there wns a Young Mnn
I 1 named Cyril Frnppey who
V. J prided himself on the Fact
thnt he never made a Show of
&
tils Emotions. He wanted to be like a
British Nobleman, who can go through
an Explosion without shifting his
* Monocle. He knew that Men would
secretly envy him and Beautiful Wom-
en would eat out their Hearts for him
If he could ever be the calm, poised,
unruffled, unexcltnhle, superior and
patronising Man of the World. It was
v a hefty Contract for one born In an
5 $1,800 House In a ratty Suburb where
Vegetables were sold from Wagons
and there wns no Social I.lfe except
two Crass Tennis Courts. Statistics
show, however, thnt mnny of our most
hlghgeared Aristocrats came from west
of Pittsburgh, and a Wrist Watch will
lit any one. •
Mr. Frnppey didn’t have any An-
cestors whose Pictures he could pro-
duce. If ,he had secured the Pictures,
he wouldn’t have dared to hang them
on the Wall. He didn't have any Crest
or Coat of Arms, although he certain-
ly wns entitled to an Heraldic Device
Showing a Mushroom surrounded by
* Icicles pendant.
He was Just a Hireling In a Bank,
with enough Property to (111 a Steamer
Trunk and a Bank account not yet
strong enough to stand alone, hut he
*v had the lofty Manner of Caesar en-
tering Home at the head of Ids Le-
gions and he seemed to get away with
It
He Is Sure to Rise.
In this Country, when a Lad of
Lowly Birth keeps himself In a Con-
dition of antiseptic Cleanliness and
comports himself with Dignity and
„ looks down at the Universe from
■V Heights above, he is sure to rise nhove
the Common Herd and finish either In
the Aisle of the Dress floods Depart-
ment or the Private Office of some
l phm.ey Development Proposition. Mr.
V Frappey seemed cut out for Future
Oreatness, because even the Stenog-
raphers admitted that he had the Hall-
Mark of Distinction, If that means
* anything to you. In other words he
carried a Ton of Swank and he hnd
no Pads. Trying to be Chummy with
Cyril would have been Just like Aft-
t ernoon Ten at the Morgue.
Our Hero specialised on the sup-
pression of all the comniKn and fami-
liar Manifestations of Human Weak-
ness.
If he happened to to* walking along
tliT Street and Saw Sn OC100 Men
gnoiped In front of a Window watch-
li|; a t>erfectly-developed Blonde dem-
*» ortstrate a frothy Wnshlng Machine
he woidd elevate the old Chin and go
straight abend, without trying to
speak a Flash.
The most exciting News In the Paper
never got him het up. If any one
started to talk Murder or Scandal or
Politics to him. he simply said "In-
deed?”—like that, you know, and In
a Moment or two he would be all
alone.
The Comic Strips never coaxed as
much as a Wrinkle out of this Eski-
mo. Sometime* he enjoyed the
Bheer.es Inwardly and wanted to bust
out hut he hnd schooled himself by
Spartan Methods and wns determined
not to be Cheap ppd Vulgar. He *vas
sure a double Portion of Frozen, Pud-
ding.
Funerals bored him. He was an-
noyed hy the Presence of so many
clammy Weepers.
Mr. Frappey hnd mapped out for
himself a very strict and definite Pol-
icy In regard to Wlmmen. He had

se She Was Plqusd and Puulad.
Miss Gluipar, for the first time In
J brief (Jareer ns u high-voltage
snip, found herself In the Presehce
ta Male who did not fall for the
Ider Action and a very superior
of Work with the Eyes. She
Banagg
was piqued nnd puzzled and to be
Literary for the Nonce, one might al-
most say that she was Intrigued- She
wns accustomed to see them curl up
like Bacon In a Skillet.
She snld to herself that this Buddie
might be a hard one to upset but It
was her Experience that the longer
they held out the harder they fell. So
she lH'gan to throw at him Everything
she had, little susiwctlng thnt Saint
Anthony, who withstood the Twelve
Temptations, had an Easy Time of It
ns compared with Mr. Frappey, the
bogus Woman-Hater.
She carried the Battle to him and
let him have Volley nfter Volley of
Soft Sighs and coy Glance*. One Eve-
ning, when It seemed as If she had
lost, he wrapped his muscular Bight
Fin around her supple Waist and re-
verted to Type. He began to gurgle all
of the Incotuffent nnd Idiotic Platitudes
of conventional Courtship. He wanted
her to marry him early next Morning.
After she got back to her noom
and straightened her Bob, she realized
the* Sir Lanncelot was Just an ordi-
nary Dub and would be an Awful
Thing to have around the House. She
knew that If lie had repulsed her and
continued to treat her as a Silly Child,
she might have worshipped him
throughout Eternity nnd even beyond.
As It was, she sent a onrt Note, In
which she explained thnt *he would
always entertain a eertnln Respect for
him bflt she was dead sure they never
could hit It off as Mnn nnd Wife, be-
cause their Nntures were not compati-
ble. In a very nice and diplomatic
way she dropped him from a Fourth
Story Window onto the hard Con-
crete.
When he rend her Note by the Morn-
ing Light of Cold Philosophy he was
much relieved. He knew that she
had tricked him hy having a Battery
concealed somewhere on her Person.
Being once more under Restraint he
wns more than ever convinced that a
Sian Is a Chump to give way to any
natural Impulse or recognize the Ex-
istence of what la sometimes known
as the Opposite Sex.
She told everybody about It but no
one believed her.

