THE CHILDREN'S STORY

Christmas, and they thought of the
little sick girl just over the way who
could not run about like they on
happy Christmas day. So they made
a large stocking of red flannel and
Mary, the Oldest girl, bought a beau
tiful dolly and made large pack of
clothes and put it into the stocking
Nellie bought lovely tea set and
a table spread and dropped them into
the stocking. Then Florence, the
youngest, bought folding table and
a large box of bon bons. Then they
carried the stocking over to the lit
tie girls parents and told them that
they should give it to her dawn Of
Christmas day. When the little girl
saw it on Christmas morning she was
so happy and forgot all her sorrows,
and in a moment she was playing
with her dolly and the tea set. She
forgot she was sick and before she
could think of it she was nearly we'll.
She thanked the good girls very
much, and this is the best Christmas
she ever had or ever will have for
her folks are very poor.
This is the end of my story. 1t is
pretty long, but / hope you will like
it. From Hilda Jorgensen,
Lakeview, Michigan.
Certainly, l liked your story, Dear,
and it wasn't bit too long. hope
you will write another one some of
these days. l expect there were
many little boys and girls disap-
pointed because they didn't win the
prize, Hilda, and / was awfully sorry
that l wasn't able to send prize to
every one of you little folks. But
some of these days, dear little
friends, just guess we will have a
contest that will please you. Watch
for that contest. Our next letter is
from Esther Warren, Laingsburg,
Michigan.
Dear Editor:-My Papa is the
Editor of the Laingsburg News. He
prints the Story Telling Club in our
paper and you may be sure l enjoy
it very much. And for the Story
That We Can Name will name it.:

Gus Puppy Played Ball." I am ten
years old, and go to school in the
fifth grade. / like my teacher, oh,
ever so much. Her name is Miss

little brother six years old; his name

SHOW KINDNESS.
By Esther Warren.

Once on Christmas Eve a little
boy was going from house to house.
He went towards the great light
from rich mans parlor where a
great Christmas tree was standing.
The children were playing merrily
about. The boy asked if he might
come in, but they bid him run away
quick. He went from house to house
until he cried out: "Does no one
care for mew He went down the
street until the houses grew smaller.
A dim light shown from one window
where he asked if he might come
in, and they said "Come." The
mother had three little children
around her. She told them the
story of the first Christmas. When
she had finished the child had dis
appeared. Then the mother told her
children that they had seen the
Christ child for kindness.
Esther, Dear, what lovely story
| expect you will be a great writer
some day. Your little story made
your Editor cry, Dearie, and that's
sure sign that your story is fine.
Write another story and letter, too.
I'm very glad that you and your lit
tie friends enjoy the club so we'll.
And now l must close for this is
all the space we have. Good bye.

How To Make The Farm Kit
chen an Effective Workshop

Lighting, ventilation and heating
are particularly important in the
kitchen. For ventilating purposes, a
window that goes to the top of the
room, with a top sash that can be
readily raised and lowered, is espe-
cially good, as it lets out the hot air
which naturally rises. A window
pole can be provided for closing the
top sash. In lieu of window open
ing at the top, small windows for
ventilating purposes may be pro-
vided near the top, over the cup
board, table or sink. These will be
most convenient if they are hinged
and arranged so that they can be
opened and closed by pulley and
rope. There can hardly be too many
windows in a kitchen. Glass panels
in doors also allow light to penetrate
into dark places in closets or pas
sageways. Where there is danger
of breakage, wire glass should be
used, and where privacy is desirable,
frosted or similar glass can be Sc
lected.
In the northern states during cold
weather the windows in the kitchen
should be provided with a board
fits below the lower sash of the win
dow, with the lower sash shut upon
it. This arrangement will admit air
between the two sashes without
drafts. Very good ventilation with
out great loss of heat may be OBJ
tanned by the use of window screens
covered with cotton cloth. These al
low the outside air to enter without
draft, and also keep out dust and
dirt.
These cloth coverings will be very
serviceable over pantry and store
room windows which are kept open
during the winter. In such cases the
cloth can be fastened on the outside
of the window with thumb tacks.
Shades should be provided for sunny
windows, and at least one window in
the kitchen should be equipped with
an adjustable hade, which can be
pulled over either the upper or lower
sash, or both.
In cold districts, loose windows
and cracks should be provided with
window strips or stuffed, and special
care should be given to thinking up
the cracks between the frame of the
house and the foundations, so as to
keep out the cold. Double or storm
windows and storm porches are adj
vantages in very cold climates.
For summer in northern states,
and for all-the-year use in warmer
regions of the country, there should
be a screened porch opening off from
the kitchen on the side which is not
exposed TO the sun during the hot
test part of the day. Much of the
kitchen work may be done here and
this will add greatly to the comfort
of the worker. Some prefer to have
such a porch open on to the garden,
but others find a screened porch
with no opening preferable, just be-
cause it gives better protection
against flies. All windows should be
screened to keep out flies and other
insects which are disease carriers,
and a cause Of discomfort. Where
frame screens are not obtainable,
flies can be kept out by lacking wire
netting 10 meshes to the linear inch
over openings. The screen should
cover the entire window opening, so
as to permit the opening of either
sash.

