,.IuAr DOES YOUR BOY 20?

Some one has figured out that o.
the 1896 hours in an average year.
the average boy spends 3,2S5 hours IN
bed 1000 hours in school, $50 hours
At his meals and, perhaps 100 hours IN
church and Sunday school. That leaves
him 1881 hours in which he is as IKE
" as not out from under the parental
roof and out from under the observa-
ton of parents and teachers. 1t IS
what the boy does with those 1881
spare hours that is interesting thought
full grown-ups.
Out Of the lives of men who have
made good we CLEAN one outstanding
fact most of them made good in their
boyhood. Every-time you help some
awkward, bored and uncertain boy to
find something worth while to do with
some Of his 1881 spare hours, you will
have done fine and hopeful day $
work for posterity.-Collier's.

Story of Gelatin.

The quaint old Dutch city of Delft
noted for it's manufacture of porce-
lains, is important for producing
something which you may have eaten
OF of your Delft plate without
realizing that your dessert and it's
dish came from the same place.
Gelatin, which is served to you as
a strawberry or lemon-colored con-
fection, with fruit and nuts, is the
product of which we speak. 1t lis an
admirable food, not only for the well,
but is also a large figure in the diet
of the sick. for it is assimilated by
the stomach more quickly and with
less effort than any other known food
1t is almost equal in food value to
sugar.
Into the quays of Delft come tramp
ships laden with cargoes of bones
from India From these bones comes
the gelatinous substance that forms
our dessert. The bones are the care
fully selected thin bones of the East
Indian water buffalo, an animal which
is not like the buffalo that wandered
our western plains in early days. but

, selection for the hours you spend
lazing away in your deck chair.
But 1t is idle to give advice off,
hand to any one. Just because one
man always wears gray tweed knick-
ers all day when he travels on the
ocean is no reason at all why the
man who never wore knickers in his
life should adopt the same costume.
More and more ocean voyagers are
acquiring the habit of wearing very
much the same clothes on the deck of
steamer that-they would in and
about the small country club-clothes
informal and unpretentious, well
made and not behind the mode in cut.
Should we dress for dinner?"
asks many an anxious prospective
traveller of his friends who have
taken the salty trip some eighteen
times.
DO you?" asks the seasoned trav-
eler instead of answering.
And that really is an excellent
answer. If you don't dress for din
ner at home, why in the name of
mercy should you start in doing it
just because ocean waters are spread
about YOU?
AS a matter of fact, it somewhat
depends on the boat on which you
sail. If it is one of the small, not
very high-priced boats, then the
chances are that no one will dress in
the evening, save on the nights when
dance or entertainment has been
planned. And there will be plenty
of people who won't wear evening
clothes then for the simple reason
that they didn't want to be bothered
carrying such regalia in the luggage
reserved in their staterooms. On the
very large and expensive liners
good many people do dress every
night-but the most elaborately
dressed among them are seldom the
most desirable or the smartest or
even the richest among them.
A VERY rich American girl mar
ried happily to an English no.
bleman visited her native land last
summer. Every night she appeared
at dinner in a very simple black din
ner gown-that might have been an
afternoon gown, so high it was cut
She wore no jewelry save a string of
| rather small pearls. And yet she
looked so smart and charming and
appropriately dressed that the parve-
nues who had a new and gorgeous
gown for every evening wished to
goodness they possessed the knack
of wearing a simple frock with such
distinction. And of course every one
knew that this American girl had
brought over many trunks full of
charming frocks that she intended to
wear when she had joined her family
at home. She saw no particular rea-

An Indian Story Without
a Fi6ht.

