JERRY'S
FAIRY GIFT
CAME BACK
. TO HER
(® by D. J. Walsh.
N ICY blast grabbed at Jerry
Doan's hat, fluttered her skirt
and sent a shiver down her
back. She paused, realizing
that she'd got something in her eye.
Two winks and a blow. Old-fash-
toned remedy for mote, but it worked.
Relief was instant. When she saw
again with both eyes she noticed that
she stood with one foot on a clean,
crisp new $5 bill,
She snatched the money eagerly.
A lucky find. What couldn't she do
with it? She'd send Betty, her little
school sister, back home, the dollar
she'd been teasing for. That would
leave plenty for a pair of hose and a
het for herself.
Jerry turned toward tempting
window. At the same instant a young
man who had paused there In the
bright light to glance at a letter he
had in his hand, turned from the win-
dow. Their eyes met with the happy
recognition of two friends encounter-
ing each other unexpectedly.
He was good looking, not tall, but
well made with nice, square shoulders
and a full chest. Blue eyes, with a
twinkle in them, a firm mouth slightly
truned up at the corners, a sturdy
jaw. For two months now he had
rocmed across the hall from Jerry,
He was looking for a job. He hadn't
yet found one. She was sure his
purse was getting pretty thin. He
didn't look as as if had a good square
meal since he came away from home,
That lucky fiver now. She had to
scrimp a good deal for she wasn't
yet so expert a typist that she re-
ceived the best wages. Yet she felt
she'd rather do without the hat and
hose and treat Bert Adams to a real
good feed.
“Help me across
you?’ she asked him.
He looked into her dark eyes with
amusement in his blue ones. Jerry
didn’t impress one as being a girl who
was timid of traflic. He took her arm
and steered through the roaring
thoroughfare.
Here she faltered, wondering how
she was going to get him to go Into
the restaurant with her, If he sus.
pected what she was up to he would
be offended. Then she had a flash,
She would tell him honestly and make
known her wish frankly.
“I've just had a fairy gift given me,”
she said. “I want to share it with
sdme You're the only person
handy. Won't you go into this restau-
rant with me and let me order a nice
little
Again he looked down into her dark

ever be so wistful as
she wanted them to be. ‘hey
might, he feit, fill with tears If he
refused. He bowed. They entered
the restaurant together,
They were alone at a small table.
Jerry scanned the menu excitedly.
What would be most filling, most nour-
ishing?
“Do you like roast beef, mashed po-
tatoes and gravy?’ she asked, Now
her dark eyes were starry,
They had roast beef, mashed pota-
to and gravy with a heap of rolls, a
salad, pie and coffee in addition.
Jerry was hungry, but not one-half so
hungry as Bert,
“You see.” Jerry said gayly, “this Is
really pay-back for half a chocolate
cake, six lovely doughnuts and a plate
of sugar cookies, the best I ever sate,
I'm afraid you gave away so much
that youn didn't have anything left for
yourself.”
“My Alice is a fine cook,”
Pert said. “I couldn't have been such
a pig as to have consumed the whole
boxful myself, I owed you
something. [I didn’t know how I was
going to get those buttons sewed on
my shirt till you came to my rescue
by lending me a needleful of thread.”
They laughed. “Get a job yet?
Jerry rasually inquired.
He shook his head. “No!

She gazed at him, startled,
“Oh, don't tell me you're a quit.

“I'm no quitter, Jerry.

cause I had to have more money.
My mother was sick a long time, it
ended up with her having an expen-
sive operation, Well, I had to mort.
gage the old homestead for all it
would bring. Then I couldn't pay the
mortgage on what the few worn-out
acres would yield. So I came here
looking for an opportunity, Plenty of
Jobs but I'm not the right man for
them. Besides, 1 hate all this, If it
hadn't been for you—" he smiled right
into her eyes. “You're a peach,
Jerry.”
She blushed. “No flattery, please,
The trademark of true friendship is
frankness-—I suppose you'll never
come back here again?
“Yes. I shall come back, maybe in
a week—to see you"
For a week after Bert went away
Jerry was light-hearted. He was com-
ing back to see her,
But two weeks passed and he did
not come, Three weeks, four—five,
Neither did he write. And now Jerry
knew she had lost him, She grew a

