what it was all about, but wanted
to be in it, whatever the excite

So they all went in moth r Bears

cushioned window seat, and nurse
Nellie sat on the floor with Buster,
while mother Dear took the low
rocker and looked out of the WIN

of being home again.

mother Dear, EIGHT pounds and

then. / think that by the time
you've grown up they'll be gray,
and III be glad of it, for gray is
the color of courage, of endurance"
What kind of hair did I have?"
whispered Dorothy, entranced. "Oh,
mother, it don't seem as if ] ever
could have been as little as that"
And she held her hands about a
foot apart and tried to picture the
smallness of her baby hands, and
head and feet.
"Your hair was--black, and Nas
straight as poker" said mother
Dear smiling as she looked back
over the years. 81 remember how
disappointed | was, and the doctor
said: ooh. she'll lose all of that and
new hair'll come in
"'And perhaps it'll be curly

And were you glad?" Dorothy
was quite breathless as she leaned
forward.
"Ridiculously happy" laughed
Mother Dear, "and happier still on

Dorothy rested her chin on her
hand.

even sure she knew what one was.
The next eccentricity my car de-

easily when the engine was cold.
Even when I alternately primed and

"I don't know what is the matter
with it, said Mary irritably. EVERY
body else's car starts up so easily.
Just a touch on the crank and it's
off. 1t does look so terribly conspicu-
Gus and cheap, as IL we had an old
worn-out car to wait while you crank
and crank and get SO red in the

Terribly conspicuous and cheap!
There was no thought of my hard
work and discomfort. I went on
cranking with a viciousness born of
evaporation and grievance.
"And look how easily father starts, y

That Cantaloupe Seed Bag

Dear Margery Doom:
[ am sending you the directions
for making seed bags, requested in
Friday nights paper.
Wash the cantaloupe seeds care
fully and dry thoroughly on
stretched out piece of thin cloth
where they will get plenty of air.
When ready to use provide your
self with saucer with a little
water in 1t and soak the seeds for a
while to soften them, so that the
needle may be passed through with
out splitting them. Do not soak
them long. They would become too
soft. Start with fifty beads in the
saucer and soak about that many at
time.
Used bead needle No 16 and fine
linen thread.
Begin the reticule bag at the
centre by stringing twenty seeds
and twenty beads, alternating. Put
the needle through the pointed end
of the seed. Tie and cut the thread
and be sure to make a square knot.
Begin the next row by passing the
needle through the thick end of one
of the seeds, then through the
pointed end of fresh seed, through
one bead, through the pointed end

Collars of Chiffon

There are many styles of collars on
the new frocks, and not the least in
teresting is a standing, straight chif-
fon collar that fits snugly about the
neck. 1t is attached to a frock that
has no yoke in front, however, but
deep v-shaped opening. So there is q

chusetts woman makes the following
suggestion:
"A friend of mine, who has three
hungry boys of different ages who

Bad Compilations. Are

Every woman has 1t in her own hands

plexion. No matter how soiled, faded or
coarse the cuticle, ordinary mercolized

will substitute a skin as soft, clear and
lovely as q childs. The action of the
wax is not drastic, but gentle and agree
able. Minute particles of scarf skin
come Off day by day, yet no evidence OF
the treatment is discernible, other than
the gradual complexional improvement.
One ounce of mercolized wax, proeprable
at any drug store, suffices for most
cases. 1t is put on at bedtime like cold
warm water. II is certain method of
discarding freckles, liver spots, moth

but Mary isn't a saint and Mary
isn't martyr and Mary isn't a fool
also Mary isn't so very much of a
genius She'll never set either the
Atlantic or the Pacific ocean on fire,
either on the stage or off.
Mary is going to be married-one
of these days. Mary is one of the
early marriage sort. and I can't see
what particular difference 1t makes
as far as her character is concerned
whether she does her dancing off the
stage or on it for the next few years.
For that is all that Mary knows
how to do--dancing and the things
that go with it.
Mary can dance and Mary can dress
and Mary can smile and Mary can
fiirt and Mary can make eyes modish-
ly and undress quite fashionably-
there is nothing in the world the mat
ter with Mary, and never will be.
Mary will look out for herself, in the
theatre and out of 1t.
Mary Is deeply interested in just
one thing in the world-in Mary.
She'll be the same sort of person In
the theatre that she is in her
mothers living room.

Tango Bracelets and
Jeweled Glove Buttons

Have you seen the new tango
bracelets? A series of from three to
eight narrow gold or silver bracelets
are Joined either by plain clasps or
bands enriched with jewels. The ton
neau shaped watch has been received
with much enthusiasm This is worn
as often with a soft leather or MORE
wristlet as with a flexible gold or
platinum bracelet. The watches are
now made detachable so that they
can also be worn on a chain, says
an exchange.
A rather extravagant fancy is the
use of jeweled sets as glove buttons.
They usually match the color of the
gown and can easily be attached to
long evening gloves.

II site to consist of at least Ave
hundred acres. The commission, how
ever, was able to drive q much better
bargain than evidently contemplated,
because 1t bought more than three
times as much land as the minimum
amount proposed in the statute, and
for sum of $4,000 smaller than the
appropriation. The average price paid
for the land was $36.75 an acre.
Right of way land to the extent of
twelve acres was obtained without
cost to the state.
The state is to obtain possession of
the land by August 1. 1t probably
will be several months after that be-
fore the institution will be ready to
receive prisoners. The new institution
will reduce greatly the number of
prisoners sent to county jails. Pris-
oners sentenced to Jail for more than
thirty days will be removed to the
penal farm to serve the term, and it
Is expected that the earnings from
their labor will place the institution
practically on a self-sustaining basis.
The land selected for the site is of
varied topography, gardening and gen.
eral agricultural, although it will have
to be enriched to increase it's produc-
tiveness. Stock raising also may be
carried on with success. Mitchell
limestone for building, fertilizing and
road building purposes underlie the
land, and may be obtained with little
excavating. Sand and gravel also are
found, and there is considerable tim
Der. The water supply is satisfactory,
both as to quantity and quality. There
also is clay for brick and tile mate
rails.
