AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One Mother Says:
Clothes do not make the man
well, maybe; but sometimes they do
make little girl. My little girl had
been a bad little girl in school that
morning. At noon her teacher sent
her home to me with note reporting
the matter We talked it over. ask
ed her if she had tried to be good.
She said she had; but, somehow, she
could not seem to feel like being good.
Cant you make me feel that way,
Mama?" thought seriously while !
watched her slowly frightening face.
Then she spoke up hopefully Mama,
If you'll let me wear my prettiest beads
I can be good. They always make
me feel-polite; and when I'm polite
I'm good. They make me feel that
way"
And so I permitted her to wear the
beads. That evening she brought home
a good behavior card. Give the beads

all this the ideal poster should be. In

evident. In some of the churches the
example of Santa Maria Nuovella is
comparatively closely followed, and now

whole the baroque in Prague takes on
the air Of free development and attains

THE world of art has suffered a severe
loss in the death of Charles Crafty,
the distinguished sculptor, who died in
Philadelphia May g. as the result OF
injuries received April 10, when he was
struck by an automobile. Mr.. Crafty
is the sculptor OF the Meade Memorial,
in this city, and his portrait busts were
among the finest that have been pro-
duced. He was an instructor at the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts
where he received his first professional
training. and his influence through his
teaching. as well as through his work
was widespread and beneflcent. He
was born in Philadelphia in 1852, and
he was in his siXty-seventh year, ap-
