Chimney huntingr' exclaimed
Nancy. 81 never heard of it"
Neither had u Kip told her. "It's
this way. The gnomes hunt up all
the chimneys where children live,
about this time of year. Then they
mark them with chalk SO they will
show up in the moonlight. About
Christmas time they go out in thou
sands and block up the chimneys with
all the SCOT they can stuff in, so San
ia can get down. Besides that they
steal letters the Riddles put up the
chimney for Santa. Another great
/ big awful besides-the most dread
full of all, they throw dreams down
these chimneys for the children to
catch-dreams that there is no Santa
Claus and things like that! | tried
to throw down a good dream about
good, kind, merry, old Santa, but be-
fore it got past the chimney-pot,
Tweekanose caught it and put it into
his bag. WhyI the gnomes have
even caught the chimney-sweep and
made him prisoner, also the toy
maker. After we help PIN PIN, well
have to come back and set them free,
because it never would do for Santa
to get his suit all smudgy."

YOUR COLOR.

WOMEN should copy the animal
" kingdom in selecting colors to
make their clothing attractive, says
Fred II. Daniels, the artist-lecturer.
Daniels advises stout women to
wear the dark, subdued colors sport
ed by elephants and whales.
He points out that birds and but
terflies have brilliant plumage be-
cause they are small The bright
ness overcomes their smallness -
makes them stand out.
Color magnifies size, in the i'm
preston made on the human eye.
Why are Bolsheviki known as
Reds? Why do revolutionists instinct
lively wave red flag? Because red
the danger color, expresses mental
excitement and unrest. 1t is the sym
Dol of action-of turmoil 1t excites
the mind. Red wallpaper causes
nervousness, headache, bad temper.
If you doubt reds power to excite
wave red flag in front of bull.
Blue is the peaceful color, sooth-
ing mind and nerves Families that
quarrel should run strongly to blue
in decorating their homes. Blue paci
fies.
If nerves are jumpy, surround
yourself with green. It rests the
eyes and nerves. That's why nature
uses it extravagantly-in grass, trees
plants. Also, why eyeshades arc
green.
People fond of violet or purple in
cline to be dreamy, temperamental
unusual. A man, dyed purple anG
placed in purple room, would soor
have indigestion, later insanity.
Yellow is the narcotic color. Make!
folks calm, sluggish, satisfied.
Women should know that there i!
more allurement in the proper us,
of color than in style, headdress OIL

Psychologists can glance at the
color, shown to be your favorite by
your instructive use of it in clothes
and know your real nature.
Efficiency engineers know tina
lack of harmony in color destroys
ability and handicaps effort.

HOW TO OVERCOME EVIL: -
Be kindly affectioned one to another
with brotherly love; in honour pre-
ferring one another; recompense to
no man evil for evil. Provide things
honest in the sight of all men. Be
not overcome of evil, but overcome
with good.-Romans 12:10-17-21.

EDITORIAL.

This is Education week, and most
of the attention is going to the pub.
lie school. But Miss Carrie Speer
rises to remark that the public IL
brary is as much an educational insti-
tuition as the schools and should not
be overlooked. And she is exactly
right. There is not debate pre-
pared in the county and scarcely a
theme written that / as librarian am
not called upon to assist WITH said
she. Which proves that real use is
being made of the library. Let's
quit starving that valuable institu-
ton, beginning with the new year,
and give it chance. And encourage
EVERYBODY to use it.

LANDAU UNSUSPECTING.
Landru had no suspicious Of the
terrible crisis which we had Just
gone through because Of him. As
in the past, he renewed his assidu.
Gus attentions to me.
began to believe that we had
been alarmed quite wrongly. Little
by little, we regained our COM
posture, and 1t seemed to me that
mother herself was regaining con-
fidence, and that complete peace
between them was being reborn.
To be nearer us Landru rented
a small fiat in rs Rue Rochechou-
art. He had the place done up to
his own liking. and he did not hide
from me his Joy and satisfaction ut
being personally able to arrange
this little nest which was soon to
be the shelter Of our happiness.
At his request presented him
with one OF my photographs. He
put it in the best place in the room.
and daily filled a vase with my IA
vorite flowers. which he purposely
placed beside my photo.
We now saw each other every day.
He either came to our house or I
went to spend few minutes In Rue
Rochechouart. He kept me informed
Of his business and aspirations. He
did not spare himself, was fro
quently away from his home. and
every time on his return he gave
me thousand and one explanations
of the object OF his visits. However,
i see now that he told me nothing
that could be verified.
He often said to me, Understand,
my dear friend, that work doesn't
Brighten me, and to arrive at my
aims / am capable of doing great
things"
AS a matter OF fact, his activities
covered everything. In succession
he intended going into the motor
