Love’s Awakening mn:nsuq a Steadfast Woman By Adele Garrison Madge's Ingenious Story About an Imperfection in the New Car Di- verts Mother Graham's Wrath "1 found Harry Underwood with Dicky and Mother Graham upon “the front verands. My mother-in- law was sitting etiffly in her chair apd I knew that something had offended her, for her foot was tap- ping the floor, sure sign that she has had her feelings ruffled. Then my eyes followed hers to the drive- way in which stood the new car Mr. Underwood had bought, and the riddle was clear. She had not Leen asked to take a drive in the car, or-—rather she had not been given the first invitation, and she was highly incensed at the slight as | she considered it. My doughty mother-in-law jealously cherishes her dignity as the sepior member of the family, and counts as a direct | affront any attention offered to any other member before her. 1 knew that I must placate her if any of us were to take any pleasure | in the car, and &s Dicky and Harry | rose, I slipped past them, ignoring the chairs they pulled forward and 00k a seat behind Mother Graham and facing them. From that van- tage point I signaled them violently to follow my lead, and gave wha appeared to be a worried warning “By the way don't forget to have the cushion of that rear seat fixed at Riverhead. T can’t let Mother Graham go for a drive with you until that seat is fixed.” Mother Graham turned truculently. “How often have I told you, Mar- | garet, that I do phraseology to be used concerning me?” she demanded. “I want you to me to understand once and for all that | T am not a child to be ‘let go for a ! drive.’ What is the matter with the seat? She turned back to Mr. Under- wood, and I triumphantly noted thae T had transferred part of her wrath at least to my diction. And T took care to answer her question before Mr. Underwood could frame one “We think it is some littla piece | of the spring. It doesn't amount | to much, but it's right on the right side where you always sit, and I rot permit that| know you'd be most uncomtfortable it you ride in it before it's fixed. 1 warnad Harry this morning when he was looking for you to go for a drive that he mustn't ask you until that seat was fixed. But there's' a good place at Riverhead—you ought to be able to get it fixed there this morning, Harry, and then this afternoon you can issue the invita- tion I stopped this morning" T managed a gay little laugh af the end of my sentence, and saw to my glee that Mother Graham's foot had stopped its tapping. Mr. Underwood took my cue and elaborated upon it artistically. “Just wait till I see the bird that sold ma that boat,” he said. “The seat looked all right, and of course I was paying most of my attention to the engine. If Madge and Lil hadn’t told me about it, I'd have had you out in 1t this morning, and then you'd have been uncomfort- ahle and I never would have for- | given myself. But I'll have it fixed by this afternoon.

Bobby Coon Grows Angry By Thornton W. Burgess Disappointment often will Make short tempers shorter still. —Old Mother Nature Inside a hollow log crouched Whitefoot the Wood Mouse. It was a small log and it was a very small hollow. Whitefoot had darted into it through a knothole that was just big enough for him to squeeze through, “It's a lucky thing for me that this old log was right handy,” said Whitefoot to himself as he Pulled his long tail in after him. “Bobby Coon would have had me, Y'm -afraid, it this old log hadn't been right here.” A moment later Whitefoot was by no means sure that Bobby Coon wouldn’t have him anyway. Bobby ‘had seen just where he went. He came over to the old log and sniffed at the knothole. Of course, he got his nose full of the scént of Mouse. ‘That scent was so strong that Bobby knew that Whitefoot couldn't be .very far inside that hollow log. He suspected that it was a small hol- low. “I wonder it I could pull him out of there. It I can once get my claws into him he’ll come out,” muttered Bobby. . So he thrust in through the knothole one of his paws, which ‘was very like a hand. Then he be- gan to feel about. He felt all around very carefully. Once smooth and round slipped out from ‘under his fingers. He knew what Il’ was; it was Whitetoot's tail. He knew then that that hollow was #0 small that Whitefoot was having hard work to keep out of reach. Two or three times he felt the touch of fur, but there was nothing | he could get hold of. It was very ,exasperating. Yes, indeed, it was very exasperating. He pulled his arm out. “Come out of there!” he commanded. “I'll get you anyway 80 vou may as well save me the trouble of pulling you out.” Ot course, Whitefoot didn’t come something | “I wonder if I could pull him out of there” licked the finger that Whitefoot had bitten. Then, very well satisfied with what he had done, Bobby Coon headed for the Laughing Brock to wash his hands, for you know Bobby Coon is very neat. “I'll come back by and by.” mut- tered Bobby to himself, “and have another try for that Wood Mouse.” (Copyright, 1928, by T.

He will learn to wait for his turn, to say please and thank you, to wash his hands and face before eating.

