Mrs. Rabbit was very fine cook,
and her doughnuts were famed the
woods around and so were her straw
berry tarts,
One day she had baked dozen tarts
and fried a painful of doughnuts and
put them in the pantry on the shelf
to cool.
Now ! must go upstairs and make
the beds" she said.
Upstairs went Mrs. Rabbit two steps
at time just to show herself how
spry she really was and she shook the
sheets and made the beds in less time
than 1t takes to tell you all about 1t.
But just as she was busting tho
bureau she saw something that made
her jump back from the window and
run downstairs as fast as she came
up.
Mrs. Rabbit was frightened and her
heart beat SO loudly she thought it
would be heard downstairs, for she
had seen Mr.. Bear coming down the
road, and she knew him to be not only
a thief and robber, but he sometimes
carried off rabbits and other animals
to his cave in the forest on the other
side of the mountain.
Mr.. Bear knocked three times on
the door and then he kicked 1t, but it

Origin of Esquire
Dear Margery Doom:

Dear Mafgery doom.
When writing to a gentleman,
have always understood that the en-
velope may be addressed to him as
Mr." or ESQ 1 am desirous of
knowing the origin of esquire. Will
you please give me some information
about it, and oblige, your sincerely.
ADDIE e.
An esquire, in the age of chivalry,
was the one who carried the escu, or
shield of a knight. The appellation
is derived from the Latin soutiger, a
shield bearer. There are no heredit-
AIRY titles in this country, and no one
is entitled more than another to be
called esquire; 1t Is a title of courtesy
much used in correspondence. 1t is
different, however, In England. where
several classes are legally entitled to
be called esquire, such as the younger
sons of peers and their eldest sons,
eldest sons of knights and their eldest
sons, judges, officers of state, barris-
ters-at-l law, etc, but even in that
country the use of esquire is so com
mon that the distinction II once had,
or rule regulating its use, Is quite
lost.

A charming rosette is made of lace.
Two yards of lace will be required.
Real valenciennes and the Spanish
silk lace are both lovely, but fine
mechlin may also be used with good
effect.
Gut the lace in halves, one for each
rosette. Run a gathering thread,
doubled along the top edge Of the
lace. gather TO a length of seven
inches and fasten off securely
Coil into a rosette and sew lightly
into place at the back of the rosette
being careful not to have the stitches
, reach through the different parts of
the coil. A single artificial flower
sewed deeply into the center of the
rosette will add to the effect.
To make a shoe bow, stiff and dig
nified, use one-half yard of ribbon
one and one-eighth inches wide.
Cut two pieces four and one-half
inches long for the bows, and two
pieces three inches long fLor the center
cross-pieces. Fold a four-and-
half-inch piece into a stiff looped bow
and sew into place. Make one fold
or plait lengthwise in a three-inch
piece and pass across the center of
the stiff bow. finishing neatly at the
back with as little bulk as possible.
Use heavy white ribbed ribbon or
black velvet.

ROSETTES AND RIBBON BOWS

Rosettes of all kinds are the fash
ion this season, from the tiny slip
per ornament to the larger dress
rosette, A pretty rosette is made of
pale blue ribbed baby ribbon. A bolt
of ten yards will be required Cut
the ribbon into two equal parts of
five yards each. Then begin to form
loops one inch in length, two inches
to loop. Measure your first loop by
the tape measure and not the eye,
says the Washington Sunday Star.
Carefully sew loop after loop in q
close, straight line. Then coil into
a rosette and sew lightly and loosely
round and round at the back of the
rosette.
A novel rosette in knotted effect is
made of soft pink satin ribbon,
double faced. This is not absolutely
essential, but it is preferable, since
it is easier to knot and more quickly
made. One bolt will be required of
hree-eighths-inoh ribbon. Cut in two
flve-yard lengths, one for each rosette.
Next begin to knot the ribbon, tying
single tight knot every three and
one-half inches. When this Is COM
pleted form loops of the ribbon, hav-
ing the knot at the outside of the
loop, sewing the loops carefully in a
straight line, one after another. Coil
into rosette and sew tightly into
place at the back of the rosette.

Grease Spots

Dear Miss Doom:
Please tell me how to clean a Bel
gian blue silk dress. There are sew
eral grease spots on it.
MRS. JACK X.
Perhaps the best way to clean the
dress would be to use benzine, rubbed
carefully on the soiled parts. Ether
or ehloroform are both excellent for
removing obstinate stains.
If You rub the spot rapidly with
brown paper the friction will draw
out the grease, or lay the silk over
an ironing board, right side down.

paper.

German silver, so-called, is really
not silver at all; there is no silver
entering into it's composition. 1t is a
compound of copper, zinc and nickel
in varying proportions. 1t was first
made in Europe at Hidburghausen,

VIII you please publish a method

First rub the brass thoroughly with

this will give the brass a high polish !
then take ten cents worth of shellae
dissolved in enough alcohol to make
it thin and apply with a small brush.
This can be done in little time

the bed stays clean for an indefinite
length of time.
