I knew it was coming, of course, but someway, I wasn't anxious for a climax. Still, any young man is a nice young man, when a girl is in her ‘teens, and naturally, I wanted to keep him hanging on. “One evening he asked me to a half dozen neckties for him. had never been addicted to sele ties for nice young men, I excfis myself by owning I had had no.ex- perience, which seemed all the more rable to him. So after a bit, 1 ed and he gave me the money stori six. “I took a lot of time and trouble over those ties, but at last I made a_selection that suited my idea of what a nice young man should wear, and when he came that night I proudly passed them over, He looked at the outlay with an expression that seemed dazed and almost critical. Pretty soon he said *“good-night”—and never called in.” i The confession ended with a hearty little chuckle—still: It must have been a tragedy, for she is single—yet! Pretty soon afterward they had reached a florist’s window that fea- tures a jungle of greenery and a pond. And, again, the genially handsome woman reached back to a memory shelf and resurrected another tragedy —in which numberless deaths took place, obviously to her amusement, and without any furrow lines in sight: “I passed by here one Sunday aftes noon—I think it was this store, be- @ the fountain was just like this ite a group of men and nding before the win- y wedged in. The store was closed, of course, but a cat had been left inside, and was sitting on the fountain rim. The water was filled with tiny goldfish, and the cat would thrust in a paw, eat the fish and then reach out for another. When it had gone on for so long that the cat was getting potty and the fish thinning out, somebody started off with the virtuous intention of phoning the owner of the store—and probably did—and I had always thought that cats were shy of water.” When the two parted, the plain woman cut down a side street to get to her office, to make up for two hours of spree. At:one corner she came to a youngish woman and a girl The woman kept [ il box as if she he would fall if she let go. s arm was filled with bundles. And she was talking in a voice that was frankly selfish: “Well, for goodness sake, Ma, I thought you surely must have a token for vourself, so it's your own fault. No use in my walking home with you when I've got to sin women were time, but I'm in a nd the girl sprinted off towards t! avenue. The mother had not put in a word, so far as the plain woman could hear, but her face was white and her small body looked as if it wanted to crumple in a heap—and stay there. And as old maids are forever poking noses into the affairs of others, the plain woman started an aecquaintanceship which ended in a walk together to the car track, where the plain one put the fecble one aboard. And that was all there was to it except—that There is a difference between mock tragedy and the Real Thing. * ok ok ok SHE was pink and white and a trifle coarse—like a pork chop—Her r, fat and fortiness was harnessed into whatever contraption it is that women use to compress their too, too solid forms into a state of mi call svelt And S Moto-Gard The Finest Shutter Made Ask your dealer to show you Moto-Gard’s triple service ac- tion, which gives extra shutter protection at bottom of the taditor where water is coolest. | 1 ‘ FOR ALL CARS. 171, by The Brewer-Titchener Corp.

It isn't 4 ig; only eight | rooms, and all the conveniences down |to an electric washer. I get into a wrapper, and fly from top to bottum in no time.” The wrapper called up an obvious yearning that caught the notice of the lady who boarded: “Then, what are you doing dolled up this time of day? I should think you would be home getting dinner?” “Not on Thursdays—this is m off, same as other cooks. I alw meet Jim after of®ce and we go to a restaurant for dinmer and a movie afterward. And I have to be rigged out in my best, because he’ likes his friends to see how nice he can dress me.” And if you had been walking behind, you would have felt cheap for mis- judging a pork chop for trying to look like a bird in fine feathers. It is so |easy to find fault. Any mean-souled thing can do it. * % x % A STOUT mother and her smail boy 4X had boarded a crowded car, and, of course, had to stand. The boy caught hold of the brass loop on the nearest seat. The woman made him let go. The child began to whimper, but the mother soothed him by drawing him closer with a portly arm. “Momma doesn't want you to tech that handle, baby, it might have jums on it, an’ I don’t want you catchin’ any disease jums on this car.” “I ain’t goin’' to catch any jums, Momma.” “T know you ain’t, honey. It's the jums that catches you.” Which shows that popular science always gets down to the people when properly advertised. R You may have noticed that big things and little things make up the web and woof of everyday life. Great events call for world-trumpetings, of course, while trifles reach no farther than the few people concerned, but: Taking the pattern, as a whole, we find that a small glint here, or a blot there, helps to blazon the shines and deepen the shadows of the uni- versal weave. Here, for one case, are the two contrasts, in one: Everybydy knows about Hi-Boy— there isn't a growing youngster who can’t tell about the young giraffe that captured last year by the Chrysler expedition and brought to the Zov, by Supt. William A. Mann, for the edu- cation and pleasure of the ecity's youth. You will recall, also, that The Star, wishing to personally interest the children of the District, suggeeted that they think up a name for the Zoo stranger, with wise judges to decide which would be the most appro- priate. And that a representative of The Star awarded the honor to the little girl who was lucky enough fo think up “Hi-Boy,” which was the best of many clever names, all good enough, if there had been more giraffes to go_round. When poor Hi-Boy had to travel to that bourne from which neither man nor animal ever returns, his depar- ture made a colorful little story that reached to the far edges of the land, but you naturally know nothing because he lives behind the scenes of a city news room—and, for a fact—doesn't live at all, except in the make-believe world inhabited by teddy bears and dolls. And while his fantastic existence in- terests but few people it helps, in a way, to make the world go round. When the dignified editor returned from giving a name to Hi-Boy he found on his desk a toy giraffe, spotted equal to life and of a size that could be housed in a cigar box—if you left an opening for his neck. The donor may have been a cub or a star re. porter—and there may have been a ceremony of presentation—nothing is too boyishly foolish to happen among a lot of big-brained men after a paper gels on the street and their work- driven souls and bodies have a chance to relax. All any outsider could know is that the dignified editor man gave mior the run of his deSk top, and nce the naming of Hi-Boy of the Zoo he has stood guard there, his neck reared above the doings of the day— and entirely disregarded, since to be noticed while a paper is geiting out is more than any giraffe could reason ably expect. His little moments of spotlignt come in that first bubble of spontaneousness when the staff, like o many boys out of school, give him a share of notice, along with the dny's 53 \v,m Mason, or Mutt ore they go off to take up their regular stunt of bei st- cla \‘.r'rf‘ifimrn\))\lr men. £ el g nd that is the w things wi tl after big Hi-Boy's death, when & staft member who never dares in. vade the newsroom except to turn {n copy happened in there about. fust: With a sneaking affection for all toys, )7:1:\:[»* for )thc reason that she never ad any—sh aused V io iny—she paused to give Junior a anding rigidly on guard there in lence, she noticed a thing that, the | somehow, made the stiff toy s tive of flesh and blood an sy S 1 of the sor- ] such— 0 Junior had mourning streamens areeen his neck.
