My set indulges in painting, rolled stockings, sleeveless dresses and bobbed hair. Mother, being very up-to-date hersslf, approves of such things, but even though I dress that way my disposition and ways are quite different from the rest of the girls. Now for my difficulties: . I am In love with a young man who simply adores me. He is refined, intelligent and old-fashioned. He scorns drinking and smoking, and disapproves very much .of present fashions and of my painting and rolled stockings. Do you think he is right, and should I do as he says, or try to convince him that 1 must follow the example of mother and the girls? A DESPONDENT JUNIOR. Answer—Why not compromise and strike a bappy medium between the flapper and the old-fashioned girl? To be in the fashion one need not be extreme, and there is a wide differ- ence in using a little make-up, thereby giving nature a helping hand, “and being painted like a jezebel. Also, there are plenty of kirls who keep up with the proces- sion by stepping out in long stoc ings and who wear a decent covering over their arms. if you are, as you say, a thoughtful, dignified girl, you will be much improved in appearance by cxchanging your mother's style of dress for vour sweetheart's, because the giddy style of glad rags and conduct do not belong to you. They do not express you. Yet, ’spite thy strange antipodean moods, I love thy languid music in the woods.

Mae was nifty in a tan jersey frock of what the fashion magazines would call “simple lines,” and a tan and black softish hat. She wore a large dlamond ring. We immediately began to talk about men, r.adness and marriage. You get to feel clubby with Mae right off. She's like that.

Brown velvet bordered the diminutive sleeves and formed a loose, crushed girdle at the normal waistline, while tiny brown-tipped fur tails were scatiered hers and there on both bodice and skirt to add the finishing touches.

Danny Meadow Mouse crouched the farthest corner of a little'cup- board in the great man-bird, which, as you and I know, was an airplane. | His ears were filled with a ‘terrible noise, a noise more terrible than any | he had ever heard in all his life. It was worse than the worst thunder he | had ever heard, because there was no end to it. So Danny crouched In the corner of that littje cupboard and was sure that the Great World was com- ing to an end.

So Danny peeped out around the edge of the little door, which was part way open. He looked all about him hurriedly. The man was close to him, but he was back to him and seemed very busy about something. He didn’t look back at all. Danny ventured out & few steps and then his courage falled him and he darted back. He did it again, He dld it a third time. Each time he felt a little braver. The fourth time he scam- pered across and climbed up the op- posite side.

There were two reasons for this. One was that when he had looked down instead of finding the | ground within jumping distance just beneath him, he had discovered that ft was so far bhelow him that he wouldn't have known it was ground at all. The second reason was that when he had poked his head over the edge a terrible wind had struck him and actually had blown him back. Of all the frightened Meadow Mice that ever lived Danny Meadow Mouse was the most frightened as he scrambled back Into that tiny cup- board. For a while he was too frightened even to think. But at last when he was able to .think he knew what had happened. He had been carrled away by that great man-bird! He was up in the air' Yes, sir, he was way, way, way, way up in the air!

He wanted to be ‘on the”ground, the dear, safe, beautiful ground. Ves, sir, he want- ed this more than he had ever wanted anything in all his life. But thers was no way for him to get there until this dreadful great man- bird should come down. Now, in that little cupboard was a bunch ‘of soft cotton waste. Danny burfed himself in the middl® of it. It made a comfortable bed, 2 ycPy com- fortable bed. And there, frightened and ionesome, Danny Meadow Mouse waited for what might happen next. Scotch Eggs.
