Lilllan reflected amusedly, as the door ' closed upon Jerry Ticer, and we went out to the slde veranda—she with the newspapers, and I with the mail: “That's some food combination, I'll radio the diet kitchens, Are you rcal- ly golng to tackle it?" ‘“You've never indulged in one of Mrs. Ticer's real culinary orgies, that's I retorted. “But this one I've tackled before, It's prac- tically innocuous—if you don't stu(f— something Mrs. Ticer's table always tempts you to do.’ * “I think I can manage to put Satun behind me,” she replied dryly. “lIs there any mail for me?’ “Oh! Pardon!" 1 flushed con- fusedly, for in my furtive search for a possible missive from Dicky I had forgotten to give out the rest of the mail. ‘“Here are two—" “And T know what both are,” she said, glancing at the return direc- tions. ‘“Appeals for small contribu- tions. I haven't the courage to open them now. My checking account is too low. I'll just glance over the pa- pers instead. I trust your mail is more interesting.” A Tense Question “I haven't any,” I said, "but I must distribute the rest of these. Mother Graham would be tearing her hair if she knew I was delaying her letters, I took my mother-in-law's letters to her room, and was delighted to find that she was not there, for I was in no mood to talk to her. Laying them on the table, I went down the hall to my father's room and tapped gen- tly. There was no response from with- In, but from the half-open door of the guest room adjoining where we had ensconced Tom Chester, his volce called softly: “Is that you, Daughter, dear? Can you come In here?" With the letters in my hands, 1 en- tered the room to find my father en- gaged In glving a draught of some- thing which 1 guessed to be medicine to the boy in the bed, And when he had put Tom Chester's head back upon the plllow, the boy's white face and twitching lips told of the suffer- ing that was his, “Your mall, Father,” 1 sald briefly, laying the letters upon the table, and going to the side of the bed In an- swer to the unmistakable appeal in Tom Chester's strained eyes. “I am afrald you are suffering,” I sald pityingly.

Honeymooners Abroad BY ZOE BECKLEY. WHERF!N THE VAMP FAILS TO i VAMP, In London that night Jack was en- tering his hotel room, worn out but excited. He had been under a tre- mendous nervous strain.

She should have had a thought for his peace of mind ~—this mind of his, that belonged to the firm which was paying him more than comfortable salary financing their trip abroad. At a _time like this, he needed every ‘thought to concentrate on his work. And here she was, carefree about Paris, not even thinking of him— His telephone rang. Slowly be e out of his angry abstraction and angwered it. “Hello, Jackie—" drawled a wom an's voice, “did I get you out of bed?"” "“Who's this?” asked Jack, startled. “Unchivalrous creature, not to know.

Why were things so tangled? I asked myself rebelliously as 1 went slowly down the stalrs again, No one but I knew how I longed for a word from Dicky, but he apparently had forgotten that his wife existed, while poor Tom Chester— As 1 went out on the veranda 1 saw Lillian with a newspaper held out in front of her staring at it, in a man- ner I never have seen in her, but twice. On both of those occasions she unexpectedly had come upon some astonishing item of news con- cerning intimate friends. “The head of Medusa !" I said gay- ly, and at my words I saw her hands flutter nervously, another thing at which 1 marvelled, for her poise Is always bullet-proof. "You rubber-soled snooper '’ she gibed. “If I werée a nervous woman I should have hit the celling. I sup- pose your mother-in-law is waiting for these papers. I'll take them up to her, and then I suppose you'll want to start for the Ticers.” . She gathered all the newspapers under her arm, and went so swiftly into the house that not for a minute or two dfd I begin to realize the as- tonishing fact that Lilllan, usually the soul of courtesy, had not given me the opportunity to glance al a single newspaper headline, SLEEPY-TIME .TALES FATTY COON MORE OF HIS DVENTURES R OTT BAILEY FATTY COON RUNS AN ERRAND. Uncle Sammy Coon was, not very careful about his dress. Sometimes he went about Cedar Swamp looking actually untidy. If it hadn’t been for his wife, Aunt Amanda, he would have looked even worse. Ior she often scolded him, telling him to brush his coat, or comb his hair, or wash his face. Such advice always made Uncle Sammy angry. But he had long since learned that there was just one way to silence 'Aunt Amanda; and that was to do as she told him. One day when Uncle Sammy came limping home from a journey Aunt Amanda turned her searching gaze upon him, Knowing what that tor but leaped down the stairs, three at a time and rushed up to the wom- an in the quiet reception room. “Now!"” he cried, forgetting all proper greetings, “What's happened to Edna!” A red surge of anger overspread Nella's vivid face. She rose, drawing herself up, “Oh—Edna isn't neeznng any of 'she’s with Mark at a lovely little hotel in Fontainebleau. She's so ah- |sorbed in doing the Forest with him |that T—came here—for company—" Jack stared, speechless. Then sud- denly he broke into a roar of ner- vous laughter— (To Be Coptinued).

