GETTING AROUND THE TRUTH
Little Helen's shrewd Scheme for
Sugar Coating Fabrication Her
Mother Frowned Upon.

Little Helen, one of the youngest set
of Scipio society, was missing her
sister. who was old enough even to
go visiting and stay away from home
three whole days and nights. She
was getting more lonesome every
hour and after having been told sew
eral times by her mother that Lo-ise
wouldn't be home until Friday, finally
hit on a plausible pretext for getting
sister home.
Mother, let's write and tell Louise
that we have a new baby at our
house. I know she would come home
then"
''But we could not write that-that
wouldn't be the truth, and 1t isn't
nice to tell things that are not true"
That apparently settled the mat
ter, but Helen added: swell, we could
tell her it was new baby doll when
she got home-that would be all right,
wouldn't it?"-Indianapolis News.

treasures of A., art. The famous Her
mitage gallery in PetrOgrad has been

1t once contained, except a few unim-

Bolsheviki removed the paintings to
