ARAB BELLA
COPYRIGHT BJrTscuUee
 EgoPAPel< SysotcATEkS

Arabella was a beautiful wax doll, in her day, and was given the best of care by her mother who was very fond of her, and when the mother was too old to play with dolls she wrapped Arabella in a soft cloth and put her in a drawer, where she re- mained for many years.
 Then one day she took her out, and Arabella heard her say to a little girl who stood beside her:
 This was my best doll when I was a little girl. Now I am going to give her to you. Her name is Arabella, and you must be very careful of her, for she is wax and cannot be dropped without breaking, as your other dolls. "
 But, mother" the little girl said, "can't she be mended if I break herr"
 'No," said her mother. ''it will spoil poor Arabella if you drop her, as her head is very soft.'
 Arabella was very carefully handled for a few days. She was put in a pretty carriage and wheeled about; i; then she was undressed at night and put into a nice little bed, and she had a new dress and a stylish bon net, and a number of little girls came to see her. Her new mother told them that Arabella was very old and that her mother played with her when she

GIRLS ALWAYS GETTING HURT
Small Boy Gives Reasons for Object ing to Sister as PIaymate-Ob-
 servaton of Child Life.

In the Woman's Home Companion Mary Heaton Worse writes a story en- titled, "The Independence of Sarah" It is full of wise observation of child life. In the following extract, Alice, the mother of a family, learns why her small son Robert does not want his sister Sarah as playmate.
 Her sense of justice made Alice feel that Robert should let Sarah into his out-of-door games. She had the ory that little boys and girls play the same games if they are brought up naturally together. For the most part CT; she shared it strongly; she shared it vociferously. Robert diff fered.
 He put it this way: Fellows don't want girl forever tagging around and always yelling.
 CT should think responded his mother, that you want your little sis ter to play with you
 Thus driven into a corner he said:
 "I want her to play with me, all right; but if she's going to play, why don't she play? She always gets hurt with the least thing and comes home bawling.'
 "To this Alice responded: It's her feelings that get hurt
 "I don't care what part ofNher gets hurt said the downright Robert, If it gets hurt-and she yells, and the boys say to me: "Oh, gee! Here comes your sister again. Run!"' '.1 can run just as fast as lots of you, said Sarah. I can run faster than Skinny Allen. I can run faster than Mud Morse
 "T know you can,' responded her brother gloomily; that's what makes it so fierce. We'd get away lots often CT if you couldn't"

COULD DO NOTHING MORE
Captains Responsibility for the Safety of His Passengers Had Been
 Automatically Ended

The dangers of travel by sea at this time have played havoc with the nerves of timid passengers
 Early one morning recently there was considerable commotion on the decks of coastwise vessel ply ing be- tween Savannah and Baltimore, when a scantily clad man hurried from his stateroom and dashed toward the up- per deck. On the way he ran into the captain of the vessel
 Whats the matter, captain?" he managed to gasp. Have we been tor pedoed?"
 Calm yourself, my dear sir, and be prepared for the worst" answered the official
 "Oh. don't tell me we're going down!" moaned the other. Quick, where are the life preservers?"
 "They wouldn't be of any service at this stage" explained the captain.
 "Too late?" quavered the despairing passenger.
 "Yes,' said the captain, very sol emnly. We've done all we can for you. You'll have to look out for your self from now on. You see, we've just tied up to the dock''

 The rolling collar, deep cuffs and wide belt are covered with a braided pattern in soutache which may match the coal in color or be of a contrary color. The coat fastens with small high buttons of glass. Small crochet buttons would look as well.
 The pretty hat is a shape covered with light silk plush and having a narrow ribbon band about the crown. A short upstanding fancy ostrich feather, usually in gay light colors, looks as if designed to please the eyes of the little wearer, and is therefore pleasing to everyone else.
 Fancy shoes finish the details of the toilette and complete her readiness for presentation among other dressed up' little ones.

