I have an idea that the little bride
that requested it is getting anxious.
Please send it, somebody. And re

glace strawberries, too.
Here are some easy recipes that
bring good results:

Housework and Beauty
There is nothing like housework for
physical culture. In the various ac
tions performed by the different sets
of muscles during the large numher
of movements incidental to house
work we have an admirable system of
gymnastics peculiarly adapted to the
needs of women. A certain amount
of exercise which arouses and Inter
ests the mental faculties, while oc
cupying the activities of the bodily
organs, is necessary to health, and
housework undoubtedly complies with
both of these conditions.
Summer Predictions
Lace will be the fabric chosen for
the fashionable gowns as soon as
June comes in. The long tunic will
give way to the single skirt. The
bodice will become narrower. Gowns
will fasten up the front. Darts will
appear and seams will he strongly
marked in the back of blouses. The
"sloppy” style will disappear. Hats
will have bandeaux again. The hair
will be lifted from the face entirely.
The ears will show. Skirts will be
shorter and white stockings will come
into vogue.
Nosey Neighbors.
"Now, don't talk too much when
you go to call on our neighbors. You
may answer questions, of course."
“That is all I ever do," said the
child. "And they ask a great many
questions. Last time they asked how
much salary papa got and if he ever
quarreled with you."—Kansas City
Journal.

Did You Know?
That a woman is State senator in
Colorado?
That women are members of the
Legislature in Wyoming, Washington
and Colorado?
That women are mayors of towns in
Oregon, Wyoming, Kansas and Illi
nois?
That thirteen women are serving as
city treasurers, two as county treas
urers and one as city comptroller?
That a woman is assistant judge in
the Denver Juvenile Court, a deputy
probate judge in Kansas and justice
of the peace in Illinois, Missouri and
Wyoming?
That in various States, women are
serving »e aldermen, sheriff and as
judges and clerks of election?
it may be noted that nothing but
black hats and toques are bo be seen
at present. Indeed, fashionably
dressed women have almost the ap
pearance of being in uniform owing to
this unanimous choice of black for
the color of their hate.
Shiny black straws, trimmed with
ribbons, aigrettes, roses and shiny
leaves, in black, are particularly
smart.
This vogue will, like so many
others, have but a short existence,
and the first taste of summer weather
will probably cause gayer colors to bo
worn.

| brow% "I killed most a hundred, I
guess." And he gave the imag
inary scalps at his belt a triumph
ant pat. "How many did you kill,
Davie—I mean chief?”
Chief Davie-Not-Afraid frowned,
"Chief Davie-Not-Afraid killed
many; took many scalps; too many
to count," said he in the slow, dig
nified tones that best became a
chief.
Laughing Water Dorothy giggled.
"Tour tent'll be dowrn on your
head in a' minute,” said phe, at
which Chief Davie dropped his dig
nity and hastened to fix it.
If you looked closely at that tent
you could see that it was made of
an old horse blanket, drain'd partly
over the grape arbor and partly
over the clothesline.
The girls watched Davie tighten
the blanket, and then they jumped
up, declaring that they were tired
of playing Indian, and that they
didn’t want even to shoot the boys’
bow’s and arrows.
"What do we care," said Davie;
"we’ll play, just the same, w’ont we,
Billy?"
Billy frowned. "You never call
me by my Indian name,” he said,
"and I don’t want to play ’count
o’ that.”
"It’s too much like mine,” grum
bled Davie, “and I don’t like it.
Mine’s Not-Afraid and yours is
Afraid - of - Nothing, and you
wouldn’t have it anything else."
“Well, I wanted a good one, too.
didn't I?" Billy stood up, took off
his coat, turned it right side out
and put it on again. Inside out
. the coat was sun»oscri to be a war
rior’s garment of leather and beads.
Billy also removed the long
feather from his cap.
"I'm not going to play,” said Billy.
“Neither am I, then," cried Davie,
removing his coat and turning it
right side out.
Mary Elizabeth laughed. “O’
course you’re not, when there’s no
body left to play with," she cried;
“we’ll have to think up a new
game."
“Yes," said Dorothy, “a quiet one.
I’m tired of Indian W’ars and scalps
and whoops.” She thought for a
moment, then said: “Let's sit on
the step and ask riddles."
“Riddles! Riddles. I love 'em,"
cried Mary Elizabeth with enthusi
asm; “we'll take turns asking. You
begin, Dorothy, and don't have
them too hard right at the begin
ning.”
“I know one,” cut in Billy; “what
makee more noise than a pig under
a gate? Two pigs. Isn’t that a
good one?"
Even Davie laughed at that,
“You told the answer, too,” he
jeered; “that Isn’t the w’ay to ask
riddles. You make people guess
them!”
Billy looked glum.
“That’s the only one I know, too,”
he mourned. But Dorothy de
clared that if he’d be good she'd
teach him a great many. So, after
a smile had found its way to
Davie's face, she began:
"Round as a biscuit,
Busy as a bee.
Something in the middle
Goes ticlcety-tee.”
Guess what it is,” said Dorothy,
and the others began to think with
all their might.
“There’s nothing does that," said
Davie at last.
“You were to begin with an easy
one,” declared Mary Elizabeth, “and
that’s a very hard one. Dorothy."
"It's a boat,’ cried Billy, “in the
lake.’
"Nope,” said Dorothy. And then
they all fell to guessing again. At
last Mary Elizabeth said, "I give it
up.”
Then Davie said "I give it up."
And Billy chimed 'll! “I give it up.”
“Very well, then,” announced
Dorothy; "I’ll have to tell you.
“Round as a biscuit.
Busy as a bee,
Something in the middle
Goes tickety-tee."
Dorothy looked at the children tri
umphantly and said: "Why, It’s a
watch, o’ course.”

