tablish an ideal community. Miss AlcOtt
was obliged to be wage Garner to
help out the family income, and 50
taught school, served as q g0verness
and at times worked as q seamstress.
Wearying of this, she wrote for the
papers stories of q sensational nature,
which were remunerative financially
but unsatisfactory to her as = literary
pursuit, and she abandoned this style
OF writing.
In q Washington hospital she served
a. . nurse for q time, but the work
was 80 hard that she failed in health.
and when she recovered she had to. nnd
new fields of work. then she travelled
.as attendant to an invalid, and with
her visited Europe.
After several attempts at literature
Miss sAlcOtt wrote "Little women
which was an immediate success, reach
ing q sale of $1,000 copies In three
years. She wrote from the heart, and
wove into the story incidents from the
lives Of herself and her three sisters
at Concord. She afterward wrote "An
Old Fashioned Girl." "Little Men,
"Aunt jos Scrap Hag," ''The Eight
Cousins" and "ROse In Bloom" besides
other stories and sketches.
Miss Alcott had ambition and ability
for . high grade of literary work, she
made her success as writer OF chill
.lren's stories. While her receipts from
-some later work were large for those
times, she declared that she was more
proud of the first $50 she received than
of the larger amounts later.

TN their old.fashioned New England
home the little women lived with
:. Mrs. March, their brisk and CHEEKY
mother, who always had "can-I-help
you" look about her, and whom her
four girls lovingly called "Marmee."
Pretty Meg, the Oldest, was sixteen,
and already showed domestic tastes
and talents, though she detested the
drudgery of household work; and, a
little vain Of her white hands, longed
at heart to be fine lady. Jo, fifteen,
was tall, thin and coltish, and gloried
in an unconcealed scorn Of polite con-
ventions. Beth, thirteen, was low
able little thing, shy, fond Of her dolls
and devoted to music, which she tried
hopefully to produce from the old,
jingling tinpan Of piano. Amy,
twelve, considered herself the flower
Of the family. An adorable blonde,
she admitted that the trial Of her life
was her nose. For, when she was a
baby, Jo had accidentally dropped her
into the coal-hod and permanently
flattened that feature, and though poor
Amy slept with a patent clothespin
pinching it, she couldn't attain the
'Grecian effect she so much desired.
Father March was an army chap
lain in the Civil war, and in his alb
sence 10 declared herself to be the
man Of the family. To add to their
slender income, she went every day to
read to Aunt March, peppery old
lady; and Meg, too, earned a small
salary as daily nursery governess to
a neighbor's children.
In the big house next door to the
Marches lived rich old gentleman
Mr.. Laurence, and his grandson, q
jolly chummy boy called Laurie
Though awe-inspiring at first, Mr.
Laurence proved both kindly and gen.
erous, and even timid Beth mustered
lp courage to 60 over to the "Palace
Beautiful" at twilight and play softly
on the grand piano there. But, as she
confessed to her mother, when she be.
gan she was SO frightened her feet
chartered on the floor.
The night Laurie took the two older
girls to the theater, Amy, though not
invited, insisted on going, too. JC
GROSSLY declared she wouldn't 60 II
Amy did, and furiously scolding hei
little sister, she slammed the door and
went off, as Amy called out: "You'll
be sorry for this. Jo March! See II
YOU ain'tw The child made good heI
threat by burning up the manuscript
of a precious book which 10 had writ
ten and on which she had spent three
years of hard work. There was ter
rible fracas, and, though at her moth
er's bidding Amy made contrite apol
ogy, 10 refused to be pacified. 1t was
only when poor little Amy was nearly
drowned by falling through the Ice
that cOnscience-stricken JO forgave hcl
sister and learned much-needed les
son of self-cOntrol.
Meg, too learned a salutary lesson
when she went to visit some fash
ionable friends and had her first taste
of 'Vanity Fair" Her sisters gladly
lent her all their best things, and, as
she said to 10: "You're a dear tt
lend me your gloves! ] feel so ricl

OF all the practical gifts that are

those made at home Of fabrics, as Gre

oilcloth and other things Foundations
of heavy cardboard or light wood are
covered with these materials. Two
attractive baskets are shown In the

latter is provided with handle of
