Away from the Cares Of City Life

Mr.. and Mrs Foran welcomed Ed
ward very warmly and they treated
him as they would have their own
son treated by others.
, One day, about a week after his
coming Edward was speaking Of his
former life and was telling of his beg
ging expeditions.
A sudden thought struck Mr.. Foran
and he asked Edward to describe his
father He did so, and very accurate

Foran recognized him as Bill Brogan,
the long missing man-servaut.
They told Edward the story and Mr..
Foran said:

Grandpa S Story

1t was raining outside. The chill
dren, therefore, had to stay in the
Rouge. Edith. the largest of the three,
had some sewing to do, but Robert
and Ethel We're sitting quietly and
thinking of something they could do
to pass the time away.
Grandpa sat in q big rocking-c chair
and peered into the CRATE. He was
probably picturing to himself the in
cidents in his life His reveries were
suddenly interrupted by two childish
voices saying In unison, Grandpa,
tell us a story"
A smile lighted up the old face as
he first kissed Ethel and then Robert.
What shall it be, children, fairy
tale or a funny story?"
"A fairy tale" they promptly an
swered
Edith sat down on grandpa's lap,
while Robert made himself comfort
5ble on the footstooI. Grandpa then
told them the following story:
Long, long ago. there lived very
beautiful princess. As she was an
only child the king loved her more
than anything in the world.
Matters went well while she was
small As she grew to womanhood
he king began to fear that she might
fall in love, marry, and leave him.
SO he kept close watch on her doings.
"One day prince from distant
country came on IA visit to the king.
When he saw the princess he fell in
love with her. The princess also
liked him Immensely.
When the king found that the
prince loved his daughter he was
very angry and forbade the prince
ever to come to the castle again.
Soon after the prince left the
princess became very sick
MANY doctors called, but none OF
them knew what allied the princess.
"She kept on getting worse from
day to day. If | only knew what
would cure her. the king NUT
tered one day, I would give all my
possessions to get it..
LAS he said this a fairy appeared
and said: Would you even give your
daughter if it was necessary to save
her life
THE king thought a moment and
answered yes.
Tomorrow her cure will come,
but do not forget your promise were
the fairy's last words as she gradu-
ally vanished.
"The next day the prince heard
that the princess was In a critical
condition. He resolved to see her no
matter what would happen. So he

The Magic Beads

There was once little girl who had
a bad habit of telling lies. Her mother
did not know what to do with her.
She used to tell her she would sell her
If she did not stop telling so many
lies But tho little girl did not heed
anything her mother used to say. One
day a gentleman came in to see her
mother Before he went he left
package with her.
The next day, when the little girl
woke up, she had a pretty string Of
beads on her neck, but she did not
know where the beads came from and
she didn't ask her mother, either.
That morning, when she went out to
play, one of her friends asked her
where she got the beads. She said
my father gave them to me for my
birthday" As she said this the beads
grew three times their size. That is.
when she told lie they grew larger
and when she told the truth they re
sumed their natural size When this
happened the little girl became fright
ened Then she said. These are
magic beads and | wonder what my
father gave them to me for. She
started to cry and ran home. She
asked her mother what kind of bead9
were they. Her mother then told h9f.
that If she always told the truth they
would be all right; If she told FALSE
hood they would grow large. After
that lesson she told no more lies bat
always told the truth.

to boil until the mass is thick. Let
the mixture cool, and when 1t can
be handled take tiny bits of the
pulp and roll them around in the
palm of the hand until symmetrical
balls are formed. Through the
balls stick a needle or pin and fas-
ten the bead to the cover of
pasteboard box. They will harden
in few days. Then they may be
strung. The surface of the beads
may be roughened while they are
wet by scratching with a pin.
Here Is the way one of tile Morn

Fill a pail with rose petals and
put them through meat chopper
using finest knife. Grind the
petals eight times a day for four
days. but at about the second
grinding add one teaspoonful tine
ture of iron and three or four tea
spoonfuls Of copperas the size of a
pea, with sometimes a little oil ~
rose. ~ d,ka
When the rose putty isfeig ss,,y !
old make beads, using q thin Ef-
measure the putty so that the
will be uniform. Then dry u
down to about half their size. nj
Roll each thimbleful in hand
make smooth and round and N
them dry a while, but before tlea
become too firm put them on hat
pins 10 make the holes for string
ing, and let them stay on until dry
and hard. When hard put them
in olive oil for an hour or two, let
them dry again and then string
them. r. T.

The Vain Jackdaw

Jupiter sent out proclamation that
on a certain day all of the BIRDS
should come together, when he him
self would choose the most beanti-
full among them to be king.
The Jackdaw, knowing his own
ugliness, yet Wishing to make him
self as attractive as possible, searched
through the woods and fields for the
feathers which had fallen from the
wings of his companions These he
collected and stuck in all parts OF
his body
When the day came, the Jackdaw
came with the others, n his feathered
finery. Jupiter decided that the Jack
daw should be made king on account
of his plumage.
Upon this, the birds whose feathers
the Jackdaw was wearing flew to
him, each plucking from him his
own feathers. Thus the Jackdaw was
again nothing but "A Jackdaw.

