1 LOVE YOU DADDY

ri love you Daddy" the childish voice
Rings through the house all day;
The sunshine of his merry laugh
Drives every cloud away.
His little toys piled everywhere
In child-like disarray,.
And no one cares to move one
So long as he wants to play,
If you find you're falling over them,
Just go round another way;
For what pleasure would neat
house give,
All orderly, clean and still,
Were there no baby's joyous voice
The long, sad days to fill,
A toy-flled house, and little child
Even the thought gives the heart a
thrill.
This blessing then humbly pray to
keep,
II it be dear Lord, Thy will

THE REST ROOM

One year ago in February some la
dies of Cookeyille led by Mrs. Fred
White, started out to establish a rest
room in Cookeville, and Mrs. White in
her untiring and unselflsh devotion to
the work has succeeded in founding
what bids fair TO be one OF The most
useful institutions of its class, any,
where to be found.
+ In tbs year there have been 1925
different people to register there, and
many come and go, and fail to register
Represented in this number are 40
towns, Is states and Shanghai, China.
What rest room can show a record like
that in the first year of service.
Mrs White was asked one day this
week if she were thinking Of giving
up her work in behalf of the rest
room. She replied quickly, mo, in
deed, | am not. The country people
have enjoyed "Wayside" too much for
me to think of giving it up, and the
town people, too, have found it such
a convenience"
"Wayside" has been, and is this
winter, more than ever, a rest room
indeed, to many tired mother, with
tired, cross baby, who, heretofore has
had to sit out in cold rain in the wagon
waiting for men to close a deal and
start home. For a year now many
tired shopper has foGr.3 rest anc
comfort at "Wayside", and Miss Jerni.
gan, the pleasant and resourceful mat
ron, says: "Out-of-town people enjoy
the rest room more at lunch hour than
any other time" One and all feel
free to bring family and friends to-
rot hnr of 111nnh on6 1a1yo
th~t much dreaded day of trading a
day of social pleasure as well.
Cookeville school children, town
shoppers, strangers and pedestrians of
all ages and class, come by to warm,
to rest, to arrange toilet, to seek in
formation, to meet friend, and last,
but some say best of all, to find some
thing good to read. For besides the
rest room features there is best of lite
rature to be found there at all times.
Books are let out at five cents per
week, or there has been equipped de-
lightful reading room, where one can
bask in warmth and comfort, and read
and read. Many young people of the
town have been taking advantage of
this splendid feature and one fine fell
low, Harry jenkins, has read every
child's book in the reading room-and
there are many Of the best.
The merchants of Cookeville in their
usual generous way of progressing
have made number of substantial
donations toward the maintenance of
this accommodation for their custo-
mers. People in general. both men
and women, make free will donations
toward it. One woman from. the
country made liberal donation; one
man in the country donated load Of
wood recently. Any donation to the
rest room is always very acceptable
and very much appreciated, for of
course there is a great deal of neces-
sary expense attached to SO great, a
luxury.
Cookeville feels a pardonable pride
in her rest room, and greater pride
in the woman who thinks not Of glory
for self but only of simple service to
her fellow man. May the perfume
from this alabaster box continue to
fill our atmosphere, even unto distant
lands

WHEN FAIRIES SUP

When wake SO scared at night,
And lie as still as anymouse,
Soon I know what's caused my fright
'Tis the acorns falling on the house.
From the trees above the roof
They fall, and roll off to the ground,
But waking suddenly, it is in truth,
A loud and terribly frightening sound.
But when the sunlight calls to me,
/ gather every acorn cup,
Then prepare a little tea,
And invite the fairies in to sup.

A BABY'S KISS

There is nothing sweeter than a
baby's kiss,
1t gives us a foretaste of heavenly
bliss,
Like petals from blown roses, they
fall
On cheek and lips to our hearts
enthrall.
Far sweeter than any fragrance that
blows
From the heart of the sweetest rose
that grows,
Is the fresh, sweet fragrance Of a
baby's kiss;
You had better anything miss, than
this.

The etiquette Of marriage differs
widely in different lands. In Russia
the night before the ceremony a dance
is given which lasts all night. and on
the actual day of the marriage the
bridegroom and his friends walk
about the village playing musical in
struments and throwing sugar to the
children.
In Spain etiquette is so restrictive
in courtship. and IL is so difficult for
young people TO get TO know one an
other, that one wonders how they ever
manage 10 get married at all. Even
when, after many difficulties. the en-
gagement,is accomplished, the parents
have a deciding voice in fixing the
date; and. as they prefer long engage

Care of Hands
In Summer
81 ANNETTE ANGERT.

EEl N summer constant care of the
WE hands is necessary for the
~ reason that the hand is ex-
posed to rough exercise and
TO hot suns and winds. Rowing, espe-
cially, subjects the skin TO that bis
tering sunbeam that comes from the
reflection Of sunlight on water, and
the palms of the hands to callouses.
After coming in from any outdoor
exercise in which heavy gloves have
not been worn, battle the hands in
warm water to cleanse them. Corn
meal or oatmeal, mixed with almond
meal, is excellent to wash them with,
because the meal not only cleanses
but softens and soothes the cuticle.
Then. if the sun has been very hot,
battle them with vinegar in which a
little water has been stirred, and
gently rub cold cream or cows cream
into the skin. The hands may then be
busted with oatmeal and wiped off.
They will look soft and milky white
and feel refreshed.
At night use a lotion on them. or
meal and milk. and then cold cream.
letting the cream remain on all night.
Rub some of the cream into the cor
ners of the nails every night, or every
alternate night. TO prevent the skin be-
coming callous at the corners, and
twice each day push the flesh uown

Repeat this every time the hands are

It will be easy to keep the nails in
good condition If the orange stick is
used frequently. and the file employed
every day, keeping the nail corners
well rounded. Smooth the edges with
an emery board and then soak the
finger ends in rain water or distilled
water, mixed with glycerine and rose
water. This will soften the nails so
that any ragged ends at the corners
may be trimmed off with the nail scls-
sors Never use a sharp instrument
to cleanse the nails, for the skin be-
meath the nail and the nail itself will
be roughened and scratched so that II
will require a long time to remove the
injury and to cleanse the nails after

Where the fingers are really dirty