FORGIVE AND
FORGET
BY DANIEL B. McKENNEY
(Continued from Yesterday.)
Tommy asked no more questions.
For a project had suddenly occurred
to him which he did not wish his
grandmother to suspect. Why should
his mother be obliged to work when
she had a son whose duty it was to
take care of her? He was past fifteen
and as strong as most men. More
over, he had made such good use of
his schooling that he could now read,
write and cipher tolerably well.
Surely, there must be many ways be
sides farming by which a bright, am
bitious boy could earn money, and he |
felt that he had no right to continue
living with his grandparents when his
mother needed him. So he resolved
to Join her at the first opportunity.
Two days later, Tommy arose be
fore sunrise, did the chores us usual,
and, taking his dog with him, started
for Cundy’s Harbor. It was the day
when Wat Smith’s schooner made its
weekly voyage to Portland with
freight. He had already arranged
with the skipper for his passage,
agreeing to pay him when he reached
Portlund and had disposed of two
barrels of clams he had dug for that
purpose.
The schooner was to start at s
o’clock, and as It was only half
past seven when the boy reached the
wharf, he sat down In the skipper's
cabin and wrote the following fare
well letter to his grandparents:
Dear Grandpa and Grandma.
My mother needs me and I have
gone to Portland to help her. It
is a boy's duty to help his mother,
don’t you think so? I would have
told you of my plan, but I was
afraid you would not approve of
It. That is why I left without
bidding you good-by. God bless
you both for all your kindness to
me.
Your loving grandson.
TOMMY.
He took this letter to the store to
be delivered to his grandfather when
he called there in the evening, and,
returning to the vessel, concealed
himself and Watch in the cabin until
she cast loose from the whurf. Nor
did he venture upon deck until the
schooner stopped at Orr’s Island to
take on more freight. All that day
she stopped at other places along the
coast, adding to her cargo, and at
nightfall finally started for her des
tination. _

j The Midnight Walker
It was about 7 o’clock one cold,
stormy winter’s evening that Helen
Chase walked sadly down the nar
row, poorly-lighted streets. Little
Helen was made an orphan when her
father, who was her best and only
living friend, died four days before
her midnight walk. The reason for
the night walk happened this way:
She was sitting in the room her father
occupied (while alive) when her step
mother came to her with a very
wicked look :n her eyes „
The reason which caused the step
mother to hear so much hatred
toward Helen was that she was great
ly superior in beauty, health and in
telligence to her own haughty, over
bearing daughter.
She approached the orphan and,
laying her hand roughly on Helen’s
long, beautiful llaxen curls, told her
that she did not Intend to be living
in that house more than a week and
that she (Helen), who was not wanted
there, would have to go now.
Helen begged her stepmother not to
send her out In the cold snow and
without any place to lay her head for
the night.
But it was useless for her to beg,
for her stepmother interrupted her
pleadings by telling her that if she
was not out of the house in a half
hour she would be obliged to throw
her out.
Helen then went to her room and
putting on her black coat and hat
(the material of which was very cheap
and therefore of very poor quality)
was forced to leave her once happy
home. _
As she walked along trying to col
lect her shattered thoughts she did
not notice that the streets had been
for iiuite a few hours very lonely and
vacant, l’oor little orphan! She did
not think of or hear a clock some
place in the village strike the hour
of midnight.
It was about fifteen minutes after
twelve when suddenly she was
aroused by the sound of voices com
ing from the sidewalk directly in
front of her. She could not run, for
already the people had seen her. As
they drew nearer Helen saw that the
party consisted of three men (work
ing men, it seemed, for they carried
dinner pails on their arms); they were
greatly surprised at seeing a child of
thirteen out at that hour, and one of
them, a gentleman about twenty
three, broke the silence by asking the
child gently where she was going, and
before she could answer he told her
that she must let them take her
home.
Sadly she told them she had no
home; that she had lost it that eve
ning.
The young gentleman was touched
when told this, and told Helen she
could find shelter in his mother’s
home, although it was a very poor
one.
Helen gladly consented and reached
his home in about ten minutes.
His mother tried to make Helen as
cheerful as possible, and after giving
her some supper led her to a little
room in which there was a small bed.

