Henderson clinched his teeth and
held her hand. The moth had emerged |
too recently to be troublesome. It,
climbed on her fingers quietly and!
obligingly clung there without moving. |
So hand in hand they went down the
dark forest path. A strange excitement |
took possession of Edith. She began |
to feel proud of the creature.
“Do you know.” she sald to Hender- |
son. “this is growing easler every
step. Its clinging is not disagreeable, |
as 1 thought it would be. 1 feel as |
if 1 were saving it, protecting it. 1 am
proud that we are taking it to be put
into a collection or a book. It seems .
like doing a thing worth while.”
“Edith, if you don’t stop,” said Hen.
derson. “1 will take you in my arms
and kiss the face half off you. here
on the avenue. You are adorable!”
“There's the place, and, thank good. |
ness, there is a crowd.” she said.
“Hello, every one!" she cried as she
same on the wide veranda. "Only see |
what we found up in the forest. We
thought you might ilke to have it for
some of your collections.”
She held out the moth as she walked |
straight to Eloocia. who arose to meet
her, crying. “How perfectly splendid! |
1 don’t even know how to begin to |
thank you.”

“If you knew her as well as I do,”
said Philip Ammon, “you would have a

“I have to take care of this,” faltered |

“I must help,” said Ammon, disap-
pearing also. “Elnora,” be called, catch-

“Superb!” exclaimed Elnora. “I have

SET UP BOTTLES AS GODS
Burmese Natives, Relieved by “Pain
Killer,” Accepted What They
Thought Was Deity.
There are many people in this
country who are given to a worship
of patent medicines; but it remained
for the East to furnish an instance of
actual idolatry of empty medicine bot-
tles.
An American missionary came upon
a village in Burma where an epidem-
ic was raging. Having with him a
quantity of New England “pain kill
er’ and thinking he might at least |
allay the suffering somewhat, he!
went from house to house adminis-
tering the remedy, and left a number
of bottles to be used after he had
gone. When he returned to the vil
lage some months later he was met
this intelligence; “Teacher, we have
come over to your side; the medicine
did us so much good that we have
accepted your god.” Overjoyed at this
news, the missionary was conducted
to the house of the head man, who
opened the door of a room and]
showed him the pain killer bottles |
solemnly arranged in a row upon the
company immediately
themselves in worship.

Dog Worth Owning,
J. L. Sappington of Centralia will be
protected from the cold this winter
by a coonskin overcoat made from
hides of coons which he caught with
his famous coon dog Buck.
The coat, which Sappington was
wearing, was made from the skins of
30 of the 132 of the ringtailed species
which he and his canine have cap-
tured in the last three years. Sap-
pington sent the skins to a furrier
with instructions to use only the best
can be made and differs from the
coonskin garments of this kind usual-
ly seen.
Three years ago Sappington bagged
52 coons. Two years ago he captured
48, last year but 16 and so far this
year he has captured 16.—Fulton cor-
Crack Filler.
Cracks in a floor, caused by the
spreading apart of the boards, are ob-
jectionable because they catch dust
filler is made from newspapers. Tear
the paper into small bits, soak in hot
water, and mix with warm flour paste.
Fill the cracks with this mixture,
which should be thick, spreading the
paste with a knife. Another good
filler consists of a mixture of glue and
sawdust. Heat the glue until melted
and for one pound of glue, before
melting, allow one gallon of water.
When melted, stir into it fine saw-
dust until a thick paste results. Fill
the cracks with this, packing it down
solidly and smoothing it over with a
knife blade. When the filler is thor
oughly dried the floor may be stained.

