or Intellectual woman cannot possibly
cook ! There Is something about cook
ing that reiptires dense ignorance!
A woman who is o charming Interior

symphony of cxipiislte taste, and whose
housekeeping ability is nbovc that of
1100 women In u thousand, sits next to
n mnn at a dinner. The dinner is in tht
man's house and Is very ordinary,
rather poorly cooked and served.
"Ah, ' says the host, with a Com-plalsunt-Mnrricd-Man
grin, "till" is
what I call a perfect meal ! My wife Is
the finest little cook In town. Of course,

(Again confusing "wife" with house-
keeper.) "Now. my wife can't play

What can you say? You arc a guests

Now. I do not mean to insinuate
thnt crciting good food and personally

It Is never good form to tn,ke a man's

"Mr. 24" Expresses Views
Dear Cynthia I'd llko to answer
Somebody's Stenog. U has been my ex
perience to meet girls and to have them
ask before anything else, "Do you
dance?" It's the first thing the average
girl thinks about, and If a man Is not a
good stepper he Is out In tho cold, so
far as girls are concerned.
The fellows simply have to llvo up
to the expectations of the nverage miss
If they want nny friendship nt nil.
There nre lots o fellows who do not
dance at nil. because they cannot get
to like this sort. It seems to me,
however, that a good dancer, gets by
nnywhero and again dancing Is not nn
expensive, pastime, and Is within reach
of nil.
So far as a good-night kiss Is con
cerned, with most fellows it's a habit,
and they don't mean anything by It.
Thev get turned down tlmo nnd time
again, but they nlways come back with
the same old question with every girl
they meet. Why take this thing so
seriously? There nre some girls who
wonder what Is wrong with a man If
ho does not try to kiss a pretty face
If ho has a chance. Kvery one has his
own Mens about such things. If I
were a girl. I would not kiss a mnn
if I did not want to ; I'd sooner lose his
friendship, I think most fellows will
agree with me on th" viewpoint o'
dancing that I take, and as for kissing,
well why bring up' this riiscusion
again? Cynthia thinks It has been
rion to death. MR. 24.
You are right, my friend, the k'sslng
discussion keeps coming up ad nauseam.
If the girls think It's all right, why
do they ask about It, nnd If they think
It's wrong why do they do It? H'h
about time to drop a subject to which
there Is only one nnswer.
Family Suddenly Objects
Dear Cynthia I have been a reader
of your column for several years and
have come to you for advice now.
I am a girl eighteen years of age.
I am considered good-looking by both
sexej.
I have been going with n young man
tlireo years my senior. My people liked
him very much nt first and they talked
him Into mo and 1 started to love htm.
He lived out of town and he came to
see me every Sunday nnd received let
ters two times a week. He moved to
Philadelphia June 2fi, l'J2t, and we went
to n wtdrilng, nnd when we came home
everything was all right. He asked me
when he could see me. I paid Wrrinei
day. He came down and everything
was all right. We went out and when
wo came homo mother asked him what
he did for a living and he told her.
Thursday night my mother told me
(Tint she did not want mo to go with
him becauso of his position. I went up
In the air and I wrote him a letter,
and he called me up and I told him
everything, and he said If 1 loved him
I wouldn't g.ve him up. I told him we
snan always oe menus.
About two or three weeks ago I gave
a party and I Invited his cousin, a girl,
and she told me that he said he was
angry because- I didn't Invite him.
I was on my vacation In Atlantic City
and saw him on the beach, but ho didn't
even say hello:
Now. Cynthia, I love this young man
I don't core what my people say as
long as I can have him. I love hlni and
I know ho loves me, nnd please tell mo
!iw I can gain his friendship again.

that she had known all along. Well,
it wns too Into to winy about that now
and. after all, Jimmy iod her and
needed her. lie might not undei stand,
hut he wo. lid never give her up, she was
certain of that.
Si im how, now that she was away
from Jimmy, she invested him with
qualities that he'did not possess when
she was with him. Her hi art ached for

Jumping up quickly, she ran across
the room to the wardrobe and opened

saw the clothes within, dresses for every
occasion mid two evening dresses. In

thing like it nor dreamed of possessing
clothcM like this.
She cMimined everything minutely

