how many are enoughP" he asked Sc
verely.
"As many as wanted" said Jerry.
Peter looked at Jerry for long min
ute and began to suspect the truth.
Jerry Muskrat," said he, you don't
know how many children you've got.
No. sir; you don't know how many
babies you've got. The idea! The very
idea!
Jerry squirmed uncomfortably. FinaG7
ne admitted 1t was so. You see," he
explained, there isn't room in that
home of mine for two big people like
Mrs. Muskrat and myself and those
babies all at the same time. OF course,
they have to have their mother, and so
I keep out of there. I know Mrs. Musk
rat would prefer that should"
do you mean to say that you haven't
been in there since those babies were
born?" Peter demanded.
"Oh, I've been in there!" replied Jerry
hastily. "Of course, I've been in there.
But it was dark in there and couldn
stay but just minute, and those babies
Squirmed so that / could not have
counted them If I had had plenty of
time
Hasn't Mrs Muskrat told you how
many babies you have?" inquired Peter.
NO" said Jerry. "All she has said is
that there are plenty. Now you know as
much about them as I do. Plenty
doesn't mean much. It may mean one
thing today and another thing tomo:-
row, depending on just how you are
feeling when you say it. If Mrs. Musk
rat happened to feel out of sorts two o.;
three would be plenty. If she happened
to be feeling fine, plenty might mean
nalf dozen.
1t was perhaps two weeks later that
Peter and Jerry found out just what
plenty did mean. Peter was sitting
on the bank of the Smiling Pool just
after jolly, round, red Mr.. Sun had
gone to bed behind the Purple Hills.
Jerry Muskrat was idly floating in the
water Just below him Suddenly Mrs.
Muskrat appeared. She had come out
of the underwater doorway of her
home and up to the surface. Then a
funny little head popped up just behind
her. Peters eyes popped out and his
ears stood up straight. "One," said
Peter. Another little head popped up.
1.-TWO" said Jerry Muskrat
A third little head appeared, and an
other. Three! -Four! cried Peter.
Up popped two more. Five! Ski"
cried Jerry.
Another pair appeared. Seven!
Eight" shouted Peter, beginning to
dance about.
One more popped up. "Nine!" said
Jerry Muskrat, drawing long breath.
"Plenty!" said Mrs. Muskrat.

Today in
Washington History
BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

June %, 1S65.-For several days
Washington and various States in the
North have been filled with rlmors that
the people of the South, or a certain
large class of them, are banding them
selves together for the purpose Of refusing
to accept the result of the War Between
the States-the death Of slavery in the
United States. Investigations by corre-
spondents and others, on the ground In
the South, however, indicate that there
is no truth whatever in these reports.
Since the surrender of Lees army"
says The Evening Star today, 'the
whole South has steadily proclaimed its
frank acquescence in the acceptance of
the death OF slavery. We challenge
the world to produce the first paragraph,
written or spoken by Southern man
since that event, that controverts this
important truth.
1.-The New York Tribune to the con-
trary Notwithstanding, the Negro there
must labor for the balance of the cur
rent year on present subsistence, and
wages at its end, just as all hired farm
labor was paid throughout the South,
up to the breaking out of the war.
LID ID D-Cd1SS Tile employers are WIFI
out means of paying labor weekly or
monthly, as Is done in the North.
"A very brief time will suffice for the
reorganization of farm work throughout
the South, when the legitimate demand
for Negro labor will fix it's price as lib
orally as that has been done through
out Maryland, where SIS per month
with board and lodging is cheerfully
paid by all to their field hands without
incumbrance, and In proportion to any
and all disposed to work, of either sex,
of any age, with or without incun-
brance."
About 100 former Confederate prison.
ers, who have been confined at the big
prison camp at Point Lookout, at the
mouth of the Potomac River in st.
Marys County, Md, arrived this morn
ing in Washington and took the oath of
allegiance to the United States. They
were furnished transportation to their
homes by the Northern authorities.
In about one weeks time it is ex-
pected that all the Confederate prison.
ers at Point Lookout will have been re-
leased and sent on their way to their
homes in the Southern States. The
camp, according to the present plans of
the War Department, will then be
broken up.

small articles lend themselves to this
treatment.
CloisSone paste-ons can be made by
cutting skeleton frameworks from black,
gold, silver or white paper and filling in
the blank spaces with colored papers.
The colors may be so arranged that a
pattern is brought out, or q rainbow
effect can be produced.
The Italians have used this method
with good results. They use a pattern
suited to the shape of the surface to
be ornamented and take great pains to
bring out the pattern in a classic beauty.
One box with silver cloisSons pasted on
showed a pattern of roses with foliage
and background carried out in ex-
qulsitely soft tones of rose, green and
cedar.
The cloissons can be made of fine
cord and the spaces filled in with the
papers. This is sometimes termed
cordonne work. The papers should be
fitted together over the penciled or
printed outlines and the cords pasted
down following the outlines. This is
an excellent method to follow in
c!oissone paste-ons, as well as the work
that goes by the above name.
In all the work the design should be
drawn or traced on the surface to be
ornamented. This is then covered with
glue or partially covered and the work
done over the sticky surface until that
is decorated when more glue is put on
and the work continued. The part COW
cred with the glue must be completely
concealed with the papers and the
cloissons. however the latter are made
No surface that has had glue on 1t
should remain without decoration. After
the design is completed and the work
bone dry coat 1t with shellac.

