Prince of Story Tellers Would Be In
terested in This Wonderful Tale
of Adventure.

One of the big ocean liners was sew
trip across the Atlantic. 1t was din
ner time, and those at the table fell to
telling stories about their experiences
at sea. Finally it was the turn of a
person who had previously been boast
ing of his lineage. He told this yarn
says the Youths Companion.
ut happened a number of years
ago." said he, ION my fifteenth trip
across the ocean. when we ran short
of some provisions, particularly eggs,
milk, fruit and fresh meat. We were
very fortunate to have on board q
~resourceful fellow named Brand, who
pulled us out of the difficulty In good
shape. First he went to the hatch
way for eggs, but, as they were a lit
tie too old to eat, they were used for
cooking, and he requested the captain
to have the ship lay to. This opera
ton was repeated until we had eggs
enough to go round.
sThen. at Brands suggestion, the
captain fired a ships rocket into the
Milky Way, and all we had to do was
to hold buckets~and catch the milk as
1t poured out of the hole made by the
rocket. For a fruit supply we let
down buckets over the side of the ship
and picked up enough ocean currants
to last for a week. The next day we
had foul weather, which provided us
with plenty of ducks and chickens.
Some of these we ate and others we
kept to replenish our egg supply"
81 was on that very trip" spoke up
q wag at the end of the table. at was
the steamer Baltic, in October, 1908,
New York to Liverpool. We also had
on board a fair-sized goose, which was
overlooked in some way. I'm sure they
never ate. the bird, but I've wondered,
all these years until today whatever
became of it."

WOOL M IN VOGUE
Tailored Suits Of veIours often Sup
piled With Knit Scarf Collar and
Double Cuffs.

Don't worry that your knitting
needles may have to lie idle for asfew
weeks. There will be plenty OF
chance to ply them in the new wool
trimmings, which are coming to the
fore with gusto on new blouses and
sports clothes, says a fashion author
ity. For instance, you will find a tall
ored suit of wool velours supplied with
a knit scarf collar of bright contrast
ing wool and double cuffs of the same,
which can be pulled down over the
hands In lieu of a muff.
Lots of wool glrdles are seen on
plain jersey gowns. Even crepe de
chine shirtwaists are being supplied
with collar, girdle or cravat of wool.
a stunning black duvetyn sweater In
q sleeveless style is embroidered with
bright woods to wear under the coat
suit for skating.
The beauty of this work is that
scraps of wool can be put to good use.
In making a sweater or tam, n al
ways has a part of a hank left. One
of these will make a delightful splash
of color on a dark blouse If knit into q
cravat with dangling ball ends.

EASY WAY 70 SAVE THE MUFF
Attractive Hanger Can Be Made With
Very Little Trouble and Very
Little Material.

Instead of hanging your muff on q
closet hook from the cord or bracelet
provided at one end you can lengthen
the life of the lining considerably by
hanging your muff over a regular muff
hanger. One of these hangers Is easily
made from an old wooden coat hanger
with one arm sawed off, the other re-
versed so that the curve comes up
ward. 1t should be enameled some
pretty light color. or else wound with
ribbon. The wire hook can be placed
at one end so that it can be hung in
q convenient manner from the closet
hook.
Another way to make an attractive
muff hanger is to wind a thin wooden
rod with ribbon, and attach ribbon
hangers at each end with a bow or
bone ring at the top. At one end the
ribbon should be provided with a hook
so that it can be ~unclasped while the
rod is slipped through the muff.

A National Duty

The Treasury of the United States
has q great deal of money to raise and
1t can not be raised by bankers alone,
says Secretary McAdoo. The banks of
this country can not alone sustain
Americas needs in this war and extend
to our allies the essential aid which
they must have to continue the wal.
The rich of this country can not do
it alone; the women of this country can
not do it alone; but all of us, the peo-
pie of the United States, disregarding
partisanship, forgetting selfish inter
ests, thinking only of the supremacy
of right and determined to vlndicate
the majesty of American ideals and Sc
cure the safety of America and civili-
cation, can do the great and splendid
work which God has called upon US to
do.
