A THOUGH our mother is al
~ ways a mother, she is ever a
sister in spirit and often we
tell her she is younger than Lottie
and l by years and years. When
Jack is home we form a combination
of down with the blues" and not a
gloomy, foreboding shadow notifies
our sunshine.
Once a girl confessed, 81 am al
ways so glad l haven't any brothers
and sisters. I'd be so jealous of my
mother if thought she loved any one
else but me-"
l laughed at her, scolding her.
SILLY girl, do you think a mothers
heart is so small she couldn't love
more than one child? We are three
and to each one of US mother gives
so much of her love, her life and her
strength we could never be jealous Of
each other"
Perhaps" she added thoughtfully,
"a brother would be company, but
sister"
knew what she was going to say
so l interrupted her before she nm
ished the sentence.
"a sister must have pretty clothes
and you would have to share all the
little luxuries of your life. Isn't that
what you are thinking Off" She
nodded.
Then l told her Of my sister and
how close we were, all we have meant
to each other in the past and how
we dreamed of future which would
ever hold US together.
l told her of the days when we
were just little children travelling on
the road and how l, a year older
than Lottie, felt my Importance and
looked after her, protecting and
guarding her. She was little mother
to me then and l was a little mother
to her, until Jack, younger than both
of us, shouldered the responsibility of
looking after his big sisters and or
dered us to obey or to return home
in disgrace.
To me it is appalling to read of
brothers and sisters waging legal war
against each other in the public
courts. A father has left an unjust
will and the cast-off heirs are fighting
the favorite ones without piety or
pity Their unhappiness is Haunted
before the world in headlines which
brand them as outcasts and children
OF Cain. Their suffering should be
a warning to warning humanity, for
nothing but sorrow can be born of
unnatural conditions.
1t seems so dreadful that we allow
ourselves to wade through muddy
channels when, if we choose, we can
always tread on evergreens.
Lottie, Jack and have always
said we were the triangle that makes
a magic circle when spun around, be-
cause our mother is the axis.
When talking of brother and sister
love l always think of a tender ex-
ample, and as it has all the color of a
fairy story l must tell it to you.
A True Good-Luck Story.
We knew in California two or
phans, brother and sister, who lived
The Washington herald., 1916-03-03

in the real old-fashioned, proverbial
garnet. The boy worked while his
sister kept house for him, earning a
few extra pennies selling her home
made jellies and jams. They lived
frugally, but we'll, and each week the
sister made her happy little journey
to the bank.
Sometimes the brother would insist
uries which spell happiness to most
young girls, but she would assure
him that the future held undreamed-
of prosperity for both of them; that
a harvest is the result of careful
sowing.
After a few years they had saved
enough to buy three acres in the
country, and they left the city to be-
come little farmers. But, unhappily,
theirs did not seem to be a promising
choice and the soil was too barren to
produce profitable crops. 1t was not
long before the farm was heavily
mortgaged, and it was prophesied that
these two children who had saved so
many years would have to return to
their garnet to begin all over again.
Then came the discovery of oil in
central California, and, 10 and be-
hold their own empty acres were
drilled and great oil wells took the
place of little, forsaken, tumble
down chicken houses. Today this
brother and sister are among the
wealthiest people Of the West. Both
are married and have large families
and there are two beautiful mansions
on one lot, his home and hers.
The foundation of happiness and
success is to fight not only your own
battles, but to stand firmly by those
who need you most, and first in your
heart come the mother and the
brothers and sisters of your own
family.

easily prepared is the following: sper-
maced. ounces; white wax, l ounce;
oil Of almonds. ounces; borax, IL ounce;
gIycerin. ounces; rosewater. . ounces;
oil OF rose, 10 minims; extract Of jas
mine, IL ounce. Mix the wax, oil Of al
monds and spermaceti and melt at a
low heat. Dissolve the borax in the gly-
cerin and rOsewater previously mixed.
pour this solution gradually and with
constant stirring into the melted mix

