LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe
was wrong about Nora the new nurse
girl. My first impression Of her was that
she WAS girl with a fair amount of
equilibrium and not one Of these girls
that trip over everything within reach
especially their own feet. But | mis-
Judged her character, Joe. She's tripper
She not only trips over everything In
sight, Joe, but she cold-bloodedly goes
out of her WAY to trip over things. This
morning she tripped over rug and when
she went to stra'ghten It she tr'pped over
it again. II that's not the heighth of trip
ping, Joe, what is?
For goodness sake, Nora" ] says,
"wstch out where you're tripping"
SAYS The rugs right there In plain sight
and i, s certainly big enough TO cover your
naked eye 1t couldn't be any bigger and
still remain a rug" ] says. Didn't you
see it?' | says.
''Yes, saw it, she says, 'but my feet
amt very sensitive 10 rugs
Can you imagine that, Joe7 | forgot
TO mention thatall the time she was tripping
over the rug coming and going he had
the baby In her arms. OF course | don't
want to pamper the child and make
lollypop OF him, but don't see how | can
keep nursegirl that's all the time trip
ping with him. They say beby can stand
surprising amount of bumps without
anything radical happening, but even so,
the wear and tear on a mothers feelings
must be considered, and not being a
mother yourself, Joe, you'll never know
what sensations mother goes through
when she sees her only child being tripped
with.
To give Nora credit, though, must say
that for all the times she's tripped so
far she S never once lost her grip on Baby
or forgot her balance to such an extent as
10 actually fall. AS she says herself, she
may be a tripper but she WAS never
faller. What would you advise, Joe?
I'm so glad you're going to take my adj
vice about giving me sealslin scarf for
Xmas. OF course, knowing already what
it's going 10 be, there won't be any ele-
ment OF surprise about the actual present
itself, so Joe / guess it's up to you to
furnish the surprise by sending me an
even handsomer scarf than | expect.
Lovingly,

THE FAMILY BULLETIN BOARD

Schools and clubs find bulletin board
| posted in some conspicuous place a great
| help Why then should not the bulletin
board or something to take its place be
useful IN the home, especially when there
are many members who do not all get to-
gethcr often at one time and who are busy
with any interests Of their own?
In one family know of there Is a large
slate placed on the wall in a bright sec
tiOn Of the back hall near the family tele-
phone and the side door A slate pencil
hangs from this slate and there arc thumb
tacks on the broad wooden frame Of the
slate with which one can attach any
special written folder of any sort. The
mother of this house believes that no
member Of the family should be without
some task to perform in the housework,
but she does not believe that she should
expect active, irresponsible school child
rem TO remember their special tasks for
days IN advance. For instance, the gar
bage man comes on Friday morning and
it is the duty Of the two boys in the house
to alternate in the duty of taking the gar
bage cans out to the front o f the house
on Friday mornings. The mother, know
ing that boys are naturally forgetful of
such tasks, makes point TO remind them.
On Friday morning you may see the words:
Tom please put out cans" and the next
Friday "Wil please put out cans" 1t
serves as a reminder and saves having
to bring the matter up at the breakfast
table. If the mother wants to go away from
home and wishes any errands done by the
children when they come home from school
she writes the directions out on the slate
or II there are many articles makes
list and attaches it by means of thumb
tack to the side Of the slate with just the
reminder written on the slate II notice
or invitation comes for the entire family,
the weekly calendar from tho church or
the club to which various members be
long these are posted on the board by
being attached open to the side of the
slate so that all may read them and note
their contents.

