says that little girls of her station in life mustn't do a thing so ordinary and dirty as to play in the mud.
 "So, you see. my dear little girl you have many, many things to make you happy. if you will only let your- self be aware of them. Just think, You can eat 'all-day-suckers' and ger yourself all sticky and Grandma doesn't scold bit. And, unlike Mar ion, you do not have to see a doctor every morning and have awful tubes and sprays filled with nasty medicine run down your throat"
 And you can make mud pies to your hearts content, while poor little Edith cannot make even one.
 And as for Mary Allison? Why just try and imagine how miserable you would feel if your dear Grandma should suddenly stop kissing you and betting you and spelling you and tuck ing you into bed every night and hold ing your hand and telling you stories and-and-doing all the thousand and one things she does for you every day.
 NO, little girl, you have no reason to envy the other little girls-for they envy you, in some one point at least. So-

When French Girls Learn To "Kecp House"

TIT isn't entirely a case of "readin'
 and writin' and 'rithmetic" for
 H little girls in the primary schools
 " of Paris. the capital of France. Instead. they have one and sometimes two lessons each week in what grown ups call domestic economy" but which we will call by the simpler name of Keeping house."
 In these lessons, the teacher tells the little girls how to purchase food, fuel and all other supplies needed in house and how to buy them most economically and wisely. She also in- structs them as to the necessity of cleanliness in the household and ini- tiates them into the difficult art of keeping account of all household ex- penditures. etc.
 There is one school in particular in Paris which gives quite special in- struction to about eighty pupils. di- vided into eight classes of ten stu dents each. And this is a free school. too. Moreover. the municipality pays each girl about twelve cents a day as working capital, while she is in the school-which Is about twenty-four days each year.
 Now let us watch one of these
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-31

classes at work. Since each girl re- ceives about twelve cents per day to work with. the ten pupils would have combined sum of $1.20 to expend during the day. So, five of them, un- der the guidance of the teacher, take this $1.20 and go to market.
 There they buy meat, vegetables. butter cheese, bread, etc., in small quantities, of course. And all the while, you may be sure, the teacher gives them practical instruction as to the price and quality of the purchases.
 But the five other girls left "at home" in the class room have by no means been idle. On the contrary. they have been as busy as bees clean ing the kitchen. the linen and the pots and pans and preparing to cook and serve a luncheon of the good things the marketers have purchased.
 And when the children who have been to market return, they watch the ones who stayed at home" at their work, while the teacher criticizes and instructs at every opportunity, She also advises them as to the nutritiye values of various foods and shows them the best ways of preparing the various dishes.

But when Uncle Will sent her tho sailor-boy doll, on her fourth birthday, she just seemed to love him right away. All day long she carried him around and each night she would tuck him snugly away in his little crib, before she herself would even think of going to bed. And she spent hours talking to that sailor boy just as any little girl does with her own. favorite dolly.
 .Boy-dol.' was the only name she ever gave him.
 "'What is your dolls name, Jennie, visitor would ask.
 'Boy-doll.' your Aunt Jen would reply promptly.
 "'Yes. know it's a boy doll.' the visitor, perhaps. would persist. But what is his name?'
 And then little Jennie would re- ply. with a half-angry look in her eyes. 'Boy-doll-Boy- -doll.
 Whenever Uncle Will came to see us. Aunt Jcn would talk with him by the hour about the wonderful things Boy-doll could do. And Uncle Will would listen gravely for a while and pretend to be vastly impressed. Then he would begin to have a little fun with Jennie-for he was a dreadful. tease. you know.
 Hum-m-m,' he would say. shak- ing his head solemnly. Wonderful. wonderful! But do you think he could count up to one hundred, Jennie!'
 And without so much as mo- ment's hesitation. Jennie would re- ply that she was certain he could and that all Uncle Will had to do was to keep quiet and listen while he did so. Then, without the shadow of a smile. little Jennie would bend her head until her ear was close to Boy dolls mouth and listen intently. Then. after a while, she would exclaim 'ninety-eight. ninety-nine-one hun dred!' And Uncle Will would quicker his lips and whistle in amazement.
 My. my, Jennie.' he would say. what a wonderful boy doll he is. Goodness me. but he must have lots

