NO PLAYMATE FOR EUGENE
Mother's Darling Henceforth Would
Not Associate With Wicked Little
Richard Whitney.
Mrs. Atherton had tried to impress
upon her young son, Eugene, that he
should play only with good boys.
"Mother," said Eugene, as he came
in one day, "you don't want me to
play with wicked boys, do you?"
"No, indeed," said the mother,
pleased that her son had remembered
her teachings.
"Well, if one boy kicks another lit-
tle boy, isn't it wicked for him to
kick back?"
"Yes, indeed, it is certainly very
wicked," was the mother's reply.
"Then I don't play with Richard
Whitney any more," said Eugene;
"he's too wicked. I kicked him this
morning, and he kicked me back."—

the room in such a prominent place?"

placed face to face and machine-
stitched together in a felled seam. One
corner Is then cut oft and the bag and
corner piece turned right side out.
The edges, made by cutting off the
corner, are folded over a small em-
broidery hoop and sewed down. The
bag is suspended b7 means of a fold
of the silkalene, with edges machine-
gtltched together and ends sewed to
each side of the opening.
The corner thai was cut away is
■tuffed with cotton or sawdust and
bound with tape, making i cushion for
darning needles. A little piece of
tape is sewed to one edge of it and to
the bag. attaching it to the opening.
This provides a receptacle for hosiery
that needs darning.

"Sage hen," said the waiter, not as
one offering a query, but as a person
stating a fact.
"What'a sage hen?" asked the New
Yorker. The waiter said it was a
bird, native to the desert country.
"Has it got wings?" asked the oth
er. The waiter said it had.
"Then," said the visitor decisively,
"I don't want no sage hen. I won't
eat nothing that has wings—and yet

other evening and found his three chil-
dren—a boy of seven, a girl of five
and a baby—all busy on the loor with
his new box of mild cigars.
" 'What are you doing with those
cigars?' he roared.
" 'Oh, father,' saiu the boy, pointing
to the brown tobacco remnants on the
carpet, 'we were pretendin' that they
was khaki soldiers, and we took off
their puttees, and now we can't get
them on again.'"

fin in the parlor," said klnuly Farmer
Bentover, "I couldn't help thlnkln'
how odd he looked, though I couldn't

the editorial rooms of a great news-
paper.

profound editorials on affairs of

Something new in luncheon sets is
made of stiff white silk muslin, very
small gilt cord and white and green
water color paints. It consists of a
centerpiece and twelve dollies to
match and is made in a conventional-
ized chrysanthemum design. The
doilies are small replicas of the cen
terpiece.
A large circle is cut from the mus-
lin for the centerpiece and a few
French knots, of dark yellow embrold
A small wooden rack, or one of cel-
lulcfld, such as are sold for holding
tooth brushes, a few clay pipes and
four yards of bright red baby ribon,
serve to fix up a gay little gift, holding
promise of fun for the young people.
And bubble blowing is not beneath
the dignity of their elders; everyone
indulges in this pastime.
Two other pipes may be suspended
from this rack by shorter lengths of
ribbon and the man who prefers to
blow smoke to bubbles will like a rack
which holds a fresh pipe or one he
may offer his friend.
