He | wandered on along the bank of the | Laughing Brook, down through the little swamp at the head of the Smiling | S8 ! Pool, and there he spent some little | § 2 | time hunting for frogs. Finally, he | went out where he could look over the Smiling Pool. Right away he saw something of interest. It was of very | great interest. Anyway, it was to Unc’ Billy. What was it? Why, it was Mrs. | Quack getting her dinner of yellow corn that Farmer Brown's Boy had left at the Smiling Pool. Unc' Billy recog- nized her at once. He climbed up in a little tree where he could watch better. A cunning look crept into those little eyes of his. “Ah wonder if there’s anythin’ the matter with Mrs. Quack,” sald he to| himself. “If there isn't, what is she | | doin’ here in the Smilin’ Pool? She's |got no business hyar. She should be | way up in the Far No'th by now. Ah craves to know why she is hyar in the | Smilin’ Pool. Ah reckon AR'll jest pay | her a little visit.” So Unc’ Billy climbed down the trunk of the tree and made his way around on the bank of the Smiling Pool until he had reached the place where Mrs. Quack was eating her dinner. “Good evening, Sis' Mallard,” sald Unc’ Billy in his most polite manner. “Good evening, Unc' Billy,” replied Mrs. Quack. “What are you doing over here at the Smiling Pool?” Unc’ Billy grinned. “Ah was jest goin’ to ask you that ve'y same question,” said he. “Ah thought you and Mr. | Quack flew No'th long ago.” “Well, you see we didn't” replied Mrs. Quack. “The Smiling Pool was so inviting that we decided to stay here a while. It's a very pleasant place here, Unc’ Billy. I hope you are feeling as well as you look.” “Qh, Ah's feelin' all right,” replied EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, THE SONNYSAYINGS BY FANNY Y. CORY.

You can make these your- self, Buy a pound of Fuller’s earth, which gives you enough for four differ- ent treatments, or even five. Add enough witch hazel or a half-and-half mixture of fresh peroxide and witch hazel, or even plain water, to make the earth into a thick sort of cream. Having washed the face thoroughly with Castile soap (make it into a lather) and hot water, with a long rinse of hot water, you apply the cream, lie down while it dries for about 20 minutes, wash off the stuff, getting all of it off the skin with water preferably softened with oat- meal powder. This draws out black- heads and such impurities and is a good thing for wrinkles and sagging muscles. But a couple of times a week is enough to use it, and if the skin is dry after a treatment, fine almond oil should be rubbed in and wiped gently off with a towel. I prefer white of egg masks and corn- meal masks, and such things, as being less strenuous a skin treatment. The clay ck, usually expensive in even second-class beauty shops, has its vir- tues, especially for blackheads, but you must not overdo it. Mrs. G.

Une’ Billy Possum was wandering down along the Laughing Brook. Every now and then he stopped to pull over & stone along the brook, to see if he could find some insects under it. Once he was quick enough to scoop a min- how out of a little pool. ‘Unc' Billy was thinking of eggs. He sure was egg hungry. “Ah wants some aigs,” said Une' Billy to himself in a querulous sort TEN MISTAKES WOMEN MAKE IN MARRIAGE. (Conclusion.) 4 TH'E sixth mistake that women make in marriage is in not realizing that the question whether they make a success or a failure of their marriages depends are. There may be an occasional inking and plain living and who largely upon what kind of housekeepers they - him on | rara avis of a husband who is all for high | more concerned with the sort of intellectual nourishment his wife feeds than he is in the kind of bread she makes. Possibly Romeo could have made impassioned love to Juliet across a table | | on which was burned meat and underdone potatoes and mcg.pu. but the aver- age man has more stomach than heart, and when he finds that his bride is not on speaking terms with the gas range or the vacuum cleaner, it deals his affec- tion a solar plexus blow from which it never recovers. ‘The old rule for holding a husband, “Feed the brute,” has never been im- | | proved upon. Men grov blind to beauty. They weary of it. They Lecome | impervious to arts and graces, but they are hungry three times a day. They never cease to crave comfort or the peace and quiet of a well ordered, well run, bright and cheerful home. The woman who is a first-class cook brews a spell in her pots and pans that binds a man to his own fireside. | ‘The seventh mistake that women make in marriage is in expecting too much of their husbands and of marriage in general, If they could only bring them- ‘szlves to accept their husbands “as is.” as the shipping manifests say, most of them would be happy and content and bless heaven for what they have, instead of being disgruntled and dissatisfied The eighth mistake that women make in marriage is in throwing away the bait with which they caught their husbands. Every woman knows that When she was trying to lure her particular John up to the proposing point she dolled herself up and put her best foot foremost; that she was so amiable that butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth; that she listened to everything that John had to say with bated breath, and that if he had a fault she never let him know that she e ' ITTLE SISTER i But, alas, after marriage she drops all of these allurements. She doesn't L bother to dress herself up for a mere husband; she develops nerves and temper lndh:he spends her time calling his attention to his weaknesses and short- comings. ‘The ninth mistake that women make in marriage is in throwing mother in their husbands’ teeth. Young husbands are full of egotism and their most cherished belief is that the sweet little girls they have married regard them as oracles who are capable of settling offhand every problem on earth. Picture, then, their dismay when they find out that their brides pass lflhfl% opinions and turn to mother as the infallible dispenser of wisdom. It is a blow to the bridegroom’s vanity from which he never recovers, and it is the real reason why mother-in-law is nearly always persona non grata to her son-in-law. The tenth mistake that women make in marriage and the most fatal of all is when they cease fo be lovers, when they quit trying to vamp their husbands, l\l‘h'{)fl t[liv_vk ut cold cream on their faces at might and turn an ear for their husbands’ ‘Turkish baths, ‘beauty parlors, a full- size tennis court and two stages for theatrical and other performances are features of a new Atlantic liner which will be launched this spring.

She stood on her head in the water while she got some more of that good corn that was down in the mud. Then she looked up at Unc’ Billy and said: “Well, I guess I must be going along. I hope you'll catch a good dinner, Unc’ Billy.” She headed for the place where the Laughing Brook leaves the Smiling Pool to make its way to the Big River. The Black Shadows were deep and very, very black then, When she entered these and knew that she was out of sight of Unc’ Billy, she hid between some tussocks of grass.

If I were far away and transported secretly by night, I should know on waking, if I heard the half, yes, even the quarter, of a song Spar- row's melody, that I was home again. It is a lay so American, so free and airy and light and hopeful, that I would like to name him for the national bird. I never heard a better rendering in words of the song sparrow’s chinking laughter than “Maids, maids, maids, put on your tea kettle-ettle-ettle.” But even this is quite inaccurate. The notes of the song sparrow are like the jlngllng of a water rill running through ol stone masonry. No, they are gayer than that. The song sparrow is ouly like himself. Yet even that conveys no idea of his individuality, for I never heard a song sparrow who sang like his brother. Though every one is, of course, an in- dividual and not identically like any other, still in the matter of music it is hard to see how a pewee could vary his song appreciably and remain in his species. Marked is the individuality of many of the most glorious songsters. I never heard, of course, a song as varied as the nightingale’s, though believe that the mocking bird is scarcely inferior. All cat birds sing differently. Brown thrashers, thrushes, wrens, bobolinks, cardinals and orioles have repeatedly pointed to me how unlike they were in vocalization, even to their nearest kin, and the most unstandardized of all is master song sparrow—gay, tame, and yet untamable, MOTHERS Easter Egg Novelty.
