The first thing, everybody was
ticketed as either a sniciceide,odle• or
a hermit—two well-known kinds' of
,cookies. Cookies, as anyone knows,
are a product of Saturday morning's
baking. Red ribbons were snickei=
doodles; and blue ones, hermits,
Snickerde edle,s tried to beat hermit
in several exciting contests.

First, the two side.s stood in elopes -
int rows, and the members passed Fa
Whole egg -shell from hand to hand
down the line, •each side vyinig with
the other in 'Speed. There was naradh
squealing lest the frail eggshell dra
on the floor in l•te ha•sity transit. ,
The next Stunt was similar, only
that this time it was a handful o
beians- What :a scramble there was
when a. bea,n dropped. for that del•ayed
the progreSs migh•tily! If -you have
never tried it, pass a handful of ibearie
quickly to anather person and see how
difficult it is to transfer them safely
A third stent was a spelling bee
using Saturday words—the words af
baking day: People get surprisingly
mixed such ,stimple ones as oho•ce-
late, salemtue, molasses, banana,
cinnamon, and the like.
Presently it was suggested that
snickerdoodles and hermits give a Sat-
urday matinee of cake charades. Each
side received the names of cakes as
for instance: Angels' food, devil cake,
White Maintain cake, lady fingers,
and so on. ,
A game f,or, everybody was called
"Stir the Pudding." The players stood
in a ring aromid a blindfolded leader,
the "-cook," holding a spoan, andethey
circled- till the leader said, "Stop!"
At the same- time 'the leader pointed
his spoon at someone in the ,circle, and
asked a questione.,-any Sort that ea,me
into his head, the crazier the better.
The one Poirrbed at was supposed, by
disguising her voice to conceal her
identity. If she fail'ecli to do so, she
had to take her place in the e.entre
and become the "eoak." After three
attempts on any one person, the spoon
usuall3r stirred the pudding .again for
a new victim.
Saturday's child was there—forlorn
lonig-sleeved gin,gliarn and pigtails.
She had big pockets in her apron, full
of fortunes about- future jobs and
destinies, and soon the dfines began to

old Judge's face assumed the stern-

fact that she seemed to wish that por-

The Home -Turning.
Oh, the twilight sets. me yearning
On warm summer nights;
For the woodedaroad's home -turning
And the gleaming- lights;
All the long, deep valley sleeping,
Misty, cool and ,still,
And the moonlight glory creeping
Over flowering hill.
Sweet the honeysuckle clinging
To the locust twee;
Wide the little gate a -swinging,
Beelooning to me.
Wee the cottage, sil-vered, glistening
In the nroen'S white
And a mother listening, listening
At the Close of day.

Wisps of Wisdom.
Ymi are the real author of your
troubles.
The man who shows up best is the
one who shows off least.
The fellow who gets too -big for hie
shoes is apt to finish up barefooted,
It requires wisdom -to sPeatc, but to
keep silence requires only ,self -con,
trol.
W.hen a man is in earnest and knows
what he is itbout, his worlt is half
done.
A pessimist is a man. who, when
given his choice between two evils,
takes both of them.
Marriage is not for those who can-
not push a perambulator without feel-
ing self-conscioust
The ladder of life is full of splinters,
but they always prick the hardest
when we're sliding down.
Sometimes we don't make the best
of ourselves. If charitY begins at
home, be a bit decent to yourself.

Granted an arresting head-
line, the art of writing a retail
advertisement is just the ability
to say one's say intelligently.
in logical order, and, above all,
naturally.
No "literary gift"—no flowery
language—is necessary. The
best copy is the earnest, over-
the-counter talk you would give
to a customer.
In other words, put youeself--
your soul—into your writing.
° Grammar is useful, but not
indispensable. It doesn't make
or break the advertisement. It
is your own earnestness and
conviction that makes people
—believe and respond to what
you say.
You will find, as you devote
More attention to your adver-.
tising, that it will.return you
dividends of pleasure as well
as of profit. As time passes,
customers will notice an emis-
sion and speak to you about it,
This experience is not imagin:
ary. It is a fact --as many
merchants and publishera will
test ify.
One of the most enjoyable
things you can do is to spend
an hour or so a few evenings a
week thinking out a well-bal-
anced weekly newspaporradver-
tising campaign for your store
and your merchandise. Arica
having thought it out, carry it
through regardless of other'
people's opinions or whims.
You have three of the best
trading' months ahead. Do,
then, as we suggest, and watch
results., -
