SO WING SEEDS IN DANNY

THIS STAUTS THE STOK
Mrs. J. Iiurton Francis, a woman
iettk high ideals and more than ihe
ordinary measure of the milk of
kuman kindness courting through her
feint, notices that her washwoman,
Mrs. Watson, is performing hsr
labor in a sluggish manner, inquires
about her health and about her
numerous children, subjects her to
tome uplifting talk on motherhood,
suggests looks for her husband to
read, and interests herself in thn J
fare of the family. She asks that
little "Danny," a child of four, be
tent to her on a visit. Pearl, the
oldtst of the family, prepare Danny
for his visit, entertaining him with
stories of her own creation about the
pleasure he trill get, in which choco
late plays a part. "You can have one
of tnu 'chookalut drops, Vearlie,
says Dannu.
AND 1IKKE IT CONTINUES
C-pOBERT KOBL.1N WATSON.
Jtv him as they call Cussey. what
would you like?' and 'Patrick Healy
Waton, us i3 called Patsey, what is
your choice?' says, she, and "
In the confusion that ensued while
these two young gentlemen thus re
ferred to stated their modcut wUhcs,
their mother camo in, tired and palo,
from her hard day's work.
'"How is the pink lady today, raa?"
asked Pearlie, setting Danny down and
beginning operations on Bugsey.
"Oh she's as swate as ever, an'
can talk that soft and kind abont chil
dren as to melt the heart in ye."
Danny crept up on his mother's
knee. "Ma, did she give ye pic?" he
asked, wistfully.
"Yes, me beauty, and she sent this
to you wld her lore." and Mrs. Wat
ton took n small piece out of n new- I
paper from under her cape. It was tuo
piece that had been set on the kitchen
table for Mrs. Watson's dinner. Danny
called them 'all to have a bit.
"Sure it's the firt bite that's always
the best, a body might not like it so
well on the second." said Jimmy as lie
took his. but Bugsey refused to hare
any at all. "Wan bite's no good." he
aid. "It just leta yer sec what yer
missing.' "
"D'ye think she'll crer come to see I
n&. ma?" asked Pearlie. as she set'
Danny in the chair to give him bis
supper. The family was fed in divi
sions. Danny was always in Divi
sion A.
"Her? Is it?" said Mrs. Watson
and they all listened, for Pearlie's story
today had far surpassed all her former
efforts, and it seemed ns if there must
be some hope of incoming true. "Miy
och! chllder dear, d'ye think a foine
lady like her would be bothered with
the likes of us? She is r'adin' her
book, and writin' letthers. and thinkin'
great thoughts, all the time. When
she was speakln' to me today, she
looked at me so wonderin' and faraway
I could see that sho thought I wasn't
thcro at ntl at nil, and me fnrninst her
all the tlrao no, chllder, dear, don't
be thinkin' of It, and Pearlie, I think
ye'd better not bo puttln' notions Inter
their heads. Yer father wouldn't like
It. Well, Danny, me man, how goes
It?" went on Mrs. Watson, as tier
latest born was eatine his rather scanty
supper. "It's not skim milk and dhry
breitd ye d be havln', If you were her
child this night, but taffy candy filled
wld nuta and chunks o' cake as biz as
rer head." Whereupon Danny mailed
dismally, nnd had to bo taken from
Mi chair nnd have the "Little Boy
Blue" sung to him beforo he could be
induced to go on wltu his supper.
The next morning when Jimmy
brought the milk to Mrs. Francis's back
door tho dark-eyed girl with tho
"smiley" teeth let him in, and set a
chair beside the kitchen stove for him
to warm his little blue hands. While
she was emptying the milk Into the
nltcher with the birds on it. Mrs. Fran
cis, with a wonderful pink kimono
on, cam 6 into the kitchen.
"Who Is this boy. Camilla?" she
asked, regarding Jimmy with n critical
gaze.
"This is Master James Watson,
Mrs. Francis." answered Camilla with
her pleasant smllo. "Ho brings tho
milk every morulng." . .
"Oh, yes; of course, I remember
now," said Mrs. Francis, adjusting her
glasses. "How old Is tho baby,
James?" .. , .... ,
"Danny, Is it?" said Jim. "He's
four como March." , ,
"Is he Tery sweet nnd cunning,
James, and do you lovo him very
much?" .. .
"Oh. he'8 nil right," Jim answered
sheepishly. ,
"It is a great privilege to have a
Httlo brother Hko Daniel. ou must
be careful to set before him good
example of honesty nnd sobriety. He
will be a man somo day, and If prop
erly trained he may be a useful factor
in tho uplifting and refining of tho
world. I love little children," she
went on rapturously, looking at Jimmy
as If he wasn't there at all, and I
would love to train one for service in
the world to uplift and refine."
"Yea, ma'am," said Jimmy. Ho felt
that something was expected of him,
but he was not sure what.
"Will you bring Daniel to nee me
tomorrow, James?" she said, as Camilla
handed him his pall. "I would like
to speak to his young mind and en
deavor to plant the seeds of virtue nnd
honesty in that fertile soil.'
When Jimmy got home he told
Pearlie of his interview with the pink
lady, as much as he could remember.
The only thing that he was sure of
was that she wanted to see -Panny,
and that she had said something about
planting seeds in him.
