J udith’s door opened cautiously, and Sarah Fell stood apologetically in the doorway. How pretty she was with her golden hair and her arms full of jade crepe de Chine! “Oh, you’re studying!” she exclaimed. “I won’t interrupt you but a moment. I just wanted to ask you which you’d have this made up with if you were I, silver or black? Or would you use both?” ’AND THE WORST IS YET TO COME THERE are thousands of beauty spots along the mighty St. Lawrence rivu, stretching an it does for upwards of a thousand miles from Lake Ontario to the ocean, but perhaps the most ideal spot on the river is between Kingston and Brockville. It is world- wide known as the Lake of the Thousand Islands be- cause of the myriads of magnificent islands that dot the river and add grandeur to this wondrous section of the St. Lawrence. It would be invidious to attempt at an extensiVe description because space will not per- mit, but Kingston was founded in the seventeenth century as a trading post. under the name of Cataraqui and in 1673 Frontenac erected a fort under his name but the Iroquois Indians destroyed it and massacred the inhabitants twenty years later. Eventually Em- pire loyalists established themselves here and called it Kingston. The Toronto-Montreal boats make a call at Kingston en route for Prescott. It was the naval base nf the British fleet operating in Lake Ontario. ‘rue said silver, Connie said black, After leaving Kingston no stretch of lmaginstldfi can describe the wonderful ksleidoscoplc View that meets the eye of the Manatosns, the garden of the great 'spirit, as the Indians describe this part of the St. Lawâ€" rence.

Here it is that our American neighbors chose to erect their summer mansions. which are poin'ted out as famous places of interest.

Wonders of the Thousand Islands “I’m not talking about money. Why don’t you decide something for your- self? Really it's heaps more fun. Oh, you’re a wheedler, and it’s awfully hard to resist you, but'somebody’s got to do it for your own good.

Hart Island stands out promi« nently, and future history will doubtless rehearse the story connected with the great mansion erected here by a wealthy American at a cost of over a million dollars and now showing signs of decay. According to the pathetic story, the huge house with its out- standing turrets, was built by a loving husband for his devoted wife, who, before its completion, died. He was so disappointed that he had neither the in- clination to finish the work or live there, and it re. {mains just an it wu at the time of her death. “Why, Judith!” Sarah exclaimed. “I mean it. We’re all in a conspir- acy to help you rob yourself, but I’m going to get out. Try standing on your own feet, Sarah, and see how ,good it feels!” “But Professor Baker said one of the reqfiisites of success is willingness [to learn from others!” Sarah exclaim- jed triumphantly. 4472.

But that doesn't mean you should go round borrowing other people’s brains to avoid using your own,” Judith retorted. “Nonsense!” Sarah replied lightly. “Go back to your old calculus. If my gown is spoiled, it will be your fault!” A week later Sarah was summoned to the dean’s office.‘ “Miss Fell,” the dean said, “I am afraid your report is going to be a shock to you this term, €472 A PRETT’i APRON FOR “MOTHER’S HELPER." favorite is Lost Lover was drowned on a fruit- so I called you in to talk it over with you.” She waited till Sarah, white of face, had read the card twice. Then, “Do you understand?” the dean asked. The girl shook her head. “It is because you are trying to live upon borrowed capital. We could not be sure of it at first, so we waited, giv- ing you the benefit of every doubt. Think it over. How many papers have you written, how many problems have you solved, how many even unimport- ant things have you decided without help from others?” “Why, Iâ€"I didn’t supposeâ€"I thoughtâ€"” Suddenly as in a dream Sarah saw Judith’s clear eyes chal- lenging her and heard Judith’s voice: “Try standing on your own feet, Sarah, and see how good it feels!” “By the time I comb my hair in the afternoon I’m just too tired to primp before a mirror,” admitted a busy country mother. “So I do it in the quickest possible way and trust to luck regarding the appearance of the back of my collar and hair.” Many. times my tired and aching feet have tended to hasten my after- noon toilet and have reminded me of my hard-working friend. So it was with surprise and interest that I re- cently saw in front of her dressing- table a rejuvenated piano stool brought down from her attic, Where it had remained in useless oblivion since superseded at the piano by a more ambitious bench. - “I cannot tell you what a comfort it is,” she explained. “I’m only pro- voked to think that I did not get it down sooner. I sit here in comfort and arrange my hair as carefully as I choose. Then I swing round and scrutinize results from all angles. “No more scolding-locks for mother! Daughter is so delighted with this one improvement that she donated the cretonne cover." Even if vanity does not prompt. a more careful toilet, every mother will appreciate the comfort this arrange- ment offers for tired feet. If the attic does not harbor one of these old swivel piano stools, one can be bought at second-hand very cheaply. And inci- dentally let me add that such a stool is exceedingly handy in the kitchen as well. THIS DOUGH WON’T STICK. The other day I saw my aunt knead- ing bread on a cloth-covered breai- board. I had never seen this done before, so asked her her reason for using the cloth. The answer was that the cloth prevents the soft dough from sticking and it can be worked up much softer than on a floured board in the ordinary way. She said it was also snlendid when cutting doughnuts, as :o be good 3} e idea is not the dough!