Tell US a story about Indians" beg
ged Tom and Alice of their grand
mother, who sat by the fire knitting
a sock.
Well-- Grandmother Miles
smiled, Il think I've told you all the
bloodthirsty tales know, but if you'd
like to hear an Indian story that
doesn't have a massacre or a war
dance in it, I'll tell you about the
little Indian girl who cared for my
baby and to whom I gave my silk
| umbrella" The children's faces
showed interest, so grandmother
began.
when your grandfather and first
came out to the wilderness here, the
Indians were afraid of US and some
what unfriendly. But before long
| when they discovered that my hus-
band was a doctor who could cure
them of pains and diseases when they
fell i'll, they came to trust US and
would have defended US with their
lives
when my baby, who is your father,
was small, I employed an Indian girl.
named Majora, who lived about a
mile away in the woods, to be his
nursemaid. Majora had the Indians
fondness for trinkets, jewelry and
fine clothing. If she had been par
ticularly kind to help me with the
work, no reward pleased her better
than to be allowed to see my satin
dresses or to wear my silver earrings
or lace collars. But best of all. she
liked to open and close my big silk
umbrella 1t was very old-fashioned
and bunglesome, but Majora thought
it very wonderful. She called it the
silk umber-ell.' Finally, as a reward
for her faithfulness, I made Majora
present Of it
"A few days later a terrible rain
storm came UP. My husband was
preparing to go to see an old man
many miles distant who was very
ill and, since there was no one to
nurse the old fellow, 1 had agreed to
go along to aid as much as I could
in making him comfortable. But we
could not take the baby, nor leave
him until Majora came, and on this
of all days when we were in a hurry,
she was late.
DO you suppose she will not come
ON account Of the rain" asked my
husband. She is probably only loi-
tering on the way because now she
has a chance to use the silk umber-
e1l' 1 laughed. We .fretted a few
minutes longer, then we heard her
step on our little porch. I hurried to
the door to find Majora there drenched
TO the skin, but smiling.
-As I gaxed in surprise, she un-
wrapped her Indian blanket, which
she had hugged tightly to her, and
from the depths brought out my gift,
saying happily, Everything on me
has been covered with the big rain,
but not ons stnEio tiny drop have !

Toothpick Star.

Here's a dandy trick that takes
well any place. It'll make you feel
like a regular magician to work it.
Tell your friends you can make a
star for them out of five toothpicks.
Get a plate and five toothpicks and
a glass of water.
Now break" each toothpick in the
middle, as shown in the picture. No
tice that they are not broken clear
apart, but that the wood fiber is
merely cracked Now place your five
bent toothpicks together on the plate
in the shape shown. To complete
this stunt. dip your finger in the glass
of water and place a drop or two
right in the center of the group of
toothpicks. Immediately the star"
will grow and take shape. The rea-
son for this is that the wood fiber
absorbs the water, which causes it to
swell.
Sometimes this trick works equally
well with match sticks, if you can
get some that will not break COM
pletely in two.

son why she should display them on
board a transatlantic liner.
1t is usually a good plan for the
American woman going abroad to have
one evening gown and appropriate ac-
cessories with her in her travels Much
depends on circumstances. Still almost
every one may run across acquaintances
or friends who will invite them to din
ner or out for the evening. Even though
you have planned to be tourist and
nothing else you will doubtless have to
this one evening gown it is wise to Sc
lect one of the simple, rather high
necked, sleeveless frocks that may be
worn-with the addition of georgette
sleeves If you like-quite as well for an
afternoon entertainment.
The question of hats is a difficult one
but not so difficult now that small
hats may be worn for all occasions. For
travel wear one of the new narrow
brimmed sailors. or a little close, round
topped cloche or turban is the usual
choice. A narrow vizor front on the
cloche or turban gives the comfort of
protection TO one's eyes But don't make
the mistake of planning to wear this
hat for general utility. You should have
another hat--preferably a con fabric or
felt hat that may be packed fiat-to
wear on deck or for long motor trips.
While broad-brimmed afternoon hats
will doubtless be worn aplenty this sum-
mer they are best not chosen by the
traveller who has to consider luggage