For those who like wide embroid- cries some new fiouncings have been made in which the patterns are fine and pretty and both the material and the work durable. Here is one of them showing a founcing with the surface not too much covered with embroidery, and a lacelike but strong border along the scalloped edge. It is woven with wide beading along the straight edge, set between rows of hemstitching which is made by ma chinery in the top of the flouncing.
 Readings play an essential part in the construction of edgings, flounc- ings and insertions. Even the least expensive underwear is designed with reference to lingerie ribbons, which add much to it's attractiveness. Since the lightweight muslins have come in to general use for underwear, many garments are cut on the simplest lines and adjusted to the figure by means of ribbon run through beading This simplifies both making and launder- ing.
 Many of the new fiouncings have a dotted surface with a small dainty embroidered pattern along the we'll finished scalloped edge They are in better taste than the large patterns in inferior workmanship. There is de- mand, too, for narrow durable laces to be used with the embroideries Allover patterns with small floral de-

A rich but simple coat for the small girl to wear upon occasions that allow her to be dressy is shown in the pie ture appearing here. It is a pretty pattern, which may be used for the child from four to eleven years old, and it is not difficult for the home dressmaker to manage, a matter which will be appreciated.
 The coat is made of a light-colored or white moire. The body is plain and cut shorter at the waist in front than in the back. It has long shoul- der seams and full coat sleeves. It is lined with plain soft silk and may be interlined for greater warmth, or worn over knitted jacket when cold weather demands extra warmth in the clothing.
 The plain skirt is accordion-plaited and sewed to the body. It is finished

if You Are Too Thin.

If you are dreadfully thin, nervous and unhappy, this bath will set you up considerably: Sulphate of potas- s1um, 50 grams; subcarbonate of soda, 100 grams; gelatin, 40 grams Dissolve the gelatin in quart of boiling water and add it and the salts to hot bath.
 If you cannot get the herbs and do not feel that you can spend much money on anything else. put two pounds of common oatmeal or bran in a cheesecloth bag and agitate this in the hot bath water till it looks milky. Either of these simple things will make bath that clears, whitens and smoothes the skin like magic

was little girl. But Arabella laughed to herself She did not feel old, and she knew if her mother gave her good care she would always look young and feel young.
 There came a day, however, when her new mother became tired of her, and she was left all day without be- ing dressed, and sometimes she would have to lie in bed for days at a time with her eyes closed. At other times she would be left in her car riage all night, and there she would sit, staring into the darkness, and she would wish her new mother would put her to bed so she could close her eyes.
 One night Arabella was left in her carriage on the piazza all night.
 "Oh, dearl" thought Arabella. q will freeze out here in the night air"
 And a big dog came up to her car riage and sniffed at her.
 "Oh, dear. oh, dear!" she cried. What will I do? l am so afraid!"
 Then the dog licked her cheek and took off some of the red. Poor Ara bella almost fainted but she sat quite still and looked straight ahead, and the dog walked away.
 Arabella was glad when the day light came, but the sun came also, and her new mother did not move her carriage, for she was busy making mud pies on the shady side of the house. By and by the sun crept up to Arabellas carriage and then to her feet, and finally all over her.
 "Oh, dear" thought Arabella, will no one save me? I shall melt. was very busy with her cooking.
 At lunch time the new mother ran around to the front of the house to meet her father, and then she saw Arabella, and such an Arabella you never saw. Her new mother looked at her, and ran into the house for her mother to come quick and see what had happened to Arabella Poor Arabella's face was changed, indeed; the wax had melted and run down her cheeks; she looked old and sad
 T told you not to leave her in the sum- said the mother to the little girl.
 But can't her face be put in shape again?" asked the new mother.
 Mo- said Arabellas first mother, '.she is spoiled, and to think I played with her for years, and she was as good as new when I gave her to you
 She took Arabella out of the car riage. You poor old dolly she said, and Arabelia leaned lovingly against her. "The children nowadays do not love their dolls as I did when 1 was a little girl. 1 thought as much of you then as a mother dGsss of her child. I'll put you back in the attic" she said, carrying Arabella into the house, for 1 cannot put you in the ragbag. Even if your face is spoiled, you always will be Arabella to me, no matter how you lock-
 So Arabella went back to the soft cloth and the drawer, where she was glad to be, for she was tired, and she ,losed her eyes for a long sleep.

Tinker Gets Prison Sentence

John C. Tinker who was ar

back here a few days ago on a
charge of forgery was sentenced
to serve from one to three years
in the state prison at Florence.
Tinker pleaded guilty when
taken before Judge F. w. Per-

drinking when he committed the
act Of passing a bad $25 check
on Bab5itt Brothers store.
Tinker was a paroled priso-
ner, having been paroled two

a one year term at Florence.
He had been sent from Kingman,
