Methods of financing real estate

ture by Morton j. I.uchs of shannon
& L.uchs.
He cautioned the beginners in the
class. as well as those already in the
real estate business, that it was I'M

way. and on such terms that the pur-
chaser could go through with the
proposition and continue to pay for
the house. instead of on terms which
might crowd the purchaser and cause
him to lose the property.
Mr.. Luchs took up the sale of large
apartment houses or business prop

handled to the satisfaction of the pur-
chaser. He said it was easier to
finance the erection of 4 large busi-

EVERLASTING FLOWERS.

"You are such brave little flowers"
said Fairy Wondrous Secrets to the
Everlasting Flowers. won't you

you know, and would like to be able
to share your secret with some of the
children.
II send them all sorts Of secrets.
you know, which are done up in pack
ages and which the Dreamland King
carries for me to the sleeping children.
s'Do let me share your secret and
let the children share it, too. Won't
you do this, Everlasting Flowers?"
1--WE WILL" they said, "and gladly
if you will tell us story. We have
been standing here and doing what
we are supposed to do.
"But we would like to hear a story.
Will you tell us one, Fairy Wondrous
Secrets?"
I'D be pleased to- said the Fairy
Wondrous Secrets, for I've never told
you a story and I'd like to tell you
one"
"Then we must answer your ques-
ton first said the Everlasting Flow
ers.
s"The reason we last as we do is be-
cause we look to the Sun and the
sky for help, and if creatures aren't
ashamed to ask for help and advice.
they are apt to get along better.
"You know there are some who
won't ask any questions at any time
because they don't want to admit they
don't know the answers to the ques-
tons.
"It's so much better to be frank and
not pretend to know everything, for
no one, and no creature does know ev-
erything.
There is much too much to know
for that.
"Well, when the Sun gets up in
the morning we look straight at him
and wish him a polite good-morning.
"Then we keep on looking at him all
day long.
1--WE turn our headS ever SO SllShtly
SO that we are always facing the Sun,
and when the Sun is going to bed we
still look at him and wish him polite
goodnight.
I'm the morning we're ready again
to wish him a good-morning and so,
you see, that is the way we do.
''There are some of our family who
don't do this. but they don't last as
we do They don't love the Sun as
we do, either.

CHILDREN'S MANNERS


Whatever you do do wisely and think
T HE minute a child begins to eat
with the assistance of its own
small hands, the first lesson in
table manners must begin. There is
little excuse for the disgusting table
manners of some children. They are
due, really, to the fact that the mother
or other caretaker finds it less trouble
to let the child search aimlessly for
it's small mouth than to insist that It
locate it daintily, surely and without
experiment.
A very small child can be taught to
eat nicely. Teach it that spotted bibs
are beneath contempt. Patiently show
it how to hold it's spoon and cup, and
help it to eat slowly. The lesson is a
hard one for the teacher as well as for
the child. But perseverance is the
only way. And once the child has
learned to eat daintily, the slovenly
ways of unframed children when they
are eating will be as distasteful to it
as you would find them in a grown
person.
Remember that children ape the
manners of their elders. For this rea-
son the greatest care should be used
in the choosing Of nursemaids, govern
esses or any one else who comes in
constant contact with the child. Many
well known men have talked, when ex-
cited. to their dying day in the brogue
or burr of their childhood nurses.
And who can doubt that much of the
gentleness of character and strength
of spirit of Robert Louis Stevenson
were inspired in him by the dear old
nurse to whom he dedicated his
"Child's Garden Of Verse?'
The initiative method is the easiest
whereby a child may acquire its man
ners. The small boy who adores his
gallant father seldom forgets to take
off his hat and stand in the presence
of women. The small girl who looks
up to her mother with affection is the

