‘ , and I caught Marion Love’s Awakening rammananns By Adele Marion Accepts Her Stepfather’s Peace Qffering with Ll Feeling Somewhat Relaxed As Dicky made his flamboyant announceyjient that the luxurious motor stynding by the curb was the “new family car of the Under- woods," 'L heard Maroin catch her breath, and looking quickly at her saw that her face had again dark- cned with the jualousy of her step- fatherfwhich was so shadowing her mot. s life and her own. 1 L&d only a second's opportuni- ty. Harry Underwood with the ex- pression of a boy who has bought lis/ first Christmas present for a sirl, was gazing at his wife's face which for the instant was turned away from her daughter and tc- ward the new car. I did not care what Dicky or Mary saw or heard, hand in mine and pressed it warningly. “Don’t spoil ure in this,” 1 whispered, She threw up her head angrily, as might a colt pricked by the spur, and her eyes as they met mine were hard, unyielding. But she is too sound at heart for real meanness or rancor, and the next instant eyes softened into misty contrition and .she returned the pressure of my hand. “I'll be good,” she and I released her hand Lillian after an agitated ejacula- tion of “Harry!" which voiced a whole gamut of emotions, turned to her daughter, ‘Marion! Look! dertui I saw the girl square her shoul- ders as she went forward toward the car, and guessed t rerving herself to prai would have prepared for the draw- ing of a tooth. But it is not in the nature of any girl or boy to resist the lure of a smart motor car, and ! heard genuine admiration in her voice as she put her hand on the hood. | “It sure Is the spiffiest thing — nd —see—Mary it's ' nam- inz A high-powered car, by no means even middle class in price. “It ought to go." “She'll go, all right,” Mr. Under- whispered, Jjust Isn't this won- your mother's pleas- | her | as | 'l'lu?

And 1 got the great. est bargain on her, Lil—this so you won't be worrying about the sher- iff on my trail “That's a great relief, his wife told him with dancing eyes, but I guessed there was more than a soupcon of truth in the words. Harry Underwood never had been noted for his ability to save money although he could earn any amount of it, and though not a wastrel, he Was an extravagant spender. But there was something about the statement he just had made to his wife which carried the conviction that he not only had spoken the truth, but that the purchase of the car had been a carefully-thought- cut thing with but very little thought of his own pleasure enter- ing into it. “I'm glad you like it, Marion,” he went on. “I've planned it ever since 1 got free of the bandages, but 1 was afraid 1 wasn't going to be able to pull it off before you went tack to school. You'll need it to get all your traps down there if I'm any judge.” Marion started violently, and 1 guesskd that she was torn between Ler reluctance to accept any favor at the hands of her stepfather and the alluring prospect of returning to school by a smart motor car in- stead of by train. Mary, whether intentionally or wot, gave her an opportunity of pulling herself to- gether by excliiming excitedly: “Oh, boy, aren't you the ucky girl, Marion. Just think of driving up to the front dcor of your school in that! T'll bet there won't he a spiffier car in the whole yard and mighty few that come anywhere near it."” | Marion took a deep breath and {looked at her stepfather squarely. “It's wonderful,” she gaid tremu- lously, “and—and—I'm very much | obliged to you for thinking of me. T'll love to go back to school in this.” Copyright, 1928, Newspaper Feature Service, Inc. Chatterer Is Sent Flying By Thornton W. Burgess How often confidence is shocked And self-complacency is mocked. —Old Mother Nature Chattgres the Red Squirrel was in the top of a small, slender birch tree near the edge of the pond of Paddy the Beaver, deep in the Green Forest. Standing upright be- low and glaring up at him was Cubby Bear. Cubby couldn't pos- ibly climb out on those slender .anches where Chatterer was, and the moment Chatterer felt quite ‘e. He made a face at Cubby. Yes, oir, he made a face at Cubby! He Just couldn’t resist the temptation. Cubby was hopping mad, as the saying is. He was fairly dancing up and down with anger. He knew it | was useless to try to climb that lit- | tle tree, He could get part way up it, but he couidnt possibly get up there where Chatterer wa: You think you're smart, you?" sputtered Cubby Bear. “But | you're flot nearly so smart as you think you are. It is true that I can't get up where you are now, but it is also true that you can't get away | from this tree. There isn't another tree that you can jump to. If you jump down to the ground. I will be waiting for you right where you land. There is nothing for you to eat up this tree. I'm going fo s.ay right here until you come down, or jump - down.” Chatterer didn’t know what to say to this, o he said nothing. He made another face, a disagreeable face, at Cubby. You know, Chatterer is very saucy. He is one of the sauciest and most impudent of ail the little peo- ple in the Green Forest or on the Green Meadows. Of course, that didn’t intprove Cubby's temper any. He even started to climb the tree, but thought better of it and backed down. Then he sat down to keep watch of Chattere . Chatterer was worried. He was more worricd than he would admit even to himself. He was a prisoner | up in that tree. Sooner or later he | would have to come down. If Cubby should he patient enough, he wotd be in trouble. But perhaps Cubby wouldn't be patient. Chatterer knew a little bit about Bears. He knew | that Bears were not like members of the Cat family in the matter of patience. He knew that they sel- dom stuck to any one thing very long. So he had hope—a great deal of hopa—that Cubby would grow | tired and leave. He wasn't really as much worried about Cubby as hc was about being discovered by Red tail the Hawk or some other mem- ber of the Hawk family. So he made himself comfortable in the top of the tree and amused himself by making faces at Cubby, which of course was not at all a nice thing to do. Now it began to look as if mat- | ters were going to turn out just as Chatterer hoped they would. Cubby became uneasy. He began walking about. He walked ‘round and ’round that little tree. Occasionally he would sit down, but it would be fonly for & few moments. Chatterer chuckled to himself. Yes, sir, he did so. It was right in the midst of one of those chuckles that something happened. It happened so unexpect- dly that it quite took Chattérer's breath away. Cubby suddenly topped walking around that tree. He stood up on his hind feet and took hold of that little tree with his forefeet and began shaking it. JThe very first shake almost sent Shatterer flying, but he ménaged don't | “You think you're smart, don't you?" sputtered Cubby Bear top of that tree swayed. You know, it was a very young tree and a very limber tree. (‘ubby saw rght away that Chatterer was in diffi- culty. Chatterer was in difticulty. He |! was having all he could do to hold | n. Every instant he expected to be sent flying through the air. He was frightened now. My goodness, how frightened he was! But Cubby was having a good time, This was fun! He almost forgot that he as {rying to catch Chatterer. Harder and harder he shook that tree. And then suddenly Chatterer went sail- ing through the air. He had lost his | grip.

