The next step is to decide whether
you wish TO use dyes or artists tube
oil paint. While dyes are nicer to work
with than paints, they are not MS per-
mnnent in color as oil paint. The paint
will not fade after constant washings.
Yet, in spite OF this fact, dyes are
most popular for stencilling. Follow
the directions which come on the pack
ages Of dye. To set the color, add five
or six drops Of diluted carbonic acid
this is O deadly poison, so use it care
fully. Some women use this method
Of making the dye permanent; mix the
white Of one egg with two teaspoons
Of water and add little Of this TO the
dye. Still another way OF obtaining a
fast color is to buy five cents worth OF
dextrirc or gum from the drug store
and use one teaspoon Of this TO one
cupful Of the dye. No rigid rules can
be given in connection with using dyes
for stenci!ing, as the strength OF color
YOU wish 10 obtain, the materials upon
which YOU do the stencilling, etcetera,
make it impossible. The best way is
TO experiment with small portion, or
piece, Of the goods, even going so far
as TO stencil II, iron it, and wash 1t
several times, before going ahead on
the large piece Of goods.
The most important step of all, in
stencilling, is this: When the material
is stencilled and dry, it must be ironed
on the back with a very hot iron with
wet cloth between iron and stencilled
goods. The hot steam sets the color
Do not use merely warm iron; use
hot one. =.
To wash a stencilled curtain: Soak il
in clear, salt water thoroughly (use q
handful of salt to bucket OF water)
then wash in mild soap suds, rinse
dry, sprinkle and iron.

strange to us that Uncle Ralph, who
took no notice of us when he was alive,
should be so careful to look after us when
he was dead but Mr.. Carruthres explain
ed that the reason was that my uncle had
just heard of the death of his brother,
and so felt responsible for our fate"

"Mr. Woodley seemed to me to be

was perfectly hateful-and | was sure
that Cyril would not wish me TO know
such a person.
"Oh, Cyril is his nameP said Holmes,
milling.
The young lady blushed and laughed.
Eyes, MIR. Holmes, Cyril Morton,
an electrical engineer, and we hope
to be married at the end of the sum-
mer. Dear me, how did l get talk
ing about him? What | wished to
say was that Mr.. Woodlcy was per-
fectly odious, but that Mr.. Carruthers,
who was a much older man, was more
agreeable. He was a dark, sallow, clean
shaven, silent person, but he had polite
manners and a pleasant smile. He in
quired how we were left, and on finding
that we were very poor, he suggested
that should come and teach music to
his only daughter, aged ten. l said that
did not like to leave my mother, on
which he suggested that | should go
home to her every weekend, and he
offered me hundred year, which
was certainly splendid pay. So it
ended by my accepting and | went
down to Chiltern Grange, about six
miles from Farham. Mr.. Carruthcrs
was a widower, but he had engaged
q lady housekeeper, avery respectable
elderly person, called Mrs. Dixon, TO
look after his establishment The child,
was q dear. and everything promised
WE'LL Mr.. Carruthers was very kind and
very musical. and we had most pleasant
evenings together. Every weekend

Efficient
Housekeeping.

HAVE YOU TRIED STENCIL
LING YOUR VALANCES?

l have known women to go out to
a store and buy expensive cretonne
material for window valances--when
they could not afford to make such
a purchase. And when l encounter such
case, always say to myself: Why
didn't she buy unbleached muslin, in
stead, and stencil it? 1t would have
been just as effective as overdrapes."
But the average housekeeper does
not take as great an interest in the arts
and crafts as she cshould. l don't be-
lieve that one woman in ten (perhaps
even smaller percentage knows how

The first step in stencilling is to
make your stencil from stiff card

WHAT ALLEN DRAKE DID AS
HIS FAREWELL

For a long minute after Li!lian's ex-
PLANTATION, Allen Drake stood silent, his
long, thick eyelashes-the oddly effemi-
nate note about hin-concealing the
angry frown which ! was sure was
in his ewes. But when he finally threw
up his head with q characteristic ges-
ture, there was nothing but his usual
lndolent, bored expression TO be seen IN
either face or eyes.

is phrase that is often on our lips
When we repeat the old adagc we are
thinking of the virtuous acts that we
meant to do and never did, We are
thinking of the cheering word we always

soul; of the love and appreciation we
intended TO give to some hungry heart,
Of the helping hand we planned to hold
out, but never did.

again, for Puss tipped it over with her
paw. And Twinkle Eyes knew it was
a run for his very life he must make.
Around the room they went and
then Twinkle-Eyes ran up the stairs.
Puss did not see him at first, but she
soon followed and before he stopped
Twinkle-Eyes found himself in the
attic in corner among the discarded
toys.
Puss was in the doorway looking
about and twirling her tail in a way
that plainly told poor Twinkle-Eyes
that she had no thought of giving up
the chase, and he knew he must hide
in a place where Puss could not reach
with her paw or there would soon be
one mouse less in the house.
Right over to the corner where
Twinkle-Eyes was hiding under doll
house came Puss. Up the side of the
house ran Twinl1le-Eyes. Puss reached
for him; there was but one thing to
do and he did it. He ran down the
chimney of the house.

Twuinkle-Eyes was mouse and he
lived in the pantry wall with all OF his
relatives, and a merry time they had
running about and playing, as well as
getting plenty 10 eat.
After Twinkle-Eyes had eaten all he
wanted at night he always ran out Of
the pantry, through the kitchen into
the dining room and then into the
room where there was scrap basket
1t was always full of paper-nice,
rustling paper.
That was the game Twinkle-Eyes
liked best of all, running about in the
scrap basket and making soft noise.
But one night he was unfortunate
enough to be seen by Puss as he ran
through the kitchen, and after him
she went. Though Twinkle-Eyes
reached the basket, he was soon out
