But he didn’t bark a greet. ing. Instead he closed his mouth with- out uttering a sound. He began to shiver and he began to shake. That small person was ot Mrs. Impy at all. It was a stranger whom he had never seen before. However, he needed no introduction; he knew who it was with- out being told. There could be no one else so slim, so quick meving. It was Shadow the Weasel. Now, dreadful sight. He is rather pretty. He THE STAR’S DAILY PATTERN SERVICE Sheer Woolen. 1t is exceptionally well liked because of its simplicity.

Jealousy is an affliction. The child who suffers from it is very unhappy. There i, nothing funny about a heart- ache, and a child who cannot see an- other pleased and happy without grudg- ing is a suffering, tortured soul.

She's my dar- ling baby girl." up with jealou Poor Jerry is burning The blood mounts to his head, his heart feels like a lump of lead and he almost chokes. There must be some outlet for this storm and it bursts in rage. “Oh, what a naughty child! Jealous of his dear baby sister!” and the grown- up person laughs to see the weakling rage. Anybody that sees anything fun- ny in that is not in good mental health. There are some children who do not bursts. The arrival of a new baby, at- tention shown any other child, ~will bring the ugly feeling on full force One must deal gently with such chil- dren. Never speak of the fault directly if you can help it. Get at it indirectly. Jealousy is a very intimate and ex- tremely personal emotion that cannot bear a rough touch.

Inscribed with names and descriptive matter, the great stone was carefully swung into place by machinery, and President Washington, with his Masonic apron and trowel, put the mortar in place. | There was a large crowd on Capitol Hill to witness the ceremony. All felt that it marked the beginning of a great city and a great Government, dedicated to the freedom of the people. | After the procession to the Capitol and the reading of the inscription on | the stone to the audience, the Artillery | discharged a volley. The plate was then delivered to the President, who, attended by the grand | master pro t*mpore and the three most | worshipful masters of the lodge, de- scended to the trench and deposited the piate, laying it on the corner stone of the Capitol of the United States of Amcrica, on which were deposited corn, | Then the whole congre- in reverential prayer, gation joined | which was suceeeded by Masonic chant- ing honors and & volley from the Ar- tillery President Washington and his at- | tendant brethren ascended from the | trench to the east of the corner stone. Then the grand master pro tempore, | elevated on a triple rostrum, delivered an oration. All Masons present received the address with brotherly love and commendation. . At intervals during the oration, sev- eral volleys were delivered by the Ar- tillery. The ceremony came to an end with prayer. Masonic chanting honors | and a 15 volley from the Artillery. The whole company then retired to an extensive booth, where an ox of 500 peunds was barbecued, of which the | Before the | festival ended, several more successive volleys were fired from the Artillery.
