' MCGLASHAN 500 North Kentucky. Sacks, Bottles, Rubber, Iron, etc. - Bring Us Your Junk. - Buys DAINTY HOLDER FOR TEAPOT Attractive Design That Presents Few Difficulties to Girl Clever With the Needle. Our sketch shows a teapot holder of a particularly pretty and dainty design that would be sure to prove attractive and sell well in a bazaar or shop. It is carried out in silk, and bound at the edges with ribbon. To make it, first cut out two oval pieces of silk measuring five and & half inches by six inches, and then cut them into curves at the edges. e— SX /ncHES — The pretty floral 'design shown ap- pears upon one side of the holder only, and consists of a white Tudor rose worked in each of the curves, and be- tween the roses there are two tiny green leaves. In the center of the holder there is a single blossom sur rounded by four leaves. The detail of the design is clearly given in the diagram at the top of the’sketch. A loop of white ribbon is provided for hanging up the holder. For the interior of the holder two or three pieces of kid from the arm of long gloves can be used. They should be cut out in exactly the sasme shape as the two pleces of silk, and placed between them, and the whole thing bound together with narrow ribbon. ADVICE FOR STOUT WOMEN Things to Avoid and Things That Are Calculated to Improve the Appearance. Never wear shiny stuffs such as sat- | in. They catch the light on the curves * of your figure and make you look much stouter than you really are. Soft dull stuffs are the right things for you, Never wear a blouse of one stuft and the skirt of another, ‘but always have whole dresses or costumes. A :contrasting vest, collar or front om a dark dress is quite allowable. Wear stripes or plain stuffs rather than checks or flowered patterns. Don’t have a contrasting belt—it cuts you in two, and, by taking away from your height, increases your apparent width. Wear low collars. High ones are very unbecoming to a thick throat, and besides, you are nearly sure to have a pretty neck—most stout peo- ple have—so you may as well show it. Let your indoor skirts touch the ground always. Have them made close- fitting on the hips with a good flare- out at the foot. A skirt which draws in round the feet always increases the apparent size of the hips. Don't wear gray, pale pink, pale blue or pale violet. White and cream, if they are dull, sometimes help to make the figure seem slim, but pale pastel shades are always very broadening. Your best colors are black, mole and the darker shades of blue, brown, green, red or purple, acording to your complexion. & 5 BOBDOBYI IR EbbPD i Fresh Norfolk Oysters, quart 60C Thirty Cents a Pint B T Y Peanut Brittle - 20c. 1b.

Certain it was that the dingy room which served as an office for Mrs. Huggins' fltth-clu: lodging house had never been grace: by so ‘neat and smart and altogether charming a person as Miss Hiller. Cer- tain it also was that Nina never had dreamed there were so many unutter- able kinds of dirt as she saw about her. Mrs. Huggins was inclined at firsC to be a bit belligerent, but Nina's per- fect frankness and gentleness dis- armed her. As for Nina, her lips trem- bled just for the fraction of a moment as she contrasted the cheerless place with the neat and comfortable country home she had left. “Do you have furniehed rooms to rent?” she inquired. “I do,” replied Mrs. Huggins shortly. “May I see one?” persisted Nina. “What for?” rejoined Mrs. Huggins. “] am looking for a room,” replied the girl. Mrs. Huggins gasped in surprise. “There's plenty vacant, the Lord knows,” she sald, “but they ain’t hardly your kind.” “I am not very particular so long as the place is respectable and the rent is not high,” said the girl, “Respectable,” snorted Mrs. Hug- gins; “I never ran no place that wan’t respectable.” “I'm sure of that,” the girl hastened to say. “I—I only meant that was why 1 came here.” “Well, it's cheap enough,” went on the landlady. “Goodness knows, it has to be. There don’t seem to be no money any more. I have to take what folks can afford to pay.” Then she looked shyly at the girl and sald with rough kindness: “I really think you might find a place you would like better. It's only poor folks that put up here.” “l am very poor,” replied Nina sim- ply. Then, noting Mra. Huggins’ keen glances at her neat and tasty clothes, and more especially at her gloves and rather stylish hat, she smiled and added: “I am from the country. My parents died very recently and left me alone, and there was not much left atter the bills were paid.” “The city is a poor place to come,” replied Mrs, Huggius grimly, but not unkindly. “Goodness knows there's a plenty here now tryin’ to keep eoul and body together. If you've got any do to keep an honest roof over your head. There's an army of 'em here walkin' the streets, lookin’ for work— and it's a bad business for a young girl and a purty one like you, a-gettin’ discouraged and hungry and lonesome and all that.” The girl blushed and smiled a brave, confident little smile. “lI hed a good mother and a good father,” she said with quiet dignity, “and 1 am sure I will do nothing to disgrace them. I have no doubt at all but I will ind work to do and that 1 will get on famously.” The upshot of it all was that Nina became established in a dingy room on the second floor with two dingy windows. There was a dingy carpet on the floor and a meager quantity of dingy furniture. There was also a neglected fireplace in the corner. It was all so hopeless and squalid that it required all Nina’s courage to face it. ‘While walting for her trunk the new- comer went out and returned with an armful of packages which fllled the person of Mrs. Huggins with burning