TOO MANY CHILDREN
are under-size, under-weight

with pinched faces and poor blood; they
do not complain but appetite lags, they
have no ambition and do not progress.
Such children need the rich medicinal
nourishment in SCOTS Emulsion above
everything else; its pure cod liver oil con-
tains natures own blood forming, flesh
building fats which quickly show in rosy
cheeks, better appetite, firm flesh and
sturdy frames.
If your children are 1anguid, tired
when rising, catch cold easily or find
their studies difficult, give them SCOTS
Emuision; it supplies the very food ele-
ments that their systems lack.
Scoft's Emulsion contains no alcohol
and is SO good for growing children it's a
pity to keep it from them.

NEEDLEWORK
BY MARGARET LAwRENo

A fresh, new embroidered collar
can do wonders for a plain frock
of serge or any heavy washable
material and often such a collar
is the only trimming necessary for
a utility dress to wear to school,
business or at home. Last year the
Bulgarian note predominated in en-
broideries for collar and dress
Trimmings. This season the Japan
csc designs promise to influence our
clothes.
Pattern 1466S includes two Japan
ese designs for embroidering coll
lars and also q dainty Medici collar
With reverses to be worked on fine
net or organdie. Any of these are
appropriate for wear with separate
blouses or with dresses of serge,
crepe de chine, wool or cotton ra-
tine. For instance, a frock of blue
ratine would be very attractively
finished with the first collar em-
broidered on white cotton ratine in
the three shades of old blue, char
acteristic of the Japanese designs.
A dress of lavender cotton crepe
might be finished with the collar Of
white crepe wolfe or cotton ratine
embroidered in three shades of wis
taria. The girdle and tie might be
of wistaria colored char euse or
taffeta making a distinctive after
noon frock at very little expense,
Either of these designs might be
used for emhroidering the pretty

could pay some one to go in Tasso's

money. and the time was short. As
yet Lobo and Moufiow knew nothing
Of this, and so when LIobo was wei
they were happy together. Some.
times in summer they would 20 far
away into the fields and bring home
a basket OF wild flowers. Sometimes
they would sit by the door OF an old
gray church across the street and
watch the people as they passed by.
One day, while sitting there, q. gen.
tleman stopped to look at Mouflow.
You have very fine dog" my
little man." he said
Yes, he is beautiful" said Lobo
But you should see him when he is
just washed Then he is as white as

Yes, indeed said Lolo. He can
walk on two legs for ever 50 long.

With the vivid colors used In dress
this season, there is call for the
pretty colored beads to harmonic
with the costumes. In the Fench
iewelry department of one of our
shops is a little jade and pearl neck
lace that can be copied easily at
home at only a fraction of the
amount it would take to. purchase the
necklace completed
The necklace is about twenty inches
long. and is composed of ten round,
very flat jade beads connected by
triple strands of the tiniest pearl
beads imaginable. To string the
beads. take three threads twenty-five
inches long and knot them together
at one end, says the Philadelphia
North American. Then thread a
needle with one of the threads only
and string upon the thread over the
needle IA inches of the tiny pearls.
Proceed to do the same with the
other two threads, so that you have
three strands of the pearls each ia
inches long.
Now take tie loose ends of the
three threads and thread them ali
through the one needle as one thread.

Rocco wept and wrung his hands
as he took his place beside the dri-

in a disguised tone, giving his horse
a light crack with his whip by way
of relieving his feelings.
You donta understan, said
Rocco, but he wiped his eyes and
began to look into the bushes on
either side of the road.
Pretty soon they reached the top
of the hill. Whoa said the farmer
to his horse, you can see all over
from here he told Rocco, and like
as not you'll see your bear caper-
in around inside o. two minutes.
What's the big thing down in that

Rocco looked, shading his eyes
with his hand.

joyfully 'Tanka you. my man. for

climb out of the wagon, but the far

all his tricks, so you set still, an
I'll jest drive you down
ALA right said Rocco, 'buta we
better hurry o. my gooda Bruno,

his hands. which made the farmer
laugh heartily, for he was not used
to people from the sunny southern
European countries. He came from
a colder country. where people do
not show their feelings.

"'Giddap,' cried the farmer to
his horse, and the horse pretended
to hurry, but settled down Into his
usual jog trot inside of two min

at last, however, In spite of the
horses slowness and Rocco jumped
quickly from the cart, cal'..-g, 'Bru-
mol Gooda Bruno! Coma herep
Bruno wasn't very anxious to
come. He was having too much
fun with the little girl in the pink
bingham dress and her sturdy
brother. So he stood perfectly
still, looking at his master.
Rocco approached nearer, and
yet little nearer. He held out a
lump of sugar. but Bruno did not
run for it. The little girl i'll the
pink bingham dress had been feed

How many?" demanded Davie,
who loved details.
"Fifty-seven regular size Jumps,
and thirteen little Jumps" said
father Dear promptly. "She
counted, so you see that Bruno had
quite enough, even for a brown
bear.
ROCCO stood still. He COM
manded and coaxed, but Bruno
would not go to him, and Rocco
was afraid to chase him, lest
Bruno might take to his heels and
run off into the woods.
Maybe he'll dance If you sing
a tune suggested the farmer, AN
when he gets through dancin' he
might just take 1T into his head
to come over to you, the same as
usual.
"'Yes, yes, make him Dance

Bingham dress, jumping up and
down in excitement"