over in the big office where Jerry
worked. She suddenly found herself
out of a job.
Resolutely she set out to find an-
other job. A long tramp in a cold
rain to save car fare, a neglected sore
throat and she was lald up for good.
In her room she tried to sip the broth
Miss Henderson brought her hot from
a near-by restaurant, tried to read the
magazine Mrs, Jenks loaned, tried to
sniff the flowers which were a dona-
tion from all the roomers,
But she got well at last. A little
pale, lacking in her usual vigor, she
went out to answer an advertisement,
She got the job because the woman
who was doing the hiring happened
to have an understanding heart.
Dark days seemed to have become
if not sunny at least bright enough
for ordinary uses. If only she hadn't
lost the fairy gift that had seemed so
close to her hand! The fairy gift of
a clean, honest man’s abiding love,
The second day she worked she
went home at the close of day to find
a neat bine roadster standing before
the rooming house entrance. She
glanced at it~ curiously, wondering if
it were a doctor's rig. The door of
the coupe opened, a face looked out.
“I've been sitting here waiting for
you for over an hour,” sald Bert
Adams.
Jerry concealed her joy. He'd kept
her waltirg nearly two months, you
see,
“Come get In, Jerry. We'll go round
to the restaurant and have a bite,” he
sald.
Jerry got Into the car. He took
her to the same restaurant where they
had dined that long ago evening, He
ordered. Jerry gasped at the pro-
fusion of chicken and other delicious
food,

Old Romans Used Wells
as Their Refrigerators
Deep wells, which are supposed to
have been the primitive Iceboxes or
refrigerators used by the ancient
Romans for icing drinks, were discov.
ered during archeological excavations
in Rome, according to the Italy Amer.
ica society.
Naturally the refrigerators, which
were not operated by elther gas or
electricity, were very elementary.
They consisted of an underground de.
posit of snow which played a very
valuable role In the ritull of drinking
at Roman banquets. Trimalcion, the
typical new rich and after-dinner
speaker of the day, represented by
Petronius in his famous novel, “Saty-
ricon,” had iced drinks at all his ban-
quets. Of course he wag not bothered
by prohibition agents and he was
looking for publicity when he dis.
played before his guests the great
frozen amphorae In his magnificent
home, which was not a speakeasy.
In regard to this discovery it Is
worth recalling that history tells of
Ellogabalus, the effeminate emperor
in the period of the empire's decline,
who used to employ numberless slaves
to fill his “iceboxes” with snow during
the winter in order to have plenty of
cold drinks for even the warmest
days of summer,
Voodoo Doctor's Protest
The laws of South Africa forbid the
practice of “tagatl” for money not
toluntarily offered, and every day
black men are sentenced to impris-
onment for pretending to have super
natural powers, which the unromantic
local courts consider as nothing but
a variety of fraud. Recently a num-
ber of these “wise ones” frequenting
the mining districts of Witwatersrand
joined together to defend thelr names
and profession. One of them sald: “I
am sure that If the government al-
lowed us to practice in this town we
would beat the European doctor, so
that before long they would have no
work to do, Please refrain from call.
ing us wizards, If we are wizards, so
are European doctors, We believe to

the white doctor, although he calls it
by another name.”

Jacket Suit First Choice
Among Street Costumes
for Spring.
With the stores full of such a wide
variety of materials, silks, cottons,
linens, woolens and rayons, in such a
wide variety of colors and weaves,
there is no reason why we should not
all wear materials suitable to the oe-
*asion during the spring and summer.
The time has gone, notes a fashion
writer in the Boston Herald, when a
woman may feel justified in wearing
crepe de chine for all occasions, And
certainly there Is no advantage In ex.
cluding everything but silk materials
f:zom one's wardrobe, There are ocen-
sions even in warm weather when the
new fine woolens are more appropriate
than any sort of silk, times when cot-
ton or linen are more suitable than
either woolen or silk.
Never since the art of weaving was
first irvented has there been such a
wide variety of materials for women
to choose from-—and never has there
been such a wide range of lovely col-
ors, Merely to see this wealth of love-
ly fabrics as they are shown now in
the department stores is enough to
make one take a renewed interest In
clothes.
There are soft-toned, lightweight
jerseys, striped wash silks, dotted
swisses, cotton plques, wool georgette
almost as supple as silk, figured silks,
figured and plain chiffons, nets, laces,
embroidered cottons, printed linens,
Inces, tweeds, twilled woolens, shan
tungs printed and plain—and dozens
of new materials called by names that
are as yet strange to our ears.

blouse and skirt. Most of the new
three-piece ensembles consist of sep.
arnte blouse and skirt instead of a
skirt mounted on a slip top with an
go with it. The sep-
arate skirt has the advantage that it
may be worn with either a tuck-in
blouse or an over-blouse,
The return of the jacket suit has
brought back Into favor a number of
suiting materials that have been little
used of late years. Tweed no longer
reigns supreme—though to tweed In
its wide variety of weaves and colors
should be given the credit for renewed
inerest in all woolen materials, Now
we have serges and a variety of
twilled materials that lend themselves
better to the smartly tailored suit than
the more loosely woven tweeds,
While the jacket suit of wool will
occupy our first attention, there Is
every reason to believe that the In-
terest in this type of costume will be
prolonged through warmer months by
means of the light suit made of silk
or linen. Of all silks shantung and
similar rough silks meet the require
ments of the jacket suit best and

linens and linen-like cotton materials,
