THE END. ery tranr.fcra, or tho making of book covers. Any girl knows how to mako em broidery transfers from these de signs. Simply lay a piece of car bon paper over tho goods to bo em broidered, lay tho primed design over that, and trace with a sharp pencil. Then embroider in your de signs in various colored silks. For the making cf fascy boxes, blotter pads nnd book covers, the method is just as simple. The ma terials can .be purchased at small cost at the five und ten cent store. A small can each of paints in black, white, blue, red and yellow ochre colors will give you all tho mixed colors you will desire. A couple of small brushes and a little tur pentine will complete your painting outfit. For blotter pads, procuro a stiff piece of cardboard and a piece of blotting paper the same size. They are to be held together with deco rated corners, which can be made of cardboard also, or, if. you want to take great pains with this gift, make them of tin, painted over in colors to suit your eye with tho de signs as shown in Figure F. To make fancy boxes, secure plain boxes of tin or wood. They can be painted to suit the personal taste, but black or red ones lend themselves most readily to decora tion. Hright, clean colors aro most effective, especially on black boxes, fey mixing the blue and yellow; you will have green; the red and yellow will mako orange, or the red and hlno will mako purple. Trace the corner to be used with a soft pencil. Turn the tracing face down on the article and care fully draw over every line, pressing down hard. When tracing is lifted, the design will be transferred, ready to color. lIf tho article is dark colored, whito transfer naDer can be used. For book covers, stiff paper, cardboard, or cardboard covered with Sanitas. can be used. The Snnitas covered ones are especially adapted to scrap books and recipe books. Use your own ingenuity, and you can get many novel effects with there designs. There is no end to tho uses to which you can put them.

On the walls of caves in southern France and northern Spain, hundreds of pictures of animals have been found. Some times the pictures were made on low ceilings. These pictures, it has been proved, were made more than twenty thousand years ago. One of the proofs is the finding of pictures of the mammoth. This hairy beast became extinct in southern Europe hundreds of cen turies ago. It looked very much like an elephant, but had two coats of hair one long and one short. The finding of two mammoths, one completely preserved, in Siberia, has made it possible for scientists to tell what mammoths were like. Their skin was an inch thick about twice as thick as an ele phant's hide. Some of them had tusks as much as eleven feet in length. The mammoths found in Siberia (fell frozen in the snow, and the coldness of their northern graves acted like a refrigerator. Tho mammoths which lived in southern Europe have left some of their bones, but none of their flesh. They must have been objects of great interest to the people of the Stohe Age. We can giiess that from the nuiiber of pictures of the beast left by cave artists. Paints were used - during the Stone Age especially black and red. Stone "saucers" in which the paints were mixed, have been found in or near caves; We also have tho remains of paint tubes. One way that paint was made was by mixing colored earth vith oil from ah'ihial fat. pictures bf bison were even more commonly made than those of mammoths. Scores of bison can be seen today if you visit a cave in northern Spain and look at tho walls and ceiling, with the aid of a flashlight or lantern. Stone Age artists are believed to have used torches and rude, stone lamps to give them light when they painted Some distance from the mouth of a cave. Pieces of flat stone, slight ly hollowed out, have been found at places where cave tribes made their homes. The traces of burnt fat in the hollows lead to the belief that the flat stones served as lamps. Besides bison and mammoths, tho cavo artists made sketches of birds, deer and wild horse3. Most of the pictures are poor, bpt some show life and action. Pictures were sometimes cut into cave walls, in stead) of being painted. Knives made from stone or bone were used for such art-work; Next week we shall take un the change of homes by Stone Age people.

Just Four Major Races of Mankind Among the peoples of the world there are only four main races: the negroes or blacks, mongols or yel low, red or brown peoples, and Caucasians or whites. These dis tinctions were evident as long ago as 6,000 years, although all woro probably tho same type of man ori ginally. Besides their difference in olor, there were several other ways of distinguishing these four races from each other. Skull measure ments, projection of jaw, types of toeth and hair are some of them.

THE DARK By Beatrice Washburn The darkness fit3 me like a wing, It spreads around my bed, Covers my feet and then my legs And settles on my head. They Didn't Wear Hats, Long Agq Nowadays the average person puts on a hat whenever he goef outside, even Baring the Bumrnei months when a hat seems a foolish and unnecessary addition. But in England, before the conquest of tM Normans, no one wore a hat. About the middle bf the twelfth: century, they wore "hats of beavr . or," and two hundred years later, hats with feathery plumes were 1 the fashion. During these years, and for some time after this, a hat was regarded as a mark of distinc tion and rank. It seems that all Bhanes and sizes of hats were worn, too, instead of a standard style for a certain period. A man named Stubbs, who wrote in the sixteenth century, tells us this about hats': "Sometimes they use them sharp on the crown pearking up like th spire or shaft of a steeple, stand ing a quarter of a yard above tha crowne of theire heads; some more, some lesse, as please the fantasies of their inconstant mindes. Oth- : ersome be flat, and broade on the ' crowne, like the battlements of a house. Another sorte have roundel crownes, sometimes with one kind of bande, sometimes with another; now black, now white, now russed, ' now redde, how grene, now yellow; now this, now that; never content with one colour or fashion two daies to an end.". Evidently Mr. Stubbs did not ap prove - of the beaus who took sit much time and trouble with their headgear. .' ' ' THEN PERHAPS NOT " T: . HT hunt thnfc vctttr T1EVW salesman Is a bear for work.'!
