He was a stirr- looking man with very heavy eyebrows and a high collar. Stacia had often heard her mother speak of what a fine man he had been. Bometimes Stacia would make faces At the picture, but he frowned back at her solemnly. Then she would shake her fist at him, but he never paid any attention to her. When Stacia"s mother went west for several months because of her health and Stacia waa left to be housekeeper, | ker first thought was to fix over some of the rooms, and do some of the things she had long wanted to do. ~ ® Among the first of these was to get rid of Great-Uncle John. It seemed to her that he cast a shadow over the whole living room. So she mounted &-chair and pulled Uncle John down from his nail. Then she stopped to think of what to do with him, She couldn't throw him away. That was out of the ques- tion. She couldn't put him in the store-room, because his frame might get broken, and her mother would be Angry when she came back. First she put him up in the hall, but it was unpleasant to look at him when she came in. She tried the kit- chen, but he bothered her when she was rushing about trying to cook. There was no use trying to put him in her father's room, And she just souldn't stand him in her own. She put him in the pantry, but Uncle John glared at her so she took him down. For over a week she tried him In different places, but he looked at her so flercely at each change that she trembled. "Well." she sald at last, "you can have your way. I didn't know a ple. ture could have a mind of its own." Here is how to make a dolly that will dance with grace and speed: Cardboard, paint, a thread and needle, broomstraws--these are all you need. Draw the parts off just as shown here; tri them, if you want her small. Cardbiard should be very thin, toe, or the doll won't dance at all. Then, to put the doll together, holes are punctured with a pin, A and B and C will show you where the hat pin should go in. Holes with letters which are matching should be joined and tied in place, Linen thread will serve the PUrpose--- it must be strong, in any case. Make each knot quite large and firm, and through the hole it never slips. Then the piece cut like a doughnut comes and rests upon her hips, Four small holes quite near the outer edge of this with care are made. These small holes an equal distance from each other should be laid. Then the broomstraws--you've been wondering what to do with them, no doubt-- One in ev'ry hole's inserted, bent and glued--it won't slip out. Next there comes the task of dressing Dancing Molly. That's more fun, Cut a strip of tissue paper, any color 'neath the sun. Pleat it up, and then you glue it round her waist, all rufed out, Cut a waist and fit and glue it, ther she's dressed to dance about. Now you scan a book of fashions, find 2 head that seems to fit, Glue it on and take your paints and tint hér up a little bit, When she's finished, you would think she stepped out from a fashion page. O'er the table edge extending, place some cardboard for a stage. Om it set the dancing dolly, tap the cardboard, and you'll see, If you've followed the directions, that she'll dance most prettily, Sold Kipling's Letters Rudyard Kipling ence became very Angry beeause one of the trees in front of his house was injured by a careless bus driver.

Turning the knob, of course, causes the rubber wheel to be rotated. The device may be screwed to the panel in such a manner that the rubber wheel makes firm contact with the dial of a condenser or variometer, as the case may be The diameter of the wheel is very much' smaller than that of any dials it is llkely to be used with. One complete rotation of the wheel will then cause the dial to move only a comparatively small distance. The vernier adjustment efect is thereby secured. . When a cabinet receiver is not shielded body capacity effects are often noticeable when the hands are placed near to or removed from the dial knobs. The shaft of the vernier adjuster is long enough to bring the hand some distance away from the dial it is used with, the adjustment being made only, of course, by rotating the electrose knob of the adjuster.
