THE ENCHANTED WATERFALL

"Water!" he shouted In rage. Moth

but clear cold water flowed there.
Crestfallen and out of temper, the
thirsty band returned to their homes.
When they were fairly gone the good
young woodcutter crept from his hiding
place.
Can this be truce" he thought, cor
was 1t all a dream?"
He approached the stream.
"At any rate" he said to himself,
Il must taste once more, to satisfy

He filled his gourd and drank. Sure

SUMMERTIME
BY %. C. PEATTIE.

The last days of August are NOT 700
early to begin to look for the nttie
bands of birds that will be gathering
now in preparation for the flight south
ward. Except for the uproar OF tne
grackle horde, these gathering Grams
convene without making much OF
to-do about it, and it takes the sharp
eyes, the listening ears OF the true
bird-lover to discover the quiet joining
OF forces In the treetops. Things that
we notice about birds. in the showing
off of the mating season, pass I'M
noticed in the serious and silent busl-
nesses of the approach to Autumn.
Birds travel north in the Spring. for
the most part in bands, and for the
very good reason that they pool thereby
their knowledge as individuals of d.
rection and places to rest and feed.
They court, If not exactly In common,
at least somewhat socially. Like
young human beings, they prefer to
have the choice of available mates.
But the mating and nesting of most
birds is unseen, unknown, alone, and
intensely and beautifully secret. All
through June and July and August
birds are in pairs or with their young,
and family life is supreme among them.
One can count on one hand the eX-
ceptions among our common inland
birds. such as bank swallows. But with
the end of Summer and of nesting joys
each species meets again its own kind
in preparation for departure. Who calls
them together, how they know when
and where to come, know not.

a French Maid Afternoon"
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

There is many Young lady, and
older one coo, rfo would not object 10
having French maid--or a personal
maid even of less famed nationality, Yet
those who have them are only numoer-
ed among the very well-to-do, and look
ed at with some envy ey their less
moneyed sisters. To have ones ward
robe ALWAYS in the best condition is lux
ury indeed
The question is, how much of this
desired feeling can one acquire without
| the expense entailed by maid. II one
actually analyses the sewing tasks per-
! formed by her, there Is none among
! them that one could not do ones self
| AS a matter OF fact, when done away
from the stress and hurry OF the emer-
, pencv which calls for them at once
when time Is lacking for their doing,
they are simple, rather pleasant and
easy tasks.
So let us surround ourselves With the
luxurious feeling of suppoSing we have
someone to do for us. in the most ex-
ouisite way. all the little personal mend
inc duties which hang like a cloud
over our leisure hours. and enjoy what
we might call "a French maid AFTER
noon" The touch of fineness will
quite naturally accompany all that we
undertake in this mood. the catching
of a hem in a skirt. running of ribbon
in lingerie recently from the laundry
taking off a spot in a dress. mending
the finger of glove, etc.
MANY OF the things upon which one
is working are such as could easily be
slipped into bag or overnight case.
Why not make an added pleasure OF
the necessity, and invite several OF
ones girl friends to come with their
similar tasks and enjoy with you on "a
French maid afternoon?
Such an invitation is likely to meet
With hearty response. for, not only
is it agreeable to find a way of making
low of this essential. but it is imply
ing a delightful compliment to those
included Any girl likes to have 1t
supposed that her things are tended
with the same care that would be be-
slowed had she a maid for the purpose
When such group is formed part
OF the fun should be for each to be on
the lookout and tell the others OF any
exquisite ways that she hears are con-
sidered the best for doing such things
as are at hand. One may know the

use French chalk in the cleansing OF

least a week or longer At the end of
that time they should be shaken out.

profit by the knowledge of how to

Could anything be more ideal Tor long

needs is enough room for one foot,

The tapering piece up the back offers

A Healthy Body.

The first IL years of a child's life.

nature to be used in growing healthy

upon the children other aims. They
must learn manners. lessons, morals.

children learn these things. but the
first necessity Is the health OF their
growing bodies.
For the first six years we ought to
content ourselves with teaching health
habits to the little ones and consider
all else, delightful accomplishments
though they be. as secondary. 1t Is
better. for instance, that a little child OF
six know how to brush his teeth. pre-
serve his eyesight, attend to his diet,
consider his digestive and eliminatory
processes highly important. know how
to swim, to dance, to climb tree and
throw ball straight. reverence life and
goodness, than 1t is for him to be able
to read. A healthy child will have
gathered sufficient brain work to master
the reading processes easily when
called upon to do so. A sick child does
not learn to master anything, especially
himself
The children from 6 to l2-agair

A Sermon for Today
Where Others Have Fallen.
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.


Text: Let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall Cor
x.l2
There is no more dangerous pre-
sumption than when man thinks he
Is safe against temptation and does
not need to be on his guard. Under
this presumption many a man has
made shipwreck of himself. Think
ing himself strong enough TO stand
without risk where others have slipped
and fallen. he has allowed himself to
trif1e with temptation, and almost be-
fore he was aware OF his danger, has
found himself in the tolls of a shame
ful and disgraceful affair.
Take the case OF David's disgraeeful
affair with Bathsheba. 1t was all the
result OF foolish presumption. David
was a man of mighty will power.
When he began to cast his eyes to-
wards Bathsheba he never dreamed
that he would succumb to her wiles
and beauty He was but INDUCING a
passing fancy. II would never master
him. He was too strong for that.
But he continued to play with that
fancy. And before ne scarcely real
lied it. that which at first was but a
playful fancy became passionate
flame, Strong and secure as he felt
himself 10 be, David was swept off his
feet
Let him that thinketh he standeth
take heed" I never see another go
wrong in any direction but that stop
| and check up on myself We all have
the same human nature. And In our
human nature there is something
capable OF responding TO any appeal
temptation may make. We should be-
ware therefore of the seif-confident
presumption that we can touch pitch
| and not be defiled. We should beware
OF that overweening vanity which
courts danger. None of us can afford
TO trust ourselves in slippery places
where others have fallen
