The hot- ter the fire then becomes the more the cement will melt and combine with its metallic ingredients and thc more completely will the crack be- come closed. To Mend China and Crockery—One of the strongest cements for this pur- pose, and the most easily applied. Is a mixture of lime and the white of an egE. To use it take a sufficient quan- tity of the egg to mend one article at a time. shave off a quantity of lime and mix thoroughly. Apply quickly to the edges of the article to be mended and place firmly together. It will very soon become set and strong. To Mend Glassware.—Dissolve some shellac in alcohol to ahout the con- sistency of molasses, and with a thin splinter of wood or a pencil brush touch the edges of the broken glass- ware. In a short time it will set without anv heating. This cement will stand good wear, but not boiling water.

Tove dares all and counts as naught A deed that is with danger fraught. —Old Mother Nature, There is just as strong mother love among the strongest and flercest of the people who wear feathers and fur as among the gentlest. You re- member how Hooty the Great Horned Owl and Mrs. Hooty did not hesitate to attack Farmer Brown's Boy when they discovered him at their nest in the Green Forest. You remember how he carried away one of the two babies. Neither Hooty nor Mrs. Hooty followed him far. They did not dare leave unprotected the one baby left. EVERY NIGHT THEREAFTER SHE BROUGHT A SHARE OF THE ¥OOD THAT WAS CAUGHT. But Mrs. Hooty did not forget her Jost baby. She grieved for it and every chance she got she flew this way and that, looking for it. With only one baby to feed it was easier to catch food enough, and so she had more time in which to look for her lost baby. Far and wide she flew every night. Of course, she knew who had taken that baby. and so at Jast she decided to visit Farmer Brown's. On her great, silent wings she flew over to Farmer Brown's doorvard. She alighted on the top of the barn, and there she sat, look- ing and listening. She flew over to the roof of the house and sat there awhile, looking and llstening. alighted on the.roof of that.

The glorious popularity of bright color during the last year or two gives us a chance to make our sum- mer environment one of gayv bold- ness.

March winds are often more disastrous than February frosts to the girl with a sensitive SKieh a girl will need some sort of lip salve up to the very warm days of spring. Indeed if the summer is very hot she will probably find that the sun will dry and chap her lips as well as wet wind and winter cold. Now, the ordinary lip rouge may keep E from chapping. but it has many disadvantages. The ~warmer the weather the more it shows up. Indeed, there s never any way of disgulsing the fact that the lips have been touched with red. It comes off on the handkerchief or the table nap- kin or it rubs against the veil of the hat. It leaves its scarlet mark against anything it touches. Be- sides, unless it is put on with more Skill than ninety women out of one hundred possess, it makes the face look made-up. The lips vary so in color that it is almost impossible to match their ex- Act tint, so consequently all our Women go about with dark, medium or bright vermilion mouths, the three Shades found in beauty shops, all of them tending to the conventional cupid's bow shape with a varying outer line of paler natural color lips. You may think I am overcritical in saying this, but then it is my busi- ness to be so; and if you yourself will observe as carefully as T you will see how tinted lips tend to mo- notony. The way around the difficulty, in my opinfon, is to buy the untinted lip- sticks, made of white lip cream, which does not easily come off, which does not mark when it does come off, which keeps the lips soft and protects them from the weather. ‘ A Girl—"Bitter aloes™ Is the nams fand especially for the children, but ,World!

Guess she's come!” That was all that happened for a long time, for the lady that lived in the little house was shy and the neighbors didn’t understand her. When once in a long time they passed her on the road, she smiled shyly at them and stepped aside to let them pass. One day Peggy Robins rushed pant- ing to her mother: “Oh, mother, I fell into the old mald's garden, and oh, she’'s lovely, and oh, you ought to see her house, and oh, she says will you come over and will you let me g0 back, and oh, she knows all the stories, and oh, and oh!" You see, the little brown house was the workshop of a great story teller, and she was longing to open her doors and her heart to her neighbors, she was too shy and thought they didn't want to know her.

The result was the popular story, “The King of the Gold- en River.” Seven years later he mar- ried Miss Gray. Euphemia Gray was a very beaut!i- ful young woman and fond of clothes and society. Ruskin was absorbed in his work and gave little heed to amusement. But in his own way he loved his wife, as this poetic declara- tion of his feelings. written on theoc- casion of her birthday, shows: Thorn and meadow grass, sweet sister, Twine them as I Deemest thou s darksome garland for thy natal day? Thou thyself art fairer, sister, Il the flowers in May! brought thee buds This is the only love writing that we have from Ruskin to Miss Gray. Subsequent events made both families jealously guard all correspondence between the pair. At that time Ruskin tool under his protection the painter Millais, and a friendship was formed betwecen the two men. This friendship resulted in a love between Millais and Mrs. Rus- kin, and one day, six vears after their marriage, Mrs. Ruskin left her home and went back to her parents. She immediately sued for a divorce, ob- tained it and married Millals. Rus- kin had thought it best to resign from the triangle without offering opposi- tion.

The “u” in the second syllable, as well as the “k” in- stead of “h” in “brouck.” is also at- tributable to northern influence, for the German word is “bruch.,” not to be confused with the German “bruck,” or bridge.
