house. nor did they come out again that
night.
So Jimmy lived by himself while the
little Skunks grew. Now and then ne
took long trips, but in the end he al
ways returned to the neighborhood OF
gone up in the Old Pasture for nearly
two weeks. 1t was on his return from
this trip that he got one of the great
/ surprises of his life. 1t was moonlight
and Jimmy was near home when he
saw Mrs. Jimmy come out from behind
a bush and at her heels one Of the
children. Then came another and an
other until he had counted five.
She has the whole family with her"
thought Jimmy. My. how those
youngsters have grown! Hellol What's
this?"
This was another young Skunk. who
appeared to be as much a part Of the
family as any OF the Others Then an
other appeared and another. 1t was
then that Jimmy began to rub his eyes.
What did it mean? He was sure that
he had only five children and here
were ten! He counted them over again
to make sure.
Mrs. Jimmy saw him. and telling the
children to remain where they were
she came over to him. Well" said
she, What do you think of the
family?"
where did you get them?" gasped
Jimmy. Il mean the last five," he
added hastily Have you adopted an
other family? I should think it was
enough to look after your own chill
dren."
1T is" replied Mrs. Jimmy. They
are all ours. Isn't it a wonderful fam
lly? aren't you proud of them?"

THERE were five little skunks in
Jimmy Skunk's home. Jimmy
knew 1t because he had seen
them out on the doorstep. 1t
was Jimmys home, yet 1t
wasn't his home. 1t had been his home,
but lust before the arrival of those
babies Mrs Jimmy had driven him out
of Il and as yet she hadn't allowed him
to return. So he had never been inside
to see those babies although they were
his own. This may seem strange to
you but it didn't seem so very strange
to Jimmy. He was used to it.
He didn't like the arrangement and
at first he protested. He couldn't un-
derstand why he was driven out. But
when he discovered that Mrs. Jimmy
had a family to look after and worry
about he began to understand that
there wasn't room for him and that.
mother-liixe, Mrs. Jimmy was afraid
that he might hurt them. So for a
while he must live by himself. 1t al
ways had been so in his family. so it
didn't seem particularly strange to
Jimmy.
Jimmy happened to be watching the
doorway of his house when for the
peeped out for a glimpse of the Great
World. FIRST there had been one. then
two, and finally five. Jimmy had
waited for a while before showing him
self, but as no more had appeared he
decided that the whole family was in
sight and had started to go over and
make their acquaintance. But the in
slant he had shown himself they had
retreated in fright down inside the
house. Just then Mrs. Jimmy had
her feet behind him and driven
him away.
Every evening after that Jimmy
would hide where he could watch the
doorway of his home, and every eve
ming the children would come out to
play on the doorstep. Sometimes there
would be two and sometimes three or
four. Once or twice he counted five.
But they were all the time running in
and out so that it was difficult to keep

New Summer Evening Dress
BY MARY MARSHALL.

1882 are really very charming and as
nearly free from exaggerations that are
likely to appear absurd as any clothes
can be.
Today's sketch shows a dress of the
sort we have in mind. The waistline
is defined but not tightly drawn, and
placed at normal line" The sleeves
are only slightly pulled, the neckline
is simple but becoming, and the skirt
flares gracefully from the hips down
without exaggeration.
If you are inclined to make new
Summer evening dress, why not carry
out this idea of skirt fullneSs, using
organdie or net or any other sheer
cotton or silk material? You will need
three flounces of the material and
three bias bands. The top band is
just large enough to encircle the lower
line Of the hips easily. The center band
is trifle larger and the lowest band
triflle larger than the second The
three flounces are similarly graded.
The first two are gathered at both
edges and stitched down with the bends
while the lowest flounce is gathered
and stitched at the top only, while the
lower edge is finished with a very mar
row hem or with machine picoting.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