The tonic properties contained in many
toilet waters acts most beneficially on
the skin, besides being very refreshing.
They can be easily and inexpensively
prepared at home. The essential oils and
triple extracts combined with rectified
spirits form the foundation Of even the
most highly priced toilet waters. This
is an excellent combination: Extract of
mignonette. IL pint; extract Of Cassia,
2 IL ounces; tincture Of Orris root, IL
ounces; tinCture Of tOnquin, l ounce;
tincture Of benzoin. / Il ounces; triple
rosewater, 2 ounces.
All scented waters are improved by
standing for a month or longer. After
this mixture is several weeks old it can
be diluted TO any strength desired by
adding rectified spirits. 1t is well to
pour a few ounces Of the liquid into
another bottle and, diluting 1t, allowing
the other TO remain.
The simplest and faintest perfume con-
sists of powdered orris root. 1t is not
very lasting and can be strengthened
by adding an essential Oil-rose, violet, he
hotrope, or whatever ones taste prefers.
A synthetic preparation-that is. one made
chemically-is now being largely used in
place of violet. 1t is called iOnone and
cannot be distinguished from the genuine
odoT. Here Is a formula for violet
sachet: Ground orris, u ounces; benzoin.
I ounces; spirit of almond. s drops; spirit
OF ionone 40 per cent? l dram.
Confuse the benzoin in a mortar to
coarse powder, triturate the two spirits
intimately with a small portion of the
powdered orris and then mix all the in
gradients together. This makes an in
expensive, lasting and dainty sachet
powder.
A novelty brought to this country and
sold under the names Of Frozen Per-

Answers to Correspondents.

Mrs. r. LeR.-If some one else has
written a story you have read, either
in a magazine or book, you cannot
make it into a play and sell it with
out finding yourself in serious trou-
BILE. The story does not belong to
you and it is only the author who has
the right to sell it as photoplay.
Amateur writers must be very guard
ed against the unconscious stealing
of other peoples ideas. Try to write
an original theme, put it into synop-
sis form, and send it on to the
scenario department of some moving
picture company.
E. B.-Thank you so much for
your kindly suggestion that l publish
little book of my letters illustrated
with my pictures. Some day | hope
to feel that the general public is suf-
fciently interested in me to warrant
stretching out my arms further to
them.

Jealousy Caused Homicide.

According to the testimony of An
ME Thomas, Violet Pinaker, who is
in Jail charged with the killing of
81 Pinaker, her husband, slayed her
better half in fit of jealousy; while
she was attempting to shoot Annie
Warren, her rival for the affection Of
Si Pinaker. Pinaker was shot on
December oath, and was carried to
the VOORHEES, school hospital, at Den
mark, for treatment. He died there
Tuesday night of last week. An in
quest was held Wednesday over Pin
aker's body. Only one witness was

fed as follows:
about / or 2 o'clock Friday

Pinaker called and told me she had
shot ST, but didn't intend to shoot
him; that she was shooting at Annie
Warren. The shooting occurred

Residence Burned.

Last Saturday morning at an early
hour the residence of Mrs. Julia Mil
Ter on Main street was completely
destroyed by fire. The cause of the
fire is not known. The conf1agration
entailed considerable loss, practically
everything in the residence being de-
stroyed. 1t is understood that ST.
900 insurance was carried, 1000 on
the house and $500 on the furniture.
The residence of Mrs. Tant, adjoin-
ing Mrs. Miller's property, was pre-
vented from burning by the hard
work of volunteers who prevented the
house from catching. Water connec-
tion was secured by stretching hose
from the nearest water plug, but on
account of low water pressure, very
little aid could be secured from this
source.

Prohibition in Effect.

On January first the Statewide
prohibition law went into effect.
However, the prohibition law really
became effective in this county sew
eral days prior to this date, as all the
whiskey on hand in the various dis
pensaries was sold out before Christ
mas. The Statewide measure was
submitted to the people on Septem-
ber 14th, last, when the State voted
by large majority to outlaw whis-
key in this State. Bamberg county
cast large majority in favor of
Statewide prohibition. South Caro-
line was one of seven States that
went into the dry column on the first
day of the new year.