Uncle Sammy groaned. “I don’t want to,” he protested. “Billy Woodchuck shines shoes; but the pasture, where he lives, is a mile away. I'm too tired to go over there.” “Send somebody with your shoes,” Aunt Amanda replied. “There's Fatty Coon now, coming up from the creek. Send him!” Uncle Sammy didn’t want his shoes shined. “It's just a whim,” P “Just a whim!” “What's that?” Aunt Amanda in- ' quired sharply. Uncle Sammy didn’t answer. Hg hastened to call to Fatty Coon, and beckon to him. When Fatty came waddling up, Uncle Sammy said to him: “Take my shoes over to the pasture and get Pilly Woodchuck to shine them.” “Take off your shoes,” sald Fatty good-naturedly. Uncle Sammy untied his shoes and stepped out of them. “Here!. What are you dolm‘(" he cried, the next moment. Iatty Coon was putting the shoes on his own feet! ““This is the only safe way to carry your shoes,” Fatty 5 explained. “Ti can't lose them when I'm wearing: them.” “Well, T don’t llke your way,"” Uncle Sammy grumbled. “Be care- ful of my shoes!

Yet that fittle broadening of the lapel, the adding of a second button or pocket is momentous when the wearer has reached what mothers are apt to call the "fAnicky” age of 12 or thereabouts, It's far better to shiver, thinks the average Beau Brummell, than to wear an overcoat that {s not "like the kind the other fellows are wearing.' Every mother's son this season will be wanting raglan sleeves and a turned-up, buttoned-over collar. And a snappy belt, don't forget the belt by any means! The material, too, counts a lot in the scheme of things, it should be of chinchilla cloth, chev- fot, @ heather mixture or a smart new brown worsted. any boy stands a chance of dofng his soclal best, et “Be speclally careful of them com- ing back,” Aunt Amanda added. “We don’t want his fresh shine spolled.” “I'll keep your shoes; and you won't forget to come back, Uncle’ Sammy. As soon as Fatty was out of sight, Uncle Sammy tried to slip his feet Into Fatty's shoes. Alas! They were too small. “Maybe I can wear 'em,” sald Aunt Amanda. She tried on Fatty's shoes. They were exactly her size “I'll wear 'em until he gets back,” she remarked.. “Those shoes are new; mine are full of holes. In fact, maybe I'll keep these shoes and let Fatty have my old ones.” “A fine idea—that!" cried her hus- band. And then he climbed a tree, to gait and watch for Fatty's re- turn. He waited and watched all the rest of that day. And as the time slowly dragged on and Fatty Coon did not appear, Uncle Sammy grew almost frantic. “Here's a nice howdy-do!” he spluttered to Aunt Amanda. ‘“You've got me into a fine fix. I'll have to get me a new pair of shoes, uome- how. And you needn't ask me hLave them shined. You see whut getting my shoes shined has done to me."” Late that evening Fatty Coon came back, dragging one foot after the other. Uncle Sammy’'s shoes upon his feet were coated thick with mud. And Uncle S8ammy was furious. “You haven't been to the pasture at all,”” he shrieked. ‘‘Jou never got my shoes shined.” “Oh, yes! I had them shined,” Fatty told him. .“Billy Woodchuck shined them. “Then why didn't you come right back here, carefully?” Uncle Sammy snapped. ‘“‘Because I couldn’t pay Billy. You didn't give me anything to pay him with. So he daubed mud .on the shoes and spoiled the shine. And then I was afraid to come bac™. And I was afraid not-to,” Fatty ex- plained uneasily: % “Take my shoes off this instant!” Uncle Sammy thundered. Fatty obeyed. “Where are mine?” he uked, “Here!” sald Uncle Sammy, hand- fng him Aunt Amanda’s worn-out shoes. ““These aren't mine,” sald Fatty. “Yes, they are. Didn’t I just give them to you?” Well, there was nothing Fatty could do except tp put on the old shoes and go on his way. Luckily he had not traveled far befor8 he came upon Aunt Amanda, taking a nap in a spruce tree. Fatty climbed the tree nolselessly. Very cautiously he changed shoes with Aunt Amanda. And she never waked up. In his excitement Fatty made one mistake. He put Aunt Amanda's shoes on wrong end to, so that the toes pointed backward. And that was the reason why Uncle Sammy Coon appeared at the house of Aunt Polly Woodchuck, the herb doctor, that night, in great distress. “My wife is in terrible shape,” he gasped. “She's completely arcund. When she walks she goes backward.” Aunt Polly knew that the case was a serlous one. She hurried off’with Uncle Sammy. And when she saw Aunt Amanda she said that the first thing to do was to take her shoes off and put her to bed. Well, as soon as they got Aunt Amanda’'s shoes off her feet she felt better right away., But Aunt Polly made her go to bed all the same, and gave her a bitter herb to eat. And Aunt Amanda never asked Uncle Sammy to have his shoes shined again. (Copyright 1922 by Metropolitan Newspaper Service). SCALLOPED OYSTERS BY BERTHA E.
