hurt-and ever since-took it upon
herself to finance the family. Be-
sides doing janitor work. at one of
the little brick churches, she did
general homework for some of the
weather. families.
She was a middle aged woman,
but due to hard work and much
worry, was ageing fast physically.
Her dark hair was slightly streak
ed with grey and her once beauti-
full deep blue eyes had lost their
youthful glow. As she moved about
the house Nova could see that her
usual quick steps were now failing
slowly and that her strength was
growing less and less.
Mother, wish I didn't have to
go to school. 1t seems as if the
other girls don't like me because /
don't dress as nice as they and !
don't live in nice home like some
of them. They talk to me at school
but / haven't a real friend. If it
wasn't for music and reading ! be-
lieve I would quit. And besides
you need me to help you"
Nova sat down at the little table
that contained the scanty break
fast that her mother had prepared.
1t was seldom that Nova made
known her unhappiness for she
realized the need of keeping from
her mother, who already carried
such burdens, even her simple little
worries.
She ate her breakfast in silence.
Several times she had to force back
the tears that seemed determined
to fill her eyes and almost blind
her. After finishing her breakfast
she got her books, kissed her moth
er goodbye and started up the
muddy path that led across the va
cant lot along the shore to where
the sidewalk began.
The gentle morning breeze gaily
blew the little ringlets on her head
in every direction but her black
eyes were saddened and the cheer
full smile had left her eyes. Her
slender body was clothed in a little
dark blue serge suit that was sew
eral years out of style, also too
large. 1t had been given to her
mother by one of the women for
whom she worked.
AS Nova stepped onto the pave

ment she stamped her feet to rid
them of the mud that had accumu
lated on her shoes. In doing so the
two badly battered books fell to
the ground. The loose leaves flew
in every direction. The papers that
she had worked so hard upon were
picked up by the breeze and carried
access the street. She stood there
for a moment gazing at the mass
of papers. Hot tears filled her
eyes and blinded her. She brushed
the tears away and started picking
up the papers.

4 nd-Made Rugs Duplicated
y" Rv Use Of Old Silk Stockings

rugs of parts of old worn clothing.
The most popular Of the handmade
rugs of today is made of worn silk
stockings, either in their original
colors or dyed for the development
of a certain definite design. Long,
narrow, continuous strips made by
cutting around the stocking in a
circular fashion are worked on a
mat or a background of burlap or
screen. The cross stitch is popular
for this purpose, as is also the
needle point stitch which gives
practically the same finished eff
feet and perhaps takes a little less
time. The hoped rugs are also
beautiful. Other silk knit materials,
cut into narrow strips and used
either dyed or plain, supplement
the stocking supply.

shiny hair that was combed pomp-
adore on his well-shaped head. His
eyes were of unusual deep blue,
which, Nova thought, were too
serious to belong to this type Of
person. She recognized him al
Ernest Grayson, whom she had
seen so much at school. He stood
there with his hands on his hips
and a silly grin on his thin lips,

Carsonville was little village
situated on the southeast coast of
England. 1t was wealthy little
town with a population of about
fifteen hundred. It's numerous
homes were both beautiful and
large. Many denominations were
represented in this town and con-
sequently there were many quaint
churches of the old type with
clinging vines almost covering the
highest steeples. In the outskirts
of the town along the waterfront
were little rows of implanted
shacks that were occupied by the
poorer class and the foreigners.
1t was in one of these that Nova
Velez lived with her parents.
Nova was a young girl of six
teen, with black shiny hair that
lay in little ringlets about her face
and fell gently on her well-rounded
neck. Her large black eyes were
unusually bright and laughing and
a sunny smile lay constantly on the
well-shaped lips, revealing two
rows of pearl white teeth.
Some years before, Nova's faith
er had been injured while working
on fishing schooner. He had been
unable to leave the house for sew
eral months and even now was not
completely well. Since then he had
never been able to hold down job
of any kind. In fact-he hadn't
tried very hard. He was an Italian
with dark skin and black unkept
hair. Under the usual prominent
Italian nose was a coarse mustache
of which he was very proud. He
had the habit Of twirling the ends
upward when attempting to think
or when in a sleep, or drowsy
mood, which was most Of the time.

Eat Sweets at End of Meal

Sugar taken on an empty stom-
ach irritates the mucuous lining of
the stomach. 1t draws moisture
from this lining just as a piece of
sugar held in the mouth against

cause it to pucker. 1t is best to

will separate it from the stomach
walls.
