When BObbie Helped

It was the LIST of May, and the
Swift family were going to move.
All would have gone well had every
one attended to their own affairs, but,
sad to say. they didn't. Ten-year-
old Bobbie insisted upon helping, as
we'll as Mary, Ellen and Jackie, aged
twelve. eight and six, respectively.
Mr.. and Mrs Swift had packed
everything, as they thought, the
night before, but as they were about
TO leave their old house the cat was
found to be missing. Mary was sent
to find it. After awhile she returned,
having found the cat in the oven VI
the stove. The stove was the pro-
perty of the house. Next Mr.. Swift
lost his hat and flew into a temper.
The hat was soon discovered by Bob
bic. One of the men who had come
for the furniture had filled it with
oats and was feeding the horse from
it. They were about to lock the door
when it was found that the key was
lost. so Bobbie had to stay behind UNI
til the new tenants came. They were
expected any minute. The others
started off, Mrs. Swift and the chill
dren taking the car. Mr.. Swift
walked by the side of the rig,
They hadn't gone very far when he
saw chair on the top of the van
slip. He ran forward to save it and
caught hold of a rope. Alas! it came
loose. and several chairs and a mir
ror fell to the ground and were badly
broken. Mr.. Swift was underneath
without any more adventures, they
arrived at their new home, but could
not get in, for Mrs. Swift had the key
and she hadn't arrived yet just
then Bobbie came, so he climbed uI
| by one of the verandas, through a
window and opened the door from the
inside. They had just got in th'
| furniture when Mrs. Swift and the
others appeared. She was in a state
She had lost her purse and had beer
back at the old house in search of it
but without success Bobbie then be
gan to laugh, for there 1t was in he
hand. After the men were paid ant
gone, Mrs. Swift sat down with I
| sigh.

Your Arches

ping heels to floor again. Rest for
five minutes after this exercise.
The three different exercises you
have taken will have counteracted
the ordinary wear and tear of the
day Before retiring, however, hold
a cake of cocoa butter over the flame
of a lighted candle to soften it; then
rub over the feet. Massage gently
with both hands, being sure to rub
from instep toward toes. Be careful
to rub between the toes with your
fingers, which have been made oily
by the cocoa butter they have alb
sorbed in massaging.
With this few minutes care of your
feet each night, you may be sure that
unless you wear ill-titting shoes,
adopt pumps for the street, or in
dulge in French heels, you will be
free from corns, bunions, chilblains,
or any Other ills of the feet; and that
nervous headaches will soon be a
thing of the past. Nothing really has
such soothing and healthful effect
upon the nervous system as we'll

Fishing Snakes

While fishing in the Fort ST. George
moat, at Madras, a correspondent of
Country Life saw a snake fifteen
inches long come out of the water
with fish in its mouth. On catching
sight of the writer it dropped the fish
and bolted. leaving the fish on the
bank alive. On another occasion,
while fishing in a reservoir near Ghaz-
iabad, he again saw a snake emery
ing from the water with a fish in its
mouth. This snake was about TWEEN
ty-four inches long, and on killing it
he was able to identify the fish as
common species of Indian fresh water
fish. Later on he saw a viper, nearly
four feet long, lying in shallow water
The writer hooked it ashore with his
tackle. upon which the snake at
tackled him, leaving a large yellow
fang in his fishing rod.

the suit, which is pale blue linen.
The skirt is boX-plaited onto three
piece hip yoke.
To copy this suit in size 80 2ss
yards of 42-inch material is needed
for the coat (S28Sl and 65s yards of
the same width for the skirt (S059).
The second costume shows a happy
combination of crepe de chine in the
blouse, with a skirt of rough-finished
white cotton. These silk skirts are
especially attractive for sports wear
as thev are cool, and do not soil and
crush easily, and the rough cotton
skirts are favored for the same
reason.
Novelty buttons and the patch
pocket on the skirt are the only trim
ming aside from the cut, which is
smart and new.

For the simple reason that stencil
ing comes under the head of Arts and
Crafts, many people are afraid to
tackle this simple and fascinating
method of decorating. Many beauti-
full and costly articles, as well as in
expensive materials, nave been made
more attractive by this method. 1t is
true that it takes longer to get the
materials ready for use than embroid-
cry does, but a pleasing effect is
gained in much less time.
After the design has been cut from
stencil board it should be firmly
fastened with thumb tacks on the
right side of the material, which has
been spread over a smooth board. The
oil paints should be mixed to the con-

A Variety Of Questions

Dear Miss Doom:
1 have a heliotrope cotton pop
lin dress which has never been
laundered. | wish to wash 1t now,
and as it is rather dingy looking
thought / could put something into
the water to brighten it. Do you
know of anything?
Have a gold dollar of 1852 and a
half-dollar of 1871. Are they worth
more than their face value?
Also, ! have a full set of urcan-
celed stamps commemorative of
the exposition of 1901. Are these of
any value?
We have very old violin which
has been in our family for many
years. How can 1 ascertain it's
value?
Your column is very helpful and
interesting, and l trust / am not
asking too much in one letter.
Thanking you in advance,
GRATEFUL.
I am told that teaspoonful of
sal-soda in a gallon of cold rinsing
water will brighten blue and purple
wash materials. Before washing the
dress set the color with a strong
solution of alum or salt.
If you think the color of the dress
has faded too much, bleach it with
javelle water, which is made by
boiling a pound of soda in a gallon
of water for ten minutes, and then
adding a pound of chloride Of lime.
When the fluid is settled the clear
part should be bottled and corked
tightly. A stronger solution may
be made by using more soda (bicar-
Donate of soda) and lime to the
gallon of water.
The coins are not listed.
Would advise you to take the
stamps and violin to dealers for
valuation. Am sorry cannot give
business names and addresses in
this column. Consult the business
directory, in the back of the city
directory.

into the material SO that no surplus
paint is left on the surface. The stem

The main points to be remembered
are to always have a dry blotter

to rub the brush almost dry before
applying it to the material.
Explicit directions for stenciling will

These designs are suitable for use
on furniture, curtains, couch-covers,

A Dime and a Remedy for

A Dime and a Remedy for
Falling Hair
Dear Miss Doom:
VIII you please tell me if dime
dated 1856 is of any value?
Also, can you tell me of some
thing that will make my hair grow
long and thick, as it is all falling
out. B.A.
The dime is not listed.
Nothing is better for unhealthy
hair than regular massage. 1t
should be done every night. The
scalp should be kneaded mot
rubbed with the tips of the fingers
until 1t Is loose and pliable. The
action promotes the circulation of
the blood and of the natural oils
around the roots. Rub in the fol-
lowing tonic:
One pint bay rum.
One-half pint clear alcohol.
One-half ounce castor oil.
One-quarter ounce carbonate am
monia.
One-hal ounce tincture of can
tharides
Mix thoroughly and rub in well.
In addition to this treatment the
hair should be thoroughly brushed,
using long, regular strokes.
An Improvement will be noted in
a short time.

Waistcoats made of narrow stripe
pique are smart additions to the
serge or gabardine street suit. They
are often embroidered in white cot
ton, sometimes scalloped about the
edges. One of the sms rtest, however,
is made without embroidery, says an

white braid. The waistcoat buttons
high in the neck and all the way
down to waist with big white crochet
buttons. Two patch pockets, bound
with the braid, finish it.
