A sliding bed with a mattress in two parts, was discarded as a sleeping arrangement because something went wrong with one of the legs, so that the bed when stretched out, would not Stand satisfactorily. Several of the family were for call- ing the junk man, but a more ingen- ious member of the group saw possi- bilities in the old sliding bed. It was taken apart so that there were two -good stout springs with iron frames.; Stout chains were purchased and attached, and the hammock swing suspended from the porch ceiling. The mattress was covered with cretonne, with - a ruffle on either side, and pillows to 'match made. - The seat was so comfortable that it was always in demand. The other part was taken and turned upside down so that the erstwhile legs formed four posts, three sides of which were cover- ed with stout khaki cloth of tent weight. This made a back, a head, and a foot. This part of the mattress was covered with khaki to match, with a straight valance in front. Stout chains hung the swing at the farther end of the porch, and bright cretonne cushions finished the article -satisfac- torily, so that it was even better than the first one. The expense entailed for the two verandah swings was a mere trifle, as cretonne was used which was in the house, and only the khaki cloth and heavy chain had to be bought. True thrift consists in making good use of what we have, so as to increase our comfort, well-being and pleasure, at the same time conserving our re- sources. THE ANSWER.

He was about to rise and there. leave the Exhibition when he saw "Uncle!" corn - something that chained him to his The head of the Boulter's Line coin- chair. Elsie was approaching on one pang found a white arm entwined r of the paths, and, by her side, was Mr.. Manson. The girl had many demands upon her time. Besides keeping house for her invalid father and her three younger brothers she was attending a nearby university. The family income was limited; but so long as the even- ings were occupied with study and her days 'filled with work she could not earn in any of the usual ways the ex- tra money that she needed. In planning her scheme she realized that she could study at a neighbor's, house as well as at her own -better in fact, for there she would not have three high-spirited brothers shouting over their games or banging the piano. Moreover, she could be earning some- thing while she studied. She wrote notes to all the young married couples in the neighborhood who had small children,—to those she did not know as well as to her friends, —saying that all her evenings were free, and that she should be glad to stay in the house with the baby while the parents went out. She added that for that service her charge would be fifty cents from seven o'clock until eleven, and seventy-five cents for a Ionger evening. The plan succeeded from the first. Most of the young married people in the community were of modest means and did not keep a maid. • They were glad to find an intelligent and respon- sible person to stay in the house when they wished to go out. "Of` course the baby never wakes up, but if he should Susan would know what to do," was the way they ex- pressed their approval of the scheme. The business soon grew to satisfy- ing proportions. The girl's friends quickly told others of the plan, and in a short time the project of keeping house for sleeping babies was bringing an income of three, four, and some- times even five, dollars a week.

With the decision of the Great Powers of Europe ,to cease trying to cut each other's, throats at Constantin- ople, Turkey dro,.pped out of the lime- light. As an empire, Turkey subsisted for a century on their rivalries; the Sultan played one against the other with Oriental cunning, all the while holding over them as a threat ;his• power as Caliph of Islam, presumably capable of raising a holy war against the, Powers in their Islamic lependen- cies. The Treaty of Lausanne` set up Tur- key -as an independent republic, the nations of Western Europe agreeing, at least for the time being, to subdue their rivalries at the Gateway of Asia. Moreover, there is 'no' .longer an ab- soliitist Sultan, but a rather weak democratic Government, ' residing in the hills of Anatolia—a Government .. that has trouble enough holding it- self together without stirring u p' for- eign difficulties. Even more import- ant, perhaps, Turkey, by expelling the Caliph, lost its leadership in Islath— in fact, sorely off ended 'Islam: The Great Powers, for the moment, need not bother about Turkey. The Turkish Question, so long -capitalized in every important chancellery of Eur-' ope, has become a side issue. This fact was demonstrated by the casual manner in which the French Parlia- ment, called for the purpose of con- sidering Prebii i' Ilerriot's London agreements,`also ratified the Lausanne Treaty, previously approved by Great Britain, Italy, and Japan. Incidentally, it wasonlya few days ago that the British Government sub- mitted to other nations a proposal to demote the Constantinople embassies to legations. Sending • Ambassadors out in the hills to littlel Angora has not even been seriouslly 'considered_ And in Constantinople .itself a Minis- ter is inis-ter:'is regarded -----.at least by Britain, whose interest in the Asian Gateway is greater than that of any other na- tion—as quite sufficient. Turkey to -day is a small and insig- nificant republic, situated by chance .at the convergance of several of the world's greatest trade routes. But it is not strong enough to give trouble, and may never be again -unless the big. nations go there looking for it. A Pressing invitation,. Mrs, Sage had been spending the day with Mrs. Mint.
