Let Children Write

Perhaps many a poor penman would
have written a more creditable hand
if in childhood he had had a desk Of
his own. in a suitable place, provided
with materials for writing at such
times as he chose.
1t would have seemed an art more
worth cuitiyating under such condi-
tons than when he had to write on
his knees or on a Uttered table.
Every child's room should have a
private desk or table where he may
write. Here he should have a stock Of
pens, penholders, pencils, pads and
writing paper, and he should be
. trained to use these materials fire.
auently. says the Mothers Magazine,
Such a bit of property helps him to
cultivate neatness and order.
If he evidences slovenliness at first
j the mother should urge him to order
illness and inspect his desk until he
has attained neatness.
IT should be impressed upon him
that this is part of his training, that
as a man he will always need TO keep
his papers in place and In order, and
that if he is to be in the employ of
others 1t will be to his advantage to
have formed good habits in such mat
lders.
z The child will take pride In posses
sion of his own desk and pens, and
this will lead him to the cultivation
of the use of pen and Ink.

Garden Advice

Clip privet hedges to keep them
trim and tidy, and If fresh plants are
wanted later now is the time to cut
off young shoots. They should be
about five inches in length, and will
root readily particularly the varie-
gated kind) II set in shady border,
and will be fit for planting out in the
autumn, writes contributor of the
Trenton Daily Gazette.
Box edgings for garden beds are all
ways quaint and pretty, but are often
spoiled by ugly gaps. They are pro-
duced in most instances by lack of
moisture soon after planting. During
dry weather the young edgings. plant
ed in the spring must be well watered
Indeed, care must be taken that no
newly planted shrub suffer from
thirst.
This is the time to prune lilacs.
Leave the young shoots for blossom
ing next spring, cutting as far as pos
sible only those which have Powered.
Dress the roots literally with farm
yard manure.
1t is noticeable that carnation
blooms are frequently Disappointing
ly poor and badly developed even
from prime plants. In many cases
this is owing to too late stalking.
Early and careful attention in this
matter generally insures large and
healthy flowers.
Pansy growers must not neglect to
gather the seed-pods, as seed bearing
binders the Towering OF plants.

pouring. l CHANGED to see an old
man who was feeble and wringing
wet.

The Last Cruise of "0ld
Reliable n
BY HOWARD FALK

Since his last adventures George
Belmont had come to believe so i'm
plicitly In his craft, of which he was
one-third owner, that, on consultation
with Captains Lee and Carwell (the
other one-third owners), he renamed
his ship "Old Reliable"
Little did Mr.. Belmont know that
this was to be one of his last sea
adventures. The Belmont was on a
voyage to Wales so that Mr.. Belmont
could visit relatives at Cardigan,
near the Cardigan River. The voyage
to Wales seemed to be "hoodooed"
because of the many mishaps. The
engine had broken down twice; they
were caught in a gale a little south
of New Foundland; waterspout well
nigh wrecked them, causing the death
of Mate Jesseon (Jesshun), and nu-
merous storms bothered them, but
"Old Reliable" weathered them all,
but for the last time.
When within twenty four hours OF
their destination a storm caught them
that tossed them about like an egg
shell. Barrels of oil soothed the
troubled waters, but for time only.
In the grip of the storm the ship had
been safe only because of the oil.

nearer and nearer to the breakers OF
rocky Wales.
Fishermen, seeing the plight of the
vessel, rushed to the beach with
megaphones to comfort the doomed
ones, for no ship could rescue them
because of the awful waves and
breakers.
Anxiously the populace strained
their eyes. The ship was doomed.
But George Belmont, the only sur
vivor of his ship, who, in singing the
hymns, thought death was near, was
wrong
Early the next morning a fisherman
stumbled over a man lying with his
right arm mangled and torn, nall
dead, on the beach. He was quickly
| taken to hospital block distant.
Almost all of the bodies of the crew
were found dead, Captain Lee IN
cluded, and buried.
For two weeks Mr.. Belmont lay II
bed semi-conscious, and after years
illness recovered. He did not lose his
arm. but his thumb was gone. Mean
while, he had told his story.

