scalp with a towel and let it re-

minutes, so that the soap can
mix well with any CRIME or per.

Pour one quart Of warm water
slowly over your head and mix
1t with the soap lather, using
both hands. Follow this with an.
other quart to rinse out suds and
dirt. A third quart of the clean.
warm water should wash out the
last trace of soap and dirt. But

Now, bring out at least two
heated towels and rub your hair

but dry your hair by rubbing it

dry after the shampoo, put just

he knew very well he had been

They came into the workroom and
they saw what had been done. And
while their voices were stern his mas

left the fur so within tempting reach,
and besides the puppy had lived up to
the picture. And he promised his
wife a new fur.
So the puppy resolved on New

chew up a fur, and his master re-
solved again to leave anything
so tempting in the way Of a little
puppy!

his master and his mistress hat
told him in stern voices that he haC
been naughty, but they hadn't pun
shed him, for in the first place they
had said that 1t had been largely their
fault.
His master was q cartoonist. His
master drew cartoons, or funny pic
lures, for the papers.
Every one said his pictures were
very, very funny. The puppy wasn't
much of a judge of that.
His master drew pictures of dogs
which were very popular. One day not
long after Christmas he thought it
would be fun to draw a picture of Il
puppy dog chewing up a nice Christ
mas fur.
OF course that wasn't so funny IN
itself, or rather that would not be so
funny to many people. But the mas
ter drew the picture to show how
very, very naughty a little puppy
could be.
And, after a time, the drawing was
finished and the cartoonist had fin
ished his work.
He thought he would like to take a
walk with his wife and they decided
to take the puppy with them.
And after they had had a nice walk
his wife suggested that they should
go and call on some friends.
They didn't think they'd take the
puppy with them as they didn't know
whether his manner would be of the
best so they opened the door for him
at their own house and he went in
side.
And he was left alone and had been
told to be good!
Now, it was quite trying to be a
little dog all alone in a house with
nothing to do, especially after a nice
walk which made a little dog feel so
full of energy.
But he must be good. Yet some
how the mind of the little puppy
couldn't think of anything to do that
would be good.
1t was strange how hard it was to
think up good acts. 1t wasn't that
one was not quite willing to be good
it was just difficult to think up these
good deeds.
He wandered about the house and
into his masters workroom.
There on a drawing board stood a
of himself and he was chew
ing up a piece of fur and having al
enormously good time. 1t was just
like seeing himself In the mirror and
seeing what a gay ard playful little
dog he was.
Well, he wished he could have d
game like that and be so happy. He
looked so jolly in the picture.
Then he thought again and then he
said to himself:
why not?"
For on the table was the fur from
which his master had been able to
his fur picture to make 1t look
very real.
Yes, he would do just as he had
been supposed to do In the picture.
That was a good idea. 1t was kind of
lis master to think up games for him
when he was left alone In the house.
And then he started in to play, and
iuch a game as he had. He tore the
