She ate a hurried breakfast, made her bed hastily, flung on her coat and planted. a kiss on her mother's face that slid along the cheek and landed just in front of the ear, Adella was off to school! The session closed at three o'clock, but Adella was not at home until four. She liked to loiter, for she had "best friends" to see and many of them. She used the next hour for tennis or skating, according to the season. Then came a few moments at the piano. Dinner was followed by a study period that lasted until bedtime. Obviously there was only one day in the week in which Adella could tidy up her room, and the "rush and bang" habit marked the flash of broom and duster in her room every Saturday. First she swept. Then she dusted the class mottoes, the school and col- lege pennants, the racket, the fish net, the trophies of vacations and college sp°rte tacked to the wall, On a shelf over the door she had eleven fancy boxes. Once upon a time every box had held candy. It was the thing for girls of Adella's age to save such boxes as an Indian saves the scalps of his victims. The eleven boxes represented eleven dif- ferent boys who had sent her candy last St. Valentine's Day. No other girl had more. But the boxes had to be dusted. There were silk and ribbon powder boxes, glove boxes and handkerchief boxes on the dresser. "Too pretty to be put away," said Adella, "I want them in sight" And they too had to be dusted. On the writing desk were photo- n hs with frames and gip wt a without frames, two pink candles inI brass holders, a fancy calendar, a doll + in pink silk that Adella had won at a fair and a miniature Goddess of! Liberty in silver to be used as a paper! weight when there were any papers I to be weighted. All had to be lifted' off while the surface of the desk was wiped; all had to be carefully dusted and put back again. In the open writing desk were boxes of fancy writing paper, a pencil hold- er, an ink stand with a little vase. holding a pen with a pink quill hold- er; a china box for stamps and an- other for pens, each of which had a fancy shepherdess on top of it, All had to be dusted, and the little shep- herdess had occasionally to have a soap -and -water bath. Adella looked at the pigeonholes and sighed. She knew that the dust was accumulating there. but, "Oh, well, let it wait an- other week!" It was eleven o'clock one Saturday morning when she sank exhausted in her chair. Glancing through the open 'window, she saw a group of her friends going by to play tennis. She was hot and tired, and somehow all those little cluttering adornments of her room did not appear so attractive. "The Chinese," said a voice from the doorway, "have a better way." "Well," answered Adella in tired tones, "I wish I lived in China. Come in, Aunt Addie, and tell me about it. I want to hear something to take my mind off that group that just went by to pray tennis" Aunt Addie entered with a smile, a1=1=sall, but before she could be seated in the an' you a ember of the Mounted?" rocker it had to be cleared of one silk He leered evt for an instant.

Some of mine I make into wash cloths, I cut away the ragged parts, and from the rest shape square or oblong cloths. I fold them once, usually; but if the pieces are worn thin, they are folded twice, making four thicknesses. The raw edges are turned in and a few basting stitches hold them in place for the machine. With a long stitch and rather loose tension I run around the edges and also stitch diagonally from corner to corner, The stitching crosses in the middle and keeps the cloth firm for the hand when in use. These cloths are convenient and last a long time, Several can be made in a few minutes. • If old towels are saved until a large number have accumulated, ex- cellent rugs may be made from them.

Burns—A Poor Farmer' But a Good Poet r Some wise person once made the re mark that "a great' man is like other;'; People—only' more so"—the idea being that ordinary folks do both good deeds and bad decfs, and' are sometimes' clever- and sometimes make 'fools of theinselves, whereas the great man does sensible deed's on a large scale and makes ,a fool of himself on a large reale .too. Tho story of Robert Burns, the great farmer -poet, told In "Robert Burns, His Life . and Genius," by. Andrew, Bakers, is very largely the story of a man who ivade a fool of himself, on a very, very great scale. He could not resist, a drink or the eyes of a pretty girl, says Mr. Deicers, and because of these two weaknesses he was in trou- ble of sone kind or other mere of his • life. But the author of this book is a pretty. canny. Scotchntan himself, and, after granting that Bobby Burne did act like a foola good deal of the time, he asks ]tow many men there were in Burns' Country in his own time who lived more soberly, and also how many Hien there are who are worth their salt who Haven't made fools of themselves in some way or other at some time or other. Robert Burns' life, after he had reached the age of twenty.three, was crowded with one love affair after an- other—one of them very unhappy, an- other as beautiful as anything in his own poetry, and still another one Just plain funny. There were plenty of gos- sips around tt: 'turn them all into scan- dal; but Burns lived to turn them into the greatest love poems in the lang- uage, and to silence the gossips. Handsome, unusually strong — he could lift a plow and toss it on the back of a wagon without seeming to 'exert himself—and with "an easy way about him," Bobby Burus was just as attractive to the opposite sex as they were to him. That was how, when one morning his dog ran over a sheet that had been stretched on a lawn to dry. in the sung and he went up to apolo- gize to the girl who had put it there, a few minutes later he had conquered, and had been conquered hy, Sean Armour, the "lovely: Sean" who later became his wife. But Jean's father. disapproved of Burns—not because he was penniless—and tore up the mar- riage paper hailed given to her, Down on his luck and generally dis- gusted with life, Burns decided to leave Scotland for good and go to the Indies—and he prepared to publish his book of poems now, for no Other reason than to get the money to pay for his passage. In the meantime his plans were changed by his meeting Om pretty Mary Campbell old becom- ing engaged to her; but his "Highland Mary" became suddenly ill and died. It was after this that the poet lost his balance a little; and began)). ridiculous high -brow hind of philandering — though innocent enough -with a Mrs, M'Lehose. But Bobby Burns soon got his feet on the ground again, in spite of the feet that at the age of twenty-seven he found himself famous and the lion of the social world of Edinburgh. He married Sean Armour, whose father's attitude had changed once Hobby's pockets were jingling with enin, set. tled clown on a farm at Ellislend, and took'a position as exciseman for the district. This time he learned a les- son that a great many men before and after him - have had to learn --that shaking a living out of farming is a job that doesn't leave time for many other occupations. Ile died a. poor man, and one of his last letters. on re- cord was a plea to a friend for ten rounds to save `Rim from a debtor's Jail. Burns' tribute to his wife, given in a letter to another friend, is worth quoting: "The most placid good nature and sweetness of. disposition; a warm heart, gaternily devoted with ell its powes to love me; vigorous ltes'ah "id sprightly cheerfulness, set off to the best advantage by a more tr,: ,i com- mon handsome figure—these, I think, in a woman may make a good wife, though she should never have read a page but the ,Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, nor have danced in, a brighter assembly than a penny pay wedding."
