Their stomaghs grew emptier and emptier. Several times they tried to get out to hunt for something to eat, but the storm drove them back. Reddy and Mrs. Fox and Old Man Coyote were no better off.

EAR MISS DIX: Y am engaged to be married to a yovng man who, I think, thinks teo much of appearances. He will not go to the theater for weeks at a time S0 as to save money until he can have the best seats. He eats at cheap restaurants, but buys his clothes from the smartest shops. He is always trying to copy the ways and manners of people in a higher rank than ours. I think it's foolish, and we are always argulng about it becauge he wants me to do the same way he does. What do you think? MABEL C. /Answer: Why, I would either break off the engagement, or get ready to climb with my young man. For he is going to the top of the ladder. Any young chap who has got the grit and self-denlal to do without what he wants at the moment to get something better in the future is golng to hive the thing he wants in the long run. He h lon, and 8 the prize ahead of hi: He knows where he Is going, and he is on his way, and he Is fitting himself for it as he goes along becaufle he is learning. He is taking what they have to give him from everybody he meets. And it's a great talent to be able to do that. It seems foollsh to you for your sweetheart not to be willing to take a back seat at the theater, but it's the men who are willing to work and walt for the front seats In life who get them. They refuse to compromise on a third best, or a second best, and to be satisfied with it, and they are the real go-getters. And don’t undervalue clothes, Mabel. Somebody sald that clothes do not make the man. Perhaps not, but they give you a man's number. A kind heart does often beat under u shabby coat, and a brilllant brain funetion beneath a battered old hat, but 99 times out of 100 it wouldn't be safe to lend either one money if you expected to get it back. For shabbiness {5 the hallmark of inefielency. “The man who doesn’t know how to dress himsslt and who Is out at elbows, and needs pressing and cleant i fixing up, is nearly always lazy and shiftless.

EAR MISS DIX? There are two girls I could marry, and I cannot ehooss ! between them. Both are pretty, well educated, at degirable from every point of view, but one of them I :;?:s‘;: ;‘:,lr: :,:‘f::,’lz arfd pleasant to get along with than the other. Which one would you ehoose | if you were in my place? SAM T, MeeoC | | Answer: 1 shouldn't marry either unless I had more of an urge toward | matrimony than you seem to have. When you are married you are married | a long, long time, and jt seems longer unless you are very much In love with the one to whom you are united in the holy bonds of matrPmony—which | are apt to be galling if they are not padded with a deep personal attraction toward your yokemate. Generally speaking, however, the greatest charm that any woman can have after marriage s amiability. Beauty palls upon the eyes of the beholder. Wit dulls in domesticity, but we never weary of the sweet, tranquil disposition, which is like ol upon the troubled waters of family life, The best loved wives are not those who have really done the most for men, who have worked tho hardest for them, and who have helped them to realize their ambitions. The adored wives are the placid women who are | never nervous and out of sorts; who never nag or lecture or fret, but to whom a man can go home sure of rest and peace. . The most loved mothers are not the mothers who sacrifige most for their children. and who make of their hard-worked shoulders a ladder on whieh | their children climb to success. The mother whom children worship is the gentle, sweet mother who never scolded, who never had hysterfcal spells of anger, who had no nerves or temper they had to sidestep. It Is the mother on whose quiet breast they could sob out their childish sorrows and come into a harbor safe from all outside storn The happiest homes are not those which are the cleanest, the most orderly, the best kept. They are those in which a happy, good-natured woman relgns and spreads about her her own aurora of peace and good will. In an old New England graveyard I once saw this inscription on a tomb aver a woman's grave: “She was so pleasant.” There could be no nobler epitaph for o woman, and wise {s the man who chooses such a woman for a wife. DOROTHY DIX. e s o BAR MISS DIX: My son is golng to be married, and it is absolutely necessary that T should live with him and his wife. How can I get along with my daughter-in.Jaw?

A guest does everything in her power to make herself | agreeable to her hostess, and to give as little trouble as possible. And she never, never, nevs ter how much she s tempted to do &0, offers any criticism or suggestions about how her hostess manages her household, or what ehe spends, or where she goes, or what she does.

It lasted all the night following. No one could get out to leok for food. It was then that the thrifty re- joiced in their thrift. The Squirrel cousins didn’t go humgry. Of course, they had plenty of food stored right whera they could get it. Danny and Nanny Meadow Mouse and Whitetoot the Wood Mouse didn't mind the storm, for they also hed food stored They hadn't minded the great storm at first. But as it continued as if It never would end and thelr stomache became wholly empty they began to suffer. Some of them began to grow weak with hunger. The feathered folk knew that if they could get up to Farmer Brown's house Farmer Brown's Boy would have food spread for them. But they couldn’t get up there. They | couldn’t go out in that dreadful storm. | So most of the little people wers prisoners in thelr homes or shelters, and only the thrifty ones weee fres from suffering, the thrifty ones and the sleepers.
