of the occasion nurse Nellie had
arrayed him In his very white flan

standing outside of the dining-room
door, with Dorothy behind him, lis
tening to strange voices.
"What they come for?” he asked
crossly. “Didn’t they know it was
my birthday? If it’s Aunt Mary
I'll go down to the brook and get
mud all over my white suit, and
I'll get my slippers wet, too. That's
what I’ll do. What are you laugh

Scheme for Early Season Gown
Keilfern has sent out a stunning
walking gown made of the new taf
feta, which Is as soft as chiffon.
The skirt Is narrow about the bot
tom and scalloped and bound with a
bias piece of the taffeta. It Is draped
up In the buck to form a bustle, and
the <-ffect Is farther carried out by
the slight looping up of the tunic,
which Is made oif perfectly straight
breadths of the silk with two skein
ruffles of the sea Hoped silk. A loose !
kimono bodice is “flattened” in the
back by a stitched panel, which I
falls a little below the waist.
The sleeves are largo and full, with
ruffles of the scalloped silk, with I
undersleeves of net, and the neck lias
the low round cut at the back that
was the fashion in Queen Victoria’s
time.
Some persona have copper stencil

LIVING WAGE IS DEFINED
BY AN AUSTRALIAN JUDGE
A definition of the living minimum
wage in Australia has just been em
bodied in a decree delivered by Jus
tice Heydon, pres dent of the indus
trial Arbitration Court of New South
Wales, who, after an exhausting in
quiry into the cost of living in Syd
ney, .specifies that the lowest class of
unskilled labor must receive $12 a
week. This sum is based on the ex
istence and needs of a family of two
parents and two dependent childron.
He found that the minimum rate for
rent in Sydney was $3 a week, mis
cellaneous expenses, including fuel,
light, clothing and insurance was
$3.50, while the rema'nder of the $12
was consumed in food.
In his decision the judge was guid
ed largely by the now famous de
cision of Justice Higgins, who in the
Harvester case decided that $10.50
weekly was a "fair and reasonable"
standurd to meet the normal needs
of the average employe, regarded as
a human being living In a civilized
country.
In the Broken Hill case, decided
two years later. Justice Higgins
stated the following doctrine: “I can
not conceive of any such industrial
dispute as this being settled effective
ly which fails to secure to the laborer
enough wherewith to renew his
strength and to maintain his home
from day to day. He will dispute, he
must dispute, until he gets this mini
mum, even as a man immersed will
never rest until he gets his head
above water. * * * If a man can
not maintain his enterprise without
cutting down the wages which are
proper to he paid to his employes—
at all events the wages essential for
their living—it would be better that |
he should abandon the enterprise."
nrooK, less maybe you got arownea,
she added thoughtfully. “Why don’t
you open the door and see who 'tls,
'stead of standing and guessing,
and getting cross?"
Just then there came a sound of
giggling and a quick rush of feet.
Davie brightened. “It isn’t Aunt
Mary, 'cause she never laughs, so
here goes the door! One, two,
thr-ree-ee!" He threw It back tri
umphantly, and then stood very
still, his mouth wide open and his
eyes quite ready to pop from his
head. For there were Mary Eliza
beth and Billy Brown, and all of
the Blake children, dressed in their
Sunday best and sitting around a
table that seemed to contain ail of
the things Davie liked, beside being
decorated with pink roses and hav
ing a marvelous cake glowing with
seven pink candles In the centre.
“Surprt-ise, surprl-ise,” chanted
the children, clapping their hands
gleefully.
Davie stood in the doorway like
a graven image.
"He thought it was Aunt Mary,
and wouldn't open the door," said
Dorothy to her mother, "and now
he can’t even speak, he’s so sur
prised."
"Hurray! It's your birthday,”
shouted Billy Brown, Jumping from
his seat and running over to where
Davie stood. "I brought you a
present. We all did. Aren’t you
glad? Mine's a book, but Mary
’Blzabeth said she bet you’d never
read it, 'cause you don’t like to.”
"Oh, Billy!" cried Mary Elizabeth,
her voice full of reproach; "aren’t
you mean!”
