There is such a thing as being too thrifty Yes, sir, there is. take foolish risks because of thrift are too thrift It was because he was too thrifty that Happy Squirrel was very nearly caught and then got into trouble. Happy Jack hadn't stopped long to talk with Peter Rabbit, who was sit- ting in the bramble-tangle on the the Green Forest Happy ste time talking. He is too thrifty for that. So he soon T HE SAW THAT HAPPY JACK WAS GETTING FARTHER A} THER AWAY FROM THE TREES. started running about, looking for more nuts buried under the Snow. How he knew where they were Peter couldn't understand, But it was clear that he did know. He denly op, begin to dig in the snow, and presently up he would come with a nut. He was so intent on hunting for those nuts that he grew careless. He got farther and farther away from the trees Now, unseen b Fox had come s Green Forest.

Every time Jappy Jack's back was turned to him | he would steal forward swiftly, He saw 1at Happy Jack was so busy hunting for nuts’that he had forgotten to watch out. He saw that Happy Jack was getting farther and farther away from the trees. Reddy grinned and licked his lips. Hunger and eagerness showed in his eyes. If only Happy Jack would get far enough away from a tree Reddy knew that he would catch him. You see Reddy can run much faster than Happy Jack. At last Happy Jack started to dig in the snow at some distance from the nearest -tree, and that tree was a| small one. Reddy walted until he could see only Happy Jack's tail above the snow. Then swiftly he crept forward, his eyes fixed on that big, gray tail. It was then that Peter Rabbit saw him for the first time. You know Peter was in the bramble-tangle look- ing out. Peter saw Happy Jack's dan- ger. His heart seemed to. jump right up in his throat. “Oh!" cried Peter under his breath. “Happy Jack will be caught!” Then Peter thumped with | his hind feet. It was his danger sig- | nal. 4anstantly Happy Jack popped out of that hole in the snow. Of course he saw Reddy Fox, and of course he started for the nearest tree as fast a8 his legs could take him. Of course Reddy Fox started after him as fast #3 his legs 0GR thks ey~ We Fetar | quickly | mediums, and therefore it is recom- | jor tin. Those who | Jack | would sud- | smallest accessories, surely it is well worth while to see to it that even 80 diminutive an affair as a handker- chief be of the finest and daintlest to be had. The handw®tk upon these mou- choirs makes them expensive to buy, but the materlals themselves are within the reach of all. A nice grade of China silk, bought by the yard, is most popular for the painted hand- kerchief. Take account of the width of the silk in determining the dimensions of the squares, so that there will be no waste. Four hand- kerchiefs, eight or nine inches square, can be made from a quarter of a yard of silk that is 36 inches wide. The difference in ‘the size of the handkerchief is according to whether you have the edgo picoted or hemmed.” A hemmed edge requires more goods, of course. Fortunately picot is the preferred finish. It is good economy to make a num- ber of these handkerchiefs at one time. A yard of material, hem- stitched in squares and cut through the center of the stitching, gives 16 picoted handkerchlefs at small cost. It must be remembered that the| stitching extends along the selvages to -complete the plcoted finish all around some of the squares. This must be allowed for when calculating. Women's handkerchiefs range from | 10 inches square to -small glove, handkerchiefs, but painted gilk styles | are seldom the largest or the small- | est sizes. The 9-inch or 9%-inch squares are excelent. | Paints, Brushes, Ete. | Oil paints are used and water- | color brushes, the latter because they | make finer points than the stiff| bristles of ofl brushes. Tiny tubes of | { oil paints contalning colors, and one | of white, and a cup of gasoline are | essentlals. Gasoline dries more | than the usual thinning | mended. However, if there is a fire | in the room or an exposed fet of | light, substitute some non-inflam- mable fluid of the same nature, thus insuring safety.

Put in all the paint of one shade at onec time, cleanse the brush by dipping in the gasoline and wiping dry, and then ap- ply another color.