If they did, laws would soon be passed
recurring satisfactory evidence OF ex-
perience in such lines before man or
woman might receive a license to invest
capital in them.
But this talk Is to be about an indi-
vidual and not social problem These
eating house failures in our neighbor-
hood were tragic personal affairs. In
two of the cases at least, large share
of family's resources was spent on new
fixtures and in redecorating-and al
most totally lost when the enterprise
was abandoned.
To the outsider, all of these failures
have been due to a lack of experience
IL some essential part of the business,
because for many years previous, a
profitable enterprise had been operated
On the same premises. One failure may
have been due to poor buying. another
to inferior cookery, bad proportiontng
of financial resources, miS1udglng OF
the local demand, etc. All of which
suggests that other personal qualifica-
tions are required for successfully oper-
ating a business than simple, unadult-
Grated ambition.
Many women, especially, are dismayed
by the general requirement of employers
ence". How is one to get the expert
ence," they moan, without a chance
to demonstrated" But the people who
pay salaries realize that workers with
out experience are deadweight to a
business, If not worse. To put them in
responsible petitions, with good pay, is
to court disaster. That's why, Of course,
most of us have to start at the bottom
and work up, even If our start is late in
life The financial safety of a going
concern requires experienced workers in
all of its positions of responsibility.
How much more then is it necessary
that a person should require experience
of him-or herself-before attempting
to launch and manage an entirely new
business?
People often ask: Should I work for
a salary or have my own business?"
And ultimately the answer should be:
do whichever gives you the largest
satisfaction in life-the safety Of your
dependents considered"
But working for some one else is, in
our day, almost the only satisfactory
method Of learning most lines of busi-
ness. Don't, therefore, let your ambition
run away with your judgement, AMI,
Get experience first!"

II ly settled as it is today. Where
4 \ we now see large cities there
were villages then People we're
able to get along fairly well by calling
one another John or Arthur or VIII
liam.
AS time went on villages grew into
cities, and there came to be much
trouble about names. Five or 10
Johns" might live in the same dis
trict. If a person asked to see John
the wrong man might answer his call
To make their meaning clear, people
began to use extra words which told
something about man. Sometimes his
trade was described, sometimes the
color of his hair or skin, sometimes the
part of town in which he lived.
Instead of saying I want to see Ed
ward" a person might say i want to
see Edward the Tinker" or Edward
the Baker"
Great numbers Of family names grew
from these trades. How many names
can you think of which must have
started in that way?
Yes, Smith is one of them. 1t is
the most common English name. In
olden days people spoke of William the
Smith and Harold the Smith. In
time the names we're just William
Smith and Harold Smith. Arrowsmith
and Goldsmith are names which came
from smiths who worked in special
fields.
Miller is another trade name which
turned into a family name.
Taylor, Weaver, Shepherd and Car
penter may be traced back to persons
who made clothes, wove cloth, tended
sheep or worked with wood.

Here's the frock for going places and
doing things this Summerl
There's carefree air about the little
cape-with its tucked-in ends under
the belt. There's a subtle fiattery in
its softly clinging hnes-that does de-
lightful things to your figure. And
it has its practical points, too--for you
can wear it formally without the cape
or informally with the cape.

or printed fabrics, in pale pastels or

Right and Wrong.

