BEAUTY CHATS
Comfortable Feet.

If you have the money you should
go to chiropodist twice year just
as you go to your dentist twice year;
but once every six months is not enough
to keep the feet in really comfortable
condition. so I advise you to learn how
to give yourself the following very SIM
pie, month treatment.
1t is easiest to do this after your
bath, for then the feet have been soak
ing certain length of time in warm
soapy water; otherwise you'll have to
soak them. Take a corn knife, which
you can purchase at any drug store; or,
If you can manage it, take a safety
razor blade and go over the callous
parts of the skin. There will probably
be real or growing corns on each little
toe. This is nothing but hard skin and
can be shaved off with your knife. Only
the top dead layers of skin should be
taken off, for the pain comes from the
pressure of this dead skin on the like
skin and the nerves beneath. There
may be other hard spots of skin, and
these should be shaved off at the same
time, and the place should always be
rubbed with cold cream.
The toenails should be cleaned under
with regular file. such as is used on
the finger nails. The corners most par
ticularly should be cleaned out, espe-
cially around the big toe nails, where
SO much lint from the stockings col
lects. The nails should be cut quite
short, especially the big toe nails, which
should always be trimmed SO they are
shorter in the center than at the Sides
If this is done the tendency is for the
nails to draw the sides up out of the
flesh, and painful ingrowing nails are
thus avoided.

occasion of the closing of the grand pa
triotic fair to raise money for the bene-
fit of the families of the Union soldiers.
The arrival of President Lincoln and
Mrs. Lincoln and the Presidents speech
were the principal events of the eve

distinguished and popular men present.
The President and his wife were greeted
with tremendous cheers when they en-
tered the hall. An enthusiastic welcome
was also given to Gen. Sickles, who
hobbled through the room on crutches.
After the President and his party
were conducted to the platform, the
crowd surged in that direction so heavily
that there was a succession OF little
screams from the young ladies who were
caught in the jam, and considerable
angry expostulations from the elderly
women whose corns suffered in the press

cheering.
The President then referred to the
part the women are playing in this war,
and continued:
II am unuccustomed to the use of
language of eulogy. I have never
studied the art of paying compliments
to women, but I must say that If all
that has been said by orators and poets

the woman who has strictly limited

ment than the wooden suit that may
be worn with comfort only few weeks.
Green and yellow seem to be a
favorite color combination this Spring.
One new silk suit is made of yellow
and green silk with three-quarter-
length coat, pleated and all-yellow

rough silk lined with jade green and
worn with blouse of the same
color. A rose-red silk is worn with a
pink blouse, and orchid is combined
with violet in another. Some Of the
new two-piece suits of rough silks are
made so that they may be laundered
This gives them another advantage
over the lightweight wooden suit, espe-
cially for sports and country wear.
The model shown in the sketch is
of navy blue-more appropriate then

WORLD FAMOUS STORIES

and it is a very important one. Who
told on you?"
Grandma Grove" the boy replied.
There you are" I said; "a woman
told on you. And venture to say that
within an hour after you told this story
you were caught"
Charley corrected my f1gures-he was
caught in 20 minutes.
That's the reason why you shouldn't
tell stories-you are always caught and
you are always caught promptly. The
average with me has possibly been
above 20 minutes, but / have always
been caught. And it is usually the
women who tell on me. Women are
more truthful than men and boys and
they seem to take special delight in
catching them in stories. know you

Women don't know knee-deep from over
your head.
You couldn't have been drowned in
that pond if the other boys had thrown
you in and sat on you. You knew that.
but your mother didn't, so you should
have told her the truth. You should
always behave as well as possible, since
that is really the easiest way, but above
everything else don't tell stories. The
reason I have already explained-you
are always caught. Millions of boys are
telling millions of whoppers every day.
but every wretch is caught: il not by
his grandmother then by his sisters: If
not by his sisters, then by some woman
In the neighborhood. Young as you are,
you must have noticed the pleasure your
mother. grandmother. sisters and the
neighbor women take in catching you
But you will never know how a woman
can actually enjoy herself until you
marry and your wife begins catching
you. Promise me you will never tell
another and I'll do what can to get
you off. I see your father coming home
to dinner
The boy promised and we went over
to his father. whose name is George
Washington Grove, but people call him
Wash.
Wash" I said, "our friend Charley
is in trouble. The women have caught
him in story and they are waiting
for you to whip him. OF course,
know you never told one, and I con-
fess am myself greatly shocked at
Charley's conduct. But he promised
me he will never tell another, and II
you will let him off this time, I'll go
on his bond"
We'll" Wash said, "I'll go in and
talk to mamma about 1t"
And he led the boy away I knew
mamma was all right, and in few
minutes Charley appeared in his own
clothes.
The advice I gave Charley I give you
Don't tell stories. because the women
will always catch you.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
What Them

The teacher looked over Henry's work
and shook her head. Dear, dear, this
is lazy boy. No mark over CO." And
she made out his report and wrote
across it, in red ink, Lazy"
Now Henry's father and mother were
greatly disturbed about this, SO they
talked to the teacher about 1t, and
she said, 'The trouble with Henry is
that he Is lazy. But perhaps you'd
better take him to the doctor"
So they took Henry to the doctor.
The wise man listened to the story
THE trouble with Henry is that he Is
adolescent. But perhaps you'd better
take him to the psychologist" So they
took Henry to the psychologist.
The learned psychologist listened to
the story and asked some questions
about Henry's grandfather and great
grandfathers and then he said, THE
trouble with. Henry is that he Is intro
verted. He looks toward himself too
much. But maybe you'd better take
him to the best school teacher you can
find and see what he says about him"
So the father and mother, much
troubled, took Henry back to the school
again and asked the principal what
was to be done with Henry. 1.-THE
teacher says he Is lazy and the doctor
gist says he Is introverted. But here
Is Henry. What Is to be done with
him?"
The principal of the school, having
seen many Henrys. said: What is
wrong with Henry is that he is grow
ing up and that's trouble enough for
any boy. He is lazy? That may mean
anything. imagine that 1t means the
classroom is too warm. that he hasn't
enough moving about to keep his cir
culation up to the mark. hasn't enough
air circulating about his body. Too
much clothing and not enough moving
about. Too much food maybe. Well
have to look into his diet
"And how about sleep? This lad
needs to sleep 10 hours a day. And
how about play? Does he get a chance
to play hard in the open air for two
an hour or two to do nothing at all,
If he chooses? That he must have,
too And couple Of jobs that he has
to do whether he likes TO or not? That
he must have also.
Does he have good water to drink
and does he drink It? Air and water
and food and sleep and work and play
in the right quantities will cure any
boy of laziness. Laziness doesn't mean
thing except that somebody has
noticed that the boy--or the girl
isn't happily busy All healthy chill
dren are happily busy.
Adolescence isn't disease, and 1t
isn't something that comes on sud-
denly. He has been growing adolescent
for several years and more. And being
introverted means he is selfish, self
conferred, self bound. He has to be
shown the way to the outer world. and
he, being normally healthy, will do the
rest himself"
Naming q child's trouble won't cure
1t, but 1t may show you the way to
help the youngster over a hard place.
After putting label on the difficulty,
do something about 1t.
