CHAPTER IlI-Continued.

Indeed they are not" cried Pru-
dence Loyalty. "They are young, lively,
mischievous, l know-and am glad of
IT. But 1 have lived with them ever
since they were born, and l ought to
know them. They are unselfish, they
are sympathetic, they are always gen.
erous. They do foolish and irritating
things-but never things that are hate
full and mean. They are all right at
heart, and that is all that counts. They
are not bad girls What have they
done today? They were exasperating,
and humiliating, too, but what did they
do that was really mean? They en-
barrassed and mortified me, but not
the effect on me, you know Would
that be just or fair? At heart, they
meant no HARM"
1t must be confessed that there were
many serious faces among the Ladies.
Some cheeks were flushed, some eyes
were downcast, some lips were COM
pressed and some were trembling. Ev-
cry mother there was asking in her
heart, did 1 punish my children just
for the effect on me? Did judge my
children by what was in their hearts,
or just by the trouble they made me?'
And the silence lasted so long that
1T became awkward. Finally Mrs. Prem.
tiss crossed the room and stood by
Prudence's side. She laid hand ten
derby on the young girls arm. and said
In voice that was slightly tremulous
81 believe you are right, my dear. II
is what girls are at heart that really
counts. 1 believe your sisters are all
you say they are. And one thing am
very sure of-they are happy girls to
have a sister so patient and loving and
just. Not all real mothers have as
much to their credit ~

For the Little One.

Encourage the child to wait on itself
and you will be saved much work and
will be giving the child an education
which it will never be able to value
until 1t has reached years of discre-
ton. There are so many little helps
that can be offered to make work at
tractive to children. For instance, a
successful way to teach a child to put
its soiled clothes out of sight is to
make for its own use a little laundry
bag of some cheerful color and on it
embroider the word Laundry" Hang
it on a peg low enough for the child
to reach and you will not have to re-
mind the child more than two or three
times of its duty.
If you cannot afford to have nursery
furniture for the child's room, you
should at least let the child share a
bureau or dressing table with someone
so that ii can be taught quite young to
put hair ribbons, handkerchiefs, etc,
In certain place. Let it understand
that the spaca reserved is all its very

CHAPTER w.
A Secret Society.

Carol and Lark, in keeping with
their twinship, were the dearest chums
and comrades. To them the great,
rambling barn back of the parsonage
was a most delightful place. 1t had n
big cowshed on one side, and horse
stalls on the other, with heavenly"
haymow over all. and with "chutes" for
the descent of hay-and twins
Now the twins had a secret society
of which they were the founders, the
officers and the membership body. Its
name was Skull and Crossbones. Lark
furnished the brain power for the or
ganization, but her sister was an en-
thusiastic and energetic second. Car
OILS club name was Lady Gwendolyn,
and Lark's was Sir Alfred Angelcourt
ordinarily, although subject to frequent
change. The old barn saw stirring
times after the coming of the new par
sonage family.
"Hark Hank !" sounded a kissing
whisper from the corncrib, and Connie,
eavesdropping outside the barn, shiv-
cred sympathetically
"What is it, Oh, what is it?" walled
the unfortunate lady.
'Look Look Run for your life -
Then while Connie clutched the barn
door in a frenzy, there was sound of
rafting corn as the twins scrambled
upward, a silence, low thud, and an
unromantic "OuchI" as Carol bumped
her head and stumbled.
Are you assaulted?" shouted the
bold Sir Alfred, and Connie heard a
wild scuffie as he rescued his compan-
ion from the clutches of the old halter
on which she had stumbled. Up the
haymow ladder they hurried, and then
slid recklessly down the hay chutes.
Presently the barn door was flung
open, and the society" knocked Con-
ME flying backward, ran madly around
the barn a few times, and scurried un-
der the fence and into the chicken
coop.
A little later Connie, assailed with
shots of corncobs, ran bitterly toward
the house. 'Peeking" was strictly for
hidden when the twins were engaged
in Skull and Crossboncs activities.
And Comics soul burned with de-
sire. She felt that this secret society
was threatening not only her happis
ness, but also her health, for she could
not sleep for horrid dreams of Skulls
and Crossbones at night, and could not
eat for envying the twins their secret
and mysterious joys. Finally she ap-
piled to Prudence, and received assist
ance.
The afternoon mail brought to the
parsonage an envelope addressed to
misses Carol and Lark Starr, the
Methodist Parsonage, Mount Mark,

perched at the front of the crown
The owner of such hat will bless the
milliner who created 1t, for it can be
worn almost anywhere.
A small, quiet little turban is draped
with soft satin and finished at the edge
with band of fur. One little ostrich
plume has the temerity to curl and
nod squarely Mt the front. This little
hat is meant for wintry weather, and
is modest in design and price, so that
1t is not much of an extravaganza even
though it be the last of several prede-
cessOrs In the present season.

