They fnay even he worn with the street costume—hut just now the feather boa is exclusively an evening acces- sory. A well known soclety woman attracted much favorable attention this Winter when she appeared at the opera wearing a very long boa of uncurled green ostrich. So long were the flues of the ostrich that they covered her shoulders and al- most hid her arms—the ends trailed almost down to the hem of her rather long period frock. It takes =kill to carry a boa of such Mngth, but there is something al- ways graceful and attractive about the ghorter feather hoas that have been seen quite a bit this Winter.

I don't consider that he hus any business over here in the Green Forest anyway. Neither Happy Jack nor 1 asked him to come. I'll keep an eve on him a bit and see what he is about. The more I think of it, the more T am inclined to believe that it was Rusty. He can't do anything like that to me and get away with it." S0 Chatterer tagged along after Rusty the Fox Squirrel until the other got very angry. ‘“What are you following me ahout for?” he demanded. “1 want to know what you did with the nuts you stole from me,"” retorted Chatterer. “I didn’t steal any nuts frem you,” declared Rusty. “Well, you stole them from my storehouse, and that's the same thing,” reforted Chutterer. “No such (hing! Do you mean to say I am a thiefs” cried Rust growing angrier and angrier. -“1 guess that's about it,” retorted Chatterer. Then Rusty started after Chatterer and drove him through the treetops, each scolding and calling the other bad names and making no end of u fuss. “Isn’t it lovely! cried Sammy as he listened. You -know, there fx nothing Sammy enjova more than a quarre] hetween other people, Now Chatterer was too ry for Rusty, and after a bit Rusty gave up chasing. Chatterer decided he was hungry. Not far away was'anether ons of his atorehouses. It was a small one, in which he had tucked away some choice beechnuts. He decided to slip over to it and get some of those cholce beechnuts. But he made sure that nobody suw him. When he reached that little storehouse he had a dreadful shock. For a moment it left him quite speechless! Then he found his tongue and you should have heard it go. My, my, my, my, you should have heard it go! You see, there wusn't a beechnut in that little | storehouse. Somebody had taken | them.

Friday Night Well, tonight was the big night for Hilda and her immigrant boy friend, and it it didn’t turnout the way Joan planned it, T can't he blamed. 1 paid for food and .entertainment for the prospective flance, and 1 didn't even get a look at him for it Joan put the baby to hed early and rushed me through dinner, and we were dressed and on our way fo the theater before he showed up, and when we came home the party was over. On our way “I just hate to tell downtown Joan said, Hilda she is out of a job, but we can't afford her any more, now that I am able to do all the work. I know the poor girl needs the money, and she isn't a good enough maid to find a new job easily, and she does love the baby so.” I said, “Tell her your mother is coming to visit us again and she will leave of her own accord.” Joan said, “Why aren't you on the stage? [ really don’t know what to tell Hilda. She likes being with us so much, and I know how she would miss the baby.” I sald, “If your trap for her buy friend works ‘tonight she will “uve a home of her own pretty soon.” Joan seld, “Well, just what stall I tell her?” 'and 1 sald, “You certainly worry over the darnedest things. These theater tickets have set me bhack $6.60, and if you are going to waste $3.30 worrying over how to fire A bum maid T might just as well have saved the money."” Well, we saw the :show, which was worth 50 eents of anybody’'s monev, and they are robbers to charge $3.30 a seat, and then Joan made me blow her to fomge food before we came home. On the way upstairs Joan said, ‘wonder if we are coming in too early for Hilda and her sweet. heart?” "and 1 said, “Perhaps if I put it to him like a gentleman, he will let me into my own house at mid- night,”” 80 we went in and Hilda was alone, und Joan,said, “Hello, I1ilda, have & good timle?” and IHlda said, “I did not,” and I said, “What's the matter?” " Hilda safd, “That kid of yours.

And my friend didn't have no swell time with A howling baby around. I'm through being a nurse. I will say I am," and so Joan doesn't have to fire Hilda after all, because Hilda has quit.

