Evening Chit-Chat
BY Ruth Cameron

E7ITH the one exception of relig
lvkIl ious intolerance, l think the
INI popular prejudice that most
luI exasperates me is that narrow
minded. unthinking prejudice
against manual labor as compared with
brain work.
AS II one could separate the two IN
the first placel AS If it did not re-
mental qualities, and what is more
certain fine qualities of character, to
do most kinds of manual labor?
Every time l do any considerable
piece of manual labor 1 am impressed
anew by the patience, the perseverance,
the painstaking which is required to
do these things well.
A friend of mine who frequently
complains of the price charged at the
garage for cleaning his automobile. de-
cided the other day to clean it himself,
in the early part of Saturday afternoon
and take his family out for a ride later
on. He did not go to ride. There was
just time enough left for a much need
ed bath before dinner, when he had
finished with the machine. And the
worst of it was that although he had
finished with it and it had certainly
finished him, he had by no means prop
erly finished the job of cleaning it.
Here was a spot of mud which he
had missed; there a bar left unclean-
ed; he had not removed the tarnish
from several of the brass fittings, and
had completely forgotten to wash the
glass in his lights. He would certainly
have complained of any garage which
had turned his machine out in such
shape.
81 wouldn't have believed there were
so many parts to the blame thing he
said.
OF course he wouldn't. None of US
ever do realize the patience and well
directed energy it takes to perform q
thousand and one manual services
which we receive as matter of course
from day to day. until We try to dc
some of them ourselves.
You think you are vastly superior
to a carpenter, don't you, Mr.. Profess

classes things worth knowing quite as

proper order.


Admonished by papa to cast up her
account with life and try to figure out
her aims and her duties, Peggy did the
most natural thing in the world. She
went to her room and had good cry.
The very idea! Wasn't 1t perfectly
mean to spoil a good summers fun by
asking a girl to think of her duty?
Dutyl Peggy hated the word with a
scorching hatred. Could anything be
more tiresome?
OF course, Peggy expected. in com
mon with other girls, to marry at the
appropriate time. but for the present
she sincerely believed that the world
owed her a cerefree existence during
the butterfly period. Only a sour old
trump would deny a girl the joyous
days at the threshold of life.
Peggy decided to mention this point
in her next talk with papa. She would
ask him if he would cut short her girl
hood enjoyment. That would be a
poser for papa, who ought to be the
last one on earth to be narrow.
When it came to consideration of
mother, Peggy, found it not so easy
to excuse herself without thought
she had permitted mother to fetch and
carry for her, and in return she had
done nothing at all Peggys cheeks

Sandbile Gamse-for Girls

~ o YOU remember the sand pile we
I'D talked about a while agof How
~ it could be made in yard or on a
porch or even on kitchen table (with
the legs sawed shorter) by covering
the table with oilcloth.
If you made one (and I'm hoping
you did, / am sure you have had
many jolly hours playing in the clean
white sand.
We have talked about a number of
boys games for the sandpile, forts,
farms and the like but we have never
talked about really girls plays. So
girls, this is your day.
What do you think you would like
the best of all?
Wouldn't you like to make beau

and lovely clear lakes? Of course you
would
Clear off your sandpile, see that it is
smooth and clean then begin to collect
material
First we want lakes; can YOU get a
couple of little round mirrors = the
kind that have advertisements on the
back? Or perhaps your mother knows
where there are some cracked or
broken pieces of looking glass she will
let you have. If you can't get glass
perhaps your mother will loan you a
bright pie pan which you can fill with
water and set eozily down in the sand.
Or if you can't get the bright pie pan
don't be discouraged, bright tin foil
(such as comes around yeast eakes)
runpled into waves, makes beautiful
little lakes!
Then YOU want some tooth picks,
some leaves, a few blocks, several clean
little stones, a pair of scissors and a
few old magazines and you are ready
for a whole days play.
First smooth the sand into low roll
ing hills and level valleys. In the val
lays place your lakes-perhaps you have
two or three little laxes-perhaps you
have only one big one, plan it anyway
you wish only remember that the lakes
belong in the valleys.
Now plant your trees. If you can
find pictures of trees in your magazines
use those, If not use lesves-resl

Tho Reason Why.

The Reason Why.
(From Judge.)
I'm tired of all motor cars,
So much so that they set me fret
ting;
I'm tired of roof garden stars,
Their singing and their pirouetting.
The tango parlors round the town,
L must confess, ne'er make me
CHEEKY;
The summer girls excites a frown
And makes me nothing else but
weary.
I'm tired of all summer sports
No matter what the summer outing,
You'll find me always out of sorts,
And my fatigue there is no doubling.
These things do make me tired-oh!
Because I read so much about them
Alas! my funds are always low,
And l am forced to do without them!