What to Do for a Dark Neck
and Chapped Hands

Dear Miss Doom.
Once again must run to you for
aid. Can you tell me whether or
not ammonia is injurious to the
skin? l have such a black looking
neck that a friend advised me to
use ammonia on 1t. l did so with
very satisfactory results. But now
someone has told me that 1t Is in
furious to the skin. / wouldn't use
il if 1 thought that it would do
more harm than good. In spite of
the fact that my hair is dark brown
my skin is fair except for my neck,
which always, no matter how much
| wash it, looks dirty
Can you also tell me something
good for red. chapped hands?
Thanking YOU for helping me.
AN ADMIRER.
The occasional use of ammonia
will not hurt your skin, but l would
not use IL too often If | were you.
Regular applications of lemon juice,
used after the neck has been
hathed and rinsed, will whiten 1t.
Citric acid, the basis of many
bleaehes, is made from lemons.
il.
one and one-half drains of citric
acid, five and one-half ounces of
Tot water a dram of borax and
half an ounce of glycerine. The
acid and boraX are dissolved in the
water, the glycerine being mixed in
later 1t should stand over night
and then be strained through fine
muslin If wished the glycerine
may be omitted until after strain
ing and n few drops of essence of
rose may be combined if you wish
the preparation scented.
OF equal strength, but more suit
ed to some persons is a lotion made
from two ounces of Tactic acid, one
ounce of glycerine and half an
ounce of rose water. This Is put on
at morning and night with a piece
OF soft linen.
The following lotion is said to be
excellent for whitening the hands:
Strained honey, one ounce; lemon
juice one ounce: cologne. one ounce.
Mix and rub we'll into the hands
at night; then wear a pair of large
kid gloves, the palms split for VEN
tilation.
Constant care must be used IL t9e
hands are to be kept nice during
the cold weather, Grease in some
form is necessary to counterfeit the
drying, chapping effect of cold.
A paste that will restore Redeemed
skin to Wilderness is made from one
ounce of powdered myrrh, four
ounces of strained honey. two
ounces of yellow wax and six ounces
of rose water The wax is melted
in a cup set in pan of boiling
water While the liquid is warm the
myrrh goes in, the cup then being
removed from the heat. After a
thorough heating the honey and
rose water are used, adding the lat
ter slowly If the paste is too thick
to spread easily 1t should be thinned
with glycerine.
This application is excellent for
the arms and throat, as well as the
hands.

Edward Berlin lived with his parents
IN damp basement in one of the
poorer sections of the city. Notwith-
standing the poor station of life in
which they existed, his parents drank
heavily and even went as far as sell
ing their scanty furniture to buy
LIQUOR, Soon the rooms were empty.
Though Edward was only twelve
years old, he was compelled to go out
begging daily, and if he returned at
night with small amounts he was
thrashed Numerically.
The rent was never paid and now
that there was no furniture Edward
was supposed to beg more than before.
But it happened that one day, when
nc returned from his labors, he found
that his parents were not there. he
was told by a neighbor that they mad
been taken to the almshouse.
Mrs. Arson (for we must not forget
70 mention the kind neighbours name)
took Edward into her charge, and was
as tender in her care of him as her
maternal heart would permit. She
saw that his health was tasty failing,
so she resolved to send him to her
brothers farm, far into the country,
away from the smoky city and the
din and noise of the crowded streets.
Arrangements We're made and soon
Edward found himself speeding
through green fields and past small
brooks, as he rested contentedly in
Mr.. Foran's limousine.
When Mr.. lforan saw the boy he
gave start of surprise, for on this
poor child's countenance he seemed to
notice some familiar features.
Before going farther, | shall en-
deavor to explain to you an incident
in Mr.. Foran's early married life. To
begin with. he was quite wealthy and
employed a number of servants for the
house and farm. On one sad night a
man-servant disappeared, taking with
him Mr.. Foran's only child, and quite
q large sum of money and jewelry.
Mr.. Foran cared not for the latter. but

mounted his horse and rode to the
castle.
THE king was not with the prin.
cess when the prince entered her
room.
"As soon as she saw him her eyes
frightened; her cheeks took on their
natural color. and stretching out her
arms, she embraced her lover.
THE king had returned just in time
To witness that scene.
He did not interfere-now he knew
what the fairy had meant and he re-
Eembered his promise.
"'Only case of love-siclzness,' he
murmured to himself, and out loud.
4 bless you both, my children
THE next day the prince and prin-
cess We're married.
1.-The king gave all Of his possess
sions to his son-in-law and the three
lived happily for ever after
"Is that all, grandpa asked Ethel
and Robert, who had sat and listened
quietly throughout the story.
Yes, the story Is finished, and as
the rain has stopped. you can both
go out to play"

Too Fat at Twenty

My dear Miss Doom:
| am twenty years old and am
getting very stout, and l do wish
you could tell me of something to
reduce flesh. | would not care to
take patent medicines, as | think
they do more harm than good; but
If you can tell me of some exercise
or diet I will be very much obliged
to you. Hoping TO see an answer
in the Evening Star,
CONSTANT READER.
Systematic exercise. coupled with
attention to diet will keep one from
acquiring excessive ayoirdupois.
Exercising one day and resting
the next, and dieting at one time
and indulging your appetite at an
other will accomplish nothing.
Cultivate persistence. Eat SPAR
ingly of foods containing fats.
Only the lean parts of meat must
be eaten. Pork bacon and the like
are to be avoided Avoid sweets
rich gravies and pastries, and do
not indulge in candy and sodas be-
tween meals. All fruits, with the
exception Of bananas, are permitted,
but they must be eaten without
sugar Eat plenty of apples and
primes.
Avoid potatoes. tnrnips, parsnips,
beets and other vegetables that
grow underground, as nearly all are
esh-producers. Eggs. sugar and
cereals must be eaten sparingly.
Tea and coffee, If taken at all, must
be taken without cream.
Do not restrict yourself to strict
diet without the advice of ply
stefan.

The Burning Ball

AS | on a hoary winters night,
Stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised / was with sudden heat,
Which made my heart to glow,
And lifting up a fearful eye
To view what fire was near,
A pretty babe all burning bright.
Did in the air appear.
Who scorched with excessive heat,
Such floods of tears did shed,
As through his floods should quench
his flames
With which his tears Were bred.