The Storyteller
There was a lion who was king of
animals. He wanted something to
amuse him. He wanted a story
teller telling stories, each one better
than the other. The animals were
afraid, but the fox said, “Tell him
the story-teller is here." “Well,” said
the king, “are you ready?” “Yes,"
said the fox.
"Once upon a time there was a fish
erman. Ono day while fishing his net
broke. One fish escaped and so on. 'I
have a mind to eat you up,’ said the
king. ‘Isn’t one ilsli better than the
Other? You got to keep your prom
ise.’ ‘All right,’ said the king, ‘but
the next time I won’t.’ ”

The Story of Cuff
Cuff was a churn dog who lived in
New York. His master was a dairy
farmer and needed Cuff's help. Cuff
worked half a day, and after his long
day of hard work he would have the
afternoon oft to sleep or run around.
One day as Cuff waa lying on the
porch blinking in the sunshine he saw
a woodchuck on the hill. He re

For Mothers
Many mothers are at a loss to know
what to do with baby from ten
months on; he is just trying to tod
dle and is up to all sorts of mischief.
This idea may appeal to some: Pro
cure a strong box of white wood about
two feet high and two feet long, pad
the edges with some felt to keep the
little one from injury and lay a
double piece inside. Put baby in with
a few toys, and he wdll amuse himself
for a considerable time while mother
goes about her house duties without
the worry and fear of baby getting
into mischief.
A belt is a very good thing to fas
ten round baby, with a few holes
pierced and some colored ribbons
threaded through. The Various small
toys may be sown or tied to these.
The little one will always have them
with him, and so save mother many
steps running to pick them up each
time’ they fall out of baby fingers.
Cleaning a Corduroy Hat
Dear Margery Doon:
I have a white corduroy hat
which is soiled from wear and would
like to know how to clean It. Thank
ing you, MOLDIE G.
White corduroy of good quality
may be washed with white soap and
warm water with excellent results.
Do not rub the soap directly on the
hat. Make a good lather. Rinse
well.
If you are afraid to try this give
the hat a gasoline bath. Det it soak
in a pall of the fluid for about fif
teen minutes, rubbing the soiled
parts with the hands. Rinse in clean
gasoline and hang in the air to dry.
Do not use gasoline in a warm room,
or near a Are, or even where there/
is a lighted gas Jet. It is highly in
flammable.

Dry-Cleaning a Lace Spread
My dear Miss Doon:
Will you kindly let me know how
I can drv clean a net Renaissance

ironing?
The spread contains centre pieces
of linen and princess and linen
cluny lace. Hoping you can give
me advice. MRS. C. B.
I'm afraid you’ve set yourself a
big, big task. However, the spread
might be cleaned In this way:
Spread a blanket upon the kitchen
table, and spread the lace cover
over this. Then go over the entire
cover with white cake magnesia,
rubbing thoroughly and carefully.
Then take the cover out of doors
and shake and beat gently until all
of the magnesia is out. Then place

“All Smiles Tonight, Love”
Thanks, several of my good
friends, for copies of the old senti
mental song, *T11 Be All Smiles To
night, Love,” which was recently re
quested. It follows;
I'LL BE ALL SMILES TONIGHT,
LOVE.
I'll deck my brow with roses, for
loved ones will be there;
And the gems that others gave ms
I’ll wear within my hair.
And even those that know me will
think my heart is light.
Though my heart shall break to
morrow.
I'll be all smiles tonight.
Chorus:
I’ll be all smiles tonight, love;
I’ll be all smiles tonight;
Though my heart shall break to
morrow,
I’ll bo all smiles tonight.
And when the dance commences,
oh, how I will rejoice!
I’ll sing the songs he taught me '
without a faltering.voice,
And flatterers gathered ’round me
will think my hgprt is light. •
Though my heart shall break to
morrow,
I’ll be all smiles tonight.
And when the room he enters, with
the bride upon his arm,
I’ll stop to gaze upon her as
though she wore a charm
And if he smiles upon her as oft he
smiled on me
They’ll know not what I suffer;
they’ll find no change in me.
And when the dance is over, and
all have gone to rest.
I’ll pray for him, dear mother, the
one that I love best;
For once he loved me true, dear.
but now he’s cold and f
strange; ,
He said he’d ne’er deceive me.
False friends have wrought
the change.
Mrs. H.
The clipping you enclose is an ad- (
vertlsement. I infer that sulphur
is mixed with the sage, but know
nothing of the hair tonic, so, natur
ally, cannot recommend It.
A Coated Tea Kettle
Dear Margery Doon:
Will you please tell me how to re
move a coating from the inside of
my tea kettle? It looks like a coat
ing of lime. Thanking you. J. K.
Fill the kettle with water, add a
largo piece of sal-soda and let the ■
water boil for an hour. Wash the
soda solution out and the kettle
should be clean.
It is a good idea to keep a clean
oyster shell in the bottom of the
kettle. Much of the limestone will
fasten itself to the shell. When it
becomes heavy throw it away and *
put in a new one.
Curtain Fixtures
The marked change In hanging cur
tains, whether of lace or chintz ot
other heavier stuffs, necessitates spe
cial fixtures, and preference is for
those that do not show at all. The
best fixtures are slim, steel rods -
rounding at the ends to return, as
architects say, the curtains to the
wall. These rods are made with one
bar for the lace curtain, a second for
the draperies, and a third for the
valance, if there is to be a valance.
