~OUNTERPANES, always
I like that word; it has such an
- old-timey, quiet ring suggestive
of Martha Washington and hand
work. while spreads" spells ma
chinery, with all its noise-and mar
velous possibilities. But alas. all
counterpanes are not handmade,
though many are at II. D. Dougherty
Company. 1852 Chestnut street, a
shop particularly we'll equipped with
dainty bed accessories. Their sim
pie striped dimity counterpanes,
with scalloped-cut corners to fit
brass bedsteads, come with the
bolster roll or the pillow slip to
match. There are also Marseilles
spreads and, last but not least, the
lovely hand-embroidered counter
panes, some skillfully covered with
an elaborate pattern done in French
knots and edged with fringe, and
most effective in their charming
white daintiness.

Charlie went on talking excitedly.
 Fifteen minutes later the three boys were at large sandbank which hid them from view.
 Charlie and Leon. had taken two ears of corn from Mir Deans garden and Ralph had stolen some matches.
 The boys took several large stones and placed them in circle, then put the dried leaves they had gathered inside
 Ralph Ii tthe fire while Charlie and Leon husked the corn.
 Wont it be a joke?" chuckled Charlie
 But when the first ear of corn was roasted Leon got badly burned trying to take it from the fire.
 So Ralph tired to take it out, but he also got burned.
 Charlie was quite frightened, so he put the fire out.
 When the boys went home their mothers, seeing their burns, made them tell what they had been doing
 So Ralph and Leon each had to give a nickel to pay MT. Dean, and Charlie had to give dime, as he was the one who proposed it. Moral: Do not. touch what does not | belong to you.

How Teddy Won a Thrift Stamp.

Tn the eastern part of our own state. there lived a little boy whom we will call Teddy Gray. His parents were poor and proud, as a good many folks in that district were.
 Teddys father was a farmer. and that summer his crops had been very poor, and they would have been worse had Teddy not spent so much time caring for them.
 Mrs. Gray was a motherly sort of person and was trying her best to fol- low MT. HOover's instructions.
 Teddy was nine, and a true Ameri can patriot. At school the drive for thrift stamps was raging, and every boy and girl was asked to buy at least one But the Gray's had a rIace for every quarter, and Teddys chance for 8 spare one seemed rather slim. This worried him a lot, and at last he told his mother about it.
 Mrs. Gray thought a minute and then her face frightened. and she ex- claimed: T have it. sonny" and dis appeared into the house. She returned presently with a Norwich Bulletin. which she opened to the next to the last page. Then pointing to the col umn where it says, Win Thrift Stamp" she handed it to Ted "Oh, mother he cried after he had read it over. I'll do it. and if I get a prize I'll ask for a stamp.
 The next Thursday found a very eager boy waiting for the postroan When the paper finally did come, he wasn't very slow about finding the page and-sure enough, there was B. Theodore Gray Thrift Stamp. And thus it came about that Teddy had his Thrift Stamp with the rest of his friends.

Why, they were shipping as fast aS their little paws could work My such a sight. This was something that Miss Tidy would never forget, But what she Was wondering about was where these folks could get the news about the war.
 As she was glancin.y about she saw a certain magazine on I table. She thought it was very .mpolite to go ever and look It it. so she tried her best to read to herself all she could see from where she sat. She couldn't see very much, but what she d.d see was the most importan. part of it all II was: Wanted people to work for the Red Cross and help to win this war"
 It made poor Miss Tidy's heart tFrob faster and faster. for she was no slacker At last sine asked Mrs. Bruin what she could do to help win the war There were tears in Mrs. Bruins bright eyes as she answered Ter visitor She tolil Miss Tidy to :oin in the shipping circle. She said You may sit here. for this is where my son. Cubby Bear was supposed to sit, but he is gore to be a mascot. hope he will return some day, for he was very dear tU me"
 Miss Tidy was Very glad to help. She went to her work with q kind will and shipping up enough rags to make a pillow.
 Soon they had dinner. After dinner Miss Tidy coaxed Mrs. Bruin to make pillow of her shipping, before she'd start for home
 Mrs, Bruin gladly did so and before long it was finished. She told her little visitor that she coulI bring it to the Red Cross rooms if she wanted | to.
 Miss Tidy said she woul and with many goodbys and thank you she hur- ried homeward with a light heart When she reached home she told her parents all about the two bear 1 families. At first they wouldn't be lieve her. but after all when she 1 showed them the pillow they both believed her. They let her bring it to the Red Cross working rooms and they praised those bears. Oh! ever Sc i much.

James and the eypsies.

A band of gypsies had come to town. James was overjoyed and he asked his mother if he might go over and have his fortune told.
 "No," said his mother. "The chil dren are sick, and it is dangerous there. They have the measles"
 James wanted to go in spite of his mothers protest He did not care so much about having his fortune told, but he wanted to go just to satisfy his curiosity. He had never seen a gypsy camp in all his life. After dinner he went out, and crossing the meadow, he arrived at the camp of the gypsies.
 Some of the gypsies were walking, some were sitting on the ground eat ing, and others were feeding the horses.
 James crouched along, as he did not want to be seen by theTn. When he arrived home his mother asked him vhereAhe. had been. James. answered:
