The Troll lifted the magic hammer
and Wcc-bit closed his eyes, expect
ing 10 feel the hard blow SO much
that he would fall to the ground, but
instead he was surprised TO hear the
Troll say: open your eyes. There is
nothing 10 fear. You have your wish.
As there WAS no mirror IN which TO
look Wee-bit had TO take the word OF
the Troll that he WAS now the right
si,c. but he did know that he no
longer found the tree tops brushing
his nose.
Wrapping the magic cape close
around him Wee-bit wished himself
back TO the home of Rosebud and her
father. and he found himself in the
garden walking towards the home he
had left the night before to carry
the pears for the goblin.
The Baron and Rosebud listened to
his strange story. Rosebud believed
IL at once, but the Baron said that
seeing was believing and that when
he saw the gold and the jewels he
would believe that Wee-bit had not
dreamed it all, though he had to be-
lieve something strange had happened
because he was no longer the wee bit
OF a boy he had been the day before.
But when Rosebud found that her
lover was going back to the cave OF
the Ogre she said: 'If you really wish
TO make me happy bring from the cave
some of the liquid you drank from
the boiling pot, for ! could never be
happy and marry man who had to
stoop to kiss me-"
Again Wee-bit wrapped the cape
about him and wished he was back
in the cave. but before he went for
the Jewels and the gold he filled a
bottle with the liquid for Rosebud TO
drink
Then he went to the dungeon under
the cave and filed the bags he had
brought with the wealth the Ogre had
eft behind.
One bag he threw over his back
and one over each shoulder ana wrap,
ping the cape about him he wished
himself back With the Baron and
Rosebud.

Wee-bit had been through all he had
told them, ''for no one could carry
those heavy bags without the help OF
magic power" said the Baron.
Rosebud drank from the bottle

HOW TO MAKE A DAINTY, UN-
HEMSTITCHED HANDKERCHIEF

Now that the Christmas season u
over, have been asking myself this
question: What is the prcttest hand
made Christmas gift have seen this
year," And | have come 70 the con-
cIuson that the answer il, "Onc OF the
dainty, unhemstitched handkerchiefs
that 40 many women made as gifts "
For the benefit OF my render-friends
who do not happen to know how these
hnndkerchiefs are made, ! am giving
the following:
Directions for Making an Un-IIem-
stitched Handkerchief. The first step
il to buy sheer handkerchief linen.
| This is sold Mt most shops for about 81
yard but few women wish TO buy a
| full yard Of it, az one yard makes nIne
| 12-inch handkcrchiefs. Some stores sell
| this linen in strips IL inches vide and
yard long so that 3 bandkcrchiefs
may be gotten out Of it. Again, some
will sell l2-inch square Of II for one
handkerchief.
II you have bought the linen either
by the yard or by the strip that makes
| 3 handkerchiefs, the next step is 10 cut
il into l2-inch squares. To do tins
evenly, measure of the II inches and
pull thread TO know where 70 cut.
Now take one of the l2-lnch squares
and pull four threads out OF the in
terror Of IL, one on each side OF the
square 2 inches from the edge. Col
ored crochet cotton Is run through the
open "channcr which is left by pulling
out this thread OF course. the fine
crochet cotton can be run through thus
channel on a fine needle; but IT is bet
ter to widen the channel by pulling out
two more threads, close TO where you
pulled the first one on each Of the four
sides Of the handkerchief.
II YOU are careful 10 leave the middle
thread Of these three threads which
YOU are TO pull, till the last, you car
tie your colored crochet cotton nigh
onto this middle thread before pulinl
the thread out-then, as you pull 1t out
that pulls the colored crochet cottol
in.
Many women, however, tic numbe
100 sewing cotton to this middle threa'
and pull that in rs temporary middi
thread, then tie the colored crocbe
J cotton to the end Of this 100 cotton an
pull out the 100 cotton thus pulling i
{ the coIored one); they do this becaus
! the 100 cotton il stronger than tn
middle thread which was in the liner
, and there is less danger of breaking
! in pulling the colored cotton through
I As the linen threads are pulled direct
| to the four edges Of the handkerchiei
! il is easy to tie the 100 cotton or tn
coloped crochet cotton TO them, in thi
, pulling process.
Now that you have the colored Gro
Chef cotton in the handkerchief wher
{ the three linen threads were originally
: you should work small flower of Frencl
/ knots (or any other simple design
in the little squares formed at eacl
: of the four corners Of the hapdker
chief formed by the colored thread
crossing each other at each corner).
And the last step is to rol the ez

Yesterdays sun went down

 yet to rise; Only the sky of today is bright Over the path where our jour-
 ney lies. We that would come to the
 goal at last Must wait not to dream beside the way; There is hope in the future and
 help from the past But for work there is only to-
 day. Yesterdays thread was used
 at eve, And the theard of tomorrow
 is not yet spun; Only today may our shuttle of gold in the web be-
 gun. Heed we the lesson and hold
 it fast, Hold it and heed it along life's
 way; There is hope in the future and
