THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAK Myra's Confidences “Your new hat is just grand, teach- er, and I hope you wear it in good health!” exclaimed Myra Schpock. Myra was exalted monitor of the flow- er boxes and was attending to them after school. “Thank you, dear,” answered Miss arithmetic papers. “It's nothing to thank about,” sald Myra. “Say, you ought to see my ma's new hat. It's red, with purple flow- ers. It's got a big green bow across the back. When pa saw it he said, is one stunner!’ ma. It'd make her sore.” “Of course, you wouldn't want to hurt your mother's feelings,” agreed | the teacher. “My ma saw you coming to school | yesterday with a swell,” confided ! Myra. “Ma sald, ‘I ain't sure if it's | Wednesday or Thursday morning he | 'scorts your teacher to school, but I'm , going to make it my business to find So she watched to see.” “Child, what difference can it pos. | sibly make to your mother?” asked Miss Lord in surprise. “Ma doesn’t want to miss anything ! like that.

She says, ‘That man can't take his eyes went off your teach- o “You must not talk like that, Myra,” reprimanded Miss Lord. “It isn't good taste to say such things about people.” “I don’t, honest and true, Miss Lord. I sald to my ma, I said: ‘Ma, you don't know nothing about it. He ain’t real- ly my teacher’s man. It's the flit and flutter teacher what likes Miss Lord.” “And who may he be?” inquired the “He's our exercise ‘structor, Mr. Fillerpson. We kids call him ‘flit and flutter,’ because he always kept telling us to flit and flutter when we drilled for our butterfly entertainment. I sald to my ma, I said, ‘P'raps I don't know my long division, but I do know when a man Is just crazy about a lady.' Ma laughed so hard she broke her new corset steel.” “Myra, you are impossible,” declared Miss Lord. “If you pald as close at- tention to your long division as you do to other people's affairs you would probably learn your numbers. You are certainly a case for the psychol- ogy department.” “We have nicknames for all the teachers,” declared the loquacious Myra, not at all abashed. “The sing- ing superintendent is ‘Do-Mi-Sol’ We call the sewing lady ‘Thimble,’ be cause she gets such a mad when we forget our thimbles. The drawing lady s ‘Tiptoe’ She walks as if she was afrald of waking the baby.” “What a disrespectful class of chil- dren I have!" exclaimed the amused teacher, trying to wear a disapproving look and failing. As a token of her capitulation she added, smiling: *} wonder if I have a nickname?” “Dast I tell you yours?” asked Myra. “I'm eager to hear it.” “Yours is ‘Lady Violet,' because you always smell so nice of violets, hope I will when I'm a big lady.” “Thank you. That's a very nice nickname.” “Teacher,” said Myra after a mo ment's silence, “lzalia Zwick ain't coming to school tomorrow.

He was a gallant post office clerk, and business for the moment was slack. Presently, to his joy, there en- tered a beautiful young lady. “What can I do for you?” he asked, with unusual affability. *1 want a two-cent stamp,” said his customer. “and would you mind welghing this letter for me, as I'm afrald it may be a little too heavy.” Lord as she marked her fourth grade . | clothes, and he got concelted about it. ‘Mrs. Sarah Schpock, that there hat ' I like yours better | than ma's, but I wouldn't say so to , | chased the linen dress. | where they have clothes all ready to {es of thin net let in here and there. o= 1918, ELAND.

When it came home 1 donned it and casually walked out in front of John. “I hadn't exactly formulated what I expected him to say, but it was some- thing to the effect that he was over- come totally by my air of magnifi- cence. Instead, he was strangely sl- lent. overcome. *‘Don’t you like it?” I hinted. “John coughed. I looked at him in surprise. Then he took hold of a sleeve with a gingerly thumb and fore- finger. ‘What is {t?' he asked, hesl- tatingly, ‘It looks—er—it looks llke potato sacking. Of couse,’ he added, hastily and politely, ‘I know it isn't. But—er—isn’t it queer?’ “Oh, he tried to be polite, he really did. But he suffered so while he was doing it that, having a tender heart, I couldn’t stand it. He simply couldn't see that linen dress. To him it was a monstrosity, a blot on the landscape, and at the thought of his wife appear- ing in a garment which to him was go- ing to draw the scorn and amazed amusement of the populace was unen- durable. “So long as that dress was in the house John was nervous, anguished and tormented, so I took it back. I told the store people that I'd pay them to take it back, because if T kept it I but they were very nice and said { could change it. So I bought a lovely taffeta gown.
