Now when the Merry Little Breezes dance on the water they make a ripple. You see, the water wants to dance, too. A ripple is made up of tiny little waves. Perhaps we ought to call them wavelets. So the Merry Little Breezes danced down the middle of the lake and a RUSTY KNEW THAT HE MIGHT NOT | BE ABLE TO REACH SHORE. ripple followed them down. Now it wasn’t a big ripple, but it rocked a certain stick to which was clinging Rusty the Fox Squirrel. Behind the first ripple came another ripple, and back of that another ripple, and an- other and anciher. Each little ripple rocked the stick to which Rusty was clinging and gently slapped him in the face. Now, Rusty knew enough about water to know that a little ripple may sometimes grow into a big wave. If the wind should blow hard, the water would become rough, and if it should become rough, Rusty knew that he might not be able to reach shore. would be much more likely to drown. So there was nothing to do but to begin swimming again. Rusty drew a that stick and started on, paddling as | fast as he could make his legs go. The ripples were not as gentle as they had been at first, They were growing bigger and bigger. Rusty was having hard work to keep the water out of his nose. He was frightened. Never had he felt more helpless than now. You see, there wasn't a thing to do but keep on swim- ming. If he stopped swimming he would drown. He must keep right on, no matter how tired he was. His legs were beginning to ache again. Paddle, paddle, paddle! Would he never have another chance to rest? Pad- dle, paddle, paddle! There was some- AUNT HET BY ROBERT QUILLEN.

BURGESS thing moving on the water ahead of him. What could it be? A little wave broke right in his face and he couldn’t | see. It might be danger. It might be an enemy of some kind. Well, it wouldn’t be any worse to be caught by an enemy than to be drowned. So Rusty kept on—paddle, paddle, paddle. Suddenly, right in front of Rusty, appeared a flat, very smooth piece of | wood. Rusty didn’t stop to examine it. He climbed right on it. Then he saw what it was. He saw it was a long stick flaitered at one end and that the other end was held by a man in a queer little thing that floated on_the water, which was really a canoe. Rusty didn’t hesi- tate a second. He ran right up that paddle—for, of course, that is what the long stick was—kept right on up the man’s arm to his shoulder, and then jumped down into the canoe. He ran forward and sat on the bow. You could have heard the man laugh! “Well, little chap,” said he “you act as if you are mighty glad to get out of the water. I guess it is a good thing I happened along. The wind is blow- ing harder and soon it will be rough. I am afraid you never in the world could have made that shore. But we'll make it now.” He turned his canoe toward the shore and began to paddle. Rusty sat on the bow facing the shore. The wind and the sun soon dried him off, and by the time shore was reached he was quite himself. The moment the cance was within jumping distance Rusty sprang ashore and, with a flirt of his big tail, climbed a tree. Halfway up he turned and looked down at his rescuer, as much as to say, “I can't speak your language, but I thank you just the HOLLYWOOD, Calif., November 13.— Dita Parlo, German star, arrived in Hollywood and faced ‘the microphone at a gala opening and made a brief speech in fairly negotiable English.

Florence Vidor issues the announce- ment that she is tired of being called the “best-dressed woman in Holly- wood.” She thinks that “carefully dressed” or “thoughtfully dressed” fills her idea of her sartorial effect far bet- ter, in which I, for one, agee heartily with her.

November 13, 1856—Washington poli- ticians and political “wiseacres” here |and throughout the Nation are busy | constructing the new cabinet for Presi- dent-elect Buchanan. Now that the voting is over, it is pos- sible today to give accurately and in detail the decision rendered by the American people on election day, No- vember 4. The Democrat:z nominees— James Buchanan of Pennsylvania for President and John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky for Vice President—have been elected by 172 electoral votes against 122 for John C. Fremont, Re- publican, and former President Millard Fillmore, the Whig and American party candidate, combined. Mr. Buchanan's popular vote s 1,838,160, against a total for both of his opponents of 2,215.768. The aggregate popular vote cast for Fillmore was 874,534, and his electoral vote was only | | 8—that of the State of Maryland. | “The great battle is yet to be fought,” | says The Evening Star today, referring | to the making of the new cabinet. | “All men of common sense” con- | tinues The Star, “realize that, as mat- | ters stand, the only hope of the much longer continuance of the Union rests in being able to keep the Government true to the letter and spirit of the Con- stitution’s compromises.” The issue of the New York Herald received here today says: “No one can possibly know better than Mr. Buchan- an the real qualifications and public history of every man whose services to the State have been vl posi- tion at home is such as to admit the possibility that his name may be for an instant considered in connection with a cabinet appointment. It is understood here that President- elect Buchanan is making up his cabi- net slate and will “seal up the list, not to be divulged to living mortal until after the deliverance of his inaugural” March 4 next. On all sides Mr. Buchanan is being warned against the avalanche of “ad- vice” and pressure that is being brought to bear upon him to appoint men to the cabinet who may not be well fitted to serve as his advisers and to ald him in keeping the Union intact. | | ‘The shot was an ordinary one, noth- | ing of emotional consequence—a man | and woman strolling down a_corridor | and turning toward the lift.

