A Real Stocking Bag

4 bag, not only to hold stockings, but
made of stockings, was seen recently.
It was made of five socks, the back
seams of which had been ripped and
all joined together with the toes meet
ing in the center. A tassel was at
tached to the center where the toes met
and smaller ones effectively finished
the points made by the heels. At the
top an embroidery hoop was attached
with two ribbon handles.

and each of them represents
certain brand of good or bad for

Dear Madam--Please tell me what

thought I had bruised my nail, but
they gradually came on all my nails on
the right hand and are now starting on
the nails of the left hand. B.L.
No doubt you have bruised your other
nails without realizing it. Bathing the
nails and the tips of the fingers several
times week in a tepid bath of olive
oil or almond oil will make them
stronger and less apt to show the white
spots.

About a Detective

This is a detective story; but it isn't
the regular kind. On second thought,
perhaps ii had better be termed a
story about detective.
The detective was Willard Holmes.
Maybe the surname had something to
do with his choosing that profession ;
perhaps not; anyhow, he maintained a
private Office where people came for
their mysteries 10 be solved. He had
caught bank robbers, laid" ghosts in
haunted houses and rescued kidnapped
helresses, and he had DISCUSSES, so you
see, he was a regular detective.
Holmes was seated In his Office
smoking his pipe, when fat little man
with half-moon face that ought TO
have carried a jolly expression, but in
stead was furrOwed with wrinkles OF
worry. was ushered in. His name was
Jerome Wittlcomb, and he had some
thng like million dollars In currency,
real estate and canned sardines.
Miss Geraldine Witticomb had dlsap-
peared only last night and no trace of
her had been found She had left her
home after an alteration with her
parents early in the evening, with the
announcement that she was going to
spend few hours with Hattie HASKELL,
Il chum, who lived seven blocks distant.

veloped when it becomes a class or
caste school. As a matter of fact, a
member of this present legislature re-
marked not long since that he did not
see any need of high scools at all; that
continuation schools were sufficient for
all classes. And yet when it comes to
this, if it ever does, the well-to-do will
pay for the higher education of their
children and the poor will not, or can
not. The. free, public high school
is needed by the rank and file of people
more than by the rich. There is no
more fundamentally democratic inst-
tuition than the American free high
school. 1t is in danger; the storm is
not distant The danger can be averted
by wise action-by the application of
plain, simple democratic principles.
