LITTLE BENNY
BY LEE PARE.

Pop Is going to take us all to Paris
next week on account Of having to go
for bizniss, and tonite after suppir he
took a peece of paper out of his poe
kit, saying, There's no use going to
Paris without having some site ideer
Of watts over there, l was tawking to
one of our travelling men today, and
I've got a list heer.
What kind of list? ma sed.
A list of some of the intristing
places to see over there, pop sed, and
ma sed, o. is that all?
zee gods, wat did you think I had,
a list of kootleggers, there's no such
thing over there, the profession is I'M
known, in fact it's unnecessary, pop
sed.- This is a list of famous bildings
and historical institutions and so forth,
sutch as Napoleons toom and the
Iloover and the Eiffel tower and so
forth and so on, do you wunt me to
reed it off to you? he sed.
No, it would only mix me all up.
ma sed. I was thinking it mite be a
list something like the list Mrs. Hews
gave me today, she sed.
Wat list is that? pop sed, and ma
sed, Well it's list Of shops that she
speshilly recommends, it's quite long
list but I remember some Of the names
allreddy, such as Madam Marcel for
hats and Dupont and Dubree for
gowns, or is it Dupont and Dubree for
hats and Madam Marcel for gowns,
l think it would help me to keep the
names strate if l red you the whole
list, I've got it rite heer.
Well then keep it rite there, suffi-
cient unto the day is the expenditure
thereof, zee gods, I'm going around
to the bowling alley and get my mind
off this European trip, pop sed.
WITCH he did, and ma red her list
off to herself out loud so she would
remember the different names wen she
got to Paris.

the things themselves. They must
realize that by whomever the things
were made they would be fine. That
she happens to be the one who creates
such a high grade article Is fortunate,
but Il Is the article that she Is trying
to dispose OF that she must stress.
There is nothing conceited about such
an attitude, though there Is and must
be an assurance that commands
respect.
Overcoming Barriers.
It Is the women who do things with
rare excellence and who are hampered
by the hesitancy to speak of their
work as meriting a market who have
the hardest time. They must over
come this trait and appreciate that It
is their wares that are the matters
Of significance, not the fact that they
made them. For instance. If 1t is
food that they have a gift for making,
they should learn to speak Of the fine
quality Of the ingredients that go
into the making. Cakes that have the
best Of everything in their compost
ton, mayonnaise in which only the
purest OF oil is used. jellies that are
made without any other fruit but the
one specified, etc.--these are what are
termed talking points" These are
the lights" that should not be con-
cealed but revealed. For such things
the best prices should be asked and
paid.
Fancy Work.
Or IL It is in the field of fancy work
that a woman would earn extra
money, she must be able to talk about
the articles with interest. Why did
she decide to make the definite thing
that she is offering to the buyers OF
such things in a store. perhaps to
some exchange or shop that is an
outlet for just such things? Is 1t
because she recognizes that there Is
a demand and she is qualified to sup
ply It? Because she can offer some
novel and original touch to give zest
to sales? Or Is it because by training
she Is an expert with her needle,
crochet hook or knitting needles and
has something distinctive in her crea-
lions that she is trying to sell?
Point of View.
It will be seen that there must be
some reason for a woman to offer her
goods, or to market her wares" as it
Is called, and that when she has such
a reason she must be able to make the
prospective buyer appreciate her
points of view and to show that what
she says is proven by what she has
to offer.
Balanced Judgment.
The woman who overvalues her
wares Is hopeless, for to market the
things she must absolutely know what
is worthy and what is poor. There
are many such women. They believe
that they should get full selling prices
for articles that are not up to mark
in grade. To these women let me
whisper a word of advice. Make a
study of the things with an eye to
knowing their value, and then create
articles that are. IL possible, better
than those on the market. To be
able to market ones wares a woman
must know values as well as have the
confidence that what she offers is of
SURPRISING quality. She must be able
to quell her personality. being neither
self.effacing nor conceited when she
talks about the articles, and then she
should give the things due praise.

quite sure Of what Mrs. Bear might
do If she thought anything was going

heard many stories of the f1erceness
Of Mrs Bear when her cubs were with

les, but he didn't know.
Crawling through the bushes, taking
care to make no sound, he at last
reached the place where he could see
what was going on. At first all he
saw was Mrs. Bear and one of the
cubs. This little cub was sitting off

Farmer Browns Boy discovered the

! Parrakeet Wins Special Favor
By MARY MARSHALL.

That's the bird-the parrakeet-a
dainty little bright-feathered parrot
with a wedge-shaped tail. In his own
estimation he has always been a very
f1ne-looking bird. You can tell by his
expression as he sits on his perch at
the bird store that he Is troubled with
no sort Of inferiority complex.
At present Dame Fashion seems to
agree entirely with the parrakeet, for
she has picked him out for special IA
vor this Summer. There has been an
unusual demand for parrakeets at the
bird stores. Some people, Of course,
have parrots, for the time has long
passed when parrots were considered
especially appropriate to the forlorn
old maid. But in this day Of kitchen
cites, dinettes and powder tables that
fold UP when not in use, small pets
are chosen in preference to large ones.
Pomeranians are in greater demand
than Great Danes and parrakeets leave
the parrots on the shelf, literally as
we'll as figuratively.
Now there are parrakeet trimmings
on hats. and at one of the smartest of
Summer resorts / have seen no end
of large, natural-colored straw hats or
namented with little parrakeets on the
side, with ribbon bands in colors to
match the bright plumage. OF course,
I didn't examine the plumage, but even
IL it was just hen feathers dyed to
match this gay little bird of the
tropics, it doesn't really make any diff
ference to us-and 1t probably makes
a whole lot Of difference to the par.

mind how many little plasters you
have to use-stick " the thin film Of
wet cotton.
They dry out soon. Of course, and
when dry, fall off. Don't let them dry
for a bit. Keep your ether mixture
in a bottle, and as the cotton dries. tip
the open mouth of the bottle against
it again, just enough to moisten it. In
half an hour. let them dry and come
off IL they want.
This Is wonderful for pimples, be-
cause it takes out the oil from the bad
spots and dries the skin. The ugly
little scab that must form over tbe
pimple will dry up very quickly and
come off, leaving no mark behind 1t.
Don't pull these off, or you might
mark the skin; dry them and let them
come away of themselves.
Nighttime, rub the skin thoroughly
with zinc or sulphur ointment. Often
pimples come because the skin re-
infects itself. They go on for months
after the original cause has been re-
moved. These ointments are anti.
septic.