pattern of loving courtesy to her faith
er. Children often affect the graces
of their elders in most laughable
way. But don't laugh at them. They
will outgrow this priggishness. 1t is
only a case of their, initiative acquisi-
ton of manners.
It is the vogue of the day for small
girls, up to the age of ten or twelve,
to curtsy when they meet their elders
After that they, like small boys, stand
and shake hands. 1t is also proper for
children to be quiet and unobtrusiSe
when they are in the company OF
groWn-ups.
Some of the set rules of children's
manners, like these, they cannot learn
by imitation. But if they are courte-
Gus, thoughtful and happy they will

tie superficial manners that will make

$50 Fairy wondrous Secrets Began"


cannot jump up into the sky and fol-
low me in that way, but you can fol
low me from down below and watch
me with your flower eyes
$50 we did as he said and he has
rewarded us like this. How we do
love our good friend, Mr.. Sun.
And now, Fairy Wondrous Secrets,
tell US story.
So Fairy Wondrous Secrets began,
and this was her story:
"In little bit of a hut there lived
little old man with little old wife
and a little old dog.
"They lived very happily there to-
gether until one day along came a
great fine-looking man who said to the
dog:
"Follow me and will give you fine
homes and you will live in riches.
"'You will not be poor as you
now are, but you will be fed with the
finest of bones and everything else
that you can desire
1.-THE dog was very hungry then and
the word bones made him dream Of
a glorious life ahead.
$50 he followed the man, and the.
little old man and the little old woman
were very sad.
"But after a few weeks had gone
by the dog came back and he licked
the face of the little old man and OF
the little old woman, and he said in
his dog way
81 got bones and fine food. but
couldn't get the love that | had here,
and that is more important than any
thing else in the world, for bones are
eaten, and one can have enough OF
them, but love can't be eaten, and one
can never have enough of it,
"And from then on the little ola
man and the little old woman and the
dog lived happily together again, and
never again did sadness come to the
little hut"
'Thank you, thank you,'' said the
Everlasting Flowers.

,.ley are very lonely for you. See,
even the Moonbeam Fairies run down
on the earth at night and they have
no one up there to visit.
$50 stopped on my way home last
night to chat with them awhile and it
was then they. asked me If ! thought
the Queen would take them into her
big family and let them run down the
Moonbeam path with us each night
to the EARTH
What do you say, my children?"
asked the Queen. "Shall we welcome
the Star Fairies into our family?"
"Oh, yes, dear Queen, let them
come" said all the little Fairies, clap
ping their hands and dancing about
their Queen; "and why not send for
them tonight while the Moonbeam
path is bright and then they will not
trip coming along2"
"Very WE'LL" said the Queen, "tell
the Star Fairies that will welcome
them for the summer months. That
is when we have our gayest revels."
So the little Moonbeam Fairy has
tened away to tell the lonely little
Star Fairies the good news, and down
they came Pickering and twinkling
with joy over their good fortune.
All this happened a very long, long
time ago, and if you have any doubt
about this story being really truly
true one watch the stars smiling up in
the sky as the Star Fairies fly hither
and thither during the summer for
though we mortals call them fref1ies,
the Earth Fairies call them their
friends from far-away Land, the Star
Fairies.

Common Errors in English and

last sound Of the last stroke OF
midnight they found their queen talk
ing with a moonbeam fairy.
Instead of joining in the revels as
was her custom, she kept on with her
chat with the little silvery fairy who
seemed to have much to tell her.
All the lettering, skeltering little
winds were tumbling over one another
in a game Of tag with the Dust Fairies,
and the Water Fairies were flying
hither and thither playing at hide and
seek.

TTHE modern umbrella is a lineal
descendant of the gorgeous can
opies which slaves carried to
shield the royalties of old from the
sun. The folding umbrella, to protect
against rain was not generally used
till about 1852. Even then it was an
object of ridicule. James Hanway,
who died in 1856, is credited with be-
ing the first Englishman habitually
to carry an umbrella. The modern
steel rib was invented by Samuel Fox
