Old Mother Nature, It was a very much frightened pair of young Prairie-dogs who left the house where they had found the owner killed by Blackfoot the Ferret, who is & cousin of Shadow the Weasel. Some- Yiow the Great World was a very differ- ent place from what they had imagined it to be. As they had looked out from the safety of their home they had im- mgined it a very wonderful place and felt quite equal to taking care of them- #YOU WON'T SEE ME RUNNING INTO A HOUSE,” REPLIED HER BROTHER PROMPTLY, selves in it, especially Popup, who was the bolder of the two. Now that they were out in it and homeless, it was be- ginning to seem a dreadful place. “I guess father and mother were not | 80 silly after all.” said Popup soberly. “What do you mean?” asked Peek- aboo. Well,” replied Popup, “we thought it was foolishness to make us keep sit- ting up to look around every two or three minutes and to keep warning us never to go far from the nearest house and to always run for it at the first alarm without even trying to find out what the danger might be.” Peekaboo nodded. “I guess you are right,” said she. “It was only yesterday that ‘we left home, but it seems ever and ever so long. What we thought was By Thornton W. Burgess. foolishness was just plain common sense, I guess, and from now on I mean to profit by it. Do you suppose that black-footed stranger will return this way? What will we do if he does? “There is only one thing to do, and that is to see him before he sees us,’ replied Popup. P/And 1f ‘that does happen what will we o then?” asked his sister. fi “I don't know,” replied Popup, “but there is one thing I do know. hat?” demanded Peekaboo. ‘You won't see me running into a ouse,” replied her brother promptly. “Any one who runs into a house by that fellow around is in & trap. Yes, sir, he is in a trap. There is no other way out and that fellow knows it. All he has to do then is to go right in. He doesn't look so dangerous, but that was a_stout old fellow he killed. Yet when he came out he didn't look as if he had been in a fight at all. No, sir, you don’t get me trapped like that. ‘If I see him first I'll just try to hide some- where outside.” “If we had happened to meet him I don't believe I would have been much afraid of him, for he didn't look so dangerous,” confessed Peekaboo. “But from now on I am going to be afraid of every stranger until I have found out there is no reason to be afraid. I won't trust anybody on their looks.” “Nor I” replied Popup. “I tell you what it one of us should be on watch all the time. When you are eat- ing I will sit up and watch. When I am eating you will do the same. We'll take turns.” s “That is a good idea,” replied his sis- ter. “Let's get away from here as soon as we can. I am afraid that terrible stranger may come back.” So the two hurried away. Every few steps one or the other would sit up and anxiously look all around. They were continually popping up. When they be- came so tired that they felt they coudn't g0 farther they watched for a deserted house and presently discovered one. They knew it was deserted because there were no fresh footprints on the doorstep, and some earth had fallen into the house. Very timidly they in- | vestigated and found it to be a very good house after all. It was deep and there was a good bed of grass. So they cleaned the earth out of the entrance hall and thought themselves fortunate, as indeed they were. But all the timc they were doing this the one who was not working sat bolt upright on_the doorstep watching for danger. They had learned that lesson well. (Copyright, 1931).

Desperately the doctor sends a call to a distant city for more anti-venom. The serum is rushed by airplane to the home of the child. The doctor is about to inject it when a sudden interruption comes. The child’s father forbids any further doses of the anti-venom. The father gives as his reason an instance he says he observed many years ago— som= one who received anti-venom for snakebite recovered, but always seemed rather feeble minded. So the father prefers to let his child die rather than take any chance the child might survive and perhaps be feeble-minded. What to do in such a quandry? Has the father the right to forbid giving the anti-venom? Substitute diphtheria for snakebite and antitoxin for anti-venom, and tell me, would the father have a right to forbid giving the child the second dose knows of some one who is feeble-minded and who once received one or more doses of antitoxin? I had to watch a child die like that once. Oh, yes, I managed to have an- other doctor summoned, but unfortu- nately he was an institution man and had never had any experience in treat- ng diphtheria, so his evident uncer- talnty and ignorance only confirmed the father in his terrible attitude, (Copyright, 1931.)

She is now married to one of America’s famous authors. Doll House. ‘The other day I saw Joan Crawford make a small plece of a picture. The part she did would take about one| minute to flash across the screen. it she was sup- posed to look up appealingly into a man’s face and say one short sentence. That was all. It had been re- hearsed several times and now they were getting ready to shoot it. But Miss Craw- ford had a fit of giggling. Every time she started to look appealingly into the young man's face she giggled and slapped her hand over her mouth, So the director called her over and she knelt down in front of him like a child, and he talked to her quietly and earnestly for about 10 minutes. And he patted her head as though bestow- ing a blessing. Then she got up and tock her position once more, and the picture was shot. I lJooked with a good deal of interest at this girl who is such an important person in pictures. I looked at her In Helen Woodward. flawless profile and her hair, which is | too blond for her skin; at her ey which are too big for her face. She’s a young girl, but she looks older than I looked at her stooped shoulders and I wondered at the des- tiny which had chosen her for her im- portant place in the amusement world. As I started to walk out of the studio I saw at the other end something that looked like a large doll's house. The studio was a large, barnlike affair and in one corner of it stood this house. It was about 10 feet high and about 12 feet square, painted white, made of wood, with pretty decorations over the doorway and around its small window. The inside was brilllantly lighted. Against one wall was a long couch upholstered in leather of a bright, soft color. dressing table—one so complete it would delight the heart of any girl who reads this. It was fitted wdth all kinds of luxuries and in front of it stood & chair upholstered to match the MYTIFINE Delivered to Your Home Every Tuesday and Friday rushed to your grocer by fast Service Cars weekly Smooth, creamy texture in may- onnaise is important. not everything.

The room was large enough so that most girls who work would be delighted to have it for a permanent bed room. I am sure that few of the girls in America who work for a living have rooms as big, and none have rooms so luxuriously fitted. “What is this?” I asked. “That is Miss Crawford’s personal dressing room. It's on wheels. It's her husband’s present to her. Wherever she goes the dressing room is wheeled around after her.” Yet Miss Crawford’s little house is modest compared with the sumptuous grandeur of Miss Marian Davies’ large and substantial house on the Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer lot—a house and gal den such as few families in Ameri can live in. And it's only for emergen- cles, when she's working on_the lot, 80 she can slip in and have luncheon, take a nap in her own bed, entertain her friends, and what you will.

Rural clothes have suddenly burst into fashion and popularity, and for the girl who is gvlnT to spend her vacation days, or at least a part of them, on a ranch or a farm, there are all sorts of new shirts, overalls, blouses, Jeans and hats that are as practical as they are beco: 3 ‘To begin with, there are cartwheel hats of rough straw with brims wide enough to put the old-time Merry Widow hats in the shade. Their FEATURES rounded crowns are worn well back on the head leaving the brow well exposed. There are mannish sateen shirts of bright blue, yellow, emerald green or red made with long sleeves or mesh shirts with short sleeves. You may wear yours with open neck or with a brightly colored gingham or bandana scarf knotted carelessly at the front. Then there are short smocks, extending only a little below the hips, made of bright colored cotton crepe. Roomy overalls or trousers are made of the conventional blue jean material, of stripes or of a colorful plaid. With your rural outfit you may wear high laced boots, or, following the sug- gestion of one of the stores that re- cently exploited the rural mode, you Chicken Pot Roast. Prepare a chicken as for .