In the gray house of Verrocchio, in
Florence, Leonardo da Vinci wrought
in metal and stone. Verrocchio kept
turning out masterpieces for his patron,
Lorenzo de Medici, and of all of his
pupils none was so talented as Leon
ardo. Hence none was so constantly
employed.
The boys naturally sturdy frame de-
veloped magnif1cently as the years
passed. His muscles were like steel
and co-ordinated with that grace which
enables a maximum of strength. In all
Florence no youth dared oppose his
strength to him.
At the door one evening he suddenly
thrust out a sinewy arm and tore off
the heavy iron ring used as a knocker.
While his comrades looked on with
bulging eyes, his long fingers closed
around the ring. His wrists cramped
and the muscles of his arms bulged.
Then he tossed away the ring. 1t had
been crumpled together like paper.
Decidedly, it would not be wise to have
those hands pressing at ones throat!
Leonardo (1452-1519) has come down
to us as the greatest genius among men.
He was q supremely great painter and
sculptor, an architect musician a
mechanician, an engineer, an anato-
mist, an inventor and natural philoS-
opher. But, above all, he was far ahead
of his times. He devised and built ir-
rigation systems, waterways, fortifica-
tions and buildings.
He well understood mathematics, as

Decorative paste-ons are so quickly
made that they tempt the homemaker
to work with them although she may
be too busy to spend much time on
anything that is mot absolutely essen
tial. There are a number of ways of
doing the work. The name is descrip-
tive, however, for paste is the very
foundation of the work. The word is
used in a broad way since glue is more
often used than paste of a -four and
water type. The glue is much more
adhesive, and it withstands the ravages
of wear far better also. If paper is the
medium used with the paste, the regu-
lation kind often called library paste
can be employed, but if the paste-ons
are OF textile, leather, string, cord, etc,
glue will be needed.
The simplest varieties of decorative
paste-ons consist of fancy papers or
colored pictures pasted onto boxes. The
sides can be of plain paper either
black or some color that goes particu-
larly we'll with the color scheme of the
picture used for the top of the box
cover. Paint the box with clear shellac
or with one that is toned to give the
antique effect. Such paste-ons are ex-
celent to use on cottage furniture and
accessory furnishings.
Rainbow paste-onS give a modern
istic effect. Cut pieces of many differ
ent colored papers in shapes that are
unlike and fit them together. A gen.
eral design should be worked out to in
sure the odd shapes meeting exactly
This design can be repeated over an en-
tire surface and if colors are dissimilar
repeats will be different in effect Only

Permanent Wave.
Dear Miss Leeos-I read your beauty
column every evening and have received
so much help from your advice on
various beauty problems Now I wonder
If you would help me to decide about
getting permanent wave? My hair Is
dark brown, very fine and quite thick.
When I was child. 1t curled natu-
rally, but now it is quite straight. except
when 1 wave II Enn water-waving
combs. 1t waves nicely with the combs,
but I always have to curl the ends with
an iron, and 1t Is causing the hair to
look split and endy. If had a perma-
nent wave, would the ends Of my haN
curl without any kind of curler? My
hair is very oily. and l have to wash
1t every week. Is this too often?
was told that permanent wave would
take some Of the oil out Of the hair.
Is this so? 1t is so much bother to
have to put up the hair in curriers' or
combs, especially when one is travelling
or visiting. Do you think a permanent
would be more convenient!-tfISS K. A.
Answer-While a permanent wave Is
great convenience, rememScT that 1t
does demand attention regularly If 1t
Is to be beautiful and always look we'll
groomed. After each shampoo the
waves need to be set with the fingers
and comb, and the ends will have to be
curled under. First, 1 would advisA
you to try and coax the natural wave
back again by giving the scalp special
aStringent and antiseptic treatments
Once a week is not too often to wash
excessively oily hair Then you could
have a finger wave put IN your hair at
regular intervals until your hair and
scalp are in healthier condition Have
your hairdresser give you few scalp
treatments and use an astringent scalp
tonic two or three times a week. Give
the hair and scalp sun b; IN. After
this, If your hair does not resume its
natural curliness or waviness, you may
have the permanent wave put in. dd
not like to see natural, wavy hair perA
manently waved. For straight, oily hair
and various other types of hair the perA
manent wave is the only solution, but
as the permanent wave is merely tl
make the hair an imitation of natural
wavy hair so that 1t can be easily han-
died and waved, there is no need foA
this natural type of hair to be pernas
nently waved. Write for my leaflet on
this subject. Inclosa self-addressed,

A delicious drink is made by
pouring a pint of water over q
raw apple cut in small pieces.
Let stand an hour, strain,
sweeten a little, add a stick of
cinnamon and chill.
When cooking spare ribs, first
boil them, remove the scum, and
when they are partially done
place in a baking pan and add
salt and pepper. Bake slowly and
do not brown them too much.
To remove road tar stains from
wash fabrics, scrape off all that
is loose, then rub over with salad
oil or melted lard and let stand
for "a hours. Wash in warm soap

The girls wore yellow linen hats
