Treasures of the Linen Chest

where space is so at a premium that

storage space.
Modification of either attitude is
to be desired. and in it is found the
happy medium. For certain amount
of use is beneficial, rather than HARM
ful, to anything made of fabric. There
are some things which do not suffer
from being laid away indefinitely, but
linens. silks and other woven goods are
not among them. So it is i'll advised to
refrain entirely from putting such
treasures to occasional practical serv-
ice. The problem then becomes: How
shall they be given the best care and
handling?
This is no remote concern, but one
which many have had to solve. Old
quilts of silk as we'll as of cotton, home

The Stranger Drops.
Cubby Bear stood on the ground lot

Cubby Bear stood on the ground look
ing UP into a tree 1t was too small
tree for him to climb. Grinning down
at him from near the top was a
stranger stranger to him. anyway.
Now Cubby knew that that stranger
was afraid. Had he not been afraid re
wouldn't have climbed that tree. But
there he was up the tree, and Cubby
was doing his best to snake MIN down.
But though he shook and he shook and
he shook and he shook. he couldn't
make the stranger lose his hold. And
the more he shook the angrier Cubby
grew He tried to scramble up, but
the little branches broke and the little
tree bent and he just couldn't get up.
Finally Cubby was forced to give UP.
Then he had happy idea. He would
go OH little way and hide. He would
wait for that stranger to come down.
SO Cubby shuffled away, and when he
was sure that the stranger could no
longer see him he very softly stole
around to one side and there he sat
down where he could watch the
stranger. but was quite sure he couldn't
be seen himself. He waited and waited
and waited. The stranger knew when
he was well of. He remained right
where he was. He seemed quite salts
fed to stay in the top of that little
tree.
Now little Bears seldom have much
patience. Cubby remained quiet for
remarkably long time for a little Bear.
But at last his patience gave out. He
just couldn't keep still any longer. He
was Just getting ready to give up and
go shufning off when the stranger in
the little treetop began to move. He
crept out on small branch and he
let go with his tail. Cubby Bear saw
his chance. Before you could wink an
eye he was at the foot of that little
tree and shaking it. This time he was
successful. The stranger lost his hold.
He flew out into the air and down he
dropped to the ground with a thump.
Cubby rushed over to where the
stranger had fallen. expecting to see
him scramble to his feet and run away.
But the stranger lay right where lie
fell. Cubby stopped and stared. The
stranger lay on his side; his lips were
partly drawn back, showing his teeth;
he didn't move so much as a toe; his
eyes were closed. Could it be that that
fall had killed him?
Cubby walked in little circle around
the stranger. He walked around him
three times. Still the stranger didn't
move. Very gingerly Cubby reached out
and touched him. The stranger didn't
