If you think there is leak in the connection of gas pipe and the plumber is not very definite as to the hour of his arrival cake of soap may be used to great advantage.
 Take heavy scrubbing soap and rub the joint well with the dry soap. The leak will be stopped temporarily and the delay of the plumber will not be so noticeable. The soap can be worked into the connection in such a fashion as to seal the threads and stop the leak.

 Never having had a woman "boss," fere was my chance to find the reason for something that had always puzzled me-the disinclination of girls to work for another member of their sex. It had seemed to me that they should welcome the closer contact made pos sible by a common viewpoint and the sympathy and understanding of an other vNeman.
 So I asked: why it is that you don't want to be under woman?'

es it. Hundreds and hundreds of children
do go to bed contentedly every night un-
accompanied BY teddy bears, whisk
brooms or old blankets TO suck. If YOU
were ever in the household the night that
the precious Teddy bear had been mis-
laid, or the day when the doctor said that
as little Ruthy had fever it was best
for her not 10 have the whisk broom in
bed or the night that the baby's pet blank
ct had been washed but had not become
dry-then YOU know just how troublesome
the habit may be. But, the sentiment
talist will tell you, ''iust that shows the
childs devotion. If those doctors and
nurses ever had any children OF their
own they would understand"
But it is because they have had so
many children of their own 10 care for
through sickness and nervous collapse
that they advise the mother never to let
her child get this fondling habit, which
like most bad habits is easy 70 acquire
but difficult to break.

Here il n job that one Of you who
doesn't want to do Office work, nor

perhaps find sufficiently worth the doing

The young girl who told me about

musical correspondence To handle. He
il utterly unbusinesslike, and ms she
said, his desk was not merely untidy
it was desperate. Letters and papers
of tho highest value lay mixed with
trash, bundles Of tickets and even money
were buried under old newspapers that
contained notices and articles he did
not want to lose, but certainly could not
be said to own, for he was never able
to find anything.
Hc hated To have his room touched,
for fear some treasure he had lost in
it would get thrown away. And year
by year matters grew worse.
So daughter took a course in filing.
Then she put that desk and that
room in order. She had everything
properly classified and filed, every letter

small children and Just mention the fact
that widely experienced trained child
nurse never permits the children she is
training 20 take teddy bears, dolls, or
Others toys to bed with them. Usually
you will start storm Of protest.
The sentimental mother will explode
"Oh, | think it is perfectly beautiful
habit to take a teddy bear or pet doll
to bed. 1t develops their mother instinct.
1t would break my heart if my children
didn't want TO take something to bed with
them.
And it doesn't have to be doll or a
teddy bear" the indulgent mother adds.

we didn't have that identical blanket
he wouldn't sleep wink"
There Is no use arguing. But the fact
remains that this is nothing more or less
than a habit. No child who has ever

said Bona, pretending not to wish or
prize it.

I ''but as il is of no use, / will sell for
that price"
Bona ran home at once with the
bowl. But he did not know what TO do

Now the truth was that the only way
TO make il work was TO sit down in it
and make a wish, but Bona did not
know that He began 10 get angry.
II was growing late. Ulo might come
by and see the bowl and want it back
The big shining bowl lay still on the
grass. A storm was coming. so he
wrapped a huge cloak of dark blue about
his shoulders. Then he cried aloud all
the magic words he knew, but in vain.
The wind blew harder. Over the hill
he saw Ulo coming The bowl lay still
and the sky was reflected in its shining
depth; for as yet there had never shone
any moon on the earth.
II am going to kick the old thing"
he exclaimed in sudden anger With
that he lifted his foot and kicked, say
ing as he plunged forward, 81 wish
this old bowl was hung up in the sky."
As he SAID this, he trlpped on his
long robe. Then he fell sprawling. right
down into the bowl And what did
that bowl do but start off and go sail
ing like an ocean liner right over the
banyan tree and up into the darkening
sky. Bona howled, but it was no use.
He sailed and sailed till at last the bowl
stopped. And there it struck. ANY

figure clearly outlined in the bowl which

still less does she know why she makes the
number Of his kisses test of love.
She does, however, and it is fact that
a woman will believe that the man who
beats and starves her, and makes her
work to support him, loves her devotedly
if he kisses her twenty times a day, while
she will doubt the affection of husband
who works himself to death to indulge
her in luxuries if he happens to be poor
kisser.
Certainly nothing more alluring, or
unromantic, or unsentimental than the
matutinal kiss with which women insist
on beginning the day can be imagined.

develop later in the day. Early in the
morning we are nothing but stomach and
brains and hands.
We are eager to get to work. We are

state of our affections. And we don t want

you will observe that woman always
turns the back of her head, or her left ear
to her husbands ham-and-cggs salute.
She doesn't even take down her curl papers
to receive 1t, so little heart interest has she
IN 1t And no woman who wanted kiss,
or expected to thrill to one, would fail TO
provide the proper scenery.
The truth is, we cannot do anything
every day without its becoming a habit.
Nor can we do anything that we are
expected to do, and reminded of ii we
forget 1T, and called down for If we don {

1t is duty. Nor is there anything of

III wives would only remember these few
elementary peculiarities of human nature
and call of the daily kiss, and make their
other kisses few and far apart, and some

their husbands interest in kissing and
occasionally get a kiss that had the old

Women do we'll to apply the acid test to
kisses, anyhow Judas betrayed his Lord
with kiss, and thousands of men bctray
women the same way every day. For
there is no such easy way to blind

he is to be trusted. So beware. ladies,
