Today's Short Story

ant that she went home in delightful dream. It was as though there might yet be something besides indifference and loneliness in her life.
 But the surprises of the day were not over. One came just as the sun was going down in a sea of gold and crimson glory. Seas of gold were not uncommon in her experience. She had witnessed them on land and sea and from the glaciers of the frozen north to the melting sands of the tropics, but this one was memorable in a way none of the others had been. There was a click of the latch, then q little crowd of the "notables" were making them selves at home on her porch. That is, all but the judge. Boy fashion, he dropped down on the step just as he had in the days of long ago and pres ently was pulling to pieces one of her magnificent Marechal Neil roses.
 The evening was a wonderful one Her guests stayed till late and talked of everything. There were little two. edged sword tits, sober judgments and reflections and hear-to-heart condolences and confessions, but the real surprise of the day-for that matter of all her days-came at the end. It was an in vitation to give an address in the near future in a town slime distance away There was price named, too, but that was the unimportant part. What real ly mattered was the wonder of the way that had led from orphaned girlhood destitute of advantages to such a place in a world she had believed overfull of delusions and disappointments and heartaches.
 After that evening the days seemed just a march of triumphs. There were more attentions and invitations than she could possibly accept. She had be come popular and her little head with it's ripping waves of hair once yellow was in danger of being turned. Her great happiness, though, was yet to be won. It came after an address ln the same building that had witnessed her first effort at public speaking, and when the judge had walked home with her. As before, he had dropped boy fashion on the step and again pulled to pieces a rose that grew at hand.
 "Jesca," he said presently. "can we forget the days-since the old days and begin over again? Can we. Jesca ?' And little Miss Le""ard forgot the grand world she ha, manufactured from Loneliness and neglect and the great ones who had peopled it. At the touch of real happiness it's golden splen' dor had crumbled to dust.

gave Magician Muggles the three hard thumps, the Magician made up his mind, then and there, that he had had enough hard bumps and thumps in try ing to capture the magical boat and that he preferred to stay at home and work his magic charms right there: And, as the litle magical boat floated along, just few feet above the path through the deep,deep woods (for you know, a real for sure magical boat can sail either upon the water, upon the land, or in the air), the Raggedys and the kind little fat Captain sat upon the deck and watched the trees and flowers go sliding by. And, of course, they nibbled upon goodies from the magic cupboard as they talked and laughed.
 When the little boat finally came to bill, Raggedy Andy called Whoa !" and the boat came to a stop.
 Why did you stop the little magi- cal boat, Raggedy Andy?" the little fat Captain asked.

 "We have always run towards the East!" the Hilldinkies replied as one:
 "Ha! Then that's the reason v Raggedy Ann laughed. Someone has changed your legs and put the short one where the long one should be-! Just you all try running to the West!" And when Raggedy Ann placed the Hill dinkies facing the West, with their short legs towards the top of the hill the Hilldinkies all ran around the hill as fast as they could go and did not have a speck of trouble.
 "Ha, ha! Raggedy Ann laughed. "Just like lot of children, when they have i'll manners. It seems hard at first to correct them, but if they just turn the ill manners right around and do the opposite, they become good manners, and everyone knows, good manners are easier than bad man. ners."

lures spinning around!" Raggedy Ann replied as he pointed to four or five funny creatures whirling around and around. Raggedy Andy, Raggedy Ann and the Captain jumped from the boat, and ran to where the creatures now stood. "What funny things!" the Cap tain said. 'They have one long leg and one real short leg! Who are you?" he asked them.
 "We are Hilldinkies the funny creatures replied in chorus. But something has happened to our legs and we can't run around the hill! You see, !" they said, lone of our legs is too short to run on the uper side of the hill and the other leg is too long to rul on the lower side of the hill But when we try to run, we just run in circle and fall down."

he was so tired he just had to rest Danny really wasn't g, very far out in the Great World after all although it seemed to him that he had travelled ever and ever so far.
 When he grew so tired that he felt that he had got to rest he kept his eyes open for a place in which to hide. It wouldn't do to simply sit down any where because some enemy might hap pen along, and if he was too tired to run and there was no hiding place near that would be the end of him. So, though every step made his legs and

Hardly had he done so when he heard &soft, very soft foot steps. He peepsd out and there in the moonlight was Old Man Coyote. He was trotting along with his sharp ears cooked and his keen nose smelling of the ground. He was hunting for din- ner. Danny's heart beat fast as he watched Old Man Coyote who had passed the pile of brush and Danny was beginning to breathe easier. Sud- denly Old Man Coyote turned and looked straight toward him. Then he trotted straight toward that pile of brush. You see, he knew that pile of brush like that might easily hide good dinner and he didn't intend to overlook anything. Danny crawled further under the brush and his heart went thump, thump, thump. vt&

The finest of manicure acids is made by putting teaspoon of lemon juice into a cup of warm water. This removes stains from the fingers and nails and loosens the cuticle more than can be done by the use of sharp instrument.
 The lowering of a lamp-holder a comparatively small distance may make it possible to use consider able weaker lamp without sacrificing good illumination of the table be- meath. To take a concrete example; if the distance be diminished from 4 to 2 feet, an S-candle-power lamp will do the work better than 24- candle power lamp at the greater height. Of course, the light will be more concentrated, and the room less efficiently lit as whole, but in most cases the latter fact is no disadvantage.
 To wash woolen stockings so that they will not shrink is quite easy. First shred some yellow soap into Q small tin saucepan. Cover it with cold water and boil slowly until it is like jelly. Take some tepid water and with the boiled soap make n good father. Wash the stockings in this, rubbing well and using no other soap. Rinse in tepid, clear water, wiring out and hang in the air to dry quickly.

Must Enjoy Reading
 The problem of getting children to read is growing increasingly difficult. They are inclined to let the movies take the place of literature. Therefore, if you are going to get your children to read remember that first of all they must enjoy the reading. If they are bored by book, no matter if it is a classic, do not insist on their reading it. It is better to put it away and substitute a well-written book with more adventurous appeal. Even if you think a book should be read by child, do not force it on him at the expense of causing him to dislike reading for himself.
 This is children's book week. Buy a book for your child.
