DIANA BUYS A HAT. “You haven't said anything about my new hat," Eve declared. “I was a goose to wear it!" “You won not a goose!" Diana re- torted. “I’d have seen it sooner or later. But you know that I think that your eyebrows are too lovely to hide.” Eve glanced in the glass; there was a shadow of discontent on her pretty face. "You look like such a freak if you don’t wear things the way every- body else does. And besides, you can't get anything else!" “It isn’t the hat I object to," said Diana; “it’s the angle. As for getting anything else, I had just decided be- fore you came in that I would go on a real adventure lo-morrow. It will be a search for an honest woman. You see I know that it is horribly unbe- coming to wear my hats on the bridge cf my nose. I’m going to see if I can find one woman who will have the courage to tell me so. Do come along!” 'At ten o’ciock the next day Eve, with the look of one fascinated against her will, stepped into Diana’s coupe. Diana shot a teasing glance at her as she pressed the starter. “Sure you don’t want to back out?" “Certainly not!" Eve replied. They went to Camille’s first. A won- derful young Woman swept forward to meet them. Certainly she had the exact thing for mademoiselleâ€"so simple yet so chic! She pressed the marvel slowly down over Diana’s lovely hair, forehead, one eyeâ€"â€" “Why should I suffer because other people are willing to?” inquired Diana. “Haven’t you anything that stops a trifle above the eyebrows?" “Help!” Diana gasped. “I have to leave my nose outâ€"to breathe with, you know.” The young woman stiffened. “But certainly not," she replied. The young woman was shocked. “But, mademoiselle, the styleâ€"” Diana rose cheerfully. “Sorry,” she said. “I’ll come back when the fashion changes." Eve was triumphant. “What did I tell you!” she cried. But Diana only laughed. Two hours later in Morrow’s she glanced round and chose her sales- woman, a girl with steady pleasant eyes. At first the procedure was the same, but at the third trial Diana looked up. “I want to ask you to do something. Will you please show me Where, with due consideration for my eyes and nose and mouth, I ought to wear my hat? Do you dare?" . The girl's eyes brightened. She placed a hat quickly above Diana’s dear straight brows. “For youâ€"â€" there," she replied firmly. “But you are the first customer who ever asked me." Di-ana turned to Eve. “There’s your honest woman," she said. DOORS. Recently I visited in a home where lhe pantry door lacked a knob and, fit- ting in closely as it did, much time was required to get it open. Yet dur- in: my stay the housewife opened that stubborn door several times, requiring a‘ least two minutes each time in tedious pushing and mnving abc it either way in order to persuade it to open. I gave the lady my recipe for such casesâ€"just a small leather loop, cut from the top of an old shoe and held firmly in place with tacks. Less than five minutes would be required for cutting and nailing in place. Or a spool sawed in half and one part of it fastened on with a screw of proper length would make a handy knob. Another door in the same house had shrunk away from the frame until it failed to latch; this door, too, was closed a number of times, and each time a bit of cloth was folded, held in place with one hand and the door closâ€" ed wlth the other. stubborn door several times, requiring l as. least two minutes each time in turn them upside down to cool after-j tedious pushing and moving abc it: they are sealed, and they keep just as‘ either way in order to persuade it. to[ well if only partly full of lard or open.

Best of all, the children could tell me the story almost word for word from the pic- tures. 4934. The Tunic is this season’s most attractive feature.

This can easily Pick up the three cards with your right hand. holding them, as it they were only one card.

Hold the pack with the other hand. the three of hearts toward the spectators. Show that the threeds on the pack and the four in your right hand. Rub the face of the tour against the face of the three. The three changes to a two, the heart in the center seemingly joining itself to the four because that card changes to a. five. The trick is that when the rein- forced four is placed on the pack, the right hand carries away only the five. Try the trick with the cards in your hands and it will present no difficulties.

And oft you will hear the farmer, while plowing in his field. or the shepherd boy guarding his flock. sing one of those old songs which they love.

[Hospital for Sick Children 87 COLLEGE 57., TORONTO l Dear Mr. Editor:â€" ! Your readers have probably “had ‘their appetite for statistics satiated during the past few months. Still they will. no doubt, want to know something of the work accomplished by the hospital to which they have so generously contributed in the past. They are shareholders in a Mission of Mercy. Their dividends are not paid in coin of the realm. May I trespass upon your space to outline what those dividends are? Firstly, the daily average of chil- dren occupying cots in the Hospital for Sick Children was 255. The total cared r as in-patients was 6,397. That is equivalent to the population of a good-sized Ontario town. Here is a. synopsis of the musical proclivities of the great French Cana- dian race, as told by one who spent seVeraI years studying the customs down in Quebec and the Maritime Pro- vinces: Music Plays a Great Part i Life of F rench-Canadian.