~ My children hold that right
and wrong are two distinct
and clearly marked posts on
~ the road to salvation. With
each year spent on the way
one learns of shades of right and de-
grees of wrong. Toward the end OF
the journey the once shining marks
have been wiped out and in their stead
lies a field of action all set about with
sparks of light and dots of shadow, and
one steps now this side. now that in an
endeavor to keep the light on his side.
Strangely enough, it flickers so that
what seemed so shadowed an instant
before Is appearing in the light of truth.
Who shall sit at the right hand of
truth?
1t is right that children be decided
about right and wrong. For them let
there be no discussion about it. When
they sit in Judgment upon one of their
mates who has broken the accepted
code, let it be their verdict that stands
right is right and wrong is wrong. It
will be no harm, for theirs Is king
dom of their peers-all stand equal be-
fore the bar Of childhood.
With adolescence the strict law begins
to take up exceptions. Black is no long
er all black, white is no longer just
white. There are shades. 1t is not as
bad to whisper in class as it is to cheat,
though both are violations of the law
Next the critical attitude is apparent.
No longer are facts and people and
events accepted without scrutiny. No
longer is authority unquestioned. Why?
What for? Who said so? BY what
right? And now the old landmarks are
swept aside and the adventuring child
dares to establish a new idea and new
route to the Celestial City
Now the shades of truth and untruth
are so merged that it requires all his
powers of intellect, all his background
of childhood's faith, to hold by one and
reject the other. And yet, truth prevails
Not the right-wrong. not the black
white of childhood, but the great, wide,
wonderful infinite truth that is all OF
life and all of us. Too big for youth?
True. Too big for age is also true But
the search and the adventure is life for
both.
Little children learn the rudiments of
right living in the hard aid fast COM
mandments. They learn them with
rigid inflexibility. To them they cling.
must cling. throughout their lives. But
they are the rudiments of living, the
elementary facts, the fundamentals of
morality. With maturity comes the
wide fields, the uncharted fields. What
then is to guide the explorer?
If he was firmly grounded in the
fundamentals of morality he is safe so

My Neighbor Says:

Broon1s and all other sweeping
brushes should be hung up when
not in. use. If they are left
standing on the bristles, these
get bent and will not do their
work properly.
When making salads, be sure
that all the ingredients have
been thoroughly chilled.
Apple, potato and most other
stains may be removed from the
hands by rubbing them with oat-
meal moistened with lemon
juice or vinegar. Never use
soap before removing the stain,
or it viii be more difficult to
remove.
A delicious dessert may be very
quickly prepared for the unex-
pected guest by adding any pre-
served fruit to sponge cake
which has been cut in serving
slices, and topped with whipped
cream.

Pine River Hall
Shows Good Unity

The Pine River Community Club
has recently completed its new log
club house and the annual meeting Of
the club together with a fine program
was held in it last Thursday evening.
The club house, which is of leg con-
struction, formed a very pleasing and
homelike appearance for the annual
meeting, being artistically decorated
with evergreens, autumn leaves, and
cut flowers. 1t has very fine open
fireplace built of rock and sandstone
in the west end of the building and a
spacious stage in the east end. A con-
venient kitchen, cloak room and office
are also provided for in it's arrange
ment. The building was almost en-
tirely erected by donations of labor,
material and cash by the members
of the club and friends and is an out
standing example of the cooperative
and progressive spirit of that enter
prising community west of Finlayson.
The annual meeting was the first
meeting held in the new house and
was attended by approximately 200
people. Possibly in appreciation Of
what they had done the entire per-
sonnet of the board of directors were
reelected and are as follows: Pres
ident, John c. Randall; vice-president,
George Heino; seer etary, Frank Hobbs;
and treasurer, Joseph KOening.

BACK FROM THREE
MONTHS IN EUROPE

FIR. L. Buechler of the Sacred Heart
Catholic church at Markville, re-
turned last Thursday from three
months vacation, spent mostly in Ger
many where he visited a sister who
has been i'll for 80 years with asthma.
Through careful dieting, doing without
meat, and very regular living the sister
has pulled through all those 30 years
of sickness, during which time she
has been able to do some, if not most
of her own work, and is now 'improv-
ing in health though at an advanced
age.
During FIR. Buechler's absence the
parish was served by the Catholic
priest at Webster, Wis. The return
trip from Germany was made on the
liner, Bremen. Passengers and crew
combined to make a population of
over 5000 on the ship, and the Mark
vile pastor who has travelled widely
enjoyed this latest European trip.
He is the only Catholic priest in
America who was born and raised in
Denmark. We was also educated in
that country where the Lutheran
church predominates.
