In her minds eye Dorothy could
see the sparkling ocean and the sun

white-sailed ships and stately
steamers far out at sea, the groups
of tiny tots with their pals ana
shovels, building marvellous forts In

gaily jumping" the teasing waves,
and all the other interesting things
that help to make the seashore so
fascinating.

Morris's Good Friends

Once there was little boy named
Morris Jacobowitz. He was very
stupid and lazy, and could not learn
his lessons easily. One day his
teacher, Miss Hewitt, called him to
her and said: Morris, if you do not
learn your lesson for tomorrow, I
will send note home"
Morris was very tired from playing
ball that night, for, while he could
not learn his lessons, he was an ex-
cellent ball player, so he forgot to
study.
He fell asleep and when he awoke
in the middle of the night he found
the room full of light, and two little
dwarfs were working noiselessly ata
the table under the lamp.
Morris saw they were doing his
home work, and just as the lazy boy
was about to doze off again the
dwarfs jumped down off the table and
the light went out.
The next day Morris found all his
home work neatly folded in h books,
and as he looked at it, he understood
plainly about everything and won
dered why the work had seemed so
hard before.
Now Morris was not unintelligent,
but he was terribly lazy, and this
made the other scholars dislike him,

AS Morris came to school Ruth Pat.

would make fun of him. Ruth really
liked Morris, though, and she was
unprepared for what happened.

Certainly, Ruth, dear and drew out
his papers and explained every step
of the example plainly.
Morris made a sensation that day,
and even Miss Hewitt praised him.
He began to Ike learning his lessons
and telling important things to the
class.
The next night Norris tried to
study geography, but he could not
arithmetic was hard, too. At mid
night, as before. the dwarfs came
and did all his work for him. Nor

ever before, and the days after he

simp was now at the head of his
| class.
Then the visits of the dwarfs
| stopped, and Morris, not wishing to
| appear foolish again, worked hard
and got his lessons without them

| After school, a few weeks later,
Miss Hewitt asked him how he sud-

borne away for many miles before
morning There were but two courses
left open--either to row for the smack
or find their anchorage.
Mark Shelby suggested the latter
course.
"As near as can reckon" he said,
"our anchorage is about half mile
to the BASTARD. We are headed in
that direction now. So, if we keep to
our course, we have fair chance OF
picking it up"
THAT seems reasonable" said
Tommy.
He returned to his place in the
bow to keep sharp lookout for the
anchored keg, while Mark resumed
his rowing. They proceeded slowly
and carefully, so as to keep the dory
from swerving from her course, but
in this they failed, for after covering
distance that should have brought
them to the wished for spot they
found nothing. Turning about they
went over the ground again and kept
on repeating this maneuver until they
realized its utter hopelessness.

Well Worth Knowing

Even with rubber buttons, stocking
garters will cause runners in silk
stockings. There are two ways to
prevent runners, and together they
are doubly effective.
Put small black tape loops around
the tops. one for each garter. Slip
the buttons through the loops and
then fasten them with the clasp.
Fasten the loops to the stocking with
the machine stitching to make them
stronger. Then put about the stock
ing a row of stitching about an inch
below the garter top. Stretch the
gauze of the stocking as you are
stitching it or it will bind the leg. If
runners occur they will not go beyond
the stitched line.
