 When popping up the house for it's spring energy, then it is wise to think of something fresh and clean to do with the kitchen. Often you do not wish to spend a great deal upon kitchen fiXings. but you do realize that new curtains and some colored oilcloth for the table and tubs will come in the nature of a Godsend to tired eyes that no longer wish to rest upon the old worn trimmings.
 Then buy some yards of cheap striped CT blocked gingham and use it for curtains at the windows, cur tains before the shelves. curtains un- der the tubs to hide an unsightly bucket or broom that may be slowed

Ky MARY ADRIAN THE MOTHER OF FRANCIS TUR- HER PALGRAVE

In the case of Francis Turner Pal grave, whose Golden Treasury" is read and known by almost every high school student in the United States, the gift of a brilliant mind and love of art and letters was direct inheritance from his mother and her family. Elizabeth Turner. the mother, was a woman of singu- lar mentality, native and cultivated, and she passed on those treasures to her son.
 While Francis was still a small child. this mother, with her remark able culture and brilliancy, sensed and fostered in him his innate love of art. She was delighted when he gave any evidences of interest in books or pictures, and did everything in her power, which was a goodSdea to encourage these ordinations.
 Supervising his education herself. she saw to 1t that he had the best of books to read, and formed his lit- erary taste as early and as carefully as 1t was possible. In this she Ua5 enormously aided by having at her disposal the library of her father. who was a real bibliophile, and who helped her in the selection of read- ing matter for her son. In addition. he had an unusually fine collection of engravings. With all these in- fluences, added to his natural in- stincts, the child could scarcely help developing literary turn of mind.
 His mother did not, however, allow her intellectual side to be alone in her relationship with her son. Sh3 was a tender. sweet mother. very fit of her charming nature. She ef- fected a perfect balance between the mind and the heart and produced 2 remarkable son as the result

Adventures of Raggedy Ann Raggedy Andy

Raggedy Ann and Betsy Bonnet String did not know that old Gurgle the bottle imp and the Geewhilike ar had been quarreling over the cream puffs they wanted to get from Betsy's magic apron.
 Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy and Betsy Bonnet String were having too much fun to even think of the bottle imp and the Geewhiliker. And who wouldn't forget a lot of trouble if they had what the Raggedys and Betsy Bonet String had found in the deep, deep woods?
 Have you ever seen tree mush- rooms? Tree mushrooms grow right out of the bark of trees and are shaped a lot like oyster shells. Some people call them oyster Mush- rooms" Usually the tree mushrooms another but close together. So when the Raggedys and Betsy Bennett String saw the tree mushrooms growing from a great high tree: just like stairsters instead of clusters, the thought it would be fun to climb the mushroom stairs. And that is just what they did, until they reached the top of the great high tree. Then when they got up there, Betsy Bon net String clapped her little hands together and said. Can you Rag gedys see an invisible slippery slide reaching from here to the ground?"
 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy laughed, for they wondered how anyone could see anything which was invisible. "No!" they replied, we can not see it.'' Betsy Bonnet String could see the invisible slip pery slide. because she was nice kindly Witch. Just you watch nowr' she said to the Raggedys, And when you see how l scoot

GRACJOITSNESS
By HELEN KENDALL

There is nothing that marks the gently bred woman more than get- cious manner, even to perfect stran- gers. Have you ever seen, just ahead of you, a woman whose hair was coming down or whose petticoat was showing, or who had some other em- barrassing accident befalling her. and then have you stepped forward and told her of it, in all kindness to be greeted by an icy stare, an angry adjustment of the trouble, and not even a thank you" for yourself? Of course she Is not really ungrate- ful. She is unutteraely glad, down in her heart, that you called her at tenton to it. But she is so humili- ated by the occurrence that she can not be gracious to the one who brought it to her notice.
 One day on the street an eager faced young woman rushed up to a strange lady and held out her hand.
 Why, Florence Robinson, l haven't seen you in"
 Then she stopped short and turned crimson.
 Do pardon me-" she stammered. "I thought for a moment that you

 I'm sure I wish I were" she said graciously, as she passed on.
 To accept graciously little favors and courtesies extended by friends or strangers is an unmistakable sign of the gentlewoman. Indifferent or begrudging acknowledgment of these small courtesies is a dash of cold water in the courteous ones face. A gracious. winning manner when talking with clerks in shops, with tradesfolk, in telephone converse tion even of the impersonal sort-in fact. in all our rubbing elbows with the DubliC-nOt only i0diCafeS fhe wa11- bred woman, but secures for Us bet ter and more willing service, smooth CT running of the weels of life, and gives others warming sense tha. the world is pretty we'll filled with kindly people.
