T wonder if mothers ever ardently
wish that they could dress their small
children In rubber clothes so that as the
ilnldren grow which all children seem
to havo a habit of doing the clothes
would stretch right nlong and grow with
i tlio children. Seriously, though, it is
bad enough to havo babies grow out of
su.all undergnrments and dresses with
out having them shrink the garments,
I mean; Tiny baby shirts now nro ex
penshe, ai,d they will shrink, unfor
ii,ii,itl.. Hut it is possible to offiet
this considerably by the use of an In
fant's shirt stretcher. It is n wooden
frunie, on which the shirt is placed ira-
niediateit niter It is wasned, aim it
ioMs the shirt firm nnd prevents tho
limine shrinkage. The price is sixty
five cents.

ram up io mm, nnu lor a moment me-y
did not sneak, as he held her close. Ho
could feel the hard beating of her heart
and tho aulck llttlo breathB that becmed
to shake her slight body.
"Not frightened, arc you?" ho asked
finally, as ho helped her Into the buggy.
She shook her head. "Not with you."
The worda came In a whisper. Her
eves under the wide brimmed hat wero
like stars.
They drove on through the starry
night, the road stretching like a Bilver
ribbon before them, llttlo breaths from
the hay fields on cac,l,8ldo of them fill
ing tho world with sctness. Charlotte
wns huddled close against Tony as
though sho trusted him Implicitly, and
for a time they didn't talk.
"I thought Greenvlllo "would be tho
best place," he said finally. "No one
knows you over there, so I drove over
yesterday and fixed things up."
Charlotte did not answer.
"Sweetheart." he said leaning down to
look into her faco, "You'ro not unhappy
about anything, aro you?"
Shu shook her head In quick denial,
and again they wero silent. Soon the
llehts of Greenville began to gleam
ahead of them, nnd Charlotte sat up
strnlclu as thev drove Into the village
snd stopped before a little white house
on a street that was hardly more than
a lane.
Afterward everything seemed blurred

before Bho stood up beside Tony, but
nothing was very clear In her mind, her
henrt was beating so very loud, and her
breath was coining fast Just as though
sho had been running.
The minister read In a slightly dron
ing olco out of a little black book, and
Charlotte made her answers in a quick,
frightened little voice that hounded
strangely unlike her usual tones. Tony's
answers wero loud and firm; they com
forted her And then suddenly it was

Allow Boys to Call
Dear Cynthia Would like to know If
It Is correct for a young girl, sixteen
years old, to have her boy friends call
nt th house to see her, also If sho
should bo allowed to go out with boys

vour column, especially De Jure, Lx
Top Kick, etc., and would like you to
nnswer my questions as soon as possible.
WAITING.
It Is far wiser to allow boys to call,
when n girl wants to have them come,
than to forbid It. It's natural and nor
mal for girls nnd boys to bo friends,
and If they aro not allowed to meet at
home they are apt to find ways of mcet
(ntr outside, it u hent to make one s
homo n hospitable place, where one s
children's friends like to come nnd feel
tney aro woicomo. , ,
It Is bettor not to allow a young g rl
out nlono with n boy or with a "crowd.
as nicy can it, in mo evenings, nnu
should have tin older twrsnn with her.
This hnb't of going out In the ceilings,
meeting boys on tho Btrcet corners,
screaming and calling across the streets
to encn otner. nnd wnlkln ine pave

rehonslble, It makes a girl coarse and

The Strange Hoots

Tho moon hnd now arisen in the cast.
It was a bright, full moon, but the gale
was driving black clouds across the sky
and every few minutes they would hide
tho moon, shutting off Its light. Peggy
looked nnNlously for the crows, but now
sho could not seo them. Tho crows had
reached the trees of Blrdland nnd had
hidden In tho foliage They were walt
ng for a signal from Caw-Caw Crow
to surprise tho sleeping birds.
Soon Peggy henrd a rustling all
around her She knew what It meant.
The crows were there
"Listen," she whispered to Judge Owl,
who had alighted on her shoulder as she
stood in the shadow of heavy bushes.
They were very, very quiet and after
awhile they could hear the chuckling of
the crows.
"Haw! Haw! Haw! We'll give the
birds n bcaro and a thrashing !" tittered
the voice, of Caw-Caw Crow. "Haw !
Haw ! Haw ! Kach crow find tho nest
of a sleeping bird and when I c.iw four

