Never had ter Smarty, the silly voung Grouse who had met with an accident and been found by Farmer Brown's Boy, been so thoroughly frightened as he was now. To him Farmer Broww's Boy was simply a strange two-legged creature, so big as to be wholly frightful. The young Grouse at on¢e gave himself up for lost. He didn't even notice that Farmer Brown's Boy picked him up very gently and carried him very gently. Of course, P'armer Brown's Boy saw right away what had happened. He HARDLY HAD HE REMOVED HIS HAND WHEN, WITH A WHIRR OF WINGS, LITTLE MISTER SMARTY FLEW AWAY. saw that stick in one wing. and he guessed that the young Grouse, iylng in great fright, had not seen where he was going and had dashed his wing against a dead twig of a tree. “You poor little chap,” sald Farmer Brown's Boy. “It must be that w hawk was chasing you. We'll see what we can do. We can't let vou go this way.' Of course. the voung Grouse didn't understand a word of this, and he was dreadfully frightened as Farmer Brown’s Boy sat down and held him frmly while he examined the injured wing. “I guess,” eald Farmer Brown's Roy, “that I shall have to cut this stick off on the under side.” So he folded his handkerchief around the voung Grouse in such a way that Mister Smarty couldn’t get away. Then he took out his knife and opened pleasant phce If, eriticising less our over those vacated. System in pack- ing coupled with system in planning | is sure to mako matters easier when moving day arrives. First of all, it is important to have | boxes and barrels well marked so that !they are sure to get in the correct | rooms when landed in the new home, It ehould not be necessary for the movers to have to ask whether a bar- rel goes to the kitchen because it is not known that it is filled with cook- ing utensils, nor for barrels or boxes of clothing or books to be mixed and the clothes go by the bookcase and the booka be carried to the bedoom. Make the words of marking big enough to be seen easily. Readiness for Movers. When the movers come, they will empty rooms cf contents with amaz ing rapidity, so all should be in readi- ness prior to their coming. Some member of the family should be in readiness at the new home to give directions to the movers. Forestall th, questions “Where shall we put this? {and “Where does this go?” by telling | the men as they bring each article not | marked into the house just the | where it should be put. There will be wany such articles of furniture. To tag each would be ridiculous; to di- rect where they shall go is essential. 1f rooms have been studled with care before the moving day arrives, it is possible to direct with minuteness even to places where pictures should 8o. Simplified Moving. It is quite customary in some places | for expert movers to have entire charge of movings. They will pack every plece of household goods, linens, clothing and even contents of bureau drawers, take down pictures, |etc., in the old residence, and unpack and arrange every minute detail of unpacking in the new home, leaving all fit for occupancy. Such experts of course get good sums, but there are instances where they are well worth the price, us, for instance, where a home-maker is not strong and the moving is like a terrible burden on her shoulders. This cannot only be lightened but entirely lifted by such skilled movers. | | | BY THORNTON W. BURGESS |it. That knife was sharp. Farmer Brown's Boy always keeps his knives sharp. He was glad of it now. Pick- ing up little Mister Smarty, Farmer Brown's Boy held him In such a way that he couldn’'t struggle. Then with the sharp knife he cut away that stick where it projected through on the under side of the wing. Then, very, very gently, so as to Lurt as little as possible, he ‘drew the remainder of that stick out on the upper side. Then he very carefully examined that wing. He gently felt of every little bone to make sure that none was broken. Not & broken bone could he find. “I don't kmow what to do with you, vou scamp,” said he. “I don’t know whether I ought to take you home or whether T ought to let you go. If I {thought you could fly I'd let you go. But if you cannot fly you'll be safer | at home with me. A bird that can't fly isn't going to live very long. But I'm afraid if I let you go and you cannot fly you will run away from me and T shall not be able to catch you again. Then, if Reddy Fox comes along, that will be the end of you.” Of course, the young Grouse couldn’t tell him. Anyway, he didn't under- stand what Farmer Brown's Boy was saying. But he was missing nothing with those bright eyes of his. “If I get a chance I'll get away. I do hope Mother will sty around,” said Mister Smarty to himself. Lit- tle by little he was becoming less afraid. Now that that stick was gone that wing felt very much better. He wished he had a chance to try it. He had a feeling that it was as good as ever. Meanwhile, poor Mrs. Grouse was dreadfully upset. She recognized Farmer Brown's Boy, and this made her a little easler in her own mind. You see, once or twice Farmer Brown's Boy had been very good to Mrs. Grouse. She couldn’t belleve that he would hlv’t little Mister Smarty. Still, she Uid wish that he would let little Mifter Smarty go. But Farmer Brown's Boy was so afrald {that this young Grouse couldn't fly that he hesitated a long time about | letting it go. Finally he decided on an experiment. | “I'll just take him to & big open space,” said Farmer Brown's Boy. “If he can’t fly I probably can catch ‘h:‘x;n again before he has a chance to hide.” So Farmer Brown's Boyr tramped wlong the Green Forest until he came to an open space. In the middie of it he put the young Grouse down. ly had he removed his hand when, with a whirr of wings, little Mister Smarty flew away. So was fear turned into great joy. (Conyright. 1028.)

