About this time of year mothers and aunts of .growing girls are searching their brains for new ideas that will bring pleasure on Christmas Day. Perhaps one of the chief puzzles is to find a book that the teen-age girl will pronounce "the best ever," Last year an unusually fine story, "Judy of York Hill," came from the pen of a Canadian writer, Ethel Hume Bennett. Thou- sands of girls will this year welcome. a book by the same author, "Camp Ken-Jockety" (which means "Far from the madding crowd") is a whole- some tale of a summer spent near Georgian Bay in the far-famed High- lands ighlands of Ontario. Our old friend Judy Benson appears in this story, but the chief interest centres around Joyce Hamilton, an American girl, and her novel experiences as the guest of that delightful Canadian family, the David - sons. Joyce learns all thejoys of out- door life, and finds beauty in Can- adian poetry and romance in Can- adian history. This attractive story is well worthy of a place on your daughter's bookshelf.

Allen.) $1.50. i The en Hour By ~B. t- ARRIS-BURP..AND CHAPTER XIII (Catl'nt'd�) It was a very ordinary atter, but Ruth, reading between the Ines; quite understood that Treharn wished`to see her, and see her alone. ;Perhaps he had been afraid to be more: explicit, in case her husband were stili.at the',cet- tage. Oh, yes, it was not °dif ficuit to imagine what Treh'orn meant. It Was more difficult to decide on;the answer, Did she want to see Trehc?rn alone? Certainly elle wished to' thank him for all he had done for her, and 'she want- ed to ask more about Mer;,rington.than she could have asked in they presence of her husband. But was, it safe, was it wise and prudent of Trehor tto pay her tliis visit? Lt. would seem ie$ery ordinary visit indeed if her husband' rival at t le i fol- lowing he would be leaving on the lowing morning. The landlord, a big, jolly, red-faced fellow, protested. "With the weather so fine as i you is, sir, he said, I suppose, as ain't really comfortable."

We often hear the expression, "he has no more idea of how to spend money than a child." It is unfortun- ately true, that a great many people have no sense of money value, and this is even more true of children, which is also unfortunate. Vary young chil- dren cannot be taught to estimate money properly, of course,but after a child has reached school age .and is studying enough arithmetic to enable him to compute sums and do addition and subtraction, he can be taught money values in both very important �- «.senses o -ileo axord.'' People are coming more and more to the idea of an allowance for the child. who has no way of earning money. They are delegating certain purchases to 'the child himself, increasing these with his age and increase in allowance, and feel that when he does reach the' age that he can become a real wage- earner or own a farm or run a busi- ness ustness for himself, he will be: much more capable of the proper distribution and saving of his funds. The reason a great many people have no sense of money values is be- cause they never had money until they earned it themselves upon reaching maturity. Childhood lessons make much deeper impressions than those that have to he learned later in life. The child who must save his money to buy a coveted toy will also be more careful of the toy when he gets it, and he has a bigger notion of just what its valve is. Though nothing seems so big as the first money he earns, he will have a more definite idea of what he can buy with it if he has learned money values, Some parents pay children an al- lowance provided the children do a certain amount of work about the home. Other parents feel that they do not wish the children to get the idea that they must be paid for what they. do at home. Itis usually very satisfactory for -farm children to be given such things as pigs and calves or a small field for the boys, and chickens or a garden plot for the girls. The results of their care and labor and the money earned develop in the childrenmore business ability than could ever be talked into them after they have started out for themselves. The education of children may be considered incomplete if they know only how to count money. • Even in buying their clothing they can be con - stilted at an early .age and get a more tlefinite idea of just what is good taste .nd why, and can get some idea of nia'- Eerials. Our richest men have often been boys who had to learn the value of the dollar• at a very early age, and they never forgot the lesson.

The rhinoceros is the stupidest old fellow in all Africa, according to Carl Akeley, the distinguished naturalist and chief taxidermist of tine American Museum of Natural History. In his autobiography, "In Brightest Africa," Mr. Akeley tells how he 'discovered, quite by accident, that a rhino's charge is not necessarily fatal. "I was going along the bank of the Tana. River one day with my camera, he says. "Suddenly I was set all a- quiver by the threshings and snortings of a rhino coming through the bushes' In my direction. There was nothing to climb. Between me and the thicket 'from which the rhino was coming was about. twenty-five feet of , open space. Behind me was.a 30 -foot drop to the crocodile -infested waters of the Tana. The only hope I saw was a bush over- hanging the brink which looked as if it might -or might not hold me if I swung out. on it.' "I decided to try the bush and let the rhino land in the river, trusting to luck that_I wouldn't join him there. The bushes were thrust aside and he come full • tilt into the opening where he could see me. Everything was set for the final act.

About . this time my porters came into hearing on a path behind the rhino. Ht, pricked up his ears and blundered off in that direc- tion, I heard the loads dropping as the porters made for the trees.

Men WhoMust Wear Beards. It is one of the King's regulations that a Beefeater must wear a beard, This beard is required only on State occasions, but all members of the Yeo- men of the Guard have to report to the Adjutant at St. James's Palace for beard inspectionat certain regular in- tervals, In the Middle Ages Beefeaters used to protect and attend the Sovereign, and it was their duty to taste and •cook all food served to him.- They also had to make the King's bed. The "Yeomen Bedhangers" stuffed the mattress and arranged the cur- tains, while the "Yeomen Bedgoers" rolled on the bed to see that it was well made. The letters Y.B.H.. and Y.B.G. are still affixed to certain names on the roll. Since their institution in the reign of Henry VII. the costume of the 'Beef. eaters has varied very little, and the large ruff round the neck still forms a very important part of ft. It is the wish of the King that then Yeomenof the Guard should be repre- sentative, if possible, of every regi- ment, but most members are drawn from the Guards.. The warders of the Tower of Lon- don are also known as Beefeaters. They form a separate body and lire of more recent origin titan the Yeomen of the Guard. A Senterlee.