Girls Dress with or without Vest
Portion, and with Sleeve in either
of Two Lengths, also with Gather
ed or Plated Skirt.
AS here shown blue figured wooden
was used with red serge for trim
ming. The waist may be developed
with the vest section, or with the

plated style. Velvet, poplin, cash
mere, percale, gingham, galatea,
linen or linene are all appropriate
for this model. The pattern is cut
in sizes: s, 10, IL, and IA years.
1t requires S7s yards of 44-inch ma
terial for 10-year size.

should be so located that it will be
especially convenient to the pantry,
dining room, storeroom, cellar and
wood shed. At the same time, &C
cess to other parts of the house
should be easy from the kitchen, al
though, as the writer points out, it
is unfortunate if the kitchen is made
the principal entryway to the house.
She particularly urges that it be on
the same level with the pantry and
dining room, as steps, even if only
one or two, mean the extra work of
lifting and lowering the body up and
down them many times a day and
lead inevitably to greater breakage
of crockery. The bulletin is very
specific in condemning kitchens in
Easements. 1t very emphatically
urges that general traffic through
the kitchen be reduced as much as
possible, and especially that it be
not made a place where outer cloth
ing and hats are hung.
For reasons of general conven-
fence, too, the refrigerator should be
on the same level as the kitchen.
Similarly, for much the same reason,
the writer urges that the refrigera-
tor or icebox be so arranged that it
can be filled from outside. If the
rear opening of the icebox is tightly
joined to the opening in the wall of
the house, and this opening is
screened with strong wire netting,
the back of the icebox can be left
open in winter and the food kept in
cold air without chilling the rest of
the house.
The floors, walls and ceilings
should have a plain surface and be
free from cracks, ridges, mouldings
or other raised ornaments which
catch dust and dirt, are difficult to
keep clean and afford harboring
places for insects. Walls covered
with washable paint or washable
wall paper are easier to clean than
those simply tinted, though the lat
ter can be readily renewed. Light
colors are preferable, greenish grays
being desirable if the exposure is
toward the south and light yellows
or creams If the kitchen gets its
light principally from the northeast.
Of course, thing or vitrified brick
or metallic thing are better than
paint, tint or wall paper, which have
to be renewed, but these are more
expensive. Where the walls are
painted, a better surface results
when coat is applied every year
or two than when several coats are
applied at once. A final coat of
enamel paint or outside varnish is
desirable for woodwork that needs
cleaning frequently. The ceiling
may be finished with whitewash or
one of the commercial preparations.
Unfinished wooden floors are one
of the great burdens of the house
wife, as they can be kept clean only
by frequent scrubbing, and in spite
of care show spots and stains. Soft
wood quickly becomes rough and
splintered. Soft woods can be bet
tered by the application of special
floor paints. Hard woods can be
made less absorbent by the appli-
cation of wood filters which are COM
mon commercial preparations. Where
unseasoned boards are used, cracks
are likely to occur from shrinkage,
and these should be filled, putty be-
ing sometimes used-and sometimes
commercial preparations designed
for this purpose.