Before applying a color to the silk, try it out on a bit of the fabric fastened somewhere along the edge of the blotter-covered Board. When the color is right and the paint is of the proper consistency, start work on the design. BY THORNTON ¥. BURGESS Rabbit it seemed as if Happy Jack| never had moved so slowly. “Run Happy Jack, run! Oh, run!” crled Peter. Happy Jack was running. He was| doing his very best. But Reddy Fox was running so much faster that it| seemed as if Happy Jack were hardly | moving. Would he be able to reach | that little tree before Reddy Fox could catch him? It dldn't look so. No, sir, it didn’t look so, Peter was sure he couldn’t. But he did. Reddy Fox was within | one jump of him when Happy Jack reached that little tree and whisked | up it. Never in his life had he had a | narrower escape. His heart was thumping against his side as. if it would thump its way out. He looked | down at Reddy Fox. Reddy glared up at him. Then Happy Jack began to ecold. He called Reddy Wox all| the bad names he could think of, and, listening to him, Peter Rabbit chuckled. Happy Jack certainly had a sharp tongue.

SOURCE—A personal characteristic, This family name 1s also found in the older forms of Blythman and Blithman. And its meaning really is what you might hesitate to suspect, “cheerful” or “happy.” It belongs in that classification of family names which were originally descriptive of some personal charac- teristic, in this case a characteristic of temperament. Some people find it difficult to see how such apparently “silly” nick- names were so common or 8o well thought of that they later developed into regular family names. The fact remains, however, that they did. No less a personage than Joan, sister of King Henry III of England, when she became betrothed to the Scottish monarch, thereby ending war between the two countries, was named “Joan Make-Peace" by the Scots, and' the old records are full of such descriptiv surnames as “Goode,” “Merry,” “Gay, “Blythe, ‘Make-Blisse” and the like.

A MOT-TEMPERED DUTCHMAN WHO WAS CALLED WILLIAM THE TESTY = HIS TERM OP OFFICE WAS MARKED BY MUCH TROUBLE AND CONFUSION. HE AROUSED THE HATRED OF THE INDIANS AND | QUARRRLED WITH THE ENGLISH ON THE CONNECTICUT. FEATURES. Our Children—By Angelo Patri Parent-Teacher Association. The first teaching given the chil- dren is done at home by thelr mothe Mothers are the first teach- ers, the last teachers and' the all- time teachers. The school teachers aro fillers who do the odd jobs left by the master teachers of the home. If you have that idea the other way round, you are Wrong. The instruction of the first five years is the most important of the child’s career. During that period the tendencles of the children are set, the basis of thelr habits, the trafts of character, all laid at home by the mother and the family. The teacher takes over the job to help a little, not to revolutionize, not to undo the work of the home. She cannot if she would. But if the child has been set one way at home and the teacher tried to set him another in the school, con- fusion and worse is bound to set in. Don’t you see that if the teacher has one standard for work and conduct and the home has another and a dif- fering one, there will be no content for the child all his school life? The mother and fatber are re- sponsible for the growth of thelr children and it is right that the teacher should know what: they ex- pect of her and how they expect it accomplished. It Is right that she should know what the principles of training have been, so that she can follow ~them and continue their growth instead of wrecking the plan. It is right and wise that the par-| ents should know just what the school has to offer the children and how they intend to set about glving it. It i rather late in the day to find that your child will be graduated next term and without the qualifica- tions that entitle him to enter the school you have selected for him or without the experiences that might enable him to tackle intelligently the job that is waliting for him The education of children 1s of necessity a partnership affair between the school and the home, betwean the mother and the teacher primarily. One is as dependent upon the other as one hand is upon the other, and it won't do in this case to keep the one from knowing what the other is doing. They must meet on the job That is why parent-teacher asso- ciations are a necessary part of the school administration. There must be intelligent understanding botween teachers and parents about what is WHE« THE INDIANS ATTACKED THE DUTCH POSTS, OVERNOR IIEFT HIRED CAPTAIN UNDERKILL, OF NEW ENGLAND TO RAISE A FORCE AND MARCH AGAINST THEM, —— « UNDERHILL WITH ONLY 150 MEN SURPRISED AND WIPED OULT TRE VILLAGE OF THE INDIANS AND KILLED 500 REDSKINS ..