A Lesson in COntentment

~ TITLE RUTH and her Grand
 mother lived in a tiny frame
 house set far back from the A street and nicely sheltered and shaded by several big oak trees. Now this comfortable little home of theirs was truly a stranger in 8 strange land: for all around it were large and fash tonable dwellings of brick and stone and marble, the homes of very, very wealthy people who, in recent years. niid f1ocked there to make this fash lonable section of the city
 Indeed, the little house was quite put of place among such gorgeous neighbors. But then, you see, 1t had been there when all around it was lust "commons" and woods and no streets had been cut through or pave ments laid. So it felt it had a right to be there. Eventually, of course, It would be torn down to make room for some palatial home; but until then It was quite happy in sheltering the little girl and her kind old Grand mother.
 Grandma could remember how, when it was first built Ruth's father and mother had thought it the most beautiful home imaginable. But then, you see, times and the house had Changed along with Grandma's for tune.
 With the death of Ruth's father and mother, within a year after she was born, it fell upon Grandma to care tor the little orphan. And she found This no easy task, though the home was hers and she had an income just large enough to meet their living ex- penses, with the strictest of economy, Ind Grandma was thankful for that.
 But little Ruth could not under btand such things Indeed, she eouldn't see at all why she should hot have as many fine toys and clothes md ponies as the little girls who lived In the big homes nearby and whom phe met now and then of an after boon when their nurses were not watching or were indifferent to the lact that their charges were playing with ''the little poor girl who lives h that funny little toy house." One afternoon, as the sun was set ling and Grandma had placed her thair so she could watch 1t and think pf the many and strange things old people do think of, little Ruth came mto the room. quietly and sadly.
 "Gran'ma," she said. with a sigh,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-31

why can't I have little pony and cart like Mary Allison?"
 Grandma regarded her a moment In amazement.
 Pony and cart? Sakes alive" she exclaimed, as though she could scarcely believe here ears. And who, dear, is Mary Allison?"
 She's the little girl with golden curls and such pretty clothes, Gran'- ma," Ruth replied. s'She lives in the big house over on the corner"
 Oh" said Grandma. And then again, "Oh!"
 "And-and. Gran'ma, she comes out every afternoon in-in a new dress" !" Ruth went on, without waiting for an answer. And she has just heaps and heaps of toys that you wind up and they run by themselves and-and Eve lyn has big boxes of candy-and Mar ions Mamma takes her riding in an otermobile every morning-and Edith goes to see the trained dogs and sea lions at the theatre every week-and -and-oh, they have just everything they wantl"
 And, with that, poor little Ruth broke down and began to weep softly.
 Mercy sakes! Mercy sakes!" said Grandma to herself. softly, several times. How can I explain 1t to her! Mercy sakesl"
 Little Ruth dashed the tears out of her eyes, gulped back a sob or two and leaned both her elbows on Grandma's comfortable knee.
 There, there, child," said Grandma, as she patted her little granddaughter on the head. "All those things cost money, dear, and your poor old grand ma has just enough to buy something for us to eat and something for us to wear. Yes, dear, if we had money you could have all the things little Mary Allison and the other little rich girls have-but money isn't every thing, as you will learn later in life, and you can be just as happy as any of them if you will only make up your mind to be.
 "Someday, maybe, when a rich man comes along and buys our house and ground so he can build a big. ex- pensive home in its place-then. maybe, daughter. we will have money enough to buy you pretty dresses and but come now, you mustn't think of such things! Besides. it Is time to help your old Granny set the table for tea and put the biscuits in the

to the nurse. Nora, it is Mary's bed time.'
 And, Ruth, you remember the It- tie girl who lives in the big. white- marble house on the opposite corner? Well. little Evelyn tells you about the gorgeous candy she eats, doesn't she. and sometimes she gives you a piece of it? But do you know that ever since she saw you eating 'an-all-day- sucker she has just begged her Mamma to buy her one and has wept bitter tears because her Mamma told her she could not eat such cheap can dy? And. if the truth be told, she is more eager to eat some of your kind of candy than you are to feast upon hers that comes in a big pasteboard box all tied round with ribbon"
 The Good Fairy smiled sweetly and crossed over and sat at the foot of the bed.
 Every morning you see little black eyed Marion enter the big gray auto mobile with her Mamma, don't your" she continued. And you try to im- agine how nice it must be to ride in such a wonderful thing as an automo- bile? But do you know that every morning that automobile takes little Marion straight to the doctors office, where she has to have all sorts of un- pleasant things done to her weak throat?
 And Edith goes to the theatre every week to see the trained animals per- form, doesn't she? Now that Is fine. isn't it? Indeed yes-and little Edith enjoys it, oh, so much. But what would you think if I told you tha; there is something Edith would find vastly more enjoyable if her Mamma or Nurse would only let her do it? Well, there is!
 Do you remember how, nearly every morning, you make mud pies and mud men and build mud houses out in the yard and then let the sun bake them and make them hard? Now little Edith saw you doing so sev- eral weeks ago. And right this af- ternoon she would thousand times rather come and make mud pies with you than go to see the animals. for she sees the animals every week. but she's never made mud pies. But her Mamma