Martins Have Own Idea
About Home Selection
In attempting to lnre a small col-
ony iof martins to a yard the bird
fan will find that these birds are ec-
centric in their tastes. Sometimes
they will take a perfectly constructed
home and again they won't. And there
Is nothing anybody can do about It.
The home owner spores no trouble
or expense to build a beautiful mar-
tin house. It Is erected In the proper
position. Early In the spring a few
martin scouts come to It. spend a day
or two In It and then leave. No more
birds come. The house Is not taken
by a colony. As yet no one knows
why these migrants will take over
gome new houses and refuse to live
In others. Nor are there any Induce-
ments that can be made to the mnr-
tlns to get them to take a new house.
The bird fan has to take a chance*
It Is Imperative, of course, that the
new martin house he kept closed un-
til the martins arrive. In the mean-
time a constant war ngalnst sparrows
must be kept up. But this move alon*
will not Insure a colony of martins.-*

Old Cushion Wall Stuffed
Hundred thousand franc notes flut-
tered out from an old cushion cast of)
by auctioneers. In Paris, France, when
two Idle employees began to play with
It. The money amounting to $4,000
was collected and put In a safe. Th«
purchaser of the furniture, of which
the cushion was a part, experienced
life's darkest moment when he found
out what had happened, for It was h«
who had told the auctioneers to throw
the pillow away as It was unworth:
his taking home.
Elactra
Electra was the daughter of Aga-
memnon and the faithless Clytemnes-
tra In the Greek tragedy of that name.
In O'NetU'a play, Lavlnla Is represent-
ed as a modern Electra, to whom
mourning la becoming or flttlng, or Jn
other words “the garments of sorrow
are hers to wear forever." She can-
not win the delights of normal exist-
ence, but la doomed to eternal grief
and punishment
The Opal
Despite the popular superstition that
the opal will bring bad luck to Its
wearer, this stone was of great repute
In olden day* as a cure for eys
troubles and many other Ills. Among
other things It was supposed fo ac-
tivate the heurt, preserve from Infer-
Hou, prevent swooning, relieve dejeo
lion and Implant hitpe.
Lioness Enjoys Music
Concertina music and hymns so
pleased a lioness that she forgot to at-
tack three men In a camp In the Trans-
vaal, according to E. R. du Plessls, a
big-game hunter of South Africa. Du
I’lessls, a professor, and M. van der
Merwe were In camp. “Van der
Merwe was playing a concertina and
singing hymns, when suddenly a
lioness with two beautiful cubs stalked
Into our midst. In tune to the con-
certina I sang to Van der Merwe,
‘Keep on playing.’ Van der Merwe
sang to me. ‘Shoot the - thing." I
sang back to him. ‘I am a God-fearing
man. Not on a Sunday.' Meanwhile
the lioness had lain herself out In our
midst with her two cubs beside her
listening to the music. After about
ten minutes she got up, stretched her-
self, yawned, and slowly strolled off
into the bush with her cubs."

