at rest about that letter. My very heart
shrank as 1 thought of the bitter words
in it. Surely, if Jessie had read It she
never could forgive me. Her mother gave
it to me one day.

of importance, as Jessie could not. There

"There's Emily Garde,' said Janet, as
again, after lea, she sat on the porch.
"And?she's coming in. I didn't think
she'd have the face to."
Emily it was. however, and a very
bright face and lively greetings she
brought. She removed a paper whicn
surrounded two flower pots.
"Oh!" exclaimed Janet, in the delight
of a true flower. "That's a?a "

"A peace-maker?'
"Yes, tnough I don't know that I
needed to, for you didn't really know you
had a grudge against me." Janet colored
a little. "But I must tell you my story.
Just before I went away, 1 was at Miss
Vale's one day, and she gave me a little
crimson geranium for you. Well, on the
way home 1 dropped it. It was smashed
to pieces. I felt dreadfully, and didn't
want you to see it until mother had tried
her hand on nursing it right again. It
looks about as well as before now. In
the meantime, I brought you the white
geranium as a sort ot salve to my con

I didn't tell any lie, fcr I said it was from
Miss Vale, which was the truth. So hero
is the crimson geranium, and I hope I
may have the comfort of feeling as though
I had made up for things.'
Janet affectionately patted her friend's
shoulder, giving her aunt at the same
time a beaming glance.
"I uon't think it needed any malting
up."
Then with a smile, as she took in more
fully the glorious tinting of the calceolaria:
"Oh, Emily, don't you want to smash a
few more of my plants?"?Exchange.
FOR INKY FINGERS.
A girl I know has made a wonderful
discovery, which she thinks all other
schoolboys and schoolgirls snould know,
too.
"It's so needful, mamma," she says.
"All boys and glrl3 get ink on their fingers,
you ?vnow."
"Surely they do, and on their clothes,
as well," said her mother.
"I can't get the spots out of my clothes,
but I'm sorry they get there," responded
thA eirl "I irv vorv horH not tn Riit

I can get the ink spots off my fingers.
See!"
She dipped her fingers into w?ter,
and while they were wet she took a
matoh out of the match safe and rubbed
the sulphur end well over her ink spots,
one after another the spots disappeared,
leaving a row of white fingers where nad
been a row of inky black ones.
"There," said the girl after she had
finished "isn't that good? I read that

THE BOYS.
There is nothing in the world so well
worth looking after as the boy, and there
is no being in the world so much neglected
as the boy. The attitude of the
world toward him is loo nearly expressed
by the mother, who said to the nurse:
Where is Johnny? "He is out in (he
yaid." "What is he doing?" "I don't
know." "Well, go and see, and tell him
to stop it."
We chaperon our girls, and not too
carefully; but we leave the boy to choose
his associates and his environments
without much advice, and with very
little guidance. Girls are naturally
winsome, gentle, companionable, and
they win their way, too, and are welcome
in our homes, but I do not know of many
homes where boys are invited. About
the only door that swings with sure
welcome to the boy, about the only chair
that is shoved near the fire especially
for the boy, about the only place where
he is sure of welcome, is where you do
not desire him to go. It is about the
hardest thing in ihe world to get hold
cf a boy?to get a sure grip on hira.

for his son. He went skating
with him. He went everywhere with
him. They were companions. The old
man never amounted to much himself,
but his boy did. The product justified
the expense.

FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect.
No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a trained
nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse of Wilkes
Barre, Pa., Vvrites: "I used to drink
strong cofTee myself, and suffered greatly
from headaches and indigestion.
"While 011 a visit to my brothers I had
a good chance to try Postuni, for they
drank it altogether in place of ordinary
tvncc. Aiier using rosium two weeks
I found I was much benefited and finally
my headaches disappeared and also the
indigestion.
"Naturally I have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed a
marked benefit where coffee has been
left ofT and Postum used.
"I observe a curious fact about Postum
used among mothers. It greatly helps
the fio<w of milk in cases where coffee is
inclined to dry it up, and where tea
causes nervousness.

make Postum properly. They most
always serve it before it has been boiled
long enough. It should be boiled 15 or
20 minutes after boiling begins and
served with cream, tben it is certainly a
delicious beverage."