doll's head to a poor little pirltehosc
doll has been smashed. Jack fld'r.i
his own toy soldier to a poor llttlo
hoy who has lost a toy soldier In tho
river. The poor girl and poor hoy
give them slips of paper.
CHAPTER III
The Moonbeam Telephone
JACIC and Jnnct wcro very happy.
They held In their hnnds tickets to
tho Toyvlllobnll. They could scarcely
believe it.
Thev had thought the tickets to bo
only blank slips of pnper given them
by the HttJc boy nnd little girl to whom
they hnd been kind.
"Hurry!" Hobby Rottnccr urged
them. "Wp do not want to bo late for
the grand march."
Rut Janet had a disturbing thought.
"Wo have been put to bed for the
night." she cried. "Mother would not
like us to go outdoors again."
"I'll fix thnt with mother." Mild
Hobby Rounccr. "Where Is she?"
"She is nt Mrs. Rrown's party,"
answered Jack.
Hobby Rounccr picked up n tassel
dangling from tho window shndo cord
and spoko into it ns though it were a
telephone.
"Hello, is this the Moonbeam Tele
phone Central?" ho asked. "I wish
to talk to Mrs. Rrown's party, please."
Ho walled for a moment while J nek
and Janet watched nnd listened
anxiously. "Hello, is this Mrs.
Rrown's parly? l'lense, may T speak
to thu mother of Jock nnd Jnnct?"
Hobby Rounccr waited again, and
meanwhile winked nt Jack and Jnnct.
Then lie turned to the tnsscl telephone.
"Hello, mother. This is Hobby
Rounccr. May Jack and Janet go to
the Toyvillo ball vyH-h me tonight? Oh,
thank you. That will bo fine."
Rut Jnnct was doubtful. "You are
fooling us," she said frowning. "You
couldn't telephone to mother through
that cord." Hobby Rounccr chuckled
nnd held tho tn-ssel up to Janet."
"Listen for yourself." ho snid. Jnnct
listened nnd sure enough she heard her
inothcr'a voice.
"Yes, you nnd Jack mny go to tlie
Toy villi! ball with Hobby Rounccr,"
said her mother. "Rut bo sure you
mind Hobby Rounccr and do what lie
says."
With mother's permission. Jack and
Janet were ready to go. When they
reached the street Hobby Rounccr hnd
a suggestion. "You must not bo caught
by a policeman," he said, "it is nftcr
curfew hour nnd the big. nice police
men know little boys nnd girls ought to
be snug in bed nt this hour."
Jack and Janet agreed with that. And
thev knew they couldn't go far with
out meeting a policeman keeping guard
over the town nt night.
"I'll tell you what to do." said
Hobby Rounccr. "Make yourselves
small like me. and then the policemen
can't see you."
"How shnll wo make ourselves
small?" asked Janet.
"Rv nibbling the cookies Mr. I'ic
mnn. ' the Pastry Cook, gave you,"
chuckled Hobby Rounccr. Then Jack
and Janet remembered thnt Mr. I'lc
mnn hnd given them mngic cookies to
make thorn small, so they could get
through the secret door to the mys
terious garden.
"We left the cookies in our other
clothes," cried Janet in dismny.
"I was wise enough to remember
them," laughed Hobby Rounccr, nnd
on his bend they saw the two cookies.
Janet took one and Jack the other.
They nibbled on them, nnd in n trice
they were ns small as dolls. Now they
could dodge the policemen, and they set
off for the mysterious garden. Rut ns
I hey went Jack suddenly gave a shout
of warning.
"Run!" lie cried. "A great tiger is
following us."
(The strange nnd exciting wny in
which they were rescued from the tiger
will be told tomorrow.)

The Waitresses Who
Find a Way to Show Individuality
It Is Impossible to Make Women All Look Alike Just by Giving
Them the Same Kind of Clplhcs to Wear
WHEN she applied and was employed
ns a waitress In n tearoom they
gnve her n costume to wear.
It was really a uniform, because all
the girls were dressed alike, but It
seemed more like a costume because it
was attractive.
There was an old-blue dress, made
perfectly p'nln. with white collar and
cuffs, a llttlo white apron, and a white
cap. white shoes and stockings.
Now the enp was a strange affair,
which looked like a tiny bonnet when
pinned in its proper shape and held up
lu tho hnnd.
When the pins wcro undone It spread
out perfectly lint, but curves were cut
out to shapo It up Into tho hnt when
it was fastened.
And when It was put on the hend it
sprawled helplessly, its stiff starched
hem turning up across the front, Its
shies standing out In points over tho
temples of the wenrcr.
The new waitress had discovered at
some time or other lhnt a Dutch cap,
with Happy points slnndlng out like
blinders on both sides was very becom
ing. So she fixed her cap that waV,
with just one shy little loop of hair
down over her forehead showing in
front.
HER neighbor across the room wore
her cap severely perched on iho
front of her head, the gathered part
just resting on the top of her knot, the
front with Its starched Hare straight
across her eyebrows. It was becoming
to her.
A little curly-hnired girl near the
door appeared ench day in a regular
Mm bonnet, set back of tho wavy hang
over her brows, drawn down nnd pinned
so that she looked like "my prcttv
maid" who was "going u-mllklng." It
was becoming thnt wny.
The snappy-looking girl with care
fully waved hair, worn bnck from her
forehead with tho ends all rolled under

At this date wipe parents nro gather
Im? their children homo from the Idle
wilds to prcparo them for the new
school year. It Is a serious mistake to
keep pupils out ot their classes at tho
opening of BChooI. No extra days' In
tho country or nt the seashore can com
pensate for the time lost In class.
Kvery .teacher knows bow dlfllcult It Is
to reopen tho minds of children nfter
two or threo months of rusting Idleness,
Few and far between nro the American
parents who insist upon a "school-book
hour" every day during vacation an
hour which serves to keep .the mind
Ilexlhlo and receptive. It takes a week
or two to re-form the study-habit In
school nfter n wholly Idle vacation, and
when tho class Is well launched Into new
lessons the work has to ho done nil over
again for late-comers whoso tardy ad

There's no use trying. You cannot
