jimmie, on the drop seat of the
brougham, leaned forward and asked
Ms aunt where they were going. She
jjmed a big department store and his
face lighted up. "They have ice cream
in the basement." said he.
"On. I'm sure It can't be good!"
N(H-o-o." Jimmie always agrees
with a lady. "It isn't so bad, though.
When we bought the kitchen coal-hod
rjiurtney treated me. We had choc'late
tnfl strawberry mixed oh, tine! Don't
yoo think I might treat him to-day?
I could carry a glass out to the car
riage without spilling a drop." . He
niiddenly thrust his head out of the
carriage. "Courtney, what kind"
His aunt dragged him inside. "Some
other time," she said.
"What can I do r he asked, after s
eloomy pause.
0 . . t . j t A 1 .
"Were going to uuy a nai, uear."
"I don't want any old hat."
"A nice new hat"
This feebly Jocose correction fell flat
Jimmie grasped the hat on his head
with both painfully gloved hands and
dragged it down to his ears. "It's just
jot comfor'ble!" be moaned. "She"
he meant no disrespect to his mother
-"wants to send this one to the In-
jijns or the Florida children, I s'pose."
A gleam of hope illuminated his face.
"I wish they might have the new one.
I wouldn't mind having It fitted on me.
Don't you think they'd be pleased?"
Jimmie's aunt ignored this artful ap
peal. "You know your mother wishes
you to be spick and span when grand
ma comes Thursday."'
"Oh, my grandma won't mind," con
fidently. "And I'd brush up great!"
His aunt shook her head.
"Perhaps boots would do? They'd
be all right. New ones kick fine."
This easy sacrifice to the home god
dess waa promptly rejected, and Jim
mie knew then that it was to be a
bat.
"When I buy them myself they'll be
old and big, and everything new will
go into the barrel and maybe there
won't be any barrel," he threatened,
darkly.
Jimmie helped bis aunt to alight at
Cut & Cash's store, and followed her
to the hat counter, the sullen tread of
his feet speaking volumes of disgust.
The counter was surrounded by wo
men, mostly mothers, but Jinimie's
turn came at last.
"Well, lady," said the perspiring
clerk, "what can I show you for your
little boy?"
"She's not my mother!" said Jimmie.
"She's my aunt She isn't even mar
rled. My father says"
"Show me something In a white
straw, please," JImmie's aunt said,
hastily. "Something suitable for a
boy of nine."
"Nearly ten," corrected Jimmie. "My
father says"
"Something a little wider in the
brim, and I prefer a navy-blue band,"
said Jimmie's aunt.
"My father" began Jlinmie. But
his aunt promptly clapped a hat on
his head, and his tune changed. "It
don't feel good! It's too small! And
I don't want an elastic under my chin;
only small kids wear them. Oh, It
hurts my head!"
When the clerk was on his knees
opening boxes, trying to find another
hut, Jimmie again became amiably
sociable.
"The last time the New London man
was there, he wild"
"Something similar to Ills old hat
will be right," said Jimmie's auut, In
an agitated falnetto.
"The New Loudon man said, 'A kiss
Is as good as a smile,' " continued Jim
mle. "I Was under the sofa, and I
beard"
"This will do.- You need not look
any further," said Jimmie's aunt, seiz
ing a hat and placing It on Jimmie's
head with a determined hand. The
clerk rose, but not before he was mast
er of his countenance, and began to
turn over the slips in his book.
"You must be awfully rattled,
aunty," said Jimmie. "This is my old

The mirror never flatters; it tells the
truth, no matter how much it may hurt the
Dride or how humiliating and disagreeable
the reflections. A red, rough skin is
beautv. and blackheads, blotches and
are ruinous to the complexion, and
desperate efforts are made to hide these blemishes, and
cover over the defects, and some never stop to consider
the danger in skin foods, face lotions, soaps, salves
and powders, but apply them vigorously and often with .
out retrard to consequences, and many complexions
are ruined by the chemicals and poisons contained in these cosmetics.
Skin diseases are due to internal causes, to humors and poisons in the
blood, and to attempt a cure by exter
nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin is
much inflamed or itches, but you can't
depend upon local remedies for perma
nent relief, for the blood is continually
throwing off impurities which irritate
and clog the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re
mains unhealthy, just so long will the
eruptions last. To effectually and per
manently cure skin troubles the blood
must be purified and the system
