The sleeves are long, and fit the arms like gloves, while narrow vel- vet ruffies border them at the wrists, adding a smart touch.

Danny Meadow Mouse was begin- ning to get used to the Sunny South, e hadn't found his way back to the great man-bird, or airplane, which had brought him down there and where he felt sure Nanny was. He missed Nanny, but not as much as he would have had there not been 20 much that was new and strange to him to look at and wonder about. He was beginning to feel more at home than he had at first. Almost avery day he saw Mr. Mocker the Mockingbird, and this helped a lot. Then one day he had a glad sur- prise. He had stopped to rest under | a plant which bore some bright flow- He heard a humming sound, and then before he could quite make out | where it came from a sharp, equeaky voice cried: “Am I dreaming, this Danny Meadow Mous “It {8 me.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., Fiance Who Thinks Engagement Rings “Silly.” Working Girl Whose Mother Appropriates Her Pay Envelope—Husband Whose Wife Won’t Forget.

I also like to dress prettily, but he objects to that, and says that it is not proper to wear fine clothes and use cosmetics. One time we had a slight quarrel and he struck me. Do vou think he will make a good husband, and make me happy?

Wat? Yee gods, And he toc Answer: Why, your poor foolish child, can't you see that your that would be your portion If you marry this man? By his actions, he has shown you that he is stingy and brutal, and it he displays those qualities before marriage, you may be very sure that he will be ten times more of a tightwad, and a bully, and a brute after marriage. The man who will not buy his sweetheart an engagement ring—who thinks engagement rings silly—has no sentiment or romance in his make-up, and matrimony is a mighty bleak and arid desert for a woman if she has to live with a husband who never wreathes any of the flowers of fancy about it, who never cclebrates any anniversary or shows her any tender, loverlike attentions or gives her any little useless gift just because it s & happy milestone in their journey together. a sed, O for t you go up ke them, wy n in my room Nor is there any husband who is a meaner husband than the stingy husband. Never marry a man who hus a Yale lock on his pocketbook, for it you do you wlill find yourself a slave who is even begrudged her food and clothes. When & man says he doesn't like to Ses & woman with pret ¢lothes on, and 1ooking her best, it Is because he Is a miser who begrudges he price. As for marrying a man who has struck you before marriage, you will deserve to be beaten If you become his wife. You've had a touch of hix fist and know him for the brute he is, and if you have one grain of sense in_your head, you will not put yourself in his power. Before marrfage many men and women show their real quality and give their sweethearts a good chance to foretell the sort of husbands and wives they will make. A tip to the wise should be sufficlent.
