TELLING CHILDREN STORIES.
What 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
maybe 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
that the longer she told her little
daughter "good -night" stories the
wider awake she became. "The more
stories I tell her, the more she wants,"
the mother complained. "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 'tillten o'clock. And she
gets 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
sleeplessness. Suppose that she had
told the child stories of a soothing na-
ture? You know there are stories of
that sort—stories that have a repiti-
tion of soft, drowsy sounds that na-
turally have the effect of producing
sleepiness. Or, if she preferred, she
might have told the little one stories
that, even though they did not have
the effect of producing sleepiness, may
be told at bedtime, with perfect sofety.
In fact, any story that does not con-
tain the least element of fear may be
safely told. But if a mother desires
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 Iittle
brother, seven years old, began after
he had been put to bed, to tell the
story that his teacher had read to his
class in school that dog. It was hard
to get him interested in any other
story. The "teacher's story" had
made such an impression on him that
it seemed he could not get it out of
his 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
lame as she is only a girl and this
is her first school. Anyway, our little
brother took some stories to school
with him the next day—just such
Itories as he is used to having told
and read to him—and the teacher
seemed pleased to get them. and to
prove it, read them aloud to the class.
And as a result brother did not have
any difficulty in keeping his mind on
his own good -night story when he
went to bed. His little mind was not
full of horrible, fear -instilling
thoughts, and by the time my story

HANGING -BASKET PLANTS.
Hanging -basket plants, I -: have
learned, must be hardy and not easily
injured by heat or temporary neglect,
The air up where they are is .likely
to be much hotter than the normal
living -room temperature, and, being
above the level of the eyes, they are
likely to be neglected. Drying out
fast, they need more watering than
pots below, and usually get less.
The Bermuda buttercup oxalis has
been about the best blooming hanging-
basket plant I have ever grown. Both
foliage and flowers have long stems,
and droop down over the sides as they
mature. One or two bulbs will make a
fine basket. A large -fleshy root stores
moisture, which makes it drought-
resistant. This is the case also with
Asparagus sprengeri another excellent
basket plant with beautiful feathery
foliage but no worth -while bloom.
Wandering Jew and weeping lantana
are trailing plants often used, but
either of the above I have found to
be better.—A, H.
THEIR GREATEST LABOR
SAVERS.
When a certain farm woman figur-
ed that she was traveling 114 miles
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. Facts
are stubborn and sometimes startling,
and often the simplest changes spell
the difference between drudgery and
pleasure in doing housework.
"What is the greatest labor saver
in your hone?" was the question asked
at a home -improvement meeting the
other day.
Electric lights, electric iron, and
electric washer of course came in for
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-
dows and mirrors," volunteered a
third.
Other things found helpful were
drop shelves to supply extra room,
wire dish cloth, dustless dust mop, oil
cloth on shelves, traveling table, and
oil stove.
Just read this over again, and see
if there isn't at least one of these
labor savers that you need and can
have without much expenditure of
time or money.
PATCHING NEW GARMENTS.
Patching new ga.meats sounds
drastic, but is much easier and more
inspiring than working on old ones
that .are faded and out cf shape.
Patches, like the nose on the face,
have a habit of coming in the same
places. So it is a simple matter to
put them on after a newarment has
been shrunk, or, if made at home,
after it has been finished. In the lat-
ter case some of the material can be
used, but if clothes are ready-made
some similar material will do jt.st as
well,
The tail of an old shirt is often good
enough to be cut into patches for the
elbows or pieces large enough to come
down over the shoulder blades in the!
Lack. Cut the patches round for the!
elbows and pin or baste into place. Do
not turn in the edges. Catch -stitch
the patch to the sleeve very lightly.
When putting in double backs shape
the patch like the top of the shirt, pin
into place, turn in the edges and hem
to sleeves, shoulder and collar seams.
Overcast the lower edge and tack
to the shirt in several places so as to
hold it in place. Knees and seats of.
new trousers will be much slower to
come through if re -enforced in' this
way while new. Underwear and pa-
jamas will need almost no attention
in later life when they are patched
before showing too much wear. You

CHAPTER VI.-(Cont'd.)
"Yes, sir?" said 'the 'servant, as he
did not speak.
"Oh, .Alice, I want to have a talk
with you both, ,Do you, think Jane
could come here for a minute?"
"I'll ask hell sir,". Alice replied, and.
she left the room.
The door opened again and the two
elderly women' entered. Tlie cook, fat1
and jolly and red-faced, walked first.
Alice, tall and angular and with a
face like a hatchet, followed. Alice
closed the door.
"Yes, sir?" said Jane.

Ardington hesitated before he re-

"Did you know his wife?" asked
Trehorn.
"Not very well. But she was a

gave a sigh of relief. He had said
nothing about the police. But he was.
not afraid that either of them would
be induced to betray him. On thinking
the matter over he had come to the
conclusion that police inquiries would
only stiffen their determination to
back hint up. They wouid'notsay any-
thing that would get him into trouble
with the police,

carver, and it was said that his work
more nearly approached the perfection
and spirit of the mediaeval craftsmen
than the work of any other man in
England.
"I say,, this is a pretty rotten busi-
ness," said Trehorn. "I was just go-
ing to send a telegram to Mrs. Mer.

Ardington seated himself in a chair
and lit 'a cigarette. "Where is the
woman?" he asked.
"I don't know.. I know nothing
about any woman. Who told you Mar-

"No one," Ardington replied. "The

a minute of silence, "that this un-

"Yes, L see what you mean. If poor

the. woman would provide a motive."
"And if Paula Merrington was mur-

"Oh, you don't think that!" said

t"Yes. He is my patient. I'm going

I "Quite so, and the first duty of a
man is to tell any amount of lies to

"I. mean that before I came here I

"Oh, I see." Ardington paused and
laughed. "Good man! I can trust

You're going to tell a few lies for him,

crushed and broken red feathers from
his pocket. "Look at them. I found
them in the hedge -lucky I did find

Dr. Trehorn at once recognized the
two red feathers—identical with the
