and they were cousins.
Johnnie Quackles did not have
any brothers or sisters, and Mamie
Quack didn't either, so they
played together just like brother and
sister, although Johnnie wished
Mamie was boy and Mamie
wished Johnnie were a girl.
One day when Johnnie and Mamie
were padding around in the yard,
Johnnie said, IF you were a boy
we could have some fun"
you needn't think because I am
a girl do not know how to have
fun just as well as you do" re-
piled Mamie, with anger in her
voice. 81 am just as big as you are
and l am just as brave; try me and
see IL am not"
"All right, l WILL" answered John
ME QuaclSles, Tapping his wings
and waddling up the bank of the
pond. II bet you won't go on a
picnic in the woods"
Yes, 1 WILL" said Mamie Quack,
waddling after Johnnie and waving
her wings. II will go in and make
the sandwiches this minute, and you
cannot have a real picnic without
them"
"All right, and 1 will get some
matches and q basket to put the
lunch in" said Johnnie.
What are you going to do with
the matches, Johnnie Quackles?
You know your mother never let's
you play with matches"
What did 1 tell your said john
ME. ''Girls are never any fun; they
ask too many questions: besides
that they are afraid to do anything.
You can not have real picnic
without matches any more than
you can without sandwiches.
IF you are not afraid you will
not ask questions, and see what I
am going to do with the matches
when we get in the woods
''I am not one bit afraid, John
ME Quackles, but you know that
you might SINCE your wings II you
light matches" said Mamie. "Any-
way, I am not afraid and I'll go
Just the same"
Pretty soon Johnnie came back
with the basket and matches, which
he hid under his wing-the matches.
not the basket-and Mamie packed
the sandwiches and the pickles and
the apples and some little tarts
which made Johnnie's mouth water
to look at, he wanted to eat one
so much.
Now, Madam Quack and Madam

Sprucing Up the Children

If your children look thin, pale and
tired, do not shut them up in the
house and dose them with patent
medicines.
Remember they are already suffer-
ing from seven months confinement
In school room which may or may
not have been properly ventilated.
The languor may be due not only to
change Of weather, but also to lack
of fresh air and exercise, says an
exchange.
Encourage them to play outdoors
and to eat whatever fresh vegetables
are available. Stewed rhubarb, and
apples, baked or stewed with little
sugar, are appetizers.
If the languor persists after you
have tried the simple things you know
about, consult your physician.

Cleaning Paint

Dissolve two tablespoonfuls of
borax in a little warm water and
then add three pints of cold water
to this. Wash the paints with this,
using a sponge. and dry with a soft
chamois or linen cloth. Never put
ammonia into water to clean varnish
paint, says the Philadelphia Record.
Finger marks are best removed from
furniture by washing with water
colored with vinegar and then wipe
with a dry cloth. When obliged to
use soap on paint, rinse it off and
wipe dry. Bran Is far better than
soap for cleaning paint.

EVENING STAR PATTERN
CREPE FRocK WITH EMBROIDERED BoLERo
PREPARED BY THE PICTORIAL REVIEW.

Two yards and quarter of fringe
are sufficient for the trimming.
In cutting out the skirt the pattern
of the back gore is laid on a length
wise fold of the material, and to the
right OF this section the front gore is
placed, also on the lengthwise fold.
Opposite the front gore and resting
on the selvidge edge of the goods is
the piecing for the skirt. The pat
tern may be used on embroidery or
lace instead of linen, If desired. A
fanciful effect may even be intro
duced by pleating the goods before
aand, then sewing down the pleats
so that after the material Is cut and
added to the skirt and the pleats re-
leased a tiny panel will be formed.
Many novel ideas may be rung in
upon these designs If one takes the
pains to plan them. The bands and
piecings for the trimming are cut
crosswise on a lengthwise fold of the
material. For these insertions of
lace may be substituted If preferred.
Particularly suitable for dressy cot
ton frocks are the-new figured voiles,
either printed or embroidered. They
are very lovely and make up most
effectively in the short-waisted and
many variations of the Dolly Warden
designs we are to have throughout
the summer. The voile frocks can be
worn even in the early spring. The
voile frock succeeds the organdie
frock, though the former will remain
in favor until the end of the summer.
Wolfe has the advantage of being soft,
plable and not easily crushed, while
organdie must have many DRESSINGS
to keep 1t in pristine condition.
Taffetas are charming and are used
in the light cafe au lait shades, often
combined with blue, as well as in the
darker .hues, such as maroon, plum
color and olive brown.

And thy precious souls I'll keep;
Come to me, I love thee.

He tried TO save his child;
He battled the waves with all
human power.
But the wind was bowling wild.

If there is anything that gets our

guys spill so much of that kind of
dope that it is hard to get wise to
their spiel. Kids should be put
next by their parents that slang is
on the Fritz and should ought to be
cut out. If had kid that couldn't
put over staight stuff l would wOllop

are shines, proper, when it comes to
slang. They think that mercy,

it comes to slang. He bawls me
out to a fare ye well and am in
