Do you know now where I can get any?" And the other girl who was sup posed to be the Iceman answered In a gruff voice: “ Go to the North pole and you'll find some, lady.” Some other children were starting out with their dolls for a trip and XX>00000OOCKXXK>00000OO00<K they were saying to their little dolls “ W e have to pay to ride on the cars, but you are young enough to travel free." Then Peter went to a *oo where most o f the people about spoke an other language, for he went a long, long way this time. But the animals still grunted and squealed and chat ted In their own way to Peter's great relief. Coming back he sailed on an old schooner and bad a most adventure some time. He sang to btmself at times and this was one o f ihe songs he sang: The ocean and the eky And our boat p lo w in g steadily os While tree* and land ard streets Are quite completely sons. it was quite true, too, that they had left trees and streets In the far distance now for quits a while. He listened to the sea gulls saying the same things over and over and he thought how much they were like so.ue people who said the same things over and orer. But they were so graceful and so beautiful and they always made the scenery more interesting. Then he liked to hear their funny laughing voices and he thought their good ap- petlties showed how healthy they were. He certainly would tell them tn Fairyland, how he could see. when he looked front the top of the mast, only where the sky and sea met all around There was a blue ridge In the distance and beyond he couldn't see. He thought o f all the curious things he Had seen on this trip— the donkey and dog wagons and bow much they had to work. But then, too, he had been I d one Itttle place and every day the dogs had all met together on the beach and bad gone In swimming and had played and had a beautiful time. It bad seemed Just as tf they had named an hour to meet on the beach. He had seen woolly white sheep lying on stones, on rocky hills, and he had watched scampering wild rah bits and great flocks o f wild birds. H e had made friends with a dear little dog as they had warmed them selves before a fire when every one was out and the little dog had felt so blissful lying on his back by the warm fire and having Peter Gnome rub his chest.

It was as descriptive o f a certain person that the expression had its origin. Its contribution to modern speech is part o f the great legacy left to posterity by Charles Dickens.

JRVINQ KINQ V E R V A IN A BOUT all that seems to have sur- * * vlved In this country o f the once high esteem in which vervain was held I d magld and folk medicine Is Its reputation as a cure for fever and ague— a reputation which the doctors say Is entliely undeserved. But let science say wnat It may, superstition still calls vervain "favor-w eed" and this Is little enough as salvage from Its once great estate o f magical prop erties. In former times the vervain was highly esteemed as a love philter and Is so today In gome sections o f Eu rope. At a German wedding a wreath o f vervain Is presented to the bride and Is supposed to aid her In holding the affections for her husband. tn England the herb ts thought to be efficacious In staunching a wound, and In France, If gathered In the waning o f the moon It is as much regarded for Its curative properties as It Is In the “ fever and ague" districts o f the United States. But the French em ploy an tDcantatlon while gathering It which Is not done In America. That la the reason, perhaps, why tn France It cures not only fever but various other sicknesses. In the days when witches were more common tbaD they are now vervain was one o f the herbs which they gathered to work their magic w ith ; but also It was regarded aa a charm against witchcraft—as It Is to day In some sections o f Europe, In cluding rural England. All the super stitions regarding vervain are an In heritance from the days o f the Druids with whom It was a sacred plant, and If it has lost a portion of Its magical reputation today It la prob ably due to the fact that we have for gotten how to gather It properly. The Druids gathered It only “ when the dog-star arose from unsunned places." ST O R Y M y m i Ley, one of th « moet colorful end exotic girle on the ecr««n. le e ne tlve o f Helene, Mont.
