There are so many colors, materials

Where plaited georgette is to be used,

georgette is sewed over nnd over to the

n particular piece of work, laying the

"I con squash you as flat as a pan

he thought he had played n great joke
on tho children.
Jack or Jaliet didn't know whether
It was n Joke or not. They were much
surprised to find themselves at short ns

it was rather fun, too. Jack looked so

so roly-poly comlcnl to Jack he couldn't

grin further than Jack or Janet.
"Would you like me to squash you

Jimmy when he came to see her that
night.

that the life of n working man with
responsibilities was no easy one. In

Biakeslee. and her lip curled. The next
minute she yvns ashamed of herself,
and tried to make up for it by being
as sweetly sympathetic as possible.
She vras rewarded for her efforts, for
Jimmy slowly responded.
"Everything will be different when
we're married." he said finally, "and
by the way, Theo, there's no neces
sity for waiting, is there? Let's make
it soon."
Theo started. Why did thnt feeling
of revolt lenp suddenly into her heart?
Why had she a desire Jo postpone the
event tor inc preseiu: ii was an
wrong, for, of course, she wanted to
marry Jimmy, and if she wanted to
marry him why not now as well as any
time Inter?
Impulsively, nnd to punish herself
for her doubt, she responded quickly.
"Of course there's no need of wait
ing. I'll marry you whenever you
sav."
"In n month?" he nked eagerly.
She nodded slowly, but there wns
no thrilling lenp of the heart at the
suddenness of it; she wob willing be
cause it was Jimmy, that was all.
He got up quickly and came over to
where bhe was sitting in n corner of
tho couch. "Theo," he said suddenly,
"you don't know how I'm depending
on you." He lenned his bend against
her shoulder ns if he wero tired, nnd
again Thco had n strong Impulse. She
wanted to turn and shake him Into
action. She wanted him to need her,
but in a different way. Sho wanted
1.1m to crush her in his arms, to tell
her how he adored her. She had no
idea where these vagrant thoughts ot
hers enmc from, but something about
Jimmy's complacency irritated her
strongly. Sh snt there stroking his

lie sat up quickly to say, "You'll tell
old Biakeslee tomorrow that you're
leaving?"
"Yes."
"I've been thinking it over and I've
decided that you're right. It wouldn't

nnd I'm glad you decided ngainst it. I

"I wisli you wou'dn't speak of him

Jimmy stared at her. "Why not?
What's wrong with it?"
"Well, he's not old. for one thing,
nnd It doesn't sound right for another.
He's splendid, nnd I've been proud to

Theodora laughed nt Jimmy's tirade.
"Nonsense! He prohnblv doesn't even
know what I look like."
"Perhnps not, but ho knows how
you work, and this time I'll have my
inning nnd get tho best of one of those
men thnt think they own the enrth.
This time. I win, eh. Theo?"
But the smile thnt Thco gave him
was forced.
(Tomorrow "I'm Going to Be
Married!")
Down jumped Bobby Bouncer. He
hit on nn nster bloom. It bent be
neath him, nnd. so, instead of bouncing
back Into the tfee ns he expected to do,
he rolled upon tho sidewalk.
This was Jack's chance to catch
Bobby Bouncer.
"I've got you," he shouted, nnd with
Janet he rushed nt Bobby Bouncer.
But Bobby Bouncer went scurrying
across tho nidewnlk. Jack nnd Jnnct
were astonished to sec thnt Bobby
Bouncer, Instead of being nil head, ns
a rubber ball usually is, had a pair of
very spry legs.
"Catch me! Catch me!" laughed
Bobby Bouncer, dodging bock nnd
forth. Jack grabbed at him.
"I've got Vou," cried Jack, trying
to seize Bobby Bouncer. But he found
he cou'dn't seize Bobby. There was
nothing to seize except Bobby Bouncer's
round rubber head, and Jack's hnnd,
which was now small, couldn't hang
on to that.
"Ho! ho! I fooled you. didn't I,"
laughed Bobby Bouncer. "Ho! hoi bo!
It's fun playing tag with folks who
can't catch you." Bobby Bouncer tried
to tense Jack by jumping in front of
him. Jack didn't like to be teased, and
when he saw he couldn't hang on t.o
Bobby Bouncer, he did the noxt best
thing he gave Bobby a push nnd sent
Bobby tumbling on his nose.
But Bobby didn't stay on his noso an
inatnnt. He kept right on turning
over, just like a circus acrobat in a
somersault, and came upon his feet.
"Push me again. That's fun,"
taunted Bobby Bouncer, grinning glee
fully. Jnnet gave him a shove. Over
went Bobby Bouncer on his ear, and
over and over, but he came on his feet,
grinning nnd jolly.
Now Bobby Bouncer began to run
away down the walk.
"I haven't nny more time now to
piny tag with you," he shouted. I
havo nn engagement with the Pastry
Cook of Toyvllle."
"Don't go without helping us get
back to boy nnd girl size," cried Jack,
who -didn't J.tnow what In the world
he nnd Jnnet would do if they had to
stay small.
"I con't help you now," laughed
Bobby Bouncer. "The Pastry Cook
will not wait after 4 o'clock."
Jack and Jnnet didn't know what
else to do, so they chaBcd after him.
"T7WERY time I plan something
i-i awfully nice for myself." snld
Elsie drearily, "you know, when I
think tin something awfully nice that
I'd love tf) have happen to me, why,
then, II happens to somebody else!"
Have you ever liad this discouraging