curiosity. A boy followed her with a good-sized box. Mysterious gounds came from the room of the new lodger. Presently a coal man carried several sacks of coal to the room. This was the straw that broke the landlady’s back, so to speak. She simply had to g0 up and see what was going on. If curiosity filled her before she opened the door astonishment pre- vailed when she gazed at the trans- formed apartment. The windows were washed inside and out, the carpet brightened up, all the furniture wiped and cleaned, a dainty coverlet was on the bed and a score of pretty and ar- tistic things were tastefully placed about the room. And in the grate a fire was burning smartly. The entire effect was most homelike and cheer- ful. Mrs. Huggins could scarcely be- lieve it was her own house. She never had seen anything like it—ecertainly nothing even suggesting it there, “Are you goin’ to have a fire all the time?” demanded Mrs, Huggins. “Coal does cost a lot.” “I'm going to try to be comfortable,” replied the girl. “I think I can earn enough to keep warm and have enough to eat.” The miracle was duly announced to various of the lodgers, as they came in that evening, principally in the form of admonitions given with more or less vehemence by Mrs. Huggine, “No more rough house in No. 12" she sald sharply to Rose and Madge, two bindery girls, who occupied the next room to the new lodger. “Of course I know there ain't been no harm in it, but there's been a lot of nojse. Let the fellers take you to a dance if you want to make a racket. As long as we've got a real leddy we won't scare her out.” friends in the country you'd better go | Was carried away.

Under the friendly chatter of the new lodger they thawed out and remained a long time, telling the little stories of their narrow lives. One by one all of the lodgers were invited into the transformed room and went forth with great friendliness and respect for the gentle girl who was 8o ‘different from them all. And one by onme the rooms of all t:leoll?b‘e.r: to take on a new atm ;ev‘: Mrs. Huggins swept the halls twice a week and once was seen to actually scrub them. Nina helped all with suggestions and with the work of her hands. The two bindery girls spent much of their epare time mak- ing things for their room after they were shown how it could be done with practically no expense for material. In the meantime the new lodger had gone out only two days looking for work before ste angounced joyously that she had secured a position in & néwspaper clipping bureau. To be sure the pay was very small and the work hard and the color faded from her cheeks, but she made enough to pay her room rent and live frugally and add a little all the time to the comfort of her own room and of those about her. And there came to be little gather- ings of the lodgers in the various rooms, but generally in Miss Hiller’s, where there were famous little sup- pers cooked over the grate fire, and to which all contributed their mite. And there came to be talk of books which led to the reading of books. And the girls learned to sew and to make clothes and hats for themselves, and —in short, Mrs. Huggins' boarding house came to be the abiding place of a crowd of well-dressed, well-in- formed and self-respecting people. And all this happened without essen- tial increase in the wages of the people—excepting that aroused ambi- tion led to better work and Ed Root became foreman in the shop where he worked and Rose became the fore- woman of her bindery, and there were other advancements which quite sur- prised those concerned and delighted the little home community. Also was there marrying and giving in marriage when Ed Root married Madge and set up a home in a little flat around the corner. Then came one sad day when the princess who wrought all this magic arms before all the company and chided her sternly for hiding herself from her friends and from him. It was quite a romance as the story came out, but the stern parent now was dead and the prince had come into his own. “I would not have missed my expe- rience here for anything in the world,” she said, with tears in her eyes as she kissed Mrs, Huggins good-by. __ The spirit she injected into the Huggins lodging house still abides, and many there are who called her blessed. (Copyright, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) HELPS THE IVORY WORKER Rat in Its Search for Toothsome Mor- sel Unwittingly Gives Aid to the Carver. There is a curious but little-known fact that well illustrates the ravages that rats can inflict on the hardest substances with thelr sharp little teeth. Many of the elephants’ tusks import- ed into London for the use of ivory- ornament makers have their surfacés grooved into small furrows of unequal depth, as if cut by a very sharp-edged instrument. Surely no man can have taken the trouble to do that, for what would be the profit of his labor? The rats are at the bottom of the mischief. They have found out the tusks that contain the most gelatin or animal glue, a sweet and deliclous morsel for the rat's dainty palate; and having gnawed away as much as suited their purpose, have left the rest for the ivory-cutter. He, for his part, is able and willing to profit by the fact that the rats have made clear. The Ivory that contains a large amount of gelatin is softer and more elastic than that which does not; and as elasticity is the thing most needed for billiard balls, the ivory-worker chooses this rat-marked ivory, and turns it into beautiful, elastic billiard balls. The elasticity of some of the balls is so great that if thrown down forcibly on a hard pavement they will rebound into the hand to the height ot three or four feet—Youti’s Com- panion.
