thought he was resting, but he was
really-thinking-
This is what he thought:
81 am DREADFUL lonesome, and
it's not a bit of fun to build houses all
alone. | wish little sister would come
and say: Let me help you build
houses, BERTHE Boy. And | would say:
Of course, you can help, little sister
We'll build our houses all over again"
But BERTHE Boy found that it took a
long time to rest when one is cross,
and the. longer he rested the more
lonesome he grew until he felt that he
would cry if little sister did not come
soon. BERTHE Boy did not want to cry.
Girls cried; and he was a boy-a great
big boy. Mamma called him her little
man. And men, even little men, did
not cry.
BERTHE Boy sided to the edge of the
porch and peered around the corner.
There was little sister standing on the
back walk looking very sad and for
lorn. And-yes, she looked lonesome,
too.
"Go and make up with your little
sister, BERTHE Boy" suddenly spoke a
small voice way down in the bottom
of his heart. Tell her you are sorry,
and that you would love to have her
help you build houses. Go right
away"
But before he could take a step in
little sisters direction, another voice
very cross and naughty-not at all
like the first voice-said: Don't go.
BERTHE Boy. Let little sister come and
make up with you. She will come if
you will wait long enough; for she is
as lonesome as YOU are"
So BERTHE Boy settled back on the
steps with a scowl on his face and
pretended that he was resting again.
But although he waited and waited
long time, little sister did not come.
Presently BERTHE Boy stole another
peep around the corner of the house,
and what he saw made him feel
dreadful bad.

To inquire how or why this appeal

JOINING COLLAR DIFFICULT.

The joining of the sailor collar is
the most difficult part of the MILDLY
blouse. Full directions are given
with any good pattern. The seam is
always joined toward inside and is
hidden by the facing, which is of a
contrasting color, trimmed before be-
ing basted on, and is usually cut the
entire length of the blouse opening
and several inches below, though
some of the modern "middies" do not
have this effect.
Be particular to join notches ex-
actly, stretching the edges as direct
ed, otherwise the collar does not roll
close when turned.
Turn in edges of collar and facing
the same depth and haste them exact
ly even. Stitch close to the edge and
be sure the material is well caught at

Strawberry Jelly.

Soak a package of gelatin in a cup
of cold water for an hour, unless you
use the instantaneous gelatin in which
case a shorter time is required. Crush
two cups of ripe berries and set them
aside for a quarter of an hour with a
cup of graduated sugar stirred into
them. Dissolve the gelatin in pint
of boiling water, add the sugar and
mashed berries, and strain through a
fine sieve or a coarse cloth. Set aside
to get cold. When this stage is
reached, whip the whites of five eggs
to a stiff ftoth and beat the partially
formed jelly into it, little at time.
Turn into a mold, let it stand on the
ice until thoroughly chilled, and serve
with whipped cream.
