Rose petal ekirts are very effective, and can be made with small outlay of time and money Use an old dress slip for foundation ake one of nainsook cheesecloth white ,zoods, not too heavy five larze petals should be enough to encircle the lining when sewed upon it. The petals may all be of the same proportions, or gradu ted to increase in size toward the bottom of the skirt. They should be gewed on alternately, so that the points will be irregular. and not in line up and down the skirt. A green waist in tight bodice effect will give the effect of a stem or calyx, and make the costume look like an in- verted rose.

He waited around a while, hoping that she would come out again. But she didn't, and finally he went back under the barn to think things over. Now, why did she bring all those babies out to show me if she isn't Zoing to let me stay with them?” he mumbled. “It is a great note if a fellow can't go into his own house to see his own children.” Then he re membered that that wasn't his house; it was Mrs. Jimmy's. He hadn't even been inside it. “Well, the babies are mine, anyway,” he continued. *My goodness, what a lot of them! It is a real old-fashioned family. I remem- ber hearing my grandfather say that he was one of ten. But what is the good of having a family if you can't be with them? Well, anyway, I'm still free. If Mrs. Jimmy wants to bring up all those youngsters without any help I guess she is welcome to the job.” Despite this, Jimmy hung around near the henhouse a great deal. Now and then he saw the babies playing close to the doorway, but whenever he approached them they scampered inside. Now and then Mrs. Jimmy joined him in search of food, but al- ways alone. "The babies are not big enough and strong enough to take long walks,” she would explain. So the days slipped into weeks and the babies grew and Jimmy was still free. But somehow he was tiring of that free- dom. He wanted company. He wanted the company of Mrs. Jimmy and the babies. (Copyright, 1925, by T. W. Burgess.)
