A Good Lesson

Mammals not home and neither is
Betsy" said May, exhausted. II am
going to taste some of those cookies
and that jam. Nobody will know,
for everybody is out"
May was a small girl who only
lived six summers, but was very
naughty. So her mother left her
home that morning and went to meet
some friends that would arrive at
4:25 p. m. Betsy, the servant, went
along to wheel baby. She made good
things for company.
May ate and ate until she was sick.
But she was not satisfied yet, so she
took teaspoonful of the jam and
got it on her white lace dress.
What shall do?" she cried in de-
spair. She took water and tried IN
wash the stain, but it only became
worse 'T'il take it off and go to
bed
When her parents came home they
wondered where she was, so Betsy
went upstairs and found her asleep,
She had a terrible fever. Betsy took
her downstairs and they sent for this
physician. He told the troubled
parents that she had eaten too many
sweets. So she had to tell the truth,
but she never did it again.

Walk to Reduce Flesh

Do you always take every opportu-
nifty to walk when you can? If 1t is
a matter Of several blocks do you take
a car when it is possible? Take every
opportunity to walk, but walk as If
you really enjoyed 1t. Put some en-
ergy into the exercise. Really make
it as exercise
Do not eat more than one starchy
food at meal. drink plenty of water,
but between meals, and. above all,
eat enough to allay hunger, but stop
there. Do not continue as If you are
never going to get another meal in
stead of one quite as heavy in another
four or five hours. Another thing,
sleep with plenty of fresh circulating
air in your sleeping room. and II you
are very stout do with just sufficient
sleep and omit the nap in the middle
of the day.

Draping the Mourning Toque1

Much of the style which many a
mourning toque might have is lost
because the long veil in crepe or
wolfe or marquisette is inartistically
draped The length of filmy black
should be laid in six narrow folds
slanting at either side of the toque,
separating at front center to form an
inverted v from the top, the crown
proper being smoothly covered.
When these folds reach almost to
within two inches of the back centre
of the brim they are allowed total
loosely and the remaining length of
material becomes a single flowing
scarf which should be drawn forward
over the right shoulder.
The long mourning veil flowing
loose over the back of the costume
is absolutely out of fashion.

good things were on the table, with
a brimming pitcher of milk and a
smaller pitcher of cream at each

In the afternoon they visited the
chickens, and cows, and horses and
pigs.

The COWS were sleek Jerseys, with

Jim Jackson and the Diamond

once upon time there was a boy
whose name was Jim Jackson. One
day as he was playing with friends
he stepped on a piece of glass. 1t
hurt him very much so he limped
to a pile of lumber nearby. AS he
sat there, he saw something glitter
ing in the path. He picked it up.
What do you think it was? 1t was
a little black box, wide open with a
diamond in it.
Jim got up from his seat and limp
ed home. When he reached there,
and his mother saw his foot, she
looked for a rag and put some ONT
ment on 1t. As she was tying it,
Jim placed something in her hand.
His mother looked at it with great
10y, then she said to Jim: go to the
jeweler with it," Jim started out for
the jeweler at once 1t was not far
away and in a little while he reached
the jeweler, who gave him 1915
for It, He took the money home to
mis- mother, who was overjoyed. She
wanted Jim to take some of the
money, but he refused, as he was al
ways good to his mother.

The Right Way to Walk

The proper way to walk Is with
the foot almost fiat so that the
weight of the body at each step is
distributed over the entire sole Of the
advanced foot. The heel should
touch the ground first and foot point
straight ahead.
Do not attempt to stiffen the knees
in military STYLE but let them give
somewhat with each step; let the
arms swing naturally at the sides
and take a moderately long stride.
If you do considerable walking, and
hold the body erect with the chest
high, you need not worry about the
correct way. because in order to
cover ground rapidly you will strike
the ground with the heel first and
in long walk anyone who toes out
will observe that there is an ever
increasing tendency to point the foot
straight ahead.-Paterson Press.

Keeping Hair in Curl

Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please publish the fluid
to keep the hair in curl while at
the seashore? MRS. ]. s.
There are many preparations that
are offered to keep the hair in curl
but none are so effective as bando-
line, made from ounce seed
Add teaspoonful of the seed,
bruised, to a pint of soft water.
Boil gently until the quantity is
reduced to three gills Then strain.
and, when cold, two tablespoonfuls
each of cologne and alcohol should
be added. If the hair is naturally
oily qne-half tablespoonful of pow
dered alum may be added, dissolv-
ing 1t first IN alcohol. For apply
ing to the hair a small sponge Is
the best agent. This lotion must
be put on before using curriers'.

Honesty Is the Best Policy

This is a very old proverb with
plenty of good, common sense behind
it. If anyone doubts this, let him
read the following:
One day a boy was walking along
with some of his comrades when he
saw a pocketbook lying in the street.
He picked it up and opened it, Upon
counting its contents he found that
it contained $50, besides card bear
ing womans name and address and
also a bank book made out in the
same name.

Dainty Embroidenes

According to the Dry Goods Econ
onist, in the many discussions as to
what type of embroidery will prevail
for spring, voiles are confidently men,
toned. The new voiles will be ex-
ceptionally fine. soft and sheer. In
keeping with the indicated vogue for
dainty embroidery patterns.
Soft-finished, fine materials on the
batiste order, under various new
names, will also be in high favor, and
there will be novel cloths In pro-
fusion.
In designs it is believed that the
filet effects suggesting the filet pat
terms now fashionable In laces will
have an excellent position. Dainty
demi-flouncings embroidered In POM
padour colorings are also booked as
winners. Other colored novelties will
be shown in dull, soft tones and neat
patterns.

Drop Ends for Pullman Seats

With view to increasing the COM
fort of passengers, Pullman seats with
drop ends have been designed and are
now being installed in some compart-
ment cars, says the Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. The outer end of the
seat, the portion that ordinarily
serves as an arm rest, Is hinged to
drop outward to position level with
the body of the seat and is equipped
with a sliding bracket which supports
IL in that position. The seat is then

The patter OF little feet,
The sound of a door that Is opened,
And voices soft and sweet.
From my study see in the lamp

Descending the broad hall stair,
Grave Alice and laughing allegro,
And Edith with golden hair.
A whisper and then silence;
Yet know by their merry eyes
They are plotting and planning
together
To take me by surprise.
A sudden rush from the stairway,
A sudden raid from the hall,
By three doors left unguarded
They enter my castle wall.
They climb up into my turret,
Ger the arms and back OF my

If try to escape, they surround me;
They seem to be everywhere.
They almost devour me with kisses,
