and listen again to what he had to say.

you must beware" said Father Mouse,
"and that is the mouse trap. See
Here is one right on this barrel top

The five little Mice ran up the bar

like thing.
This one is harmless because it is
not fixed 40 il can catch us, but this,
my children, is what you have to be-
ware of at night. Remember, once
in this an you can never escape"
And this ended the lesson, for Father
Mouse had told them all the things
he knew and now they must take
care Of themselves.
The next night out of the wall home
ran the five little Mice to get their
own food and on the floor under o
shelf was the very trap their father
had shown to them the night before.
Father said not to run in the holes, VI
said one, "but he did not say not to
Jump on top of it." and then those
five little Mice jumped on the trap.

ANSWERED LETTERS.

"a. d." >"I put coffee in starch, to
dye some scrim curtains, and the cur
tains are now coffee-streakcd. What
caused this? Also please tell me whether

Answer: 1t is always safer to dye a
white material in clear, diluted coffee,
and let it dry before starching it. Also,
tea makes better ecru dye than
coffee, because it is odorless and