• • yOU may go home, now, Thomas."
* Laura McElroy settled her
small and uged body hack comfortably
against ihe taupe velours of her car,
surveying with satisfaction the assort-
ment of small packages hy her side.
Between the thin, veined forefinger
and thumb of her left hand she held
a penny. After her eyes had wandered
appraisingly over the packages they
turned on the penny.
It wns an Indlnn head penny. It
had come Into Mrs. McElroy’s posses-
sion not two tplnutes before In the
change from the Jig-saw puzzle she
had bought. It would do for the day's
gift to ten-year-old Bobby.
Every afternoon, unless extreme
weather Interfered, Thomas, the Mc-
Elroy chauffeur for twenty years, took
Mrs. Anthony McElroy, senior, on a
shopping expedition from the house
where she lived with her son and her
grandson. On this expedition she did
such small errands as the various busy
members of the family needed. And
alwuys, at the end of the trip, there
\ ;’.s one final errand, some knick-
knack for Bobby, her great-grandson.
Thomas fidgeted slightly. “Quite
sure you're finished, Mrs. McElroy?"
he questioned.
"Yes, thank you. Thomas. Oh—
you’re thinking of Bobby! Yes, I’ve
an Indian head penny for him. He's
collecting coins, you know."
Thomas chuckled. "Yes'm. And
stamps and cellophane and old pipes
and—”
Mrs. McElroy went on: “Yes. And
•peclnlly Indian head pennies. He
wants to make a fortune with them.
He's hertVd they’re worth more than
a cent now and he's trying to corner
the market so that when they go up
he can sell them."
Thomas, relieved, let the ear out
a bit and Mrs. McElroy turned the
penny over in her fingers and looked
at the date. An old one, 1800. She
closed her eyes.
She hnd been—let’s see, ten years
old, In 1860. On a June day In that
year she had found a penny, too. She
remembered that she and John Martin
hnd been walking home together from
school. How the city had changed
since thenl There had been country
lanes where there were city pave-
ments now. And where she had lived,
up near Fifty-ninth streets, there had
been a little pond that all the children
loved. Choked under cement, now, of
course, the springs and streums that
fed It. She and John had loitered In
the shade at the side of the pond on
their way home.
"I wish we had some candy," John
had said.
"Would you divide?" she hnd asked.
“I'd give you more than half,” John
had said.
"Would you, John? Oh, thank you.
Oh. look ! Some money!"
And there In the grass at their feet
she had spied a penny—bright and
new and shining. "Look, John. We'U
go buy some candy. You carry the
money."
So John had taken charge of their
find. "It’s our special penny,” he had
said. “I’ll mark It for ours." And
then they had sat on the grass while
he scraped away with bis knife at
the edge of the penny to mark It for
their own.
"It's brand new," he had said.
“Look—It has this year's date!"
He let her feel the ridge with her
finger nail, right In front* of the tip
of the Indian's nose. "Now let’s go
buy some candy."
“I.uura,” John had bragged, “I’m
going to be rich some day when I grow
up. I'm going to have piles and plies
of money. And I'm going to marry
you and give you half of it. And
we'll have candy each day."
John Martin—well, he'd been right.
He'd laid the foundation of the great
fortune that his grandsons were work-
ing so hard to hold together today.
She turned over the worn old coin In
her fingers. Her nail caught in a
worn ridge at Its edge. She opened
her eyes and looked, with a little
breathless start of Interest. There It
was—the deep ridge, rlght.at the point
of the Indian's nose, worn smooth and
even.
This was the same coin.
John hadn't forgotten. He had gone
West to win his wealth. He had asked
her to wait for him and she had half
promised. But then Anthony McElroy
—poor, then, too, though he did well
enough later on—had come along and
she had forgotten John and her half
promise. And when he had come back
from the West with a small fortune al-
ready his, he hnd found her promised
to Tony.
But there wns that coin in her hand,
a part of John’i struggle. The very
same coin. •
"Thomas," Mrs. McElroy said to the
chauffeur. “Perhaps yoa'd better not
go home yet. Go back to Wlnshlps'
and* I’ll buy Bobby that new stamp
album be wants. I'll keep this old
penny.”
Coin Sells for $2,080
Numismatists flocked to a rare coin
sale held In Parle at the Hotel Drouot
recently, where $2,080 waa paid for a
tetradrachma struck at Amphlpolis
(Macedonia), and $800 went for a
allver decadrachma struck at Syra-
cuse. In 1878, only $56 was paid for
the coin sold here for $2,080. Other
rare coins sold for from $800 to $244,
and the entire sale netted the auction
house a sum of 241,000 franca, or
$0,040.
GOLD UNDER YOUR GATE
117 OUI.DNT
’ » love to own one or
several of those smart,
cool, attractive nnd very
practical mercerized-cot-
ton hand-crochet blouses
which high-class specialty
shops are showing this
season, to weur with the
nnw-so-roguish linen (par-
ticularly black linen) or
pique suits? Well, why not be the
happy possessor of Just such? They
are so easy to make and Inexpensive
(when home crocheted) and are they
good-looking!
As to hand-crochet, It's the rage Just
now. Chic Parlslennes simply dote on
It. weurlng blouses of crochet with
their best-looking suits, and gloves,
the cunnlngest affairs you ever snw,
with flare cuffs, the whole thing done
In a dainty lacy stitch. Belts, too, and
pockethooks ami hats all of crochet,
while their frocks are trimmed with
deslgnful crochet Insets and entire
yokes nnd edgings and such.
The group of clever blouses In the
picture cannot but prove an Inspira-
tion to those who feel the urge to
crochet. The vastly Important thing
about- H*b*g wereartsed cMttm for
these blouses is that It washes so per-
fectly no matter how colorful It be.
Of course you are going to have a
hard time deciding which of the blouses
pictured to copy. We think the model
on the standing figure Is particularly
good-looking. It's "darling" when
made In a pastel shade to match the
skirt, although it Is Just as effective
in contrast—pale blue cotton crochet
blouse with a (fink pique or flannel
skirt, or, If you like monotones, a pink
crochet blouse topping a pink linen
skirt, a matching linen swagger coat
completing this most Intriguing three-
some. Oh. there Is no end to the
staging of effects which can be done
with these hand-crochet blouses. It is
the handsome shell stitch which makes
the aforementioned blouse outstanding,
also the tricky plcot (crochet) finish-
ing at the neckline.
The eye-satisf.vlng little sweater
with Its pert cap sleeves on the seated
figure is crocheted In blue and white
cotton. Intermingled so as to give It
a sort of tweedy effect.
The fashionable high neck of the
striped-yoke blouse shown to the right
below, also Its wee puff sleeves, make
this model a smart Item In anyone's
wardrobe. The buttons at the belt
are a happy thought, avoids stretch
Thg WfieB yhB Slip" TR6 blouse over fhe
head.
The young woman who’s head and
shoulders above the group are pictured,
is very much In crochet attire. Her
blouse is a perfectly stunning affair
crocheted In the popular filet stitch,
bright orange with white. The white
sports hnt crocheted of mercerized cot
ton has the soft, easily draped brim
which Is becoming to all types of
faces. A band of mesh stitch suggests
new height for the crown.

