WATER HO!

At s place less than a dozen miles from O’Leary, in Prince County, there formerly lived John Newson and his son Gunner. The two lived a care-free sort of ex- istence, came and went as they wished, rose early or late accord- lng to their fancy and liked work so well that at any time they could lle down and sleep beside it.

John Newson and Gunner were great believers in Lady Luck. They believed, for instance, that lf one lay long enough under a tree the ripe fruit would in time drop right into one's mouth.

On a date preceding a certain election, the son came to the vil- lage to interview the dispenser of political boodie, reminding him of the staunch support he and his father had always given the party and pleading for some small favor, be it greenbacks or rum.

The dispenser heard him in sil- ence, perhaps pondering in his own mind if he could remember any- thing concerning the Newsons that might be checked up in their favor. Finally he ended his silence: “Well, you miserable chlseler, if you must have your paw greased, you will have to pledge now, on your word of honor, that -you and your old men will vote for us next election, besides doing your best canvassing. I'll see that you get a case of good Scotch whiskey. You shall be duly notified by mall when the stuff arrives. l-luw does that strike you?"

O I

"It’s a deal," said Gunner, scarce- ly believing the words of the oth- er. A case of whiskey right from the tap! O boy! All the way home the words sounded in his ears like a golden melody. He was in a state of suspended animation and would not then have changed places with the Good Queen Victoria.

The father, when he heard the glad tidings, was jubilant and roared for sheer joy. " ‘All things come to those that wait,‘ Gunner. I've always told you that, rne lad —always, ey?"

Now, a case of whiskey called for a little party~with a few chosen friends to help them celebrate this stroke of good fortune-—the iatted

O, rotund early bird!

No wonder you're not thinner-

Here's a gay- and whimsical touch for the kitchen drapes. The five and ten have a good supply of shiny spoons, forks and spatulas. Get yourself two for each window. Drill a hole in each handle and bend them back, on themselves. Screw one on each side of the window—-and you have a pair of dandy tie-lacks for the kitchen curtains. '

Are the menfoiks hard on socks? Well, if darning isn't your favorite pastime, you might try this trick. To save wear and eventual holes at the heel or toe, rub on a little wax or paraffin. It won't show and will last. through several launderings.

What it does is ease the friction which causes the hole.

Shoes too, can be given a head start when they're new. If you give smooth leather shoes a polish before wearing them for the first time, you'll find they'll last better. A coat of wax polish provides ex- tra protection against spoa stains and scuffing. The same i a holds good for smooth leather purses and pocketbooks.

Most everybody, now and then, comes across a magazine cover that's so attractive you find your- self savlng it—-hating to throw it away.

Why not collect these favorite magazine covers-and when you have a pile of them-cover one wall oi the rumpus room with them? They make a fine kind of wall- paper pasted on with wallpaper paste and then coated with clear shellac.

Another pleasantly reminiscent kind of paperlng is to use road maps accumulated from vacation trips. 0r, you can just collect some

THICK! AND ‘I'll’! ABOUND THE HOUSE

Here's} tip for the woman who has a dressing tabla drawer full of oslentiab- but cluttery -— gadgets. Two knife boxes from the dime store will serve to bring order out of chaos. Bolt the boxes together, or screw them to the bottom of the drawer.

If you have plants dotted around the house. the gardening experts have a word of advice on how to keep them looking their prettiest. Wipe the leaves of your plants with a damp cloth once in a while especially on dark days. That takes off the dust and lets the sunshine get to the leaves. And, of course. it makes the plants look fresher and greener, too. ,
