WORLD FAMOUS STORIES
THE FOOTMEN'S PARTY.

A couple of tables were put together
IN the middle of the parlor, covered with
three or four cloths of different ages and
dates of washing, arranged to look as
much like one as the circumstances of
the case would allow. Upon these were
laid knives and forks for six or eight
people. Some of the knife handles were
green, others red and a few yellow: and
as all the forks were black, the combi-
nation OF colorS was exceedingly strik-
ing. Plates for corresponding number
of guests were warming behind the fen
der and the guests themselves were
warming before it: the chief and most
important of whom appeared to be a
Stoutish gentleman In bright crimson
coat with long tails, wildly red breeches
and cooked hat. who was standing
with his back to the fire and had ap-
parently- just entered, for besides re-
tanning his cooked hat on his head he
carried in his hand high stick,
such as gentlemen of his profession
(footmen) usually elevate in sioping
position over the roofs of carriages.
"Smauker, my lad, your fin," said
the gentleman with the cooked hat.
Mr.. Smauker dovetailed the top joint
of his right hand little finger into that
of the gentleman with the cooked hat
and said he was charmed to see him
looking so we'll.

pretty blooming" said the man with the
cooked hat, and it's a wonder, too

At this, the assembled select footmen
laughed very heartily and one gentle
man in yellow waistcoat, with coach
trimming border. whispered neighbor
in green foil smalls that Tuckle was in

"By the bye" said Mr.. Tuckle,
''Smauker by boy. you" The re-

into Mr.. John Smauker's ear, by whis-

"oh, dear me. 7 quite forgot" said
Mr.. John Smauker. Gentlemen, my
friend, Mr.. Weller"

nod. Hope you're not cold, Weller"

Sam. "It 'ud be a very chilly subject as

She checked up with her physician
and found that the baby's diet should
include the following foods:
One quart Of milk each day. cereal
gruels or jellies. She made these by
cooking an ounce Of dry cereal with one
cupful of water in the upper part OF a
double boiler for four hours. This long
cooking made it easy to put the cooked
cereal through sieve. thus taking out
the fibrous part of the cereal. Later,
when the baby was q year and a half
old. she did not strain the cereal.

The newest discovery in beauty
culture is that creamed magnesia
is much better for the complexion
than any soap or cleansing cream.
1t beauties the skin instantly, in
the same easy way that milk of
magnesia purifies the stomach.
This is because skin impurities
are acid. Doctors treat acid in
side the body with milk of mag
nesia. And now, dermatologists
are getting amazing results in
banishing complexion faults with
creamed magnesia. All you do is
anoint your skin with it, mas
sage and rinse with water. It's
as simple as washing your face.
1t reduces enlarged pores to the
finest, smoothest texture almost
as if by magic. Being astringent,
it drives away the tell-tale signs
of age. You will marvel at the
effect of your first fve-minute
facial massage. 1t rejuvenates
the skin so quickly that any wom-
an can look lovely tonight, years
younger. It's marvellous how mag
nesia dissolves blackheads, clears
eruptions and corrects oily skin.

YOUR CHILDREN -
Be Careful of
Spoken Words
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The spoken word puts a seal on
thought. It clinches a memory
and rivets an impression. Watch out
for the spoken word.
Watch it particularly in children.
We're very likely to let a child's
chatter go in one ear and out the
other, but every word he utters is
fixing something in his mind
permanently.
Weren't the old schoolmaSters
wise, though, when they started the
oral recitation In class. Some Of us
are rather inclined to think that
spoken lessons are a hangover
from Notwithstanding things out
loud when all that is necessary is
quietly to read ideas out of a book
and fix them in our minds.
Spoken Word Remembered
In days gone by, psychology was
conspicuous by its absence, but the
SchoolmaSters soon discovered that
ideas stuck when they were repeated
aloud, far better and much longer
than those that were merely read
and memori5ed. The spoken recita-
ton became an institution.
So we must watch the things OUR
children say. If we want good
things fixed in their minds and
characters, we should encourage
them to talk about them. If we
want to keep down the bad weeds,
the best thing to dry them up is
the salt of silence.
CoEe Was Right
There is no use trying to debunk
Coue. He had right idea--funds-
mentally right, that is. If We say
we're better, actually say it, GER
tainly, we're no worse.
If we have children who are pain
fully convinced that they can't do
things right, and, or dear me! there
are millions of uS-the wisest thing
We can do is to put a maxim Silencer
on that daily little plant, Il can't
do it, Mother. I'm no good at it, !"
It may be John talking about get
ting on the home team, or Mary,
trying for a prize in drawing, or it
may be Junior learning to swim.
Don't Permit "Belittling"
Often it does not take such def
mite concrete form-a child just
naturally gets into the habit of "be-
lifting" everything he does and is.
"Oh, I'm just no good" I'm such
an awkward old thing "Those are
the smartest kids I ever saw. They're
not dumb like me-" What's the use
of standing straight. I'm Just an
ugly old mutt no matter how
stand"
Well, we mothers mustn't stand
for such talk. Don't let them say
it and fix the idea of such utter
futility in their minds If We do,
it will stay fixed. all right, and Well
never be able to root it out.

Bride Must
F01gethea
ofDiUorce
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

A poor little bride Of three months
is worried because she believes she
has made a mistake.
Says she. Sometimes I think I
love him. Sometimes I think I
don't. What shall I do?'
Well, my dear, just say a little
prayer and do the best you can.
Three months-ol matrimony is
delicate thing and must be handled
with velvet touch. If all brides told
the truth, no doubt each would say
that she endured many a qualm
of misgiving before three months
had passed.
BY that time some of the glamor
is beginning TO fade. There may be
days when marriage is a bit weari-
some and when the bridegroom does
not appear so handsome and fasci-
mating as usual
Like Every Other Woman
That's natural Just tell yourself
that every woman who ever lived
and married suffered such senSa-
tons. and Coo knows what strange
thoughts may be attacking your
husband.
its a pitiful thing that We let
youngsters rush headlong into mar
riage without more advice as to how
/ to make adjustments.
OF course I realize that children
seldom listen to the wise things their
parents tell them.
But if we could only teach them
that marriage is just life and that
one must live so as to bear with
the peculiar whim and faults of
another.
Today one senses the undercur-
rent of divorce thought running
through all the early months and
years of marriage. It crops up in
all the walls of unhappy brides.
Before divorce became fashion
able, wives endured many things be-
fore they brought themselves to act
You Are Not Perfect
Now every little pang of unpleas-
antneSs makes the bride wonder
whether she might just as we'll run
of and have the nuptial knot I'M
tied.
I believe firmly that many mar
riages that might grow into splen-
did unions are disrupted because d-
vorce lives always in the subcon-
scious minds of the girls Of today.
It's so easy to become unmarried,
and so hard to know just what ono
does want.
So my advice to all brides is to
stick it out bit longer.
And remember that you yourself
are not perfect.