“A COUNTRY READER.”
The working housekeeper’s hands
have many injurious influences to en-
counter, but the very worst of them is
the constant immersion in water
which dishwashing and other cleaing
up involve. Rapid changes from hot
to cold water, and the reverse, are
very hard on the hands, the changes
of temperature making the nails brit
tle and scoring them with the ridges
80 often seen on much-used hands.
The texture of the skin is also coars-
ened, while the soaps used in all
forms of housework, being full of al-
kall, may so attack the delicate flech
about the nails as to loosen them. So
a proper care of the nails certainly
means a proper care of all the hands,
and it is easy enough to protect them
when doing some forms of coarse
work. There are heavy wRkite cotton
gloves for sweeping and dusting which
cost only ten cents a pair. Before put-
ting these on, the palms and nails
should be greased with olive ofl or
vaseline, either unguent rubbed well
into the skin and all about the nail
scarf. The gloves should also be regu-
larly washed, for when they are
grimed with dirt they are certainly
useless for beautifying purposes.
With these gloves and a mop, dishes
and cooking utensils may be washed
without injury to the hands, or, if
preferred, rubber gloves could be used
for the dishwashing.
The first care of hangs ipjured with
+housework begins with the cleansing
‘bath, with soft water barely more
than tepid, and the soap of a very
good sort. If the water used is hard
soften it with a teaspoonful of borax,
and before using the soap shave it up
and boil it down to a jelly. Get a
cake of good old castile for the pur-
pose, and after the soap is dissolved
pour in about half a cup of benzuin,
stirring it well into the jelly. Begin
the bath by wetting the hands, and
then rub the jelly on them, working
the hands together in the usual way
as when using soap. Wash off in one
water and then rinse in another of the
same temperature, drying the hands
at once on a clean, soft towel.
Such a hand bath should be taken
every night before going to bed, and
when the hands are dry some unguent
must be rubbed at once over and
about the nails—either olive oil or vas-
eline, as hitherto stated.
As numerous baths, even with the
best soap and softest water, are not
always good for sensitive nails and
delicate skin, it is wise to clean the
hands several times during the day
with olive oll or palm oil; if the hands
are well rubbed with either of these,
then dusted with talcum powder, and
wiped off with a coarse and yet soft
towel, the soil will be entirely re-
moved. Coarsened nails are much im-
proved, too, by the wearing of loose
old white kid gloves, both during the
day and at night, while the regular
gloves worn should also be fairly loose
and of a soft leather such as chamois
or doeskin,
KATHERINE MORTON.
Budget From “Newly Wed.”
I am a very interested reader of all
your good advice and suggestions tc
the many asking aid from you. May
I, too, ask a few questions? Am just
married and moved into our dear lit
tle bungalow, and look to you for ad
vice. For which foods are finge:
bowls used, and does a finger bow!
stand in a glass plate? When are the
finger bowls placed on the table!
When individual salt dishes are placed
on the table with salt spoons, is the
salt conveyed to the plate with small
spoon? Please give me a recipe for
a fruit salad containing grapefruit and
one without, also a cabbage salad
recipe, if not too much trouble for you.
In having cards printed shall I have
my husband's name on my card, such
as “Mrs, H. B. Jones” (or Harry B.)?
Is it good taste to have a door plate
with name on on our new home?—V.
G. N.
Finger bowls are necessary when
fruit is served or corn on the cob, ahd
many hostesses have them brought in
with the dessert service or after it.
Each bowl rests on a glass plate to
match or on a china plate on top of a
fine finger bowl doily. The salt spoon
is used by the individual to put the
salt on his plate. I cannot take the
limited space to write out recipes un-
less for some very unusual dish that
will be a novelty. What you wish will
be found in any up-to-date cock book.
Your cards should be engraved with
ryour husband's full name. Door plates
are seldom used now.
From “N. B. D.”
Will you kindly answer through the
paper whether it is proper to bring a
box of candy or chocolates when tak.
ing a lady to the theater? Also which
side should a gentleman be on (right
or left of lady) in escorting her across
the ballroom floor, and on which side
should he seat himself?—N. B. D.
There is nothing improper about
taking a box of candy to the theater,
| but it should be eaten during the in-
termission and not during the play.
A man walks at the left of a lady and
sits at her left, offering his right arm
when occasion requires it.
Glove Etiquette.
Is it necessary to remove the glove
before shaking hands? Are there cer-
tain occasions when this is or is not
necessary “WAITING.”
If a man should be working and
have on heavy soiled gloves he should
remove them before shaking hands,
otherwise it is not necessary.

Breeze Baskets.
The bedroom that is redolent of the
old-fashioned scent of lavender sug-
gests refreshment and peace. It is
not enough to line the wardrobe
shelves with lavender sachets, though
to do so is a step in the right direc-
tion.
Very pretty are the hanging
“breeze” baskets which every breath
of air from the outside encourages
to send forth a delicious scent. The
baskets are hung upon ribbon and
slung upon the looking glass or upon
the handle of an escritoire, out of
sight maybe, but not out of mind.
