yellowstrands in and out, fashioning the dainty cord. The price paid for the cord was only half acent a yard, but this was better than nothing tothose dames of a by-gone generation. A poor country girl would begin to think ofher hat from the time of seed-sowing. Allsummer she would watch the billowy grain.When it was gathered and only the emptystalks were left, she would tie them into bundlesand hang them in some sheltered nook to dry.Bleaching, splitting, and braiding — these shedid all herself. When the braids were finished and sent tothe factory, how impatiently she waited! Per-haps grandma contributed some of the cord shehad made last winter that the new hat might bemore beautiful. At last the hat came home,and then what tryings on there were beforethe old gilt-framed mirror in the parlor! Howlovingly its owner handled it as she placed itthis way or that on her curly head. Oh, a newstraw hat was indeed a thing well worth havingin those days of the long ago. Adele H. Baldwin. 719

YES, RAFFLES, I VE HAD TO TIE YOU, BUT IT s ONLY FOR A MINUTE. SO PLEASE SIT STILL AND LOOK PLEASANT! FUN AMONG THE RED BOYS. By Julian Ralph. ARIOUS asare the cus-toms of theIndians, it istheir savage,warlike na-tures that weare most aptto remem-ber. Few ofus, in fact,ever think ofIndian children at all, except at the sight of apicture of them. Little has been told or writtenabout the boy and girl red folk, and it wouldpuzzle most of my readers to say what theysuppose these children of nature look like, or doto amuse themselves, or how they are broughtup. It will astonish most city people to hear thatred children are very like white children, just as alady who was out on the plains a few years ago