'T'HEBE Is an old story about a man
wandering the world over In seurch
of the pot of gold at the end of a
rainbow, who, upon returning home
tired, weary and discouraged, found
the gold under Ills doorstep.
This fable applies In fact to thou-
sands of farmers, farm women and
children who have taken fa- shots at
unseen markets away over the hill*,
and upon falling to get profitable
prices, discovered even better market*
at their door or within easy distance.
Good roads, the automobile, parcel
post, express, city markets and the de-
sire of the consumer for fresh, quality
food have not only shortened the
route to market for thousands of tons
of products of the farm, borne and
garden, but have brought million* of
extra dollars to thousands nr farms.
Approximately a million farm people
sell $200,000,000 worth of produce of
the farm, home, garden, forest* and
wild rural districts direct to the con-
sumer. In s<)me cases this market pro-
vides the entire farm Income. In oth-
ers It greatly supplements the money
brought In by the major farming ac-
tivity, even though In no way related.
There seems to be no end to what
consumers will buy from farmer*. And
hy the same token there are very few
farms ou which something to sell can-
not be raised.
Roadside marketing Is the largest of
the direct selling outlet*. Stands lo-
cated on main traveled highway* do
not have to hunt up customer*. Hun-
dreds and thousands pass dally; but
it Is up to the farmer to make them
stop. It Is being done by thousands
of farm folks in all parts of the coun-
try.
In Michigan, on a 10-mile section of
highway, more than half the 39 farms
on the road sold direct to the consum-
er. These producers, according to a
comparison of returns when produce
Is sold direct aud marketed through
regular channels, got 00 cents of the
consumer's dollar. The farmers who
sold on the terminal outlets received
but 19.4 cent* The difference, de-
spite a higher labor charge for road-
side markets, came In the elimination
of transportation and other charges
for getting food from the farm to con-
sumer.
Figure* show the cost of distributing
food at the end of 1932 was 47 per
cent higher than before the »ur while
the farm price of food was 43 per cent
lower than the same period.
Surveys of roadside marketing have

