A PLEASING GOODNIGHT SERIES

. said: ''Henessorth thou shalt Be the
guardian Of my castle"
30 the little fellow was made
seneschAI of the palace. and that
night. when every one was asleep,
he woke MP Puss and asked him to
come with him. And what do you
suppose he aid? Why. he cut little
holes in the walls and floors, so
that he could squeeze through in
casa the great doors were closed,
and in this way he would be able to
creep through the great palace
without anyone hearing or seeing
him, and before long he found out
who were faithful and who were
not. and he told all this to the
Duke, who was 30 pleased with the
little man that he gave him a
little toy palace TO live in. where he
had his own little bed and chairs
and tables.
But, oh. dear me, I'm getting
away ahead OF my story. for I for
got to say that after the holes
were all made Puss went back 10
bed. and the next morning the nobls
Duke begged him 10 stay and make
q visit. 80 Puss DID, and he had
lots OF fun creeping through tho
holes with the little man of the
wood
Well, one evening. as tn. IittIe
fellow was creeping through the
castle from one hole 10 another he
came into the room OF the Ducbess.
Now. the Duchess had q little baby
boy about q month old. and just as
the little man OF the wood came
into the room the baby rolled OF
the bed onto the soft rug and lay
there. while the mother slept quIet-
ly on.
And the little man OF the wood.
having never seen . baby before,
thought Il was one Of his own peo-
ple-a little dwarf. you know
picked Il up in his arms and car
risd Il away TO his little palace.
And in the next story you shall
hear what happened after that.

SOME HINTS
BY Rita Stuyvesant.

A LTHOUGH there Is not SO much
~ talk of outdoor sports thiS
year because OF the war
nevertheless the American girl
finds that an hour or two spent on
the golf course or tennis court puts
her in better trim for knitting and
bAndags rolling. For this reason
designers are offering some new
models in sports clothes. and skirts
play prominenY part. Nearly
every girl has made a sweater since
the knitting needles began TO click
from coast 10 coast. and with new
sports skirt she can have smart
outfit for her play hour.
A very economical skirt can he
made at home of simple checked
EinEham. Box plaits are well-lked
for sports skirts and are very easy
TO make. especially on checked ma
teriaL A deep hem and a narrow
belt are the only trimming needed.
Since the war has put such a ban
on wooden goods silks are playing
an important part for outdoor wear.
For those who can AFFORD IT a skirt
OF pussy willow tAffeta OF striped
design Is IN good choice. Rainbow
colors are popular and are very ef-
fective in boK-plaited models. Only
four yards OF silk thirty-six inches
wide are needed. and when the
skir. is MADE at home the price is

PLANT A WAR
GARDEN

T|ALE and mustard are two
plants that make hns early
greens, and which the home
Kardner will do well to include in
his list. says the National War Gar
den Commission. They can be
grown very early and Will furnish
the home table with fresh vege-
tables about as soon as anything
that can be planted.
There is q wild mustard which is
about the earliest green thing that
can be found in the Spring. and Is
Eathered for selling IN the city
markets. This Is little strong un-
less parboIled and well cooked.
The garden mustard is easily
grown. As soon as the ground can
be prepared sew the seed thinly ir
the row and cover half an inch
deep. The earlier this can be
planted the better, because II grows
rapidly in cool weather and will
soon be ready for use. Since It
quickly grows past the tender stage
for use seed should be sown every
ten days for several weeks in the
Spring. and then again in the Fall
for q Fall crop.
Eale Is more popular than mus
tard, says the bulletin. II will grow
IN early Spring also and should be
planted as early as the ground can
be we'll prepared. Use half an
ounce OF seed 20 100 feet OF row,
planting IL half an inch deep. Gull
tivats often. and as soon as the
leaves are large enough pull out
the surplus plants for use. leaving
the others about siN inches apart.
As these plants grow pick or the
larger le2yss for cooking.

Economical Skirts )
SOME HINTS FOR THE INGENIOUS GIRL

lows and Erays Is used for very at
trsctive skirts. AS a Tlua these
are not plated, because they are
too soft. and do not hold the fofds.
To make a sports skirt of crepe de
chine use 3 two-piece pattern
slightly shirred at the waist line.
y novel feature OF these skirts Is a
tiny plated frill just above the
hem. and a frill edging each side OF
the wide gathered belt. The frills
may be either hemstitched or
ricoted on the edge as finish. and
the plating can be done by ma
chine for a few cents a yard.
Satin is also popular Tor sports
wear. and American weavers are
turning out some wonderfully soft
materials The most fascinating
shades OF green. rose. blue, corn.
delicate gray and beige are being
used.
An unusual model In satin was
recently seen marked with high
price. But II could be copied at
home for less than one-half the
ready made price. The skirt was
quite short and gathered about the
belt. The closing In the back was
marked by a row OF covered buttons
reaching 10 tho hem. Quaint pock-
cts were fashioned OF narrow bands
OF satin braided together TO give the
effect OF being woven. The same
idea was repeated in the skirt.
The skirt was cut from corn color
satin, with trimmings OF bright
green. Worn with a green sweater
il would be most attractive.
The outlook in sports eostumes Is
very favorable this Spring. In spite
Of the strenuous times. The Ameri-
can women recognize the beneht OF
outdoor exercise in order to keep
up during thls nerve rackinE period