Why a Widow Should Please Herself About Marrying Instead of Her Children. JDEAR MISS DIX: I am engaged to a girl who says that she will not-obey me after we arc married if she does not want to, but that she will be reasonable. 1 know she loves me and she is a fine, intelligent young woman of 27, who does not have to marry for a meal ticket, as she has a good profession. I love her, but I am not willing to marry her unless she will promise to obey me. It makes me uneasy and afraid.’ I just can't feel right about marrying her, as she is v;n; fiosmve on the subject and means what she says. Madam, what must lo? Answer: Well, Sam, my earnest advice to you is to forget that “obey” stuff. It's archaic and has no place in modern life and you must be a back number to be raising the issuc at this late date. Why, even the churches have cut the word “obey” out of the marriage service, because it was fooiish to go-on making women perjure themselves by swearing to obey their husbands when they didn’t have the slightest idea on earth of doing so. Believe me, it would do you no earthly good to have your wife promise to obey you, because she would make the promise with her tongue in her cheek and the mental reservation that she would do as she pleased, anyway So I think your girl is only being honest with you, and when she says that she will give in to you in all reasonable things, she has promised all that you have a right to ask of her, and all that any self-respecting modern woman could do. But here's a secret, Sam. If you are set and determined upon having an obedient wife, the way to get her under your thumb is to be very loving and sweet to her, and then she will care so much for you that she will always be breaking her neck to please you. _ You can't tyrannize over a woman and enforee your will upon her with a big stick. You can't make her look up to you as an oracle and humbly do your bidding by assuming any lordly head-of-the-house airs, because no woman is afraid of a man now; she thinks the domestic autocrat is a joke and snaps her finger at him, but a man can still enslave his wife by love. But why do you * :nt your wife to obey you, Sam? She is 27, a mature woman with the judgment of a woman. She is intelligent, able to hold down a good job and earn her own living, and she has a fine character. Don’t you think a woman of that sort has sense enough and principle enough to be trusted? Don't you think she is capable of forming a fair opinion on any subject, and doing the right thing in any emergency? ‘Are you such a Solomon, so much cleverer and wiser than she is, with so much more vision and understanding, that you feel that her mind should always be subservient to your own? It doesn’t make for the happiness of a marriage for the wife to be the humble slave of her husband and obey him. In a happy marriage the husband and wife have equal authority, they consult together as partners over every yrnblew of their joint lives, and each defers and gives in’to the wishes of the other. ‘You needn’t be afraid to marry a girl who won't promise to obey you, Sam, but her good angel should warn her to be very much afraid of marrying a man who demands obedience from her.. v e DOROTHY DIX. EAR MISS DIX: I am a widow of 53 with two boys and a girl. One of the boys is about to be married, the other boy is 19 and the girl is 15. I am very lonely, as my children are out almost cvery night with their young friends. but they object very much to a man, who is an old friend of mine, coming to see me. He is a very fine man and wants to marry me and could give me a good home, but my children think I should not marry. What ought I to do? WORRIED MOTHER. Answer: One of your children is about to leave you. The two others will be gone in the course of the next few years. They won't consider it their duty to refrain from marrying in order to stay at home and bear you company. In that they are right, because the young should not sacrifice their lives to the | old, but you should consider yourself also. Your children have no more right to blight your life than you have to blight theirs, so don't listen to their objection to the man.

The Nancy Page Club held its No- vember meeting at thc home of Mrs. Whitney. They sald they had come to stay, since the subject of the day Early Settles of the Early Set-‘ They scttled right down to “The first settles,” said Mrs. Whitney, “were made entirely of wood, usually pine. They had high backs of wood and shaped end or arm pieces. These were in use in 1750. A little later we find the settles made with scroll ends and canopy tops.” She showed pictures of a number, one of which had a candleholder attached to the back. Before they began discuss- ing Chippendale sofas Nancy told of the low wagon or ox cart seats, which look like nothing but two chairs with | slat backs fastenzd together. The legs | are short. These were put in the ox carts and used by the family as the oxen plodded on their journeys.- ‘The Chippendale settees had cabriole | | legs and ball and claw feet. Upholstery | was introduced in the seats. The back was really in three parts, resembling three Queen Anne chair backs. Shera- ton used the two and three backs and | cane seats. Sheraton also used the | curved arch back.

The commonest arithmetical problem is of this nature. “What is the cost of five 1-cent stamps and five 2-cent stamps?” The answer, of course, is 15. But more intelligence is required to solve the reverse of such proolems. For example: If I bought 12 stamps for 16 cents how many of the stamps cost 1 cent and how many cost 2 cents? The answer here is eight 1s and four 2s. Allow yourself three min- given below. 1. A hotel advertised 100 rooms with | 140 beds and accommodations for 160 people.
