To Remove DiscoIorations.

What neat housekeeper Is not an

woodwork Of her door or windows
those long. dark scratches which re-
veal that some n has tried to light
q match by drawing it across the
paint? Here Is a remedy for the
marks which quite defy soap and wa
ter. Cut a sour orange or lemon In
half. apply the cut half to the marks,
rubbing for a moment quite hard then
wash off with n clean rag. dipping
first In water to moisten 1t. and then
in whiting. Rub well with this rag,
dry thoroughly. and nine times out Of
ten times the ugly marks will be con-
Quered.
All finger marks on painted walls,
etc. should be rubbed off with a little
damp whiting In the same way and
never washed with soapsuds, which
destroys the paint.

Legends of the Red Rose.

AS to the origin Of the rose there Is
a legend that a Jewish maid of Beth
lehem (whom Southey names Zillah)
was beloved by one Ham'ull, a british
sot. Zillah rejected his suit, and
Ham'ull vowed vengeance. He gave
out that Zillah was a demoniac. and
she was condemned to be burned, but
God averted the flames, the stake bud
ded, and the maid stood unframed I'M
der q rose tree full of red and white
roses, then first seen on earth since
paradise was lost"
From other sources it would appear
that the rose was first white, and the
Turks say it was colored with the blood
of Mohammed and will suffer
the flower to lie on the ground, while,
contrary TO this. The Greeks hold that
1t derived its color from the blood of
Venus when she trod on a thorn of
the white thorn when going to the as
sistance of the dying Adonis.

CHlLDREN'S DRESSES.
Waist Lines Are Just as Tickle as
Those of Grownups.

The peasant influence Is very strong
In childrcn's dresses. The various lac
ings, the many kinds Of guimpes and
the bolero jackets verify this state
ment. Braid trimmings, novelty but
tons. pockets and collars are used to
give a military effect.
Waist lines of children's dresses are
just as tickle as are the waist lines of
grownups' frocks. High WASTED eff
fects are used mostly In party frocks.
Normal waist lines and low belted eff
fects are reserved for more practical
dresses.
Skirts of children's dresses are given
fulncss by means Of plaits. shirring or
q circular cut.
The reliable blue serge dress will Of
course be popular for school dresses.
Plaid silk promises to be a favorite
trimming for dresses Of this material.
Combinations of navy blue and army
blue are very popular and blue and red
are also looked upol with favor.
Black and white checks and plaids
are made up In a variety Of styles for
practical dresses. Sometimes the entire
dress Is Of the plaid, but more often 1t
Is used In combination with plain color

. Place For the Boys and Girls
A POTATO RACE.

Children of oil ages Except the baby
enjoy greatly a potato race. Two rows
of potatoes are laid along the ground
for a distance of q hundred feet or so,
about five feet apart. A basket or pail
Is placed at the end of the row from
which the contestants start. Two per-
sons begin together. each having a
spoon, and they must pick up the pota-
toes, one at q time,.on the spoon with
out touching it with the hand, and
carry it safely and drop it In the bas-
ket. One may select the potatoes in any
order one pleases, but must make q
separate trip for each potato. Some
times they fling the potatoes from a
distance, but If it falls short it must be
picked up and placed In the basket.
Whoever gets his potatoes in first is
the winner of these two; then two 9th
ers enter the contest. After all the
company have had their turn the Win
ners are pitted against each other until
there is only one remaining, who IS
pronounced the champion.

the lines of the allies. A boy about
fifteen years old volunteered to scour
the country for a horse and found one
that had been left In a barn by q SOL
der who had taken a better one In his
place. The boy brought the horse home.
and. since there was harness at hand,
the animal VIZ hitched to the sleigh.
The oldest daughter. whom they call
cd Elizabeth, was selected to drive the
American eastward. He doubled him
self up under the seat, and blankets
were used to over him. When all was
ready the girl touched the horse with
the whip and Ben left his hosts, fol-
lowed by blessings as one coming from
the liberal land.
German troops were passed on the
road. and had 1t not beer that a pref
ty girl was driving 1t is doubtful II the
couple In the sleigh would have got
very far. Twice German soldiers de-
bated whether or not they should take
the horse. but In the first case Eliza
beth Kept them of by u smile. and In
the second 1t was decided that the ami
NAL was not worth approLriating.
But after these two escapes they en-
countered a third. more serious. APP
preaching a house, Elizabeth saw a
nan In the uniform of a uhlan leaving
1t with the evident intent to intercept
her. She concluded that he was In
need Of a mount and would take any
horse he could get. Applying the whip.
she succeeded in getting by the house
before the uhlan reached the road. He
called on her to stop and when she
pushed on fired a shot over her head.
She paid no attention to this, and the
man followed her on a run.
The horse was already winded and
despite a sound drubbing could not be
urged to a pace that would enable his
driver to gain or the man. She noti-
fled Ben that he would be captured,
and he came to the conclusion that he
must fight for his liberty. He had his
revolver, but q fight within the enc
my's lines vas liable to call new me
mics, and he preferred some other
method.
They came to q rise In The ground
on the other side Of which was a deep
hollow. On either side Of the road was
q ditch that had been filled with snow.
When they reached the bottom of the
depression Ben, who had come out
from under the seat and was looking
about for means Of escape, seeing the
drift. jumped into 1t, sank to his waist
and managed to get the rest Of his
body under before the pursuer came
to the crest. Ben lay still. Elizabeth
drove on. and the uhlan passed with
out seeing him.
Whether the uhlan captured the
horse or not does not signify. Ben.
after his pursuer had passed, emerged
from the snow, took to a wood and
the same evening appeared in camp
none the worse for his experience.

