Patching new garments sound* drastic, but is much easier and more GREENMANTLE BY JOHN BUCHAN. (Copyrighted Thomas Nelson and Sons, Ltd.) CHAPTER XV. (Cont'd.) | "Dick," he said, "this job is getting "What came you forth to seek?" very difficult and very dark. But my TELLING CHILDREN STORIES. Wh-'at sort of bed-time stories do you tell to your children; and what sort of an impression do they make on the little tots? Do you sometimes wonder why the longer you tell your little son or daughter stories the wider awake they become? If this is the case, you may be sure that there is a very good reason for it. What kind of stories do your children ask for? One is safe In assuming that if the child is ac- quainted with Little Red Riding Hood, Jack the Giant Killer, etc., that they are his favorite stories. But have you allowed the child to become acquainted with these characters of story-lore? A friend once complained to me thoughts, and by the time my story was finished, he was ready to go to sleep. THEIR GREATEST LABOR SAVERS. When a certain farm woman figur- ed that she was traveling 114 milea a year, bringing water from her back porch into the kitchen, it did not take her long to persuade the men-folks to pipe the water into the house.

"She wants tales of ogres and giants and Indians, and she won't go to sleep without them and she can't go to sleep with them, sometimes 'till ten o'clock. And she fets so nervous that she often cries out in her sleep." Although a woman of unusual in- telligence, she did not seem to realize that it was the sort of stories she told to her little daughter that caused the their due share of praise; but many of the things mentioned were within the limits of even the slenderest pocketbook, and some of these things require no outlay of money whatever, only a little thought and ingenuity. "A high stool In the kitchen," said one woman. "Hooks to hang utensils where they are needed," said another. "A chamois skin for washing win- A SIMPLE, DAINTY SACK.

But if a mother desire* that her child shall sleep well, she should never tell him, or allow him to be told, stories that frighten him. Such stories are also poor brain-developers. Only a few evenings ago our little brother, seven years old, began after he had been put to bed, to tell the tory that his teacher had read to his class in school that doy. It was hard to get him interested in any other tory. The "teacher's story" had made such an impression on him that it seemed he could not get it out of In mind. I did not get much mean- ing from his rather incoherent version, but I know the story was full of be- headings, giants and ogres, and that it was not fit for any child's mind. It was with difficulty that I interested the child in a simple little nature tory. Perhaps the child's teacher is not to blame as she is only a girl and this il her first school. Anyway, our little brother took some stories to school 4463. Filet lace and crepe de chine with him the next day just such are here combined.
