Bluey Blackbird such as they were well

Now Tommy Tittle-mouse didn't know
Blucy very well-and to tell the truth he

he had lived in the garden a eek he had

and his selfshness and all that. So, being
a wise and quiet. peace-loviEg little fell

notice that Bluey snubbed him and would
have nothing to do with him "If he has
nothing to say to me-" wise little Tommy
had said to himself "then he cannot pick
quarrel with me and am safe from
harm in that direction at least!
But today Bluey ran up and down. up

Sewing Room Hints

Do not pull out tackng threads in a
long length; cut the stitches at intervals
of two Inches and pull out the thread !;
dragging out long length is very liable
to leave marks that cannot be effaced
Coats should have lead weights sewn
to the lower end of each seam before the
lining is put in; they will weight the
seams down, and by making the coat
cling to the figure will assist in giving
the slender outline that is desirable.
Delicate materials, such as crepe de
chine, silk colienne, ninon, etc. like vel
vet, should not have the seams pressed
fiat on the table; one person should hold
the top of seam and the ironer hold the
other and just run the point of the iron
up centre of seam II a second person Is
not to be had. pin the top of seam to a
lead cushion or to firmly fixed ironing
blanket.
Use small hooks and eyes in preference
to large ones; they make a much tidier
fastening. Very large hooks on a skirt
band often make an ugly bump through
the outer waistband.

The whole thing started with Mother

as Mrs Hugh Munro, who is always
starting worthy things. She rounded up
all the babies in the neighborhood, and
their mothers. OF course, at the school-
house at 4th street and Montgomery ave-
nue.. When she had all the mothers listen
ing and the babies as quiet as mice, she
announced the two-month baby contest
and that prizes would be given the in
fants who were plumpest by the last day
Of August The only qualification is that
the babies be less than two years old.
In order to give some Of the thinnest
babies a fair chance in the contest, Mrs
Munro is planning to take them. together
with their mothers, to a bungalow In the
pines at Blackwood N j., where they
can breathe in the first healthy country

this, however. she has had to make