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
BY Jessie Roberts.
KINDNESS IN THE BUSINESS WORLD
wright. 1920. by wheeler Syndicate. Inc

You hear lot about the selfishness and
hardness of the world of business They
tell you that money is the one thing that
counts, and that self-seeking is the great
rule, that the weak 90 under and the
strong are ruthless.
But think that anyone of us can bring
to mind cases of unusual generosity and
kindness in business life. The ruthless and
the cruel exist there, ms they exist every
where under the sun. But it Is narrow
minded to condemn business in general
for the faults Of some; it il still more
foolish to base ones own acts on the
fancied hardness of business ethics.
Let me cite few cases that have come
under my own observation.
One is that of an old man, q man near
ing the end of the seventies. He Is being
retained in his position at the same salary,
though another, younger man is dong
his work, and receiving q salary for that
work as high IA the old fellows. The old
man does not realize that this is the case.
He comes round regularly, potters about
all day, does a lot Of things that have TO
be ignored or undone, makes himself
nuisance generally, for he il entirely
past his usefulness. Yet the firm keeps him,
and keeps him merely out OF kindness.
They would far rather pension him.
but it would kill the poor old chap TO
tell him his usefulness was over, said
ono Of the firm. He thinks he's as good
as ever. One Of these days he's going to
find himself unable TO get down TO the
office. Until then, ] guess we can manage
to let him think he's still in the running
Then there is girl. She is working IN
an office where there is one other woman
employed. This girl is inefficient, not
from carelessness, but simply because she
has mind that works slowly, she is
timid, she is not well trained. She has no
attraction, neither figure nor looks, and
her voice is unpleasing. Yet this girl is
kept there simply because it is known that
she has a sick mother at home, is the only
support of that mother, and Is really
doing the best she knows how.
II this sort of thing is not the finest
sort of kindness, show me what is. And
there are countless incidents of the same
sort if you take trouble TO look for them.
Give business it's due. And range yourself
with the right kind.

minute on the top Of the mountain and
listen to what we have TO say?
Now be quick about it, said the Sky-
witch when she landed. 81 am too busy
TO bother with little thinks ike you noun
tain people. What is it you want?"
'Wewish TO ask YOU TO put little color
in the sky" said the Fairy Queen, who
had been selected to do the talking
What change my sky?' said the Sky
witch Is that what YOU wish 70 ask me
TO do? Well, | can tell you at once that
/ will never do it; black and white is all
you viii ever get, and of she few.
The old Skywitch did not know much
about fairies or she would not have been
so cross for they are very persistent little
creatures and never give up once they
start to do anything.
After the Skywitch had gone and ell
the little people were looking very sad the
Queen Of the Fairies said II believe we
can have q pretty color over US in spite of
the cross old Skywitch ! will rlln down
10 the valley this very night and see the
butterflies and bees and get them to help
US.
So that very night the Queen went on
her errand and asked the bees and the
butterflies to help her 10 gs ther from all
the blue flowers bits of their color.
The FAIRY Queen knew Of course, that
on the nights when old MIR Moonman
was shining the old Skywitch slept, and
that Mr.. Moonman, being very kind
and jolly old fellow, would let them walk
along his shining path straight up into
the clouds.
The bees were to be told by the Queen
where 20 go for the best honey to pay
for their help and TO the butterflies she
promised wonderful power OF fight if
they would help her, for in those DAYS the
butterflies could not fly above the low
bushes and the bees were not good honey
hunters.

HOW THE SKY BECAME BLUE.

Once upon time so long ago that no
one can reckon how long it was, but before
the world and sky were finished, the sly
had no blue in il as il now has
Instead it was all biliowy white clouds or
else big black ones, for the old Skywitch
who took care of the sky and arranged
things to suit herself did not wish it any
other way
But the little folk who lived then on tho
tops of the mountains-the elves, the
gnornes, the fairies and the COLLINS -
grew tired of the white and black and
decided to try in some way TO have it
changed.
So one night when the old Skywitch was
sailing about on her big broomstick a
nimbe little Goblin jumped on the end of
it and called to her to stop.

your sewing machine can be taken out of
your material by simply washing with
neutral soap and cold water. II, however,
it has gotten into the stitching, it would
be best to dissolve it out with gasoline or