“Well, you did say It," declared
Billy. "I've got a new suit, too,
Davie, ’most like yours.” And he
began to strut about Importantly,
as If the party was in honor of his
birthday, not Davie’s.
Davie was slowly recovering from
his surprise. He looked at the table
admiringly, and then walked over
to mother Dear and tucked his hand
in hers.
“It’s—It’s nice to be seven,” he
confided. “Did they all bring
something?”
Mother Dear smiled.
"You must not think too much of
your gifts," she said, softly. “Tell
the children you’re glad tney came,
and when you look at their gifts be
sure to thank them nicely."
“I'm glad you're all here, ’cause
It's my birthday and I'm seven,”
said Davie obediently, "and thank
you fur the presents. Billy Brown
is only six,” he added, as If that
fact were of vital importance; “he’s
only a baby."
Billy Brown bristled. He and
Davio were the best of friends, but.
few days went by that did not find
them battling over something or
other.
“Haby! I am not a baby,” cried
Billy Brown. “You better look out,
Davie Dear, oven if It is your birth
day."
"Children,” cut in Mother Dear
quickly, “take your places at the
table.” And then you may be sure
there was a scramble. All rfmall
folks frankly admit that they like
parties because of the lee cream
and the cake and the crackers that
you pull with a snap and find red
and blue tissue paper hats inside.
Davie's guests began to have a
good time right away. They pulled
their crackers and laughed at each
other as the funny caps were put
on brown heads and black heads
and golden heads. Xorah, the cook,
helped them to all sorts of good
things, chuckling to herself as she
watched them eat.
"Sure, I'd like to be one o’ thim,”
she whispered to Mother Dear;
“wouldn’t you?”
"Indeed I would,” said Mother
Dear, with a smile, as she watched
nno little boy put three candles In
his mouth at one time anil then try
to chew them all and talk to every
body at the same time. “Look at
that child! Do you think he’ll be
HI?”
“Indado he won’t,” said Norah,
"but Just to make sure I’ll move
the candy dish away. All young
stcrs’d eat too many sweets if you'd
let 'em.”
After which the party proceeded
smoothly on its way. Each little
girl was given a long-stemmed pink
rose and each l'ttle boy received a
funny little Jumping monkey on a
stick.
When the last bit of candy had
disappeared and all of the ice
cream W’as gone Dorothy cried:
"Now let’s go out on the grass
and play games!”

Washing an Embroidered Voile
Dress
Dear Mias Doon:
I have a white embroidered voile
dress which I wish to clean at
home, and would appreciatae it if
you would tell me how to do so,
through your valuable column.
Thanking you in advance,
DAILY READER. ,
Clean the gown with gasoline.
Put it in a pail of the fluid and
let it soak for about fifteen min
utes, occasionally sousing up and
down. Rub the badly soiied places
gently between the palms of the
hands, rinse In clean gasoline and
hang In the air to dry.
Do not try to wring or squeeze
out the gasoline. It will evaporate
quickly.
Caution—Do not use gasoline in a
warm room, or where there is a
fire, or even a llirhted gas Jet. It Is
highly inflammable.
White voile 1h a washable mate
rial, but it would bo better to use
gasoline on your gown, particularly
If the embroidery Is silk.
“Gunga Din”
Dear Margery Doon:
I will appreciate the favor if you
will publish the poem, "Gunga
Din.” Thanking you in advance,
ANXIOUS.
With pleasure.
GUNOA DIN.
You may talk o' gin and beer
When you're quartered safe out 'ere.
An' you're sent to penny-fights an’
Aldershot it;
But when it comes to slaughter
You will do your work on water,
An’ you’ll lick the bloomin’ boots
of 'im that’s got it.
Now in Injla’s sunny clime,
Where I used to spend my time
A-servin’ of er Majesty the Queen,
Of all l.iein blackfaced crew
The finest man I knew
Was our regimental bhisti, Gunga
Din.
He was "Din! Din! Din!
You limping lump o’ brick-dust,
Gunga Din!
Hi! slippery hitherao!
Water! get It! Panee lao!
You squidgy-nosed old idol, Gunga
Din.”