Cleaning a Straw Hat

Dear Miss Doom;
Please tell me how to clean
white straw hat that has become
yellow from the sun. e. f.
am publishing the best method
to clean white chip straw hat.
Also several ways of renovating the
straw hat at the end Of the season.
To clean white straw hat scrub
with tooth brush or nail brush
dipped in a weak solution OF oxahc
acid and water, then with clear wa
ter, not wetting more than neces-
sary Then scatter precipitate or
sulphur and lay in the sun. Brush
off with a clean brush when dry
and your hat will be clean and
white.
A black Milan, or hemp braid, or
horse hair, clean with nap side or
velvet dipped in alcohol and rubbed
thoroughly with the tips Of the
fingers,
Black chip. give coat Of bottle
shoe backing.
Colored hats, clean with gasoline
and a piece of velvet.
Faded hats can be tinted with
dye made of oil paints and gaso-
line.
The only remedy for chip hats
that are sunburned or faded is TO
give them a coat of polish or take
them to a professional
White, colored, and black lace, or
net hats can be cleaned by dipping
the entire hat, devoid of trimming,
in clean gasolene and drying out

Among the puzzling things In q
mothers life are the various and
varied duties confronting her: duties
to her Maker, to herself, to her hus-
band and family, to her neighbors. to
her servants, to her community and
to her State. Multifarious as they
are, they do not conflict. They work
together like the cogs of heavy ma
chinery.
Her task is to see that her vision is
unclouded, that her good sense in
stead of her wild emotions controls,
for upon her notions of duty and her
faithfulness in obeying them, depend
momentous consequences.
Mothers are notably conscientious
and faithful, and always will be, sc
long as motherhood and childhood
exist. Yet 1t will do no harm, and
some possible good, to remind our
selves afresh of some of the duties to
childhood.
The first thing that can be done fol-
the child is to provide a good inherit
ance, mental, moral and physical

Next time" said nurse Nellie,
you must not get excited when a
crab gets on your bait; you must
pull the line up slowly, and when
the meat reaches the top I'll shove
the net under and catch him. Stop
crying, dear. and try again. And
she gave Davies shoulder a COM
forting pat.
Nurse Nellie and the children
were Grabbing. And Davies first
crab had been scared away, partly
because he jerked the line and
partly because he and Dorothy
talked so much.
Now he dried his tears and said;
"W-well, Dorothy needn't talk to
me all the time, need she?"
Dorothy promised not to say an
other word, and the grabbing be-
gan in earnest. Big crabs and little
crabs and middle-sized crabs found
their way into the basket Nurse
Nellie covered them with wet sea-
weed to keep them from Jumping
out.
Once she permitted Davie to han
die the net, but he became so ex-
cited when he leaned over to scoop
in the crab that he teetered back
and forth and nearly fell into the
water.
You'd better sit still II that is
the best you can do" said nurse
Nellie, and Davie, badly scared, was
quite willing to do So Dorothy,
being older, could handle the net
with more skill, and managed to
scoop in four crabs-three little
ones and big one.
After a while, mother Dear, who
was in the pavilion with baby BUS
ter, beckoned, holding up her watch
"Oh, dearl She means it's time
for us to co. said Dorothy, pulling
a very long face, land we're having
su-uch g. good time"
We'll" nurse Nellie rose and
helped Davie to his feet, well
have to come again some time.
Davie. you may help me to carry
the basket. If you'll promise to keep
in the centre of the dock and not
go near the edges"
Davie quickly promised, delighted
at the idea of helping to carry those
wriggling, wicked-looking crabs.
You carry the net, Dorothy.
well leave the lines for someone
else to enjoy" said nurse Nellie.
Dorothy did as she was told.
Wont father be surprised,
thnughl He didn't even know vre
were going crabbing!" she ex-
claimed, giving a joyful little skip
at the thought, "he just loves crabs,
father does. They're green now, but

Fashion Jottings

The big neckwear novelty is the
Gladstone collar, high in back ana
pointed over the ears. 1t may be
easily made by using a fine organdie
handkerchief and half yard of fine
wire boning.
Put a dot in the centre of the hand
skerchief with a lead pencil and mark
!, a straight line from two opposite COR
2 ners to the centre.
Cut out this triangular piece. Then
: cut a small semi circle with the for
amer dot as centre. making place for
= the collar to fit the neck snugly. Sew
strips of wire collar supporters from
the neck circle diagonally across to
= both corners of the back and bend
ESQ that the collar stands up and out.
The raw cut front may be neatly
s. hemmed or bound with a bias strip
of the same material.
Unusually strong representation is

Among other important floral trim
y mings are large pansies and peoples
made entirely of velvet or else of vel

In some of the extreme types these
pansies measure as much as six
inches in diameter.

Plum Marmalade


II the plums are thoroughly ripe
and are large. soft and sweet,
they will require no water; but the
seeds and skins should be removed.
Place the fruit in a crock, set on
the back of the stove where 1T will
heat slowly to extract Juice. Strain
this off through a sieve, then add
two-thirds as much sugar as pulp.
Cook slowly, stirring frequently
and we'll. In twenty minutes or so
1t should be thick. Fruit juice may
be added or not, as liked.
