“ae " eome intoxicated? t HIS SMALL KINGDOM OF YOUTH FOR A PAIR OF SHOES BY CYNTHIA GREY School days are very near; but they are not the only thing} that are near—little thirteen-year-old Raymond's feet are very, very near to the grey pavement made cold and damp by the fall dew. Raymond wants a pair of shoes worse than he ever wanted anything else in all his childish life, He, to- ether with Elsie and the twins, who have been going bare- loot during warm summer months, are practically shoeless. The ambitious father of these kiddies, forced by his ad- vanced condition to enter the tuberculosis sanitarium, left the little family dependent upon the mother’s earnings—insuffi- cient to buy shoes for these sturdy, growing youngsters—and tiny clothes for the new baby expected soon. fe The Social Welfare league is helping to meet the living ex- penses of the famil; nd would like to “pack” the children off to school properly shod and welcome the baby with warm clothing. This may be accomplished only with the aid of gen- erous citizens whose children have outgrown their shoes or whose tiny baby has grown up. : This is only one of the 850 families the Social Welfare league is caring for, and because the funds are completely ex- hausted cannot supply even the necessities of food and rent, let alone clothing. But tho the league is completely out of funds, it has no intention of turning any family from tts doors without help. They are depending upon the public to come to their assistance. There will be no financial drive if it is pos- sible to avoid it. They hope to get sufficient funds thru ap- peal letters and the spontaneous gifts of people who read these articles. Those citizens who do not already know of the good work our league is doing under the direction of Evelyn Gail Gar- ner, backed by public spirited residents and tireless workers, should become acquainted with it. . They are 100 per cent square. They are not a charitable institution in the sense the word charity is today used. They are humanitarian, helping others to help themselves. Their work is an book, and it speaks for itself, as all good werk event does. ’ If you are interested in helping this work along, if you have shoes or other clothing you no longer need, take it or Bend it to 301 Central Bldg., Third ave. at Columbia st. ! feel sure someone is going to give Raymond that pair of shoes at any <9 (New York's Fashion Authority) Here are two versions of the town blouse, which ts still increasing in popularity.

In Queen Elizabeth's time ft was uned widely for dressing wounds and cuts. At the present time it is used Medicinally to relieve nausea and spasmodic paina. A legend tells the origin of the goldenrod. An ol Indian equaw lived in @ little but near a lake and a Sreat pine forest. All day she sat tn front of her little hut weaving bas- kote, but no one know what she did with them. She had lived there so jong that people began to tell strange tales about her and it was said that ie had the power to change people ito plants or mala, CORN MOCK OYSTERS Grate corn, Beat exmn with milk.

One had beautiful golden hair and the other deep blue eyes, They had heard of the old Indian squaw and were discussing what they would | like to be: Golden-hair wanted to be something that would make every: one who saw it happy and cheerful, while blueeyes only wished to be near her. Finally they came to the equaw's hut and told her of their re- quest, The old woman gave each one &@ corn cake and told them to come into the hut and eat tt. The wirls were never seen again, but the next morning two new flowers were found sprinkled over the fields and prairies, One was the slender gold enrod and the other the purple aster, epene, wit! bo rmatioa Department, \ jealth Service, Washington, D. ©.

BRUSSELS LACE Brussels lace, which surpasses in beauty even the famous Irish point, is coming on the market again. ‘The Flemish lace industry lapsed during the war as it was carried on mainly in the present devastated regions along the Yser valley and té the north and east of Ypres, Approximately 60,000 women earned a living in this way. They were instructed by nuns in some 160 schools of lace making, which are located in convents.