quantity of luggage becomes very
burdeasome to the traveller and un-
less you are going to Arabia Deserta,
sible regions, the chances are that
you can replensish your wardrobe
when 1t is necessary.
Nv. However. remember that it is
we'll to take enough shoes and to
be sure that your suit and wraps
will see you through. Because 1T is
sometimes difficult to buy just the
sort of shoes that you think smart
and find comfortable. Americans are
ra ather hard to please in such matters
Likewise it is irksome to have to
stop in your travels to wait for alter
ations that might be necessary on a
suit or coat. The little things, hand
kerchiefs, stockings,> gloves, under
wear, wells, powders, and various ac-
cessories can be picked up from
time to time as you go.
V. Choose clothes that are as good
and as smart as you can possibly
afford. Sad but true, fellow travellers
are apt to judge you superficially
hotel keepers, railway attendants,
guides, guards and the rest are apt
to think you are just as important
as you look-and they see only your
clothes.
What is the conservative travelling
costume-the costume that one wears
when going aboard an ocean liner or
travelling from Paris to Deauville, let
us say? The skirt should be fairly
short-the reign of the longer skirt is
over among we'll dressed Europeans.
Besides, a short skirt is much more
comfortable when travelling. If you
like a narrow skirt choose one of
the wrap-around persuasion, or one
with little slit at the hem to make
walking easy. The tailored suit with
the fairly short jacket is perhaps the
best selection for travelling, because
you will want to have also long coat
or cape for additional warmth. In

with washable collars.

Howling Giraffes.

Il haven't worked very hard this
semester in my English" confided
Bess Smith to her friend Josephine
Reed, but I'm going to write such a
good story to hand in the last week
that our teacher will just have to
give me a good grade"
Il hope to write a good one, too"
said 10. TN going to make mine
about a boy who got locked in the
church belfry overnight"
why, that's what happened to your
brother" laughed Bess. He told
you about it himself"
Yes" agreed her friend, but if
tried to write about something that I
didn't know everything about
couldn't write story at all. What
have you taken for your subjectT
TIN going to write about a boy
who went giraffe hunting in Africa.
OF course, I've never been to Africa
and never even saw a giraffe except
in the circus, but TIL make up a lot of
stuff and get by. 7 guess Miss Magee
never hunted giraffes either, and she
won't know whether I'm telling the
truth or not"
Bess worked harder on her story
than she had ever worked on any
thing before in her life She wrote
and then rewrote it, and finally de-
cided it was as perfect as she could
make it, so she copied it and handed
it in She was particularly pleased
with the scene where her young Hero
became lost from his companions and
the giraffes followed him, roaring at
him so that he was almost frightened
to death. Finally he had to climb
tree and sat there for hours while the
giraffes beloved at him below.
Il guess that'll come back to me
with excellent written over the front
in red ink" thought Bess, giving her
head a knowing little wag. Maybe
Miss Magee will think it's so good
she'll have me read it in Glass;
The next day the teacher handed
back the stories to their authors. On
the front of the African story was a
big Poor" Bess hastily tucked away
the paper, so her classmates could not
see. When no one was looking she,
reeped at a note that was fastened to
You should write about a. subject

giraffes do not roar, nor. can they
make any sound at all. They are the
only animals which cannot make any
sore of noise. And most of them are
very tall, so one would not be safe
from them unless the trees were very
tall"
Bess' face was red, but it got still
redder when she heard her teacher
say, ~And now, class, if you will put
away your books, we wifi hear jose

that you can almost fsel the bats

believe me, probably. Well, fellows,
it can be done.
Simply cut number of notches
near the eraser end of a pencil. Then
get a very thin bit of wood about
three-quarters of an inch to one. inch
in length and work a small hole into
it with a pin (hole to be in center).
Next, pin this propeller" onto the
eraser of your pencil as shown.
Now all that you do is rub those
notches briskly with another pencil
or stick. In a moment or so the lit
tie propeller will commence to spin
merrily around, due to the vibrations
from the pencil to which it is fas-
tened.
The more rapidly you stroke" the
pencil the more rapidly the propeller
will spin.

Making the wire hat frame is not
dif1icult if you measure carefully for
each wire. You will probably need
ten yards of hat wire. 1t may be
bought at any millinery store at the
rate OF two yards for nickel. Buy
also a spool of tie wire, which is
very tiny binding wire for fastening
together your heavier wires. Use
black wires for black lace hat and
white for lighter color.
First cut four wires 14h inches
long for the crown. Bind them as in
diagram 1 with short piece of tie
wire. Measure your head where the
crown would fit and cut your wire
that size with short lapover. 1t