The uniform ’e wore
Was nothin’ much before,
An’ rather less than 'arf o’ that
be’ind,
For a piece o’ twisty rag
An’ a goatskin water-bag
Was all the field equipment 'e could
find.
When the sweatin’ troop-train lay
In a sidin’ through the day,
Where the 'eat would make your
bloomin’ eyebrows crawl,
We shouted, “Harry By!”
Till our throats were bricky-dry,
Then we wopped ’im 'gause 'e
couldn't serve us all.
It was “Din! Din! Din!
You ’eathen, where the iniHChief 'ave
you been?
You put some Juldee in it
Or I’ll marrow you this minute
If you don't full up my helmet,
Gunga Din!"
’E would dot an’ carry one
'Till the longest duy was done;
An 'e didn’t seem to know the use
’o fear.
If we charged or broke or cut,
You could bet your bloomin' nut
'E'd he waitin’ fifty paces right
flank rear.
With ’is mussick on ’is back,
’E would skip with our attack,
An’ watch us till the bugles made
"Retire,”
An’ for all 'is dirty 'ide
’E was white, clear white, inside
When 'e went to tend the wounded
under fire!
It was “Din! Din! Din!”
With the bullets kickin’ dust-spots
on th,e green.
When the cartridges ran out,
You could hear the front-tiles shout,
‘ Hi! ammunition-mules an' Gunga
Din!”
I shan’t forgit the night
When I dropped be’ind the fight
With a bullet where my belt-plate
should ’a been.
I was chockin’ mad with thirst,
An’ the man that spied me first
Was our good old grinnin’, gruntin’
Gunga Din
'E lifted up my ’ead,
An’ he plugged me where I bled,
An’ 'e guv me arft-a-pint o' water
green;

| Taking Dolly’s Photograph ;
Little Vera received a beautiful doll
for her birthday. Of course, Dolly, as
Vera named her, was not the only toy
Vera had, but she loved Dolly best of
all her toys.
It was a fine June day when Vera
and her cousin Oswyeth, with their
dolls, started for a walk, and finally
reached a lovely field, so full of dais
ies and buttercups that Vera cried
out: "Oh, Oswyeth, let’s gather some
flowers." Oswyeth said she would like
to very much, so the two little girls
put their dolls on the ground and
started to gather the lovely flowers.
An hour passed and Vera and Os
wyeth were still busy with the flow
ers, when Nelden their schoolmate,
joined them. He had a camera with
him, and both of the girls wanted
their pictures taken. Vera had a
large bunch of daisies in her hand and
Oswyeth had the buttercups, and
standing next to one another in the
Held Nelden took the picture.
It was time to go home, ns Vera had
to go to New York with her mother,
and all of a sudden Vera thought of
her Dolly.
“Oh, Nelden, won't you take Dolly’s
picture?” she asked. "I would love to
have one,” Nelden, who was a very
good boy, and who loved to please
Vera, took Dolly’s picture, and re
ceived many hugs In return.
The three made their way toward
home, when Nelden told them it was
5 o’clock. Vera started on a run, and
slipped with Dolly, who fell on the
sidewalk. Nelden helped Vera to get
up, but when Vera went to pick Dolly
up, she gave a cry of dismay.
Poor Dolly was broken, and with a
heavy heart Vera reached home and
told her mother.
My dear, If you would have done as
mother told you to do It never would
have happened, but as you tried to
hurry the last minute it was your
own fault.
Three days later Nelden gave Vera
a picture of Dolly. She was so happy
that she gave Nelden three kisses and
told him that she could always re
member Dolly.

Forgive and Forget
BY DANIEL B. MoKENNBY
(Continued from yesterday.)
In the alienee that followed could
be heard a distant crackling like that
made by the snapping and breaking
of dry twigs. Then the red light
flared up again, no longer fitful, but
steady, lurid, growing brighter and
redder each moment.
"Tommy," cried Jot Hayhourst, In
tones of awe, “the woods are on fire.
We must warn the neighbors.”
CHAPTER VIII.
A Hurricane of Fire.
“Warn the neighbors!’’
