Eastern. Stories and Legends"
edited by Marie l.. Shedlock, which
j.. Z. Dutton & Co. have just pub
lished has foreword by Prof. T. w.
Rhys Davids and an introduction by
Annie Carroll Moore, of the New
York public Library. Miss Shedlock
has been known for years in both
England and America as an expert
teller OF such tales on the lecture
platform and in small companies of
both children and adults. This pres
ent work has been enlarged and re-
vised from a previous volume, but
has been so much expanded that 1t is
practically a new work. The thirty
tales that compose the book have
been selected. translated and ar
ranged from the great storehouse of
Oriental legend that has for many
hundreds of years formed the
groundwork of Eastern literature.
The Comtesse Madeleine de Bryas,
in "a French~oman's Impressions
of America" published by the Cen
tury Company, comments as follows
on the American habit of using the
bathing suit: zone of our great
surprises in the United States was
finding how much the young gem
Grafton OF the country loves - get
a dipping in water. Americans arc
an amphibious race. Swimming,
diving, and plunging, come to them
instinctively. Never in my whole
life had l met so many people in
bathing costumes. 1t Is almost a
summer unieorm-and truly very
becoming one. In France we
rarely swim except at the seaside,
whereas here you almost fall into
a crowded swimming pool at every
step you take, In public parks, at
country clubs, and very often In
hotels and private houses"

sometime wheh they grow up-ah
that will be time enough to teach
them to pick up their clothes and
make the goodnight toilet properly.
No child should be permitted to
stay up so late that he or she is
too weary to properly hang up his
or her clothing so that 1T shall air
during the night. This habit, once
inculcated. will remain with the
child for life. and make him or her
a delightful person, so far as order
liness goes, to live with.
PRACTICE IN HOME.
OF course, there are schools
throughout our country that give
to girls excellent training in home
economics. They are taught to
keep house according to the latest
American standards. But after all,
the real practising must be done
in the home. Yet how many par
ents, and especially mothers. ] am
sorry to say, deliberately dis
courage their girls from doing any
thing in the way of housekeeping.
They, in some way or other, feel
that II is something to warn their
girls sgainst-sort of beneath them
and they talk along that line.
Then the day comes when the
whole world looks different to
some Nora sand her Peter. And
Nora goes into a new field unpre-
pared. Her mother has given her
music lessons and insisted that she
practise each day upon the piano.
For instruction without practise Is
more or less OF failure. But her
mother has never given her the
chance to learn how properly to
make a bed or set a table or cook
good breakfast or be orderly.
And she is thrust into a home with
its multitude of labors. She fails.
TIME NOT WASTED.
We still have with us people who
believe that housekeeping and thai
intricate process known as cook
ing, sort of comes to you like a
latent talent that just miraculously
develops. But it does not. There
is much wasted. Sometimes there
is w.ailing and gnashing of teeth.
In the meantime the household
suffers and dissension arises.
SO please give the kiddies a
chance to learn how-give the lit
tie girl chance to watch you
make that pie that everyone likes
so well. Then some day let her try
a little one under your, supervision.
or course, you will be sort of vast
ing some of your precious time
when she insists upon knowing just
why the water with which YOU
mix the yeast must be Just luke
warm and not hot. But, after all,
nothing is really wasted-least of
all the time you spend in helping to
make the homomakers of the fu-
ture.

FORA was Just married. He
was not a rich man. Yet he
was able to provide the
young wife with a modest little
home in the suburbs OF the town in
which they had been living. And
the provider had hopes-the hopes
of a happy little home and every
thing that life holds dear.
Nevertheless, the affair has not
been a happy one. No. 1t wasn't a
case of that old form OF drama, the
triangle. Nora had never been per-
mitted to learn to do any kind of
housekeeping in herr home-as
child or as a young lady. with the
result that the new little home for
which Peter had such hopes was
without a head. Twas like a ship
without a rudder. 1t just couldn't

We never can tell just what will

there are. perhaps. some children
who. when they grow up will never

from ham, bacon, salt pork or roast

to the flavor and are carefully saved
