And away he ran down the street. Harriet
followed until they came to th« park,
where she often used to play with her
friends. Obo turned in at the Rate, and led
the way to a particularly wild part where
there were few people. He stopped before
a high, rocky hill, and wh*>n she came up
Harriet found that there was a tittle path
leading in between two large rocks.
"This is the way," said Obo, scampering
up the path. In a moment they found that
they -were entering a cave, and. as they
went along, the path turned and grew nar
rower, just as if they were entering a huge
conch shell. After a while Harriet said:
"It's getting too Htm for me to go any
further. Obo."
"Then put your hand ahead of you and
open the door." answered the little dog.
Harriet stretched out her hand and felt
a door knob in her lingers. She turned the
knob, pushed open the door and stepped
out into a sunshiny place.
"Why. where am I?" she said. In bewil
derment.
Obo capered ahe.Tfl joyfully, calling:
Inside out »n<J outside In.
Hi^ can't tell where she has been.
"But I don't see how this place happens
to be here." said Harriet.
This is hrr<* anA hen* Ik there.
Tou can't tell me which is when*.
So sang oho. Seeing thai she cmild get
no satisfaction from him. Harriet began to
look around for herself. She saw some very
»emarkabl*» sights, the strangest of which
was a house which looked just as if it had
been turned inside out. The wall? were
papered on the outside and the furniture
stood without instead of within.
"Come and see the Queen and 1 ell tell
you about it," said Obo when she ques
tioned him.
Soon they reached a larger and more
ptately house, but it was built in the same
way. At th«- door stood a beautiful lady.
with long golden hair.
"Your majesty, my friend Harriet." said
Oho. "Thank goodness, the introduction
is over."
"Why. little . girl, how did you come
here?" asked the Queen, and when Harriet
told hpr. "Dear, dear,' she said. "I'm afraid
you can't get back. This country is like
one of those wire mousetrap?; you can get
in. but not out. You see." she, explained,
"it happened in this way. Once I lost a
beautiful sapphire ring, and the prince
who loved me said he would turn the
earth inside out in order to find it for me.
He had) studied a little magic, and in an
unlucky hour he really did turn it inside
out — and then h« couldn't get it back again.
At least, be turned inside out the part of
the world where my kingdom was, but, oh.
alack! he was left on the outside, and we
are unfortunately within.''
Harriet thought this a very sad state of
affair? indeed, and she considered the ques
tion for a long while. And as she thought
»he unconsciously began to spin her hoopie.
Now. Harriet never knew just how it was,
but spinning that boople undid all the
magic of th* thoughtless prince. The whole
landscape began to melt away in a fog.
and the next thing she knew she was
standing Just outside the park. And a lady
with beautiful gold hair. Just like the
Queen's, smiled at her as she hurried
down the Ptreet, and at her side was a
very handsome young man. And a little
Mack dog went scampering away into the
distance.

somehow suggest poverty, neglect of one's
person— those stray wisps that would have
discounted the charms of Helen of Troy!
The beautiful can afford to wait till a
more convenient season for advice, and to
those ■•■'.:•> axe mourning the loss of beauty
the message of the Budget is the same as
to those who never had, or tlttnk they never
had. this cut of the >;...;-;. Do not despair.
Half your vanished beauty has but left
you for want of cherishing. You have al
lowed the thought of age to wither you.
Youth is eternal It i.- meant, of course,
that maturity should, for example, attire
it.-.!f as may the maiden standing with re
luctant feet, but neither need maturity say
with the witty Irish woman "After we ara
forty Society only asks of us that we be
covered." If that be true, give society
more lhan it asks.
The first effort to recall beauty is to re
call the youthful spirit, which look* for
ward, and not back, which hopes and do.-s
not regret, which aspires and does not
pause. You may remember In Mrs.

this would do away with one of the greatf-st ,

Tin and ¥£)ishbone Ft/rniture
When mother was a little girl and when
father was a little boy times must have
been quite different from what they are to
d;iy. That was (Wore there were so many
curtOUS and wonderful mechanical toys for
children, and long before there were hair,
so many nice "boughten" things to play
with as there are to-day. Maybe that was
the reason why father and mother learned
how to make so many lovrly homemade
toys with which they managed to have no
end of fun.
Father had never heard of a toy automo
bile when lie was a hoy, and prohably ne

railroad, but he could make kites— just
simple cross kites— t Hat would tly 'way,
'way up. He knew just how many Inches
to make the upright and how many inches
to make the cross bar. and how many
raps to knot into the tail. And probably
fathers son couldn't make a kite that
would Ro at all.
Mother didn't have a brass hedstpad for
her dolls and had never seen a toy teddy
bear. But she did have a lovely tree of

Dear Editor: Thank you very much for
the check of $1 you sent me for writing the
story entitled, "He Needs Money." I have
taken great pleasure in doing the puzzles
to-day. Hoping this will not be the last
that one always Rets things one cannot use
without doing violence to one's epsthetio
Bfnses. If, however. Jane, who "adores vio
lets." be presented with a waste paper
basket, covered with violet strewn crepe
pai>er. tied with frisky little lavender hows,
ehe will be both surprised and delighted.
And when Sally remarks that she Is trying
to flt up a Japanese corner In the den, if
the would-be giver whips out her notebook
and nets down that remark for future ref
erence ehe will be enabled to provide
Sally's den with an appropriate Oriental
pocket for holding punk sticks, such as Is
shown in the Illustrations.
Having selected her rolls of paper as the
needa of her friends require, she can set to
work, confident that for MMS h.'r <'hristmaa
giving will be "safe and nane."
For a writing pad for the desk, triangles
of stiff paper should be stretched across
th« corners of a large piece of cardboard
and these covered with crepe paper, either