DOTS IN THE MODE
Hr ( IIKillK Nil HOIJ48
It Is surprising how persistently
dotted effects keep In the mode. To-
day, polka dots, from medium to tre-
mendous coin dots, are. If possible,
more faahlonable than ever. Paris de-
signers especially exploit the dotted
theme. To be aure, costume pic-
tured Is rather extreme', om an Amer-
ican standpoint, yet It ffw'' to ahow
how French couturiers srv placing
emphasis on dots. Another fashion
which loses not In favor is tint of
black and white. As the season pro
grosses It Is apiwrent that black wlft
white Is as much In the limelight aa
ever. The tight-fitting sleeveless black
velvet jacket and the self-fabric glove*
are the high spot* of thl* costume
ONE BLACK DRESS
IS FOUND ENOUGH
Blessed are ye who have one good
black silk dress and half s dozen
sets of collar* and cuffs, six hatbands,
two hats, three pairs of shoes and
two pairs of gloves with detached
cuffs. With a rounded or V-neck for
the dress, any number of diversified
collars—size, shape and color—may
be applied, being careful to choose
the correct hatband, gloves, cuffs,
shoes and purse.
With the hats, shoes and gloves
black and white, or perhaps one set
In a brown, beige or a medium green,
you can do wonders with constructing
a wardrobe suitable for all occasions.
One evening gown, with two or three
different jackets, accomplishes mira-
cles and makey one realize that orig-
inality and Ingenuity are having a big
Inning.
New Fell Coat* Are Rich
in Elaborate Fur Trim
The new coats shown In early fall
displays are richly trimmed with fur,
many of them having both collars and
upper sleeve accents of sliver, stone
or blue fox. astrakhan or Persian
lamb. Their silhouettes are generally
almost straight, while their hemlines
are from 7 to 11 Inches from the
ground.
The frock* ahown with them are
designed of soft wools or pebbled
crepe* with simple bodices, natural
waistlines and slender skirt* Black,
red, brown and deep green are the
favorite hue* for early fall.

Jacket Ensembles
The Jacket frock la developed In an

sheer crepea, printed crepes, chiffons,

Summer Corset* of Soft
Rubber Bid for Favor
It Isn’t fair to keep talkln* about
the top layer of fashion and extolling
Its virtue* while taking the more nb-
tcure Item* for granted. And right
now there la considers hie newt next
to the akin.
A summer corset has made a hid for
hishton's' favor. It la made oi soft
rubber—no stay* or things to cramp
you., style—and Instead of being cut
so lo.ig all tbe way down to give that
sleek line over the hlpe and upper
part of (he thighs, sections are dipped

formation of farm folks who want to
market all or part of their produce
In this way. In Ohio, for Instance,
1.700 odd markets were located on
2,800 miles of state road. The aver-
age business of each stand was slight-
ly over $1,700. ranging from several
hundred dollars to many thousand, de-
pending upon products handled and
length of the selling season.
In addition to roadside markets, an-
other profitable local outlet la the town
retailers. The consumer demand for /
home-grown product* is good, so sur-
veys have Indicated. Aod this is not
patriotism entirely. City people realise
that the nearer the source of supply,
the fresher the food.
Mrs. K. L. Slmerson. living several
miles outside of the village of Lin-
wood, North Carolina, supplies retail
stores In six cities with fruit, vege-
table*. chickens, eggs, milk and but-
termilk to the tune of $2,500 a year.
All of thl* food Is produced in her gar-
den and home without any extra help.
When a Waterloo (Iowa) grocer
asked W. 8. Brown to bring in more
of the kind of eggs he had been de-
livering. he *ald they had made a de-
cided hit with his customers and that
he could use many more than Brows
was supplying. So Brown called to-
gether 30 of his neighbors who were
working with the extension specialist
: In poultry, and they formed an asso-
i elation.
Each farmer graded and parked hit
own eggs in caton* which borejhe y
association name. On the bottolh of
each box a number was stamm-d as
a means of Identification in evqnt of
complaints. None were madeX be-
cause of the good handling and fre-
quent deliveries of the egg* which
brought a premium of 5 cent* a dogen
to the farmers.
J. P. Nelson of Stillwater. Minn., Is
a dairyman who like* to play Tclf.
Dairying Is a Job which allows little
or no time for pity; but Nelson,
thanks to a change In marketing, not
only plays golf when he wants to but
Increased hit milk Income by 25 per
cent. Whipping cream, sold to local
retailers, la tbe answer.
Elmer L. Rhodes of Abilene. Kan,
finds selling to retailers permits a bet-
ter distribution of labor In the pro- i
ductlon of crops he sells over his road- ■
side market and In growing other
things for sale later In the year. Early
crops, too atnal) for roadside market-
ing aad ready before customer* start
coming to tbe roadside market, find
good price* In town. Store* pay hi*
twice as much for early asparagus as
he can command when the roadside
stand Is open and production la gen-
eral. Sweet corn and tomatoes, too,
are sold to stores in large amounts sn
a* to give Rhodes time to cultivate

tention st that time, latter, when the
