Benedict Arnold

Benedict Arnold was once one OF
the best generals in the Revolutionary
army. but afterward became traitor
and had to flee from the country. He
died In a lonely garnet in London.
He was sorry for his acts as death
approached. The minister asked him
ii he wanted to be Christian, but his
mind Wavered. He arose from the
bed and tottered along the floor to a
valise. Opening this, he took blue
coat and tattered flag. Then he
said; Help me put on this coat" He
took the flag in his hand.
The minister asked him if he had
faith in God, and Arnold answered.:
Would it bring me back my honor ~
He then imagined that he was in bait
tie and said to his imaginary COM
rades: Hurry, boys, hurry. one more
blow and Quebec is ours" Shortly
afterwards he fell to the floor dead.

Perhaps more freaks have been
launched this season than any one
season before, yet we have also had
some excellent ideas that We're
wearable and becoming at the same
time.
Fur coats are modish--in fact, en-
tire costumes of fur are being worn
at the moment in Paris--but there
are times when one really needs a
long, warm coat aside from the fur
coat. Ii is comfortable to wear to
a matinee or to the theatre in the
evening when one does not care to
dress deliberately.
In No. S126 there is shown a XII
mono design, in which the back ex-
tends over the shoulders to form a
yoke in front. The material is dull
red duvetyn, with collar and cuffs
of black plush.
This coat may be copied in size So

A Shoe Tells of Its Life


I was on the back of an old bull
Some cowboys were having fun and
shot the bull. | was taken off its
back and brought to the factory.
While there I was pressed, cleaned
tanned and sh!ned, then put on foot
press and brought to the factory to
be grained. After several days they
put sole on me and buttons, then
put in box and brought to the shoe
store. A girl came in, and out Of
several pairs of shoes selected me.
She wore me every day, and when i
began to wear threw me away. A
rag-picker came along and took me
out of the rubbage. He brought me
home. His wife examined me and
sold me to a paper man, who made
paper out of me.
A lady bought the Evening Star
and read it and burned me to ashes 10
make fire. and that was the end
of the old bull.

To Shrink Linen

My dear Miss Doom
VIII you please tell me how %
shrink white linen before it is made
up? / know that this question
seems absurd in the face of this
awful storm, but l always buy my
summer dresses at this time of the
year. and then they are ready for
wear when the warm weather
comes. Thanking you very much,
FOREHANDED.4 :
think you are very wise. 1t is
not agreeable to have to sew when
the thermometer scars and your
needle becomes slippery and your
hair hangs Imply over your eyes.
Q'm rather enjoying the picture as
I look out of the window at the
snow.
The following method is said to
make linen unshrinkable, and is.
certainly worth trying: Fill the
bathtub about one third full with
clear cold water; then, without un-
folding the linen, wrap ii in
clean towel and leave it in the tub
over night Take it out in the morn
ing and hang it up without wiring
ing out the water
1t will take some time to dry, but
the linen will be thoroughly slrunl1en
and the material need not be
pressed until after the garment is
made.

Your Personal Appearance

A woman who is neat and tidv in
her personal appearance is not apt to
be an untidy housel1eeper.
1t is hard To imagine q woman who
is always SUITABLY and attractively
dressed remaining in a home of
painful untidiness.
II she is content to live in muddle,
in state of chronic chaos and disor-
der, such surroundings are bound to
affect her personal appearance. No
woman will remain impervious always
to her surroundings.
Therefore, If one wishes to overcome
habit of carelessness in ones mode
of dressing, 1t is good plan to lay
down strict rules and laws with re-
gard TO the neatness and orderliness
of ones home.
Attractiveness and neatness there
will help her to greater efforts to have
her personal appearance in harmony
with her home.-Camden Daily