THEY'VE never known, theso scof

that comes when one effort after an

deavor has met with hard luck.
They don't ronlizo how cruelly luinl
It is to go on making excuses for your
frdf when you've tried nnd failed over
nnd over again, through what seems to
be no fault of your own.
They have never had to stiffen their
upper lips, nnd push their chins up
and say, for tho fourth or fifth time,
"Well, if it hadn't been for that ono
little mistake" (or that ono little piece
of hard luck, or that one miscalcula
tion, or whatever it was), "I'd have
done it that time."
They don't know how tiresome nnd
heart-breaking this kind of self-encouragement
Is, because you always know
that you're Just bluffing yourself, any
how, just whistling to keep up your
courugo.
And they don't understand that It's
becauso you have reached the end of
your ropo that you glvo up and spread
your hands helplessly and say "I'm
Just no use In this world, I d0nT
know why I was ever put here."
It makes things harder for you that
they don't understand, couldn't under
stand, nnd probably wouldn't care in
if they could. ,0
You have tiiat to fight as well n,
yourself. "
BUT, after all, yourself Is tho most
difficult person with whom you haw
to deal.
' Yourself is stubborn, unwilling to be

And, too, the laziness and selflshnesi
that ,self- pity Inspires nre reaching out

Into that rut of discouragement nnd
hopelessness.
You have to fight when you get into

drooping mouth corncrs,"nnd that tear
ful, wishy-washy statement that there's
no uso for you. t
That puts you on your mettlo and
you have-to go on trying.
Your troubles nre mostly vague, any
how, you were probably hungry hca
you reached tho conclusion that you
were of no uso; hunger can do such
terrible things with your feelings,

Somo day, when everything has

The raw of Caw-Caw Ciow was cut

Viewpoints
TTlVEItY MAN'S experience colors. If it docs not create, bis particular view
'""' point. Half a dozeu people will look nt a thing and no two of them may
sec the same thing.
Take a woman's hat, for instance :
The proprietor of a mi'linery store will look at the hat, and the hat will say:
"So much a dozen, so much apiece, so much gross profit."
A married mnii looks nt the hot nnd rends:
"So much a hat. so many a season, so much dead loss!"
The designer looks nt the hat and tliluks:
"Good lines, pretty color scheme, nicely balanced."
Ono woman glances nt it nnd whispers :
"fiorgeous! Hieh ! Nothing like it! More stunning th'au Mary's!"
Mary looks at it and fumes:
"Outrageous! I.oud! Wouldn't last a week! Colors would run like a
racehorse! A lot of trash for a pi'e of cn-h ! A little touching up and last
year's will have 'em nil heat a nillo!"
So it goes with everything a inau or woman has done or thought tincturing
his or her Ideas and conclusions. '
One man looks at the ocean and thinks of tho enormous fortunes (hat touM
be made recovering its suuken treasures,
Another looks nt it and wonders why somebody docs not invent a practical!!
device for eMrncting its salt in marketable, profitable quantities.
Another shudders at the rccol'ectlon of seasickness and bilious headache.
And still nuothcr, a friend of mine and a pepful, successful book publisher,
looks at the ocean nnd catches its inspiring and vitalizing message.
"Keep moviu', boy," it says to him, "keep movin' ! The rcasou I am so
popular and so much admired is becauso I nover stop, I just keep on movin'. und
rollin', and tosbin', assuming all sorts of fantastic and beautiful forms in mr

"And never get discouraged, boy, never get discouraged just because you

"So, remember my lesson, boy keep movin' and don't get discouraged!"

There's nothing new about the "clear

us that it dates back to the seventeenth
century In London, and It's quite pos
sible that even the ancient L'ttyptlans
knew about it. They understood most
things which wo, today, regard as of
comparatively modem origin. But, In
at least one American city. It took a
woman to put a clearing house on its
