Bedtime Stories
For Little Folks
MATThEw's ADVENTURES.

Nobody ever called him anything
but Matthew. Matthew was q little
negro boy. who. as near as 1t IL Dos
sible aowadsys. had lies growsd"
without having any particular homo Or
anybody to especially caro- for him.
That was one reason why Matthew al
ways made friends with tho animals
and why all the cats. dogs. horses and
mules which knew him liked him.
Matthew could DO pretty nearly any
thing that hs wanted to with the ami
mails. Although the old gray mule
that Farmer Johnson owned had very
tickiish feet that delighted to kick at
everybody who came within reach.
Matthew could crawl around his legs
without the mules Offering to move.
And the pony that the Wilson chill
dren drove would stand as quiet as q
mouse while Matthew was at his head,
and the Doctors horse that some
times grabbed at people with his
mouth would rub his nose on Mat
the%'s sleeve as much as to say, mo
matter about the other people. I like
you"
But the animal couldn't do much
toward furnishing Matthew with a bed
or with food to eat or clothes to wear
and even for a pickaninny Matthew
had hard time.

HINTS FoR THE sPRiNa TOILETTE

The early spriAs styles are making
their appearance and the straw hat is
not at all unusual on the street. Here
are few advance notes on tho ediets
Of fashion:
Most of the new shoes have straps
over the instsp. These are cool and
comfortable for warm days. and rich
headings and embroidery Oh the straps
add touch Of sIleador.
ALI kinds Of bolsros are coming in
again.
The old-fashionsd and highly artistic
ostrich feather fan has made its ap-
pearancs.
Dance frocks are made of shsersst
oreandie.
The early straw hats are made with
trimming Of satin and resemble mil.
itary turbans.
Buckles will be worn on all slippers,
even those for street wear, and the
high boot, made of brown or bronze
leather, will remain in favor.
Make your wide skirt short-a mar.
row one is out of the question.
White petticoats have deep, full ruf
fles of soft lace.
The newest gloves are trimmed with
all kinds of gaudy stitchings. II you
can wear brown, do 60 by all means;
this promises to be brown season.

In Paris, too, I once Witnessed an.
other little comedy Of this sort. 1t
was at the railway station. and the
paterfamilias had taken second-class
tickets for family. They were going
through the Riviera and the tickets
were already bought when up rushed
his eldest daughter to the ticket Office.
"Oh, papa!' she exclaimed, "the
Smith-Robertsons are aboard this train
and they are travelling frst-class.
Please change the tickets at once! We
couldn't possibly travel second when
they are on board, for you know when
we get back home to America they will
tell everybody in the town. And what
will people say?"
l watched, amused to see what
would happen. The father meekly
changed the tickets for the more ex.
pensive ones, and later l saw an en-.
thusiastic greeting between him and
paterfamilias Smith-Robertson But I
wondered how much real liking and
sincerity could lie behind it all. For
the bane of enjoyment involved in the
eternal question, "What VIII People
Say?" is not conducive to either
friendship or sincerity.

of a haycock. II 1t rained he would
crawl under; IL 1t stayed fair. 1t was
Just as good as any place. and the
handful Of hay that he pulled out made
. pretty good pillow.
The sun woke him the next morning
bright and early and Matthew rubbed
his eyes for a minute before he re-
nembered that he had gone to sleep
planning to start out into the world
the next morning, and here 1t was
time to be moving.
He trudged along a. manfully as he

cd for the door. He had scarcely

came running toward him. Matthew
did not stop. He walked along as the
dog came to meet him.
While he was still q little way OF,
Matthew noticed that the dog limped.
and when he got up to him he said:
"Sumpin' in yer foot?" and as he said
1t the dog wa.ged his tail as IL to
say: Yes" and Matthew Immediately
kneit down. and picking up the dogs
paw. began examining 1t. He found
a sharp thorn which had stuck into
the soft cushiony part of the dogs
foot, and must have hurt him badly.
and when Matthew pulled it out the
dog wagged his tail again and started
walking toward the house, as II invit-
ing Matthew to follow him. When
they got up to the house a kind-faced
woman came out to the door. and Mat
thew showed her the thorn which he
had pulled from the dogs foot, and the
dog wagged his tail all the time Mat
thew was telling about 1t.
To pay Matthew for his kindness to
the dog she told him to come into the
kitchen and she would give him some
breakfast. And after breakfast Mat