LABOR SAVING.
Various Devices That Assist the House
keeper.

How efficient Is your home? How
well Toes 1t perform its functions?
There are problems to be solved there
In every whit rs engrossing as the busi-
ness of the wage earning head OF the
family. But, thanks TO modern devices,
1t is not impossible to solve them. For
instance. take the vacuum cleaner. 1t
will do the work OF q maid In q very
small percentage of the time 1t would
take her to perform the same work. or
course its first cost is rather large, at
least $25, but the saving In the long
run is so great that no woman who
ever has the tiniest bit Of money to
spend on making her home comfort
able should resist buying one.
If the woman does much of her work
herself-if she is one Of the domestic
women for whom happiness lies In do
ing the work of the house well-there
are electric devices that will take the
ioad OF heavy work from her shoulders
and yet give her the satisfaction OF
knowing that she has done her work
herself. Electric fans are considered
necessities by many business men.
Surely II this is so electric motors to
run the sewing machine and the wash
ing machine and the ~dishwashing ma
chine are necessities for the housewife.
IL you do your houscwork yourself.
why don't you look into this matter Of
labor saving devices for the home?
There is one other necessity to eff
cient labor-comfortable shoes. The
time has come when every young col
lege girl or professional woman throws
appearances to the winds and walks
forth in low heels and roomy toes. Her
feet may not be as beautiful as for
merry. but her general appearance, the
swing and grace caused by being com
fortably shod. makes up for 1t. The
shoes she wears cost s. and may be
had in all feathers and sizes, from kid
to Russian calf.

Fashions and the Household
DRESS YOUR CHARACTER.
How to Look Becoming Rather Than
Ultra.

How to Look Becoming Rather Than
Ultra.
Dress your character, not your fig
ure, Is the advice of q famous actress.
and rather surprising this advice seems
at first hearing. But think It over well
ard the excellence Of the idea will ap-
peal to you. Every woman has a GER
tain individuality of her own-a tenn
permanent. II you will-that makes her
u little or perhaps a good deal different
from all other IN 1t is the indi-
viduality. this temperament, that WON
en- should dress up to, accord.n: to the
actress, in order to make the personal
ity more marked and convincing.
But an instructive carrying out of
this advice with no heed to the prompt
ings of reason may result in disaster.
For example, there is always the wom-
an who weighs 200 pounds or there
abouts, but whose personality is dis
tinctly kittcnish. Is she to dress her
character or her figure? There is also
the very little woman who ought to
belong to the cuddly. appealing class,
who yearns to be impressive and state
ly. If she insists upon wearing the
garments of the ~grenadier she
may spoil her chances Of being fasci-
natingly charming.
But between these two extremes
there Is a very happy medium, and in
this idea of dressing up to ones type
there is also a very valuable sugge
ton. The importance of rejecting per-
sonal individuality in costume is ap-
pIeciated by many women who design
their W clothes and hand the designs
to tailor, dressmaker and milliner to
reproduce in practical guise. The ac-
tress in her part is always dressed in
conformity with the character she is
portraying, but her costumes-and there
Is an important ~point-are made to suit
, her figure lines while expressing a spe.
cial sort of personality. Therefore If
the delightful flounces of the 1880 Pc
Rod suit your type exactly, but are a
bit trying to your too solid figure, adopt
the %fiounces, but see to it that they are
so cut and SO arranged that the lines
Of the silhouette are right.

Inside the Enemy'S Lines
By FRANK N. oRRIcA

TATHEN the great European war
NV broke out Ben Iddings. an
American In his nineteenth
year. was seized with a de-
sire to see something of the fracas.
He had no preferences for either side.
but found 1t more convenient to go to
England and enlist there. Having
been a national guardsman at home,
he knew something of the duties of n
soldier and was enrolled with a corps
that crossed the channel after the first
expcditionary force of regulars. He be-
longed to the cavalry.
One cold day in December he was
scouting with a small portion of his
regiment when they encountered a SUI
perior body Of uhlans and were not
only put TO fight. but scattered. Ben
instead of getting started toward the
lines Of the allies was headed in the
other direction. 1t vas neal nightfall.
and he got away from his pursuers
under cover of the darkness. Wander
Ing about, he came upon a house.
Quite sure Of a welcome from any
Belgian. he rode boldly up to the door
and shouted. An old woman appeared.
Ben told her that he was q soldier in
the British army and received q well
come. He was invited to put his horse
in an clubhouse and make himself at
home in the dwelling.
The oldest daughter of the family
was a pretty girl a year or two younger
than Ben. He was q good looking
young fellow, and the girl could not
conceal her admiration for him. Al
ready Red Cross supplies for the Bel
gians had begun to arrive from Ameri.
CO. and when Ben avowed that he had
come from that liberal land the whole
family was quite ready TO fall down
and worship him. They persuaded him
not to try to regain the British lines
until the next day, when some expe-
dent might occur to them by which
they could assist him to do so.
Early In the morning Ben was awak
ened by men talking German under his
window, and the Belgian girl raped
at his door and warned him that uh
lans were below. Ben spran. put Of bee
