The beautiful Princess Bri:iitM was a
tnc needlewoman, and she had offervJ
the prlre of a gold iUve to the llttlt ;
girl who could present the best led
taen of her own ueedlework. Now the j
4ay had come on which the work wai
to be exhibited and the prlie awarded, i
Each llttl girl brought forward het ,
tork when ahe was called and laid It!
m a amall table beside the princess.
When It was Cordula'a turn there wcr
tears In her blue eyea aa ahe told the
reason of her empty hand.
-But, dear child," replied the prln
ftm, 'thou aayeat that the mother la

"Indeed, I hare notr the little girt

in tbs stockings, dear Princess Brig
Kta."
"Ah, little one, run borne and fetch
one of those stockings thou bsst lately
aanded."
Ones In her father'a cottar a new
dlfflcnlty arose. All the stockings that
had been mended had been put on that
Tery morning. Not on pair was left.
Then Cordula, In despair, turned to the
baby. He bad been dressed only a
couple of hours. Conld one of hla lit
tle stockings be spared t The mother
drew It from the rosy foot, scanned It
carefully and said:
-Take It, child, and If thou telleat ber
why the creases are there I am sure
she will pardon them."
So the baby's stocking took Its place
among the dainty muslins snd silks
and linens and when the prize was
warded It did not go to Sibylla for
1st hemstitching nor to Helen for ber
Ok embroidery. No; It went to dear
Ittle Cordula. because the princess de
clared that the stitches In the baby's
stocking were the tery smallest and
erenest of all and that the little dan
was the most beautiful piece of needle
work there.
Tk Bird Catcher.
The player who takes the direction of

'When railed upon by the bird catcher,
who stands In the center of the seated
ling of players and relates a story re
ferring to each bird. As the name of
each bird Is mentioned the one who has
eheeen It makes a sound similar to that
Bade by the bird, and each player must
have his hands placed on his knees. If
the bird catcher refers to the owl, every
one places his hands behind him and
keeps them there until another bird Is
spoken of, when the hands are placed
m the former position on the knees. If
the catcher can get hold of a hand
while It Is moving, the owner of the
hand pays a forfeit and takes the part
f the bird catcher. During the course
of the story, when the words "All the
birds of the air" are spoken, all the
players must Imitate the bird they are
