Dorothy Dear sat on the edge of
the boardwalk, on the beach at
Ideal-by- y-the-Sea.
on one side were her new black
patent leather toe slippers, drying
in the sun. On the other were two
long white stockings, spread out
carefully and doing the same thing.
Every few seconds Dorothy would
cast an anxious glance over her
shoulder. She hoped that nobody
would come down to the beach
until the slippers and stockings were
dry.
first thing" Dorothy told herself
sternly.
You see, children, Dorothy had
had an accident. This was her very
first day at Ideal-by- the Sea, and
she had hurried down to the sea
edge to pay her respects to the
dancing waves. A breeze had tossed
her hair all over her face, and she
had knotted the tumbled locks Sc
curely under her hat. And then,
while she was executing a gay lit
tie dance of triumph, Sly little,
saucy little wave had scurried up
the beach and wrapped itself all
around her feet, new slippers, new
stockings and all.
And now it was forlorn little
Dorothy Dear that sat on the edge
of the boardwalk, with the wet ar
ticles spread out in the sunshine.
She wondered if Davie would
come along. and bristled at the
thought.
Hell be glad" said Dorothy,
cause I didn't wait for him."
She poked a finger inside of n
slipper, and sighed as she pulled t
out.
"It's as wet as-as anything,
and So" the finger was poked in the
left slipper, "and so is the other
one"
Then Dorothy examined the
stockings and frightened. One was
quite dry and she pulled it on and
fastened her garters, saying to her
self. Now, only have to wait for
one stocking and two slippers"
The waves didn't seem to mind
her distress at all. They rolled in,
formed a crest and tumbled head
first on the sand, slid gayly up the
beach, found their way into hun
dred little sandcrab holes and slid
down again, to be lost in the ocean,
leaving behind them little bits of
sea weed, a jelly fish or two, and
few sticks and shells.
Dorothy watched the waves and
pondered.
"They did just that before / was
born, and before my mother was
born, and before my mothers
mother, and before her mothers
mother, and all the mothers in the
world were born" she thought, land
they'll be tossing and tossing for
my children, and my children's
children to see, always ana always,
till the-end-of-the-world."

ARE YOU AGooD
COFFEE MAKERa

There is no reason why we in Amer
lea should not enjoy the same aro--
matte and fragrant coffee which we
admire and praise so much in Vienna
and Paris.
We pride ourselves on our tea-mak-
ing-and we make it really well-but
why is it that in most homes, while
we have delicious tea, we are served
with coffee which comes very far
short of the Continental mark and
which we drink more as matter of
custom and duty than of pleasure?
A few simple rules must be studied
and adopted, writes a contributor of
the Philadelphia Inquirer and after
that the proper method of making
coffee is simplicity itself. Any trou-

of really delightful beverage, and
having the compliment paid ever and
anon by a guest, 'fWell I never taste
coffee like this, out Of France"
The best coffee beans must always
be bought, and not more than a few
pounds at a time. 1t is advisable to
procure a coffee mill and grind ones
own beans. The beans should be
stored in an alright can and put
in a dry place, while about half a
pound should be placed in can on
the kitchen mantelpiece, and the
daily supply taken from this, which
saves the other beans from being ex-
posed to the air so often. The~amount
of ground coffee for each person
varies very much according to, the
softness or hardness of the water.
Hard water requiring double the
amount of coffee that soft water does

the end OF the world would be like,
but her mind soon returned to the
ocean in front of her.
Il wonder" said Dorothy, where
the wave went that wet my shoes.
Is it still a wave by itself, rolling
underneath and getting ready to
come to the top and try to do some
more mischief, or is 1t all mixed up
with the mother ocean and all the
rest of the waves. Dear me! l
nearly forgot to feel the shoes"
Her finger was poked inside, and
Dorothy's gloom returned. The
slippers felt Just as wet as ever.
"I'll have to stay here always and
always" she said, grimly, 'if I'm
to wait till they get dry. o, dear9
There was a shouting behind her
and Dorothy glanced over her
shoulder to see Davie coming as
fast as his fat legs would permit.
Racing about him in wide circles
was Laddie-dog, wholly pleased at
being at the shore once more and
having plenty of room in which to
give vent to his happy doggy spir-

"Hoo-hool Doro-theel Doro-

Dorothy hastily tucked her feet
under her, Turkish fashion. Then
she spread her skirts over the wet
stocking and slippers.

Once upon a time there lived little
girl in France. Her parents were
very poor and in the winter they
could hardly drive. the wolf from the
door. At Christmas time her parents
were sad, as they had no gifts for
her.
Piccola arose on Christmas morn
ing and stole to her shoe as all other
children do. And to her great surprise
she found st. Nicholas had been
there, for in her shoe was a half
starved sparrow, that had flown in
the window.
She called to her mother and father
to show them her pretty Christmas
gift. The parents were so happy be-
cause nature had provided their little
child with a Christmas gift, where
they could not afford to, that they
taught her to care for the little bird
and make its1ife happy also.

Bob the Orphan

Bob, an orphan boy, was coming
down the street to deposit some
money in the bank, which he had
saved by selling papers.
AS he turned the corner of Fifth
avenue some boys jumped at him and
took his money away.
AS they were running away John
Brown, broker, of Wall street, saw
this, chased the boys for little dis
tance and caught them. He took the
money from the boys and gave it
back to Bob.
Bob thanked the broker very much.
AS they, were about to part Mr.
Brown asked Bob what his occupa-
ton was. Bob answered with a sad
face that he sold papers. Mr.. Brown
handed him a card and told him to
come to his office at o'clock the next
day and he would give him job in
his office. Bob thanked the broker
and they parted.
At o'clock the next day Bob called
at the brokers' Office. The broker
gave Bob job as an errand boy. A
few weeks later when Bob was doing
an errand for the broker a burglar
went in the brokers' office, killed him
and escaped.
AS Bob entered the office he saw
Mr., Brown lying dead on the floor.
He quickly notified the police. When
the police came they Immediately ac-
cused Bob as the slayer of Mr. Brown,
because he was the only one present
at this time.
Bob was taken to prison and few
weeks later they held a trial. Bob
was found guilty and was to be
electrocuted the next week.
| Several days passed when the real
slayer had an accident and was taken
| to the hospital He was treated by
Mr.. Browns daughter, who had be-
come nurse.
AS the burglar was about to die he
confessed that Bob was innocent and
he was the real slayer. AS the nurse
heard this she FASTENED to the prisor
where Bob was to be executed.A
She told the judge the story and hi
| freed Bob. A few weeks later Bot
married the brokers' daughter.
After the marriage he became 9
broker and made a fortune, and they
lived very happily ever afterward.
