b LA PAZ & w. Thirty-Fourth Day. LA PAZ, Bolivia, February 8. spent the morning playing golf up on he “Alto” with the American consul The La Paz Golf Club has the highest in the course world—it's up mor than 14,000 feet. The links are per actly flat, but well bunkered. They | =ay that it is possible for a goifer to rive a bgll farther here than any rhere in the world, because of the thin atmosphere. But not Golfer Rip ev. I lost my breath and three balls 1d nearly froze to death. I was glad 1o get down in the big hole again here La Paz is piled—and pisco is poured Along the Calle Comercio near the Plaza T came across a flaring poster. it read: ia! Bell Moderno! Moral! INCES pectaculo! Altamente! TEATRO PR HOY uch a show of virtues! anvbody resist them! Boletas—uno boliviano.” So T paid one “bill"” for a ticket. That i The show be- gan at 9 The theater was crowded h men, who wore their hats, overcoats and canes during the entire performance. Ladles never at- tend theaters at night. Really, in south America ladies are not sup- ed to do anything but stay in the puse. Did I say How could about 35 cents 0.at night. w that no women were pres. ent? There was one. A lone little Cholita, wrapped from head to foot in black shawl, sat up in the darkened =allery at the place where it joins the stage, and slyly raised the edge of her BEDTIME STORIES Como no? ~ To THE MARKET PLACE 7 . ,manta now and then to risk an eye on the audience. “Ba-Ta-Clan™ is a French musical comedy produced in Paris a year or o | ago. But you would never have guess- | ed it. The three principals were from Buenos Aires and the rest of the cast was made up happazard—Iless hapl. than hazardous, however. There w {a chorus of four. “Arte’ “Gracia egancia” and “‘Belleza,” I suppose. The theme of the thing was “jazz.” South Americans are not quite sure what ‘“jazz” is. but they are crazy about it, just the same. Every time the word was spoken the belle from | Buenos Afres would skip to the foot- lights and begin to shake herself. She was not properly equipped bf nature to be much of a success, but she put on a brave front. The leading man was a yo(ng fel low of about who had dyed his hair white. Why, I don’t know. But Shu- bert will get him yet. Little Cholita up in the gallery remained more or | less passive until he came on. Then | she leaned forward and.exposed both | eves. Now and then the white-topped | hero raised his eyes in her direction— | and each time she almost fell out of | the gallery. The old story of the beg- gar maid and Prince Charming. Aln't love grand? The grand finale is the talk of the town. The four chorus ladies, led by the gallant hero, descended from the stage and paraded down the aisles—a la Follies. This stunt evidently was an innova- tion in La Paz. It was almost a riot. I was almost killed in the crush as | they stampeded for a closer view. Canes were broken and hats were smashed. Then came the curtain, and the lit- tle Cholita scurried out into the night and ran home to her little mud hut, where, no doubt, she spent the rest of the night dreaming of her white- haired boy. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS Assistant Gardener. He lucky is, and bl indeed. Who to explain has never need. Jimmy Skunk knows, for of all the e people who live in the Green adow or in the Old Pasture or in e Green Forest, none is so generally misunderstood by man. Sometimes Jimmy thinks that these two-legged reatures are just plain stupid. So vhen he does meet with one who cally understands him Jimmy ighted. Both Jimmy and Mrs. had found out by this time that they were understood by all the Brown ramily, and, as they wentgand came, hey were for all the world as if they helonged there quite as much as Black sy or Bowser the Hound. They st didn't pay v attention to FFarmer Brown or Brown or to mer Brown's 3 hese Spring days were bus; (T X T | I v days ALL AT ONCE B N TO DIG WITH THOSE LITTLE BLACK CLAWS OF HIS. on the farm, for the early planted things were beginning to grow in the rden and then there were the late ngs to plant. Farmer Brown's Boy a busy boy in that garden. One ornin, hen he went over tp look the strawberry bed, he found a ymber of dead plants and jt-didn’t ike him long to find out that the )ots had been destroyed He dug n and discovered a white grub,| st such a grub as had been at work | the lawn. He recalled then having ad that the white grub, which in me would be a June bug or May wectle (it is called both names) is one the worst pests in a strawberry bed. mer Brown's Boy looked the strawberry bed over anxiously. *“The ouble is that there is no knowing where these pests are until the mis- hief has been done and then no way f getting them but by digging them - Oh. dear, 1T am afraid this bed ill be ruined this vear and I had hoped to have a lot of berries to sell. s there is no use counting on that,” sald he. Tust then he heard funny little <ound behind him and turned to look. T'here, ambling along the garden path was Jimmy Skunk. The freckled face armer Brown's Boy broke into a crin. He hastily dug out another white grub and tossed it out in front f Jimmy. Jimmy promptly ate it then, just as if he understood and what was wanted of him, which, of | ourse, he didn’t, he turned aside into he strawberry bed. He at least knew that that white, fat, delicious grub rad come from that strawberry bed ind he was wise in the ways of white zrubs. He knew that where one was more were likely to be. o0, with hardly a glance at Farmer Brown’s Boy, Jimmy Skunk began to nose about among the strawberry plants. All at once he began to dig vith those little black paws of his and n a moment he had another fat white zrub. Of course he was pleased with . but vou should have seen the de- iht of Farmer Brown's Boy. Farmer Hrown himself came over just then ‘Meet my assistant gardener,” said rarmer Brown's Boy, pointing to jimmy Skunk, who already was dig- zing up another grub. “I thought we sere going to lose that bed, but I ziess we will have plenty of berries after all. If Jimmy Junsay down here we certainly will, td will bring Mrs. | for, between them, they will soon get all the grubs there.” | It all came about just as Farmer Brown's Boy had hoped it would. In a few days and nights that straw- berry bed had been cleared of white grubs and the assistant gardener |turned his attention to other things. Farmer Brown's Boy discovered that, where in the morning he found the footprints of Jimmy Skunk, no more cutworms were destroying young and tender plants. Still later he discovered ¢ | Jimmy looking over the tomato plants and taking the big green caterpillars that did no much damage. Again he found him in the potato patch feasting on the hated potato beetle. So it w that Jimmy Skunk became assistan gardener to Farmer Brown's Boy.

