatment to cure.
Here is mixture that helps many
persons:
Alcohol, four ounces.
Tincture of belladonna. one-hslf
ounce.
Wipe the palms of the hands sew
eral times a day with this, letting
the mixture dry on. It evaporates
quickly. Do not let it reach the
back of the hands. If wished, tall
cum or orris powder may be busted
on as soon as the liquid dries.
Never use hot water, which opens
the pores and causes the perspira-
ton to flow. Cleanse your hands
with tepid water.
A solution of alum is effective in
some cases. Moisten the hands sew
eral times day.

that Mrs. W. wishes to know how
TO rid her sink of ants.
IF she will sprinkle common table
salt around she will soon be rid Of
them. There is nothing better than
salt for both the black and the red
ants. My husband was in India for
six years, and that Is what the
British soldiers used out there. and
ants are a great deal bigger in
India than in Jersey.
I've only written TO you once

The little red schoolhouse in the
pine woods had been burned in the
confiagration, but Squire Bushrod
was determined that this should not
interfere with the education of the
Harpswell children. Before a week
had passed the parlor in his large
farmhouse wasconverted into a class
room and the children were notified
to assemble there every morning and
resume their studies under the in
struction of their old teacher.
When Tommy reappeared among
his schoolmates he was surprised at
the cool reception he received. Some
refused to recognize him, others
greeted him with a contemptuous
nod, while one or two expressed their
disapproval of having him for a com
panion by insulting him outright
"Jail's the proper place for Demp-
ster," sneered Arthur Easterly.
Yes; it's a shame to make decent
boys associate with firebug, chimed
in Sim Mcdonald.
but he bore it heroically. He passed
a miserable day, and was glad when
school was over and he could return
home. When this time arrived and
he was about to leave the school
room, Hank Bushrod appeared out
side the door Tommy was in the act
of passing him when Hank caught
him by the arm, crying:
Not so fast, sonny, I'd like to
speak a word to your schoolmates
about you before you 60"
They don't wish to hear about
me-" returned Tommy, bitterly.
They've shown that"
Yes, tell us. What is it?' queried
Sim Mcdonald, seeming a scandal.
Tell us, Hank Tell us!" chimed
in the others, their curiosity now ex-
cited to the highest pitch.
well. it's this, drawled Hank,
taking a cigarette from its package
and lighting it deliberately. You
mustn't he too hard on Dempster be-
cause he's a firebug. It's not his
fault If his instincts are criminal. He
inherited them from his parents"

We have quite gotten away from
the old idea of cotton frock; it no
longer stands for morning wear alone,
but shows quite as many frills and
f1ounces as it's aristocratic silk sister.
and fills the bill for afternoons or the
summer hotel hop quite as efficiently.
Small patterned voiles and crepeS,
narrow striped cottons, lingerie and
net are made up alone for these
frocks or are combined with taffetas,
crepe de chine and other silks, plain
and fancy.
fiower-strewn crepe, showing a
small pink bud on a cream back
ground is used for the young girls
dress (S352); the scalloped outline on
the bodice and tunic are edged with
narrow Valenciennes lace and the
girdle is of satin in soft shade OF
French blue, Six and one-eighth yards
of thirty-six- inch crepe are needed
to make this dress for a girl of eigh-
teen, with nine yards of lace edging.
The second costume, fashioned of
white eponge, shows a cape effect
and a modish collar, fiaring away
from the throat: the skirt is a one
piece model with a double circular
tunio. The BLOUSE lSS4Sl may ba
