WENDY'S LITTLE DRESSMAKERS,

An Apron Like Wendy's.

"A pretty apron for Mother," is the special request this week. So I am going to tell you how to

make one like Wendy's.

You will need two and a quar- ter yards of Russian crash, which you can buy for sixpence the yard, fifteen inches wide; you'll also want some coloured cotton mind to be Lord Mayor of Lon-braid for the binding, and any don опе day. His father's odds and ends of coloured woola riches would be his, and this new you can find for the embroidered prince might be more worthy of trimming on the pocket. the Fishmongers' loyalty than the careless king who spent his time in feasting.

"Let us welcome him as our own!" shouted Walter. "Let us go to the Queen with gifts and show her the power of the Fish- mongers! Come to our masters for gold, and fair jewels, and rich silks, and rare fish."

The Guild of Fishmongers, pleased with this idea, decked out a barge as a magnificent ship. Silk fluttered from the mast, cloth of gold hung from the deck, and Walter, impersonating the wind, blew a golden trumpet. This ship they sailed to West- minster, and thither galloped a great company, of richly attired Fishmongers. The Queen came out and accepted the ship. She was, she declared, about to set out on a pilgrimage to Canter- bury, so the Fishmongers deter- mined to escort her through the city.

Cut one of mongers formed such a powerful and wealthy Guild that when their apprentices became riotous, or even their masters committed crimes, they were judged only in their own court. Then they were pardoned, if possible, or, at the worst, the Fishmongers' Guild paid a fine to the city.

Walter was a master's son, a lad of sixteen, but an apprentice. He rode out behind his master when a company of Fishmongers went to bargain for fish on the coast, and he had made up his

In these words a well-known physician in his book “Nerve Energy" describes the action of Sanatogen.

Every single particle of Sanatogen is greedily absorbed by the blood streami and, without any waste, forms new nerve strength and vigorous energy.

This remarkable influence of Sanatogen is based on strictly logical facts. Sanatogen gives the body the exact proportion of those elements-glycero-phosphate and albumin-from which nature builds up a lasting store of health and strength.

And the results 7--even after a few weeks you will notice a wonderful improvement in your health.