New, York | | G STAR, WASHINGTON Which shall I choose? . BACHELOR. Answer: Well, Mr. Bachelor, as you have that unruly organ, the heart, under such complete control that you can malke it do your bidding at will, T should say that it doesn’t greatly matter to which lady you cast the handker- chief. You can throw yvourself into a hypnotic state in which you will see _\'}(‘)ur tr‘l_:n'plce as the right one and never let your affections wander toward the other. It is a gift (o be able (o love to order. and if you have really solved the secret of how to do it you will be a great benefactor to your fellow men, and especially to your fellow women, if you will reveal your method of inducing this mental state. Few have this power, and my desk swims about in a sea of tears shed by those who love the wrong person. But to return to your case, you will, without doubt, act with wisdom and discretion if you transfer your affections from girl No. 1 to girl No. 2. Nothing but being helplessly and hopelessly in love with No. 1 would make her desirable as a wife. She has too many handicaps. First, in her health, for the man who marries a delicate woman lets himself in not only for a lifetime of toiling to pay doctors’ and nurses' bills, and drug bills, and sanitarium bills, but for having to put up with the whims and peevishness of a semi-invalid. Her second handicap is her family, who, being poor and extravagant, will certainly have to be supported by their children and their in-laws when they are old. And. lastly. the fact that vour family dislikes her would always be a flv in your ointment, because nothing is more unpleasant than the civil warfare carried on between uncongenial in-laws. On the other hand, girl No. 2 has everything in her favor to make her a real helpmeet. Her family would be an asset instead of a burden to you, and your family relationship would be agreeable all the way around But perhaps. when vou try out your method of loving at will. you will not find that it works as well in practice as it does in theory, and you will ascertain that you prefer No. 1 after all DOROTHY DIX. AR .DOROTHY DIX: 1 am a young woman employed as a telephone operator and ask you why it is that some men seem to think it mannerly to greet me with ‘‘dearie,”” “girlie,” “sweetness” and like terms when asking for numbers? These men would not dare to so address a decent girl it they met her face to face. Why do they do it? Do they mean to be offensive, or are they just common? SWITCHBOARD. Answer: Just common. IUs ignorance. have no idea of offending yop. On the contrary. themselves with you, and they mean to be kind They are to be judged by their ow address the girls in their own social ¢ They know no better. They they think they ingratiate and friendly. ‘Their point of view is precisely that of the shopgirls who address every customer as “dearie” insulting this sound: or ‘“‘honey especially and who have no conception of how en it comes from a little 16 or 17 year old flapper to a gray-haired dowager. The telephone company cannot stop fresh men -from addressing their operators as “sweetness’ and “dearie,” but certainly the manager of every, store should make an iron-clad rule that no customer should be called “dearie” by an emplove. What we need in this country is some term of address that takes the place of the French “madame” and ‘‘mademoiselie,” and that is at once courteous and dignified. As it is, saying “Miss” or “Mrs.” with no name attached sounds =o bald, and addressing a stranger you™ is so brutal that it is hardly to be wondered that the adventurous fall back on “dearie.” DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I am a 165-pound man crazy in love with a 105-pound little French girl, American born. As a sweetheart she is 100 per cent to the good. but as a wife—I don't know, and that is where I want your judgment. I can't get her to be serious. She takes everything lightly, and hasg't that complete confidence in men that she ought to have. She never believes wholiy everything that men tell her. : She is a cuddly little thirig, highly emotional: in fact. has all the qualifica tions a man wants in his sweethear(, but should I look for some one more quiet and steady for a wife? MERE MAN. Answer: If you have found a woman that you arve crazy over, what more can a mere man ask? Happiness in matrimony doesn't depend a hundredth part as much upon our husbauds and wives coming up to our ideals as it does upon their firing our fancies, A woman may possess all the virtues in the world and yet leave her husband cold if she has not that indefinable something about her that appeals to him. No man loves his wife because she is good, and sensibie, and practical. He loves her because she expresses his taste in women, because she amuses him and entertalns him, and continually piques his interest Evidently this little French girl affects you that way. She fascinates you because she laughs at you and keeps you stimulated and amused, and that kind of a woman makes a most desirable wife and one who does not let matrimony descend into dullness and boredom. As for her saying that she doesn’t take men seriously or believe half they tell her, that shows her good sense. You will find that you can rely on her judgment and that she will not easily be fooled. No women in the world make better wives than French women. They are industrious, frugal, full of pep and ambition, and they have a marvelous loyalty and devotion to their families.
