Darning is an accomplishment
which most of us find necessary to
practise. A few hints may help,
therefore, to solve some of the diff
culties of this work.
A very essential thing to consider
is the needle, which should always
be large enough to carry the thread
easily.
If the eye of the needle is too small
the thread will gather into a knot
at the eye.
This will prevent the work from be-
ing smooth and even, and, besides,
there will be the difficulty of pulling
the needle through the goods.
The material to be darned should
be basted over a heavy paper or put
into a small pair of embroidery hoops
SO that the work can be more quickly
executed.
If the goods to be mended are old
basic a piece of old material under
them and take the stitches through

Nurse Nellie came into the room
just then, and Dorothy told her
their predicament.

I'VE want to do something for some
body, and no poor children have
gone by for us to call in. What

Nurse Nellie smiled and put an

Nurse Nellie frowned. THAT was
a dreadful hope Dorothy, but I'm
quite sure you didn't really mean

But Dorothy was beyond earshot.
She was scurrying down the stairs

the necessary permission.

A Practical Way to
Keep Blankets Clean

To prevent the blankets getting
soiled, simple covers to turn down
over the top of the blankets will be
found extremely useful.
These may be made of the very fine
cheesecloth. Take a piece four or
five inches longer than the blanket
is wide and about three-quarters of
yard in width.
Finish the cheesecloth with her.
an inch and a half wide on all sides,
and featherstitch it with a mercer
lied thread, the color of the band
ings on the blanket.
The initials may be done in cross
stitch in the centre of the strip six
inches from the hem.
In adjusting the strip, double it i'll
half, so that the blanket will be pro-
tected on either side about twelve
inches.
Tack the strip with a few we'll
placed stitches. AS soon as the pro-
tector shows soil, it may be taken
off, Numbered and replaced. The
trouble of making, adjusting and
laundering the strips is not to be
compared with that of laundering
a heavy blanket.

Dorothy and Davie Dear sat in
the nursery window seat, and what
do you think they were doing?
IF you read yesterdays story

They were waiting for a poor
little girl and boy to come along,
so that they could give them some
nice, warm clothes.

Dorothy giggled.

said, "he poked the lid off and

around You should have nailed

old rascal went. He was awfully
nice. | loved the way he wiggled
his nose
And didn't he have nice long
whiskers," commented Davie, with
enthusiasm. "he was an awful
eater, though. He didn't run away
until he'd eaten all the lettuce I
put in the box, and carrot, too.
Piggish, he was"
Maybe it's just as well he did
run away" said Dorothy, with a
grown-up air" we never, never
could have kept him fed

bit home i wouldn't "a jumped out
of the. tree and torn my suit" sighed
Davie, 80 it was Henry's fault that
thought of that, and mother pun
ished me, too" And he drew down
his eyebrows in a resentful frown.

give it to a poor boy, so there's

looking out of the window. where

curls bobbed up and down.

Nellie says its an ill wind that
blows nobody good which means
that whatever happens does some
body good. Do you see?'
Davie. looking very much puz-
zled, shook his head.
"Oh, Davie, you're so stupid, said
Dorothy, impatiently, "if you hadn't
torn your suit, you couldn't give it
to the poor little boy. So it was for
his good. Now, do you see?"

DOLL AND PICKLES
BY AUNT GERTIE.


A long time ago in a beautiful
country over on the other side of
the sea there lived a king, who
had twelve sons-just an even
dozen.
When they grew to manhood he
told them that each must go out into
the world and find wife for HIM
self
each wife," said he, must be
able to spin and weave and make a
shirt in one day." If she could not
do this, he said that the girl could
not be a daughter-in-law to him.
So the twelve sons started out.
Each was given a horse and a new
suit of mail.
When they had gone little way
they all turned upon the youngest
son, whose name was pickle"
you cannot go with us any fur
Their" said they in one voice. I'VE
do not want you any more"
Poor Pickle said. "All right" He
stopped by the wayside wondering
where he should go all alone.
When he had been sitting for a lit
tie while. the grass near him stirred
and out came little white thing. AS
1t came near to him he saw that 1t
was charming little lassie.
will you come down in the grass
and see Doll L the Grass?" she asked
him in tiny, sweet voice.
Certainly WILL" said the boy
named Pickle.
Now when he got down there whom
do you suppose he saw?

Color and material are the two

A Wart on Her Temple

Dear Miss Doom:
A friend of mine has a large seed
wart on her temple, and | would
appreciate it very much if you
would repeat your cure of a week
or so ago, or give me another.
Trusting to see your answer at
an early date I am, very truly
yours. c. r. w.
Are you positive that i is a wart?
I'd make sure before / tried to
get rid of it. A physician can
quickly tell your friend.
If it is a wart place a drop of
acetic acid in the centre of it, tax
ing care not to get any of the acid
on the surrounding skin. A good
way is to apply the acid with a
match or toothpick. Apply lit
tie every day.
Lunar caustic is also good, but
rather unsightly. as it turns black
and wears off slowly.
Moisten the end of the caustic
stick and rub it on the wart, taking
care not to touch the surrounding
skin

Dates Stuffed With Wainuts
