Just Little Stories

Archie F. Adams tells the following
story: A South Sea Island trader had
been accustomed for years to visit the
little island Kingdoms of the south Pa
cifc, where with painted baubles he
purchased copra, pearls and other valu-
able articles. On one occasion he Sc
cured an old second hand automobile,
which he presented for a collection of
jewels worth a fortune to certain
king. The machine, which had been
painted enroute by a gifted sailor,
looked like circus bandwagon. When
the gift was received the king request
ed that he be taught how to run it.
The trader took the wheel with his
royal friend at his side. While the
lesson was being given an accident
happened TO the steering gear and the
machine passed over one of the kings
fat wives. 1t tickled him profoundly,
and he at once pointed out others of
his harem for the same operation. The
trader refused to be chauffeur for the
manning of the kings less favored
spouses, but when he sailed away with
his trophy the machine was still doing
business to the amusement of his royal
highness.

HTHE etiquette of the ballroom has changed amazingly since my young
 days" said the maiden great-aunt,
 with a shrug of her shoulders and
 glance that was supposed to be severe but only succeeded in being indulgent Her remark was made when a certain young undergraduate familiarly known as Edward just home from college called for the half dozenth time to practice dancing with her great-niece Millcent. By the hour together they did tango and other steps. but principally tango of the diluted type per mitted by Millicent's mother.
 Edward was Millcent's winter dance part ner. and really their steps went so well to- gether that all who saw them dance de- clared it was pleasure to do so.
 The maiden great-aunt was rendered aghast at first by the arrangement She employed old-fashioned terms in her criti- cism of the situation and one of these that required elucdation but that was pronounced often was that 1t looked so pointed" By this the good lady meant that those who Edward and Millicent take the floor to- gether time after time would necessarily imagine that the two were engaged or about to become so Or there was a dreadful all formative that Millcent was a nirt and " for ward"
 ]. l.
 Mllicent's mother explained the situation sympathetically enough. for she, too. had gone through her bad quarter of an hour. but her eyes had been opened to the ballroom requirements and she assured the great-aunt that the one partner was an ac- cepted result of the difficult Steps of today's dances.
 " suppose. then. that the ball program will become a farce?" " the great-aunt made reply, speaking with some bitterness. " and so will vanish another delightful souvenir of past pleasure and conquests. l have all mine tied up in my treasure box, and assure you 1t is great dekght to me to look them over now and then. though. alas, my dancing days are over and my beaux are scattered far and wde know not wherel"
 Milicent's mother explained that dance programs were still dealt out, but that those partners who had arranged their dances be- forehand had little use for them Par tcularly,' she added, " since the go a. you

He does not trust to memory, nor write down the date on slip of paper which will probably get lost couple of days later Instead he enters up the engagement on his card index and when the day arrives his attention Is drawn to the matter almost automatically. He keeps the appointment because his system is such that he cannot forget 1t.

 Last Christmas this same woman perhaps racked her brains trying to think of the va rious gifts she sent out the year before. in order to prevent her duplicating them Here again the index method would have been valuable. not only by making it impossible for some friend to remark, " Whatever has made her send me this again." but also by solving the vexed question of what % givo to others The index cards relating to gifts would be full of happy suggestions for the future as we'll as being records of previous years.

so l thought l wouldn't. But the feeling of irksomeness or lostness engendered by ," do- ing nothing " got on my nerves to such extent that I felt I should just have to do something, even if it came to reading. until my thoughts on the subject became in teresting that I just sat and dreamed.
 Was it possible that couldn't sit comfort ably quiet for five minutes and think? Had it come to such pass that I was dissatisfied if left alone with my own thoughts? Appar- ently. But what confession.
 Surely you would think there could be no more easy thing in the world than just to sit still and do nothing. And yet expect there are many averagely busy people who have stumbled across the same experience at one time or another-that just to sit still and do nothing-one of the healthiest possible ex- ercises, by the way-is just the hardest thing possible for them to accomplish.

So many requests for punch work de- sign have in that the accompanying illus tration Is published. The design may be worked on a shirtwai,4t well the combination undergarment
 There are two ways to apply the design to the material upon which 1t is to be worked If the material is sheer, such as lawn and the like, the simplest method is to lay the material over the design and with sharply pointed pencil draw over each line. If, on the other hand the, material is heavy, secure piece of transfer impression paper. Lay it face down upon this, then draw over each line of the paper with a hard pencil or the point of a steel knitting needle Upon lifting the pat tern and the transfer paper you will find neat and accurate outline of the design upon your material.
 There are two points to observe in this simple process if you would execute it satis- factorily. One is to that your material is level, cut and folded by thread and that your design is placed upon 1t evenly at every point. The second is, when placed accurately secure the design to the material with thumb tacks with pins that 1t cannot slip during the operation.