The Boy Doll.

ETHINK I shall tell you about your # Aunt Jen and her boy-doll, to-
 night. Dorothy said Mamma, af- U ter her little daughter had snug gled under the covers and settled back to hear the Sleepy-time story. Tt wasn't really a wonderful doll at all but it was boy one; and he did look spick and span in his sailor suit, with round sailor hat on top of his yellow curls. He was a big boy too, for he came almost to my shoulder. and I wasn't small child, for a ten year-old, either.
 Strange to say, your Aunt Jen had never liked dolls; in fact until the boy doll came, she wouldn't so much as look at one. She much preferred to run and race out-of-doors and play tag and 'hie-spy' and those other games that no girl can really enjoy unless she Is a tom-boy at heart. Indeed, Aunt Jen thought such things as tea-parties and playing mother with doll babies very. very silly games.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-31

envious and disgusted with your lot, just think of my name. for the mere recalling of it will work wonders for you and for all discontented people.
 T am the Good Fairy of Content ment! And I keep all who know me and remember my teachings happy and contented. Good night, dear little Ruth. Sweet dreams!"
 Mercy sakes!" exclaimed Ruth, just as she had heard her Grandma exclaim whenever she was surprised. T wonder if I was dreaming. Good Fairy of Contentment-Goo Fairy of Content-Good Fairy of-of-of-"
 But the tired little lids had closed over the sleepy little eyes and Ruth was again in the Land of Nod.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-31

And why didn't Gran ma have lots and lots of money-the mothers and the fathers and the grandmas of all the other little boys and girls in the neigh borhood had money; now why couldn't her own Gran'ma have 1t, too!
 Presently, there came a scratching noise over in the corner of the room.
 "Oh!" gasped Ruth, growing cold all over and smuggling down in the covers. Its a mouse-I just know 1t is! Oh!"
 But 1t wasn't; for almost instantly a soft, golden glow suffused the room and out of 1t stepped the most won- derful little Fairy one ever saw. Her garments were of silk, trimmed here and there with clusters of dia- monds, and cloak of pure, simmer ing cloth of gold hung from her tiny shoulders. On her head was a diadem of brilliants. with a large diamond star pendant over her forehead In her hand she held a wand. with a strange, dazzling light on the end of it that seemed to grow now bright, l now dim, as the Fairy waved it. "No, no, Ruth," laughed the Fairy in tone so gentle and sweet that no
 one could have been frightened, I'm not a mouse-but Good Fairy. And
 I've come to show you what a silly,
 foolish little girl you are to sigh and | be miserable over the fact that you
 haven't all the pretty things Mary AL
 lison and the other little girls in the
 neighborhood enjoy. Now, dear, just
 lie still and listen to me.
 1 "I shall tell you first about Mary Allison. She has pretty frocks and an adorable little pony-yes. But do | you know that she also has a mother whom she doesn't see, sometimes, for | days and days at time! Why? Be- cause this mother of hers is more in- l terested in her teas and receptions and going about than she Is in Mary Alli-

oven. Mercy sakes. what is the world coming to!''
 And that night after Ruth had said her prayers and Grandma had tucked the covers in under her pretty little chin, she lay there staring into the dark and thlnking-a long time.
 Why couldn't she have all those pretty things the other children had?

 Sometimes, at night, little Mary Allison cries herself to sleep wishing. oh. so hard, that her Mamma would come and tuck her away in bed and hold her hand until she fell asleep, instead of calmly kissing her good night at the nursery door and saving