Jimmy and Pearlie thought it best
not to mention Danny's proposed visit
TTjBBMKI v v '
Girls ! Your hair needs a little "Danderine" that's all ! When
it becomes lifeless, thin or loses its lustre; when ugly dandruff
appears, or your hair falls out, a 35-cent bottle of delightful,
dependable "Danderine" from any store, will save your hair,
also double it's beauty. You can have nice, thick hair, too
to their mother, tor they knew that
she would bo fretting about hid clothes,
and would be sittlug up mending and
sewing for him when sho should be
sleeping. So they resolved to say
"nothin to nobody."
Tho next day their mother went away
early to wash for tho Methodist min
ister's wife, and that was always a
long day's work.
Then tho work of preparation began
on Danny. A wash-basin full of snow
was put on the stovo to melt, and
Danny wns put in the high-chair which
was always the place of his ablutions.
Pearlie began to think aloud. "Bug
Bey. your stockln'n arc tho best.
Off wld them, Mary, and mend the
nolo in the knees of them, and Bugsey,
hop into bed, for we'll be nccdln your
pants, nnywny. It's nwful stylish for
a little lad HUt: Danny to be wcarln'
pants under bis dresses, and now what
about boots? Let's see yours, Patsey.
They're all gone in the uppers, and
Billy's are too big. even if they wero
here, but they're off to school on him.
I'll tell you whnt, Mary, hurry up wid
that sock o Ted's and we'll draw them
on him over Bugsey's boots and purtlnd
they're overstocking, nnd I'll carry
him all the way so 'a not to dirty
them."
Mary stopped her dish-washing and,
drying her hands on the thlu towel that
hung over the looking-glass, found her
knitting nnd began to knit at the top
of her speed.

WALNUT STREET
fc SHOPPED
THIS QUAINT AND EXCLUSIVE OLD
STREET OF "BEST SHOPS" IS DOING ITS
PRETTIEST FOB THE NEW SEASON. ITS
WINDOWS AKE FAIRLY FLOWERING WITH
ALL THE GAYEST, SMARTEST THINGS
PHILADELPHIA FEMININITY COULD
WISH FOR MOTHER NATURE'S SPRING
RECEPTION.
Ono of Walnut street's most fascinating gown shops
Schmahbach's, located at No. 1422. Thero you will
find exclusive fashions par excellence, with yet an occa
sional model or two as low as $75. At that price I
was fortunate enough to nnd In tlus shop u little
group of meteor and satin modela, of delightful fush
ioning let me describe ono for you. A jet and
steel bead embroidered bodice of bisquo Georgette
blouses slightly over a dull navy Batin slightly draped
skirt, which is shirred to an elastic hem. It is a fashion
which should look equally well upon a maturo or youthful
figure. The becoming bodice has a round collarlcss neck
and three-quarter sleeves cuffed with tho satin and a
back panel of the satin bloused from neck to waistline.
They're so splendidly rakish, so superlatively snappy,
thoso new toppers of genuine English and Scotch tweeds
which arc to be seen at that most inviting little shop of
Bcnguyer's, 1214 Walnut Street. These now topcoats arc
man-tailored and cut along belted raglan lines. The
irresistible sports materials como in marvelous rust
brown, glorious, grayed amethyst liko mist on Scotch
heather, and somo shadow plaids which are tho last thing
in sports snap. The raglans are tho best of wraps
for motoring, hiking, business, practical morning weur,
shore and country. Considering tho lines nnd imported
fabrics, the price;- $85, is most reasonable.
There's nothing so soul satisfying to the average well
dressed woman as a perfectly tailored Buit, and I hasten
to tell you of tho exquisite merits of a ?90 suit which
Louis Sterling & Co., 1210 Walnut street, ladies' tailors,
aro fashioning to order this season. These folks are noted
for the clever modeling of their suit lines and their fino
materials. -Tho $90 suit will bo fashioned from your
choice of the best tricotincs (including tho new
herringbone tricotine), Poiret twill, and the finest serge,
or, If you prefer, you may have, at tho samo price, a suit
of English, whito cricket flannel or serge in white. In
deed, if you are in search of that enviablo chic of tho
correctly tailored woman I am confident that Sterling S
Co. can assist you most admirably.
The diminutive neckpicco of mnrtcn is to bo worn
with tailored frocks and suits this season, and it wa
surprise to find that one of the city's best fur shops, tho
House of Wenger, 1229 Walnut street, has neckpieces
fashioned of ono fine marten each for $65. Moreover, it
can be had cither dyed or natural, both of which hues arc
very rich. The neckpiece is just the right length for
smartness, and you will agree that its 'price is unexpect
edly reasonable. This same shop carries somo of tne
quccnliest pelts to bo had in our city.
It is a cause for sartorial thankfulness that taffeta is
again an approved spring material, for nothing is moro,
delightfully youthful. Tako, for example, a refreshing
littlo taffeta frock I glimpsed in tho Roseway Shop, wM
Walnut street. Gracefully round of neck und sniariiy
short of sleeve, it is vested in white lace, and unlBttM
about the neck and elbows with nccordionod rufiles of tno
taffeta. Tho apparently narrow though really generous
skirt is qualntncss itself, being puffed nnd punnercd ni
tho sides und unusually shirred to u plain panel nt tn
back and front. It is possible to obtain it in black, navy
brown, gray and rose. I was surprised to see it was re
duced to $39.50.
