H RED DRAGON.

A long time ago when folks believed
In fairies they talked a good deal
about dragons.
Now, there lived In a marsh near o
certain village a big red dragon.
The king offered prizes to any one
who would kill II.
A great many brave knights OF his
army went out and came back with
wonderful tales of how they had
fought with the dragon and after
wounding 1t had only given up the
fight on account of being hurt by the
monster.
Then the kind king would say, "Nev.
er mind; you'll have better luck the
next time" And he would give them
a valuable gift.
There was with the king a little page
boy, who was a great butterfly hunter
The kings librarian had promised hin
a gold piece for every new butterfly
he would bring him.
So when the king stopped nj might
at one of the castles in the neighbor
hood of the dragon the page boy slip
ped off with his net to hunt butter
flies.
And of course he got lost and wan
dered into the swamp where the
dragon lived, and the fierce dragon
came rushing and roaring at him.
The little page boy looked around.
He hadn't a thing with which to fight
the dragon except his butterfly net.
The net was tackled to a long stout
stick, and when the dragon got near
enough the boy raised 1t and hit the
dragon a fearful whack on its fat
sides
wow" shrieked the dragon, and
with a pun it went up In the air Just
as a balloon does when you slash a
hole In the bag. The fierce old dragon
had been nothing but air and skin.
When he was sure 1t was quite dead
the little page boy grabbed the empty
dragon skin by its spiked tail and drag
ged 1t back to give to the king, OF
whom he was very fond.
He was the maddest king you ever
heard of when he saw that dead drag
on. He sen off at once for the knights
who claimed to have fought it.
-Yop-old humbugs!" cried the king
There's the dragon you Dragged about
fighting. 1t wasn't a thing but skin
and air. If you'd SO much as touched
1t with the point of a sword 1t would
have gone to pieces as 1t did when
my brave little page boy struck it with
his butterfly net"
Then the king made all the fibbing
knights give the little page boy the
gifts he had given them for fighting
the dragon, and the little page boy was
then 81 rich he bought a castle Of his
own.

Crochesed Bags.

The latest thing in crocheted bags
looks as though it were designed par
ticularly to go with the sport suit.
1t is made of two perfectly fiat circles,
crocheted Oh a plain double stitch OF
worsted or some other thick mercer
lied material. The two circles, which
are about seven inches in diameter, are
sewed firmly together all around, eX
cept for-siX inches or so at the top
The handle is a strap Of the same ma,
terial, crocheted in the same stitch and
about an inch and a half or two inches
wide. The bag is adorned with a spray
of flowers, embroidered on with the
same material in contrasting colors,
green leaves and pink or yellow bios
SONS, with loose stems hanging, and
finished off each with a rather large
bead to match the blossom. This is a
bag of brilliant blue. The same bag
could be crocheted in emerald green,
beige or deep rose-any color wished
and decorated with flowers that har-
monized.

To Liahten Housework.

Your pot lids will always have their
proper place if you will take a yard
or so Of picture molding and two
lengths of picture wire and make a lid
holder. Nail the molding ON the wall
near the stove and run the wire four
OIL five inches apart parallel with the
molding.
Keep a roll of absorbent paper over
the sink. 1t will be found useful for
other purposes besides drying your
hands, such as wiping the grease from

If your kitchen is large put casters

To wash scorched goods boil them in

Points About How to Dress Your
Twelve-yesr-oId.
This season the designers have Great
ed some very charming dresses for chill
dren. One of the most novel and pic
turesque was a party dress for a girl
of twelve.
The dress was of apricot pink crepe
de chine, made with a simple little bod
ice, open In the front with a wide box
plait, which concealed the buttons be-
meath. The small flat collar was Of the
same material, and the cuffs were the
same width as the collar. The skirt
was a plain gathered one, With wrd5
hem.
Around the bottom of the dress and
down the front on either side of the
box plat white wool was threaded
through the material In plain running
stitch.
The most novel feature was the wool
edging used as a trimming. Around
the edge of the collar and cuffs, also at
the top of the hem, an edging was
crocheted with white wool and then
with a row of china blue.
The box plat vas ornamented by
three large tight balls of china blue
wool, suspended by wool chains two
inches long.
At the belt line a cordlike affair was
used. 1t was composed Of eight or ten
strands of the blue yarn, couched at
intervals of three-quarters of an inch.
The color effect vas charming, and
the dress was really beautiful.

Others pinned their tails so low,

going water wheel that is intended to

highly visionary and entirely untried,
it has novelty and potential power that
draws attention. In addition to being
amphibious to certain degree, 1t is
theoretically capable of great speed.
Essentially it consists of two big con-

around their outer rims with ADJUST
able paddles. The horizontal axle Of