BY AMELITA GALLI-CURCI Simplicity in styles for young girls is the prime thing, but they can wear almost anything. If a wo- man of forty were to adopt those same atyles she would look eighty. For the quite young girl, unless she is tall, the robe de style, which is coming in again, is both piquant and charming for evening wear. But lace makes a robe de style look cheap. Made of flowing silk, and Amelita Galli-Curci worn with necklace and curls, the result is a picture. And all those things are in style again. Colors for Older Women For older women, who should dress in & more sophisticated way, the splendid stuffs of gold and silver make effective evening dresses. And for evening dresses, too, nothing is more admirdble at least to my way of thinkin, than bright and radiant colo I like a brillant world. Black for evening is too trying for older women; it takes the young com- plexion to appear well in that. But for ftening .older faces, use pastel shades. White often is very effective too. Nowadays one cannot be indi- vidual in the cut of dresses, for to ignore the line would be to make one look and feel a ‘back number, When it comes to detail, however, it is another matter. So long as details are not too pronounced and do " not @sturb the all-important line, one may be very individual in the choice of them. A most becoming evening dress may be made of layer on layer of white tulle, with one or two layers of rose colored. tulle under the topmost layer of all. The faint flush of a paler rose for blonds, and one of deeper tone for brunets most becomingly the coloring in the complexion. Beige Shoes and Gloves Pull-on gloves I like very much. They do not cramp the hands and make them look like sausages. I like everything comfortable, noth- ing tight. Tight 'things do not help the figure either, but makes one look stouter. As to the color for gloves, beige goes with every- thing and is suitable for every oc- casion. To economize, beige shoes mean wisdom, for they blend with every gown and even with smart white ones. With them nude colored stockings go well. Where means afford it, shoes may match the gown, but beige is really the one color that goes with everything. Perfumery is a very individual affair. 1 like a geod, heavy ori- ental perfume. My blonde sister may select some more subtle kind. But I do not think that when a wo- man decides upon some perfume to her exact liking, confining her- self to that special one accentuates her individuality.

Lita Korbe Has Traveled a Unique Road to Vocal Fame Iita Korbe Mesaba hills of Minncsota. grew up in a two-room miner's cottage tm the blask Now she is winning - fame as & singer. At the right you see her as a trained nurse, New York, BSept. 20. — Radio manufacturers. chose beautiful Lita Korbe, 25 years of age and a lyric coloratura soprano, as “queen” of the 1928 radio world’s - fair at Madison Square Garden, and there- by uncovered a .unique story of feminine success. For the trail which Miss Korbe has followed to her queendom, and to possible entry into opera, leads back to a two- room Finnish miner's cottage in the bleak Mesaba hills of northeast Minnesota. Miss Korbe was born in the Mesaba hills, and grew to high achool age while living with six brothers and sisters and her par- ents in a two-room home in the mining town of Chisholm. Spomsored by Celebrities Now she's not only queen of the radio world fair., Bhe sings in the homes of Miss Anne Morgan, Mrs. Chas. H. Sabin, Mrs. Willlam K. Vanderbilt, and other celebri- ties of New York society, and has been the guest of several such cel- ebrities . in their “diamond horse- shoe” boxes at the Metropolitan. Her goal is a place on the Metro- politan stage—the ultimate of vo- cal attainment. Perlods of experience as a trained nurse and as a vaudeville singer punctuate the story of the fame she has won. “I always wanted to know what was beyond the horizon,” Miss Korbe said. “In Chisholm, T looked -after the neighbors’ babies and helped t#em in other ways to earn money I needed to get through high school. One of Fate’s Turns “While I was a high school sophomore, I took scarlet fever. In the hospital, while I was re- covering, I helped the nurses. As a result I turned nurse myself. “After school, I nursed in a hos- pital in Minneapolis. Then I de- cided I wanted to see California, and went to 8an Franeisco. There, while nursing, 1 earned free vocal lessons by singing in a church choir. “l gave up nursing when an op- portunity to sing with a light op- era company came my way. “Friends finally urged me to go to Hollywood and try for a career in pictures. The idea was a mis- taken one, but at the Metro Gold- wyn studios 1 was asked to try my voice. Just by chance I sang ‘Marcheta.” “‘That was beautiful’ one of the officials told me. Then he add- ed ‘I wrote that song’ He was Victor Schertzinger. And So to New York “Through my acquaintance with him I went back to nursing, as as- sistant to the chief surgeon of the Pacific Electric ‘Railways. Mean- while I took more voice lessons from Mrs. Gloria Bretherton, who ‘was perhaps my finest inspiration. “I left Los Angeles finally for Chicago, and began singing in vaudeville. And at last 1 sang my way to New York.” Miss Korbe went back to Chis- holm this year to be with her mother, who was seriously ill. She was asked to give a concert wile there, and in the auditorium of the public school sang to hdndreds of the mining people among whom she had spent her childhood. “The memory of that concert i the most beautiful of my life,” Miss Korbe said.