Wherever 1t is set on to the net in the
bodice metallic ribbon joins them.
The bodice opens over a small
chemisette of chiffon, and the frock is
worn over skirt of striped silk and
low underbodice' of silk, which re-
peats the colors In the skirt. In the
model the underskirt and bodice are
in black and white and the ribbon used
is silver gauze.
The low shoes and the hat are both
in black and white, and the entire cos
tune is one more triumph for the ar
fist who knows how to use this brill
liant contrast. 1t is nearly always
good and in this instance, it is superb.

Pleasure In Well-Doinu.

Pleasure has way of coming indi-
and when least you expect her. She
turks in the happiness of work well
done. She fingers in the consciousness
of honest bookkeeping with life. and
she always is to be found in the joy
of growth and progress. In all these
ways honest pleasure is to be found.
This isn't meant to be dull preach
ment against anything but work. But
it does mean to say that happiness lies
in doing and the consciousness of WELL
doing.

Two hats that do not commit them
selves to any particular season or
cline, and one that announces it's de-
votion to winter, are shown in the
group of new millinery pictured here.
1t would seem like beginning the win
ter all over again to invest In winter
millinery at this late date. So, if oc-
casion demands something new In the
way of headwear, the ever-ready lady
betakes herself to some smart mil
linery establishment. There she views
the new things made In anticipation Of
the spring for those who journey
south to meet 1t.
There she will find hats of satin,
hats of silk, hats of combinations of
three fabrics with straw braids, and
hats of many other things. They are
not the hats of summertime, but will
not find themselves out of place under
sunny skies. Neither are they winter
hats, yet they are not too airy and
fragile to face snow flurries They are
hats of the demi-season, and you may
wear fur scarf or no scarf at all with
them.
At the left a hat of natter blue
faille silk is shown, embellished with
black silk soutache braid and lovely
little handmade roses of silk. They
are in a soft rose color and are set
fiat against the hat. A lot of fine
handwork makes this an expensive bit
of luxurious headwear, but it's excuse
for extravaganza is its loneliness.
At the center of the group is hat of
black satin, simple narrow-brimmed
shape. Its claim to originality rests
upon the deep flounce of black lace
that falls from the top of the crown. 1t
falls over collar of silver ribbon, and
terminates at each side of the front.
The collar is finished with the sim
plest and most self-satisfied of little
bows which asserts its high quality,

The geography Of Russia was re
sponsible for these.
Russia's great rivers spring from a
single region east and south OF Ptero-
grad.
In early days these rivers we're
more or less connected by interlacing
chains Of lakes.
In summer, tribesmen could go by
flatboat to all parts Of the great plain.
Boat routes Joined the Baltic, White
Black and Caspian seas
In western Europe mountain ran
ges split the people into minor tribes
which developed into the nations Of
Germany. France, italy, Austria. Hun
gary, Spain, etc.
Russia had no mountains in its in-
terror. but was encircled by long
ranges Of mountains, which made 1t
in effect a continent in itself.
The Urals on the east the Caucasus
mountains on the south, the Carpa-
thians and the German ranges on the
west. made the dwellers in the big
basin turn to each other for trading
purposes.
Within these mountains the tribes
travelled by sledges in the winter
even as they travelled by boat in sum-
mer.
So that the tribes OF Russia lived to
themselves, having little dealing with
the other tribes Of Europe.

Five belts having widely varying

WOULD REVIVE STURGEON
INDUSTRY IN Delaware
Stan Correspondent.


DOVER, Del, March 21.-While at
tending the Conference Of Governors
in Philadelphia last Saturday, Cover
nor Townsend started a movement for
the protection of the sturgeon indus
try in the Delaware river, which
seems to be approaching the point Of
extinction. It was formerly a very
profitable industry.
A bill is pending in the Legislature
declaring a closed season for five
years against sturgeon, and Governor
Townsend asked Governors Brum-
baugh, of Pennsylvania, and Edge, Of
New Jersey, If they would bring the
matter to the attention Of their Le-
Rislatures. now in session. with a
view to having them enact similar
laws. and both promised to do so.
As Governor Townsend has 80 days
in which to sign the delaware bill, he
will have ample tim7 10 ascertain
what the neighboring States are 60
ing TO do about the matter If they
adopt similar restrictions, he says, he
will sign the Delaware bill. which
however, would be ineffective without
the cooperation of the other two
States.
Sturgeon are gradually being de-
pleted, so far as the Delaware river
is concerned, due to the fact thai
there is no legal regulation of the
fishing season, sufficient to protect
the fish. New Jersey fishermen have
profited most by the industry, but De
laware will have the same opportun
ity if there is a closed season long en-
ough TO permit the sturgeon to re
| turn 10 these waters.
The Senate bill protecting man
moose and sturgeon for the next fiv
years was passed by the House. Jane
| NJ. Tunnel said the Federal Govern
ment has promised restock the Del
aware river if the State thereon pre-
vide for a closed season for a shol
season.
