THE FAIRY SHOES.
By Esther Elsie Warren.

Once two little boys who were just
starting to school in the morning said
to each other: ooh, wonder what
the newborn baby over at the other
side of town will get from his fairy
god-mother "Well," one boy said,
sit ought to be very beautiful" eyes"
said the other, Every, indeed" But
when the day came for the grand
reception to take place, the boys
watched in wonder at the little brown
package in which was the fairy god
mothers present. "Well," said one,
sit is not very big" After awhile
she opened it, and Lo and behold,
there was only two little brown shoes.
"Ohw said the boys; but the fairy
turned around upon the crowd and
said: "My present is not very big, but
this child will grow up wilful and will
not go straight to school ever without
these shoes. Every time he goes
wrong they will pinch his feet and
he will grow up right" And Dick as
he was called grew up an honest boy
and never dilly-dallied because of his
first experience.
My dear Esther, you are certainly
fine little club member. Your story
was very nice and l was very glad
to print it. OF course, it is fair to
have two letters published. You may
have as many letters published as you
wish-the more the merrier; only
sometimes letters have to wait their
turn. Your editor had the humps
last spring, Esther, and My! but she
was sight! hope your little brother
is quite well again for humps are
pretty disagreeable, I think. Our
next letter is from Louise Bennett,
Ravenna, Michigan.

TODAY's POEM
THEY WAIT FOR YOU.

 Look not, o friend, with unavailing
 tears Into the Past-look to the brave young years! Look to the Future: all is there in
 wait. All that you fought for by the broken The faith that faltered and the hope
 that fell; The songs that died into lonely
 knell. It is all there-the love that went
 astray With bitter cries in that remembered
 day; The joys that were so needed by the
 heart. And all the tender dreams you saw
 depart. Nothing is lost forever that the soul Cried out for: all is waiting at the
 goal Edward Markham in Shores of Happiness and Other Poems

DO NOT TAKE YOUR
 SISTERS BEAU
Dear Miss Libbex:-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 deeply in love with young man twenty-five years old. He cares for me very much. but my parents object to him do not know what to do. He loved me very much until he saw my sister and they had a, quarrel; now he cares for me again. What shall I do? I loved him at first sight. Wish ing your advice.
 ts ANXIOUS NINA.
 You are altogether too young to have your mind filled up with thoughts of love and a lover.
 Pay no attention to the young man who has shown you that you have no power to hold him attracted when an- other girl happens on the scene. It takes girls older and wiser to know how to keep a beau and cause his heart to grow fonder.

 G. L. AND G. S. It is extremely hazardous to permit 2. man whom you have never seen to make love to you by. mail or to have your photograph. But as matters have progressed thus far and he has pro posed marriage, allow your parents to arrange about his coming to see you, also if he is desirable as son-in-1aw. Be sure that your parents approve of your corresponding. I am presuming that you have been properly intro duced.

The most expensive- of frocks may be duplicated as far as the trimmings are concerned, by the original use of fine soutac41e or rat-tan braid The Empire waist with gathered tunAc as illustrated here is particularly chic developed in French vofle or charmeuse satin. Taf- feta is also in great demand for such costumes. When 44-inch material Is used. yards are needed for the entire costume, as the skirt is circular ef- feet Eleven yards Of braid arc re- quired for the trimming.
 The back tunic section Is shorter than the front, and both arc placed on a len@thwise fold of the material so that there will be no seam in either when dnished. The back and collar are also placed on a 1engthwis0 fold of the goods. while the sleeves and front are laid on a. lengthwtse thread The fact that the sleeve has a dart seam, al- though if Is a one-piece effect requires particular care in cutting to preserve the lines. u
 The smaller sections of the pattern, such as the under-arm gores, collar and stay are arranged on a lengthwise thread
 These Empire blouses are so dressy in effect that they can be worn with ly if developed in silk or satin Blue and black are exceedingly popular. but there is also strong demand for the r4ch shades of brown
 In addition to the braid which out lines tha blouse. narrow soutache is stitched upon the tuntc and the blouse as finish for the pockets. The belt looks equally smart in braid. taffeta or leather. a simple buckle of good quality giving a pleasing touch to the finish
 Midnight blue Is considered extreme 1y smart in frocks for all practical wear and is used for many Of the aft ernoon frccks i14 soft and silken nas terials.

A BOY SHOULD NOT ASK A
 GIRL FOR HER COMPANY
Dear Miss Libbey:-

read your letters every week and enjoy them. On what special side should the escort walk, on the right hand side? State. in what words. should a youth make a request when he asks girl for her company?
 J. s. Escorts usually walk on the right hand side of their companion. A youth (under age) should not ask a. girl for her company. If old enough to be a suitor, he should remark he would be pleased to have the pleas ure of her company if agreeable to her.

Children are by instinct great bread eaters. You never heard of too much bread making them sick. Childhood is linked in our memory with bowls of bread and milk. School days re- call generous slices of good bread and butter-sometime sprinkled with sugar or spread with jam or syrup. Bread and milk for young or old gives us all the nutritive power needed by the human body in less expensive form than any other food.
 Next to bread and milk and the ordinary slice of bread and butter comes toast. Crisp and appetizing. served dry or buttered hot. toast is good at any time; especially fine for breakfast For the delicate or con- vaIescent, served with hot milk, there is nothing quite so tempting or nour- ishing as toast
