now and then. The story, bright and
laughable throughout, is packed with
the grand adventures that a boy like Bill
is able to crowd into what appears to an
outsider to be the barest and dullest of
occasions. The triumph of this story is
that William and Bill, particularly Bill,
have pretty much their own way with it.
The writer's, keen to the situation, merely
choose from the excess of material at
hand such parts as lend themselves most
efficiently to the story structure. This
is not only splendid story about two
kinds of boy, but it Is also very life
like picture of TWO kinds of mother.

sighed.

best features OF her mothers family, with
few of her own thrown in. and they
were all of the kind that no amount of
work and hardship could destroy.
However. Hetty had overlooked the con-
descension and gone to Mrs. Sherman s
with a heart full of gratitude. just as
she had gone once before on q tenderly
remembered occasion. She had expected
to find Mrs. Sherman alone with her
servants, but at an unexpected moment
her son came walking in. Hetty had
never seen Jack Sherman, though she had
heard something about him from his
mother. He had been about the world a
good deal, and just lately he had set

her, Jack Sherman seemed to be the
right man. OF course. she knew that
nothing would come Of it. Mrs. Sherman
had frequently said that she had Jacks
wife picked out for him, and had once
called Hetty's attention, behind Jack s
back, with significant blinks and motions,
to an English-looking girl on remarka-

THERE have been some interesting

Handicraft School on H street near 18th
street These have been the work Of
Miss Catherine Penn Crawford Of War
renton. Va, and were done in the Norwe-
gian style recently revived by Mrs Frida
Koehler-Hansen Of Christiania. The art
of picture weaving was carried on in
Norway as far back as the sixth century.
It gradually, however, died out and was
nearly forgotten. Through the efforts of
Mrs. Koehler-Hansen and the co-opera-
ton of the Norwegian Museum 1t is now
brought to a perfection heretofore I'M
known.
Norwegian loomwork differs from that
practiced in the rest of the world by hav-
ing a stitch which forms tapestry, COW
ering entirely the foundation threads and
appearing in completion the same on both
sides. The making of the yarn used In
these weavings has furnished Of late
years new industry for the women of
Norway. who card and twist 1t and dye it
in fast colors of fine range. This branch
of the artistic crafts is protected by the
government of Norway and fostered by
the king and queen. But, Furthermore.
Mrs. Koehler-Hansen's weavings are to
be found in the museums of Paris Ham
burg Zurich and Turin as well as in the
private collections of royal personages.
Miss Crawford has completely mastered
the art and has excellent results to show.

Try to realize words, especially the

One way to do this is to create by your
imagination a picture that shall express
the word. Make your own cinemato-

yourself q little by your own fancy ana
you will not be so helpless-dependent
upon other people and outside things for
amusement.
Here are some hints. Start from them
and create your own scenes.