It's an exact copy of one of her latest models, and if I hadn’t snatched it-up pretty quick, some one else would have got it.” So she went complacently along in her Mary Pickford dress, not knowing or especially caring that she looked like a baby hippo, blisstully happy in the possession of & gown that was at least copled from that of the great. And how many of us do the samo | thing? We see gorgeous pictures of Gloria Swanson in black velvet and pearls. And when we're pricing evening dresses perhaps we run into & cheap imitation of the gown in which she created such an effec “Oh, there's a_dress like Glorla's,” we shriek, and all the time we're tr. fng it on we keep sceing ourselves s—we actually lmagine k more like the great use we've got a poor imi- tation of her costume. This habit of wearing clothes be- cause they look like those worn by the great is a dangerous one. We're apt to lose sight of ourselves as really are, and try to make ourselv over Into what we never could be. The effect we achieve s usually pitiful. Great actresses choose their clothes to suit their personalities. No use our trylng to copy them. We haven't the money or the beauty nor the person- ality to achieve their effects. And we mustn't copy our friends' Clothes, either. If there is in our set a perticularly stunning, popular girl, it’s a_great temptation to follow her slavishly in everything she wears. But we must resist it. It makes us look such awful fools, really. ‘When thin, scrawny little Isabelle appeared at & dance the other evening in a slimsy orchid frock that displayed all of her shoulder bones and the length of her immature neck, we were moved to inquire: “Why?” To which she responded: “Oh, this is just like Helen Jeffrey’s. She's so stunning. I was lucky to get it. Helen, with her tall grace and lovely figure, made the orchid dress look like a royal robe. Poor little Isabelle made it look like bathing suit.

He is ever seeking change and variety. Frequently this type s brilliant and could attain mark- ed success were he to stay in one po- sition long enough.

This Girl Should Get a Job and Be Independent of l Her Parents—Advice to Parents of a Selfish and Extravagant Son. Dm\n MISS DIX: After graduating from high school and completing & course in a business school 1 should like very much to go to work in an office, as I am very ambitious to earn my own living, but my people object. They want me to remain at home and take care of the books my father apd brother use in their business. But that work requires only an hour or two of my time, and I could easily do it in my spare time after business. My parents expect me to marry as soon as I am 21, but I do not think any one would ever care to have me. WIill you tell me what to do? My parents and I will appreciate, and be gulded by your advice. . ANNABELLE LEE. Answer: My earnest advice to you is to get a position at once and make yourself independent. It is a curious thing how unjust most families are to thelr girls. They will keep a girl at home, making her do housework for which they give her no salary, and then feel that she is u buriden on them, and that they are supporting her. They never regard her as being self-supporting, and she has no independence and no money of her own. For this reason a girl is very foolish not to strike out for herself and acquire her own pay envelope, unless, of course, there i3 sickness or some particular need that forces her to sacrifice herself for the good of her parents. Your father and mother are altogether wrong in keeping you from going to work on the theory that you will marry when you are 21. Perhaps you will, perhaps you won't. Desirable husbands are scarcc in these days, and not every girl s lucky enough to acquire one. 1If you are self-supporting; if you have something interesting to do, and are making a comfortable living ro: yourself, it is immaterial to you whether you get a husband or don’t get one. You do not have to marry just any man who comes along for the sake of acquiring a meal ticket. You can pick and choose, and wait until you find some man whom you really ldve and who is worth having. There is the blessed privilege of the independent working girl, and it makes cvery one of them an helress in her own right. Our grandmothers, who had no way of getting their bread wnd butter except by marrying, had to take whatever offered in the shape of & husband. They might know & man to be drunken, immoral, vile tempered. Ile might be totally repulsive to them physically, but the lady to whom he popped the question had to say “ves” because her family wanted to get her married to get rid of her, and she had nowhere to go until she went Into a home of her own. But, thank God, all of that is changed now. The modern zirl is 1o longer dependent on her parents. She can take care of herself as well as her brother can take care of himeelf, and she can be choosey and take her time about marrying. Surely your parents, who have set the age of 21 for you to marry, are not so foolish as to think that a gir] should marry when she comes to the marrying age just to be married. It sn't a question of age, of opportunity. ?’leif;‘ r‘;);oher to b(.; unhippfl‘); married s the cruelest. n you.

All around are the hair muscles and tissue fibers and the sweat glands, nerves, blood vessels and so on. At the end of the hair is a bulb which rests on the papilla, all of which we call the root of the hair. The sebaceous glands supply oil to the hair, and we are conscious of the hair muscles when fright makes “the hair stand on end.” A single hair shows flve divisions under a micro- scope, an outer and an inner “sheath layer,” the “shaft,” withir this again the “pigment layer” and at the very center the “core.” It is necessary to understand something of this in order to treat the hair intelligently.