Elsie dreams some dreams about
how she'd like to be "where she nln I,

Adventures With a Purse
MABEL has bought a new gas stove
and is wondering how she will keep
it absolutely new and clean. Her other
one would collect rust, despite the fact
that she rubbed nnd cleaned religipusly.
The new stove stood in its corner, nil
bright nnd shiny, and Mabel groaned
as she thought of tho Inevitable rust
that would soon mar its polished sur
faces. So I told her of something I
had found while adventuring, and she
almost bugged the stove. A few drops
of liquid applied to tho polished plnces
of tho gas or kitchen stovo, nnd also to
the kitchen utensils, will remove rust
and tho kitchen will fairly sh nc. It Is
but thirty-five cents a bottle, and a
little bit goes a long way.
An extra umbrella is a very excellent
thing to havo nbout, nnd ns I was
badly In need of one I "went peering
into all the umbrclln shops and depart
ment stores. To be ourc, I wanted
the best, but I also did not wish to
spend very much for it. I came across
a counter with some real bargains, nnd
Immediately bought .one tor myself and
Bent one home to Margaret. There were
several styles, but I bought a deep
purplo silk one. The handle is brown
leather and has a loop strap to slit)
over the wrist. 11 nas inc aiumi, omu
point that has been so greatly In favor
and was priced at gO.OO.
If you wish to win the heart of a
little boy or girl, buy for that small
person a wooden toy dog I havo seen.
Quite largo in size, he has jointed legs,
which makes It possible to bend the
dog in any number of positions. He
sits on his hind legs and begs or will
perch on his front legs, with the hind
fellows dragging nfter him. And, best
of all, the cover on his back lifts off nnd
has 'a compnrtment in which may be
tucked some candy. The dog is priced
nt $2.50 and would mnkc a jolly play
fellow.

Two Minutes of Optimism
By HERMAN J. STICH
Smile It
T WOULD give, n million dollars," Ogden Armour is reported to have nald,
1 "for Charley Schwab's smile."
And the great meat magnate probably considered it cbenp at double the price!
"The voice with the smile," says the telephone company, "wins."
If you don't believe it, try to get n number with n voice without a umllo!
It Is smiles that get business, smiles that get numbers, smiles that keep the
sun of human kindness shining, binlles that keep homes contented, smiles that
preserve the music und the poetry in life.
If you've got unything to say smile it!
Every once in a while wc run into 0110 of llfe,'s squalls.
The ship enreens precariously nnd things get mighty black.
Then somebody smiles, keeps smiling; nnd nfter a time we begin to see
sunrays nnd suubeams penetrntiug the storm, growing wider nnd wider, stronger
nnd stronger, dUsipating the storm, displacing the storm, suddenly flooding the
gloom with radiance and restoring light nnd hope.
If you've got anything to sny smile it!
You can't hurt the man who smiles, you can't rile him, unman him, unseat
him; you may check him, but you can never wreck him.
No cloud can be heavy enough, no drudgery monotonous enough, no night
dark enough but the smiler's smiles light up n rift nnd coax back gladness,
beauty , sympnthy ami humanity, disintegrating grief.
Vanderbilt, Bnrnum, Currnn, Bunynn, l'ranklln, Watt, Newton, Garfield,
Washburn. Roosevelt, Michael Anselo practically every face in the honor gallery
of history, of science, commerce, art, literature, statesmanship of ACCOM
PLISHMENT -Is a face that smiles.
Grumpy, dreary, surly faces simply exude ill-nature, ill-health and fnllure.
Cheery, sunny, smiling faces radiate good nature, good health and success.
If you've got anything to say or do SMILE JT!

Sleep time Is the time when
the reconstructive processes in
your body are busiest turning
food into blood, and nerve tissue,
and living cells.
That's the reason why lack of
sleep makes you irritable, ineffi
cient and nervous; and why you
lack "punch" when you don't get
a proper amount of the right
kind of sleep.
It has been the experience
of many that the cup of tea or
coffee, taken at meal-time, robs
them of sleep.
In Gould and Pyle's Cyclo
pedia of Medicine and Surgery
you'll find that "caffein is a rap
idly acting stimulant to the brain
and spinal cord, 'quickens the
action of the heart, and raises
blood pressure."
This makes it a very good
medicine if prescribed by a doctor
for cases of collapse, when a pa
tient needs to have his system
abnormally forced into activity.
But caffeine is not good for
people whose systems don't need
to be drugged.
So if you don't get your proper
sleep at night, it may be because
you are being kept awake by
tea or coffee.
Stop tea and coffee for awhile
and drink Postum the delicious
cereal beverage.
Postum is a pure cereal prod
uct, and contains no harmful
element whatsoever. Your first
taste of Postum will surprise and
please you. Many people prefer
the flavor of Postum to that of
coffee.
Order Postum from your gro
cer today. Drink this hot, re
freshing beverage in place of tea
or coffee for ten days, and see
what a wonderful difference it
will make in the way you feel.