MORRIS FISHBI Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hy- geia, the Health Magazine The number of strange notions regarding the hair is infinite. One of them has to go with the idea that the pouring . and rubbing of tonics of one sort or another upon the scalp wil influence greatly the growth and texture of the hair. Experienced investigators are inclined to believe that the loss of hair is associated in most in- stances with heredity, and that in the absence of hereditary factors, the quality of the hair is a _reflec- tion to a considerable extent of the circulation ¢f the scalp and the nature of the blood coming to it.

SILHOUETTES WILL FCLLOW DICTATES : OF FABRICS FOR FALL’S EVENING DRESS the purposes of adding length, tiers are equally dependable for creating the width which the majority. of skirts possess. Tiers may mean a tunic ot a peplum, besides the fam. iliar tier itself. In any one of these, the new look comes from the ful- ness of this added skirt-section considerably above the hemline and approaching the hip. In out-and- out tiered arrangements, which rarely swerve from the two and the lowest tier forms the hemline so that fulness is the order there, as well as above. The tlared tunic and the peplum each being & form adapted to wearer types. The flared tunic is usually a favorite with women while the youthful customer invariably claims the peplum. All these =skirt outlines are essentially feminine, and all are significant of the silhouette trend for fall. Repeating the statement that the wider skirt outlines, it will not be difficult for women to accept them as spe- cified above. The insistence on a fitted hip and waitsline, that is, the shaped girdle and yoke, gives the contrast that makes the silhouctte ensemble balanced and chie. POLKA DOTS POPULAR The vogue for polka dots con- | tinues, little short jackets of polka dotted silk being very smart with silk or jersey skirts. NEW SLIPPERS Crepe de chine slippers have been very successful, and are often em- bellished with tiny silver pipings. ETON JACKET A cinnamon brown woelflower frock for early autumn has a re- movable sleeveless Eton jacket with seal fashioning a shawl cel- lar on it. FUR JABOT A bottle green kasha dress - has a moleskin jabot to trim its wajst portions and bands of moleskin rounding the bottom edge of side godets, TO SHARPEN NEEDLES A blunted needle can be quickly sharpened and made available for service by stitching for a few inches through a piece of fine sandpaper.