' nlture. Grandmother had made pin chairs
and lounges when she was a little girl.
! and grandmother In turn showed mother
how to make them. If by chance mother
has forgotten to tell her little girls and
boys about it they may learn from the
pictures in to-day's Tribune.
To rna^ke pin furniture you will 1 need a
box of black headed pins, or of pins with
round heads of any color. You will also
need a cork stopper or two of good size
and some scraps of velvet or other heavy
cloth. '■
Suppose you want to make a round chair,
covered with red velvet. Take the cork
and slice off. evenly, a piece about a quarter
of an inch thick. This is for the seat. Now
cover this neatly with the velvet, or bro
cade. Then stick into the under side, heads
downward, four pins. These are. the four
legs.
Next arrange the pins for the back
around the upper edge of the cork. as
shown In the illustration. Now you can
begin doing the fancy winding, which
makes the chair so attractive. Take some
twist, or silk thread of the same shade- as
the velvet which is on the seat, and tie one
end firmly to one of the back pins. Twist
the silk thread, once over each pin, and
draw it firmly out, until you have put a
twist around each pin. Then repeat this,
back and forth, until your chair looks
right.
To make a couch, us" the IHtIP box the
r'ns come in for the seat and cover this
with cloth.
One of the cutest pieces of toy furniture
that can be made is the "wishbon* chair."
If you have never .^een one— and probably
you never have, because the making of
wishbone furniture is almost a lost art
ask your mother or the cook to save for
you the wishbone from the next goose that
is cooked at your house, because the shape
of the goose wishbone is best for this chair.
As you may see from th" picture, the bone
makes :i lovely curved back to the tiny
chair, and also mnkos the two front leers.
The scat if a small, round piece of cork,
covered with some upholstery goods. The
bone is supported by two pin - at the back
run through the cork seat, one from the
top. the other from the bottom, this last
forming the third les of the tiny armchair.

THE COUNTRY FAIR-
Dear Little Men and Little Worn*"; *
am going to write you a story »bout our
church lawn party called The Country
Fair.- which was held on our new church
grounds. The grounds were covered with
tents and tables, all decorated very pret
tily My class had the lemonade and punch
table. The fortune teller's tent was next to
ours. It had two portieres on each side
and a table with flowers on it and chairs
all around. _
We also had automobile rides for 10. ->
and 50 cents. There was a country store,
too. where they sold all kinds of vegetables.
cakes, pies, canned fruits, watermelons
and citrons. There was another booth
where they had a Jack Homer pie and sold
popcorn for a penny a scoop. Then there
was a fishpond, also a slide, for which you
paid a penny a slide. The young ladies'
class, called the Alpha Class, had a candy
booth; on the other side of the table they
sold apron?. In the corner of the same
stand my father sold ice cream cones.
In the afternoon they had a baby parade,
which was very nice. The carriage that
won first prize was a twins* carriage. It
was ail decorated with goldenrod. making
it look like one mass of yellow moving
around. This lawn party was held two
days and we made about $500, which Is tc»
go toward building our new church.

A HALLOWEEN PARTY.
Dear Little Men and Little Women: T
wouki like to tell you about a Halloween
party I had with a friend last year. It
happened to be on a Saturday. We bought
candy, cookies, nuts, cake and had apples,
prunes, bread and butter and tea. At
school we used up our spare time making
paintings of pumpkins to trim up the table
with.
We set our table and trimmed It and got
our big dolls and put them In the high
chairs and set them at the tabte with us.
We laughed and talked awhile and had
ancfl a good time. Afterward we got a
dish of water and put it on the chair and
ducked for apples. We both got one. Then
we put the big dish on the floor and put
a chair with the back facing to it. We
took turns to knee! on the chair with our
bar-k to the dish and a fork in our hand.
We threw it over our left shoulders, and if
we hit the apple and stuck the fork in It
we got It.
I played the piano and we sang and
played games till it was I o, lock. Th*n
we got a paper bag and filled it up with
some of the stuff we had and I got our

WHERE IS SPOT?
Dear Little Men and Little Women:
Would you like to hear about my dog I
had this summer? He was a -whit© fox
terrier with a black spot on his back. I
named him Spot, which I thought was
a proper name for him. My brother built
a small house for him. which was kept
in the yard, and I tried to make it very
comfortable by putting blankets in It.
but the little rascal continually pulled th»
blankets all over the yard. At vast I
tried to stop this, so I let him in the house,
thinking he would behave himself better,
but he was worse than ever. One day we
had visitors, and while we were talking
Spot was having a great time on my bett
destroying the feathers of their hats. 1
am very sorry to tell you that one day
coming home from school I found my poor
Spot gone. I have never found nor seen
him since, so, dear readers, if you by
chance should see him. please let me know.
His license number is 753. Your constant
reader.

HALF WAY 'ROUND THE WORLD.
Dear Little Men and Little Women: I
was bom In Australia and when I was
eight years old we came to America. Whil*
on the way we stopped at Ceylon for a
whole day. The little colored boys used to
swim out on logs and beg for money, and
when the pasy?ngera would throw coins
Into tho water they would dive down after
them and would always manage to find
them. They would then put them Into a
hole In the logs. We were told that they
made their living that way.
We went ashore, too. and hired a car
riage for a drive about the place. You
have to pay for everything. They go
around selling little wild flower?. The only
thing we bought was me fruit, because
we did not dare to eat anything else. After
we went back to the boat we watched the
little fellows dive after the coins. They
were climbing up the sides of the steamer,
which were very steep. One little fellow
right next to us climbed up very slowly,
and when he got up to the top he snatched
my father's travelling cap and dived right
down in the water with the cap. Ycuira
