When the clothes had been dis
tributed the little Blakes suddenly
found their tongues.
The oldest Blake girl strutted
proudly in the warm things Dorothy
had given her, and the others foi-
lowed suit, until Dorothy felt as II
Davie and she were a magic prince
end princess, with unlimited power
to make other people happy.
And so they were, when you come
to think about it. You and l, ana
the little girl next door, and the
cross old man up the street, and
the teacher. and the man That
comes around to mend our umbrel-
las, all have it in our power to
make happy those about us. And
why don't we try harder?
Can you answer that?
AZ can go to school now" said the
Oldest Blake girl to Dorothy, be-
tween bites of her second apple, Il
couldn't go before cause didn't
have a dress. But L can go now,
and look as nice as anybody" And
she looked proudly down at the
dress, which still bore traces OF
Dorothy's wagon-grease adventure.
Dorothy looked little guilty as
her eyes dropped to the spots.
"Do you like SCHOOL," she asked,
hastily.
school than eat" cried the Oldest
Blake girl, enthusiastically, IF l
wasn't too hungry" she added,
glancing at the groceries on the
table. 80
"Of course" said Dorothy, polite
". And then there followed an alb
sorbing conversation about the
things they liked to study, and the
things they didn't, and whether
their teachers were sweet or not,
and ever so many other interesting
things that school children love to
talk about.
Davie edged up to the Blake boy.
How old are you?" he demanded.
Five and half" said the Blake
boy, shyly.

The Blake boy received this in

Shop News

When have you been shopping
last, Busy Mother? Why hesitate
in answering? / know that you are
going to reply, "Oh. have no
| time for shopping. By the time l
get the children off to school, the
household duties to think of, the
lunch and dinner to prepare and
the thousand and one things that
| take UP any mothers time com
| pieted, / am too tired to think of
shopping"
Naturally you are too tired to
go through department stores II
you must go through a routine of
housework first.
Have you ever thought of shirk-
ing some of your minor duties, of
| putting off some uniInportant ones
| and filing in the time by enjoying
yourself?
Your little girl has complained
because her school frocks are made
after the same pattern. Her party
| dress is of dotted null and SO was
| her last party dress dotted null.
| You, poor tired mother, think you
| are right, but / am afraid you are
not.
If you would have spent more
time examining the little dresses
that are displayed at the shops
you would not have purchased the
| same material or made it in a
| plain waist and pleated skirt ef-
J feet after last years style. In
| stead it would have been a long
waist with a gored skirt, a soft
satin sash caught in place with
straps and the neck and sleeves
would be finished with narrow
lace pleating.
All of these hints are given free
of charge" to any mother
| The only requirement is to go
shopping and take notice of the
display of pretty things in all OF
the stores.
1t is economic to become fam
| liar with the stores and their adj
vertisements. Many times articles
that you need are placed on sale
and are sold at a great saving.
Hereafter, you ambitious moth
IRIS, send the children off to school
and attend to only the most i'm
portant duties and then go out
for a days shopping tour.
Roam through the stores to
your hearts content.
| You VIII flnd youfSelI nanullng
| dainty laces and perishable frocks
that have large placards which
say DO Not Handle"
Your one desire will be to pur-
chase as many dainties as you
can carry.
When you reach home you will
be tired, but only bodily. Your
eyes will sparkle and your voice
will not have the usual languid
tone when you speak.
1t is a good experiment.
You'd better try it.
Pearl beads in various lengths
are being sold at L. Bamberger
& Co.'S at many low prices.
Amber and coral beads in many
sizes are offered at all prices.
At L. S. Plaut 4 Co.'S the
| newest in lace collars and fichus
are being displayed and the prices
are surprisingly low.
One finds that at Hahne & Co.'S
potted plants may be purchased
| at from 25 cents for small Bos-
ton ferns to $3.50 for rubber
plants. All the bulbs for spring
I flowers are sold at reasonable
| prices.

Tie Fortunate Fly

Mr.. Fly was considered by the Deo-

of their number. and although he
met with disaster at times, it seemed
as though he always turned his mis-
fortune to his own advantage. In
deed. he was lucky fly!
One day friend asked him why he
never took out an accident insurance
policy This idea seemed very good
TO Mr.. Fly. and he at once put 1t in
execution. Hardly had lie done SO

this never occurred to Mr.. Fly In
stead he tugged and pulled and
pulled and tugged until his strength
/ had almost given out, when all of a
sudden he succeeded In getting one

more desperate tug. with the horrible
result that he broke his remaining

Colds Are Avoidable
This is the season for colds.

This is the season for colds.
: And man or woman with a cold is
not alone a trouble and nuisance
to himself or herself, but also to many
other people.
People with colds either cannot or
will not refrain from going to the
aires, concerts and lectures, and al
this time of the year it is no unusual
thing to hear the loud. hacking cough
of some one who ought not to be out
of doors, or. If out of doors, ought to
do his or her best to refrain from CIV
ing audible expression to his or hel
complaint.
There is no greater enemy to beauty
than a cold, and that is one reason
why I think women ought to dc
everything in their power to avoid
catching them.
And they certainly are avoidable.

Annoying
Characteristics

people that criticism and blame are
disarmed.
But they are not very reliable when
1t comes to important things. You
cannot make an appointment with
them with any certainty that 1t will
be scrupulously kept. Nor can you
be certain either that any duties rele-
gated to them win be performed with
in reasonable time.
Tomorrow or some other time is
always In front of them. And so.
while we are quite ready to love and
occasionally to be charmed with the
casual losers, we do not rely on them.
The work of the world requires other
and more sterling qualities.