DOROTHY DIX. R MISS DIX: T am 21 D whom I have known sinc Generally speaking. by her years old and very much in love with a hoy childhood, but unfortunately he does not care for me enough to want to marry me. The trouble is that he sees me quite often, but he does not ask me to go out with him. He just comes and spends the evening at my home. The man for whom I work is leaving to go into business in a distant city and wishes me to go along and work for him there. Would you advise me to do so? SAL Answer: By all means, Sally. It's your only chance. It may be possible that the young man really lov you without knowing it You are so much a habit to him that he does not realize how much you mean in his life, and as long as you stay where he can have vqur society, and sympathy, and uaderstanding without- paying for it, he will take you on that basis. But if vou go away vou will wake him up. He will find out how much he misses you, and if he has any affection for you he will come after you and marry you And, anyway, going to live in another place, where there are frash scenes and new interests and strange men will do you good. It will take your mind off this unappreciative vouth. You will have other men to compare him with and you may find that he doesn't measure up as well as you think he does. There is no such panacea for heartache as change. And you must remember this, Sally, that love isn't a matter of volition. 1t may he that this young man likes and admires you and has a true friendship for you, hut that vou just fail to waken love in him. Why this is 80 no one can tell, but when it happens that way there is absolutely nothing that can be done about it. There are no arts and wiles that you could put forth that will ensnare his fancy, no charm that you can use that will raise a theill in his breast He just doesn’t love you, and that's all there is to It, and the sooner you accept that fact and adjust your life to it, the better. = DOROTHY DIX, ok AR DOROTHY DIX: 1 am In love with a man whom I have found out to Le a liar and deceitful. This makes me afrald to marry him and I know I should break off my engagement love him still. Do girls just naturally love worthless men, and let real ones slip by WORRIED. Answer: Very ofteh. And the tragedy of it is that it is what is finest and noblest in a woman’s nature that makes her wreck her life by marrying the rotter, It Ig the eternal mother in a girl's breast that makes her pity the weakling and forgive his faults, and try to bolster him up with her own strength. But it {s always a fatal inistake when a woman marries a man to try to reform him, for the man who has not manhood enough to do right for his manhood's sake will never do it for a woman Don't marry this man if he is a liar and tries to decsive you even now. You will repent it in bitterness and tears if you do. = DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1927.) The Daily Cross-Word Puzzle (Copyright. 1927.) Across. . Queen of Greek gods. . Rore. . Free. . Fir Dance step.

There seems to have been an un- usual gumber of Mothers who have written me lately telling me of having weaned their very tiny babies, three, five, or seven weeks old, and then having found great difficulty in getting an artificial food to nourish them. Bottle feeding has grown into such repute within the last few years that mothers do not hesitate long enough before jumping to the conclusion that it all is not going well the first few weeks that bottle feeding is the one best bet. It isn't. At best it is only a substitute. Artificlal feeding for infants can never take the place of breast feed ing. and one should do everything pos sible to make the breast feeding satis- factory before even 'considering a change to the bottle, If an Infant has difficulty in digest- ing hix mother’s milk and evidences it by restlessness and crying colic, how much more terrible a time he is going to have digesting cow’s milk. While we can make cow’s milk more like mother's milk than any other artificial food, nevertheless the infant must learn to tolerate what is essen tially a foreign food, and the vounger the infant the more difficult it is for his emall stomach to adjust itself to what waa not designed for it. Regulating the nursing hours so that they are never closer than three hours apart; regulating the mother's diet so that she gets a wholesome menu of easily digested and nourishing foods and at least A quart of milk a day besides; allowing rest for the mother and some chance for recreation will help the mother to become a suc- cessful nurse. Resort to the bottle should not be had except as an addition to the breast teeding temporarily while the mother may be suffering with fatigue or the worry of caring for the new baby. If '@ mother would take as much trouble to adjust the breast milk to the needs of her baby as she does to adjust an artificial formula there would he far fewer babies weaned at the tender age of six weeks.

Jessica is about to inherit the principal of her father's estate, and Maude is afraid that a for- tune-hunter named Raymond Town- ley is preying on her affections. Al- though he is interested in another woman, Mark drops his own affairs to attend to Jessica’s. He makes in quiries, and discovers that Townley is @ thorough cad. But Jessica is self- willed. She announces her engage- ment, and seems determined to marry him." Mark tries to reason with her and they quarrel. It is then that Aunt Maude steps to the fore and suggests that he carry Jessica off. At first he ridicules the idea, and then, much against his own personal wishes, he decides to accept it. He makes an at- tempt to win back her confidence by telling her of his own love affair, and is successful. Meanwhile, he makes plans to take her to his hunting shack in the Shawangunk Mountains. older woman is to play chaperon and act as housckeeper. He and Mrs Morse drive up there with supplies of various kinds. Jessica Enters the Trap. Jessica was true to her promise to help Mark and on the following Tuesday they went into town. At her suggestion, Mark bought a roadster of a good make and what she designated as a “snappy ap- pearance.” Its ecolor was battleship gray, and although he had bought it second-hand, the dealer told him that it had been used only three months, and was in fine shape. He drove her home in it, and the engine purred as quietly as a kitten purrs when it is absolutely contented. Jessica was delighted “You've got a bargain, Guardian, I envy you. Your car is ever so much more ritzy than mine. By the way, T haven't had a chance to ask you about your shack. How did you find 1t Mark's heart skipped a beat. ust the same,” he said quietly had forgotten how much I loved it. And he described to her the singing of the pine trees and their smell. He tried to tell her his impression of that particul range of mountains, too, without any feeling of suc until she turned to him suddenly, her eyes shining. “Why buy a car, couldn’t you drive me up me day?” n his heart skipped a heat. He felt like a dog. She was stepping right into the trap and it didn’t seem fair.