Tommy's first thought was of the
Deans. The other Inhabitants of
Harpswell could look out for them
selves. Their houses and barns were
situated In open places, with flells
surrounding them, and could easily
be protected from the flames. But
the Deans’ bungalow was In the very
heart of the pine woods and. If the
tire should happen to spread In that
direction, was certain to be destroyed.
And Lucy! For the first time
Tommy realized how dear she had
become to him and he resolved to
hasten to her rescue without an In
stant's delay.
"Jot!” he cried, excitedly, "I’ll
leave you to look after the safety of
the others. I am going to warn the
Deans."
And with that he plunged into the
forest.
He had not proceeded far when he
was joined by his dog, Watch, who,
when his young master d.d not ap
pear at the Dempster farm at his cus
tomary hour, had gone forth to meet
him. The dog leaped and frisked
around him, pulling at his coat, to
Induce him to return home.
"No, Watch," protested Tommy. “I
have a duty to perform—perhars lives
to save- and you must help me."
Watch seemed to understand, and
together they hurried on. As the
crow files It was about two miles to
the bungalotv; but they were obliged
to make a detour to avoid the fire. The
wind wae blowing toward them and
the smoke was suffocating. It struck
against their faces In blinding clouds.
Then suddenly It lifted as the wind
veered and Tommy could see what
appeared to bo a fiery furnace seeth
ing in the middle of the forest.
And now a rabbit darted by—then
another—then a fox—then a ground
hog. At first they came singly or in
pairs; then in droves, filling the woods
with sobs and cries of terror. Fear
had brought into evidence the vast
number of wild creatures that Inhabit
the forest and sire never seen by man.
Meanwhile the conflagration was
spreading. The roaring of the flames
was terrific. Tongues of fire leaped
from tree to tree with Inconceivable
rapidity, darting along the branches,
enveP ,itng the trunks and rushing
skyward in a shower of sparks. It
seemed as If a hurricane of fire had
descended from the heavens. The
heat was unbearable. Time after
time Tommy was compelled to beat a
hasty retreat before the gusts of hot
air.
At times sparks would bo borne by
these gusts In the boy's d:rectron, set
ting the dry pine needles ablaze wher
ever they fell. Then he would have
to fight for his very life to stamp
them out before the flames could
spread. Watch assisted In this work
gallantly, snatching the fiery parti
cles In bin Jaws, tossing them aloft
and treading them out with his paws
when they fell again to earth. More
than one new conflagration was pre
vented In this manner.
Tommy remembered that. In the
eastern part of the burned district,
lumbermen had worked for several
years felling trees. If there remained
the slightest chance of passing beyond
the zone of fire It would be by way of
this clearing; so, calling upon his dog
to follow, the boy hastened toward it.
"If the wind doesn’t change," he
thought, "I may reach my friends In
time. It Is blowing away from the
bungalow now and no doubt will con
tinue in that direction."
(To be continued.)
I
This Is a little story about suffrage.
I am a little suffragette. I think
women should vote, for the simple
reason that some women have as
much ability to vote as a man. I do
not say that they aro all capable of
casting a vote better than a man.
but some really would If given the
chance.
If we get our votes, whleh we
surely will, we will do no harm to the
"land of the free and the home of
the brave,” but will abolish a great
many things which are very un
reasonable; for Instance, we would
abolish child labor, the thing that
makes childhood miserable. That
word childhood means a lot. We can
not have childhood every day of our
lives. It comes only once, those
childhood days. The laborers, the
children who have no childhood, but
the machines in the factories, to work
nt. Do you know why children are
employed in factories? I will tell
you. Because they do not have to
pay ns much wages to them, so they
employ the young, and the fathers
and mothers have no work, and con
sequently have to depend on their
children. If those children were In
school studying that would be the
place for them, and their fathers in
the factories to earn a living for his
family and raise happy and healthy
children. Dive in light rooms, not In
miserable hovels for a home. That Is
no home, but is called so. A home is
where sunshine comes in, where na
ture gives Its splendid light; that’s
a home. Now the only way to stop
this is to keep fighting for the votes.
These very people that have their
children work In factories are inno
cently harming their families by
fighting suffrage.
